P.M. FADDEN

ongtime Valley resident and children’s book illustrator Kim Howard will host a youth art session and presentation at the The Community Library in Ketchum’s Children’s Library on Tuesday at 4 p.m. The event will be free and open to the public and will incorporate a book signing of “Un Circo Mágico” (A Magic Circus)—a kids’ book that includes Howard’s illustrations. The event will also include a PowerPoint presentation about the travel, relationships and experiences that have inspired Howard’s illustrations. The limited-edition release of “Un Circo Mágico”—a book written in both Spanish and English—is “a story born from the fascinating efforts of entre amigos (between friends) and the good work those people are doing from one small village in Mexico,” Howard said in an interview. The event will be a continued initiative to spread awareness for the entre amigos—an entirely volunteer-powered nonprofit organization focused on innovative recycling methods and environmentally conscious living.

Sunday’s sunset bathes Ketchum in rosy hues (looking west toward Bald Mountain from Knob Hill). Each of the Wood River Valley’s mountain towns is gearing up for a great holiday season and, across the Valley, endless possibilities beckon for great times. tws

Mountain Canvas ‘Art Car’ Melds Valley’s Ski And Art Cultures BY MARYLAND DOLL

he city of Ketchum is believed by its Arts Commission to be the only city in the country that devotes five percent of its public capital improvement budget to the arts. Soon, the city and Sun Valley Co. will unveil another first that attests to the local community’s passion for art and for the mountain culture that has made the Sun Valley area world famous as a destination ski spot. A so-called “Art Car”—a gondola car that displays a vinyl wrap of a painting by local artist Ralph Harris—will go into service on Sun Valley Co.’s gondola line on Bald Mountain on Saturday.

There will be a special recognition ceremony at 8:45 a.m. on Saturday at River Run Plaza to pay tribute to the project’s financial sponsors, Ketchum residents David and Trish Wilson and Wilson Construction LLC. “There is a very strong partnership taking place between the art community, the resort and the Forest Service, and this gondola is proof of that growing relationship,” said Resort spokesman Jack Sibbach in an interview. The city’s Arts Commission partnered with the Resort, the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to get the gondola proposal in motion.

Local Chorus To Spread Holiday Cheer P.M. FADDEN

he Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus is bringing the holiday spirit to the Valley with three performances, Dec. 20, 22 and 23. These events are free and promise to be “an evening of fun and warmth for the whole family,” says chorus director Patty Parsons-Tewson. The Community Campus in Hailey will host the Dec. 20 performance, and Ketchum’s nexStage Theatre will be the venue for the performances on Dec. 22 and 23. Each of the three showings begins at 7 p.m. The chorus itself strives for uniqueness. “We are Idaho’s only full-time gospel chorus,” Parsons-Tewson said in an interview. The approximately 30-member ensemble has made a tradition of these events; the Hallelujah Chorus is currently in its fifth year of spreading holiday cheer throughout the Valley “This is our way of bringing Christmas to the Valley for our local residents and visitors alike,” Parsons-Tewson said. Each show’s program combines seasonal classics with inventive medley performances. “The chorus will be singing a White Christmas medley of Irving Berlin songs and a Hallelujah medley that ranges from Handel to Leonard Cohen’s moving ‘Hallelujah.’ ” chorus member Crystal Thurston said. “There will be songs from Broadway like ‘We Need a Little Christmas’ from ‘Mame,’ and ‘Children Will Listen’ from Sondheim’s ‘Into the Woods.’ There will also be plenty of festive sing-along classics, so be prepared to sing and clap!” The Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus is “riding high” in the wake of a very well-received concert welcoming during this fall’s Jazz Festival in Sun Valley. With that momentum, chorus members have dedicated themselves to ensuring these holiday performances shine as well as sing. Parsons-Tewson will direct the proceedings while husband Bill Tewson will lead as music director—his premier outing in the role. Other performers involved in the evenings include soloist locals Judith McQueen, Merrily

BY MARYLAND DOLL “Christmas can be many thing to many people, but for us, the holiday is a reminder of the birth of Christ,” says Evelyn Albrecht. Albrecht is a member of The Life Church of Sun Valley and one of the coordinators for its second annual “Live Nativity” event, which is a live reenactment of the events leading up to the birth of Christ. The live nativity scene will take place on Sunday, Dec. 21, from 5:30-7 p.m. at the site of the future home of The Life Church, located at the lot across from Albertsons in Hailey (the cross streets are North River Street and McKercher Boulevard). Over 50 people will be participating in this year’s nativity scene, which will be a part musical, part theatrical extravaganza. “It’s a totally live production, with some very exciting special guests,” Albrecht said in an interview. The “special guests” she referred to are live animals that will be brought in for

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

the reenactment, including three camels from Idaho Falls and locally raised sheep and donkeys. The Church is also pleased to announce that the guest speaker for the event will be Dick Williams of Boise, who will narrate the Biblical story of the birth of Christ. Though this is only the production’s second year, Albrecht said The Church has already received a very positive response from the community and many people have volunteered to help the effort. Volunteers include musical production assistance from Carola Hendricks and Rebecca Cox, as well as beautifully intricate costumes designed by Lindy Lewallen. Last year, the live nativity story had a gathering of approximately 350 people and The Church doesn’t expect those numbers to decrease any time soon. “Christmas is always the busiest time of year for us,” Albrecht said. “We like to bring a spiritual focus to the holidays and we are so thankful to live in a community that not only

december 17, 2014

respects our beliefs, but encourages them.” The new church is expected to be completed by mid-spring of next year. Currently, The Church is located in the Woodside subdivision in Hailey at 3140 Snowbank Dr. Beside being an important and family-friendly event for the church, church officials hope the nativity scene will raise awareness of the new location and help bring new members to the parish. The live nativity is a free event, The Church will greatly appreciate donations. The church will provide hot chocolate and cookies for attendees to enjoy. Audience members are reminded to bring their own chairs, blankets and warm clothes because the event is outdoors and seating is, unfortunately, very limited. “Putting it all together really becomes a community effort,” Albrecht said. “This whole valley is known for the fantastic way it celebrates Christmas and we wanted to be a part of that, but from a spiritual standpoint.” tws

Soldier Mountain At 66 Ski Area Seeks ‘Snow Angels’

BY DICK DORWORTH

his winter will be Soldier Mountain’s 66th season as a family-oriented ski hill. Located 10 miles north of Fairfield, Soldier Mountain is an hour’s drive from Hailey and will open December 26, snow conditions permitting. It was started by two Fairfield non-skiers, Bob Frostenson and Harry Durall, who enjoyed watching the tryouts for the 1948 Olympic ski team in Sun Valley so much that they were inspired to learn how to ski and, more, build a local Camas County ski area. By January 1949, they had constructed the first lodge and installed two rope tows and opened what was originally called Soldier Mountain Ski Lift. “In keeping with the

founders’ view that families should play together, they promoted Soldier as a family destination, and the vast majority of early skiers hailed from the Camas Prairie,” a history of the area includes. “However, interest in skiing was increasing in the post-war years and new skiers were attracted to the venture.” Because of that interest and those new skiers today, Soldier Mountain is still a family-oriented ski area with customers from beyond the Camas Prairie, two double chairlifts and a “magic carpet” surface lift, a new lodge, 1,150 skiable acres with a vertical drop of nearly 1,500 feet, a backcountry snowcat operation that offers 2,100 vertical feet of terrain with an overnight yurt and a ski school and rental shop. There have been a series

of owners over the years, the best known of them being Bruce Willis, the Hollywood actor, who had grand plans for making the family destination into a major ski area. Those plans came to naught, as often do the plans of many small ski areas seeking to grow, and as Willis began to cut his ties to Idaho in 2012, he donated the business to a new nonprofit organization called Soldier Mountain Ski Area. In addition to sufficient snowfall for the planned Dec. 26 opening, Soldier Mountain is looking for “snow angels” and other sources of funding to keep the ski area running and, looking to the future, to install two already-paidfor chairlifts. The ski area is also seeking to build overnight cabins at the base of the mountain for families that want a mini-vacation. continued on page 12

Students of Footlight Dance Centre, directed by Hillarie Neely, are very excited about the unveiling of their new jazz ballet dance, and the group will be costumed in bright red sashes so they might appear on the stage as moving Christmas gifts. The nonprofit chorus is also looking excitedly to its future performances. Beyond this holiday season, the chorus is preparing for a show later this winter that will combine the chorus’ talents with those of 10 tenors from Haiti. The show will be headlined by the soulful “Three Mo’ Tenors.” “That show is set to take place in late February—National Black History Month—and is meant to honor that culture through music,” Parsons-Tewson said. The all-volunteer Hallelujah Chorus proudly brings its performances freely to the public, but also reminds that donations are always deeply appreciated. A $10 donation to the Ketchum performances is respectfully suggested. “There will be a special Patron Party for $25 for those who would like premiere seating, hors d’oeuvres and wine and to express support for the chorus,” Thurston said. Parsons-Tewson could not be more thrilled for the events. “Gospel is a passion and message of hope,” she said. “It is a universal language.” tws

GONDOLA, continued FROM page 1 project as an extension of its recent “Cover Art” project, whose first undertaking was to wrap all the utility boxes in downtown Ketchum in a unique piece of original artwork that, as Commission chairperson Claudia McCain explained, “represented our unique mountain culture and lifestyle while linking art and our environment here in Sun Valley.” Ketchum established the Commission in 2007 with the mission of integrating arts and culture into the community’s life. After the success of the utility box project over the past few years, the Commission was ready for another idea that would allow the art community to interact with the general public, and the Art Car venture became just that. The vinyl wrap, which depicts scenes from the nearby Boulder Mountains, was installed by Windy City Arts in Hailey. “We’ll pretty much wrap anything,” said Windy City owner Troy Larsen in an interview. “But, obviously, this was the first time we had ever wrapped a gondola! It was pretty cool to be a part of something like this, and especially if it’s the first in the U.S.” Larsen said when Har-

ris brought his painting to Windy City, it was about two feet by three feet in size. The next step was to find the best way to get a painting of such dimensions into Photoshop so Larsen’s team could manipulate the image and print the wrap. “We had to photograph the image, then enlarge it on our computers,” Larsen explained. The Windy City team then broke the image up into several panels and carefully laid out in Photoshop how each panel would fit and cover the gondola. “Finally [we printed] it on special printers we have in house that print on vinyl,” Larsen said. Larsen chose to use a special perforated wrap— the same that can be seen on Mountain Rides Transportation Authority buses—which allows people to see out from inside the gondola, but those outside the gondola see only the painting. The project took Windy City a full day to complete. Beside creating the artwork for the wrap, Harris has worked as a Sun Valley ski instructor for the past 40 years and as an illustrator for several ski magazines and the U.S. Ski Team. His work has been featured in posters for both the Sawtooth Nation-

al Recreation Area and its place on Baldy, it will play the lustrous partnerKetchum’s annual Wagon surely mark the mountain ship of beauty and play that Days Parade. as one of the most artistic can be found in Sun Valley. “Harris’s long history ski areas out there and it tws in our community makes will both capture and disit even more appropriate that his artwork will be gracing the Art Car,” McCain said. Suzanne Hazlett, co-founder and president of the Wood River Valley Studio Tour Inc., said in an interview that a very passionate mountain and art culture is currently being cultivated in the area. The Studio Tour is a relatively new summer event during which several local artists open their studios to the public for an entire weekend. Next summer’s Studio Tour will be the third annual. “In our community, we are fortunate to enjoy the abundance of arts experiences found in what may be considered by some as a remote Idaho region,” Hazlett said. “This is due in part to the number of artists seeking out the Wood River Valley as a place to relocate, to create, to network and to find support among the inner community of creatives. We want to contribute to enriching our Valley’s way of life for our year-round neighbors, as well as our visitors.” Once the Art Car takes Ketchum Mayor Nina Jonas and artist Ralph Harris celebrate the unveiling of the so-

n Saturday, a pair of 16-year-olds from Pocatello spent the day hucking jumps on Bald Mountain, using the snow guns to launch themselves off of the snow and into the thin mountain air. Why Sun Valley? The skiers, Braxton Koffin and Jon Treasure, said ski areas closer to Pocatello are not yet open. Braxton and Koffin both said Sun Valley is a “sweet place” and that they visit the area when they can. “Beautiful view,” said Treasure. “We had fresh snow this morning and we shredded that.” Braxton added that the area gives off a ton of “good vibes,” beyond the fresh powder. “Make sure you put that down,” he said with a smile.

ocal cage fighters Lee Anderson, owner of USA Grappling Academy in Bellevue, his son Storm Anderson and training partner Julie Daniels all won their fights at the “King of the Streets” event, promoted by Gladiator Challenge, in Elko on Saturday, Dec. 6. Lee Anderson, 43, won his fight in the first round, after just one minute and 28 seconds. He took a big punch from his opponent before achieving a takedown and securing the fight. Storm Anderson, 20, made quick work of his opponent, coming out of the gate fast with an impressive takedown, which led to him winning the fight in only 25 seconds. Daniels demonstrated her footwork with several kicks, punches and elbows that stopped her opponent in just 28 seconds. In a recent news release from the Academy, Lee Anderson states that he feels fortunate to live in a high-altitude place where running along the river and in the mountains daily can really make a difference in an athlete’s conditioning. There were about 150 people in attendance from the Wood River Valley that traveled to Nevada to cheer for the local athletes, the release states. tws

Hit The Gym For The Holidays Tips From Professionals

BY K. HOFFMAN

he holiday season is in full swing, and with it comes an abundance of festivities—the celebrating of family and friends, the holiday work parties, the last-minute shopping, the overindulgence of food and drink, and the leftovers—so many leftovers. All of this holiday cheer can leave little time to exercise and even the most dedicated and motivated athletes can get a bit sidetracked this time of year. To help get you back on track, Cameron King, fitness director with the Blaine County Recreation District (BCRD) and a certified personal trainer, and Rob Webb, trainer at High Altitude Fitness and strength and conditioning coach for Sun Valley Ski Team, have offered up some insights, tips and exercises to get you started. The first step in getting fit for your favorite winter sport is “getting a gym membership and actually using it!” says King. “People say they’re not ‘gym’ people, but by focusing on the things that you can do really well in the gym, like strength training and balancing exercises, you will have better results on the slopes. “Working out becomes even more important as we age, because we need to be stronger and more nimble to avoid and prevent falls,” King adds. Robb Webb, trainer and strength and conditioning coach, says the three most important things to focus on at the gym are weight training, cardio and mobility training. Mobility training includes flexibility, and “flexibility and stretching are crucial for performance as well as injury prevention,” Webb says. King believes that “functional strength training (strength built by doing real-life movement patterns), combined with joint mobility and balance exercises, are great to focus on in the gym or in a class where you’ve got a controlled environment and all the ‘toys’ and props at your disposal. “It is an important but often overlooked part of preparation for most of our outdoor pursuits,” King says. “Cardiovascular fitness is excellent, but without additional strength building, you can only get so far.” Some examples of balance training exercises include squats and single stepping lunges. To build strength and agility, some examples of exercises that can be done both at home or at the gym include jumping rope, box jumps, and jump squats. King recommends lateral leaps for agility where you “stand with both feet close together and knees slightly bent. Push powerfully off your right foot and jump sideways with your left, landing with the knee slightly bent to absorb the force. End with the right foot beside the left. Repeat with left foot.”

Working out at the gym should involve an exercise regimen that fits you and that begins slowly and methodically, with controlled and non-explosive movements. It’s also important to make sure you give your body a day between sessions to recover. “Fitness should be a lifestyle, not a once-a-year endeavor,” King says. “If you would like to get back in shape or expand your fitness, start slowly and in a pattern that is sustainable for your life. Recent research has shown that we can be fit and healthy even at a slightly heavier weight. Don’t aim for ‘skinny.’ Aim for healthy and strong! We all come in different shapes and sizes. Be sure you’re trying to be your best and not someone else’s ideal.” BCRD is located at 1050 Fox Acres Dr., Ste. 107, in Hailey; for more information, call 208-578-2273 or visit www.bcrd.org. High Altitude Fitness is located at 251 Northwood Way in Ketchum; for more information, call 208-726-1959 or visit www.highaltitudefitness.com. tws

Athletes should always warm up before exercise and gradually increase the time and intensity of their workouts. Courtesy photo

THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR DEC. 17TH FROM PICABO ANGLER

this week

wednesday, 12.17.14

he Christmas season is upon us and this normally signals the first large Midge hatches of the winter. If you don’t see fish working the surface on the Big Wood this week, you will very, very soon. With that in mind, let’s review some favorite winter dry-fly techniques and patterns. The Trailing Shuck Midge or the Tie-Down Midge (size 20) are flies you must have in your fly box for winter. These are best paired and fished with the Griffiths Gnat or Midge Cluster (size 16), the idea here being that the Midge fly is too small to see as it sits in the film with very little profile. The Griffiths Gnat, on the other hand, stands out like a sore thumb against the winter glare on the water’s surface. With this setup, anglers can fish a fly they can see, and still set the hook on a fish that comes up near that fly, with the idea that anything rising within a foot of the highly visible Gnat will be eating the Trailing Shuck pattern. Fish these flies on 6X tippets and tie about 18 inches of 6X between the two patterns. Stealth is also a key to fishing the Midge dry. Because the fly is so small, it becomes important to be close. Casting accuracy is at a premium when fishing dry in the winter, and the closer you are, the better. One of the biggest mistakes winter dry-fly anglers make is trying to walk right up on a spot because the glare on the water gives a false sense of cover. Anglers using a low-profile approach and natural colors in their apparel will catch more fish. The places to look for rising fish in the winter include slow-moving riffles that are thigh to waist deep, back eddies and any heavy foam-line. The times to look are between the hours of 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. The Big Wood is normally the first to have big hatches in the winter. The South Fork of the Boise and the Lost River also have decent dry-fly action all winter, although the action is not daily like it almost always is on the Big Wood. Silver Creek has decent Midges but, unfortunately, the biggest hatches are after the season closes in the spring. The Creek does have incredible Streamer fishing in the winter for anglers looking to catch true trophy trout!

Circo Mágico, continued from on page 1

“Un Circo Mágico” tells the story of a circus that brought magic to one small village. Courtesy graphic

Howard describes the village of San Pancho, in Mexico, as “a beautifully authentic community that has grown as a model village for Mexico.” While on a working visit there, she came in contact with the organizer of entre amigos and was given a tour of the organization’s location. “I was blown away at the completely open, creative environment of entre amigos’ facilities,” Howard said. “There, people from all over the world work together to innovate new ways to give renewed life to products, containers, and other items normally discarded.” What Howard saw so impressed her that she urged entre amigos’ organizers “...to make a book out of this. Are there any stories locally that we could use to tell the tale?”

The volunteers of entre amigos, along with the villagers themselves, had just the right story to tell. “Creative mastermind and founder of Cirque du Soleil, Gilles Ste Croix, had previously come to San Pancho,” Howard said. “He focused his skills on the formation of a unique circus made entirely of re-used village products. Ste Croix and entre amigos taught the village children how to use what they had around them to create an imaginative spectacle for all to enjoy.” “Un Circo Mágico,” is the colorful and creative result of those collaborative efforts. The village children’s many hands were involved in the story’s artistic representation. They, along with Howard, channeled their love of their home and individu-

al styles into shaping the pictorial tale. Through both the event and the book, Howard wishes to spread awareness across the Wood River Valley for organizations like entre amigos. “There are so many wonderful people in our area that could help causes like entre amigos and, alongside motivated people, those causes can accomplish great things,” she said, adding that the success of her current project will be an important factor in the progress of her future project—a two-month return journey to volunteer on a new book, but, more importantly, any success will directly contribute to the advancement of recycling education and sustainable living practices.

‘From Pilgrim To Pilgrim’ The Community Library in Ketchum currently has a photography exhibit on display titled “De Peregrina a Peregrina” or “From Pilgrim to Pilgrim” by Mónica Guerrero Mouret. “[The exhibit] tells a story of the annual pilgrimage taken by thousands to the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico City,” states a recent news release from the Library. “The photographs on display are a visual narrative, showing a December tradition that has developed for almost 500 years. The exhibition consists of 50 images showing fatigue, smiles, looks, bare feet, flowers, songs, costumes and prayers of men, women and children, who are all Mazahua Indian pilgrims from the State of Mexico. Working on this exhibit has led Mónica Guerrero Mouret to publish a book under the same title, which was delivered to Pope Benedict XVI last year, during his visit to Mexico.” The exhibit is on loan from the Mexican Consulate in Boise and will run through December. “We at the Library are honored to partner with the Mexican Consulate to display these vibrant photographs,” states Jenny Davidson, the Library’s executive director, in a recent news release. “In this season of giving, they provide a thoughtful, artistic chronicle of devotion.” The Library is located at 415 Spruce Avenue in Ketchum. For more information, call 208-726-3493. 18

The vivid expression in the books artwork is due to the joint efforts of both Howard and local youth.

Hailey Hulett Fashion Sense

Fashionista Hailey Hulett. Courtesy photo

BY JONATHAN KANE

ood River High School senior Hailey Hulett has a real sense of style and hopes to turn her love of fashion into a career. “I love fashion because it’s always changing, and there are new styles and trends,” she says. “When I tell people that I want to do fashion, their response is always ‘What?!’ I guess it’s not normal. Most people would say they want to be something like an engineer. I’m just not like that.” It all started for Hulett when she was a child. “My mom and grandma always shopped with me and dressed me in cute clothes,” she says. “That really sparked the interest to do something in the field. As a family, we would also watch Project Runway and it inspired me to go into fashion design but that changed this summer when I took a workshop where we made patterns, did cutting and measurements, and I decided that I wanted to something more in the way of marketing or owning my own store.” Hulett’s love of styling started early. “My mom and I would shop for outfits and then we would pick out what I’d wear that day,” she says. “I was always the one wearing matching pants and a shirt—certainly not what the other kids were wearing. I got a lot of comments from the parents. Now my friends always ask me my

opinion of what they should wear. I love that! I still watch shows and sometimes I draw sketches of outfits I like but I’d really like to be a stylist for celebrities or everyday people. A celebrity has so many clothes that it would be heaven for me to have the capability of such a wide amount of options to choose from.” Hulett now finds herself drawn to merchandising marketing, which includes both marketing and advertising. “Design is just not for me, so I need another area and I read about marketing in a college curriculum,” she says. “Merchandising marketing stood out because it has styling and a business aspect. You also get to study trends and I was able to see the book for 2015. It also embodies the history of fashion and ties into how to be successful when owning a store.” Hulett’s “main goal” is to one day own her own store. “It would be great to be part of a high-end franchise that would specialize in men and women that have to be dressed up all the time and would include bags and shoes and nice suits for the men,” she says. “It would also be great to start small in a place like Los Angeles and then expand. Maybe someday I’ll even have a store here in Sun Valley! I would be so excited to be working in fashion that I’d be happy doing anything. I’d be happy to start at the bottom and do whatever I can to be successful.” tws

The Advocates, ETC

ETCs Enter Writing Contest BY HEIDI COOK

The Advocates’ ETC (Every Teen has a Choice) teen interns recently entered a statewide writing contest hosted by the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence. The contest, titled the “Love What’s Real Writing Challenge,” required

the ETCs to submit entries that were 75 words or less in response to one of four writing prompts. The ETCs’ submissions include the following poems by Wood River High School seniors Bailey Cleven, Avery Closser and Kenya Schott:

Women

One Thought

Kindness

BY KENYA SCHOTT

BY BAILEY CLEVEN

BY AVERY CLOSSER

Women, weak, frail, dainty. Men, strong, dominant, muscular. Men vs. Women. A relationship is a game of power and control. Gender roles define us, dictate who we are. We act as dolls, playing the parts, Living in chains, never breaking free. Unrealistic standards, fake identities. Constrained to stereotypes. Relationships ruined by what we are supposed to be. Reading lines, acting on stage, the falsified couple. Join the game, grab your script, and play your role.

One thought Violence is not the answer One action Speaking up when violence occurs One collective thought Violence won’t be tolerated In this school In this community In this state In this country In this world

Soft voices and sweet actions represent simple, compassionate acts, and things change when one learns to be kind. As soon as arms are taken against cruelty, the fact is that The ambition of human bonds will transform and we might find peace.

One person One thought One action One world Without a culture of violence

Everyone should realize that this sensational generosity, overwhelming concern, Love and emotion, is not just a dream. It’s a possibility. Imagine if we could learn. Imagine that this begins tomorrow, today, right now.

Holiday Meals The Hunger Coalition

lanning holiday meals can be an exciting, joyful task—making a shopping list with exotic ingredients, watching cooking shows and taking notes of techniques and dishes, and pairing wine to go with your dinner. Many of your neighbors will be planning their holiday meal—just as excitedly, maybe—but on a much stricter budget. This time of year, let’s take note of our holiday meal table and think of what it looks like compared to our neighbor’s table. Ours may be filled with plates full of fresh vegetables, European cheeses, homemade breads and an expensive ham or turkey. Others may have a processed frozen microwave dinner and some canned vegetables. Fortunately, we live in a community that is known for its generous spirit. Over the holidays, an army of volunteers and supporters come together to provide Thanksgiving and Holiday baskets of food for hungry families through The Hunger Coalition and the Sawtooth Board of Realtors. respectively. For the last 17 years, Souper Supper has been providing two hot meals a week to the community every Monday and Thursday. Ketchum Community Dinners provides a free, hot meal to dine in or take out on Wednesdays, October through May. And on a daily basis, The Hunger Coalition is ensuring that people are fed the remainder of the year. Consider the upcoming holiday through

the eyes of Josh, who recently moved to the Valley for a promising job. While the job is very fulfilling, it pays less than $1,000 per month. After taxes, medical insurance and rent, Josh is left with fewer than $20 per month for food. The next time you are at the checkout stand at one of our grocery stores, think about how much food $20 will buy. Approximately 80 percent of people seeking help from The Hunger Coalition are employed; they simply don’t earn enough money to make ends meet. As we sit down to our plentiful holiday meal and unwrap the plethora of gifts under the tree, let’s be grateful for what we are blessed with. Over the last few months, firefighters, churches, schoolchildren, businesses and volunteers have reached out to make a difference by ensuring that our friends and neighbors are receiving the most basic of needs: food. Living in a community that truly values the health of its children and families, and shows it through its actions, is something for which we should always give thanks. The Hunger Coalition’s mission is to end hunger in the Wood River Valley community by providing wholesome food to those in need and by promoting solutions to the underlying causes of hunger through collaboration, education and advocacy.

financial planning

A Taxing Time BY WENDELL CAYTON

ith snow on the ground and below-zero temperatures at home, we are turning the corner from fall to winter, so now is a good time to do tax planning for the coming year. As is typical, Congress will probably wait until the last minute to revive a series of tax breaks that lapsed at the end of 2013. On the table are deductions for state sales taxes as well as the allowance for direct transfer from IRAs to a charity of up to $100,000 for those over 70 1/2. Proceeding on the assumption that Congress will enact no major tax laws before the end of the year, we can focus planning on things to do for 2014 and things to think about for 2015. Given that tax rates are not changing, it may make sense to accelerate deductions into 2014, providing you are not looking at being in a higher bracket for next year. If that’s the case, accelerate income into 2014 and defer deductions into 2015… if you can. Since we can still deduct state and local income taxes, mail in your estimated 2015 tax payment in late December for a 2014 writeoff. If you are planning on making a large charitable contribution in 2014, be sure your check is mailed before the end of December. Another charitable trick is

to gift appreciated stock you have owned for more than one year instead of cash. You get the full value of the deduction and avoid the capital gains tax. Next year you can plan on putting more into your retirement plan. The IRS is raising the maximum 401(k), 457, and 403 (b) plan contributions to $18,000; if you were born before 1966 you may put in $24,000. If you are contributing to a Simple IRA, the ceiling is going up $500 to $12,500. The salary limitations for contributions to profit sharing, SEP and other defined contribution plans is increasing to $265,000, raising the total contribution limit to $53,000 for 2015. Gifting limitations are a common topic. Anyone may give to any other person an annual exclusion amount of $14,000 in 2014 without having to file a gift tax return. A married couple may gift $28,000 to that person. The beneficiary of the gift does not have to pay taxes on the gift if it is in the form of cash. On the other hand, if the gift is an appreciated security, the beneficiary will take over the cost basis of the giftor and pay capital gains taxes when they sell the asset. Those with larger estates that may be exposed to potential estate taxes upon their death, and who wish to make gifts to college students, are not limited to the $14,000, if they pay the college directly. These funds

may be used for tuition, fees, books, and room and board if the money is given to the college to dispense. With some college costs exceeding $50,000 a year, a grandparent, for instance, could gift the $50,000 directly to the college for the student’s benefit, and give the student an additional $14,000. This is an ideal way to reduce one’s estate for future estate tax purposes. While we are on the subject of college costs, a giftor can put the annual exclusion amount into a Section 529 plan for future education expenses. The investment in the plan grows taxfree and comes out tax-free if used for qualified college expenses. If the giftor wishes to give a larger amount, they may give up to five times the annual exclusion limit. This counts for five years of gifts.

BY WOOD RIVER FARMERS’ MARKET

ast-minute holiday shopping in the Wood River Valley will never be the same now that the Wood River Farmers’ Market will hold its first “Holiday Market” on Tuesday, Dec. 23, from 1-5 p.m. in Ketchum Town Square. For more than 15 years, the Farmers’ Market has maintained its focus and dedication to regional and local food purveyors, as well as artisan sellers, to become a summer shopping staple in the Wood River Valley. “There was a strong desire from some of the vendors to try a holiday market during Christmas week when town is bustling with the excitement of the holiday spirit,” said Wood River Farmers’ Market Manager Kaz Thea. “We hope the public will respond with the same enthusiasm they share for the summer markets, June through October, in Ketchum and Hailey. It’s a wonderful opportunity to support the local economy as well as the regional growers and artisans of food and crafts.” More than 20 vendors have committed to the Holiday Market, which will also include music, carolers and a last-minute visit by Santa Claus. From pottery and recycled glassware to pasta sauce, lamb and baked goods, the Holiday Market will have an array of handmade gifts and holiday treats that are unique, sustainable and all made or grown in Idaho. Those interested in checking out the Holiday Market will find exceptional lotions, delicious fruits, unique dog treats, cozy scarves, pottery, glassware, fleece, health remedies and tasty mustard and pretzels. “It’s all local, vendor-made, grown or raised within a 100mile radius,” said Thea, who hopes the inaugural Holiday Market will mark the beginning of a new Valley tradition. “There’s no resale, a market rule, so everything is a locally-made product and jury picked, so it’s of the highest quality.” For a complete list of vendors or for more information, visit www.wrfarmersmarket.org, e-mail wrfarmersmarket@ gmail.com or call Thea at 208-720-7805. brief

BY CONNOR WADE Oh spilled noodle dish! How you wallow in your terrible state, in sloppy disrepair on the sidewalk there. You suffocate, yes, drown, in a morbid pool of marinara. Your savory cheese filling, your very lifeblood, oozes from your soggy shell. How much happier would you be if your consumer-to-be could only see that the gravelly ground is no place for a noodle dish?

Though you would rather frolic in the depths of His intestines, even the cold metallic mouth of the waste bin is an inviting alternative (its mocking frame stands just feet away). “Ah Hell!” “God dammit!” One inattentive misstep and dignity is mashed, in whole, down into the cracks. What is He doing now? How could He abandon you after your graceful fall? Up! Up! Then down… …then… SPLAT! Did He return within to acquire another aliment? Has He betrayed your tasty trust? Is He contentedly licking the sauce of another dish from His gluttonous lips? But what does it matter now? You are just one noodle dish, squished, and staining the sidewalk. Connor Wade grew up in the Wood River Valley and currently resides in Ketchum. He teaches high school math at Community School and plays in the local folk-rock band “The Sheep Bridge Jumpers.”

Fact: People would rather die than public speak. Or, as Comedian Jerry Seinfeld would say, ‘That means you’d rather be in the box than give the eulogy.’

Three ‘F-Words’ BY JOELLEN COLLINS

s a young woman, I never—ever—said the “F” word. My circle thought that usage connoted a tough, unladylike and ignorant person whose vocabulary was limited. I respected the concept and hated the word until, as a filmgoer and reader, I became inured to its impact. I hardly notice it now. However, there are still three “F” words that haunt me even in maturity. I am still limited by fear, frustration and failure. I am fearful of the random events of a hostile world, especially for my grandchildren who will grow up in this maelstrom of violence. I was shocked when at Thanksgiving one of the older boys said that in some countries parents cut out the tongues of boys who misbehave. My grandson fled the table in tears. I can only conquer that blinding clutch at my heart by—along with their family, friends and schools—giving him the love and sense of safety all children deserve. I have no control over the sadness of the world except for trying to be the person my mother exhorted me to be, one who “leaves the world a little better for your having been in it.” Frustration is a natural reaction to my own tendency to be timid about taking assertive ways to implement plans and projects. Right now I am pursuing a promising activity and need to wade through the instruction, learning and training involved. Because of some of my anticipation regarding rapidly changing technology, I have procrastinated in tackling some complexities. It helps to realize that, in the context of challenges we all face, this is doable. When I finish writing this column, I will immediately turn my attention to this

project. Even though modern thinkers have taught that failure doesn’t need to impede future success, my 5-year-old grandson hates to fail: It’s not O.K. He hasn’t yet absorbed the current idea that experiencing failure is a way to learn and thus improve. Watching his first soccer match in kindergarten, I was pleased that coaches emphasized good sportsmanship and the joy of the game rather that the need to be the best at it. This is the beginning of a long series of tests wherein experiencing failure is as much a part of life as is growing and being strong for its challenges. Still, my heart aches for my little guy’s future disappointments. Somerset Maugham in “Of Human Bondage” espouses that maturity is a process of disillusionment, a series of experiences where one learns to accept reality. We are limited by our physiognomy, heredity and circumstances in ways we cannot always control, an often bitter growing up. I’ll never be a super athlete; a fairytale world is not possible. Nonetheless, I can still embrace my cockeyed optimist self with occasional reality checks. tws

movie review

Jon rated this movie

‘The Homesman’ Eastward Ho!

BY JONATHAN KANE

esterns are not normally defined as feminist, but the fine new film “The Homesman,” from director and star Tommy Lee Jones, is just that. This is Jones second feature and he has scored nicely with this adaptation of a ’60’s novel written by Glendon Swarthout and adapted by Jones along with Kiernan Fitzgerald and Wesley A. Oliver. The story embodies the struggle of the women of the frontier as America pushed west to discover itself. The movie is set in 1854 in the bleak Nebraska Territory where we meet a single and extremely able-bodied young woman played by Hilary Swank. Unable to find a mate, she tends to her homestead by herself until she is asked to escort three young wives played by Grace Gummer (Meryl Streep’s daughter), Miranda Otto and Sonja Richter, who have gone insane

under the duress of frontier life. Swank’s mission is to bring them back east to Iowa and reunite them with their families, or to be institutionalized. At the beginning of the journey, she finds Jones, a humorous scallywag, on a horse with a noose around his neck. She helps him, but only with the agreement that he assists her with the journey with a promise of $300 at the end. Along the way there are encounters with Indians, frontiersmen and weather that will threaten the journey. There is also the bond created between Jones and Swank’s characters. In the third act the women are delivered and Jones strikes an ambiguous chord as their savior. But there is nothing ambiguous about his direction. Supported beautifully by Rodrigo Prieto’s cinematography and Marco Beltrami’s gorgeous score, Jones has created a West that is both striking and foreboding in its power. It is also a welcome addition to the genre. tws
