2014 Goes Out With A Bubbly Bash BY MARYLAND DOLL

s the clock struck midnight, hundreds of patrons welcomed 2015 with a glitzy New Year’s Eve party at River Run Lodge in Ketchum that had even the most seasoned ski bums dressed to impress. The black-tie event was the fourth annual Bubbly Bash hosted by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts in partnership with Sun Valley Co. Nearly 700 people came to ring in the New Year at the Lodge, where guests were treated to free champagne (hence the name “Bubbly Bash”) from 9-10 p.m. and invited to drink, dance and mingle with friends and neighbors at the festive celebration. The event included a photo booth, free New Year’s party favors such as hats and tiaras, as well as musical guest DJ Shark and his team of percussionists from Hollywood, Calif. The Bubbly Bash was first conceived when the Resort approached The Center with an opportunity to partner together to develop a joint New Year’s Eve party that would be fun and appealing for their guests as well as to the community at large. “The Sun Valley Company wanted to support The Center, and our Junior Patrons Circle was willing to take on the design of the event,” said The Center’s Marketing Manager Holly Bornemeier in an interview. “It has evolved over the years [it used to be

Animal Tracking Workshop Ann Christensen To Lead Snowshoe Venture BY K. HOFFMAN

he Environmental Resource Center in Ketchum and longtime Wood River Valley resident and legend Ann Christensen have joined forces again for their presently underway annual Winter Tracking Workshop. Christensen, along with several other environmentalists, founded the ERC over 22 years ago and has been running its animal winter tracking workshops ever since. The ERC prides itself on the health and vitality of the Wood River Valley by educating and promoting awareness for a more sustainable environment, and the tracking workshops are one of the nonprofit’s lon-

gest-running and most popular programs. This year’s winter tracking workshop began on Dec. 27 and has two more remaining sessions, on Jan. 17 and Feb. 7. Christensen, who studied with famous tracker and author James Halfpenny, begins all workshops at the ERC office with a presentation of the Valley’s local native animals. The presentation includes the basics of tracking and the local animals’ habitat, behavior and winter adaptations. Participants will learn how to identify different types of animals based on track size and number of toes. They will also learn how to identify an animal’s activity based on its gait, straddle and stride. These identifications paint a “story” that a specific animal track might be telling.

BY COMPANY OF FOOLS “Peter and the Starcatcher” has carried its star stuff into the theatrical sunset, leaving in its wake the deep satisfaction of a show enthusiastically received! We wanted to once again extend our deep gratitude for your support and to share with you a few of the show’s many highlights. • Company of Fools was one of the first theatres outside of New York City to have received the rights to this five-time Tony Award-winning play. • We had a combined audience of 3,538 patrons—with 846 of those being students, grades 3-8, attending one of our four student matinees. • The students attending the matinees were from the following schools: Alturas Elementary, Camas County Middle School, Pioneer Montessori, Wood River Middle School (the entire school), Wood River High School (special needs classes) and VOICE II (Vocational Occupational Independent Career Education). • Nine of our 12 actors were guest actors from Boise, New York City, Virginia and Wisconsin. Four of our young men were from Boise and are current and recent students from Boise State University (BSU). Company of Fools continues to forge a rich relationship with BSU through its partnership with their theatre department. Working with guest artists not only exposes our audiences to new talent but deepens the artistic health of the Company. • Once again, our designers stretched their artistic muscles to create a visual playground that delighted our audiences. The set, designed by Joe Lavigne, was based on a Victorian shipyard and a Parkour training gym. The set gave the director, John Glenn, and actors a full-spectrum palette to create the world of “Neverland.” Jay Ryan, guest lighting designer, returned for his third production with the Fools. Jay is an award-winning designer from New York, having been awarded with an Obie and an Eva Adamson award for Excellence in Lighting Design. • Two videos were created to give our patrons an inside peek into the creation of “Peter and the Starcatcher.” You can find both at: www.tinyurl.com/tws-starcatcher

I would like to close with two “reviews” that came from a couple of the teachers who attended the student matinees. As you read them, please take a moment to know that your support mattered to so many students, adults, families and visitors of our beautiful Wood River Valley. “We thought the play and acting was superb. Full of action, easy to follow, funny, just all-around fun. The seventh- and eighth-grade students all liked it. They had a great time. Such a pleasure for them to see a real play, something that many have never seen before unless it was at The Liberty Theatre with your productions. Thank you.” –Camas County School District 121, Fairfield “Only one student in the VOICE II transition program has ever seen a play before (all our students are between 18-21 years old). Every student asked when we could do it again. Thank you for your generosity, compassion and desire to fully educate the students in this community.” –Jamie Ellison, VOICE II transition teacher, Blaine County School District Thank you for helping to make all this happen!

‘I Wanna Live Forever’ Free Indie Concert With Grant Carey BY YANNA LANTZ

ew York-based musician Grant Carey will be playing a free concert in Ketchum, at The Spot, on Friday at 8 p.m. Carey’s music falls in the indie spectrum. “I’d call my music intellectual indie folk-pop with a focus on storytelling and arrangements that create layers of sound,” Carey said in an interview. The musician’s vocal range is vast, spanning deep sultry tones and beautiful falsetto work. His arsenal of instruments ranges from piano, to guitar and bass, to percussion and synthesizers. Concertgoers can expect an evening of moving music from Carey’s albums, some covers from Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel as well as new original works. “Grant brings a unique energy and perspective to the Valley’s music and his show is not to be missed,” said The Spot Co-founder Brett Moellenberg. Carey’s musical influences include American indie rock band “The National,” “Sufjan Stevens” and storytellers like Springsteen. “Musicians are the storytellers of their time,” Carey explained. “In an effort to try to tell my story and that of my generation, I aim to strike a chord with others and move them by creating a journey through music.” Additionally, Carey believes in the power of listening. In an age where time is money, he finds it important to stop and take a moment to listen. “The music industry is adjusting to societal expectations – short, fast and simple,” Carey said. Songs have become shorter with more focus on a hook and catchy/repetitive chorus. Carey’s songs are longer and aim to move his audiences in some way. “I try to create music that challenges listeners to be an active participant in the exchange between musicians and audiences,” Carey said. “To

me, the power of music is when it moves a person in such a way that it’s palpable, such as a change of breath or an adjustment in the spine.” His band, “Summer Underground,” is a duo comprised of Carey and Chrissy Sandman. Together, they have released two albums, a double EP project, an assortment of Christmas songs and a collection of tracks titled “Ligonier Sessions.” Their 2014 album, titled “Honeycomb,” is an ode to highs and lows of living in the cell-like chambers of New York City. The album is filled with characters that are trying desperately to find their place in the chaos. “How do we fit in” is a large part of their struggle. “I think this is our most sophisticated work, musically and lyrically, we’ve done so far,” Carey said. “We wanted to create a fantastical soundscape that would transport the listener into a heightened version of New York City.” Carey and Sandman are known for their trademark harmonies, melancholic, intellectual and humorous lyrics, theatrical sensibilities and quirky instrumentation. The style of music on “Honeycomb” covers bases from simple and sparse to complex and layered. “I think we didn’t stop ourselves from taking risks, so musically there’s influences from folk, jazz, rock and roll and electronica,” Carey said. “Honeycomb” will be available for purchase at the free concert. The Spot is located at 220 Lewis St, #2, in Ketchum. For more information, email spotsunvalley@gmail.com. tws

evin and Gwen Fitzpatrick are more than just husband and wife; they are partners in their dream, their vision. They are a team built on bridging community involvement and public art. Together, they are forming an art and educational workshop for public use, and they are looking for community involvement and help in their fundraising campaign to secure, among other business building blocks, a brick and mortar workshop location. Due West Press screen-printing studio and art center is the vision of the young couple. Their passion for art and community is strong and, as the two of them explained in an interview how they came up with their idea, they were finishing each other’s sentences. Gwen explained that they wanted to start a business together and the ideas flowed easily from their life experiences and they came up with the idea of melding art and community. Kevin is a graphic artist and illustrator and Gwen has been involved with social work for several years. Both have a passion for their community and wanted to create a space where people can come create in a safe environment. They saw a need for a place for people young and old to have an outlet to create, and Due West Press was born. Their vision for the space started out with a screen-printing machine. Gwen said they thought it was the perfect first piece

plied. Their mission is to provide an affordable option for making exceptional work. They want to create a self-sustaining workshop where anyone, no matter their age or economic status, has a space to openly create. But they want to go beyond that, explaining that the big picture includes public murals, art exhibits, workshops and classes, as well as beautification projects around the community. They want to be constantly creating in an open studio with others and bring the community together through art. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just want some creative space and help with an outlet to life, this is where they will guide you to be the best you. The Indiegogo fundraising campaign is going on now through Jan. 22. There are different levels of donations featured and, with each donation level, Due West Press is offering a variety of gifts. Screened T-shirts and prints as well as a private print party are all offerings in return for donations. The Fitzpatrick’s initial goal is $2,500, but they are hoping to far exceed that with this campaign. Any money raised over the $2,500 goal will go to the art studio space rental and costs.

Hailey’s History Found In A Name

John Hailey “Stagecoach King of Idaho,” by Paul Hailey, is a historical account of a proud man in the time of Western expansion.

STORY AND PHOTO BY P.M. FADDEN

aul Hailey has, in the last year, written and published an account of retraced roots, forged frontiers, and pioneer courage that secured the mark of infamy upon those men of the Wild West. The book, a historical biography entitled John Hailey “Stagecoach King of Idaho,” was authored by the greatgreat-grandson of John himself. Author Paul Hailey recounts in his book the trials of his ancestor and how his deeds and early land claims lead to the City of Hailey’s namesake. The book chronologically covers John Hailey as he progressed from Oregon Trail pioneer and lumberjack to U.S. congressman and so-called ‘most popular man in Idaho.’ John Hailey—born 1835, deceased 1921—was widely known as a man whose word was indeed as good as bond. He was courageous and imposing but also revered for his generosity. John is described in the book, “Idaho of Yesterday,” by Thomas Donaldson, as “modest and unassuming” and “charity personified.” In the rough and ruthless days of the Wild West, word quickly spread of a man who displayed such honorable traits. Pioneers knew John to be a man of fairness and justice. He was praised as “a servant of the people” and granted the distinctive title Honorable John Hailey when, in 1872, he was appointed delegate to the Idaho Territory that would come to be known as the states Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. “He (John Hailey) was a man of great energy, ambition, and character—I wish I had more of his DNA,” says Paul of his great-great-grandfather. Paul was himself a cowboys-and-Indians aficionado since boyhood. He remembers many photographs and mementos from that era around his family’s home, but says that his relatives never spoke of the importance his own bloodline had to play during that now famous time. It would not be until the passing of his own father, Arthur Hailey, when Paul’s spark of intrigue would grow into a flame of research and discovery. “I inherited a large trunk stuffed with family mementos and newspaper clippings, including a treasure of information about my great-great-grandfather John Hailey,” Paul recalls in the pages of his book. He discovered that the scenes of Western adventure he had so often imagined as a boy were, in fact, common realities in those days. Even more fascinating was the knowledge that his relative, “a plain, hardheaded bluff Westerner,” (as described in the book) had been an integral figure of that time and place. Author Paul Hailey says 200 copies of the book are in print and are priced at $10 per book. Anyone interested in acquiring a copy is invited to contact Paul via post at: Paul Hailey, 16584 S.W. Royalty Parkway, King City, Oregon 97224. “I guess could see John’s history and accomplishments being forgotten,” says Paul of why he wrote his book, “I was moved by what I learned and wanted to share information that may otherwise be forgotten”. tws

ANIMAL TRACKING WORKSHOP, continued FROM page 1

Such stories can include the direction in which and how quickly an animal might have been moving, what it was eating, who or what it encountered and how long the tracks have been there. Participants are then taken out north of Ketchum to Prairie Creek for an hour-and-a-half to two-hour snowshoe tracking adventure, where they will search for and observe animal signs while putting their newly gained knowledge and skills to the test. There are many common local animal tracks that can be found, such as ermine, coyote, fox, snowshoe hare, deer and elk. Those who are lucky may even come across the solitary and elusive

tracks of a marten. “Many of these animals are difficult to see in person, on the tracking workshop, as there are a lot of people recreating in the surrounding area, but they are definitely up there and they leave a lot of signs,” said ERC Program Director Hadley DeBree in an interview. Space is limited, and attendees are encouraged to bring snowshoes, extra warm clothes and their curiosity. The ERC suggests a donation of $10 for ERC members and $15 for non-members. “I have been on several of Ann’s workshops over the last few years and every single time I learn something

new,” DeBree said. “Once you go on this workshop, it’s almost impossible not to look for animal signs in the snow wherever you go. One past participant even said that Ann’s educational and fun tracking workshop ruined cross-country skiing for him because now every time he’s out, he can’t help but look for animal tracks and signs. This seems to be a common theme of our participants.” For more information or to register for a workshop, call 208-726-4333, email hadley@ercsv.org or visit www. ercsv.org. The ERC office is located at 471 Washington Ave. N., in Ketchum.

BY P.M. FADDEN

he nonprofit Sawtooth Society’s Austin Kraal Memorial Volunteer Program is rolling its eco-action calendar onto its second year. Powered by the efforts of volunteers who have generously given their free time, the program focuses on caring for and enjoying the Sawtooth National Recreational Area, north and east of downtown Ketchum. “Projects ranged from clearing roads and trails of downed logs with crosscut saws to clipping fencing for antelope passage,” according to the Sawtooth Society website. Last year’s Austin Kraal Memorial Volunteer Program effort began with 15 volunteers. This year’s summer schedule will coordinate aid statewide. Volunteers currently come from the Boise, Stanley, Twin Falls and Wood River Valley areas. “Austin [Kraal] was an amazing young man in so many ways,” said Debi Kraal of her late son, who became the inspiring figure behind the formation of the program. Austin valued the environment; he grew up trekking the Sawtooths and landed a Forest Service position at 18. Sadly, Austin took his own life three years ago, though his family credits his connection to the environment as having brought him strength and peace before the end. To honor Austin’s love of nature, Debi and Kevin Kraal, Austin’s father, established the now flourishing volunteer program. “Debi and Kevin Kraal wanted to create a program that gave at-risk youth an opportunity to get out, work hard, and connect with nature… and with the program based in such a special area, it really does serve to connect and inspire young people to the outdoors” said Kelly Conde, the Sawtooth Society’s volunteer coordinator. Conde said she’s tried hard to honor the Kraal family’s wishes through the program. “This past summer, six of the projects were completed by youth groups,” she said. Conde added that the program’s volunteers all participate for the same reason. “They all love the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and are willing to work to keep it the incredible place it is today,” she said. Past projects include stapling pheromone patches to trees, fencing for animal passage, Salmon River cleanup and campsite cleanups. Event coordination also combined volunteer efforts with area businesses. “We worked the Boundary Creek trail, Williams Creek, south side of Redfish Lake from the inlet to the ridge, the Alice Lake trail and Hell Roaring,” Conde said. “Three days were dedicated to the Hell Roaring trail by Paul Holle and the Sawtooth Brewery crew.” Conde feels the wide spectrum of individuals willing to volunteer has made program efforts a pleasure while at the same time a success. “We will work on getting even more youth involved for this next summer, with a specific focus on at-risk youth,” explains Conde of ongoing plans for the program. The program works alongside the U.S. Forest Service in the selection of sites and projects for volunteer efforts. February will feature skate/ski clinics with registration through the organization’s website. The Sawtooth Society is a nonprofit organization that strives to preserve as well as protect the Sawtooth NRA. To date, the society has been involved in over 160 such endeavors throughout the NRA area. For more details and information about the volunteer program, or to volunteer for a future project, contact Conde at kelly@sawtoothsociety.org.

y the time the famed architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood designed the Sun Valley Lodge, which opened in 1936, he had already designed lodges for the National Park Service in Zion, Bryce Canyon, North Rim of the Grand Canyon and the iconic Ahwahnee Lodge in Yosemite. He later designed the Jackson Lake Lodge in Grand Teton National Park as well as the preliminary drawings for Timberline Lodge at Mount Hood, Oregon. One description of Underwood reads, “Working within the national parks, Underwood’s greatest triumph was in defining the rustic style as envisioned by Stephen Mather. Trained in the California arts and crafts movement from 1911 to 1912, Underwood extended the concepts to the use of natural materials—stonework and log work—in natural settings.” Stephen Mather, whose vision both inspired and guided Underwood, had a passion for the natural world, mountains and the outdoors as well as a knack for marketing. He was at the same time an industrialist and conservationist and, as president and owner of Thorkildsen-Mather Borax Company, became a millionaire selling 20 Mule Team Borax detergent and household cleanser. An early member of the Sierra Club, Mather climbed Mount Rainier and was both a friend and admirer of John Muir and his ideals. Mather was assistant secretary of the interior, lobbied for the establishment of the National Park Service and was appointed as its first director by President Woodrow Wilson. He was described as “…physically active, pursuing hiking and mountaineering, often squeezed into a frenzied travel schedule related to his business and the parks.” That is, the roots of the tradition of the rustic architecture that serves the culture of physical activity and love for the environment that is modern Sun Valley were well established long before the Resort was a gleam in Averell Harriman’s eye, and those roots are evident in the current renovation of the Sun Valley Lodge. Mather’s vision included rustic, elegant accommodations “surrounded by scenic resources and natural areas for the public good.” Sun Valley fits that description. The complete overhaul and renovation of the existing lodge began last April and is scheduled to be completed next June. Local architectural firm Ruscitto/Latham/Blanton is the architect for the project. They have worked with the Holdings and The Resort for more than 20 years, including the construction of Warm Springs, Seattle Ridge, River Run and Carol’s Dollar Mountain lodges as well as the Sun Valley Golf and Nordic facility, the Sun Valley Pavilion and the Sun Valley Inn and Ballroom expansions. The interior design is by the Boston design firm of Frank Nicholson, whose work can be seen in the River Run Lodge, the Inn and the Pavilion. The lodge was stripped to its skeleton frame with all new plumbing, HVAC, electrical, fire sprinkler and a new insulated exterior envelope, including replacement of the original windows. Also, a new roof will replace the current roof, but the renovation will not significantly change the exterior of the lodge. However, a new and separate 30,000-square-foot building addition adjacent to it will house the new and expanded spa, salon, treatment rooms, soaking tubs, relaxing lounges, fitness and meeting room facilities. The renovations also include a new heated swimming pool and expanded pool area with a pool-side café, whirlpool and firepit areas. The Resort promises that “the project will add new larger guest rooms as well as update the lobby, restaurant, lounge and other guest amenities. Some of the smallest rooms will be combined to create suites with fireplaces and expanded bath areas with large showers, soaking tubs, vanity and dressing areas. The lobby will be enhanced and expanded to provide space for more gathering and visiting while enjoying the views of the terrace, ice skating and the ski mountain. With these improvements, the utmost care will be taken to maintain the character and essence of this magnificent, historic, iconic building.” The new Sun Valley Lodge is scheduled to open in June of this year.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JANUARY 7 FROM PICABO ANGLER

he weather for winter fishing this week is perfect! A little overcast, temps slightly above and below freezing, fresh snow to pull the skiers onto the hill and a time of season synonymous with epic winter fishing all adds up to a great week. The Big Wood is among the best winter fly fisheries in the West. If anyone tells you differently, they haven’t seen the daily dry-fly activity that takes place on this river when the conditions are like they are right now. Fishing Midge Clusters and Trailing Shuck patterns can be very rewarding! Perhaps the best show this week—and one we’ve been waiting for—is the Streamer fishing on Silver Creek. With enough warmth, the snow on the banks is melting, the ice is letting go and the perfect combination of slightly muddy water and fish that have been under the ice for a week, hungry, has arrived. If you have an itch to try and catch big fish, as opposed to the numbers you would catch in the Wood, then come on down to Silver Creek. Picabo Angler remains open all winter. Flies and a hot lunch are readily available! Warmer days also mean destinations like the South Fork of the Boise and the Big Lost River will be easier to reach and easier to fish without the Arctic conditions. If you want to go a bit farther and definitely stay warm, come all the way to the Expo Center in Boise this weekend. We will be there for the Western Idaho Fly Fishing Expo. Most Idaho fly shops are represented along with many manufacturers, showing off the New Year models of everything! A perfect weekend trip would be hitting the expo early one morning and then hitting the South Fork of the Boise on the way home. If you go, bring Zebra Nymphs, Zug Bugs, Red Squirrel Nymphs and Girdle Bugs. There may be some dryfly opportunity as well, so bring your favorite Midge dry flies as well. If you decide to head in the other direction, the Big Lost will be fishing well. The dry-fly activity may not be as certain as other destinations, but the Nymphing should be excellent. The Lost receives very little pressure this time of year, and you could even have the whole river to yourself on a weekend. No matter where you fish, be safe! Have a great New Year and enjoy our incredible winter fisheries! Happy fishing, everyone!

The Hailey Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and staff look forward to working on behalf of Hailey, our members and community to keep Hailey vibrant and economically Healthy! Last year—2014—was a fantastic year, as we slowly but steadily began to climb back toward a strong economy. The Chamber is pleased to welcome our most recent new members: Alchemy Creation LLC, Dang’s Thai Cuisine & Sushi Bar, Eye On Sun Valley, Hurtig Shooting Center, Marketron Broadcast Solutions LLC, and S L Viau MBA CPA. We thank all our renewing members for their continued support and strong business collaboration to keep Hailey a unique place—a live-workand-play-right-in-our-own-

We hope you make a resolution this year to take advantage of all the ways we can help you prosper and succeed!

The most important element of education at a ‘Big Picture Learning’ school is that students learn in the real world. The main component of every student’s education is “Learning Through Internship,” or LTI. In LTI, the student completes a project that benefits the student and the mentor at the internship site—typically, a local business or agency. This will be a great opportunity for input from the business community in person.

Cold-Related Conditions & Agriculture BY SARAH BUSDON

This is part one of a two-part series.

Farmers and ranchers complete tasks in all types of weather. Extreme weather conditions put agricultural producers at risk for heat-related and cold-related illnesses and injuries. Individuals working in extremely cold or wet weather can experience such occupational health conditions as hypothermia, frostbite, trench foot and chilblains. The four environmental factors that cause cold-related illnesses are: • low temperature • strong and/or cool winds • dampness • cold water

The most dangerous factor in winter weather is wind chill, a measure of the rate at which skin exposed to the combined effects of wind and cold loses heat. When wind increases, the body loses heat at a faster rate, which causes body temperature to decrease. Individuals generate body heat from food and through muscular activity and lose heat through convection, conduction, radiation, and sweating. In general, the processes of generating and losing body heat are balanced, resulting in a constant body temperature. When a person’s body temperature drops below the normal temperature of 98.6°F., he or she may experience blood vessel constriction and decreased peripheral blood flow, putting the person at risk for

them when she was six years old. “Everyone in my family is heavily into sports and I had done gymnastics and both my mother and grandmother had danced,” she says. “My earliest memory was of sitting in the studio and the teacher pushed our toes down without bending our knees. I was the only one who could do it and I was so proud. She said that I had really good feet for pointe shoes.” Her first real performance came at the age of seven in Alice In Wonderland. “I remember being backstage and I was crying and my stomach hurt so much and I was so nervous because there were so many people there to watch us,” she says. “I ended up having so much fun and I was just in a small part but I did really well. I’ve dealt with stage fright for a long time but today it’s fine. In eighth grade I did a performance with Company B, which we presented to the parents. I was really nervous, but my coach said I did amazing and to stop worrying about it. Last year I played the witch in Hansel and Gretel and I was completely over it.” Now, she “lives” for performing. “It’s your five minutes of fame and it gives people the chance to see all the hard work that you’ve put into [your performance],” she says. That hard work also translates into every part of Robideaux’s life. tws

La Fiesta De Los Reyes Magos (The Three Kings Celebration) POR (BY) ANA MARIA CUNEO

En español:

Ayer fue el día de los Reyes Magos. Conocida también como el Día de Epifanía, la fecha es observada en toda Latinoamérica. Conmemora la ocasión cuando Gaspar, Melchor y Baltazar, tres magos u hombres sabios del oriente del Mediterráneo, viajaron hasta Belén llevando ofrendas para el niño Jesús. Cuando la iglesia cristiana substituyó con esta celebración los antiguos festejos paganos del solsticio invernal, dio lugar a una hermosa tradición. En muchos países donde se habla español los niños no reciben regalos navideños hasta el 6 de enero. Pero saben que tal como el Papá Noel norteamericano viaja en su trineo desde el Polo Norte, los sabios del oriente atraviesan el firmamento con sus camellos cargados de regalos para todos los niños buenos. También saben que en esa noche un rayo de luna brilla sobre la tierra, formando un sendero por el cual los Reyes bajan a comenzar su tarea de dejar obsequios en cada par de zapatos. Cada año, en la víspera de la fecha, mi familia se congregaba en la casa de la abuela para celebrar y para entonces hasta mi primo Jorge, “el terror del barrio,” ya se había convertido en el niño más juicioso del mundo. Para los más pequeños era imposible conciliar el sueño. ¿A qué hora vienen? preguntaban una y otra vez. Al primer quiquiriquí del gallito pigmeo que reinaba en el gallinero de la abuela, alguien se despertaba y la casa entera se alborotaba. ¡Finalmente los Reyes Magos habían llegado! Luego, la abuela servía la Rosca de Reyes—un pan dulce tradicional que escondía en su interior una codiciada imagen de plástico del Niño Jesús.

They also know that on that night a ray of moonlight shines upon earth, creating a road for the Kings to come down and start their task of leaving a gift on each pair of shoes they find. Every year, on the eve of the Kings’ arrival, my family gathered at Grandma’s house to celebrate, and by then even my cousin, Jorge, “the terror of the neighborhood,” was on his best behavior. For the little ones, it was impossible to fall asleep. “At what time would they get here?” they would ask over and over again. To the first cock-a-doodle-doo of the pigmy rooster who reigned over Grandma’s chicken coop, someone would wake up and as soon as the discovery was made, giggles were heard everywhere—the Three Kings had arrived! Afterwards, Grandma would serve the Rosca de Reyes—a traditional sweet bread that came with a plastic image of the baby Jesus hidden inside. When my family immigrated to the U.S., the magi stopped coming by. But, when my children were born, the Kings reassumed their annual visits, bringing gifts of enchantment to our lives. Student’s Corner Can you find the onomatopoeic word? Notice how it is different for each language.

Cuando mi familia inmigró a los Estados Unidos, los Tres Magos dejaron de venir. Pero al nacer mis hijos, los Reyes reanudaron sus visitas anuales, trayendo regalos de magia a nuestras vidas. Rincón Del Estudiante ¿Puedes encontrar la palabra onomatopéyica? Nota la diferencia para cada idioma. In English: Yesterday was the Feast of the Three Kings. Also known as Day of Epiphany, the occasion is celebrated throughout Latin America. It commemorates the time when Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, three magi from east of the Mediterranean, traveled to Bethlehem carrying gifts for the baby Jesus. When the Christian church replaced pagan winter solstice festivities with this event, an enchanted tradition began. In many Spanish-speaking countries, children don’t get Christmas gifts until Jan. 6. But, they know that just as the Anglo Santa Claus flies his sleigh from the North Pole, the three wise men from the Orient cross the heavens with their camels loaded with gifts for all good children.

Top 10 Holiday Season Moments

BY BRENNAN REGO

ptimists, it’s time to enjoy some hardwon R&R after a great holiday season. The peak-season buzz in the Wood River Valley always means fun and hard work, but it also means something more than a perfect ski day or a never-ending shift; it means the holiday spirit is alive and well in the Valley. This place truly is Winter Wonderland USA. I have always spent the holidays in the Valley, at least since I can remember. My family moved here from Guatemala when I was two, so I suppose my first couple Christmases were green. But for me, Christmas connotes snow and all the recreational and business opportunities that come along with it. This year, we even had a good ol’-fashioned snowstorm on Christmas Eve to kickstart the season. I’m sure there are plenty of other wonderful spots across the U.S. and around the world that I should check out this time of year. Perhaps one day I will. But for now, this is my favorite place to spend the holidays, and I had an absolute blast this time around. The following are my top 10 favorite moments from this year’s holiday season:

9) Watching people have fun doing an un countable number of different winter sports. 8) Reveling in the great art scene, from Sun Valley Gallery Association’s Gallery Walk to all sorts of spirited local performances. 7) Playing Santa at Kiwanis of Hailey and the Wood River Valley’s “Winter Wonder land” event. 6) Seeing business owners smile. 5) Going on a sleigh ride. 4) Watching Ketchum Police Chief Dave Kass- ner chuckle as he issued tickets to absurdly parked cars on Christmas Eve. Passersby cheered his early Christmas presents, especially one that he bestowed on an automobile parked in the middle of the intersection of 5th St. and East Ave.—right in front of the police station. 3) Walking through Ketchum in the slowly falling snow on Christmas Eve. 2) Spending time with family and visiting friends. 1) Starting the new year with a great ski day. “The Bright Side” is The Weekly Sun’s positive voice by Editor Brennan Rego.

Holiday Looks That Are So Last Year BY MARYLAND DOLL

...Keeping an eye on the ups and downs of fashion in the Wood River Valley. Here are three looks you inevitably (and unfortunately) encountered over the holidays that shouldn’t make their way into 2015: The ‘Fur Faux Pa’ Dripping from head to toe in pelts of all colors and species, the “Fur Faux Pa” has no idea that it isn’t actually that cold outside. While I agree a tasteful fur accent can be a very chic addition to any look, I don’t find the same merit in a complete fur tuxedo. You may spot the Fur Faux Pa dressed for an Icelandic hiking excursion while window shopping on Sun Valley Road or flaunting their PETA-prohibited getup in the frozen food section at the grocery store. Fur Faux Pas usually come in herds of two to three and their yearly migration has taken them through the heart of the Sun Valley area for generations. The ‘Lulu Lemom’ Yes, she’s a mom. Yes, she’s busy. No, she did not work out this morning. The Lulu Lemom knows she can get away with this look here in the “Land of Leggings” and is fully prepared to wear this outfit all winter long in different combinations of shameless branding. Between caravanning her family to Dollar Mountain, she grocery shops, gets pedicures and plans on doing yoga tomorrow. To her credit, the Lulu Lemom is ex-tremely fit despite never actually breaking a sweat. The ‘Ski Suit’ Ok, we get it: you went skiing today. What we don’t understand is why you decided ski pants were a reasonable substitution for actual pants once your ski day was over. Ski Suits shuffle around town in Burton and Bogner alike, claiming they “just got off the hill” to anyone within ear-shot. Have you ever tried to cross your legs in ski pants!? Living in your ski clothes is no walk in the park, yet the Ski Suit makes it look like a ride down the bunny hill. To them, there is very little difference between a ski town and a ski lodge. Maryland Doll is a recent college graduate from UC Santa Barbara. Her hobbies include online shopping with imaginary money, overanalyzing social situations and getting to the ski hill by 9 a.m., at least in spirit if not in body. tws

STORY AND PHOTO BY FRAN JEWELL

o, here I am, giving all my expert advice on raising a puppy; a WONDERFUL puppy, I might add! Kalidor has learned so much over the past few weeks. What I have shared are all the great things he is learning, but I haven’t shared the “dark side.” I run into people in the post office and they ask how Kalidor is, then add, “Oh, WHY do I even ask!? I know he is FABULOUS with all the work you put into him!” Well, yes, I have put a ton of work into him and he is doing fabulous. But here is what you haven’t heard. Three times since I have had him, he wet in the house. All three times, the phone rang and I was distracted. All three times, he had gone to the door to let me know he had to go out. And, here I was not paying attention!!! All three times he was not in his crate or exercise pen as I prescribe to my clients to do! On the way to Boise, he was safely in his crate, BUT he pulled my down jacket that was NEXT to his crate through the side and chewed a hole all the way through the jacket, ruining the zipper. When I opened the back of the van, feathers came poofing out like a cloud and stuck all over his sweet, innocent face! Over the years, I have had 5 down jackets ruined by my dogs pulling them through the crate or off of the coat rack to chew where they smelled treats. You would think I would learn after the first jacket! I didn’t close his crate well one afternoon, and within seconds I saw this black streak pass by my office door. Then back again! Yes, in a few short minutes, I taught Kalidor that if he tried hard enough, he could escape confinement. Do you have any idea what that can mean? It can mean he will try every barrier, which can become fence climbing!!!! I allowed him in the kitchen while I

filled his Kong toy. He leaned against the cupboard door and the spring-loaded hinge popped the door open! So, guess what he learned next?! “If I push the door, it opens!” Now he regularly goes into the kitchen to see what is behind Door Number One! I must now teach him he is not allowed in the kitchen, especially since now he can see the countertop and discovered that there is FOOD up there! We ALL make mistakes. Sometimes our own expertise is hard to apply to one’s self. And we must all learn from those mistakes to do better next time! Fortunately, nothing tragic happened to Kalidor because I was distracted on the phone, but I did have to make HUGE mental note to NOT do that again. We are all learning in the process. Even the experts! Fran Jewell is an IAABC Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, NADOI Certified Instructor #1096 and the owner of Positive Puppy Dog Training, LLC in Sun Valley.

‘Inherent Vice’ Jon rated this movie

Far Out

BY JONATHAN KANE

ig this, man—if you are looking for one groovy time at the flicks, then rush right out and take in master director Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie, “Inherent Vice.” Sort of a surf noir, the detective yarn that closely resembles ‘70s’ classics “The Long Goodbye” and “Chinatown” is based on America’s greatest living novelist Thomas Pynchon’s 2009 novel and is the first of his works to be adapted to the big screen. Who better than Anderson, who wrote the extremely faithful adaptation, and directed to make a movie about Southern California at the end of the hippies’ incredible ride. The year is 1970. The place, Gordito Beach, based on Manhattan Beach, and the time heavy with the Manson murders of August 9, 1969, that changed everything. From that jumping point Anderson has woven an amazing tapestry of the people and their time that, at many points, barely makes sense but is so howlingly funny that

the best advice is to strap yourself in for the ride and let the movie wash over you like a drug-induced dream. The story revolves around Joaquin Phoenix as a stoned-out private investigator named Doc who actually works out of a doctor’s office. An ex-girlfriend has shown up (Katherine Waterson, Sam’s daughter) to ask for help finding her married boyfriend—real estate mogul Mickey Wolfmann (Eric Roberts). This is the jumping-off point for an insane narrative that involves drug cartels, neo-Nazis, Black Panthers, and something called The Golden Fang that might be a yacht or a crazed group of drug-using dentists led by an hysterical Martin Short. There is also a straight-laced detective played beautifully by Josh Brolin that is the yin to Phoenix’s yang. The movie is not for everyone and will have some scratching their heads, but its status as an instant cult classic is insured, as is Anderson’s stature in the pantheon of great American film directors. tws
