Nardagani Goes Fundable BY DICK DORWORTH

ccording to the U.S. Department of Education and the National Institute of Literacy, 32 million adult Americans do not know how to read, and one in four children in America is still growing up without learning how to read. The personal, social, economic and criminal consequences of such widespread illiteracy are enormous, and Nardagani (a program that makes learning to read easy) offers a solution to its cause. Nardagani, needing help in order to continue its mission of reaching and teaching the challenged to read, has started a fundraising drive with a goal of $25,000. Narda Pitkethly, who founded Nardagani, has written in her fundraising letter, “…the link between illiteracy, crime and imprisonment is proven; 2/3 of children that are reading below grade in the fourth grade will spend time incarcerated or on welfare... Nardagani is making strong inroads toward

Pitkethly’s profile on the Nardagani website includes this statement from her: “I love teaching it. It has already changed the lives of hundreds of people who were challenged readers—people of all ages throughout the U.S., many people with dyslexia, hundreds of inmates at detention centers in the West and people of all ages

he Community Library in Ketchum has teamed up with Bird and Company framing firm, also in Ketchum, to offer a selection of vintage Sun Valley area photos to those who may be interested decorating their walls with some colorful local history. The Library’s Regional History Department has over 1,500 color, 1950s era photos of the area in its collection. “Back then, Sun Valley’s owner, Union Pacific Railroad, hired photographers to publicize the ski resort and staged many photos,” said Mary Tyson, the Library’s regional history librarian, in an interview. “A lot of them are iconic shots of places you know— Baldy, the Roundhouse, the legendary diving board at the [Sun Valley] Lodge pool—and check out the innocence and fashion!” Local history buffs can view the photos at the Library, located at 415 Spruce Avenue, or purchase them for use directly from the Library. However, this month, those who want to get their hands on a high quality print can purchase 20 of the shots from the Library and Bird and Co. online, with frames or on canvass. The photos are currently available at vintageskitown.com. tws

rofessional athlete, volunteer firefighter and Blaine County resident Rebecca Rusch is the kind of person who can accomplish anything she puts her mind to, including penning it all down in her latest achievement: an inspirational autobiography titled “Rusch To Glory: Adventure, Risk & Triumph on the Path Less Traveled.” To celebrate the release last month of her book, Rusch will host a book reading tonight at 6 p.m. at The Community Library in Ketchum, located at 415 Spruce Avenue. During the event, titled “Bikes, Beers & Bruises,” Rusch will show slides from some of her life adventures, tell a few stories, answer questions from the audience and sign copies of her book. Sawtooth Brewery will provide beer and Sun Valley Mustard will provide snacks during the evening. Rusch is known in the world of endurance sports as “the queen of pain.” She holds national and world titles in whitewater rafting, adventure racing, orienteering, cross-country skiing and mountain biking. In September 2013, she organized the inaugural “Rebecca’s Private Idaho” endurance cycling event in the Wood River Valley. She held a sequel to the race in 2014 and plans to host the third annual during Labor Day weekend, 2015. Yet, Rusch says doing all those things was a piece of cake compared to writing them all down in the book. “The book’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, by far,” she said in an interview. “The whole gist is that it’s not about me. They are my stories, but the point is inspirational storytelling. The goal is for people to read it and then go out and have their own adventure.” The book is meant to appeal to everyone, not just elite athletes, Rusch added. “Hopefully it sparks something in [my readers’] souls to go explore, just getting people out and about,” she said. On writing the book, Rusch said others spurred her to do so more than her own initiative did. “Everybody else decided for me that it was a pretty good story and that it should be told!” she said. “I’d written stuff all along. People had said for years that I should write a book, but I blew it off. Then, the publisher came directly to me with an offer, and I said, ‘now or never.’ “ Rusch has lived in the Wood River Valley for about 12 years. Before then, she’d been “nomadic” for some time, looking for a place to call home. She first came to the area to visit and train with an adventure racing teammate, and she never left. She said she feels lucky to live in such a cycling “mecca” where even her “little lunchtime rides” are world class. What’s her favorite ride? “There isn’t one,” she said. “Maybe a full-day backcountry ride. There’s so much to choose from, so I don’t get bored with anything.” For more information about the book reading, visit www.comlib. org/events.

“I was excited to talk to the Sun Valley Center for the Arts about collaborating with their multimedia project, ‘Under the Influence of Rock & Roll,’ as soon as I read about it,” said Hilarie Neely, Footlight’s dance artistic director, in an interview. “Dance and music go hand in hand, so the collaboration is a natural!” The performances will be part of Footlight Dance Centre’s annual outreach school tour and will begin on Jan. 26 with a performance at the Carey School and end with a show at Wood River Middle School on Feb. 6. There will also be a free performance for the general public at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theatre on Feb. 4, at 7 p.m. Footlight is also including the use of video and has teamed up with the Community School Upper School video production class to show iconic images and to enhance the understanding of dance and music’s evolution and development over the years. “Music and dance have gone hand in hand as rock and roll has developed, and these art forms have been a part of our changing culture for the past 65 years,” Neely said.

Youth Program ‘Does Right’ BY MARYLAND DOLL

he local chapter of the national “Do The Right Thing” (DTRT) program recognized five Blaine County students on Tuesday, Nov. 11, concluding the second round of award recipients for the relatively new program. The message behind the DTRT program is about as simple as its name entails. The program has recently been implemented in the Wood River Valley by the Hailey “Do The Right Thing” organization, whose partners include the Hailey Fire Department, Hailey Police Department and the Blaine County School District. “The basis of the program is simple: we are rewarding students in our community for doing the right thing,” said Hailey Fire Chief Craig Aberbach, who can be held largely responsible for the development of the program in Blaine County after he saw it in action at a fire department in Florida where he worked previously. “It builds confidence in the students and lets them know that it is OK to do the right thing,” Aberbach said. The local program’s second round of kudos included over 30 nominees who were recognized for

everything from having a general positive attitude to helping organize book drives or for contributing time to local nonprofits. The recipients were thirdgrade Hailey Elementary student Audrey Hernandez, Carey High School senior Natalie Villanueva, Sage School senior Lauren Robideaux, Wood River High School senior Avery Closser, and the grand prize winner, Enrique Dolores, a freshman at Wood River High School. A child can be nominated by anyone in the community, the only stipulation being that the person nominated must live in Blaine County and attend a school within the county school district. “The goal is to recognize and reward Blaine County youth for their exemplary behavior, accomplishments and good deeds through a unique partnership with the public and private sectors,” Aberbach said in a recent presentation regarding DTRT. Blaine County is the first in Idaho to try the program, and its organizers hope to carve out a path for other counties in the area to start their own DTRT chapters. “This program is a great way to show the community what our kids are capable of, and we hope to set an example for others

Parents, teachers and peers all helped to nominate the five students chosen for the relatively new “Do The Right Thing” program’s second round of awards.

to follow,” Aberbach said. Currently, there are 58 DTRT chapters in the United States, as well as three in Germany and one in London. The DTRT organization hopes to host a ceremony three times a year where it will announce the winners of each round, as well as host an end-of-year banquet where one top “special recognition” recipient will

receive an ultimate grand prize. Sponsors collaborate to come up with the prizes awarded at each ceremony. Currently, the program is sponsored by Windy City Graphics, Hailey Rotary Club, Hailey Kiwanis Club, ESS (Eye Safety Systems), Sturtos Hailey, Neuhoff Communications, Blaine County School District and Hailey Fire

Department. “What impresses me the most is that it is a program funded one hundred percent by donation, not by the school board or the city,” Aberbach said. The program is currently accepting nominations on the City of Hailey’s website, haileycityhall.org, and the next deadline for nominations is Feb. 9. tws

In 2013, Jose Varela, a Nardagani bilingual instructor working at the Blaine County Detention Center, found that some of his Spanish-speaking students were not learning English with the Nardagani system. He decided they might have better success if they learned to read first in their native language before attempting English. He modified the existing Spanish Nardagani Reading Program, applied it to his students and found they learned to read Spanish quickly and were then able to learn English (a more complex language) in only four lessons.

her daughter struggle to learn to read over a sixmonth period, Pitkethly was reminded of her time in Japan when she was in her 20s and learned to read enough Japanese in a week to be able to understand street signs, menus, directions and newspapers, using the Japanese syllabary known as Hiragana. Pitkethly worked for many years applying the same Japanese system of symbols and developing a more comprehensive system of addressing illiteracy in America and teaching people to read. The system involves just 12 simple symbols by which a challenged reader can learn the sound of every letter in the alphabet. The Nardagani website claims that “Most challenged readers learn to read in four (one-hour) lessons.” Nardagani was adopted by the Idaho State Department of Education in 2012.

Sweet Street Ketchum Gets Gingerbread Makeover BY MARYLAND DOLL

etchum just got a whole lot sweeter, thanks to Mary Jones—owner of the Chocolate Moose and resident gingerbread aficionado. Her mission: to build a gingerbread replica of some of Ketchum’s most iconic buildings. So far, Jones has created 20 buildings, but is aiming to have 50 completed before a soft opening of her highly ambitious project (date to be announced, though Jones hopes to hold it sometime close to Thanksgiving). Jones expects to hold a hard opening in mid-December. “You have to be nuts to agree to take on this amount of work, but you also have to be patient and good with details,” she said in an interview. “My background in art helps a lot. At the Choc-

buildings are done. As far as materials, Jones estimates she will go through approximately 500 pounds of sugar and 100 pounds of egg whites, not to mention a whole lot of butter and molasses. Some local businesses have agreed to sponsor a few buildings—not necessarily their own—but more donations are still being sought and will be highly appreciated by Jones and her team. “I can have ten minutes where I’m working, thinking how great of a project this is, followed by ten minutes of wondering ‘What the heck was I thinking!’ It’s just the creative process, I guess, but I know in the end it will all be worth it,” Jones said. Jones’s passion for cooking and baking was sparked 34 years ago in Santa Cruz, Calif. when she and a friend started the Saturn Cafe, which is still open to this day. After that, she moved to the

The effort is part of a national American Red Cross campaign to reduce deaths and injuries from home fires by as much as 25 percent over the next five years. 65 percent of all fire-related deaths occur in homes that have no functioning smoke alarms, according to a recent news release from the department. In spite of that sobering statistic, a recent Red Cross survey found that 40 percent of people have lived in homes with no smoke alarm and 20 percent have disabled a smoke alarm because of nuisance beeping or flashing lights. “We know smoke alarms cut the risk of death from a fire in half,” states Wade Gayler, Senior Disaster Program Manager for the American Red Cross of Idaho and Montana, in the release. “That is why the Red Cross is working with the local fire department to make smoke alarms available to some of Hailey’s most vulnerable residents.” For more information, call the department at 208-7883147. 8

“Creating things out of food is one of the ways I combine my two passions, cooking and art,” she said. “In my ideal world, someone would pay me so I could spend eight months doing all of Ketchum, and then eventually expand and do Baldy, then Hailey, then the whole Valley!” tws

November Is Writers’ Month For Campbell, a month emphasizing writing is quite a positive step. “This is something to unify writers in the pursuit of a common goal,” she said in an interview. During November, writers of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to take to their craft. The Community Library in Ketchum has declared itself a ‘writing haven,’ committed to hosting three November writing sessions, with the next session falling on Saturday, Nov. 29. “[The sessions] are an opportunity for writers to interact with one another and take advantage of the library as an environment for writing,” Campbell said. The Community Library also has plans to publish its own literary magazine. Iconoclast Books in Ketchum will host a Black Friday open mic night on Nov. 28 and has announced plans for a “flash fiction contest” as well as the organization of a writers’ group.

BY P.M. FADDEN “200 million Americans want to publish a book...” reports the website publishing perspectives.com. Online writing service mobilereads. com also estimates “80 out of 100 people wish to write a book.” According to Ketchum librarian and champion of the written word, DeAnn Campbell, “The challenge is putting our ideas on paper.” In today’s global neighborhood, the potential to be inspired is limitless—an author’s only constraint is

his or her own motivation. To aid striving writers in achieving their creative aspirations, web-based nonprofit National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo.org) has declared November to be a month for wordsmiths. Though the organization’s title suggests a single nation’s efforts, the “Novel Writing Month” is, in fact, an international initiative. “In 2014, 200 countries will promote activities to inspire and encourage anyone interested in writing,” NaNoWriMo.org’s website states.

“It provides people with a venue and peers for the sharing of written work and even the opportunity to interact with published authors,” said Iconoclast Owner Sarah Hedrick in an interview. There are also plans to begin an area poetry club. Sun Valley resident Deborra Bohrer states that she has approached Chapter One bookstore in Ketchum regarding forming such a group and is “eager to share an interest in understanding poetry” among area residents. Both NaNoWriMo.org and Boise-based literary nonprofit The Cabin (www. thecabinidaho.org) support writers’ month with online resources. NaNoWriMo.org offers free publishing incentives to writers who attempt to write a novel within the month. “It helps make creativity a priority in life and to realize the vital ways in which our stories connect us. We are stories,” says NaNoWriMo.

Throughout the month, The Cabin is posting dates for authors lectures and other literary events, and is offering assistance in writing development. The writers’ has been a local success in previous years. Last November the Library aided area student writers in reaching word counts as high as 50,000 words. “Our future goal is to expand growth of National Novel Writers’ Month with local businesses,” Campbell said of the writing initiative. Interested participants are encouraged to contact the Library at 208-726-3493 or Iconoclast at 208-7261564 for more information. “Writing is a challenge,” Campbell said, “but a worthwhile one.” tws

Michael Niedrich High Flyer

BY JONATHAN KANE

ichael Niedrich, a Wood River High School senior carrying a 3.8 grade point average, an Eagle Scout and member of National Honor Society, is a bona fide adrenaline junkie. “I love high adrenaline,” said Niedrich. “Instead of drinking or drugs, I do sports. I’ve never been to a party. I don’t like relying on substances to make me happy. When you have an adrenaline rush, it makes you feel present and in the moment.” Added Niedrich, “I always liked sports, and feeling excited at learning new things, and the feeling of accomplishment at doing life-threatening things makes me feel alive and

extremely happy.” Among Niedrich’s favorite pastimes are speed flying, mountain biking, longboarding, riding motorcycles and rock climbing. Last summer he decided to share his love for some of these activities with kids in the Valley by starting a summer camp with his brother called Pro-Gression Sports Camp (720-4177). “We had both worked at camps and wanted to try it on our own. The idea was to take kids up and down the Valley and introduce them to and teach them things like mountain biking, rock climbing, skateboarding and other fun activities. We wanted to enjoy ourselves and learn to live active lifestyles by teaching kids sports that we love and to work with them on

team sports.” The age range was 8-14 years old and about 35 families signed up. “We bought a van and built a trailer for the equipment and would work with about thirteen kids a day by scheduling them in. Every Friday we would take a field trip and we went to places like the City of Rocks and Miracle Hot Springs. Everyone ended up loving it and the parents were extremely pleased, so we’ll definitely do it again this year.” One activity Niedrich didn’t share with the kids is his love of a sport called speed flying, which is a high-adrenaline mix of BASE jumping and paragliding. “Basically, you hike up any mountain or cliff and you lay your wing on the ground and then run off the top of the mountain or cliff with the

wing attached. One difference with paragliding is that the wing is much smaller, so you can do tricks like going upside down and doing 360s.” The ride can take up to five minutes from a place like the top of Baldy and the object is to fly as close to the edge as possible. “I got started when my brother learned to BASE jump and then we learned to speed fly, which is much more accessible here. In BASE jumping, you free fall and pull the chute. With speed flying, you are actually flying. It’s all pretty much unreal and unlike anything I have ever done. I was flying my body through the air and it was crazy and something that most people will never experience. It’s just an awesome thing to do.” tws

Ron Reese Ree-Construction

BY KRISTY HEITZMAN

on Reese has a background and wealth of knowledge about water and fire damage reconstruction. He is originally from Jerome, but moved about for many years, from Texas, North Dakota and Washington state, before he decided to re-settle back in his home community. He worked for a time in the insurance industry, which helped provide him with a full understanding of what his clients need and what they may not even know they need. Back in the 1980s Reese’s family owned a carpet-cleaning service. He became busy with that, and built up a reputation for taking care of people and their homes from water and fire damage. He eventually sold the carpet-cleaning business and started Ree-Construction. Ree-Construction has

offices in Twin Falls, Boise and Bellevue. Reese enjoys the fact that every day at his job is different. Ree-Construction can do anything from repairing water and fire damage, to standard remodels, radon detection and remediation, mold issues, and earthquake retrofits, to name a few kinds of projects he is familiar with. Reese explained to me that, unfortunately, most of his clients do not have the luxury of time when Ree-Construction is called to come in; they have immediate needs, from removing and storing furniture and the restoration of fine art, to all the basics of what to do with one’s personal belongings while Ree-Construction comes in to fix the damages and recreate the “home” that one had the day before the unexpected damages. With Reese’s experience from teaching classes throughout the Midwest, he

Not only does he know professionals around the country to help ease the minds of his clients, he himself is one of the advisers many turn to regarding the standards for how to assess and properly test and treat damage from water and mold. Reese is a former president of the Water Loss Institute and speaks at seminars around the country. He is currently working on water damage standards of practice. He has been an active part of writing the standards for water and mold damage for the last five years.

Kindness Poem

BY AVERY CLOSSER

here’s a satisfying feeling that one experiences, when voices are soft and content. When actions are affectionate and a simple word Warms you from the moment one smiles with a clear intent. The action that warrants these feelings is a simple act of compassion. Imagine if everyone knew. Relationships stem from your piece of mind. Positive or negative, secure, content or afraid, Things begin to change when one person learns to be kind. Imagine if everyone understood. The fact that kindness flows both ways should become a recognition, And a reality. As soon as arms are taken against all acts of cruelty, The ambition of human bonds will transform and we might find peace. Imagine if everyone acted. Everyone needs to realize that this sensational generosity, this overwhelming concern, This love and emotion, is not just a dream. It is a possibility. Imagine if we could learn. Imagine that this begins tomorrow, today, right now. Avery Closser is an ETC (Every Teen has a Choice) teen intern with The Advocates, a Hailey-based nonprofit whose mis-

S- Live Music _- Benefit THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR NOV. 19TH FROM PICABO ANGLER

old weather should not keep fly anglers off of the water. About now, a great many anglers put their gear away until next opening day, revealing a collection of those for whom not fishing is not an option, as the time away from the sport will do damage to their souls. It’s OK. You’re not alone. I know how you feel. The fact that you’re reading this report this week is a sort of testament to your and my madness. The need to cast and feel the connection to all things wild outweighs common sense because, brother, it’s cold outside! So how do we beat the freeze? Well, I can’t keep your rod guides from freezing, but I can tell you a few things I’ve learned after years of winter fishing and guiding. First off, if you’re going to walk any farther from your vehicle than one run on the river, breathable waders will be warmer than thick neoprene waders. This is simply due to the perspiration factor. If you get hot and perspire in your heavy waders and then you stop to fish, you will get chilled by your own sweat. Breathable waders will keep you as warm as the clothes underneath them, and if your clothing wicks the moisture from your body, your breathable waders will be forgiving and warm. Go to Costco and purchase hand and foot warmers in bulk. These little air-activated warmers can extend a day by hours if used properly. Put them in your boots, your pockets, under your gloves—anywhere they will fit! Keep your fishing hours short and on point. If you know the fishing window is going to be a brief afternoon one, then stay calm, have an extra cup of coffee and read the newspaper twice if need be. Just don’t rush out in the bitter cold when you know the fish won’t eat. Save your energy and thus your body heat for when it counts. A thermos is not something anglers want to carry all the time, but hot liquid during the day will warm you, boost your energy and feed your soul with what you need for a productive day in the water. Finally, master the use of your hemostats and learn to gently let fish go and remove the hook without ever handling them or taking them from the water. This simple act will benefit you and the fish! Happy fishing—and stay warm, everyone!

Fresh Snow

BY BRENNAN REGO

can think of few topics more superlative to write about than fresh snow. Fresh snow displays the apogee of optimism. Anything is possible. In the Wood River Valley and its surrounding areas,

many “noise” sounds, allowing us to focus more easily on the moment at hand. Fresh snow also tastes amazing, by all top epicurean standards. Catch a snowflake on your tongue the next time it snows (if you can read this, you’re not too old; if you can’t read this, you might be too young). A fresh-caught snowflake

snow is sacrosanct. And it should be. It provides a cornucopia of recreational and economic opportunities that make the cold more than worth bearing, most of the time anyway! My favorite thing about the first true snowfall is the way it redefines smell and sound for the winter season. After it snows, the air takes on that distinct, dry, non-smell that muffles some scents and accentuates others (pine, I find, is always boosted). Snow also absorbs

offers a chill-melting mouthfeel that even the world’s best chefs could only dream of recreating. Speaking of culinary delights, the first snowy days are an ideal time to tinker with the perfect hot chocolate recipe. Mine involves the darkest Dutch-processed cocoa I can get my hands on, full-force milk, raw sugar, and some marshmallows. Visually, fresh snow makes things sparkle in a way more precious than

‘Art Of Winter Studio Stroll’ Scheduled

even the most eye-catching diamonds ever could. The way each snowflake plays with light is as unique as each flake itself, and as ephemeral too. Just as with sound and smell, snow transforms the scenery by masking certain features and while revealing some marvelous surprises. Tracks, for example, become much more descriptive in the snow. Snow—whether shredding speedily beneath your ski, snowboard, sled or other snow-worthy device; in your hands as you pack it into a snowman; or falling lazily around and on you—feels awesome. Yet, wintertime also offers the often desirable option of not interacting with snow at all. After all, now’s the time to hunker down by the fire with that book you’ve been meaning to read. Ok fine, Netflix binge you can’t wait to watch. There are, of course, some definite bummers that come along with the shift to wintertime. Digging out my car zooms to mind. But, those are easily overcome by a quick look at the bright side of the blizzard: more snow for us generally means more fun—outside or inside— with more funds, once the work is done. So, let it snow, let it snow. And be safe out there when it does. “The Bright Side” is The Weekly Sun’s positive voice by Editor Brennan Rego.

A diverse collective of Ketchum-based artists will host an “Art of Winter Studio Stroll” on Black Friday, Nov. 28, from 4-8 p.m. in the city’s Light Industrial District at Lewis Street, Bell Drive and Northwood Way. Artists Suzanne Hazlett, Judith Kindler, Christine Warjone and Kathryn Riedinger will open their studio doors to the public during the art celebration evening. “What was just a spark of an idea became an instant collaboration of four artists to create a glimmering art event in the darkness of winter,” states Hazlett in a recent news release. “All four art studios are located in what we like to describe as the ‘Ketchum Studio District.’ ” The Sun Valley area has become a nationally recognized special enclave of highly talented and passionate artists including musical and performing artists and visual artists, according to the release. “The industrial area just north of downtown Ketchum provides a unique environment for professional artists,” the release states. “Tucked away in modest, often unassuming, structures are cultural treasures to be discovered.” Hazlett will have her latest mixed-media works on exhibition, which draw from the nuances of texture and light found in nature and urban environments. Hazlett’s studio is located at 481-A Bell Dr. Visit www.sazustudio. com for more details. Multidisciplinary artist Judith Kindler will show her sculpture, installation and photography-based art in her newly expanded studio space. Kindler’s studio is located at 110 Lewis St. #2 & #3. To learn more, visit www. judithkindlerart.com. Christine Warjone will share her travel-inspired works on metal and canvas, which demonstrate her passion for life, family and friends. Warjone’s studio is located at 110 Lewis St. #1. For more information, visit www. cwarjone.com. Conveying her impressionistic interpretations, Kathryn Riedinger will display a new series of winter landscapes and Western studies, both plein air and larger studio works. Riedinger’s studio is located at 231-B Northwood Way, #800. Learn more about her work at www.kathrynriedinger.com. While enjoying the hospitality of these artists, studio visitors will find an abundance of artwork large and small. “Art of Winter Studio Stroll creators hope to capture a festive open studio event and inspire art lovers to uncover rare art finds, many of which are ‘seasonably’ priced at attractive levels for gift giving,” the release states. “A party atmosphere will greet visitors, with each studio’s exterior donning large illuminated stars to guide the way. Free libations and refreshments will welcome guests in the midst of beautifully appointed working studios. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/ketchumstudiodistrict.

Studio Raises Funds For “Q Sports” Studio Q - Sun Valley has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund four additional “Q Sports with Derek Agnew” shows. The Ketchum-based studio’s pilot show features five-time Olympian Dara Torres, right, and the Studio Q team is looking to highlight more iconic, Idaho-related athletes shortly. Agnew, left, is a former sports reporter for ABC Seattle and is also the General Manager for Zenergy Health Club and Spa’s locations in both Ketchum and Boise. “We are so excited to ignite Studio Q - Sun Valley with the production of ‘Q Sports with Derek Agnew,’ and I can’t think of a better way to launch this sports series than interviewing more Idaho athletes,” states Lynn Pattnosh— the studio’s Executive Producer—in a recent news release.

A WELL-DESERVED BREAK Matthew Gorby and Chris Millspaugh take a time out on Friday after the snow storm. Seen left enjoying the weather and beverages, the co-publishers were in the midst of laying out their sales campaign for the holidays. Neither one wanted to go out and sell ads until January; however, Steve Johnston, publisher of The Weekly Sun, suggested it might be a good idea, filled them with hope, and explained simple and correct

business practices to them. Gorbs and Spa reluctantly agreed and promised they would try harder. In other news this week, it snowed. Once again, if you have a funny story or photo you'd like to contribute to the paper, please send it in to us or start your own newspaper and leave us alone.

SNOW?

THE INTERLOPER

I’m sorry, but snow on the 13th of November, two weeks before Thanksgiving? Come on! I’m not ready yet. I haven’t caulked my door or bought my imitation logs. My winter wear is in the basement next to the “box of broken dreams.” Where are my gloves? Where are my Sorels? Where’s the scarf? I don’t feel like digging out the driveway this morning. The snow slid off the roof onto my poppies. What kind of demise is that? Just a few days ago it was 60º and I’m frolicking with my cat through the bushes in the backyard and now it’s zero. ZERO! That’s not right! Who knew it would be cold enough to snow? I checked the Farmer’s Almanac and there was a blue face laughing at me. Now, there’s seven months of winter to face? I can’t do that. I won’t do that. ...continued page 18

A winter wonderland descended over the Valley last week as locals scrambled to winterize their homes, cars and pets. Estimates of two-and-a-half feet of the white gold were reported by many citizens all over the county, 90% of which were entirely false. The depth of the snowfall reports seem to parallel the number of cocktails that were consumed by the “weather reporters” every hour. Snowplows were summoned and by nightfall the powerful vehicles raced up and down Highway 75 at speeds reported at above 70 miles per hour.

The merchants of the Valley went wild as they cheered the falling masses of snow. Sales of winter gear and sports equipment began almost immediately, holiday lights went up and turkeys were force fed at alarming rates so that they’d be ready for Thanksgiving feasts and the opening of the ski trails. One man was planning a traditional Thanksgiving dinner this year by buying the largest turkey he could find, inviting all his neighbors to a sumptuous meal and then shooting them, likening the first

ASK DR.

SPA

Dear Dr. Spa, I’m recently divorced and am faced with getting back into the dating game. Can you give me some advice on how to get to know the ladies in the bar scene? Signed, Red E. Trumbell Dear Ready To Rumble, Well, I don’t know what you look like, but here are two lines that always worked for me in the early days of winter: “I have heat” and “I have cable.” Love, Dr. Spa

I haven’t had sex since Obama’s first term. I’ve never responded to a text message. If anybody needs me, I’ll be standing next to a heat vent for the next six months. Some of my most meaningful relationships started because I was too lazy to leave the room. The sounds of faraway laughter rise and fall. Another moment of joy that lives and dies without me. I’ve had the extreme privilege to have wasted my entire life.

In this day and age, the closest most of us will get to finding happiness is free WiFi and an economy-sized ISIS needs to fire their PR tub of Nutella. guys. No job is worth the slightest bit of effort.

How do I like my eggs? Umm, in a cake.

Dogs are still pretty excited over everything.

Ed. Note: Ever notice how old people are always talking trash about the younger generation until they accidentally disable their WiFi and can’t figure out how to turn it back on. Then we’re suddenly the masterminds of information and resources.

Tired of red and blue parties getting nothing done? Join the Surprise Party today. I just got back from Iowa where they sell John Deere lingerie in the airport gift shop. If someone pushed me off a cliff I would yell “DON’T BE SO PUSHY” instead of “NOOOOO” and then they’d really regret killing such a cool, funny guy. That statement I made about having a favorite bus stop? It was true and I’m still standing by it. To the blonde at the bar with the nice shoes: “Wanna’ go out sometime? I wear shoes myself.” You’re either a dog person or a cat person or a rational person who doesn’t have a problem with liking two different things at the same time. My girlfriend thought my racecar bed was immature, so I got a minivan bed to show her I’m serious about our future.

A GREAT LADY PASSES The laughter is a little bit quieter this week as the Blatant County community mourns the loss of one of our own loveable characters - Nicki Lee Foster. She had an art framing shop in Vargold Lane (now the Galleria across the street from Ozzie’s Shoes). One of her framers was Gail Severn, who went on to open her own art gallery. Nicki: “Yes, I taught her everything I knew and she still was a success.” Later, Nicki opened a reconditioned furniture store called “The Second Time Around.” She worked in the local art scene for many years. But her favorite times were being with her many pets, whom she loved deeply, and when she was on the stage or in the studio making people laugh. It was in her genes, as Peggy Lee, the famous jazz and pop vocalist, was her mother. She was shanghaied into a musical comedy review called “The Whoop Show” in 1977 and became a local celebrity. That same year she was named “The Princess of the Fasching Festival,” a local winter celebration that attracted a huge audience. She went on to become a radio comedienne on KSKI radio’s first soap opera, “All My Bummers.” There, she developed characters that became her mainstays in the local comedy scene for years. There was Mother Whoop, a kindly old lady who would read off-color fairy tales to adults; Mildred Docent, an overbearing society climbing shrew; Holly Pino, the wife of a has-been Philippine jazz singer from Las Vegas

and, of course, the dynamic lead singer of the Motown/ Ketchum rhythm and blues group, “Nicki Nite and the Whoops.” Nicki’s last few years were spent in Twin Falls recovering from a myriad of medical problems, but she never lost that wonderful sense of humor and kept in touch with the friends and family that she loved so well. So, it’s curtains going down here and curtains going up there in the next level. Let the next show begin.

SNOW? ...continued from page 15

I’ve decided that I will stay indoors until May just so I don’t have to start that shoveling routine (okay, my wonderful neighbor does that and now his son has moved back home to help). On the other hand, I don’t have to punch an alarm clock and get up for my job. I don’t have a job. I just write for a living. Sure, it’s pretty. So what? My 1999 Dodge “soccer mom” Caravan is a perfect cold weather/snow automobile. It just doesn’t like it. Even if I convert it into a Hybrid with a remote electric starter that sits on my TV, I would prefer not to drive around on slick roads again. I now have all my bills electronically deducted from my bank account and reside right next to a convenience store. I don’t have to travel. How important is the post office, anyway? I will settle down and cocoon for the winter. What about friends and family? That’s why God and Al Gore gave us the Internet and email. All I really need is a “Help, I’ve fallen down and can’t get up” life alert button. I fall, I call. Then, I ask them to bring a few items on my shopping list that I can’t get next door and, of course, I will tip 15%. Okay, I can relax now. I’m all set for the cold season. Let it rip! I’ll be at home tucked into a sleeping bag with a cat if you need me. Nice talking to you.

Ever since it started snowing, my husband has been standing in front of the window and watching. If the snow gets much worse, I might let him inside the house.

CORRECTIONS

A missing period on page four triggered numerous letters. Our office was swamped with verbal abuse last week by locals who were irate over a number of awkward sentences in The Way I See It column and had to be dispersed by cannisters of laughing gas. Police erected barriers around The Blatant County News office - a Dempsey Dumpster behind Ozzie’s Shoes. Several readers complained about the fact that we keep using the same pictures for all our lead stories week after week. Our staff acknowledges the errata and insists it will start taking the production of the paper seriously. Once again, our apologies. “Every time you make a typo, the errorists win.”

Dog-To-Dog Meeting & Greeting STORY AND PHOTO BY FRAN JEWELL

n today’s world, our dogs are put in a position that dogs from my childhood never had to face. When I was a kid, we had one dog. The few people that had dogs only had one dog. We didn’t take her to daycare, dog parks or even boarding. People that owned dogs didn’t really have much need to socialize their dogs with other dogs. There just

others. Some people don’t like large groups. Dogs are very much the same way. Some dogs really enjoy the company of other dogs. They can even be obsessed with other dogs. Other dogs are not as interested and may actually be more inclined to want to spend time with people instead. Forcing new encounters with a dog that is more reserved can be detrimental and VERY uncomfortable. It can force the dog to feel overwhelmed, and then be-

from outside the fence for several days until they show interest to go play with the other dogs. Daycare is a bit more difficult to make a slow introduction. Starting with a young puppy is usually easier. Trusting your daycare supervisors to make a slow introduction for a shy adult dog is really important. Initially, a short visit might work best. Get to know your new dog. If you have a reserved or shy dog around other dogs, let your dog

weren’t that many dogs around. Now our dogs are put into multiple-dog households, go to dog parks, etc. Many times we don’t understand the effect this has on the dog being introduced. The common theory is to just put dogs together and let them work it out. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn’t. Imagine yourself being thrown into a situation with lots of people you don’t know. Many people like to take their time getting to know

movie review JON RATED THIS MOVIE

hristopher Nolan’s new epic sci-fi thriller “Interstellar” is one helluva ride. Immensely entertaining at three hours long, the film has been called a 2001 A Space Odyssey for the new millennium. Although it doesn’t reach the heights of Kubrick’s masterpiece, it is top-notch sci-fi—although a little too heavy on the sci. Set in the near future, the film harkens back to other classics, from The Grapes of Wrath, The Right Stuff and Reds, as we find ourselves on an Earth on the edge of extinction. Now a vast dustbowl, the planet has been devastated and turned from technol

If you are unsure about how to introduce your dog slowly, call a professional.

come reactive or even aggressive toward other dogs. Take your time. Let a new dog coming into your home with one or more existing dogs build a relationship of trust. Give the new dog a safe space away from the other dogs until your new dog shows interest in being with the other dogs. It’s the same thing with taking a new dog to a dog park. Some dogs need to just go and watch

ogy-based to an agrarian cornbelt. Mathew McConaughey plays a farmer and former pilot, now trying to raise his teenage son and precocious daughter by himself. Through a series of incidents, McConaughey stumbles on a secret NASA installation and the genius professor played by Michael Caine with a two-headed plan to save the world. Some form of intelligent life has placed a wormhole near Saturn that leads to another galaxy where thirteen missions have tried to find a new hospitable world. Three seem promising, and soon McConaughey and Caine’s daughter, played by Anne Hathaway, and a witty robot voiced by Bill Irwin, are on their way.

Along the way they meet an astronaut, in a surprise bit of casting, on a frozen world who endangers the whole mission. With some thrilling moments and the crew’s prospects dwindling, the film moves to a rousing ending. Unfortunately, this is also where much of the talk about time and space and quantum physics may be too overwhelming for those of us not well versed in the sciences. Nolan and his brother Jonathan, with whom he wrote the screenplay, try to do their best, but the film may need multiple viewings to grasp it all. Still, the vision of the director is quite profound and makes this a must-see for science fiction fans.

Holidays & Stress Six Tools To Help You Enjoy The Season

BY LUKE SNELL

T Christina Tindle, M.A.

he recent snowfall here in the Valley is an obvious reminder that the holiday season is fast approaching, whether we like it or not. Here are some tips for navigating through this holiday season as stressfree as possible:

Tired of being tired? Stressed about being stressed? Stimulate yourself through Christina’s unique Thrive Training and enjoy powerful, effective change in your life. She works with individuals, couples, families and groups who seek conflict-free relationships, responsive communication, authenticity, a drug-free existence, clarity, and an abundantly more joyful direction in life.

1. Lower your expectations. Today’s media and commercial world portray a holiday season that would break the bank of most working people. Even the idealistic holiday depicted in favorite movie classics are, well… just a fantasy. Unless you’ve got pockets as deep as a celebrity, don’t expect so much from the holiday season.

Specialties:

2. Keep it simple. Going into debt to try to have the perfect holiday is probably one of the biggest stressors people face during this time of year. By not letting the pressures of the media or people around you dic-

3. Be organized. Lessen anxiety by accomplishing your tasks using lists, and sticking to a reasonable and comfortable budget. You can start checking “todos” off your list early, time your shopping to hit sales, and get ready for guests well ahead of time.

6. Seek professional help when needed. If you really find yourself spiraling out of control with stress and/or depression, seek professional help. There are many qualified people to help you navigate through stressful times.

4. Focus on what really counts. When it’s all said and done it’s the people and experiences you have that make your life rich. Fill your life with beautiful moments and focus on being with the ones you love. This strategy will combat both stress and depression. 5. Take a moment to breathe. Be sure to take time to slow down and be present during this busy season. Live in the moment and don’t

New Home vs. An Existing Home

Health Insurance...

worry about tomorrow. Some people find that reading a good book or taking quiet meditative moments can help them relax and not stress.

financial planning

ne of the most important decisions a new homebuyer has to make is whether to build new or buy existing. This question crops up early in the process of choosing your dream home, and it is something you should discuss and investigate before you decide on that perfect home. There are several benefits and drawbacks, or pros and cons, to each choice. Here are a few considerations before making a decision.

Let’s Talk

tate what your holidays should be like, you can design the perfect holiday season for your family that fits your beliefs and your budget.

Benefits: •Since the house was built when labor and materials were less expensive, you might get more “bang for your buck”—more quality workmanship and materials. •The house will often include appliances and window treatments. •If the house has been recently renovated, the updated kitchen and bathrooms could include some valuable extras that you would otherwise have to pay extra for. •The landscaping (trees, bushes, etc.) in most existing homes is already established and mature. Drawbacks: •Due to earlier construction, existing homes are generally less energy efficient, so they are more costly to heat and cool. •Building materials might be harder to match or replace.

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

•Past renovations might not be up to today’s codes. •Existing homes might require expensive repairs and renovations.

New Construction

Benefits: •Customizable to your preferences—even the floor plan. •Generally less required maintenance than an older home. •More energy-efficient design and materials. •Often wired for today’s technology and security. •Often include more storage space. •Modern amenities usually included Drawbacks: •Construction delays are common and may result in an unexpected interim move. •Because of rising costs of land, material and labor, new construction is often more expensive than an existing home. •May not include appliances, so an extra expense must be incurred to purchase these. •Dirt, mud and construction noise are often a problem until the entire neighborhood is complete. •Unknown problems with land or construction could expose drainage issues, underground waterways, sink holes, poor sink conditions, etc. •New subdivisions often include expensive homeowners’ association fees and regulations.

NOVEMBER 19, 2014

These are only some of the benefits and drawbacks of both existing homes and newly constructed homes. Whatever decision you make, be sure that the investment you are making in your new home meets all of your expectations, since you want to make sure your “dream home” is really a dream, and not a nightmare.

NOVEMBER 19, 2014

on life’s terms

BY JOELLEN COLLINS

he scariest time I ever had as an English teacher was a long time ago at Santa Monica High School in California. My classroom was in a building at the far end of the campus. Just before the last class of the day I noticed a boy hovering around the door. When class was over, one girl remained in her seat at the back of the room: she was afraid of her boyfriend, who at that moment rushed in with a knife. I simply started shouting “help” while I was trying to block the way. Fortunately, my building housed many math and science teachers (mainly men at that time), and two of my colleagues ran in my room and grabbed him from be-

School Daze

hind. The police were called and he was taken away. I believe that the only reason no one was hurt was that he was so stoned (on Benzedrine, aka “bennies”) that he was shaky and uncoordinated. Over the years I had some negative incidents with a small handful of students, but I truly loved most of “my kids” and usually they reciprocated with cooperation and consideration. However, no one ever had a gun, nor do I recall in my life as a student, fear of walking to school or hanging around after to talk with friends. Even admitting my rose-colored glasses when it comes to memory,

I feel lucky to have spent my school years in a relatively innocent time. When one of my daughters was in the fourth grade in Santa Monica, parents were warned about watching for a white van that was suspected of stalking children, suggesting their children walk in twos or threes to school. I was thus newly wary about danger and school: I had always thought of schools as havens and almost sacred places for children. By now we have all learned of the many JoEllen Collins—a longtime resident of the sad incidents involving Wood River Valley—is a teacher, writer, violence and death for stufabric artist, choir member and unabash- dents ranging from teeny edly proud grandma known as “Bibi Jo.” schoolchildren to collegians. I shake my head, as

most people I know, and wonder what to do. The grief around lost lives of those whom we nurture and who should outlive us is devastating. Why? Are the culprits affected by violent TV and Internet games, by chemicals in our food, by a callous change in our attitudes about the value of life, by a lack of spiritual and parental guidance, even by some kind of mass hypnosis, or by the prevalence of handguns and machine guns? When a restaurant in Texas gives discounts to people carrying guns, I scream. Even in the gun-toting Wild West, no one slaughtered innocent children in school. Thus, I bewail the loss of one other certainty for this generation: the safety and sanctuary of a classroom. tws
