ERC Merges With Pesticide Network

DICK MOULTON’S SUN VALLEY

The goats, which have been brought in for the past couple years to nibble away the noxious weeds lining the bike path, will be back this spring.

ith people’s thoughts turning to their lawns as the snow melts, the Environmental Resource Center announced Monday that it is joining forces with the Pesticide Action Network of Blaine County to educate Wood River Valley residents about pesticides and alternatives to pesticides. “The proposal to merge came along at a great time for us,” said Molly Goodyear, who heads up the ERC. “As an organization, we identified toxins as one of our priorities. We will not only carry on the work but do more education, working with kids in the school and educating landscapers.” “Last year we recognized there’s a huge need for education on the harmful nature of pesticides and alternatives to pesticides. We saw this as an opportunity to grow on both sides,” said Kathryn Goldman, campaign director for the Pesticide Action Network. Goldman will serve as a consultant with the ERC as PAN’s work is folded into the ERC’s Green Community Initiative. The Pesticide Action Network formed in 2011 to push for alternatives to chemical pesticides used in places kids play in hopes of alleviating problems like ACHD and asthma in children. It got the City of Ketchum to use alternatives on public places like Atkinson Park. Last summer it worked with the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) on a bio-control project using insects to control knapweed. And it worked with the Blaine County Recreation District to bring in goats each summer to eat invasive noxious weeds like knapweed and loosestrife that pose a threat to watersheds and other habitat. Goodyear described how she and her husband Mike Wolter hired workers to pull noxious weeds out of their lawn when they moved into their home about nine years ago. The workers loaded up a couple truckloads, she said. Afterwards, she and her husband improved their soil. “We still have a few weeds but no noxious weeds,” she said. “When you improve your soil, you’re getting a healthier lawn, a healthier you, healthier pets, healthier water.” A free workshop on controlling weeds will be held from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Sunday, April 13, at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, a few miles south of Ketchum on Highway 75 and Gimlet Road. The garden will open at 8:30 a.m. for coffee and treats. The workshop will help attendees learn to identify noxious weeks and to learn bio-control and other practices to reduce herbicides. The building of a community insectuary will also be discussed. Information: 208.788.5516 or blainecounty.org.

Dick Moulton remembers winters when the snowfall was so high all you could see of the shack on top of the mountain was the stovepipe.

ick Moulton got a taste of movie making in 1950 when MGM made a movie titled “The Duchess of Idaho.” And he pressed it to his advantage. “As a member of Sun Valley’s ski patrol, I doubled for Van Johnson while Brynhild Grassmoen, a member of the 1948 U.S. Olympic Team, doubled for Esther Williams,” said the Sun Valley resident. “And there was one scene where I helped Brynhild up, then went into an embrace. I fouled up that scene as much as I dared so we would have to have retakes. Finally, she caught on to what I was doing and said ‘No more!’ ” The film was a flop, but the moment was etched into Moulton’s memory as part of Sun Valley’s lore. Ketchum was a small Western town that hadn’t changed much since the mining days of the 1880s when the Seattle native came to race for the University of Washington in the National Intercollegiate Ski Races in 1946. Both sides of the street were lined for two blocks with gambling clubs. There was one grocery store, and Jack Lane’s mercantile stocked supplies for sheepherders. One of Moulton’s friends was friends with Ernest Hemingway so he and three teammates stayed in Hemingway’s motel room at the old Ketchum Korral. “Sun Valley was very beautiful at night with many outdoor lights reflecting in the

snow,” said Moulton. “I had never seen such a beautiful resort.” Good equipment was hard to come by in those days. Moulton came with a pair of Canadian boots he’d bought in Vancouver, B.C., and very stiff, heavy surplus skis from the 10th Mountain Division designed to support a trooper carrying a heavy pack. Wally Burr, a local woodcraftsman and father of 1952 Olympic racer Janette Burr, planed them to make them lighter and more flexible. But, when flexed, the screws that held the edges on the skis would pop out. The chairlift Moulton rode up Bald Mountain’s River Run side was the first he’d ever ridden—other ski resorts boasted only rope tows. The chair featured a foot rest and robes to keep passengers warm. It took them to a downhill race course that was too difficult for most college racers, he said. “The tough part of the race was schussing a steep run called Canyon. At the bottom of Canyon the run went into a narrow passage called The Narrows. It was not very wide and you were going at top speed when you reached it. If you were not on your line, there were large rolls and moguls on the side and you had no choice but to crash and burn. “We had so many spectacular spills, the ski patrol ran short of toboggans to handle the injured racers stacked up in The Narrows,” he added.

Dick Moulton, who was once the night manager for the Roundhouse, said he worked with filmmaker Daryl Zanuck’s son and band leader Eddy Duchin’s sons on Sun Valley’s trail crews. Photo: KAREN BOSSICK

That said, there was one place for racers to train in that day—and that was Sun Valley. Union Pacific Railroad provided nighttime jobs for potential members of the fledgling U.S. Ski Team so they could train during the day. When Gordy Butterfield crashed at top speed into a tree while training for the Diamond Sun, Moulton got his job on a coin toss. The job—as night man at the Roundhouse—was the best job in the valley, Moulton said. He took the first runs on the mountain each day, riding the chair back up with groceries destined for the restaurant. “You had to ride two chairlifts to get there. A chef, his wife and their baby lived there along with a lovesick St. Bernard named Bingo. We ate very well as the chef could order whatever he wanted from the commissary at Sun Valley. I ate a lot of filet mignon, New York cut steaks and chef salads that winter,” recalled Moulton, who earned his keep scrubbing the floor at night and chopping and bringing in firewood for the next day.

an McFeron is back at the Sun Valley Brewery. The Seattle musician will perform at 7 p.m. Sunday in a free concert in support of his album, “Time Will Take You,” which was recorded last year in Nashville and produced by Doug Lancio, who received a Grammy nomination for his work with Patty Griffin. McFeron, who shifts between alternative country, acoustic rock, and blues, will be joined on stage by longtime friend and musical accompanist Alisa Milner on fiddle, cello, and harmony vocals. The album maintains stout-hearted positivity while exploring themes of troubled times, hard traveling, and a

thin pocketbook. It will strike a chord with fans of John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Jackson Browne. “Soaked in California sunshine one minute, then deep in the dustbowl the next, it’s like a greatest hits of everyone you like,” said Rudie Humphrey of “Americana UK.” Just a month ago—in March— McFeron released a 10-track acoustic album titled “Acoustic” recorded in just two days at Studio Litho in Seattle, with the help of recording engineer and producer Chad Brown of Nashville, Tenn. The album features previously released songs as well as four unrecorded songs presented in a stripped-down acoustic format with accompaniment from fiddler, cellist, and harmony vocalist Alisa Milner. tws

Blaine County One Of The Five Healthiest In Idaho, According To New Rankings

ccording to the fifth annual County Health Rankings released today by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, the five healthiest counties in Idaho (starting with most healthy) are Madison County, followed by Latah, Valley, Blaine, and Franklin. The five counties in the poorest health (starting with the least healthy) are Bear Lake, Shoshone, Benewah, Lemhi, and Boise. The County Health Rankings rank the overall health of nearly every county in all 50 states. The Rankings allow counties to see how well they are doing on 29 factors that influence health, including smoking, high school graduation rates, employment, physical inactivity, and access to healthy foods. This year’s Rankings also feature several new measures, including housing, transportation, and access to mental health providers. “The study shows that much of what influences our health

happens outside of the doctor’s office,” says Rene LeBlanc, South Central Public Health District director. “We must find ways to create policies, programs, and social structures that promote healthy living across all of Idaho, especially for those members of our communities who have the fewest resources and options.” Nationally, this year’s Rankings show that people living in the least healthy counties are twice as likely to have shorter lives as people living in the healthiest counties. Unhealthy counties also have twice as many children living in poverty and twice as many teen births as the healthiest counties. The Rankings, available at www.countyhealthrankings. org, includes a snapshot of each county in Idaho with a color-coded map comparing each county’s overall health ranking.

ogan Johnston, a senior at The Sage School carrying a 3.6 grade point average, has a need for speed. To that end he accomplishes this on a skateboard. But rather than hitting the park, Johnston hits the hills in a sport called longboarding. “It’s a little bit insane,” Johnston said. “Basically, you go straight down a hill and go as fast as you can. I’ve been doing it for five years now and we use a 36-inch board as opposed to the normal 30-inch board that you see at the skatepark.” His dad and a good friend introduced him to the sport. “Basically, it’s all about the speed and the adrenaline rush. There is also the freedom of the road and I guess the fact that it’s pretty dangerous. Everyone has a longboard, but very few actually do it. They basically cruise around town or the board collects dust.” Johnston’s favorite locations to skate downhill are from Galena Summit and at the new White Clouds golf course in Sun Valley. At Galena, a run might last 14 minutes, with speeds up to 40 miles an hour, and at the White Clouds, a minute, with speeds up to 35 miles an hour. “Other than a helmet and gloves, you’ve got to have a lot of confidence. I’ve ripped up my shoulder and really hurt my hip. You also get road rash where a section of skin is ripped off. It’s not for everyone.” This is Johnston’s second year at The Sage School after attending Wood River High School. “I really wanted new adventures, smaller classes and to meet new people. It was a great choice, and the reason I think that I got into all the colleges that I applied to. They just challenge me more there than at the high school. The classes are normal, but there are just more in-depth projects. They don’t let me slide

through the cracks.” There are three seniors at the school and the 10th, 11th and 12th grades all work together. In that group there are 25 students. This year the school focused on the theme of food – where it comes from, how it is processed and our connection to it. “The first trimester we all chose one food

It’s not for everyone.” to study and I picked cranberries. The second trimester we studied how it is advertised, and this trimester we’re studying the industrial aspects of food. I’ve really learned where food comes from and I find myself thinking about it a lot more. Before, it was just something that we ate, but now I think a lot about where it comes from and how it is processed. What I also really love about The Sage School is that we have three teachers and they are all young. They are so into what they are doing and they are glad to be at their jobs. They really want you to succeed and they are not just working for the money. They are the kind of people you would want to hang out withafter school.” tws

received several favorable responses to last week’s article about women being treated as idiots. One great e-mail forward was from the website Bored Panda—‘23 ads that would be banned today.’ The ads were from AMC’s Mad Men era of the ’50s and ‘60s, and the majority had one theme – that women have their natural roles and place, and if they don’t know it, make them know it. Repeatedly, women were shown in the prone position. These social attitudes permeated the power structure of our society at the time. Is this all ancient history? I wish. These and other prejudices are echoed every day by politicians who make outrageous statements about female health and biology – subjects they know nothing about, but then that has never stopped them. An ad in USA Today for the Wolf of Wall Street on Blu-ray shows a prone hottie, and a predatory Matt Damon eyeing his prize. A case before the Supreme Court (Hobby Lobby) asks the court to allow counter clerks, cashiers and business owners to discriminate against anyone who offends their religious beliefs, namely gays and women buying contraceptive drugs or devices. Then there is Facebook’s Sheryl

Sandberg’s campaign called Ban Bossy. Her point is that women who stand up are told to stand down. Bossy women are seen as unfit for public office. The same quality in men is called leadership. No one likes women who speak up for themselves. The ‘good girl’ is quiet and subservient. We still girls to be sweet and compliant. This is a regressive view to what ‘women should be,’ a loud theme of the ’50s. The Internet is full of nostalgia for the period 1945 to 1964, when men were men and women knew their place. Men had their testosterone, women their estrogen. Women were seen as flawed in nature, held hostage by their raging hormones, which required medical intervention. Men were forgiven for their hormonal trespasses, and women condemned for them. Life was good. Then endocrinologists discovered that both sexes had both hormones. Evidence was mounting that the synthetic estrogen DES was a carcinogen. Doctors continued to write millions of prescriptions. The industry was advised not to disclose risk data, or to use warning labels in order to avoid malpractice suits. The government worried about the economic impact on drug companies if women stopped using DES. Further, it was felt that women’s natural roles were sexual avail-

ability and reproductive potential, and in theory DES helped to achieve that. The FDA continued to insist that DES had been thoroughly tested (it hadn’t been) and it was safe. If women got cancer, it was because of their genetic predisposition, and had nothing to do with DES, which was derived from two carcinogens, coal tar and phenyls. DES was seen as good for America because it helped to produce big, strong babies. No less an authority than J. Edgar Hoover said that women belonged not in the workplace but in the home, making babies—in the bedroom, not the boardroom. When a pregnant woman taking DES complained about pain and then suffered a torn uterus, the lead doctor on an FDA drug application stated that she hurt herself ‘shopping too much.’ The FDA accepted that data point and allowed DES to be prescribed for pregnant women. tws

hil Rainey did not realize that, 29 years ago, when he was trained by the Navy in hyperbaric operations, it would become his job; that is, to help people find relief from pain, assist with wound care and orthopedic injuries, or assist patients dealing with other diseases. When his wife at the time was diagnosed with a bone disease and no one seemed to know how to help her, Rainey started to do his own research on what he learned from the Navy about hyperbarics. He discovered that there were amazing results associated with hyperbarics. Now to find a facility. At the time there were only two facilities in Idaho—one in Pocatello and one in Idaho Falls. Hospital facilities can only treat 16 medical conditions that are covered by Medicare but a freestanding facility can treat anything. Hyperbarics of Sun Valley was soon formed. Higher Ground Sun Valley and Dr. Nancy Parry helped to support Phil and his new business endeavor. Diabetic wounds, where you can see the bone, have a 90 percent success rate in recovery from hyperbaric sessions. Thermal burns, radiation, brown recluse spider bites and patients affected by stroke have all seen successful treatment results from hyperbarics. Hyperbarics is a super-dose of oxygen straight to the tissue 10-15

times the normal rate. The oxygen dissolves into plasma as it triggers stem-cell mobilization. This is, overall, non-invasive and safe for the body. It kills anaerobic bacteria; i.e., things like Lyme disease and certain staph infections. The increase of oxygen heightens a person’s immune system and helps the body shut down the inflammatory process, allowing the body to heal 50 percent faster, on average. The research and information that is consistently coming out about hyperbarics is very exciting! Phil Rainey does 60–90-minute dives, depending on what he is treating. The chambers are like a tube that you can see out of and even watch a movie while you are descending. Higher Ground is working with Hyperbarics of Sun Valley by assisting with the installation of a new chamber that can treat up to five people at a time. You can comfortably play cards with a group of people as you are being treated. Schedule a consultation with Phil Rainey to find out more about this amazing technology. Hyperbarics of Sun Valley, located at 21 Comet Lane (near The Sage School, on Aviation Drive in Hailey), will be having an open house on Thursday, April 3rd from 5-7 p.m., with light refreshments from the Power House.

Earth Day Energy Savers Tough As Nails, Best

Fall? It’s The Vamps Season Ending Party

BY KAREN BOSSICK

ots of us carry reusable bags and our own water bottles in support of the environment. But there are lots of other little things people can do as we approach the 44th annual celebration of Earth Day on April 22. In her book “Fools Return,” green technology advocate Lynda Chervil offers suggestions about devices she says would make a nice gift for Mother Earth on her day. Here are two of them you might not know about: HybridLight Solar Flashlight: These flashlights, which can found for less than $20, never need batteries, can be charged from any light source, and they always work. The 120-lumens model will burn for eight hours

on one charge. HybridLight’s flashlights are so reliable the Boy Scouts’ Utah National Parks Council endorses them and they come with a lifetime guarantee. For every 10 hours of use, 100 HybridLight flashlights avert 60 pounds of toxic battery landfill waste. Bedol Water Alarm Clock: This water-powered alarm clock starts at $19 and runs strictly on tap water. The energy comes from a natural reaction between the water and two metal plates. The smallest clocks in the line run for six to 12 weeks before the display begins to fade, indicating that the water needs to be changed. Occasionally, you also need to clean the metal plates with vinegar. Just in time for Earth Day, Bedol is launching its 12-by-15-inch wall-mount water clock! tws

he Vamps, considered the premiere women’s Nordic program in the country, celebrated the end of the ski season Monday night at Starbucks. The women in Muffy’s Program started with more than 200 participants—a record number despite Muffy Ritz’s best efforts to keep it small. But many dropped out as poor snow conditions kept the Sun Valley Nordic Center from opening for weeks on end. (Where are those snow guns when you need them?) Trying to be creative, the coaches took the women up the slopes of Dollar Mountain before it opened to alpine skiers. Classic skiers never were able to get much of a groove going, however, as the Nordic Center had trouble setting tracks. Despite that, many women said they learned more this year than ever before. Given the international theme, Ann Scales turned out in an Argentinean gaucho outfit and Anne Jeffrey and Jan Wygle in Russian dresses.

It was an evening full of awards—many of them memorialized on ceramic plates crafted by Coach EJ Harpham, who tried to induce snow by getting a knee replacement early in the season. New this year: Several “Tough as Nails” awards presented by Joney Otteson that consisted of foot-long spikes hung around the necks of women who persevered in tough skiing conditions… with a little help from chocolate peanut malt balls, rum and Coke and a few other things. Ritz herself was honored for the best fall of the year. She ended up flat on her back at the starting line of the opening season at the West Yellowstone Rendezvous race. Ritz was looking back exhorting her troops when the starting cannon went off and—Whoops! For her trouble, Kelly Martin, Glo Kimball and Lucy Bourret presented her with a coat rack they’d made out of cross country skis they found at the Gold Mine thrift store. And the entire group of Vamps presented her with a Canon camera to replace one she lost. It has a whopping bunch of megapixels—all the more for Ritz to capture her Vamps schussing down the tracks.

Manon Gaudreau often sprouts lentil seeds, eating them raw in salads. Sprouted lentils contain more vitamins, she said.

Manon Gaudreau put 1 3/4 cups dried beans in a measuring cup filled with water into her oven to soak overnight. She removed four cups.

SERVES 8 Ingredients: 5 C. peeled, cubed sweet potatoes 1 1/2 tsp. salt 2 tsp. oil 3 1/2 C. diced onions 4 large cloves of garlic, minced 4 tsp. ground cumin 4 tsp. ground coriander 2 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. cayenne 4 1/2 C. cooked black beans 2/3 C. cilantro leaves 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice 8 flour tortillas Directions: In a saucepan, put sweet potatoes, 1/2 tsp. salt and just enough water to cover. Cover, bring to boil and simmer until tender. Drain and set aside.

a major part of the diets of all cultures, from Mexicans with their refried beans to Italians, who put beans in their minestrone soup and use them in salads and spreads. Just as a precaution, Gaudreau always adds an eighth teaspoon of asafoetida—an aromatic resinous gum collected from certain species of fennel and ground into a powder—to her bean dishes as they cook to reduce the incidence of gas. Onion, garlic, sage, rosemary, bay leaf and other herbs such as anise seeds, coriander seeds and cumin can also help digestibility. And so does eating pickles with beans, Gaudreau said.

These beans are slow cooked 3.5 hours in the oven, or 8 hours in a slow-cooker. Translated and adapted from http://www.recettes.qc.ca/recette/feves-au-lardblanches-198224. SERVES 10-12

Heat oil in a large saucepan; add onions, garlic and spices and sauté until onions are tender.

Ingredients:

In food processor, combine beans, sweet potatoes and remaining 1 tsp. salt; puree until smooth. Transfer mixture into a large bowl; mix with onions, lemon juice and cilantro.

4 C. dry white beans (about 2 lbs.) Several quarts of water for soaking and cooking 1 onion, sliced 1 or 2 apples, diced (optional), mixed in with the beans 1/2 lb. bacon or salt pork, diced 1 Tbsp. dry mustard powder 2 bay leaves 24 peppercorns, crushed Sea salt

Scoop filling into each tortilla. Roll it up and place, seem-side down, in an oiled baking dish. Cover tightly and bake for 30 minutes at 350° F. Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream and salad.

Directions: Soak beans in water 12 to 24 hours. Drain and rinse. Preheat oven to 350º F. Traditionally, beans were baked in a clay “bean pot” tapering to a small opening, fitted with a lid. Use a large heavy ceramic, glassware or iron pot, or a slow-cooker. Put half the onion and half the bacon in the pot. Add half of the soaked beans and mustard. Add the second half of the onion and bacon. Add pepper and 1 bay leaf. Add the second half of the beans. Finally, add the other bay leaf, the second half of the mustard, and generously season with salt. Add enough water to cover the beans by 1/2 inch (a bit more if cooking in the oven and the lid is not tight fitting). Cover with the lid. Cook in the oven at 350º F. for 30 minutes, reduce heat to 300º F. and continue cooking another 3 hours; OR cook at 250º F. for 8 hours; OR cook in a slow-cooker on the low setting for 8 hours. Note that the MM Heath small white beans are more tender and will cook faster than older and bigger beans. In the last hour of oven cooking, check for doneness and water level, adding ¼ C. of hot water if the top beans are too dry. But you do want to end up with a layer of dry beans on top. Do not overcook unless you want a puree of beans. Manon Gaudreau uses a heavy glass cookware so she can watch her beans cook and remove foam as needed. Heavy cookware also retains the heat better.

Manon Gaudreau uses an eighth teaspoon of asafoetida for every four cups of reconstituted beans or every two cups of dried beans.

Serve beans, topped with apple cider vinegar or ketchup, with eggs and [toasted] bread.

Farm Biosecurity

ntil a recent viral outbreak amongst swine, I never would have correlated the words farming and biosecurity with one another. After researching farm biosecurity I have come to realize what an essential management practice it is in maintaining a healthy herd, limiting the spread of infectious diseases, and ensuring a safe food supply. Biosecurity is effective management practices that include testing and screening for diseases, isolation or quarantine of new animals or infected animals, immunization, monitoring and herd evaluation, regulating the movement of people, animals, and equipment, and procedures for cleaning and disinfecting facilities. As a consumer, food safety is of great concern. I rely on the producer to do his or her part to ensure the food supply is safe. The responsibility of implantation of biosecurity falls on the producer or herd owner.

There are three stages of biosecurity that a producer or herd owner should be aware of: risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication. Risk assessment identifies potential concerns or problems and evaluating who and what leaves or comes onto the farm. Risk management entails implementing a biosecurity plan based on the findings from the risk assessment stage. Lastly, risk communication is ensuring complete adoption of a biosecurity program. Biosecurity is very important to the entire agricultural industry, from the producer to the consumer. A good biosecurity program is a priority and must address several issues. It should be reviewed regularly and changes made as new knowledge is acquired. Biosecurity can be simple and effective at the same time. tws

From filet mignon to ski bum soup

so much snow that Bennett closed the Bowls to skiers. Responding to guests’ complaints, Ski School Supervisor Sigi Engl scouted the bowls then allowed a few classes to ski them, provided they stayed on the ridges. No sooner were they reopened than an avalanche roared down Lookout Bowl to the lift shack at the bottom of Cold Springs run, burying Sun Valley Ski Instructor Victor Gottschalk and two students who had just skied to the bottom of Broadway. Moulton sent his class down the mountain, grabbed a shovel and started up the Broadway run where he found four skiers who had been part of Gottschalk’s class. He told the students to take their skis off and walk down the avalanche to the Cold Springs lift where they could evacuate to the Roundhouse. Then he, fellow instructors, ski patrol and skiers began digging trenches across the 8-foot-wide avalanche, all the while wondering if another avalanche could unleash. “The avalanche was deep—it probably traveled at least a hundred miles an hour. It didn’t follow the turns that Broadway run made but went up and over the ridges, it was going so fast. About 90 minutes after we

One of Sun Valley’s most colorful skiers arrived that winter in an old Buick sedan pulling a small teardrop-shaped, hand-built trailer that was 6 feet wide, 10 feet long and 4 feet tall. Warren Miller and Ward Baker parked their trailer, which had no heat, in the parking lot near the Challenger Inn. The two had just room enough in their trailer to roll out their sleeping bags on an air mattress. Warren supplemented his income from selling cartoons advertising events for Sun Valley and ski cartoons on postcards, by rabbit hunting. He cleaned his kill in the restroom in the Challenger Inn until management put up a sign requesting guests not clean their game there. He cooked it in the parking lot. Others got by on ski bum soup—a concoction of hot water and ketchup topped with free oyster crackers, Moulton recalled. “When I first arrived in Sun Valley, I had only a few dollars in my pocket. But Ketchum had many gambling casinos up and down Main Street, including The Sawtooth Club, which was owned by Owen Simpson. His son Jackie was a fine skier who donned a blond wig and doubled for Sonja Henie in the film ‘Sun Valley Serenade.’ He also ran one of the blackjack tables. One evening after I arrived I placed a bet with some of my last dollars at his table and walked away with a few dollars in my pocket,” recalled Moulton. “Whenever I needed a few dollars—beer was 10 cents a mug then—I would Moulton was also there play at his table and I alwhen the FBI descended ways won a small amount. on Sun Valley the day Many years later I was after Pearl Harbor, taking talking with Boots Blatt, several Austrian and Gerwho was on the 1948 man instructors to a Salt Olympic team.

Moulton was there when ski instructor Hans Hauser took up with Virginia Hill, girlfriend of Mafia man Bugsy Siegel, who had been found murdered in her house in Hollywood a few weeks before she came to Sun Valley. Virginia took a room in the lodge where it was rumored she received a shoebox-size package regularly filled with $100 bills. She did give out $100 tips, Moulton said, recalling that his roommate Andy Brocolli received one. “It was also rumored that she had info regarding the mafia locked away in several safety deposit boxes to be opened if she had an untimely death,” Moulton said. “One morning the ski instructors and ski patrol were packing Ruud Mountain for a slalom race when I overheard Sigi Engl telling Hans, ‘You’re going to get a bullet through your head.’ “Hans replied, ‘Sigi, I know what I’m doing. Nothing is going to happen to me.’ Not too long after, Hans took off with Virginia for ski resorts in Colorado and Portillo, Chile.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HARDWARE UNVEILS NEW KETCHUM SHOWROOM

AMAZING Known for manufacturing fine solid bronze architectural hardware, locally owned Rocky Mountain Hardware is pleased to debut its new showroom on Main Street in Ketchum. Located at 180 N. Main St., this 1880’s building has been completely renovated to highlight the company’s complete offering, including door hardware, accessories, sinks, faucets, lighting and more. “When this historic space became available, I immediately knew that we had to act quickly,” recalls Patsy Nickum, co-founder of Rocky Mountain Hardware. “This is one of three brick buildings on Main Street built by the same developer. The other two have already been beautifully restored; I knew this space, too, deserved to be properly preserved to honor our hometown’s heritage.” And the company did just that. Working with local builder Nate Scales, Nickum had the space completely gutted to the bare bones, fully exposing three-brick-thick walls and wood-beam ceilings. The vision was to keep the space clean and simple using steel and glass railings and rough oak floors to create a loft-like feeling that is inviting and inspiring. “This new space really puts Rocky Mountain Hardware at the forefront in our home community, which is something we are very excited about,” said Christian Nickum, president of Rocky Mountain Hardware. “We have had a showroom in the light industrial district for years, but we felt it was a good time to move to a prominent location to showcase our product the way we want it to be seen.” Created to serve designers, architects and builders, as well as the general design-minded public, this new, central location is anticipated to see an increase in foot traffic to further establish Rocky Mountain Hardware within the local design community. Inside the space, displays line the walls featuring iconic Rocky Mountain Hardware favorites combined with an exclusive look at newly introduced door hardware collections and light fixtures. Local interior designers’ creations are also brought to life in vignettes that are featured throughout. The entire lower section serves as an exclusive regional Waterworks Boutique showroom. In addition, the showroom also represents a wide assortment of other manufactures’ hardware and accessories to meet every design style and budget. The showroom is open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on weekdays, as well as by appointment on Saturdays. Visit www. rmhshowrooms.com for more information. 208.726.2345

Revived BAH Jumps Off To Good Start

Jon Duval told attendees that the Ketchum Innovation Center is designed to be of service to business people, even if they’re not tenants of the new center.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

he BAH is back—in Ketchum, that is. Business After Hours networking was shelved when the Sun Valley/Ketchum Chamber of Commerce was disbanded about three years ago. But the monthly event was revived in a slightly different fashion last Wednesday. About 50 Ketchum business people (who knew there were that many people left in town during spring break?) crowded into Frenchman’s Gulch Winery. Each boasted a name tag in case they’d forgotten one another’s names since the last BAH. For their trouble, they got to nibble on potstickers and taquitos. They got to peruse oil abstracts and horse portraits created by local artist David Rau. They got to sample award-winning Frenchman’s Gulch wines

and meet Charles Smasne, the winery’s new winemaker who was formerly involved in the wine business in Eastern Washington. They got to sample Sun Valley Mustard’s new pretzel chips, which owner Joshua Wells said he began making since he couldn’t find any others on the market he liked. They got to hear an update from Harry Griffith, whose Sun Valley Economic Development (formerly Sustain Blaine) is closing in on a culinary institute and a human performance lab to go with Sun Valley’s Nordic Olympic training center. Boise State University is looking for more places for its sports physiology students to practice, which is a good sign for a human performance lab here, he told the group. And they got to hear from Rich LeFaivre, who told them that Ketchum’s new Innovation Center plans to put together

BAH organizer Gary Hoffman wondered aloud whether Ketchum and Sun Valley have enough RV space for road warriors who might be persuaded to visit the Sun Valley area after spending a few days in Yellowstone National Park.

Charles Smasne, Frenchman’s Gulch Winery’s new winemaker, says all of the winery’s wines have won awards.

Josh Wells said Sun Valley Mustard, which is made in small, handcrafted batches, has won multiple national awards.

BLAINE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNOUNCES A VACANCY ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN TRUSTEE ZONE NO. 4

General Description of Trustee Zone 4 Boundary: Zone 4 includes areas west of Highway 75 and generally north of Empty Saddle Trail (Hailey) to the Custer County Line. Also includes west of Buttercup Road (north of Northridge Subdivision), Trail Creek in Ketchum, Bigwood Golf Course and most Ketchum addresses. Please direct specific questions regarding Trustee Zone 4 addresses to the Board Clerk.

a speaker series that will be of particular interest to small business owners. “They can advise young people and say ‘This is what it was like for me when I was starting off,’ ” he said. Gary Hoffman, a retired pediatrician who revived the BAH, even found time to pose a rhetorical question: “Given that Jackson [Wyo.] gets 2.5 million summer visitors and that they’re only a four-hour drive from us, what are we doing to encourage a portion of those people to come visit us before or after visiting Yellowstone and the Tetons? They could visit Arco—the world’s first atomic-powered town, Craters of the Moon and Silver Creek before they get to us, with Ernest Hemingway’s house and the world’s first chairlift. Getting just 10 percent of Jackson visitors would double our summer tourism,” Hoffman said, noting that Sun Valley gets about 360,000 visitors over an entire year. Prior to the formation of the Sun Valley Marketing Alliance, the BAH was a welcome adjunct to the business and social aspects of the two towns, said Hoffman. Monthly meetings at local venues allowed new businesses to introduce themselves to the community and they encouraged networking, communication and support among existing businesses.

Under the new format, there will be a $5 admittance fee to cover the expense of snacks, soft drinks and coffee. “If people want liquor, they can bring their own. We implemented a $5 charge, which is little more than the cost of a cappuccino. That’s to cover expenses and not put any one business to disadvantage,” he said. New businesses will be given the opportunity to introduce themselves and old businesses will be given the opportunity to talk about new ventures. Hoffman said there will be no raffles or door prizes, however, adding that they detract from the mission of business people getting together for the purpose of networking. Hoffman said he has been thinking about the need to revive the BAH for quite a while, hoping someone else would do it. “But the funny thing is that so often that someone else doesn’t come forward and that someone else ends up being you,” he said. “The spirited networking among the 60-plus attendees was proof of the pent-up demand for this type of business event. We’re already oversubscribed with offers to host BAH for the rest of the year!” The next BAH will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, at CavaCava Restaurant and Wine Bar. tws

The primary responsibilities of the Board of Trustees are to hire and supervise the superintendent and to set school board policy. All Trustees are volunteers. Anyone interested in this vacancy should contact: Laurie Kaufman or Karen Hoffman, Blaine County School District #61, 118 West Bullion Street, Hailey, ID 83333, (208) 578-5000, lkaufman@blaineschools.org or khoffman@blaineschools.org.

Baseball Begins Again BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

n the early days, all I wanted to do is to play baseball. I slept with my glove every night and dreamed of coming up with the winning hit to win the game in the final inning. In the morning, I oiled my glove, put a baseball in it and tied it tight with twine so it would develop a deep pocket that would allow me to snag long fly balls in centerfield and rob the opposing players of extra-bases hits. By 10:30 every morning of the summer, I would go out to the local ballpark, get into a pickup game with the neighborhood kids and play until the sun went down. The smell of the freshly cut fields would be like an aphrodisiac to me. The crack of the bat would send chills up my spine. I would run like the wind in the outfield and keep up a steady stream of chatter urging my teammates on or trying to rattle the opposing team’s pitcher. I was in heaven and hoped that these days would never end. In the evenings, I would do my chores, listen to a Major League game on the radio, cheer on my home team, and then go to bed early so that I could arise early and begin the same wonderful routine once again. My entire focus was on baseball, and concentrating on anything else was simply futile. Nothing else mattered to me and each day I became a little better. I knew if I stuck to it religiously, that someday I would be on a Major League team having the time of my life and making fabulous amounts of money. In my mind it was all settled, and then… my wife pulled me aside and said that she and the kids would be leaving if I didn’t stop playing and get a job and start earning some money to pay the rent and put food on the table. I really hated to see them go and I continued waving goodbye

until they disappeared down the road and over the horizon. It had been fun being married and having a family for a while, but now, it was time to get down to business. It was time to “play ball!” I lived in my 1969 Ford Econoline van the rest of the summer and my teammates would sneak food to me at night until they had to go back to school. I got a job at the local recreation center and became playground director so that I could be near the field and take showers in the sprinkler areas and be ready to play when the kids got out of school at three p.m. Then, it was baseball, baseball, baseball until the street lamps came on and everyone had to go home, eat dinner and do their homework. Boy, were they all jealous of me and my new lifestyle with all the time I had to devote to the game. I was served with divorce papers that winter and sued for child support and yet, I continued to play and develop my game. I became the best player in the county in the next few years and, despite court battles and disapproving looks from the parents of my fellow ballplayers, I achieved my dream of being the best I could be. How many other people can say they lived their dream, succeeded in their field of endeavor (except for the occasional jail time over the years) and did exactly what made them happy?

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR APR. 2 FROM PICABO ANGLER

ishing season on most area rivers is officially closed! That is not to say we are done fishing for the season. In fact there is plenty to do out there it is just a matter of planning. The Big Wood, Silver Creek and the South Fork of the Boise are all closed to fishing, but the Little Wood and Big Lost Rivers remain open all year now! Steelhead season is really beginning to ramp up. Be sure to check current Salmon River conditions before you go. If you’ve never gone before, think nymph fishing for trout, but all sight fishing. Walk the river, looking carefully at the bottom. Try to spot some fish, and then try to put a nymph right in front of them. It’s just that easy. If you see fish on bright, clean gravel, avoid these fish. They are sitting of their spawning beds and have traveled over 900 miles to procreate. Please let them. Be sure not to wade through these spots as well. The closest river, the Little Wood typically fishes fair this time of the year. Anglers can expect some tint to the water and low flows. A wading staff is a great item to have with you on the Little Wood in the desert stretch. Staffs are good to have on this river, even when the water is clear. If you go, plan on taking some smallish Streamers. Small Wolly Buggers are a great choice in black and olive. There is also a huge Salmon Fly on the Little Wood that is due to hatch soon. If you fish the deeper pools, try a Kaufman’s Stonefly or King Prince Nymph. The Lost River remains open and the Baetis (BWO) hatches have been outstanding. The noon hour seems to be the starting time for great dry fly fishing, but the morning still produces well with small nymphs that imitate the Midge or the Baetis. Remember if you go, swing by the store and let us help you fill your fly box, stomach and cooler, all in one stop! There are many other great fisheries out there this time of year for those who like to explore and especially for those who like to fish Stillwater. Places like Magic Reservoir, Carey Lake, and the Snake River all good places to wet a line and catch a fish. This is also a great time of year to sight fish for Carp on the Snake. If you are looking for a saltwater fix, this is as close as we get in Idaho! Happy Fishing Everyone!

The Sun Valley Summer Symphony turns 30 this year, but that’s no reason not to roll out a concert built around computer-animated cartoons!

BY KAREN BOSSICK

he Sun Valley Summer Symphony will introduce music lovers to a new multimedia sensory experience this summer when it stages a fulllength “Pixar in Concert” show. The 70-minute concert, which begins at a special time of 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 15, will feature music from 14 Pixar movies, including “Cars,” “Toy Story,” “Finding Nemo” and “Brave.” Audience members will be able to view excerpts from the movies on screens set up in the Pavilion and on the lawn at the same time as they hear the symphony perform a live soundtrack from the computer-animated films. “It’s really fantastic. The music is quite sophisticated. It goes so well as an evening of entertainment. To have live musicians in front brings a completely different dimension—we can’t be replicated even though some think you can,” said the symphony’s music director Alasdair Neale. That said, it’s also a difficult concert to perform. When Neale conducts something of Brahms, he knows where the tempo is

headed. The Pixar score changes speed instantaneously—Neale will have to wear an ear piece, constantly checking on a metronome going on in his head, as the music speeds up and slows down. “I have to make sure every last click is accounted for. If I’m off one click…” he said. “But, you don’t have to worry your silly little head. It’s all my problem.” The Pixar concert is part of the Sun Valley’s Summer Symphony’s attempt to be the best orchestra it can for the 21st century, said Neale. “We’re celebrating our 30th anniversary this year. And the way we’re celebrating this year is to celebrate 30 years young,” said Jennifer Teisinger, the symphony’s executive director. “Our programming is hip and young. We’re playing what you would see at the Hollywood Bowl, only you don’t have to go there to see it. You can stay right here.” The four-part In Focus Series chamber series, which precedes the orchestra concerts, will focus this year on “Made in America.” Make that “Made in America, Part 1.” “Once we started planning a survey of American music, we

realized four concerts were inadequate,” said Neale. “So we’ll have Part 2 next year.” The opening night’s performance on Monday, July 28, will include contemporary American composer John Adams’ “Hallelujah Junction,” which Adams wrote about a tiny town in the Sierras, and Aaron Kernis’ Air for Cello and Chamber Orchestra. The July 29 concert will feature Time for Three, a string trio that wowed the audience last year with selections that included “Hallelujah” and “Shenandoah.” They will appear with special guest vocalist Joshua Radin. “Everyone who saw Time for Three last year went away saying, ‘When can we get another dose of that?’ ” Neale said. “They’re back sooner than you might think!” The third concert in the series on July 31 focuses on minimalism and will include John Adams’ excerpts from “Shaker Loops” for string orchestra. It also will feature the premiere of Sun Valley Symphony Orchestra percussionist Joe Thompkins’ “4 Mbiras.” The piece will feature an African thumb piano. The series finale on Aug. 1 will focus on “The Pioneers,” or the roots of American music. It will include Aaron Copland’s Suite from “Appalachian Spring,” Charles Ives’ excerpts from “Three Places in New England” and Samuel Barber’s “Knoxville: Summer of 1915.” The Pops Night Concert on Sunday, Aug. 10, will sashay to a Latin beat. “I’m a sucker for Latin music,” Neale confessed. “I have planned a night in Havana that will feature a Cuban band Tiempo Libre that will do some numbers with the symphony and some numbers separately.” The Family Concert on Aug. 9 will feature Company of Fools’ John Glenn narrating “Mr. Smith’s Composition” and the orchestra performing Stravinsky’s Infernal Dance from “The Firebird” and Prokofiev’s Waltz from “Cinderella.” The concert was scheduled to be performed last summer but was shelved when the Beaver Creek Fire cut short the symphony season. Another concert that was shelved because of the fire—Aaron Copland’s “Symphony No. 3”—will close out the season on Aug. 19. The concert will be dedicated to the late Earl Holding. “That piece still is the Great American Symphony,” said Neale. “And it will bring us full circle to where we start with the celebration of American music.” tws

Movie Review

he Sun Valley Summer Symphony has gained a new member—a new Steinway piano named after the symphony’s frequent guest artist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, who will make his sixth appearance with the symphony this summer. Thibaudet, who selected the Steinway grand for Walt Disney Hall in Los Angeles, went to Hamburg, Germany, to select the piano that he eventually brought back to the symphony. “The one he picked is built like a thoroughbred horse. It will give us all the power we need,” said the symphony’s music director Alasdair Neale, adding that others were more suited for intimate recitals. The shopping trip was instigated by an anonymous donor who said it was time the symphony had “a really great piano.” That donor offered to put up a good sum of money, provided the symphony could raise the rest of it. The most expensive Steinway grand piano sold in 2008 for $1.2 million euro. Nine-foot Steinway grands can cost up to $180,000. In fact, investment firms tout Steinway pianos as an investment. Other donors quickly stepped forward and it became a matter of finding the best piano in the

he thing about remakes is that usually you either love them or hate them. What makes the new RoboCop a little different is that it falls somewhere in the middle. Was it really necessary? Of course, not. Does it hold up to the original? Not even close. That 1987 film

by Paul Verhoeven displayed a campiness and violence not really seen before. That turned out to be Verhoeven’s genius with other cult classics like Total Recall and Starship Troopers. It was a tone the film took, perhaps over the head of today’s youngsters, which was really special. It was political, a statement on the Reagan years, and exciting. The new one tries also to be both, but falls a little flat. The new film, with a script by Joshua Zetumer, is set in 2028 with overtones of today’s political landscape. The use of drones is a hotly debated topic on today’s news shows and robot-like limbs have become commonplace. The new film opens with Samuel L. Jackson playing a Fox-like reporter extolling the virtues of robot police

enforcement while we watch it all go terribly wrong in Tehran. Michael Keaton plays the evil and greedy CEO of OmniCorp looking to bring the technology, used worldwide, to the States. When Alex Murphy, a Detroit cop, is a victim of a bomb explosion, leaving only his brain, lungs and one arm, Keaton finds his perfect test case. The movie is directed by the Brazilian Jose Padilha, best known for his action movie Elite Squad, and the action is okay here, but nothing special. Along with Jackson and Keaton we have Gary Oldham as the reluctant scientist and newcomer Joel Kinnaman from Sweden as the cop with a heart, despite his metal exterior. Both do an admirable job in a so-so movie.

world. That’s how Thibaudet and longtime Sun Valley Summer Symphony supporters Dan and Martine Drackett found themselves touring the Steinway & Sons factory in Hamburg, Germany, in January. “Almost the entire process is made by hand. There are 12,000 parts in a Steinway assembled by 300 people over the course of a year. So it takes five floors of people in several buildings to create one of these things, and all of them are very, very serious about their work and dedicated to music and fine craftsmanship,” said Dan Drackett. The trio finished their tour in the audition room where there were six identical Steinways, each with a different personality. Thibaudet spent the next two hours skipping from one piano to the next, playing selections from Beethoven, Ravel and Chopin as he tried to determine how each piano could articulate and enunciate different kinds of music. He was particularly attuned to how they might perform in an outdoor pavilion like the Sun Valley orchestra performs in. “We heard the same chords played on several different instruments and realized that no matter how hard the workers tried to make them all exactly the same, they all end up sounding a little bit different because

you are working with humans and wood and hand tools and it’s a long process. So the pianos all end up with interesting and different personalities,” said Drackett. Any of the six pianos would have been a fabulous piano, Drackett added, but it came down to two. In the end, Thibaudet decided one didn’t have the projection for an outdoor venue— it would have been better for chamber or maybe a private home. “The one he chose is an absolutely excellent, powerful piano. It seemed to have twice the projection of some of the others in the group. Now it’s in Boise where it’s awaiting the sixth of August when Jean-Yves Thibaudet comes here to perform its premiere. And, of course, many other famous guests artists will play on it all for free,” Drackett said. The piano will be key in attracting great guest artists to perform with the symphony, Drackett said, because “90 percent of the really great guest artists request and sometimes even demand to be playing on a Hamburg Steinway. “We do not want to leave it to chance that we’re going to have a piano that has got a faulty action or hasn’t been treated properly,” he added.

ite by bite and sip by sip, we make food decisions every day that not only affect our bodies, but our local economy, the ecology of the place where the food was grown, and global commerce. One of the worst and most common consumables is conventionally grown coffee. Coffee plants naturally grow in the shade of the rainforest, but as demand for coffee skyrocketed, coffee farmers began to grow coffee in full sunlight. Rainforests were cleared for more coffee fields, wiping out bird species that had once provided insect control and pollination. These fields now favor the seed-and-grain-eating birds that have become crop pests. Coffee requires heavy applications of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers to grow in this unnatural, sunny situation. From an environmental standpoint,

APRIL 2, 2014

it is crucial that we buy only shade-grown, organic coffee with a Fair Trade designation. Fair Trade standards mean not only that the farmers have been paid a reasonable price for their crop, but that environmental standards restricting the use of agrochemicals and promoting sustainable agriculture have been applied. While coffee is the big deal, the Fair Trade movement covers a wide range of products, including sugar, olive oil, tea, bananas and chocolate. For savvy Wood River Valley residents, this call to action about conventional coffee may hold no surprises. It is still an important reminder that some foods just aren’t worth it in the big scheme of things, no matter how delicious. In honor of Earth Day, give it some thought.

ell, it’s that time of year again—the snow has melted and our old friends spotted knapweed, Scotch thistle and Dalmatian toadflax are back in town. This spring we want to let these noxious weeds know early on that they are not welcome in Blaine County. The best way to do that is to know what we’re up against by learning how to identify noxious weeds, preventive methods to discourage them from our property, best practices when using chemical control, and other methods such as bio or mechanical control. And where is the best place to learn all of this important information? At the Weed Workshop! Join the Blaine County

noxious weeds. We’ll have talks on weed identification and chemical best practices, benefits of bio-control, use of an integrated management approach to controlling weeds, and creation of a county insectuary. The event is free and takes place at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. Come at 8:30 a.m. for coffee and treats-the event starts promptly at 9 a.m. Two pesticide credits are available. We hope you will join us in spreading the word, not the seed!

Pin Down Those Allergies! BY ROSEMARY CODY

nce again we celebrate the dramatic reemergence of spring. Brighter colors push upward in our gardens. Even on our scorched hills we see emerald green. We feel lighter, move more easily without the burdens of winter. Biking and hiking trails beckon. It is a time of creation and recreation. But this season of renewal and rebirth has a price tag for some of us: runny noses, itchy eyes, sneezing, congestion and just overall suffering. Chinese medicine has treated sufferers of springtime allergies for centuries. In its highest form, this medicine is preventive rather than an attack on full-blown symptoms. Ancient Chinese doctors were only paid when the patient stayed well. Right now, before the pollens start flying, is the best time to start your treatment strategy. Your acupuncturist will personalize your treatment, looking for constitutional or deeply rooted signs. Involvement of the lung energy is usually obvious but that’s just where the symptoms show up, not necessarily the root. The liver—with its task of clearing toxins—will likely play a role. The spleen, in Chinese medical theory, can become too “damp” and create excessive phlegm. Diet is important for controlling and preventing allergies. Reduce foods that are cold, sweet and fat, which create more phlegm. Focus more on simply cooked organic fresh greens. Kale and spinach are your friends; ice cream is not. Eat lightly. Create a personal spring within. Start using a Neti pot daily. If you are not familiar with this ancient therapy, check with your local health food store. There you will find the small ceramic or plastic pot that looks like a cross between a small teapot and Aladdin’s magic lamp. This saline rinse cleanses, refreshes and protects the nasal passages. It also improves your sense of smell and taste—a perfect complement to this season of renewal. Remember to use distilled, sterilized or previously boiled and cooled water instead of tap water.

Natural Supplements Can Help You Prepare For The Invasion Of Pollens:

Quercetin: a plant-based antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substance. It eases pollen allergies by reducing the reactivity of the mast cells that release histamine during allergic reactions. It may also increase exercise stamina. My favorite formula contains bromelain, an anti-inflammatory derivative of pineapple, which increases absorption and utilization of quercetin. Probiotics: This “good bacteria” not only helps digestion, it improves your immune system and prevents congestion. Select a product from a company with a strong reputation, not the least expensive one on amazon.com. The more stable formulas do not require refrigeration.

Organic local honey: Look for Quigley Canyon or Five Bee Hives honey at NourishMe, the Wood River Sustainability Center or the Bellevue General Store. This natural elixir builds immunity to local allergens. Traditional Chinese herbal formulas: Bi Yan Pian (nose inflammation pills) and Pi Min Kan Wan (nose allergy pills) are common Chinese patent medicines used to treat symptoms of common colds and allergies. Partner with your healthcare practitioner to determine dosages and which herbs or supplements are right for you. Some do have side effects and serious interactions with certain drugs. This is the season of change and transformation—a time to move and be proactive. This spring consider a new approach to the allergy season. Begin now before pollen counts rise and allergy symptoms start annoying you. Spring clean your diet. Make an appointment with your acupuncturist. Make your Neti pot, local honey and appropriate supplements part of your daily regimen. With your internal environment in order, your external environment can become your friend instead of your foe.

ost people like to save money – especially at tax time. Reducing your tax burden can put more money in your pocket and help empower you to invest more in your financial future. Over the past decades, many federal tax incentive programs have been created to encourage families to own homes, invest in their children’s educations, and save for retirement, among others. Taking advantage of these tax credits and deductions can help you make smarter monetary decisions in the future. Lower Your Taxes Lowering your tax burden doesn’t have to be painful. There are many ways to help reduce your tax payments, including: Maximizing mortgage deductions. If you own a home, you can generally deduct all or some of your home mortgage interest on your federal income tax return, subject to mortgage debt limits and subject to itemized deduction limits tied to income levels. Itemizing healthcare expenses. If you’re self-employed, you can generally claim 100 percent of health insurance costs for you, your spouse, and dependents, provided that you itemize the deductions. If you are a salaried employee, you can generally write off outstanding medical expenses (healthcare costs not covered by your employer’s health plan) that exceed 10 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI). Setting up a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or a Health Savings Account (HSA). Some companies offer FSAs, which generally allow you to set aside $2,500 for 2013 (depending on the FSA type) in pretax funds for future out-ofpocket medical costs. If your employer offers an HSA combined with a high-deductible health plan, you can set aside pretax funds for your medical costs. If you are self-employed and set up an HSA combined with a high-deductible health plan, your contributions to the HSA are generally tax-deductible. Inventorying business deductions. If you own a business, you can take advantage of the depreciation deductions for property and equipment allowed in Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code. You can deduct depreciable business property, business equipment, and vehicles as an expense within yearly cost limitations. Deducting educational expenses. If you or a family member is enrolled in college courses, the tuition and books may be deductible, up to $4,000 per calendar year, depending on your circumstances. Increasing your 401(k) or IRA contributions. Any pretax money you add to your 401(k) or traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) may lower your annual taxable income. In 2013, you can contribute (as a payroll deduction at work, or a set-aside, if self-employed) up to $17,500 to a 401(k) plan and an additional $5,500 if you are over age 50. If you are eligible to make traditional IRA contributions, you may contribute, in 2013, up to $5,500 to a traditional IRA and an additional $1,000 if you are over age 50. Selling losing investments. Net losses to underperforming investments (after penalties) can generally be deducted, up to $3,000. Deducting alimony. Alimony payments are generally tax-deductible. Itemizing your donations. Giving to charitable organizations can generally be written off if you itemize your donations. Be sure to keep receipts that include the name of the charity, the date of the contribution, and the amount. Note: You can’t take the standard deductions on your federal tax form if you itemize deductions. There are also limits on your ability to take itemized deductions in 2013 based on your income levels. Take Tax Credits Where You Can Tax credits let you reduce your annual taxes. Some common tax

credits are: Child Tax Credit. You can receive a federal tax credit (up to $1,000) for each child under age 17, subject to income levels. Child and Dependent Care Credit. You may be able to write off some of your child care expenses for your children age 12 or younger as long as the care was provided to allow you or your spouse to work or look for work, subject to dollar and earned income limitations. Earned Income Credit. Lowto moderate-income individuals or families supporting young children are generally eligible. Credit for the Elderly or Disabled. You can qualify for this tax credit if you are age 65 or older, or retired on disability, and permanently and totally disabled at retirement. Saver’s Credit. You can generally receive a tax credit (up to $1,000, if filing single, or $2,000, if filing jointly) for contributing to an IRA or 401(k) if you’re single and earn up to $29,500, or if you’re married filing jointly and earn up to $59,000. Education Saving Accounts. A Section 529 plan or Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) allows you to invest in your child’s future education expenditures. A 529 plan lets you create a savings account to prepay your child’s college tuition. There is no age limit on 529 plans, and you can contribute up to the applicable state 529 plan limit. A Coverdell ESA generally allows you to invest $2,000 per child, per year (until the child’s 18th birthday), to pay for college tuition, books, supplies, and other qualified education expenses, as well as qualified elementary and secondary education expenses. Funds from 529 plans and Coverdell ESAs can be withdrawn free of federal income tax as long as the money is spent for qualified withdrawal purposes, but there is a 10 percent penalty

for unqualified withdrawals. American Opportunity Tax Credit. This tax credit is available to households earning $80,000 or less ($160,000 or less if filing jointly) and gradually phased out as income exceeds these limits. You can take a credit of up to $2,500 a year for college expenses, including tuition, fees, course-related books, and supplies. Lifetime Learning Credit. A 20 percent educational tax credit is available for the first $10,000 (up to $2,000 annually) spent on qualified tuition and related expenses for students in the taxpayer’s family. The credit is phased out based on a taxpayer’s gross income. You can’t claim this credit if you are already claiming the American Opportunity Tax Credit for the same individual. Residential Energy Property Credit. For 2013, this tax credit (up to $500) generally applies to expenses incurred for the purchase of high-efficiency heating, cooling, and water-heating equipment, or for making your existing home more energy efficient. If you’ve already claimed this credit in any previous year, you are ineligible to claim it again. The information in this article was obtained from various sources.

Idaho Gives Day May 1, 2014

here are constant opportunities for generosity in all of our lives whether through friends, family, or our community. While we don’t often need a reminder to lend a helping hand, there are some unique generosity opportunities in Idaho that may peak your interest and perhaps your participation.

Meet the Valley:

Idaho Gives Day is held annually on May 1. Started in 2013, sponsors have come together to create an opportunity for citizens to connect with nonprofits from all over the state of Idaho creating a day of solidarity around philanthropy. The entire platform is online and runs for a full 24 hours.

Dan Turner

In 2013, Idaho Gives Day raised $578,735 in donations from 6,192 citizens giving to 541 nonprofits. To add to the intrigue, the sponsors, including Idaho Central Credit Union, Pacific Source Health Plans, and Idaho National Laboratory, offer cash prizes throughout the day in the form of additional donations to the participating nonprofits. Similarly, a growing award pool of over $35,000 will be distributed to nonprofits with the largest number of unique donors in three categories- small, medium and large nonprofit. Nonprofit organizations can track donations in real-time, as well as access donor name and

contact information, unless the donation was made anonymously. As a donor, you can search for the participating nonprofits by name, keyword or location to connect with a cause close to your own heart. Similarly, you can pre-schedule donations. Nonprofit organizations must register with the Idaho Nonprofit Center for inclusion in the 2014 Idaho Gives Day, even if they participated in 2013. Registration can be completed online at: http://www.idahononprofits.org/idaho-gives.

The State of Idaho and our community rely on strength in participation to make an impact. Idaho Gives Day is the perfect opportunity to rally together around the overriding cause of generosity. In the Wood River Valley there are some fun things planned around Idaho Gives Day on May 1st- stay tuned for more information! To find out more about how to participate in Idaho Gives Day either as a donor or a nonprofit, please visit: www.idahogives.org.

“What does it mean to charitable?”

wo and a half years ago, I got a call from my college roommate (Cal ’79). He had recently recovered from throat cancer, was divorced and living with the family of a childhood friend. I suggested he move to the Wood River Valley for a fresh start. He arrived in time for the 2011 ski season. He joined the Mountain Masters program, made many friends and was warmly embraced by his adopted home. Last summer his life came to a sudden end when he perished in a hiking accident near Saddleback Lake. I attended his memorial in Forest Service Park and was overwhelmed at the outpouring of love, and the way our community welcomed, supported and cherished my good friend. I was deeply touched by the generosity of spirit and kindness. I contacted a number of our old college friends with the news of his passing, none of whom live here in Idaho, and asked each of them if they would help fund a scholarship at the Wood River YMCA in his name. To date, we have raised nearly $15,000 to pay for memberships for needy kids and families in our community. Inspired by the compassion shown by this town, his college friends gave generously to commemorate him. The tailwind of this generosity will provide healthy living opportunities for those who never knew him. GET TO KNOW ‘EM • GET THEIR STATS!
