canine-inspired art awareness project, Cody the Lab, has taken up recent residence at the Wood River Community YMCA. The latest addition to the artistic and philanthropic series ‘Cody the Lab’ was donated to the Y by Rich Wending and Wendy Hayward on Monday, Dec. 21, in an event that welcomed the dog statue to its new home. The piece marks the 100th statue of its kind and coincides with the sale of “How Cody Found His True Colors…”, a children’s book currently available at Chapter One Bookstore, The Tanning Service, Chicken Lipps in Giacobbi Square, Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, and the Wood River Community YMCA. “All proceeds from the sale of Cody’s book will go to support of the Animal Shelter,” said illustrator and Animal Shelter founder Lyn Stallard in an interview. The books are priced at $15. “The story of Cody is one of Inspiration,” said Terry Tischer, an Animal Shelter board member and co-contributor to the project’s accompanying book, in an interview. The original Cody, an adopted pet of artist and animal lover Stallard, became the inspiration for the art and animal rights initiative, which follows in the iconic footsteps of similar series displays in Chicago (cows) and Seattle (pigs). “The first Cody the Lab was created in 2000,” Tischer said. Each Lab is initially formed in Los Angeles from a fiberglass mold before being transported to its intended recipient. According to Tischer, artistic completion of the Labs can take many weeks. Labs have since become common decorative sights to business frontages and community centers throughout the Wood

Ski Team Studies Avalanche Safety STORY BY K. HOFFMAN

n Saturday, Dec. 13, the Sawtooth Avalanche Center and Sun Valley Ski Patrol held their first ever Youth Avalanche Education event for Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s youth athletes. Approximately 80 13- to 18-year-olds and their coaches attended the event on Bald Mountain. The event focused on the importance of using a heightened sense of decision-making when exiting a ski area boundary and entering uncontrolled or “out of bounds” terrain. The group first assembled at Lookout Restaurant on top

of Bald Mountain for a multimedia presentation by Avalanche Center Director Scott Savage. In the presentation, Savage explained and addressed the common misperceptions regarding “sidecountry” areas and the simple things people can do to stay out of trouble when recreating in avalanche terrain. Savage provided some key points, including that people should pay attention to “bull’s-eye” data or recent avalanche activity, which includes a snowpack collapsing or cracking. Large storms with extreme wind are all red flags for a potential avalanche, he added. “These are flashing neon signs saying, ‘STOP! DANcontinued on page 12

Hailey Fire Department 2014 Accomplishments And Future Goals

BY HAILEY FIRE DEPARTMENT

hat a fantastic year it has been for the Hailey Fire Department! We had our annual recognition ceremony, and we instituted our first citizen recognition award to Mike Broman, owner of The Wicked Spud, for all of his Wicked Wednesdays benefiting the several nonprofits in our community and for his continuous support for the Hailey Fire Department. We would like to recognize a few firefighters and their years of service: Misty McConnell—five years of exceptional service; Rob Swanson—10 years of exceptional service and Deputy Chief Mike Baledge for 15 years of exceptional service; Calvin Nalder for firefighter for the fourth quarter and Phil Rainey for firefighter of the year. The Hailey Fire Department would also like to recognize and share our gratitude to one of our departing leaders, Captain Vaughn Palmer. Vaughn has given 25 years of service and has earned the admiration and respect of the Hailey Fire Department. His efforts as a firefighter and his dedication to this department as well as the Valley are greatly appreciated and will be missed. The Hailey Fire Department would also like to recognize Robbin Warner for her eight years of service as administration assistant and an EMS firefighter. Her dedication and services were greatly appreciated and will be missed, too! In 2014, the Hailey Fire Department was busy with several accomplishments that we are proud of: we promoted Phil Rainey to captain; promoted Tom Harned to lieutenant; and promoted firefighter Dannie Edelman to engineer. The Hailey Fire Department had the second successful year for the Fire Explorer program; found a great firefighter through the Fire Intern Program with Eastern Kentucky University; and created a new Auto Aid Agreement that has the Hailey Fire Department, Bellevue Fire Department and Wood River Fire District automatically answering all structure fire calls to support one anoth-

er. We had our first Wicked Wednesday at The Spud; hosted the largest Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours in the Hailey Chamber’s history; and had a great Relay For Life team that placed second in Blaine County! The new EMS Rescue Bike Program was utilized and called out on its first day in the field at the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. We teamed up with the Hailey Police Department and Blaine County School District to create a Do The Right Thing program, which has had two ceremonies recognizing children of Blaine County for making good choices. The Hailey Fire Department started a partnership with the local Red Cross for a smoke detector and home safety inspection program and continues to grow this program, teaming up with The Senior Connection. We began replacement plans for our protective firefighting clothing and replaced almost all of our frontline fire hose. We received grants for two pediatric medical bags and for new wildland protective firefighting clothing. The Hailey Fire Department participated in a multi-day fire/hydraulics/pump operator class and a state fire inspection class. We look forward to 2015 with grants applied for nozzle and appliances, thermal imaging cameras, radios— mobile and portable—and a new fully-equipped EMS bike. We look forward to a much-anticipated spring South Valley firefighter appreciation party, which will be open to the public to come and celebrate with us. We look forward to several capital improvements on our vehicles and station; a Firefighter II academy for training as well as an extrication class with all of the departments in Blaine County and Hailey. We will also be hosting a Wildland Urban Interface Drill in 2015 to help keep our firefighters’ skills keen and top-notch for the community and all safety needs. We look forward to continuing to work with the Blaine County Schools with our outreach programs and creating a new Challenge Coin Competition.

We at Jane’s Artifacts thank you for shopping with us and supporting us in 2014. We look forward to serving your needs in 2015. Thank you for shopping local.

BY DICK DORWORTH This is part two of a two-part series.

here has always been a certain mystique to the Warm Springs side of Bald Mountain. Even before there were ski lifts on Baldy, everyone knew about the fine skiing potential on the Warm Springs side. People had known it since 1938, when legendary American ski racer and photographer Dick Durrance convinced Sun Valley Resort to cut a run on the north side of Baldy for the 1939 Harriman Cup downhill. The only lifts in Sun Valley at the time were on Dollar, Proctor and Ruud mountains, neither of them large

enough for a world-class downhill, and the 1939 Harriman downhill (the third year of the race) marked the course on Baldy as a classic of the time. The second Harriman to be held on Baldy (in 1940) took place on what are now International and Warm Springs runs. That race is one of the best and most memorable in American ski history, and it was won by Durrance—his third win of the prestigious cup. The Resort opened the first lifts to the top of Baldy for the 1939-40 season on the River Run side. The Resort did not install the first Warm Springs lifts until 1965, but during those intervening years serious Baldy skiers commonly rode up the River Run lifts, skied down the Warm Springs side of Baldy and caught a ride back around to River Run (in much the same spirit as today’s out-ofcontinued on page 5

letter to the editor

Living La Vida Loca

In Sun Valley

t is late afternoon on a winter day and people are beginning to gather at The Community Library in Ketchum. They are here for the opening of an exhibit of 41 photographs by Mexican photographer Monica Guerrero Mouret. The exhibit, which will run through January, depicts the yearly pilgrimage into Mexico City that thousands of people make in honor of the Virgin of Guadalupe—the patron saint of Mexico. Dr. Jenny Davidson, the library’s new director, introduces Guillermo Ordorica Robles, consul of Mexico in Boise, and says that this is the beginning of a close partnership with the Mexican consulate. After a short lecture, refreshments are served and suddenly a passionate discussion in Spanish breaks out. As a South American, I bask in the familiarity afforded by the language of my youth but it also comes to confirm that we, Latinos, don’t know how to do something quietly. We are exuberant and extravagant in our enjoyment of life. Latino or Hispanic? Spanish-speaking people come from North, Central and South America, as well as Spain. Most of us, including myself, are both Latinos and Hispanics. Neither term denotes race because we come in all colors of the human rainbow and, with very diverse regional customs, we each come with our own unique idiosyncrasies. Here is the difference: We are Hispanic because we speak Spanish and we are Latinos because we come from Latino America, with roots in cultures that were once under Roman rule. But not all Latinos are Hispanic. Brazilians, for example, are Latinos but they are not Hispanics because they speak Portuguese. In the United States, both terms are used interchangeably, and that is appropriate for most of us.

Life is not a fiesta Regardless of what you want to call us, being an immigrant is difficult. As with the forefathers of this nation, encouraged by dreams, we venture to this land looking for an opportunity to do better in life. Sometimes we arrive as sophisticated experts, but most likely we come as humble workers. As a rule, we like to maintain our cultural heritage and our traditions, even when our families have been here for many generations. Long-established Hispanics are becoming a powerful political and economic force in this country, but for the newcomers, there are many obstacles to overcome; language barriers, cultural differences and the loss of close family ties—that indispensable support system they left behind—are among them. Understandably, they try to find comfort in others who have arrived before them and have already had a chance to find their way. But groups, and their collective actions, usually cause other people to arrive to generalized concepts, opening the door for discrimination. Faulty information fuels misconceptions Many people believe that in this country discrimination is a thing of the past, but a study conducted by The Washington Post, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University found that racial groups differ sharply over the amount of discrimination they believe is faced by Latinos and other minorities in the U.S. While over half of Latinos and nearly half of blacks said that discrimination is a big problem, only a quarter of non-Latino whites agreed. The poll suggests that some of the problem is fueled by faulty information. People tend to exaggerate, for instance, the number of Hispanics that are in this country illegally or on welfare. Inflated by a recent wave of anti-immigration sentiment, many fear that illegal aliens are invading America and believe that most of them are Hispanic. But, according to the Economic Policy Institute, in Washington D.C., although illegal immigrants make up an estimated 3.7 percent of the U.S. population, Hispanics represent less than half (46 percent) that number. President Obama’s immigration order Although President Barack Obama’s new executive order on immigration is not yet in effect, it is bound to cause some controversy, both with Americans and with immigrants who came here legally. The order offers deferred deportation to people younger than 30 who immigrated illegally before age 16, have served in the military or have been successful students and pose no criminal or security threat to this country. Adding to the controversy, President Obama’s order will allow undocumented parents of children who were born in the U.S. (automatic citizens) to be immune to deportation for the next three years. This is important for Idaho because Hispanics represent the largest minority, with a population that is growing faster than the general population of the state. More significantly, Idaho leads the nation with the highest proportion of immigrants (46 percent) who could qualify for deferred deportation. The new presidential plan will also allow them to obtain work permits, enhancing their odds of getting employment. And that opens the door to potential misunderstandings. A common grievance is that “illegals take away jobs from Americans, use up our resources and don’t contribute to the economy.” In reality, according to a recent article in The Washington Post, illegal aliens make up only 5.1 percent of the workforce but because of their immigration status, they are ineligible for such programs as welfare, food stamps or unemployment insurance. Further, many undocumented workers work under fake IDs, contributing to Social Security and paying taxes. Social Security officials keep a record (known as the earnings suspense file) of wages that do not match up with real names and numbers in their system. continued on page 9

living la vida loca, continued from page 8 Eduardo Porter, a writer for The New York Times, estimated in 2005 that illegal immigrants paid about $7 billion per year in Social Security taxes that they will never be able to reclaim because, legally, they don’t exist. By 2009, the last year for which figures were available, the amount contributed by undocumented immigrants had jumped to over $13 billion, with about $11.2 billion going into the Social Security Trust Fund and $2.6 billion into Medicare. Contrary to what many believe, not all Hispanics need public assistance. Although 26.6 percent of all Hispanics of any race lived in poverty, according to welfare statistics, as of July of 2014, only 15.7 percent of legal Hispanic immigrants were on welfare. Since percentages of white and black welfare recipients were both closer to 40 percent, these numbers suggest that most Hispanics come to this country to work, not to become dependents of the state. Negative news makes it difficult for all of us who came here as immigrants. But nationally, it is getting easier for Hispanic children to feel proud of their heritage. So many good entertainers, humanitarians, politicians and professionals have paved the way for general acceptance. Since 2009, the number of Idaho Hispanic elected officials has more than doubled, from nine to 20. On a local level, our mountain community has a healthy Hispanic population. Mostly from Mexico, they tend to gather together for mutual support while keeping a low profile. Some of them stay in the area but many eventually move to other places where the cost of housing is within their reach. On average, they are young and, having families to support, they work hard for low wages and never complain. Why do they come? Even though the American dream is often elusive for so many immigrants, why do they still come? The answer is: out of necessity. Jobs are hard to find at home, but to immigrate legally to the U.S. can take many years of waiting. So, out of desperation, people are willing to risk their lives to cross over the border illegally. On a recent afternoon, I spoke with Maria, who came from Guadalajara, Mexico, and settled in Boise. Once married to a Mexican doctor, she worked as a nurse until the birth of her children. Two years ago, her husband left her, refusing to pay any alimony or child support. Without financial help, Maria returned to her parents’ home and found a job at the local hospital. Soon after, her father died and without his income, Maria’s small salary was not enough to support her children, mother and young siblings. So, she made the difficult decision to move illegally to the U.S., leaving her children behind. Luckily, she had a friend who already lived here, but all she could offer her was a place to sleep in her already crowded one-bedroom apartment. Maria now works seven days a week, cleaning houses during the day at one job and making burgers until almost midnight at another. Some of the money she earns is sent home to her family; the rest is saved with the hope that one day she will have enough to return to Guadalajara. Once there, she plans to supplement her nurse’s income with her savings. Recently, however, a setback happened; Maria was called back to Mexico when her 9-year-old daughter contracted pneumonia and almost died. The expenses of this unexpected trip will force her to stay in the United States for at least another year.

Stereotypes are hard to overcome Consuelo is a middle-aged woman with strong Mayan features who came to the U.S. with her husband, Carlos, from a little village in the Yucatan Peninsula. The couple arrived legally and settled in California many years ago. Once a fisherman, Carlos now works in construction while Consuelo trims vines in the vineyards. Realizing the short span of their physically demanding jobs, the couple observes strict frugality and works long hours. After helping their children through college, they were left with very little savings—not enough to fulfill their dreams of buying a simple home and eventually retiring. Hoping to reach their goals sooner, Carlos supplements his income by doing odd jobs on weekends. Recently, as he stood by the roadside with a dozen other men, a foreman stopped, looking for able construction workers. Although Carlos was perhaps the best-qualified man for the job, he was refused work because “he looked illegal.” Insisting that he wasn’t, Carlos eagerly showed his proof of residency, but still he was not hired. The reason? Stereotypes are difficult to overcome; the foreman thought Carlos had the face of “a troublemaker.” We are your neighbors Although these stories were gathered in different states and the names have been changed for privacy, they are the same all over. According to the 2010 Census, Blaine County showed 10.69 percent of the population being Hispanic, with Sun Valley having 4.6 percent and Hailey a whopping 28.01 percent—mostly Mexicans. We are your neighbors and you see us daily working at the stores, offices, restaurants, hotels, schools, in the hospital, in landscaping, in maintenance. Most of us have come here legally, obey the laws, work hard, pay taxes, and are contributing to the economy of our town. We are not a burden but, indeed, a valuable asset. Yet, fairness in deed and thought from the society at large is still an essential requirement to keep that asset thriving. In the Sun Valley area, most people tend to be friendly and kind toward immigrants. Nonetheless, I have noticed that Hispanics keep to themselves and, as a result, are mostly invisible. There are no events planned to celebrate Hispanic traditions and we are not mentioned in the local news, except when one of us does something wrong. We need to change that, and with the New Year upon us, maybe it is a good time to think of inclusion. That is why the new exhibit by Mouret at the Library is a giant step forward. It is through events like that one that we can get to know each other better, and by disposing of erroneous misconceptions we can become a closer, healthier and culturally richer society.

bounds skiers go into The Burn or Bassett Gulch). When the Warm Springs and Limelight lifts opened in 1965, a private home near the bottom was turned into the North Face Hut, which provided food, drink, shelter, warmth and, on sunny spring days, outdoor entertainment. It was a modest, no-frills building and business as popular as it was unpretentious. The resort removed the two original lifts at the Warm Springs base in 1988 and replaced them with the Challenger lift (which takes skiers to the top in one ride instead of two), and the Greyhawk lift, which trans-

ports skiers about half way up the mountain’s Warm Springs side. After buying the resort in 1977, Sun Valley Co.

Warm Springs Lodge combined Old World luxuries with the rustic elegance already in existence in the Resort’s Sun Valley Lodge. With two large rock fireplaces and extensive windows through which to view the mountain, the lodge provides fine dining, a bar and a retail store. Shortly after the lodge’s construction, Snow Country Magazine rated the it as the “Best Day Lodge in the Country,” thereby expanding the mystique of Warm Springs into the consciousness of the larger American skiing public.

season, construction began immediately on the 18,000-square-foot Seattle Ridge Lodge, located at 8,800 feet on the crest that runs west and south from the Baldy’s summit. The inaccessible site presented many obstacles to construction and required the use of helicopters during the process, which continued up to the day before it opened on Christmas Day, 1993. The Resort built the Seattle Ridge lift the previous summer so skiers could access the lodge as well as the skiing below it, which is labeled intermediate terrain and strains the skills of many intermediate skiers. Both lodges were designed by Ketchum architects Ruscitto/Latham/ Blanton who have also planned all of the subsequent edifices that have so spectacularly altered Sun Valley over the past few decades. The interior decoration of both Warm Springs and Seattle Ridge lodges

was designed by Lauren Tyler, the wife of Sun Valley’s general manager at that time, Wally Huffman. Holding was closely involved with every aspect of the transformation of Sun Valley and, at one point during the process, architect Nicholas Latham commented, “With each project, Earl becomes more and more sophisticated.” Yes, and as with the Warm Springs Lodge two years earlier, Seattle Ridge Lodge won Snow Country Magazine’s “Best Day Lodge” award the year it opened. Along with River Run Lodge, Seattle Ridge Lodge and Warm Springs Lodge comprise Bald Mountain’s “crown jewels”, or “Triple Crown”—in the words of Holding. Both the mountain itself and the experience it provides to those who ski its slopes are enhanced dramatically by the three warm and welcoming treasures. tws

Act Two For ‘Tenor’ In the many years that the nexStage Theatre has been producing shows in the Wood River Valley, only two productions have been brought back. The first of these was in 2007, when performances of the Theatre’s production of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” were curtailed because of the Castle Rock Fire. Now, the theatre is pleased to bring back “Lend Me A Tenor,” this time because of the wonderful response from audiences who saw the original show over Thanksgiving this year. The second run will give a chance to visitors and those who missed the show the first time around to see the production. The show will open tonight at 8 p.m.—with free champagne—and will continue Jan. 1-3 at 7 p.m. It runs just over two hours. Tickets cost $25 for general admission and $35 for reserved seating.

Ski Team Studies Avalanche Safety, continued from page 1

GER AHEAD!’ ” Savage exclaimed. Savage also suggested checking the advisory board featured on the Sawtooth Avalanche Center’s website each morning where people can find up-to-date information, recent avalanche activity and danger ratings by zone. These danger ratings or warnings can range from extreme/high, to considerable and moderate, to low. “The avalanche danger rating is a great starting point, but you must determine the hazard on the specific slope you choose to ride,” Savage said, adding that visible first ski tracks do not always equal stability, and the first skier won’t always trigger an avalanche on an unstable slope. The presentation continued out on Badly’s slopes, where the group skied to the top of the Double Aught Chute—an avalanche-prone, out-ofbounds area that was the scene of an avalanche accident and successful rescue in February 2014. On the slopes, Sun Valley Ski Patrol Snow Safety Director Gar-

diner explained the importance of ski area signage and boundaries. “When you leave the ski area boundary, you are making an active decision to enter an unpatrolled and uncontrolled area,” Gardiner said. “The ski patrol doesn’t patrol the ‘OB’ or ‘sidecountry,’ and they don’t perform any avalanche hazard mitigation work there.” Sun Valley Ski Patroller Matt Curci also delivered an amusing but informative freestyle rap account of the February 2014 accident site that effectively got the cautionary message through to the kids. To round out the event, Community School instructor Mike Schley covered Beacon Searching 101, a type of a radio transceiver specialized for the purpose of finding people or equipment buried under snow. “Always carry rescue gear (when out of bounds)—beacon, probe and shovel—and practice with your gear so you know how to use it when it counts,” Savage said. Ski patroller and local mountain guide Drew Daley

then demonstrated a standard “textbook” avalanche search and rescue for the group. Scott McGrew, alpine program director for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, summed up the experience: “This was an incredible and timely opportunity for our athletes to get exposure of all the great work that the Sawtooth Avalanche Center and Sun Valley Ski Patrol are doing to help educate and promote mountain safety,” he said. “Our athletes can and will ski some of the most spectacular mountains on the planet. This knowledge will help ensure they make good decisions out there and stay safe. I’m thrilled at the level of collaboration that took place to bring this together and look forward to having more experiences like this in the future.” For more information, call the Avalanche Center at 208-622-0095 or visit www. sawtoothavalanche.com. The Avalanche Center will host an Avalanche Basics class in Hailey on Jan. 8 and 10. tws

Cocoa, Cookies, Carolers & Snow Christmas Eve Ice Show Shines Brightly

STORY AND PHOTO BY MARIA PREKEGES

he heavy snowfall only added to the special festivities surrounding Sun Valley Co.’s outdoor skating rink on Christmas Eve. Rosy cheeks were abundant, and so were the cookies and cocoa. Families bundled up from head to toe, hand in hand as they made their way to the historical rink to enjoy the Resort’s annual Christmas Eve “The Nutcracker on Ice” show. The free show generally draws families from both near and afar, and this year hundreds came out to celebrate the holiday spirit. As people walked in, the bleachers were filled with families and children peeking out from underneath their layers of blankets. Resort employees were busy with their brooms to keep the seats dry during the snowfall. The evening got underway with the Brigham Young University Carolers, from

Utah. Dressed in their traditional costumes, they amused the audience with holiday carols. Then the music of the iconic Nutcracker came across the loudspeakers. The excitement was palpable as everyone’s eyes fixated on the ice rink. From sugarplum fairies and candy canes to Clara and the Nutcracker Prince, skaters of all ages delighted the crowd. The Nutcracker on Ice was impressive, and the skaters didn’t skip a beat while the ice rink, as well as the skaters, got covered in snow. All of the performers kept their smiles big and bright as the snow continued to pile up throughout the performance. Many families in attendance have made the special show their Christmas Eve tradition for many years and, for a few families, this year’s show marked the beginning of a wonderful new tradition. After the skaters took their final bow to a standing ovation, spectators could see Dollar Mountain in the backdrop light up as the

Families from near and afar enjoyed a snowy evening during the ice show and were all smiles when they walked back to their cars after the show.

Sun Valley Ski and Snowboard School instructors skied down in the annual Torchlight Parade. The torches burned bright through the falling snow and fog. The Resort capped off the evening with a grand display of fireworks that lit up the snowy sky. After the show, many of the families walked back to their cars hand in hand, covered in snow and smiling—though some parents did have to carry their family’s youngest members back to the parking lot. It was an evening to remember and a great kickoff to the holiday season. tws

ONGOING/MULTI-DAY CLASSES & WORKSHOPS ARE LISTED IN OU

S- Live Music _- Benefit THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR DEC. 31ST FROM PICABO ANGLER

old and clear is on tap for the next week of fishing local Sun Valley waters. The fishing should still be excellent, and dry-fly activity should continue, but the fishing windows will be much shorter. Instead of getting up and getting to the water around 10 or 11 a.m., anglers may want to wait an extra hour or two before heading to the river. Nothing wrong with one more cup of coffee! Take some hand warmers, because you will be picking ice from you guides most days this week. Keep in mind that the softer the fly rod you fish, the less chance you will have of it turning brittle and breaking in the cold. Silver Creek will fish well near the Highway 20 bridge, but expect a lot of frozen water as you get closer to Picabo. Streamer fishing is always a fantastic winter technique on the Creek and a great way to catch the biggest fish in the river most of the winter. Remember, the river is closed upstream of Highway 20 and open to catch-and-release fishing only downstream from the bridge. The Big Wood will have plenty of ice on the banks this week, but the heavy riffles and narrow runs will stay open and fish well. Be cautious out there and remember to ALWAYS bring a change of warm, dry clothes with you in the winter; one slip into the river at these sub-freezing temperatures will bring on hypothermia quickly! Having warm, dry clothes to change into can make a huge difference. For longer treks and days, the South Fork of the Boise and the Big Lost River are great places to head for and they are also good destinations to think about when we have these blue-sky days and no chance of snow. You can count on excellent driving conditions and feel good in the knowledge you won’t be stuck overnight by weather. Flies this time of year are the same all over. We want to mainly represent Midges with our flies. Griffiths Gnat, Tie-Down Midges, Brassies, Zebras, and Zug Bugs are all excellent choices. Standards like Prince Nymphs and Hare’s Ears are also excellent choices. Streamer flies should include Buggers, Sparkle Minnows, Zonkers and Double Bunny flies. If your line freezes a lot, fishing Streamers with a roll cast is an excellent way to fish without constantly bringing freezing water into your guides! Happy fishing and Happy New Year everyone!

Changing The World One Woman At A Time Family Of Woman Film Fest Announces Lineup

“Sepideh,” a feature documentary from Iran about a girl’s dream of becoming an astronaut, will be presented in the U.S. for the first time outside of the Sundance Film Festival at the eighth annual Family of Woman Film Festival. Courtesy photo

Thank You From Fiddlers Inc

We at Fiddlers Inc wish to thank all of you that bought Christmas trees from our sales station in Bellevue. Your support for the Fiddlers of Idaho State Championship contest is greatly appreciated. The contest will be held May 15th and 16th, 2015 at the Community Campus Performing Arts Theater in Hailey. We trust that you had a very merry Christmas and will have a happy new year.

Mt. Rides Surpasses 500,000 Riders Wendy Little, left, poses with Mountain Rides Transportation Authority bus driver Jose Victorino, right, who’s holding a plaque that recognizes Little as Mt. Ride’s 500,000th rider (since the organization began formally tracking its ridership in 1994). “This milestone was recently marked with recognition of the 500,000th rider on December 29, 2014, on a northbound Valley Route driven by Jose Victorino,” states a recent news release from Mt. Rides. “The lucky rider was Wendy Little who was recognized with a plaque, a bus pass, a gift certificate and other goodies.” In the release, Little, a Ketchum resident and regular Blue Route and Valley Route rider who works as a chef at Trail Creek for Sun Valley Co., states that she “loves” riding the bus. “It gives me time to read or relax, and I don’t have to worry about driving in the snow,” she states. “The bus drivers are great and always provide excellent customer service.” 16

he annual Family of Woman Film Festival has released the lineup for next year’s festival, which will take place in late February, 2015 and will follow the theme of “Women and their Dreams.” “Our goal is to make people aware of why it’s important to help women and girls, because just that one difference can change the world,” explained festival Co-chair Peggy Elliott Goldwyn in an interview. Goldwyn and the festival’s other half, Stephanie Freid-Perenchio, started the event eight years ago to focus on issues confronting women and girls around the world through compelling cinematic stories. “Many of the films relate very closely to events that are taking place in our world today,” Goldwyn said. “These films show us resilience, not hopelessness, and I think that is crucial to understanding and working through problems in today’s society, the resilience of the people.” The eighth annual festival will kick off with the second Bonni Curran Memorial Lecture on the Health and Dignity of Women on Feb. 24 at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, located at 201 Sun Valley Road. The featured speaker for this event will be Jill Sheffield—founder of Women Deliver, one of the world’s leading advocates for women’s health and wellness. In 2008, Sheffield was awarded the United Nations Population Award for her work in sexual and reproductive rights and health. On Thursday, Feb. 26, the films will begin, starting with the premiere presentation of “The Supreme Price.” The Nigerian documentary will be presented by filmmaker Joanna Lipper and by the film’s subject, Hafsat Abiola. Abiola’s father was Nigeria’s first democratically elected president. The film details her losses as her father’s government is overthrown and her mother is assassinated, as well as her triumphs for women’s rights in Nigeria after returning to the country that took her family in 1999. On Feb. 27, the festival will present “Sepideh,” a documentary about an Iranian girl’s dream of becoming an astronaut, and the determination it takes to follow one’s dreams regardless of cultural expectations. Former NASA astronaut Barbara Morgan and Iranian-American private astronaut Anousheh Ansari, who is featured in the film, will lead a discussion following the screening. Next up, on Feb. 28, there will be a free matinee showcasing two short films by investigative film journalist Reed Lindsay, a Ketchum native. “Kicking Machismo” is the story of a young girl in Brazil who has a passion for soccer. The second film, “Fists of Fury,” tells the story of a 15-year-old Indian girl and her goal of becoming a champion boxer. Also on Feb. 28, there will be a showing of “Light Fly, Fly High,” a feature documentary from India. Lindsay will also be there to discuss and introduce that film, which follows young Thulasi and her amazing road to becoming a professional boxer. “The documentary takes a close look at the phenomenon of girls in conservative societies turning to sports for self-fulfillment,” states a recent news release from the Festival. The featured screening for Feb. 28 will be “#chicagogirl,” a documentary from Syria and the U.S. Special guests will include the film’s subject, Alaa Basatneh, and filmmaker Joe Piscatella. The film follows Basatneh as she uses social media to help Syrian protesters organize and fight back, all from her home in suburban Chicago. The Festival will conclude on March 1 with a premiere screening of the BBC-commissioned film, “Pakistan’s Hidden Shame.” The film’s creator, Mohammad Naqvi, will be there for a discussion. The film details the sexual exploitation and abuse of Peshawar’s street children in Pakistan. An estimated 90 percent of street children in Pakistan are said to be sexually molested at some point in their lives. Naqvi will also being honored as the second returning filmmaker to grace the festival. In 2008, he presented “Shame” at the first Family of Woman Film Festival. “Shame” was the courageous story of one Pakistani woman’s fight to bring the men who raped her to justice. The film will be presented as a special Festival Filmmaker Update on Feb. 23 at The Community Library in Ketchum, located at 415 Spruce Avenue. All five films will be shown at the Sun Valley Opera House, located in the Sun Valley Resort Village, with the exception of the returning film, “Shame.” For show times, as well as more information about the films, filmmakers or presenters, visit www.familyofwomanfilmfestival.org.

Tara Burchmore All The World’s A Stage

Community School senior Tara Burchmore. Courtesy photo

BY JONATHAN KANE

ara Burchmore, a Community School senior carrying a 3.9 grade point average, has a lot going for her—the least of which is being accepted early to Dartmouth College, which she will be attending in the fall. Beside being a standout star of the stage, Burchmore also started the debate team at the Community School and is captain of the cross-country running team. Finally, she has an incredible plan for her senior project—she will be interning at The Center for Compassion and Altruism at Stanford Medical School, where she will help study the neurological effects of being kind, both internally and in a social setting. Burchmore was born in San Francisco, and family moved to the Wood River Valley eight years ago. “We were looking for a better lifestyle, which we found,” Burchmore said in an interview. “For a place so small, there is such great culture here, with art and theater. Also, I love skiing, and it’s so amazing to have this great mountain here. My main memories of San Francisco were of sitting in traffic. Here it’s just a really special community.” Burchmore started attending the Community School in eighth grade after attending Hemingway Elementary and Wood River Middle School. “I thought going there would be a better match for me, especially the theater program,” she said. “I love it there, especially because it’s a place where we are all very close as people. You can argue strongly with classmates in class about things like affirmative action and still remain close friends and be sitting together at lunch. Even though I start-

ed in eighth grade I already pretty much knew everyone, so fitting in was easy. The teachers there are also so great. They are approachable, and are so passionate about what they are doing that it’s really inspiring.” Burchmore’s favorite subject is English literature. “It’s just a great way to universalize human nature,” she said. “I enjoy reading because you can connect with anybody.” Her favorite novel is “This Side of Paradise,” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. “It’s about a boy growing up and a coming-of-age book that kids can connect with because the struggle of growing up is very relatable,” she said. A great deal of her time is spent pursuing her love of the theater and acting. She has been in every Community School production since she’s been in the upper school and this fall played the lead in the musical “Guys and Dolls.” When she was 9, she played Tiny Tim at the nexStage Theatre’s production of “A Christmas Carol” and has played numerous parts in the show since. “I guess my favorite show would be a tie between ‘Guys and Dolls’ and ‘Grease,’ ” she said. “I prefer musicals because I love to sing. ‘Grease’ was incredibly fun because it was my first time with a big role and I loved standing up and singing a song and the show was very well cast. In ‘Guys and Dolls,’ I loved being the lead. It’s a classic and everyone should see it because of its powerful message that you shouldn’t judge appearances. I guess I love theater because it’s so much fun to be able to share the story. Doing a show at the school you spend so much time with your best friends and then it’s amazing to show your classmates all the hard work you’ve put in.” tws

Local Food For Thought Fresh Resolutions BY ALI LONG

s one of your New Year’s resolutions to eat more healthfully? While standard advice says to read labels and control portions, local, seasonal food is a much easier and fresher means to the same end. Fruits and vegetables grown close to home are fresher and more nutrient-rich. Locally made soups, sauces and other prepared foods are less processed and more wholesome; local breads and cheeses usually boast quality, organic ingredients and are free of preservatives and other additives. In summer and fall, farmers’ markets offer local food favorites. In winter months, when these markets are less frequent, local products can still be found at stores committed to your health and our local economy. Make your first stop for groceries local food retailers like the Wood River Sustainability Center or NourishMe, and then finish off your list at larger markets and grocery chains. Another way to boost your intake of fresh local food is to cook with what’s available. Instead of searching for ingredients for your favorite recipe, purchase what looks freshest and most abundant (volume usually means lower cost), then Google a recipe that uses those ingredients. Synchronizing your body with the seasons promotes optimal health and digestion. Fresh, healthy, local food can be (though not always) pricier, but these up-front costs offset future healthcare costs. Americans spend the lowest percentage of their income on food than any other country, and we have the highest remedial healthcare costs—this is no coincidence. Local food is not only good for our health, but also our environment and local economy. Maybe if the benefits of our food resolutions extended beyond ourselves, we would be more likely to keep them? So, in 2015, resolve to include at least one (hopefully more!) “Made in Idaho” food product in your shopping cart each time you shop. Ali Long is the president of The Springcreek Foundation and the director of the Local Food Alliance. For more information, email her at ali@localfoodalliance.org.

Our Goals For A New Year BY THE ETCS

“Our vision is of compassionate, peaceful communities, with respect, equity and justice for all human beings. In this vision, all people will work together to make our communities stronger as a whole and, in turn, create powerful future generations where violence against women and girls is no longer a common occurrence and violence in all our communities is no longer accepted. In this vision we stand together with those who are oppressed and fight injustice, even in the face of resistance.” –Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.

ere are some actions we all can take throughout the New Year to end violence and create a compassionate community in 2015:

•Recognize that these issues are real. Violence and oppression are prevalent problems within all communities, including here in the Wood River Valley. Violence can be physical, emotional, financial, stalking, and/or sexual. •Be informed. Educate yourself on where victims can receive help. Learn how to recognize “red flags.” Help educate the younger generation about what a healthy relationship is and take it a step further—model it for them. •Have conversations. We know that the topic of violence is difficult to talk about; however, silence allows for the cycle of abuse to continue. Honest conversations should take place in homes, schools, workplaces, on social media, or even during social functions. •Take these issues seriously. Recognize when you are hearing demeaning jokes or comments, and speak out against them. Believe and support the stories of victims. Check in with someone the next time you hear a rumor there may be abuse happening. •Be a Green Dot / active bystander. If you witness a violent or potentially violent act, find a way to intervene or seek help from others. Come to a Green Dot training to receive tools on how to intervene safely. •Create a culture that accepts differences. Broaden your understanding for different cultural beliefs, religions, races, and sexual identities. Recognize your own personal privilege. Speak out for those affected by systematic injustice. Part of eliminating privilege in a racist, sexist, classist and ablest society is to point it out. •Get involved. Attend community events, support nonprofits, and take part in fundraisers that work in our community to build a safe and compassionate community for all. Support local and national campaigns against violence.

Time for New Ski Boots? BY JIM SANTA

n my last article we discussed a few basics of ski shapes and camber lines. While skis are the eye candy of the ski shop and certainly worth careful consideration, boots are hands down the most important component in skiing. Get this right and you’ll unlock your best performance while skiing in comfort. First, seek out a reputable shop, preferably in a ski town. We deal with boot fitting every day of the season, and have the opportunity for immediate feedback from our skiing clientele. Plus, you can conveniently return and test any needed adjustments. At Sturtevants, we proudly offer a boot-fit guarantee; you certainly can’t find this online or at a big sale or swap. If you’re halfway serious about skiing, a good-fitting boot will be worth every penny! A good boot fitter will ask a lot of questions before making any recommendations. If a salesman recommends a boot to you before you take your shoes off, move on. A good fit starts with precise measurements of both feet, including length, width and dorsiflexion, along with a general analysis of stance and foot structure. You should provide an honest assessment of your skiing, including favorite types of terrain, aggressiveness, number of ski days you average in a season, and your skiing aspirations. Bring your lightest ski socks or purchase a new sock for the fitting process. A knowledgeable boot fitter will return with two, maybe three, models to test fit. A shell fit (no liner) on the boot should be performed first. For a good performance fit, we suggest 3/4 to 1 inch of room in the shell. A new boot should be quite snug; they will pack out and get bigger. If they feel really comfy right out of the box, beware—it’s likely too big. Look for a boot that’s comfortably snug and feels like a natural extension of your foot. Some time during this process the concept of a foot bed should be introduced. Good foot beds are not just hype; they will improve the comfort and performance of your new boots. So now you’ve purchased a new boot. You can expect this boot to be a little bit tight and even a bit uncomfortable for the first day or two. Trust that a little discomfort at first will lead to a good-fitting boot in the long run. The snow is fantastic, so get out there and enjoy the great conditions! Jim Santa is a member of the Sturtevant’s management team and an avid participant in the great outdoor activities we all live here to enjoy. For more information, email him at jsanta@ sturtevants-sv.com.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again because we truly believe it: We don’t have to do everything, but we all must do something. This article was written by The Advocates’ seven ETC (Every Teen has a Choice) teen interns. The Advocates is a Hailey-based nonprofit whose mission is to teach people of all ages how to build and maintain healthy relationships.

Aeronautics Art Contest For Students Students in grades K-12 can express their love for aviation through artwork during the annual aviation art contest sponsored by Idaho’s Division of Aeronautics through Feb. 27. “A love affair with flight usually begins at an early age, and art may be the perfect medium to express that affection,” states a recent news release from Idaho Transportation Department.   Submitted art must not exceed legal size (11” x 14”) and must have an aviation theme. There will be three age groups: Kindergarten through fourth grade; fifth grade through eighth grade; and ninth grade through 12th grade. The contest is for two-dimensional color, black-and-white, technical drawings (schematics), or painting (including watercolor, oil and other media.)  The student’s name, grade, mailing address, home/cell phone number, school name and address, teacher’s name and contact information, and indication as to whether the entry can be used to promote future contests must be printed on the back of the submission.   The first-place prize in each category is a round-trip flight from the student’s hometown to Boise, chaperoned by parents or legal guardian. An award and certificate of achievement will be presented by Idaho Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter, and students and parents can tour the Idaho Capitol.   Completed art must be received by the Division of Aeronautics no later than Feb. 27, 2015.   Art submissions should be sent to: Idaho Division of Aeronautics  Aviation Safety and Education, 3483 Rickenbacker Street, Boise, ID 83705. All submitted art will be returned to the student’s mailing address after being displayed at the ITD Division of Aeronautics. Winning entries will be featured in Rudder Flutter, Idaho’s aviation newsletter. Winners will receive a complimentary copy of the newsletter. Announcements also will be sent to local news media.

alidor is now almost 16 weeks old and the critical imprinting time is just about over. So far, he has learned to sit for petting, sit to come out of his crate, sit at all doors going in or coming out. He knows how to “leave it” with food on the floor or in my hand. He is not jumping on people. He comes to his name even when he is playing with other dogs. He sits and does down. He also watches me on command, even in public. I have had him out in public where there are no loose dogs I do not know, but have first checked with our veterinarian to be sure there is no parvovirus in the Valley. He has seen new places, friends’ homes, and played for short periods with fair and gentle older dogs. In the five weeks I have had him, he has only had two accidents in the house because I take him out frequently and always give him food when he goes outside. I never let him loose in the house unless I am right there watching him. He is either in his exercise pen with a chew toy, or in his crate if I cannot be right there. He knows the command “Go Hurry Up” AND will go on a leash so he will relieve himself quickly when we travel or if I have to leave for work. I have worked tirelessly on gentle restraint and let him know that squirming or biting does not let him go free. When he is quiet in my arms, he gets love and petting, but wild behavior gets nothing, certainly not getting down! I want him to accept restraint when he goes to the vet without trauma, or when I am

trimming nails, etc. When he goes in or out of his crate in the car, he must also be well-behaved and sit before coming out. I am not taking him places where he may meet dogs that are wild and out of control, nor places where he may meet dogs that I don’t know will be kind to pup-

fore taking him in, I always check to see if there are loose dogs that could jump on him, or dogs that have kennel cough or any other contagious disease. I make it a short, controlled and happy experience for him. The first few weeks he has been my priority, but he now has a good foundation and

pies. I don’t want him to become defensive aggressive, or have any bad experiences with unknown dogs. That means, I don’t go any public place where other dogs are being walked off leash. I take Kalidor to the vet just to get weighed and for the staff to give him treats so he likes going to the vet. He sits politely on the scale, too! While the veterinarian’s office is not a place to socialize with sick dogs, it is a place that I want him to trust the people there. Be-

movie review

‘Elton John’s Million Dollar Piano’ Sun Valley Opera, nexStage Theatre and the Sun Valley Artist Series are inviting music fans to begin the new year with a special screening of “Elton John’s Million Dollar Piano” on Jan. 7. The movie was filmed live at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and features some of the piano rocker’s most famous songs. “Caesars Palace is just a perfect, idyllic place to play, and the show will be a gargantuan feast of music and imagery,” states John on his website (at the time of the show’s debut in 2011). “I’m going to have a fabulous piano that Yamaha has been working on for four years, and that’s the reason why the show is called ‘The Million Dollar Piano.’ ” The screening will take place at the nexStage Theatre, located at 120 N. Main Street in Ketchum. The doors will open at 5:15 p.m., and the movie will start at 6 p.m. A no-host bar and snacks will be available before the screening and during intermission. For more information or to reserve seats, call 208-726-0991. 20

‘Citizenfour’

Jon rated this movie

Big Brother

BY JONATHAN KANE

aranoia reigns supreme in the excellent new documentary, “Citizenfour.” Part Bourne thriller and part “All The President’s Men,” this truly fascinating and extremely frightening film takes us in real time to when former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden spilled the beans on American surveillance post-9/11 in a series of shocking revelations. Directed beautifully by one of the reporters he spoke to—Laura Poitras, who published in The Washington Post—the 29-year-old

T he W eekly S un •

Snowden, now in exile in Russia, emerges as a figure for our times. Poitras was in the early stages of making a film about surveillance to accompany her first two films, “My Country, My Country” and “The Oath,” from Berlin, where she had moved to for safety reasons. Then she began to get a series of encrypted messages from someone who identified himself as Citizen Four. After much back and forth, they agreed to meet in Hong Kong with a reporter from The Guardian, Glenn Greenwald. Citizen Four turned out to be Snowden and, over the course of eight days in the summer of 2013 at The Mira Hotel, he spun

december 31, 2014

an unbelievable story of widespread monitoring of Americans with data in the trillions culled from phones, e-mails and Web searches, all in the name of national security. Part of the power of the film is the real-time aspect. We get to study Snowden, who desperately doesn’t want to be ‘the story,’ as the stories from The Guardian and Post unfold on CNN. The air is thick with paranoia when, in one scene, Snowden unplugs the hotel phone, fearing it might be a microphone. Suddenly, the fire alarms on his floor start to blare ominously. Is it just a coincidence? Hard to tell in this must-see film. tws
