A Writer’s Thanksgiving Journey To Idaho
Challenger Rises
BY JOHN HUBER
T
hanksgiving in my family extends beyond the holiday; it is a focal point of my family history and of how I arrived in Idaho nearly 100 years after my family’s early history in Oklahoma. It is perhaps the main reason my family ended up in Idaho to begin with. Michael Clasen was my great-grandfather and he was also the owner of the largest turkey ranch in the state of Oklahoma during the 1930s. With upwards of 1000 birds in his flock, great-grandfather would bring them annually to the Oklahoma City Farmers’ Market.

Here, he would set up shop, penning the birds behind the truck and perching a few on rails along the sides. He also put one on top of the truck as a beacon for buyers coming to pick out their Thanksgiving dinner. The buyers were selective and judged the quality of the bird by the straightness of the breastbone. It was a time before Butterball, and before mass-produced piles of frozen turkeys. The birds were always free-range, with no antibiotics or hormones added—just good, wholesome turkey, feathers and all. The income provided by the Thanksgiving holiday was the majority of my family’s earnings for that year. It was a tough life and a tough job dealing with a bird known for its neurotic tendencies. What happened next was a perfect storm. The Dustbowl hit Oklahoma hard in the ’30s, as well as the Great Depression. To add to the misery, my grandmother told me of the day a delivery truck moving fast down a country road took out
nybody who skis knows about “chairlift talk.” It ranges from the bizarre to the mundane, but usually ends at the top ramp. This was not the case last February when three companions and I were sailing up the Warm Springs side of Bald Mountain aboard the Challenger lift. Mindless chatter found mutual focus when someone questioned how the lift got its name. The suggestion that it was named after the ill-fated space shuttle chilled us to the bone. It was totally rejected, but we agreed by the time we reached the top terminal that it had something to do with the Challenger Inn. For the sake of “chairlift talk,” for the sake of history and for the sake of my own curiosity, I had to find out. To dispel any future hearsay, the facts provide that NASA found historic metaphor in the 1870 voyages of the British research vessel “HMS Challenger” and tagged the spaceship with the same moniker. The lift was named after a Union Pacific locomotive. In its glory days, especially during World War II, the Challenger was a flagship “fast hauler” for seven or eight major railways. Union Pacific had the most, at 105. It was developed in the early 1930s by Union Pacific to haul freight over the Wasatch Mountains
in Utah. It weighed in at 1 million pounds, not counting the 25,000 gallons of water and 28 tons of coal required for a fillup. In late January of 2004, a restored Union Pacific Challenger rolled through Roselle, Ill., and 8,000 people lined the tracks to experience a scene once common that had not been repeated for over 50 years. The ground shook, black smoke billowed and the mournful whistle wailed through trailing clouds of white steam. Dogs and cattle ran for their lives, excited children gaped and waved and many of the older adults could not hold back their tears. It was over in a little more than a minute and the engine continued on a nine-state, 3000-mile tour. In respect of its age and nonexistent parts inventory, it was throttled down from the 70 mph allowed in the past to 60 mph. Retired steam engineers admitted to sustained 85 mph so-called “high ball” runs with full tonnage when tracks and weather allowed. It is the largest and most powerful operating steam locomotive in the world and is the last of 252 that were designed by Union Pacific and built between 1936 and 1947. Several locomotive works built the engine but, fundamentally, they were all the same. Often called “twenty-wheelers,” all had a pilot truck in front with four wheels to steer the behemoth down the tracks. Two sets of six driving wheels were hinged beneath the boiler so that each set of CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

THANKSGIVING JOURNEY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4
WHAT YOU’LL FIND IN THIS ISSUE
the majority of their flock as the family was herding them. The truck never stopped, the family never recovered, and very much in the vein of The Grapes of Wrath, my grandmother’s side of the family packed up all they could and headed west, eventually settling in eastern Oregon and western Idaho. It was a hard time in America, yet it was these three tragedies that moved the Clasen family west where my grandmother met my grandfather near Twin Falls. The family eventually moved to Portland, Ore., and a generation later I came back to Idaho, and here I am today… When I think of Thanksgiving I cannot help but think of family, of struggle, and of what transpired as our young country suffered growing pains. I also cannot help but KETCHUM’S YOUNGEST FIREFIGHTER WORKS HARD
think of the simple twists of fate that found me living in Idaho and my historic connection to this special holiday. We should all give thanks this week to those generations before us and recognize that while Norman Rockwell captured the holiday spirit well, for many, many people Thanksgiving of the 1930s was as much a time of survival as it was anything. We can all be thankful for the fortitude of an entire generation that has made so many more Thanksgivings possible for so many more of us!

hile most people are still recovering from extra helpings of Thanksgiving dinner, nexStage Theatre hopes to put those stomach muscles to work with the debut of its Broadway smash hit comedy, “Lend Me A Tenor.” The play will open on Friday, Nov. 28,, with a special pre-show cocktail party to kick off the production. Tickets will be $50 for the first night ($75 for reserved seating), with a signature cocktail and plentiful hors d’oeuvres promised. At the pre-show party, nexStage will also be hosting a silent auction of several luxury items donated by theatre supporters and local businesses. Many of the items are already available to bid on at www.biddingowl.com; just search “nexStage Theatre.” The three-time Tony Award-winning play will also be running in Ketchum Nov. 29-30 and Dec. 3-6, for which tickets are $25 ($35 for reserved seating). “Lend Me A Tenor” was written by Ken Ludwig and received Broadway acclaim in 1989, then was revived on Broadway in 2010 where it was again nominated for a Tony Award in several categories. The Sun Valley production is being expertly directed by Bruce Hostetler, who was brought in for the production from Portland, Ore., by nexStage. “I originally met the nexStage team as a director for the Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival back in 2004,” said Hostetler in an interview. “I was the director of the festival from 2004-2010, and also worked on two children’s plays for the theatre.” However, Hostetler assures audiences this play is quite a bit different from his past work in children’s theatre. “I’d call it PG, maybe PG-13,” he said. “There’s definitely some implications being made and you’re going to see quite a few people running around in their underwear.” Set in 1934, the play follows the arrival of the “world-famous Tito Merelli, Il Stupendo, the greatest tenor of his generation,” who has come to the Cleveland Grand Opera Company to appear for one night only as Shakespeare’s Otello. As per usual, the famous tenor arrives late and, through a hilarious and horrific turn of events, is left passed out on tranquilizers, looking positively deathly to the theatre manager and his assistant, Max. In a last-ditch effort to save the play and the Opera, Max is persuaded to put on Merelli’s Otello costume and do his best to convince the audience he’s the one and only Il Stupendo instead of a lowly stage assistant. Confusion quickly ensues when Merelli awakens and also comes on stage dressed for the part. Not only does this mean twice the Otellos, but also twice the Merelli groupies chasing the men around stage in their lingerie. “Patsy Wygle and I were looking for a play to produce and we knew we wanted a comedy,” explained Keith Moore, one of the play’s producers and actors, in an interview. “When we read the script for ‘Lend Me A Tenor,’ we literally couldn’t stop laughing, which I don’t think has ever happened to us before.” Wygle and Moore, along with fellow local actors Claudia McCain, Charlotte Hemmings and Holly Ann Hatch, are all featured in the play, which stars Portland actors Timothy Blough as Tito Merelli and Michael Kutner as Max. Both actors were recruited by Hostetler for the production. “I’ve worked with both actors previously in different productions in Oregon and they are a fantastic addition to the cast,” Hostetler said. Tickets for “Lend Me A Tenor” can be purchased at nexStage Theatre, located at 120 S. Main St. in Ketchum, or by calling 208-726-4tks.

Ski Rentals Done ‘Wright’ Local Delivery Service Turns Ten

BY DICK DORWORTH
K
yle Wright is a lifelong skier whose career has taken him from his Vermont roots to Idaho, where he is the owner/operator of the only ski rental delivery service in Sun Valley. His busi-
ness saves skiing/boarding customers the time it would take to go to a rental shop, (possibly) wait in line to be fitted, take the gear back home and then return it when ski vacation is over. It is called D2D (Door to Door Ski Rentals) and every day of the winter ski season Wright is busy being the
full ski equipment concierge to Sun Valley visitors. Says Wright, “We show up when the guest requests us to and efficiently outfit them with the ski and snowboard gear (including boots, poles, helmets, etc.) that they need and we pick everything up at a time that is convenient for them, with all of
the delivery being free of charge. It really is a simple, hassle-free process for the renter.” Like every business connected to skiing, each day, according to Wright, “…varies with the highs and lows of the season. Typically, I’m pulling orders for the day or picking up skis and keeping the rental fleet tuned up. I’m on the phone a lot. When there is a window, I’m on the hill, even if it’s just for a run or two.” When Wright finished high school, he went to work building Burton snowboards in the factory in Burlington, Vermont. In 2001, when Wright was 20, he moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado “…where I continued my career working at ski shops and hitting the mountain as much as I could.” The next year he went to work for Ben Saari, who had just started D2D. Wright explains, “It was their first year in business with a new concept of bringing ski equipment to the residence instead of going to the shop. The first two years went great with the company and they decided it was time to expand to other markets. Sun Valley was one of the markets, and the owner, Ben, offered me the location as well as the means to get going the first
year, 2004. “My first year in Sun Valley was quite humbling as a 23-year-old. I worked out of a small garage in Elkhorn with one tiny space heater, but I survived on striving to provide the best service and standards possible. This is my 10th year as the only ski rental delivery in Sun Valley and we have had solid growth every single one of those years, as well as growth in inventory and shop size (and warmth). My goal is to keep having consistent growth in the future while still keeping the fundamentals of delivering unmatchable service to all of D2D’s guests.” In addition to Wright, D2D employs one shop manager and some parttime employees according to those fluctuating high-andlow ski season variables. When he’s not working, Wright, a bachelor, enjoys skiing, snowboarding, fly-fishing, hiking, mountain biking and rafting. In the summer, he works as a counselor for Higher Ground’s recreation program. For more information check www.D2Dskis.com or contact Wright at 208726-4754, 208-450-9489 or kwright@d2dskis.com tws

Dash Of Fun Planned For Thanksgiving BY P.M. FADDEN
C
ommunity fun-runners will gather on Thanksgiving Day to participate in this year’s Turkey Trot. The run, walk and stroll event will take place throughout the Draper Preserve and Bow Bridge course in Hailey
on Thursday, Nov. 27. This year will mark the event’s 11th annual outing. “We started this in 2003 thinking the Valley needed to start a Turkey Trot tradition, and thought it would be a success if we had 40 people show up,” said Race Director Daryl Fauth of the event’s history in an interview. “The first year

we had close to 100. The next year it doubled, and ever since we’ve consistently had 300-600 participants.” Official race start time will be 10 a.m. at the Hailey Farmers’ Market lot, located between Sturtos and Washington Federal. “This year, the City of Hailey has really gotten behind the event and has offered up a great location for the start/ finish area ... this event really
helps kick off the holidays,” Fauth said. Race registration may be completed online at www. imathlete.com/events/haileyturkeytrot until 8 p.m. tonight. Turkey Trot participants may also register in person with event sponsor Blaine County Title, located at 360 Sun Valley Road in Ketchum, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Event organizers say race-day registration is also possible, but emphasize
Yay Trunk Show!
that race merchandise cannot be guaranteed for those who do not register ahead of time. The event helps raise money for Hailey-based nonprofits Souper Supper and Girls on the Run of the Wood River Valley. “The event has really surpassed my expectations and each year we try to add or enhance something about the race to make it a better race next year,” Fauth said. “This year, for the 11th annual race, we purchased a banner that goes across Main Street in Hailey to help advertise the event.” Fauth added that the event is focused on family and relies upon community support. “Families have made this part of their annual Thanksgiving tradition,” she said. “We have one family who has an 11-year-old daughter whose birthday is around Thanksgiving, and she has been at every Turkey Trot since she was born. One of the Turkey Trot traditions each year is that right before the start of the race, we sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to her.” Advanced Turkey Trot individual entrance fees are $15 per adult and $10 per child (17 and younger). Advanced family entrance rates are $40 per family of four, plus $10 for each additional member. Entrance fees on race day increase. Fees on the day of the event are $30 per adult, $20 per child, and $70 per family of four, plus $20 for each additional member. For more information, contact Fauth at 208-726-0700. tws

Future Firefighter Will Lamoureux BY JONATHAN KANE
W
ill Lamoureux, a kindergartener at the Community School, has dreams of becoming a firefighter. That’s why he decided, at the tender age of 5, to join the corps and be a part of the adopt-a-hydrant program that the Ketchum Fire Department has put in place to help clear snow from around the more than 300 fire hydrants in the city. Every winter, roughly 30 volunteers—working primarily adjacent to their properties—clear snow from around hydrants. “The program is now 10 years old,” said Lara McLean, a lieutenant paramedic with the department. “We get people to say ‘Hey—there’s a hydrant in front of my house—when it snows, I can shovel it myself.’ Every time there is a snowstorm, we have a lot of hydrants to shovel and we might have a lot of calls, so we can’t do it all. It’s in everyone’s best interest, and we really appreciate the help.” Will is by far the youngest volunteer the program has ever had. “Besides being the youngest, the great thing is that Will thought of it all by himself,” McLean said. “We go to the schools to do fire safety and he’s always the most excited. He likes to dress up and always comes and visits the station and he remembers all the great stuff we teach him.” Will’s mom, Deb Robertson, says that her son “has wanted to be a firefighter since he could talk. It’s so much fun to see him have this job and to be a part of it all.” For Will, it’s a dream come true. “I want to teach people how to be safe,” he says. “And I really want to be a firefighter, so it’s great to help with the hydrants. It really makes you feel special.” For McLean, who has been full time with the department for 11 years, “It is without question the greatest job in the world. I love it. To be able to help people is such a great way to be a part of this community. You never feel underappreciated and it’s great to be out there even if you are just shoveling hydrants.” tws
Will worked hard during the recent snowstorms to keep his adopted hydrant accessible to firefighters.

Ketchum Galleries and Studios To Open Friday BY MARYLAND DOLL

TRUNK SHOW: Esoterica Art Jewelry by Michele Black & Terrance Deemer Friday Nov. 28 2pm – 8pm • Saturday Nov. 29 11am – 5pm

www.JenniferBellingerFineArt.com
ith the holidays fast approaching and slack season wrapping up, many local artists and gallery owners are opening their doors a little wider to the public this week. “We knew we wanted to do something extra just after Thanksgiving to start the winter season off right,” said Wood River Fine Arts owner Sandy Gregorak in an interview. Gregorak and several other galleries in town, including Broschofsky Galleries, Frederic Boloix Fine Arts, Jennifer Bellinger Gallery, Lipton Fine Arts and Saddletree Gallery, will be holding extended hours from 4-7 p.m. on Nov. 28 as part of a post-Thanksgiving open house. Several other galleries in town will also extend their hours, but some will have different hours than others, so those interested in checking out the art should call ahead to see when the galleries they’re most interested in seeing will be open. The extended hours this year will take the place of the traditional Gallery Walk that the Sun Valley Gallery Association generally hosts on the Friday after Thanksgiving. “We usually set our dates at the Association two years in advance, but this year we decided to reduce the amount of gallery walks from nine to seven,” Gregorak explained. “However, we didn’t have enough time to reprint the gallery guides, so many of them still say we are having a Gallery Walk this day. We didn’t want to disappoint those who might still show up for the walk.” Wood River Fine Arts
will be showcasing new oil paintings by R.S. Riddick and Grant Redden, “both gold medal winners at this year’s annual Cowboy Artists of America show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum
in Oklahoma City,” according to a recent news release from the gallery. They will also be showcasing wildlife sculptor Richard Loffler’s work. Another treat will be at Frederic Boloix Fine Arts,

which displays work from an impressive array of world-renowned artists, including works from Picasso, Gustavo Acosta, Salustiano and Francoise Gilot. On the other side of Ketchum, in the light industrial district, artists Suzanne Hazlett, Judith Kindler, Christine Warjone and Kathryn Riedinger will open their studio doors to the public for an art celebration evening they are calling the “Art of Winter Studio Stroll.” The event will be on Black Friday, Nov. 28, from 4-8 p.m., with special Black Friday pricing on many of their pieces. “What’s special about our event is that it’s a studio event. Lots of people have been to galleries; they are beautiful and most everything is for sale, but work is not created in a gallery,” Hazlett said in an interview. Each of the artists participating in the Studio Stroll has developed unique and specialized techniques, and those are reflected in their studio spaces. Hazlett works in mixed-media art, particularly using a technique called encaustic painting. Her process involves 20 to 30 layers of wax, marbled plaster and clay poured over each other, as well as the addition of color pigments. “All the elements that help create my work come from nature, and the colors also reflect that,” Hazlett said. Her space is located at 481-A Bell Drive. Multidisciplinary artist Judith Kindler will feature the sculpture, installation and photography-based art she works with. “Because of the many
elements that Judith works with, it’s really a profound experience visiting her studio,” Hazlett explained. “It’s a much larger studio than many artists would hope to have.” Kindler’s studio is located at 110 Lewis St., #2 and #3. Impressionistic painter Kathryn Riedinger will display a new series of winter landscapes and Western studies, both plein air and larger studio works. Her studio is located at 231-B Northwood Way, #800. Finally, Christine Warjone will share her “travel-inspired works on metal and canvas, which demonstrate her passion for life, family and friends,” according to a recent press release from the group. Warjone’s studio is located at 110 Lewis St., #1. With their studios spread out between Lewis Street, Bell Drive and Northwood Way, the artists are calling that area the Ketchum Studio District and will guide visitors with Christmas lighting and traffic cones to help them find their way. “This is where we create, and that can be a different experience for viewers and collectors,” Hazlett said. “They will get to see the inspiration, to see the mess.” Both the Studio Stroll and the gallery extended hours are on the same day at roughly the same time, but that doesn’t mean they feel in competition. “More is more, everyone benefits in the end,” Gregorak said. “As an association, we want to provide as much as we can to the community and as a private gallery owner I feel the same way.” tws

CHALLENGER, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 six drivers could articulate independently and squeeze through the small radius of mountain curves. This innovation, designed by Swiss mechanical engineer Anatole Mallet, accommodated long trains with the unrelenting power strokes needed on the extensive inclines and sharp curves of the Rocky Mountain West. Following the independent sets of drivers, the trailing wheel truck had four wheels that supported the rear of the en-
UPRR Headquarter Yards in Omaha, Neb., on August 14, 1936. It was assigned to duty as No. 3900, and within hours of its appearance, a test run was proposed. The new locomotive was to pull heavy freight from Ogden, Utah, east across the Wasatch Range, followed by a speed run south to Green River, Wyo. Including the return trip to Ogden pulling a comparable cargo, it was all to be completed in a 36-hour time frame. One
Limited,” the early equipment was spartan but the food was good and there was plenty of it. Three meals cost less than a dollar a day. To encourage travel by single women and women with children, they added exclusive coaches just for them and eliminated any need for male traffic by placing the cars at the head of the train.

catered to the Streamliner elite. The “Challenger” chairlift on the Warm Springs side of Baldy was installed in 1988. The high-speed detachable quad ascends 3,124 vertical feet, a record rise in North America at the time. Considering engineering issues that diminish the efficiency and increase operating costs beyond this size, it is likely this record still holds. The haul-rope (i.e., cable) weighs 12 pounds per foot or 120 tons total. When 115 chairs and grips at 450 pounds apiece are added to the weight of the haul-rope, the comparable weight of 225 passengers on a full lift is almost insignificant. Ironically, the distance between chairs is 120 feet and graphically illustrates the length of the original “Challenger” locomotive that was just 10 feet less. Considered by the ski industry to be a superlative choice for vertical transportation in the Mountain West, the “Challenger” chairlift appropriately honors, by namesake, the locomotive, the train and a historical tradition of speed, comfort and romance. Enjoy the talk and enjoy the ride. Tony Taylor is a longtime Hailey resident and local history buff. He enjoys skiing on soft snow and training horses in his free time. tws

Baldy Jargon A Union Pacific Challenger locomotive pulls a mile-long train near Colores, Wyo., circa 1940. In the 1930s, the company’s growing rail network required an engine that could pull a mile and a half of loaded cars over mountains. The Challenger, built from 1936-47, provided the answer.

gine and a massive firebox. This arrangement of wheels is unique to the “Challenger” and in railroad shorthand talk would be designated as a “4-6-6-4.” Sometimes printed “oo000 000oo” to illustrate the configuration as seen from one side, it always added up to 20 wheels. In 1934, during the Great Depression, Union Pacific was financially solvent—a singular achievement in the existing rail industry. They understood the growing need for fast freight service more than most railroads. Their expansive network of lines in the western United States needed an engine that could pull a mile-anda-half procession of loaded rail cars over the mountains, unassisted. The first 4-6-6-4 locomotive was delivered to 12
of the Union Pacific superintendents commented, “That’s a challenge!!” The task was accomplished on the first try and a memo to the advertising department dictated a new nickname; The Challenger was to be used in all subsequent press releases and a new legend in the history of railroads was born. Passenger trains, even today, are subsidized by corporate profits generated in the freight business. Passenger service created a sense of romance and provided a human scale to the industry. This public perception was a great image-builder and a superb advertising tool. With this in mind, Union Pacific introduced “Challenger” passenger trains in 1937. Often called “ Everybody’s
gers, 24 hours a day. By 1937, a “Challenger” passenger train ran from Omaha to Los Angeles. The “San Francisco Challenger” was put on line shortly thereafter and dome cars were added to give these trains the feel of more expensive first-class Streamliners. “Challenger Domeliners” ran until 1971 and were the trains with added “special cars” that supported Sun Valley’s famous “Snowball Express.” They were integral to the early popularity of Idaho’s destination mountain resort. From the late 1930s until the last train departed the Ketchum Depot in 1973, the “Challenger Inn” housed and fed its “Challenger” guests with style and good taste and the more expensive Sun Valley Lodge

A
lec Poster, a senior at Wood River High School, had a life-changing experience in August of 2013. That’s when he went on a humanitarian mission to Guatemala with the Church of the Big Wood for nine days. For someone born and raised in the Wood River Valley, it was an eye-opening experience. “I love it here, ” Poster said. “There are so many outdoor activities, great people and it’s a great environment. I’ve been really happy here and I could see raising my kids here. The only negative is that because we all grew up together and know each other so well, it can lead to a lack of independence and an inability to solve problems. You need to be independent in order to be successful.” The trip to Guatemala was a complete success as well as a unique experience. “It was really humbling but also a lot of fun to completely immerse ourselves in another culture,” Poster said. “I had been involved with the church in other capacities and when the opportunity arose to go on this mission, I jumped at it. I also went with my three best friends and that made it special. “Our goal was to go down there and build a home to be shared by two families.
What amazed us was how substantial small things could be to them. We are so spoiled here by the beauty and by the wealth. “Where we were was in a cluster of 12 villages around a lake and it was completely poverty-stricken. It was so humbling because we worked with people that were so grateful and their conditions of life were so poor compared to us. To our standards, we couldn’t imagine living without insulation or running water, but to them it was a mansion. “At lunch, we would go buy candy and play catch with the kids and they were so happy. We saw more smiling faces there than anywhere in America and they have so little.” Fifteen people worked on the house and it took nine days to complete. “We did everything from laying the concrete foundation to building the structure,” Poster said. “Coming back was a little bit of a shock. Everyone’s on their phones and complaining about their WiFi being slow. or not having enough gas for their car. Playing on a phone would be beyond their wildest dreams and would be so much more special to them. “What I took out of it was that no matter who you are in America, you have so much more than they had. I learned the importance of doing what you can for others with what you have. There is always someone out there that has less than you.” tws
Local Food For Thought Let Food Drive Our Economy
Food Security in Blaine County BY BILL PEREIRA
I
daho’s Bounty is providing consumers in southern Idaho with vital links to locally grown and produced foods. Farmers’ markets abound with locally grown produce; we indeed are fortunate to live in the Wood River Valley. An additional component is being considered for our food system, one that will provide yearround access to locally grown fruits and vegetables. A processing plant with cold storage can provide year-round food security and year-round food availability for Wood River Valley residents. Under consideration is a facility regulated by USDA standards. The facility will grade, cool, wash, sort, sanitize, blanch, peel, chop, puree, package, label, bar code and palletize freshly harvested fruits and vegetables for flash freezing and cold storage. A proposed co-op would allow farmers, business interests, consumers, employees and institutions an equal voice in the operation of the facility. Year-round sales of targeted vegetables will benefit co-op farmers by providing income in off-season months. Value-added sales will increase the potential for profitability for all locally grown crops. Year-round jobs for locals would be created with the facility’s completion: quality control personnel, cooler specialists, electricians, facilities managers, mechanics, forklift drivers, truck drivers, line workers, package handlers, administrative staff, scale operators, sales persons and delivery persons. The facility being considered will be a self-sustaining operation. Discards from the processing operation will fuel a methane-gas-producing bio-digester. Residuals from the bio-digester will go back into the fields as organic fertilizer. Creating a year-round viable food system is food security. Creating positive cash flow for local farmers is food security. Creating jobs for locals and knowing where one’s food is grown is food security. Wood River Valley residents can set an example of sustainability for other communities to follow.

THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR NOV. 26TH FROM PICABO ANGLER
E
xcellent winter fishing weather is upon us. Low pressure, some cloud cover, and days above the freezing mark mean happy fish and happy anglers. We are still a bit early for the major midge hatches of winter, but excellent nymphing and streamer days are here. Anglers that want to fish The Nature Conservancy portion of Silver Creek have until the end of the week/month to get their licks in. Streamer fishing should be very good, as the brown trout population has come off the spawn with a need to fatten up quickly before the long months of winter set in. If you can’t make it this week, don’t fret, as Silver Creek downstream of Highway 20 remains open to catch-andrelease fishing through the end of February. If you decide to fish the Creek with streamers, use non-weighted flies and fish them just under the surface. Watch for the wake and the boil of water on the surface when the fish takes the streamer. It is a very visual and very fun way to catch fish on the Creek throughout the winter. Anglers looking at our freestone streams like the Big Wood, Little Wood and Upper Lost should be fishing standard nymphs in large sizes. Prince Nymph, Hare’s Ears and Girdle Bugs are great choices. Fishing them in tandem is also a great idea. Use a size 10 as a lead fly and then trail a size 18 or smaller midge pattern behind the lead fly. About a foot and a half is all that you need for the trailer. Make sure your indicator is able to float both flies and then cover some water! With the ski season starting this week, expect very few anglers out on our local rivers. If you decide to fish the Big Lost and are driving through Arco, don’t forget to stop and see us at Picabo Angler. We’ll put the right flies in your hand and, if you need a latté, breakfast or box lunch, we can help with that, too. Anglers fishing the Creek can stop in for a hot lunch here at the shop, and don’t forget roast chicken Fridays! Chukar and duck hunting has been excellent near Picabo this season. The waterfowl population is way up and the early snow has moved the chukars down the ridgelines. These conditions are great for hunters and yet another reason to come see us in Picabo! Happy fishing and hunting, everyone!

Year-End Financial Strategies
D
BY LORI NURGE
espite the hectic pace this time of year, it’s important to take time to assess your financial situation and look to see if there is anything that should be done by year-end, particularly as it relates to taxes. Though there are numerous tax-saving strategies, you should review your particular circumstances with a tax professional for your specific situation. Below are outlined some of the most common items to review:
Sheepskin Coat Factory
& FUR SALON
TRADE-IN TIME
Bring in your old coat for an upgrade to a new look for the upcoming season.
(upon inspection, trade-in value applies to new coat purchase)
511 Sun Valley Rd., Ketchum | 726.3588 www.sheepskincoat.com | brendaknorton@yahoo.com
Review Investments’ Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses Review your investment portfolio and determine whether it’s a good time to take capital gains or losses. Either scenario will have tax implications that you will want to discuss with your tax professional to see if selling some of your investments makes sense for your situation. Max Out Retirement Plan Contributions If you participate in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k), you have until December 31 to max out contributions. For traditional IRAs or Roth IRAs, you have until April 15 of next year to contribute ($5,500 to a traditional or Roth IRA for 2014 subject to limitations, plus possible catch-up contributions if you’re 50 or older). Again, consult your tax advisor for specific limitations or restrictions. Take Required Minimum Distributions from IRA and Retirement Plans If you are over 70 1/2, you must begin taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from your tax-deferred retirement accounts, such as a traditional IRA, SEP IRA, or 401(k). RMDs are not required of a Roth IRA or Roth 401(k). Fail-
living well
ing to take your RMD by certain deadlines can result in significant tax penalties. Your financial advisor or tax professional can help you calculate your RMD based on IRS guidelines. Roth IRA Conversion If you’re interested in converting your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you have until the end of the year. Just remember that the conversion is a taxable event in the year of conversion and all pre-tax dollars converted will be subject to ordinary income taxes. Consult a tax professional to see if a conversion makes sense for you.
Make Gifts to Loved Ones If you’re looking to reduce the taxable value of your estate, you can give up to the annual exclusion amount – $14,000 per individual in 2014; $28,000 for married couples—to any number of people without having to pay gift taxes and without the recipient owing income tax on the gifts. There are also year-end estate planning strategies to gift to 529 plans for a child’s education or directly to an accredited university during the time he or she attends. Donate to Charity Cash donations to charity are tax deductible if you file an itemized return. Also, if you have a stock that has appreciated in value, it may make sense to donate it to charity, as you will receive a tax deduction for the market value of the stock while avoiding having to pay capital gains on the sale. It’s important to note that there are limits specific to charitable contributions, so consult your tax advisor for details. Optimize Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) If your employer offers health care and/or dependent care flexible spending
accounts, consider taking advantage of these benefits during the year to help reduce your taxable income. You can contribute up to $2,500 to a health care flexible spending account or up to $5,000 to a dependent care flexible spending account. If you contribute to either of these accounts, be sure to spend down your balance before the end of the year. Maximize Health Savings Accounts (HSA) If you do not participate in a health care flexible spending account via your employer and you are enrolled in a high-deductible health care plan, you can contribute to a health savings account. The limits for 2014 are $3,300 for an individual and $6,550 for a family, with catch-up contributions for those 55 and older. You can contribute to the HSA until the deadline for filing your income tax return. Prepare for Tax Season Review your withholdings to make sure your employer isn’t taking out too much or too little. If you file an itemized return, review deductions such as property tax payments and determine if best to pay in current year or next year, depending on your current and anticipated income for those years. You can work with your financial advisor and tax professional to help determine which of these strategies could potentially assist you in reducing the amount of taxes you pay while helping you work toward your financial goals. But don’t procrastinate – time is of the essence!

hen you think of low-input gardening management strategies, consider the following: pest management, nutrient management, erosion control, and water management. There are several ways to reduce pests in your landscape by promoting plant and ecosystem health. Create garden diversity. Plant a combination of different types of plants in your garden to create varying conditions and habitats. Mix annual and perennial plants. Nutrient management strategies are essential to a healthy garden. Adding excess fertilizer to your garden ecosystem can cause serious imbalances. There are several ways you can reduce the need to bring fertilizers into your garden ecosystem. Compost is an excellent soil amendment that provides organic materials, microorganisms, and plant nutrients to the soil. Compost all plant materials such as leaves, grass clippings, and any seed-free weeds back into your garden; use it as mulch. Composting reduces garden inputs and eliminates the single largest output from home landscapes. This enhances the garden ecosystem while reducing the volume of materials sent to landfills. Soil loss is an output from your garden ecosystem that can damage surface water quality in nearby rivers, lakes, ponds and streams. Bare soil surface, light soil, and soil on slopes are particularly susceptible to soil erosion. In order to eliminate erosion, protect soil surfaces and keep your soil covered with living inorganic or organic mulch. Excess water use may result in nutrient leaching below the effective rooting depth of plants. This breaks the nutrient cycling within the garden ecosystem. Use only as much water as necessary and group plants according to water needs. This will make it easy to water them often enough to assure healthy growth. Be sure to design an efficient irrigation system and make sure that your irrigation system waters only areas containing plants, not sidewalks, decks, parking lots and streets. Using these management strategies will promote garden health, maintain a balanced garden ecosystem and lead to a healthy, self-sustaining garden. These strategies will result in a low-maintenance garden system requiring much lower inputs. With outputs curtailed, those products are put to use within the garden. This maintains garden health and beauty. Karen Loeffelman, Robert Mahler and Jo Ann Robbins are educators with University of Idaho’s Blaine County Extension.

Thinking Of Jack BY DICK DORWORTH
I
first visited Sun Valley in 1953 as a young ski racer and first lived here in the 1960s in that same capacity. In the early ’70s and mid-’80s I lived here a few years and in 1992 I reined in the peripatetic life and have been here ever since. As with many locals reading this (and not), skiing is the glue that binds over time, and skiing is more than mountains and snow and equipment; it is the culture and its individual people whose passion both holds it together and moves it forward. Though each member of any populace defines that community’s culture, there are always a few whose passion and personality leave a deeper and longer-lasting mark. For several reasons—including the privilege of spending a couple of hours talking with a group of students at the Community School, some of them members of the Sun Valley Ski Academy—and the approach of another eagerly anticipated ski season, I’ve been recently reminded of a man whose skiing legacy endures, one that, in my opinion, would make him smile. In 1963 Jack Simpson was instrumental in founding the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation of which the Ski Academy is a branch and his indelible mark on the ski culture is easy to see and a pleasure to note. In many ways, Jack epitomizes the history and culture of both skiing and business in Ketchum. Born in 1924 in Wendell, Jack moved to Ketchum in 1938 where his parents, Owen and Josephine, leased and ran the Griffith Grocery Store on Main Street as Simpson’s Cash Market until they bought and ran the Sawtooth Club. During the ’40s and ’50s, Owen and Jack’s business endeavors adapted to and butted heads with the changing gambling
and alcohol sales laws of a rapidly changing Idaho. In 1941, Jack was a stand-in skier for Sonia Henie in the film “Sun Valley Serenade,” of which Betty Bell has written in the Sun Valley Guide, “He skied all of the spectacular runs and cartwheeled through all of the spectacular crashes—but at the end of every crash the camera clicked off and didn’t click on again until it was back on a Hollywood set and zeroed in on Miss Henie wiping ersatz snow from her face. She never set foot in Sun Valley, poor thing—and Jack never shook his nickname—‘Sonia.’ ” Jack served in the military in World War II and, while skiing at Stevens Pass in Washington, in 1946, met Mary Lou Shaw, who he invited to visit Sun Valley. She did, and they were married in 1947. Jack and Mary Lou had three children: Mike, born in 1948; Pat, born in 1951; and Kelly Jo, born in 1961. In 1945, Jack’s parents bought the Warm Springs property which eventually became the Warm Springs Ranch Inn and which Jack and Mary Lou operated from 1960 until 1975. In the midst of raising a family and running several businesses, Jack coached and taught several generations of young Sun Valley skiers, including his own children, who were all accomplished racers. Pat became one of the best American ski racers of his time and is among the best locally grown ski racers of all time, winning the U.S. Junior National slalom by more than six seconds in 1967 and Sugar Bowl’s prestigious Silver Belt giant slalom in 1971; he is still active in Nordic racing. Mike died in 1999. Kelly and her husband Glen Allison are both avid skiers and are co-directors of the annual Boulder Mountain Tour. Jack died in 2000 and Mary Lou in 2008, but the legacy lives on. tws

Preseason Check list BY JIM SANTA
O
pening day on the mountain is upon us and some of our local Nordic trails are already open. Are you ready? To make those first days a little better, it’s time to check out the gear and be sure it’s ready. Let’s start with the feet. If you’re like me, I take some of my favorite footbeds out of the winter boots and transfer them to other footwear, like my running, hiking and cycling shoes. I speak from experience, it’s really a bummer to get to the hill or trail only to discover you’ve left your favorite footbeds in your mountain bike shoes and they’re home in the garage. If you’ve got boot heaters, it’s a good time to charge the batteries and be sure the elements are working. We have the testing equipment for this and would be happy to check them out for you. What about the skis? If you followed the recommended protocol, you had them tuned last spring and left storage wax on them. You’ll want to get the storage wax scraped off before you hit the hill (or trail). If you simply stashed the skis in the garage before heading for Maui or Moab, it might be a good idea to start the season with a fresh tune and consider getting your bindings tested while you’re at it. I happen to know where you can get this done. How about that jacket or pants that you spilled beer on at the closing-day party? Most waterproof fabrics love to be washed and will perform much better when they are clean, but be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Most suggest using mild detergents and there are products made specifically for waterproof fabrics such as Granger’s or Nikwax and don’t forget to retreat them with a DWR (durable water repellent) spray. Arctyrex has a great YouTube video on this subject, (www. tinyurl.com/tws-Arctyrex). Don’t forget to treat your winter boots and gloves while you’re at it. Conditions are shaping up for a great start to the season and getting all of our gear ready and in good working order will help make those first days on the hills and trails all the more enjoyable. Be safe out there and enjoy the start of what will hopefully be a great season—and don’t forget to smile and greet your fellow enthusiasts!

s many of my clients know, I am bringing home a puppy this Thanksgiving week. He will be the first puppy for me in seven years! There have been a lot of puppies in this house, but all have been service dog candidates. My new puppy’s name is Kalidor. He is a nine-week-old, long-coat, black German shepherd. I want to dispel the myth that puppies will take months to house train to stop biting, and that obedience training shouldn’t start until a puppy is 6-8 months old. I thought what might be fun is for my readers to see what I do with my puppies in a weekly diary! This week, my focus will be on teaching him his name, teaching him about marker training or clicker training, house training, crate training, no jumping and no biting, socializing him with my pack, and teaching him “sit,” “down,”

on and wait for him to look at me. When he looks up, he will surely sit. I click and treat for sit and say “sit.” When he looks up for another treat, I click/treat for looking at me and say “watch.” Then, we run outside to the place I want him to go potty. I wait for him to relieve himself. When he does, I click, name it, and wait for him to “come” running back to me for that treat. When he gets to me, I wait for him to sit, click/treat. Then I wait for him to watch me again. He gets one treat for relieving himself outdoors, sitting, watching me, and no jumping! Stay tuned for more next week!

“come” and “watch.” Sound ambitious? Not really. Many of these things I can combine very quickly. The first thing is going to be teaching him to recognize his name and come running when he hears it. I will wait until he is hungry, put him on a leash so I have him close at hand, then simply say his name and give him food from my hand. I want him to see that his name equals food. At the same time, I will not give him food if he is jumping or biting me. As this is going on, I slip in a click with the clicker as he is taking his food for his name. As he learns that “Kalidor” means food, I back away. As I say his name, he follows the food. Then I will introduce the word “come” while he is in the process of coming toward me. This is the only time I say “come” for several weeks. It is not yet a command. When Kalidor knows click means food, I can introduce “watch” and “sit.” I take him to the door with a leash

t’s always a tough position to be in when reviewing a kids’ animated flick. It’s best to take the temperature of the room and that’s the best way to approach Disney’s new animated sci-fi movie, “Big Hero 6.” The kids were generally entertained and I think that’s all that parents can ask for. For the adults, the movie may be a tad too long and a little short on the kind of humor that goes over the kids’ heads and keeps us grownups more entertained. Based on a Marvel Comic series that appeared in 1998, the

story follows five brainy student-geeks that fight crime with the help of a lovable robot. “Big Hero 6” is their introduction to a movie audience and is replete with the necessary backstory. The story and artwork also has a complete Asian-fusion element as it’s set in the city of San Fransokyo. The lead is a 14-yearold genius, Hiro Hamada, who spends his time fighting robots and gambling. His older brother studies at a M.I.T.-style university where he has developed the lovable Baymax, the hero of the film who he calls a personal care companion. Hiro longs to join his brother at the university, so he develops a robot

chip that is controlled by your mind and can take any form the heart desires. When his brother dies mysteriously, and the chip disappears, Hiro goes on an adventure with Baymax to find out the truth. Directed by Chris Williams, the movie has some thrilling sequences, among them f lying above and through the enchanting city and a wonderful car-chase sequence. I was a little lost on the entire Asian motif—maybe Disney has its eyes on the Japanese market. But none of this will matter to the little ones who will be enchanted by the whole ride. tws

beginning of the winter season, the migration of skiing visitors to our valley and the exultation of shop owners and local skiing and snowboarding fans. This is our time and we have been pretty patient for a long time. It’s time for the economy of Blatant County to soar and for us to all get well again. Black Friday announces the beginning of holiday shopping and people on the move in their vehicles while sliding into the ditch. We hope you will all drive responsibly and suppress the road rage that normally happens this time of year. It’s time to be patient, to be loving and kind and to be
thankful we are all here together one more year. We have lost a lot of our local loved ones this year. It’s a good time to reflect back on the good times we shared with those who have passed on and enjoy the company of those who remain. On behalf of our good friends with The Weekly Sun, Gorbs and I wish you the happiest of Thanksgivings and the very best for the coming holiday season. Love to all, from Matt & Chris and our talented co-workers. Now, we hope you all will enjoy our first Thanksgiving edition of The Blatant County News. Peace.

Signs You Had a Bad Thanksgiving 10 You ran out of booze at 11:00 a.m. 9 The most frequently used word at the dinner table was "Heimlich." 8 The meat was left over from last Thanksgiving. 7 Thanks to the new electric knife, the kids were occupied with who got the wishbone and who found your severed finger. 6 The turkey was wearing a dog collar. 5 You spent the day in Sun Valley waiting for the giant turkey to drop from the Opera House. 4 Your aunt Gladys passes out face first in the gravy bowl. 3 Your daughter and the twins lock you out. 2 Your turkey dinner was the only breast you touched all year. And the Number ONE sign you had a bad Thanksgiving 1 You awake from a trytophan-induced sleep to find yourself naked in the driveway.

The Way I See It... THANKSGIVING HISTORY
The Pilgrims came to America to escape religious persecution from their homeland – England. They wanted to find a place that would allow them to follow their beliefs. After being turned away from every civilized nation in the world, an Inca in Peru said: “Oh, you want America. They’ll go for anything.” So they turned around and sailed northwest for the “Promised Land.” The Pilgrims had trouble talk “crap” about ugly girls American locals took one passing through security and deny any gratifica- look at them, returned to in other lands because they tion of any kind to any- camp, began making arbelieved in equality for one.

Dear Dr. Spa, Last year at Thanksgiving, when the dinner came out, so did my son. I don’t need any more surprises this year. Any advice on how to prepare for the grand day? Signed, Sarah Tonen Dear Serotonin, Don’t forget to set your scales back five pounds. Thanksgiving is not a good day for your pants. Love, Dr. Spa
I’m excited about Thanksgiving because I love unwanted advice from relatives I see twice a year. Not a good day for “Depends.” I really don’t think I have an attention deficit disorder me a turkey sandwich. This is Thanksgiving, for God’s sake. You don’t stop eating until you hate yourself. Don’t you think that the Patriots and the Redskins should play on Thanksgiving Day, and then New England can steal their stadium. We’re going to have a real happy Thanksgiving. I’m stuffing the turkey with “Prozac.”
MISCELLANEOUS, TOO!
Her cooking was so bad, my kids thought Thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbor.
In hindsight, you like looking at Kim Kardashian.
Seeing the family is so “fab.” Next year, I’ll see them all in rehab.
My kid’s favorite crayon color is turkey meat.
I’m grateful there will finally be someone at Thanksgiving dinner able to intelligently discuss the latest issue of The Blatant County News.
This is the best time of year to disappear for four months. I sympathise with my haters. I wish I was good at something worth doing. You know you’re talking to your parents when they refer to him as “Your pal, Obama.” It’s hard to look cool when you’re on a bus because, well, you’re on a bus.

‘Taize’ Services Will Return To St. Thomas St. Thomas Episcopal Church, located at 201 Sun Valley Road W. in Ketchum, will begin a series of “Taize” services that will take place on Wednesday evenings during the dark months of winter. The candlelight services last about thirty minutes and are open to all members of the Blaine County community. They will take place at 5:30 p.m. at the Church on Dec. 3, 10 and 17; Jan. 7, 14, 21 and 28; and Feb 4 and 11. “The services are patterned on the worship style of Taize, which is a small religious community in France that was founded in the early 1940’s to promote ways to heal the divisions between Christians of all faith traditions, and among all religions in general,” states a recent news release from St. Thomas. For more information on Taize services in general, visit www.taize.org.

Church Seeks Funds For Restoration
organized by the American Baptists in 1900. They built a church on Second Avenue between what are now Galena and Silver streets. According to the release, leaders of the Baptist congregation met in 1929 with remaining members of the Methodist church and negotiated a property exchange. Since the property exchange, the facility at Croy and Second Avenue has been known as the Community Baptist Church.
Donations
Donations can be sent to: Community Baptist Church P.O. Box 1596 Hailey, ID 83353 For more information, call Pastor Dave Cesko at 720-6212.
T
he Community Baptist Church, located at 200 Second Avenue S. in Hailey, is currently seeking donations for a proposed renovation of the church building. “Inspection of the facility conducted in 2014 by AHJ Engineers, PC of Boise shows that the facility is in serious need of restoration,” states a recent news release from the Church.
AHJ recommends that repairs be made to the building’s roof, drainage system and bell tower, among other suggested improvements. “Here is an opportunity to help restore this historic place of worship in the Wood River Valley,” the release states. “Donations of any financial amount or quantity of materials needed to accomplish the recommended repairs would be greatly
appreciated.”
Building History
Early pioneers came to the Wood River Valley in search of the mineral wealth of gold and silver. To fill their spiritual needs, they built a number of houses of worship, including the Church. Built in 1886 by the Methodists, the Church was a single-room sanctuary with

BRIEFS
‘Thanks-GiveAway’ To Replace Black Friday? Citing disillusionment by the “stress and calamity” of Black Friday, a group of organizers across several states—including Wood River Valley and Boise residents—will this year start a new holiday tradition called ‘Thanks-GiveAway’ to take its place. Thanks-GiveAway Wood River will be celebrated on Friday from 10 a.m. to noon in the Minnie Moore room at the CSI Community Campus, located at 1050 Fox Acres road in Hailey. “Start by taking a look around your home. Find three things that you no longer need or no longer serve you but would make a nice gift for someone else,” states a recent news release from the event’s organizers. “Then, on the day after Thanksgiving, bring those things to your local Thanks-GiveAway meeting place and share those three things with others. Have a cup of cider, meet new people in your community and perhaps take home something to enjoy yourself. Help to start a new tradition of giving.” Any items left at the end of the day will be donated to The Attic. For more information, visit the group’s Facebook event at www.tinyurl.com/ tws-thanksgiveaway.

Memorial Planned For Schuldies & Cox Elevation 486 restaurant in Twin Falls will host a “Christmas On The Canyon” event to celebrate the lives of Leann Schuldies and Brianna Cox, who suddenly and tragically lost their lives on Nov. 15. “There will be great food, drinks, music, door prizes, silent and live auctions, as well as the lighting of the largest Christmas tree in southern Idaho,” states a recent news release from Elevation 486. “All products and prizes are being donated and 100 percent of the proceeds will be placed into a trust to help secure a brighter future for Leann’s four surviving children.” The celebration of life festivities will begin at 6 p.m. at Elevation 486, located at 195 River Vista Place in Twin Falls. Tickets will be on sale at the door for $10. The “Christmas on the Canyon” tree-lighting will take place at 8:15 p.m., and there will be no charge for that portion of the event. For more information or to help with the event, call Darsi Mason at 208733-9337. Financial donations for Leann’s children continue to be accepted through an online Go Fund Me account, and at any First Federal Bank in southern Idaho under the name “Leann’s Legacy Account”.
