Scars On 45 Plays Sun Valley Brewery
from Vietnam with love
BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
hey are an English indie rock band who rose from obscurity when their song “Beauty’s Running Wild” was featured in an episode of “CSI: New York.” More recently, their single, “Heart on Fire,” was selected as the lead song for ABC’s hospital drama, “Grey’s Anatomy.” Now Scars on 45 will be rocking out at the Sun Valley Brewery in Hailey at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 25. Advance tickets are $10; they’re $15 the day of the show. “They’re quite an accomplished band,” said Sean Flynn, who books the music for the Brewery. “They have had their songs on several TV series including “The Tonight Show,” as well as several times on VH1 Morning Buzz and MTV’s new artist’s feature. They were also signed by Atlantic Records’ Chop Shop Records.” The band was started by lead singer Danny Bemrose who learned to play his father’s guitar after a broken foot ended his professional football career as a striker for the Huddersfield Town F.C. “I had been playing football so long I was completely lost without it. I taught Stuart Nichols, who played on an opposing team, how to play bass and we recorded on a computer before bringing together the rest of the band. The first gig we spent the whole time with our backs to the audience we were so nervous,” Bemrose recalled. The band took its name from an Emmylou Harris interview lead singer Bemrose heard, in which Harris talked about scratching her Dad’s records and being scolded for getting “scars on his 45s.” It was one of the few names they considered that band members didn’t readily dismiss; hence, it stuck. The five-member band’s single “Give Me Something” from their first EP was recognized as one of the Top 3 Singles of the Year by Amazon.com in 2011. The quintet was also named to “Entertainment Weekly’s “Must List” that year. The group’s first fulllength studio album, “Scars on 45,” was selected as No. 7 out of 50 Best Albums of 2012 by Amazon.com. Their music has also been featured on such TV shows as “One Tree Hill,” “Pretty Little Liars” and “Supernatural.” tws
Cuc Ho garnishes one of his stir-fry dishes.
Cuc Ho got bigger woks this year—the better to serve up Asian food by.

uc Ho is a familiar face behind the flame and smoke emanating from the round-bottom woks at River Run Lodge. Treating Sun Valley residents and visitors to authentic Asian fare has been his life for 30 years, as he plops hands full of white noodles into the wok, stir-frying shrimp in a tiny bit of oil. Every once in awhile, he casts a sly grin, creating a little drama as the flame shoots up almost to the ceiling. Just for good measure, he tosses the concoction in the wok up in the air before catching it smack dab in the middle of the pan’s gently sloping sides. “Very good!” diner Jesse Burke gives him a thumbs up. “He really puts on a show for you.” The beauty of the ski lodge with its chandeliers and giant picture windows looking out onto Sun Valley’s storied ski runs are far removed from the life the 5-foot-1, 100-pound Cuc Ho once knew. Born in Da Nang, Vietnam, Ho was
among the Vietnamese boat people—refugees who fled Vietnam with the fall of Saigon to the North Vietnamese Army in 1975. “After the country split in half, the Viet Cong came in and gave every family a dollar to survive. Me and my brother— we go to Hong Kong, then the Philippines. And finally we come to America where I meet a wife and get married and we have three babies,” Ho says. Of course, it wasn’t as simple as all that. About 800,000 Vietnamese refugees fled Vietnam by boat—most of them in the mass exodus in 1978 and 1979 spurred by increasingly repressive and retributive policies. Many of the refugees failed to survive their journeys, which were fraught with pirates, overcrowded fishing boats and mishaps. “We sail on the water. We sleep on the water. We get lost. We hungry. We thought that we were going to die,” Ho says, recalling his journey with a hundred fellow Vietnamese in his somewhat limited English. “Fourteen days from Vietnam to
China. No food. No water. Only crackers. Our lips were cracked from sitting in the sun. Everybody say we gonna die. Then a storm come and people use their clothes to trap drinking water,” he adds. Eventually, the boat landed in China. But the boat people were met with bandits with machine guns and angry Chinese who told them, “Get the f--- out of our town!” Reluctantly, Ho and his fellow refugees crowded back into the boat. This time they were not as fortunate as a storm came in, dashing the boats against some rocks. The boat started filling with water and suddenly it splintered. “Everyone was in the water. We hang onto pieces of the boat,” Ho recalls. “Seventy-five people died.” Ho and his brother were among the lucky few who made it to Hong Kong. Ho lived in a refugee camp there for two years where he learned to cook for the camp. He then was relocated to Malaysia.

Film Festival: Non-Stop Action It’s A Wrap And A Good One At That! movie review
T
Festival Director Candice Pate chats with actor Scott Glenn at Sunday’s Bloody Mary Brunch.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
I
n the first three years of the Sun Valley Film Festival, the direct and indirect economic impact will probably cross over the $7 million mark, Otter told the sold-out gathering awaiting the festival’s opening film. By all appearances, the third festival appeared successful, said Carol Waller, the festival’s media spokesman. It brought an array of festival goers from all walks of life to Sun Valley, including astronaut Barbara Morgan, a Boise lawyer, and the communications director for The Peregrine Fund. It brought an array of fascinating speakers, including actors Kevin Smith and Mariel Hemingway and Academy Award nominee producers Ron Yerxa and Jim Burke. And the festival saw increased ticket sales, despite unseasonably warm temperatures that made it difficult to duck into movie theaters in the middle of the day. One of the crowd favorites was a New Zealand film titled “Antarctica: A Year on Ice,” which exposed the travails of year-round workers unclogging pipes full of frozen pee and finding bunkrooms clogged with ice and snow after hurricane-like blizzards. “Life’s A Breeze” provided a fresh take on comedy the Irish way as it followed the hunt for a mattress containing a million euros that do-gooders unwittingly threw out when surprising Granny with a home makeover. Sun Valley’s Benjamin and Teresa Castellano-Wood supplied financial backing for another crowd favorite, Arie Posin’s “The Face of Love,” a romantic drama starring Ed Harris, Annette Benning and Robin Williams. And the student films fea-
tured an impressive amount of diversity, said Ketchum resident Bex Wilkinson, who has been involved in the film industry. “Sun Valley has had a long history with Hollywood and films dating back to the time of Averell Harriman. This offers a creative format that’s good for the community and filmmakers. And the Coffee Talks where you get to chat with scriptwriters and actors on an intimate basis are really special,” said festival-goer Nicole Kohn. The film festival garnered Sun Valley some favorable national press. “Sun Valley does not need neon to spell h-e-a-v-e-n; it just is,” wrote Gordy Grundy for The Huffington Post. “Some film festivals ice their cake with a thick frosting of glamour, star power and Hollywood hullabaloo. Others are more reserved and understated. The Sun Valley Film Festival is young, with an attitude that is reflective of the city. The programming offers a preference for content over tinsel,” he added. The festival does have much to commend, said writer John Gottberg Anderson, who writes for the Bend “Bulletin” and Eugene “Register-Guard.” “It’s very good for networking from an industry perspective, but the filmmakers don’t network with the community much,” he said. “I would characterize this as a party festival--there are parties from 3 on. But it screens in the neighborhood of 30 films whereas other festivals might screen 80. There’s not ample opportunity to see an individual movie. You get one chance and if it conflicts with another movie or is sold out you don’t get to see it unless it’s chosen as one of the Best of the Fest. Other places you get two or three showings.”

he good news about the new action thriller NonStop is that it’s really good. It was hard to tell from the coming attractions, but the movie really delivers the goods and that is due in most part to its star, Liam Neeson. The Irish-born ex-boxer and great actor has turned into the most improbable action hero in the history of film. Best known for astounding audiences in Eugene O’Neill’s works on Broadway and the film Schin-
In Non-Stop, he plays an air marshal that has seen better days. Meeting him, we see him having a drink before boarding. He’s a troubled alcoholic with a sad backstory, including being fired by the NYPD and dealing with the death of his daughter. But he has a badge and a gun and that’s all we need to know. Mid-flight from New York to London, he receives a text on his secure network that someone on board will kill a passenger every 20 minutes unless $150 million is deposited in an offshore account. The question is, who is texting, and early in the flight we are introduced to a number of passengers that could fit the bill. So it’s beat the clock for Neeson, and the claustrophobic surroundings add to the tension. Although the film has a slightly unsatisfactory ending, the ride along is a lot of fun. Admirably directed by Jaume Collet-Serra off a fine script by John W. Richardson, Chris Roach and Ryan Engle, the pace never lags and, of course, Neeson gets the bad guy.

Healing… From S The Inside BY KIM MAZIK
A
fter trauma, injury or surgery, it’s not unusual for people to experience loss of appetite. Anesthesia and other medications, pain and inactivity all tend to suppress the appetite. This creates a dilemma in that when you most need nutrients from food to help your body heal, you’re just not interested in eating. According to the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, your calorie needs are now greater than usual because your body requires energy from nutritious foods to fuel the healing process; you will need to consume about 15-20 calories per pound (using your current body weight). If your overall nutritional needs are not met, body tissues such as muscles and ligaments will begin to break down. This will compromise healing and may prolong your recovery period. Yes, there are supplements, but I know of something better. It’s called living foods. First, a little history: Various peoples around the world have preserved their food out of necessity using a process of lacto-fermentation. Granted, it’s not the most appealing name, but the result is magic, nonetheless! “Cultured foods” are the result of this fermentation and are known to be some of the most nutritious substances on the planet. Basically, lacto-fermentation happens when Lactobacilli, good bacteria found naturally in foods, converts starches and sugars into lactic acid, a natural preservative that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. This process creates an amazing probiotic. It also starts the process of digestion to unlock additional nutrients (such as enormous amounts of vitamin C), allowing our bodies to maximize absorption. All health starts in the digestive tract, thanks to predominant cells called Enterocytes. Even though they only live for a few days, these little workhorses enable the final stages of absorption and digestion. And they multiply in the presence of cultured foods! Cultured foods can also reduce the body’s inflammatory and allergic responses by stimulating the adrenal glands through large amounts of vitamins B and C that become bio-available as these foods are digested. This support of the adrenals is essential to avoid “adrenal fatigue” that can result in chronic pain and exhaustion—desirable to avoid at any time, but especially when you’re already not on your game! Even if someone has no in-
terest in food, they are usually motivated to drink liquids to avoid the complications of dehydration. The fermented drinks ‘kefir’ (pronounced KEE-fur) and ‘kombucha’ (kom-BOO-cha) are tasty and easy-to-digest options. Yogurt is a cultured food but nutritionally pales in comparison to kefir. Think of kefir as a more nutritious, slightly bubbly, pourable version of yogurt and you get the picture. While yogurt has only 7-10 strains of good bacteria, kefir has between 30 and 55! No wonder kefir originated from a Turkish word meaning “good feeling!” I use kefir made from almond milk (because of its high calcium content) in my morning smoothie to start the day off right. Kombucha is a fermented tea made from a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast combined with tea and sugar. Not to worry in regards to the sugar; the culture itself consumes it, leaving a refreshingly tart quality likened to sparkling apple cider. Reach for it in the afternoon for a healthy alternative to soda. Sauerkraut and pickles made the “old-fashioned way” along with the spicy Korean veggie known as ‘kimchi’ are all examples of cultured veggies. I am discovering delicious ways to ferment tomatoes, beets, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, kale, and chard that perk up any meal. These guys, in combination, provide lots of calcium along with vitamins A, C, K and E that are essential for rebuilding tissue. Culturing veggies is super-easy and requires no boiling or heating—a plus for those who do not enjoy cooking. I personally became aware of cultured foods after doing battle with an intestinal parasite. I knew I had to “recolonize” my gut with probiotics and had just read about cultured foods, so decided to give it a try. At the time I had no idea that kefir contains more probiotics than I could ever get in capsule form; I was just interested in healing my gut. I found that the combination of kefir, kombucha and kimchi promoted much quicker and more complete recovery than I‘d experienced years ago following a bout of giardia. If you are interested in changing your health, contact NourishMe in Ketchum or the Sustainability Center in Hailey; both offer classes and you can try their handcrafted cultured foods. You can also learn more by visiting the website CulturedFoodforLife.com. I gratefully applaud Donna Schwenk for sharing her knowledge and passion in her book, Cultured Food For Life. tws

emy since her sophomore year. “We started with a basic health class that is required for graduation and where we learned about all the different systems in the body. After that we took Medical Terminology for half the year. We had to learn all the terms imaginable and they probably had to kill a million trees to make the book because it was so thick.” The next year she obtained her Certified Nursing Assistant degree for Idaho through a dual credit course with CSI. The class was with a teacher and then she had to go to Twin Falls for a hands-on skills test and then a written test. “During the course you really work primarily with elderly patients by caring for them and helping with their
daily activities, like dressing, going for walks and getting them to bed. I worked in Blaine Manor and many were near the end, so it was hard to see. For the final exam it involved a scenario where we took the vital signs like blood pressure, temperature and pulse and then would feed the patient. With a mannequin we would make a bed without the patient getting out of it and help the patient go to the bathroom. You had exactly thirty minutes to do everything and you had to be very precise. If you went over, you had to retake it. The written exam covered patient safety and what to do in specific situations.” At 16, Gelskey was the youngest CNA ever hired at Blaine Manor. She started last June and worked there for a couple of months. For her senior project she shadowed a police officer and learned self-defense. “I considered doing something in medicine, but by the time you are cleared to work, there is not enough time to finish a project. But I loved working at Blaine Manor. I love feeling useful and could see that I was really helping people.” In the fall, Gelskey will be attending BSU and will participate in the nursing program. “I want to do something in the medical field and nursing is a gateway and I can go on from there. Nursing is something that is always needed and that’s not going to go away. It’s also ever changing and is a constant learning experience. I was really sick as a child and I got to see how the medical field works. My parents still talk about how amazing the nurses and the doctors were. I needed help as a young person, and if I can help someone else, they can go on and help others make the world a better place for everyone.” tws

t’s impossible to throw a diverse group of people together in the wild and not expect the issues of the world to come along. The idea is to leave the world behind for the duration. We will be reunited with it when we retrieve our luggage. That’s the theory. In practice, differences surface most of the time, and there’s always one troublemaker who just has to duke it out with the ‘evil one.
On a five-day rafting trip on the Middle Fork, I was stuck with six vocal conservatives in 2002, on the eve of the Iraq War. They felt safe in rural Idaho until I sat down at their table. I felt like a liberal Yankee in President Bush’s inner circle. I enjoyed sitting there. I gave as good as I got until finally they had to resort to name-calling because they ran out of bullets. I won, not because I convinced anyone, but because I neutralized their sociopolitical monopoly. In an era when liberals went into hiding and forsook their faith and reason, I stood up. On the Nepal trip in 1976, the dispute that arose came from one man who falsely targeted another. The target was Bill Janss, and he never took the bait. The rest of us couldn’t care less. Bill was like a big, amiable golden retriever who graciously tolerated a little yapping dog. The guy who came after him was Paul, a financier. They were fine as long as they talked about money, but Paul was relentless, and common ground was not what he sought. He was passionate, voluble, and

thought he had Bill Janss in his sights as the ‘evil one.’ Paul was the high priest of the coming environmental movement—the need for alternate energy development (post-OPEC oil embargo), and alternate spirituality ushered in by the Beatles, who popularized Eastern religions. What Paul was experiencing was being the lone wolf, the visionary way ahead of his time. Paul was grappling with ideas he didn’t fully understand, and society was not ready. There was no alternative energy technology that was deployable at the time, yet here he was preaching solar and wind power. He was right about global environmental degradation. Spirituality outside the major religions became an important subculture in the future. He talked a lot, but he lacked command of the subjects. He didn’t listen, lacked clarity of expression and too often appeared holier than thou. To Paul, Bill Janss was the anti-Christ, a developer, a builder, the No. 1 enemy of the ecology movement. He made Bill into an ideological piñata and never once stopped to look at the man. He stereotyped and vilified the wrong man, a man he didn’t bother to get to know. Like so many before and after him, Paul needed a scapegoat, a visible enemy, a witch to burn at the stake, Bali Szabo and the truth be damned. tws

he most overlooked and underrated small kitchen device is the pressure cooker. This green powerhouse lessens energy use and decreases cooking time for staples like beans, grains and potatoes, but can also be used for fancier menus. You eco-fiends out there might want to go even further with a solar oven. As for the rest of the inhabitants of the typical appliance garage, the best recommendation is: if you already own them, make them last. If you don’t own a specific “labor-saving” appliance, consider borrowing one for occasional use, shopping at yard sales and thrift shops, or finding a workaround. After all, cakes can be beaten by hand, bread has been made for eons without a bread machine, and most of us don’t need a nitrogen injection wine corker. To make small electrics last, keep them clean and don’t unplug by jerking on the cord, stressing the plug wiring. Glass coffee carafes can be cleaned with a baking soda scrub, or put in the dishwasher. Hand wash blender and food processor blades because automatic dishwasher detergent can dull the stainless steel edges (same for your knives). Unplug all of these gadgets when not in use, because many of them are stealthy energy vampires. If you do buy new, look for wellmade devices from companies that offer replacement parts and guarantees. Lastly, make friends with a small appliance repair guru and keep on fixin’ ’em! Let’s hear about your oldest small appliance on Facebook/ERC Sun Valley. Can you compete with my 1980 hair dryer that still works?

Sit-skier Andy Soule, who used to train in Sun Valley, took fourth in the men’s 7.5-km. biathlon and the 15-km. biathlon, fifth in the men’s 15-km. and 12.5-km. biathlon, ninth in the 10-kilometer and 11th in the 1-km. sprint.

ariel Hemingway touted openness as a way to combat mental illness while praising the healing power of nature in the mountains surrounding Sun Valley Saturday. “I really believe nature is our teacher,” said Hemingway, who grew up in Ketchum. “The answers are within these mountains. When I was depressed or scared or didn’t understand my family or didn’t know if I was going to wake up crazy, I’d ski, hike, go jump in the lakes, and I got the feeling of being alive. There is no judgment (with nature). It just loves you. This can be a place where you can really grow if you want to.” Hemingway addressed a couple hundred people Saturday morning at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum in one of three Coffee Talks presented by the Sun Valley Film Festival in conjunction with Boise State University. The talk came a year after Hemingway showed the documentary, “Running From Crazy,” which she said bared the story of “an incredibly creative, wonderful family” that was plagued by mental illness, addictions and suicides. “Showing the movie here, just to bring it home, was huge for me because a lot of it was shot here. I grew up here,” said Hemingway, who battled tears a few times during her talk. Hemingway said the movie, which will air this spring on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network, has given her the opportunity to talk about the choices she’s made to achieve a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
Mariel Hemingway said “Running from Crazy” film director Barbara Kopple found 43 hours of home movie footage, which proved to Hemingway that childhood recollections, such as her mom sitting on the kitchen counter with her feet in the sink and her family’s robin’s-egg-blueand-yellow-colored kitchen walls were not figments of her imagination.
“It was a powerful journey to understand myself and where I come from,” she said. “I was depressed most of my life and I didn’t know it. “I realized part of my reason for being on the planet was to make the connection with people who are suffering from mental illness. You wouldn’t believe how many people suffer from mental illness. We don’t give them the opportunity to be whole and complete because there’s so much stigma around it. I revealed myself in an embarrassing way but, once I told my story, I could say, ‘Now, you tell me your story.’ ” Hemingway, an actress and author of “Running with Nature,” recounted how the only time she realized she was different growing up was when tourists came to Sun Valley and made a fuss when they heard the Hemingway name. “My father never spoke of his father—it was hard being in the shadow of the man,” she said. Her older sister Margaux went off to serve coffee as part of a public relations stunt at Evel Knievel’s jump over the Snake River Canyon. And next thing the family knew, she was on the cover of a fashion magazine. Overnight Margaux became the talk of L.A. in a whirlwind vault to fame that became the beginning of her demise as she was not prepared to handle it, Hemingway said. Hemingway said she was surprised when her older sister asked her to play her sister in the movie “Lipstick,” as they hadn’t been close. When the movie came out, Margaux was slammed by the critics in a way no one should have to be, Hemingway added. As Margaux’s career spiraled downward, she began drinking
more and doing cocaine, eventually dying of an overdose. “I came back after the film and my mom’s cancer had returned. I thought it was my fault because I hadn’t been there paying attention to her,” added Hemingway, who had taken on the role as caregiver for her mother during her illness. The movie that Barbara Kopple put together instigated healing. “Seeing the film gave me so much more compassion for my sister. I’d been judgmental. I saw me as the good girl and Margaux as the rebellious one. Now I want to turn things around for my sister Muffet, who lives in Twin Falls and struggles with mental illness. We may not get to the point she goes off medication, but I’m hoping I can benefit her.” The more people talk about their struggles with mental illness, the more it will open doors for others to share their struggles, Hemingway said. “A lot of our pain and problems come from our belief system—what we’ve been led to believe. We don’t have the ability to make choices in our lives unless we understand why we make the choices we do. I had to pull off every aspect of myself and examine it and I continue to do that… it’s a daily process. Mental illness is a disease of being in the darkness… the idea that no one can hear you and you’re not understood. People tell me their story, and they’re so happy to be heard.” The most important thing people can do is to support local organizations like NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness), Hemingway said. “Instead of going big, go small.” tws

conTent Panel Discusses Future OF Features BY KAREN BOSSICK
W
hat does the future hold for movie theaters with more people watching films on personal devices?
That question became fodder for debate Friday afternoon as a panel of young entrepreneurs associated with the film industry held court at the nexStage Theatre as part of the Sun Valley Film Festival. Greg Whiteley, whose documentary “MITT” is all the buzz, suggested that the current business model of movie theaters is broken. “It needs to go away,” he said. Scilla Andreen, CEO of Indieflix, was a little more generous. “I love going to the movies,” she said. But, she added, there’s a new trend called “tug and gather,” which is essentially movie theater viewing on demand. Andreen also talked about how her company was developing an app to serve consumers whose tastes are shifting to shorter content. “There’s just not too much time or incentive to watch features right now,” she said. “Seventy percent of Netflix is now television programming. Short forms are more popular. We’re developing an app that will allow you to say, ‘I’ve got 12 minutes and I want to laugh. Show me something,’ or ‘I’ve got 16 minutes before the roast is done and I want to see something thought-provoking’.” Bernhard Fritsch, who founded the StarClub social media platform, said his company had just completed a study of 3 million people that determined the average attention span is 7.5 minutes. The beauty of Netflix and Indieflix is that you can make a film however long it needs
to be to be good, said Whiteley. “The structure of the old model where we tried to fit 51 minutes into a given TV hour created more mediocre fare than good,” he added. Here are some other highlights from the conTent panel: “I would like to point out that we’re sitting here as ‘Veronica Mars’ is opening on a few hundred screens around the nation at the same time it is becoming available as Video on Demand, on iTunes. But it’s been a brave new world for some time now.” —Jason Tanz, executive editor of Wired “In 2005, indieflix.com started with 36 titles. Today, we have more than 5,000 titles. That includes features, shorts and a lot of new original series.” —Scilla Andreen, CEO of Indieflix “There’s a new model for paying filmmakers: RPM— royalties per minute. We pay filmmakers for every minute that their film is watched. We take 30 percent of our gross revenues, put it into a pot and we pay royalties from that based on minutes watched.” —Scilla Andreen, CEO of Indieflix tws

Finding Hillywood STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
Emmy Award-winning director Todd Saliday and Leah Warshawski had a unique way of introducing themselves to their new neighbors this past weekend. They showed off their hourlong documentary at the Sun Valley Film Festival. The Ketchum transplants showed “Finding Hillywood” Friday night following a reception at Sotheby’s, which had aided them in finding a new home here. Warshawski, who butters her bread by making commercials for clients like Starbucks, was on her way to the airport after filming a commercial for Microsoft in 2007 when she happened to ask the local assistants what they would be doing after the commercial crew left. It was then she learned of a fledgling film industry in a country that had been torn apart by civil war and genocide. One man had started teaching filmmaker wannabes in his home. Soon, he was taking Rwanda’s first homegrown films across Hillywood—so named for the hills in that part of the country. The new filmmakers showed their movies, including a Romeo and Juliet-type film about a Hutu and Tutsi trying to forge a relationship in spite of their people’s hatred for one another. Up to 5,000 adults and children, many who’d never seen a movie before, crowded into soccer stadiums to watch five or six movies on an inflatable screen at each showing. The audiences were comprised primarily of men and boys, as
8
girls are often immersed in chores and not allowed to travel at night, said Warshawski, who began her film career working for such TV shows as “Baywatch,” “Lost” and “Survivor.” Those who did turn out did so even during the rainy season. “The idea of people standing in a stadium and watching a movie for the first time in their own language was just one of those ideas that stuck,” she said. Saliday and Warshawski spent six years making their documentary, which shows how art has been used to heal the deep wounds the country suffered. Now, the former Seattle residents are taking it on the film festival circuit. They’ve presented it at 30 film festivals, including Aruba and the Napa Valley Film Festival where it won the Audience Award for Favorite Documentary. They have another 20 to go. As it matures, Rwandan filmmakers are branching out, offering comedies and animated shorts in addition to the more serious subjects they originally addressed. Meanwhile, Saliday and Warshawski are on to a new tale concerning genocide—a film on an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor and the effect she has had on people of all walks of life. And, of course, they’re anxious to get to know their new home better. “We’re excited to live here,” said Saliday, who does commercials for corporate clients like Starbucks. “I grew up in western Montana and north Idaho and have been coming to Sun Valley for 30 years. We even got married here, so it’s a pretty special place for us.” tws

The films we make are not always the ones we intend to make. I like films that are fun and exuberant and afterwards offer something to talk about as far as where American culture is going, said producer Ron Yerxa, standing to the left of Jim Burke.

scar-nominated producers Jim Burke and Ron Yerxa headed straight for the folding chairs instead of the canvas director’s chairs when they walked out onto the stage of the nexStage Theatre Friday morning to take part in a Sun Valley Film Festival Coffee Talk.
“I always thought it was a bit of cruel irony for a producer to sit in a director’s chair,” said Yerxa, whose movie “Nebraska” was nominated for 2014 Best Picture. “You feel a false sense of being elevated, as if you had some power.” That’s especially true around a director like Alexander Payne, who directed “Nebraska” in black and white because it felt right to him. “Nebraska” took 10 years to make, in large part because Payne wanted to do it but didn’t want to do three road movies in a row. So, Burke had to bide his time. It was worth it, both Burke and Yerxa said, as Payne is one of the top, if not the top, filmmakers around. “We’re like a coach. But when you have Alexander on your team, he’s like Michael Jordan. Even though we’re telling him what to do, he has more power. The key is making sure everyone’s making the same movie, that everyone has the movie’s interests first,” said Burke, whose movies include Payne’s “The Descendants” and “Kingpin.” All the best actors on the planet want to work with Payne, Burke added. That included George Clooney, who wanted to play Thomas Haden Church in the Oscar-winning “Sideways,” but Payne turned him down. “No one’s going to believe you as a washed-up actor,” Payne
told him. A few years later, Payne offered Clooney a role in “The Descendants,” a story about a man trying to reconnect with his two daughters. The movie won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as Golden Globes for Best Picture and Best Actor for Clooney. “George Clooney always says, ‘I’ll act for free. But it’s the publicity that you’ll have to pay me for,’ ” Burke said. Yerxa, who didn’t read a script until he was 33, said good dramas are the toughest movies to do. “They’re like throwing a stink bomb in the middle of the audience,” he said. Yerxa acknowledges that he has done the types of movies “that put the audience through an ordeal to make them feel something painful as if they will be somehow better off for having gone through that ordeal.” He wants to stop making those. “My favorite movies are the ones you can’t describe. It’s hard to say what ‘Nebraska’ or ‘Sideways’ are about. You’ve just got to see them,” added Burke. Burke said he was well-acquainted with the Santa Monica library across the street from his office since there are not a lot of good screenplays out there at any one time. “I love riding planes so I can isolate myself and read,” he said. “Reading books is one of the great joys of a producer. And sometimes it’s not always the best book that you make into a movie. The process of adapting a book is like a game of Jenga. You pull sticks out and hope the structure holds up. You read with X-ray vision and ask, ‘What could I use as the structure of the film?’ ”

e’s directed and produced such films as “Cop Out,” “Chasing Amy” and “Jersey Girl.” And he made his mark as Silent Bob in the low-budget comedy “Clerks,” a black and white film about the day in the life of two convenience store clerks that became a cult classic. On Sunday Kevin Smith loomed larger than life as he took the stage of the nexStage Theatre behind his tent-like blue and orange “Fat Man” hockey shirt and delivered a Coffee Talk that seemed more like a standup comedy act. “The benefit of talking at 10 a.m. in the morning is that it’s the absolute thinnest I will be during the day,” he told an audience of 20- and 30-something year olds packed into the theater as part of the Sun Valley Film Festival. “I’m thinking I should do question and answers in the morning all the time.” Smith spun a long tale about contracting a private jet to come to Sun Valley from Burbank. He quickly got a case of the heebie-jeebies as the plane was smaller than the car he drove to the airport in. “You could reach out from your seat and tap the pilot on the shoulder and say, ‘Are we there yet?’ ” he exclaimed. But the pilot was reassuring. “I promise you the most unsafe part of your journey ended when you stepped out of that death trap,” he said, pointing to Smith’s vehicle. “I fly so much have I have plenty dreams of crashes—I get to see my own death , and it’s hard to realize that life goes on without me,” said Smith. “It’s not a death thing. It’s not having enough time to accomplish everything. For me this’ll be my favorite Q&A of all time because I f—ing lived!” Smith served up long rambling answers to questions, provoking lots of laughter from the audi-
ence. He even extended the Q&A session a half-hour until he was pushed out of the theater by a crowd waiting to see a movie. Smith said it’s becoming harder to pull from his personal life anymore because, while life is good, it’s “just not that interesting anymore.” “ ‘Clerks’ was about me trying to figure out what to do with my life,” he said. “It’s the kind of movie that you should watch and say, ‘I could make a movie, too.’ None of us in that movie knew how to make a film. I was a 23-year-old kid who had something I had to get off my chest. I had no talent whatever, no skill at all. Smith said being a keen observer of films can go a long way. “I’m a watcher more than anything else. “If you watch enough, you start to say, ‘They should have done this.’ Then you say, ‘Maybe I should do something.’ When whimsy strikes, I push it like a shopping cart right up the hill.” Money, while nice, isn’t everything, either, he said. If Steven Spielberg had less money to work with, you’d probably get an even better Stephen Spielberg movie, he ventured: “When you’ve got less money, you get more creative.” tws
raig Borten has a nice way of greeting an audience at 10 in the morning: “I hope you enjoy the movie— it’s dark to watch so early in the morning. I hope it doesn’t ruin your day,” he told a full house at the nexStage Theatre. Borten’s movie, “Dallas Buyers Club,” kicked off the third annual Sun Valley Film Festival. And, yes, the story of the crack-snortin’, woman-buckin’ Texas redneck wasn’t pretty to watch. But the tale of how the rodeo cowboy with AIDS smuggled unapproved pharmaceutical drugs into Texas when he found they improved his symptoms garnered Matthew McConaughey an Oscar for Best Actor and Jared Leto an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. And it was recognized as one of the year’s best friend’s with a nomination for Best Picture. Melisa Wallack, who wrote the screenplay with Borten, said the two spent six months researching AIDS. Then the two holed up in a room fighting over what their characters would have said. “It’s an intensive relationship. We have been to therapy before—we fight all the time,” she said. Borten said he became interested in the story because he saw similarities in his father, who had passed from cancer, and Ron Woodroof, the man who fought to get the right medications, after the two men were told they had a short time to live. The cancer industry was similar to the AIDS treatment industry, as well, because only certain types of chemo were allowed, he added. “I met Ron Woodroff in 1992—20 years before the film came out. He was a man with no formal education. But he started living his life when he started dying,” Borten said. “That’s when he became alive.” tws

he last two weeks of March are often the most productive two weeks of the year as we talk about catch rates. The fishing is what we would consider pretty darned easy. Couple that fact with weather conditions that aren’t in the cold grips of winter and you have a fishery very well suited for everyone, but especially the beginner angler. Now is the time to get out there, make your first casts and fight your first fish with the fly rod! Expect more and more midges to appear, and more and more of the little black stonefly seen scurrying about the snowy banks and river rocks. These little guys are a mouthful for the fish after months of only eating the tiny midges available to them. The little black stonefly is easily imitated with a prince nymph, zug bug, A.P. nymph and black copper johns. The dry fly for this insect isn’t very important, as most of them don’t have wings and the fish very rarely see them floating down the river. What they do see is a large subaquatic migration of this insect from the center of the river to the banks. This means fish will be found hanging out very close to the banks, much like they do during the green drake hatches of June and July. If you plan to fish the surface, then we are back to midges. The tie-down is our favorite pattern, but as the fish turn gluttonous anglers can try large Griffiths gnats, small black stimulators, black elk-hair caddis and even the leftovers from your favorite trico spinner falls last season. Silver Creek is closed until May 24th, but the Big Wood, the Little Wood and the South Fork of the Boise remain open until the end of March. The Lost River is now open year-round, so if you can wait to fish there, now is the time to get your last licks in on the rest of our open waters. Many of our fish are starting to spawn now, so please be careful as you approach the river and walk about the gravels. Avoid the redds, which are the spawning beds of the fish. They are obvious light-colored patches in the gravel that the fish have swept clean to lay eggs. This is very important, and especially on the Salmon River as steelhead season begins to kick into gear. More on that next week!
Happy Fishing Everyone!

she premiered her 40-minute documentary in the Community School Theatre as part of the Sun Valley Film Festival. “I always get nervous watching the crowd’s reaction,” she said. Kevin Lloyd, of the Bureau of Land Management, said on camera that the BLM was trying to pare the number of horses from about 320 to 185. It’s more humane to round them up and send them to other pastures than to see some starve, he added. Before the roundups, people would shoot the horses or haul them to a slaughterhouse. Fawn got some nice footage of a white horse hoofing it down the road, steam enveloping it so it nearly looked like a ghost horse.

Snowshoe And Dominos
The kids not only got a certificate of their apprenticeship as Little Pizza Makers in pizza making but a coupon for a free pizza, to boot.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
Eleven preschoolers know they always have a future as pizza makers. The students—from Jill Metcalfe’s G’Day Daycare Center in Hailey—recently spent a fastpaced 45 minutes at Domino’s Pizza where they learned to spin the crust as they used their fingers to flatten it. They learned to spread a dollop of sauce on the crust. Then they pushed the mozzarella through a machine that spread it evenly over the pizza, “so that every customer gets the same

amount of cheese.” Finally, they got to top their pizzas with their favorite toppings before chowing down. Pepperoni, in case you’re interested, was the hands-down winner, followed by black olives. “This is like my favorite place in the whole wide world,” said Mason Bucknall, spreading his arms to show how big his world was. Domino’s Sherie Taylor cautioned the kids to tiptoe around the 750-degree oven. Then she gave them a tour of the walk-in freezer which, at 37 degrees, was downright balmy compared with the single-digit temperatures chilling Hailey to the bone that particular morning. Then she and Rhonda Linderman led them through the vocabulary they would need to get the job done. “You want to come work for me?” she said after each of the kids had had a hands-on opportunity to work with the dough. “You can make pizza for me all
day.” Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve are the two busiest days of the year for pizza orders, Taylor told the kids. “We’ll get between 600 and 900 orders each of those days,” she said. “Creamed corn is really big on pizza in China,” she added, offering up another fun factoid. “Let’s see how fast she can go,” teacher Pati Meyer told the kids as Taylor put on a show spinning the dough into a crust and tossing it in the air. The kids began to clap faster and faster. Then, following Meyer’s lead, they began to sing, “She’ll be throwing all the pizzas when she comes” to the tune of “She’ll Be Coming ’Round the Mountain.” “We’d better go check our pizza, Charlotte!” Toben Galpin told a fellow classmate as the pizzas began making their way from one end of the conveyor belt through the oven to the other end. The local Domino’s owner loves to be involved with the community, including donating pizzas to causes like the Blaine County Drug Coalition for programs encouraging kids to stay off drugs, Taylor said. Taylor said Domino’s hopes to achieve a more flamboyant presence when it moves into a bigger facility. “We’ll become a pizza theater then as people will get to watch everything that goes on behind the counter,” she added. She added that online sales have become a boon: “We like online orders because we don’t have to stop what we’re doing to answer the phone. And if you’re ordering online you can track your order from the time you place it until the time the pizza goes out the door.” tws

Community Meetings: The Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ Capital Campaign and Building Plan Update
WHO: The Sun Valley Center for the Arts WHEN: Wednesday, April 2, 5:30-6:30pm and Monday, April 7, 12:30-1:30pm WHERE: The Center, Ketchum CONTACT: John Gaeddert, Board Chair, clpe2@aol.com, or Kristin Poole, Artistic Director, 208.726.9491, kpoole@sunvalleycenter.org The Sun Valley Center for the Arts will host two community meetings on April 2 and 7 to discuss the status of their capital campaign and new building plans. Both meetings will be held at the Center in Ketchum—April 2 from 5:30 to 6:30pm and April 7 from 12:30 to 1:30 pm. The Center announced last month that they would discontinue plans to build a new facility on Lot 1 of the Simplot Subdivision across from the Post Office in Ketchum. Since the capital campaign was launched in 2006, The Center has experienced significant growth in programs, merged with Company of Fools, and successfully weathered the challenges of an economic downturn. As a result, the board and staff believe it is time to initiate a fresh planning process to meet The Center’s future needs and those of the entire community. These meetings will be an opportunity for Center leadership to review the history of the building project, discuss current thinking, answer questions and hear from constituents about their hopes for a new arts facility in the valley. The Center secured $6.5 million in gifts and pledges during the first two years of the capital campaign. During that time, they purchased the property at the corner of 2nd Avenue and 4th Street, completed architectural and engineering designs for a new facility, and pursued the relevant municipal approvals. In 2012, after merger discussions with Company of Fools and the beginning of an economic recovery, The Center redesigned the building to create a more comprehensive and versatile year-round home for an expanded Center and other community presenters. The revised plan offered cost savings that would have enabled construction to begin more quickly. For the past 19 months, The Center has been negotiating with the City of Ketchum and Simplot Ketchum Properties, LLC (“Simplots”) on proposed changes. The Center has not reached an agreement with the Simplots, and the board and staff believe that further efforts are unlikely to yield results. While they hold the property on 2nd Ave as an asset and have benefitted from extensive planning and negotiating, they have determined that the best course forward is to reconsider all options for a new home and discontinue the original project. “There are two goals for these meetings: The first is to answer any questions people may have about the project that was proposed for the 2nd Avenue lot. The second is to begin to look forward. The Center’s programming and outreach have grown stronger and deeper over the past five years, making the case for a new building even more compelling, but we recognize that the community has also grown a great deal. We very much want to have a broad and open discussion about what is needed in a new arts facility. This will be the first of many opportunities for members of the community to provide input,” remarked Kristin Poole, Artistic Director. Poole as well as former Executive Director Sally Boettger and Board Chair John Gaeddert will be lead the conversation and answer questions at the April 2 and 7 community meetings.
Papoose Gives $4,500 in March, Almost $25,000 this Fiscal Year March Recipients Include YMCA Summer Camp, ERC EcoCamp, and Sun Valley Youth Hockey. At the March meeting, Papoose Club satisfied funds requests to the tune of $4,500. The Club has given out almost $25,000 since the beginning of the fiscal year (September). The Wood River Community YMCA was awarded funds to subsidize transportation for the Summer Camp. The YMCA offers themed field trips one time each week during the twelve-week program that serves up 40 kids per week and about 170 children per year. The YMCA promotes the values of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Papoose Club donated to the Environmental Resource Center EcoCamp to help with scholarships for summer day and overnight camps. The ERC’s camps serve about 72 students of which one-third of campers will need full or partial scholarships. New this year, the ERC will be collaborating on new day camps with the BCRD. Sun Valley Youth Hockey was granted monies for scholarships that will assist approximately 20 youth to participate in youth hockey; the program serves nearly 190 youth in total. The mission of the program is to teach skills that enhance the performance and enjoyment of ice hockey, while also developing lifetime skills of goal setting, commitment, self-discipline, determination, teamwork and sportsmanship.

Avoid These HomeBuying Mistakes BY ANA TORRES
H
aving No Firm Budget. It’s fairly easy to set a budget for a home purchase before you start looking around. It’s much harder to stick to it once you see a few places, especially a home you fall in love with. Many times potential buyers forget that even though they find a place that’s only $10,000 more than their maximum number, in the future circumstances can alter income streams and then that extra $50 or $100 the mortgage costs is a much bigger deal than originally thought to be. When setting your desired mortgage number, the 50/20/30 rule is that your essential expenses (mortgage, insurance, utilities, transportation and food) should not exceed 50 percent of your income. Following this rule can really help avoid future trouble. Love at First Sight. You are looking for new home. You are excited and your adrenaline is pumping. You look at your first
T H E W E E K LY S U N •
home and, wow, it’s perfect. You want it – badly. This scenario can and does happen sometimes when we are looking through those rose-colored house-buying glasses. There is a tendency to miss the small details that may not be a big deal individually but, added together, could be a game changer in the decision-making process. This is the biggest purchase most people make in their lives, so do your due diligence, look around at a few more homes and compare all those positives and negatives. And ask to see that property that you are really excited about more than once. The second time through you’ll tend to be more attentive to detail and thus have a more realistic picture of what you are purchasing. Skipping the Inspection. A house inspection is not an appraisal. An inspector is a professional who is trained to look at all those things you would never notice about a particular property. He might find that crack in the foundation or water damage
MARCH 19, 2014
where it’s not readily visible to you. It can potentially save you tens of thousands of dollars and a bad case of heartburn. The inspection is worth every penny spent. Don’t pinch your pennies in this area. Oral Agreements. In buying a home, one of the most important things you can do is get everything in writing. Oral agreements are not binding but a written agreement is. You wouldn’t be the first person to think you were getting all the appliances in the house when you looked at it only to find you need to buy them all when you move in. After you purchase your home you may not have money to spend hundreds or possibly thousands on missing items like appliances, window treatments, light fixtures or other necessary items for your home. You can’t be too nitpicky here; get everything in writing. These are a few simple tips that can ultimately, if heeded, save you money on your first or, for that matter, your next, home.
Silver Turns; Designed To Provide Easy Skiing Into Golden Age
Tom Watson helped get the Silver Turns program started.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
hey came of age during the rise of rock and roll. But, at 60 and 70 years of age now, they didn’t want to rock and roll on their skis so much. What was the prescription? An admonishment to do the twist—a twist of the feet, that is. Twisting or pivoting the feet underneath is one of the techniques involved in two-footed skiing, a technique being taught in Sun Valley’s new pilot program Silver Turns. And two-footed skiing translates to easier skiing than the hard-driving carving and other techniques they may have done all their lives. Silver Turns is designed for those in their 40s, 50s and on up who are re-entering skiing after a period of inactivity due to injury or life’s busyness. It’s also for those who simply want to find easier ways of skiing so they can continue into their 70s and 80s without so much stress on their joints. Sun Valley Ski Instructor Tom Watson was the man who pushed the new program at Sun Valley after seeing how similar programs worked at other ski resorts. Using the skeleton more and muscles less, standing taller and stacking the skeleton straighter, rounding the back to be shock absorbent, keeping hands out in a relaxed position, keeping boots in an imaginary box with skis flatter than normal—all these are part of it as students learn to use their bodies correctly. “It’s ideal for seniors who might be a little more fearful— or, perhaps, less fearless,” said Sun Valley’s SnowSports School Director Tony Parkhill. “It also provides social context, which makes it fun. We think it will have a huge appeal for locals.” Margaret Walker, one of the students, wears a knee brace and was looking for easy-going techniques that could help her enjoy outdoor winter recreation while staving off a back operation. Chip Serrell, a retired banker, wanted to learn to ski in a more relaxed posture so his muscles don’t tense up and get sore as much. Instructor Bonnie Wetmore could identify, having had two knee replacements because her knees were collapsing and she couldn’t trust them to do what they needed to do. And, just like instructors touting pizza wedges and French fries for parallel skis, she has a host of learning tricks for adults, including one called “windshield wipers.” “Malinda, you’re bent at the waist. Stand on your skis, bend your ankles. Squish the banana on top of your boots,” she tells one student. She addresses one man who skis easy groomers easily but has a tough time with steeper terrain: “The solution is to stand
more balanced. When it gets steep, you fall back and as soon as you sit back, you accelerate.” “Often, when you think you’re doing something 100 percent, you’re actually only doing it 30 percent,” she tells the entire class. “You’re trying to change the habits you’ve been so successful at for so long. You may have to think, ‘inner ski’ at the top and take two or three turns before it flows.” Jill Hitchin participated in Sun Valley’s Mountain Masters program for 12 years, skiing every day for weeks on end. But she didn’t ski as much last year because she was taking care of ill parents. “I thought I’d ease back into skiing with this—it seemed like it could be fun,” she said. “Tom Watson is a gem for coming up with this,” said Milt Adams, who was once a mechanical design engineer at the Idaho Nuclear Laboratory. “For me, skiing is entertainment, not work. Our initial class five oldsters with three instructors was enjoyable and educational. We learned some new techniques geared to oldsters, and it didn’t hurt a bit.” “I don’t care what kind of skier you are. You can always find something beneficial in classes like this,” added Serrell. tws

Film Festival Previews
I
n honor of the Sun Valley Film Festival, I’d like to announce my suggestions of new movies to be made this year combining the plot formulas of sure winners of the past. This is how Hollywood works now:
John Murcko and Cuc Ho show off one of Ho’s dishes.
There, a refugee camp designed for 4,500 refugees hosted as many as 40,000, many of whom lived in crude shelters constructed from boat timbers, flattened tin cans and palm fronds. But the camp gave Ho the opportunity to receive English instruction and other cross-cultural training. More than half of the boat people eventually settled in the United States, Ho among them. “In the refugee camps, sometimes we got very sad. Finally, they asked if we wanted to go to America. We want to go to America. They say Canada very cold,” he recalls. Ho spent three days in the Seattle airport until someone showed him how to board a plane bound for Twin Falls where his sponsor awaited him. “I was hungry. All I had was gum. But I didn’t know how to spend money for food,” he recalls. Ho was 17 when he arrived in Twin Falls in 1984. He was there just a short time when Sun Valley’s former restaurant manager Claude Guigon found a job for him washing dishes at Gretchen’s restaurant. Since, he has worked at Louie’s, Sun Valley Brewery and, of course, River Run Lodge, where he serves up cashew chicken, red curry and beef, Asian shrimp and other wok specialties with a spicy sizzle. “I love it here. Very nice people,” says Ho, who has since been joined by 10 of his family members spread across the United States from California to Washington, D.C. “He’s a character, an entertainer. He puts on a show and he cooks some pretty good food, too,” says Todd Rubenstein, Sun Valley’s mountain food and beverage director. “I’ve always loved his spirit,” adds John Murcko, Sun Valley’s executive chef. “Normally, waiters provide a buffer between the chef and diners. But Ho has to engage with the customer. He’s so much part of River Run Lodge that people ask for him when they don’t see him. He remembers how people like their dish and he entertains them by swirling spoons around through the air. He’s all about the connection to customers.”

Wood River Students help Swiftsure Ranch with Sensory Stations
Meet the Valley: Sally Boettger
S I
t’s likely safe to say that many people go through life never really stopping to think about the simple privileges most of us enjoy; hearing a comforting sound, whispering in someone’s ear, or walking with a friend. Wow-students and Swiftsure Ranch have created generosity experiences for Wood River valley students that provide a glimpse into someone’s reality who is living with disabilities.
A sensory trail is a series of trails that have stations geared toward sensory experiences like touch, sound, sight, smell and taste. Each station is carefully designed so the activity is performed while on horseback, which engages the motor planning and thought process of the rider. Over a year ago, volunteers and donations starting coming in to kick off the construction of the project.
This year the Wood River High School freshman class is incorporating the science behind sounds and vibrations into their class and designing wind chimes which will be a new feature on the trail. Back for a second year, the Sage School students are creating viewing tiles for a sight tube station where the rider views objects in the landscape through a telescope, all via horseback.
Swiftsure Ranch Therapeutic Equestrian Center provides therapeutic riding for individuals of all ages with physical, mental, cognitive disabilities and social/behavioral disorders all at no charge to the individual. One of the many interactive activities the Ranch offers to its clients is the sensory trail.
The plan is to have a total of 26 sensory stations.
Swiftsure Ranch Executive Director Cheryl Bennett says, “The funds that are received are great, but it is also wonderful to see the students realize that they can make a difference in our community by becoming engaged whether it be from volunteering an hour of their time or by giving financially.”
Last year two schools chose the Ranch for their WOW project. The Sage School students helped design and build a nautilus station and the Hemingway Elementary Fourth grade students sponsored a therapy horse.
ince moving to the Wood River Valley in 1997, I have experienced countless moments of generosity through my work with non-profits. The individuals who live and visit this community are quick to support the great organizations whose services photo credit Caroline Woodham benefit us all. I have had the pleasure of knowing a number of true altruists – people who cannot hear of a need without offering to write a check to help out. If the community only knew what these people actually do for us and the sincerity with which they do it, its residents would be extremely humbled and grateful. But the most personal stories of generosity I have experienced are more about generosity of Spirit than wealth. Whether it be having a friends forfeit their own race time to wait for me at the top of a steep climb during the Back Country Run or the 9 women who took hours away from their families on a Sunday to help me pack up my house for a move. I have been blessed with moments of generosity that bring tears to my eyes just to think about them. It still strikes me with awe. I cannot imagine living among more generous people than the ones in the Wood River Valley. In crisis and in celebration, people in this community model generosity of spirit. It’s what keeps makes me thrilled to live here, even more than our beautiful mountain setting. GET TO KNOW ‘EM • GET THEIR STATS!
