Some Weekly Sun staff members let out their artistic and political sides on Sunday morning by drawing “Je Suis Charlie” in the freshly fallen snow. The Sun stands with French newspaper Charlie Hebdo in that freedom of expression should not be bullied by fear. And, The Sun also believes the strongest impacts can be made through statements that don’t alienate large segments of any given population. To read an editorial on the current debate about freedom of expression surrounding Charlie Hebdo and to view an original cartoon inspired by the debate, see page 14. tws

‘Next To Normal’ Hits The Spot Rock Musical Plans To Take Ketchum By Storm BY WEEKLY SUN STAFF

he Pulitzer Prize-winning musical “Next to Normal” will be coming to the Wood River Valley area’s newest performance venue, The Spot—located at 220 Lewis St. in Ketchum—Jan. 24-26 and 29-31. All performances will start at 7:30 p.m. “Next to Normal” is a rock musical and emotional powerhouse that addresses such issues as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, suicide, drug abuse and the underbelly of suburban life. Because of the

strong subject matter and language, the show is recommended for ages thirteen and up. “Next to Normal” is one of only eight musicals to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, putting this show on caliber with the works of Sondheim, Rodgers and Hammerstein and Gershwin. “This is no small feat,” musical director Grant Carey said in an interview. “It is a masterfully written show with the most mind-blowingly brilliant structure. Beyond that, the show has the ability to rock and move people to their very core.” Local Sara Gorby will star as Diana, a diagnosed bipolar mother who

ailey nightlife is getting a helping hand thanks to Nina Chitnatham and her recent additions to Taste of Thai restaurant, which she has owned solely for 16 years and counting. The eatery has always been a big hit in the community, keeping locals’ Thai cuisine cravings at bay from its prominent location on Main Street in Hailey. This past December, Taste of Thai decided to undergo some renovations to its banquet hall, creating a delightful cocktail lounge. “I used to own all four Taste of Thai restaurants, which included Boise, Twin Falls, Ketchum and Hailey,” Chitnatham said in an interview. “However, I have now sold all of them but the Hailey location, so I can have more time to devote to this restaurant and this project.” The cocktail lounge includes a long bar that serves beer and wine, a few tables and a couch where guests can watch sports on the flat-screen TV above or enjoy the fireplace below. The warm and cozy atmosphere has a sophisticated touch thanks to the furnishings and carved wooden bar. “My favorite part is the lighting,” waitress Michelle Kukurin said in an interview. “It gives the room a better ambiance and makes for a more intimate atmosphere. I definitely think this lounge is one of a kind and something we desperately needed in Hailey.” Thursday through Sunday, the lounge hosts live music. The lineup starts with a guitar and violin trio on Thursday nights that plays contemporary music and standards. They are followed by local old school rock-an’-roll favorites John (“Johnny D”) Djasran and Patty Parsons. The music starts at 6:30 p.m. and continues as late as Taste of Thai stays busy. “We see it as a good sign that the business is building, because we’ve been staying open later and later each night,” Chitnatham said. The music that is being played is geared toward all ages, so young and old can enjoy the new cocktail lounge, which Th e W e e k l y S u n •

some have dubbed “Nina’s Nightclub” after the owner. Although the lounge may feel like a separate entity from the restaurant, patrons have the option to be seated in the lounge area to enjoy their meal or in the main dining room, depending on the kind of atmosphere they’d prefer. Also, the lounge can be reserved for special occasions or large parties. Because of the wall between the two sides of the restaurant, the wall blocks out the noise and gives the lounge guests a more private experience. “I am just so grateful to the community for all their support,” Chitnatham explained. “Sixteen years is a long time to own a restaurant, and we wanted to give back to the town that has done so much for us. This cocktail lounge might be the closest thing Hailey has to a nightclub, and it’s exciting to be able to offer that experience to our customers.” tws

Owner Nina Chitnatham has spent the last 16 years bringing delicious Thai cuisine to the Valley, and now she’s ready to expand her business and help liven up Hailey nightlife. Photo by Maryland Doll

Korby Lenker played in the Wood River Valley back in August of 2013 and is continuing his Northwest tour with a show in the Valley this Friday, Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. at the Coffee Grinder in Ketchum. It’s been said of Lenker and his guitar, “He doesn’t just play it… he becomes it. Or maybe it becomes him.” Lenker is a prolific singer, songwriter, musician and author, having just released his book, “Medium Hero and Other Stories.” “I like it simple,” Lenker said. “I just do. As soon as there’s a weird chord, I’m like, ‘Why? That’s all been done. Who cares?’ What’s really hard is to hit people in the heart and to reach them.

“What’s really hard is to hit people in the heart and to reach them. That’s what I’m trying to do—make music that’s easily likeable but with a kind of secret sophistication.” –Lenker Artist phistication. I’m always trying to write a song that you can hum along with on the first listen. So you’re like, ‘Yeah, I’d like to hear that again.’ Then maybe you hear it 20 times and you’re like, ‘Damn, that’s actually something I’m going to think about now.’ “ Earlier last year, Lenker’s song, “Forbidden Fruit,” was featured in two episodes on ABC Family’s “The Fosters.” An abbreviated list of Lenker’s achievements, so far, include a significant amount of airplay on the legendary Seattle indierock station KEXP, a BBC 2 interview with Bob Harris, which Lenker says is only about the highest honor a rootsy singer-songwriter touring the U.K. can get, opening slots for acts ranging from Willie Nelson to Ray LaMontagne, Nickel Creek, Keith Urban, Susan Tedeschi and Tristan Prettyman, a successful run with one of the hottest young West Coast bluegrass bands of the aughts and wins in the Merlefest folksong-writing contest as well as the Kerrville Folk Festival’s elite New Folk songwriting competition. Follow Lenker on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, where viewers can see him perform many of his recordings. Admission Friday night at the Grinder is $10 at the door, with $1 beers, thanks to the folks at Sawtooth Brewery, which Lenker says, “We all think is a pretty good idea.” All beer money goes directly to Wild Gift – Empowering Better World Entrepreneurs. You’ll love Lenker! Along with the guitar, he plays a mean ukulele. The Coffee Grinder is located at 4th Street and Leadville in Ketchum. Th e W e e k l y S u n •

Air Service And Local Spending Up In 2014 New Flights Bring New Visitors, New Money

Passengers crowd into the Friedman Memorial Airport terminal to check in for their flights during the holidays. Recently-added flights set a record number of cities serving the airport in 2014. Photo courtesy of Fly Sun Valley Alliance

BY MARIA PREKEGES

he addition in 2014 of daily nonstop jet flights from San Francisco and Denver to the Sun Valley area has increased the number of cities with nonstop service to the Valley to a record of five. The uptick in flights and the upgrade to jet service resulted in a boost to the number of incoming visitors, especially first-time visitors, to the area last year. With those first-time visitors came first-time money spent. The estimated direct-spend economic impact from all new first-time visitors was $16.3 million, with the data collected from the 2014 Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN) Passenger Survey Report. For the winter months, nearly four in five passengers traveling are visitors, totaling 61 percent; part-time residents totaled 18 percent (for a total of 79 percent visitor/ part-time residents); with the remaining 21 percent are local residents. The overall economic impact to the Wood River Valley from air passengers is about $105 million, according to the survey. Visitors had more flight options, which led to more flight booking lead-time.

Travelers began considering a trip to the Valley in advance up to five-plus months. More also booked flights four-plus months in advance, up from the previous year. There was also an increase in visitors considering flying directly into Sun Valley instead of an alternate airport. With the most flights in history coming into the Valley, where do we go from here? “They’re not adding any new service for the winter 2014/summer 2015 season and concentrating on the current service as it continues to build and grow, and then they’ll be looking at options for winter 2015/ summer 2016,” stated Carol Waller, director of Fly Sun Valley Alliance, a local nonprofit that advocates for increased air service to the Wood River Valley. Waller also stated, “I think it’s important to highlight the number of new passengers that came in on the flights. We’re estimating that there were 12,000 from January to October 2014, with an economic impact of an estimated $16.3 million. The increased air service seems to be working.” Eric Seder, Fly Sun Valley Alliance president, said, “Improved air service has had a very immediate and

positive economic impact on our community, bringing in new visitors, more repeat visitor trips, and new dollars into our Valley.” With more people traveling into the Sun Valley airport and construction at the airport terminal going on simultaneously, how did the increased arrival of passengers impact the airport during the busy holiday season? “The holiday influx of travelers and the construction went well,” Rick Baird, Friedman Memorial Airport manager, said. “It’s not as convenient today as it will be in the future, but realize that when we only have one terminal and we’re making improvements to that terminal, we can’t shut down; we have to work with the construction project and the travelers. Everyone is working together, people have been nice, and it’s going along as we expected.” The Friedman Memorial Airport air passenger studies are done each winter and summer season by Fly Sun Valley Alliance through RRC Associates research consulting firm and in partnership with Friedman Memorial Airport. Complete survey results can be found at www.flysunvalleyalliance.com.

he 19th Annual Galena and The Trails Winter Benefit, to be held Jan. 31 in the Limelight Room of the Sun Valley Inn, is a special fundraising evening to uphold what Galena Lodge concessionaire Don Shetler calls “a unique community gem.” The night’s festivities entice, with offerings of a three-course meal, wines donated by Steve and Melissa Theis of TasteVin, a silent auction, ‘Stand for Galena Paddle Raise,’ an ‘Almost Live Auction’ and music to dance the night away performed by the High Street Band. The Limelight Room, located at the Sun Valley Inn, will be the venue for the gala evening. Dining and delights kick off at 5:30 p.m. and last well into the night. RSVPs for the event are requested no later than Jan. 26. Those interested in attending are also reminded that reservations placed prior to Jan. 21 receive a special rate of $95 per person, with prices rising to $110 thereafter. “Galena Lodge and its trail systems are a unique asset to our community and its history,” Shetler said. The storied history and sheer age of the Galena location places the lodge among a short list of such facilities yet in existence. “There are not many lodges still standing that date back to the ‘20s,” Shetler continued. “And not only is Galena still here, but it is available for public enjoyment.” All proceeds stemming from this year’s Winter Benefit will go to the upkeep and continued growth of both summer and winter seasonal activities at Galena Lodge. “Funds go to improvement and sustainment of trail systems and machinery as well as the community-owned lodge itself which uses no tax dollars in its operation. All financing used for this piece of Blaine County history comes solely from fundraising efforts and payment of trail fees,” Blaine County Rep. Megan Stevenson said. “We expect that approximately 400 guests will attend this year’s event,” Stevenson said. Benefit organizers urge that tickets be sought promptly as early sales indicate the Jan. 31 event will be a quick sell-out. “Each year’s benefit just gets better and better,” Jenny Busdon said, a 19-year participant to the benefit’s organization and ardent supporter of Galena Lodge. Auction items offered during the evening include bike gear, Nordic ski gear, luxurious getaways, and much more. The 19th Annual Galena and The Trails Winter Benefit is also the kick-off event to the upcoming Sun Valley Nordic Festival Week. “We are lucky to have a lodge like Galena for our use,” Shetler said. This sentiment was seconded in the words of Megan Stevenson who added, “Galena is truly a beloved lodge nestled within a wonderful wilderness available to be appreciated by visitors and residents alike.” For more information on the Galena and The Trails Winter Benefit or the Galena Lodge location, visit the Blaine County Recreation District website at www.bcrd. org or www.galenalodge.com.

he foot-stomping local duo “Cheap Yellow Beer” will take over Whiskey Jacques’ on Friday, Jan. 23. They promise a rowdy night of grooving tunes and smiles. Doors will open at 9 p.m. and the cover charge will be $5. Formed in the summer of 2014, the band Cheap Yellow Beer consists of Tylor Bushman and Spike Coggins. Bushman is on the guitar, slide guitar, stomp board, tambourine, harp and upright bass. His partner in crime, Coggins, tackles the banjo, harp, kazoo, washboard, shakers, bells and whistles and rattling chain, and vocalizes with Bushman for some beautiful mountain music. “The style of music we choose to play is a foot-stomping, chain-rattling, banjo-banging, slide-guitar-slinging mountain music,” Bushman said in an interview. “We try to tell some stories that haven’t been told and some that have.” When the two musicians

met, everything fell into place. They were both mountain men with a strong passion for music, and Bushman said they were able to combine their solo acts “to make one crazy night of foot-stomping, front-porch-blues-picking tunes.” The rest is history. Musical influences for Bushman and Coggins are diverse and include other bands based in the Wood River Valley. Inspirations for Cheep Yellow Beer include Kent Mulldog Muller, singer songwriter J.R. Hood, Dayner Danielson, William Lawrence Blankenship, George DeVore, Bushman Brothers Band, Old Death Whisper, Tylor & the Train Robbers, Possessed by Paul James, Hillstomp and the Burger Man Tony Pfau. Bushman referred to Pfau as the “velvet voice of the Valley.” Since their launch, Cheap Yellow Beer completed their “Mess on the Floor Tour,” which spanned the West. Venues that the duo have played include the Power House in Hailey, Silver Dollar Saloon in Bellevue,

Highlands Hollow in Boise, The Land Mark in Hazelton, The Stage Door in Oregon, Evelyn’s in California and The Garage in Salt Lake City, Utah. Additionally, the band has made several radio appearances on the Rabble Rouser Radio Show, The Vine and The Plow Zone Show. Above all, the band believes that audience interaction irrefutably helps the energy of the show grow and thrive. Bushman and Coggins want their audiences to dance and stomp along with them till the cows come home. “We try to get the crowd as involved as we can,” Bushman said. “Music is a huge part of having a good time, and if it isn’t, it should be.” Break out the boots and join Cheap Yellow Beer at their upcoming concert and look out for more exciting news from the newly formed duo in the future. Whiskey Jacques’ is located at 251 North Main Street, Ketchum. For more information on the band or the show, call 208-726-5297. tws

‘Tis The Season For Steak & Football

Introducing Seasons Steakhouse And Sports Bar

Sports enthusiasts rejoice! Seasons Steakhouse is now a sports bar as well. Customers can now enjoy the gourmet food and liquor, beer, and wine selection the restaurant has become known for while cheering on their favorite teams. Courtesy photo

BY MARYLAND DOLL

t’s a new year and a fresh start for a Hailey establishment that prides itself on being a restaurant locals enjoy. When Seasons Steakhouse opened its doors in June of 2013, Hailey was treated to a restaurant for all occasions— tasteful enough to host a birthday or graduation party and unpretentious enough to host a fantasy football league. However, over the past few months, owners Marc and Freda Avery think that message might have gotten lost in translation. Therefore, Seasons has recently added a little more to their moniker in the hopes of reminding residents what the Avery’s restaurant is all about. Seasons Steakhouse and Sports Bar is much the same as Seasons was before, with some special additions to make it more accessible to sports enthusiasts. “People were classifying us as this upscale restaurant and I think it made the community cautious to come in if it wasn’t for a special occasion,” Marc Avery said in an interview. The restaurant and sports bar now offers patrons an added lounge area, complete with couches and a large flatscreen TV, as well as a full bar. Seasons acquired its liquor license on Oct. 31, 2014. The establishment also removed the top wall panels that had previously separated the restaurant from the bar, making the TVs more visible to patrons sitting at dining tables. “I think having a sports bar and restaurant in one will be great for business and great for our community,” Marc said. “Only here can you get gourmet food and a classy ambiance while watching your favorite teams play or having a casual drink with friends.” Marc has been in the restaurant business for many years, starting with one of Ketchum’s favorite places for authentic Mexican food, Mama Inez, which he ran from 1986-1992. “I loved being in the restaurant business and I’d been in Ketchum for a while, but I really wanted to come south and liven up Hailey!” he explained. In 2013, he and his wife got that opportunity when they opened Seasons on Main Street in Hailey, right next door to Luke’s Family Pharmacy. “The Valley has been very receptive to us, I think people get excited when a new restaurant comes to town and at first there’s always going to be some trial and error but, luckily, we’ve got a great team here,” Marc explained. “Even though we’ve made a few changes this year, our hope is to continue to serve Hailey with great food, great service and now great sports.” Seasons offers a happy hour from 4-6:30 p.m. daily and also serves what manager Brenda Boyle refers to as the “best nachos in the Valley!” tws

brief

Gear Up For The Boulder Mountain Tour The Boulder Mountain Tour (BMT) is back, with the date for the Nordic race set for Feb. 7. Despite national recognition, the BMT is a community race at its core. It is a celebration of the people and environment that make the Wood River Valley worthy of the title Nordic Town USA. As the BMT has expanded, it has grown more accessible; options like the Half Boulder and the commemorative 40th Wave give community members the opportunity to click into some skinny skis and cross the finish line. Storied blue skies and flawless snow attract racers to the BMT, and the Sun Valley Nordic Festival lures lovers of mountain life. Seventy percent of BMT starters will be out-of-town visitors who have traveled anywhere from a few hours to a few days to race the 34 kilometers at the base of the Boulder Mountains and celebrate the culture and community of cross-country skiing for the rest of the week. A background in racing is not needed to participate. Volunteers can help at the start line, cheer on racers at Phantom Hill, support one of the many feed stations along the course or clang a cowbell as loud as possible when racers enter the finish zone. To ski the BMT this year, sign up online at bouldermountaintour.com. For a full calendar of events, visit nordictownusa.com. 10

he City of Stanley honors winter and has tons of events booked over the next few months that’ll be fun for the whole family. “We cherish our winters,” said Stanley Chamber of Commerce spokesperson Ellen Libertine in an interview. Winter is the season in which businesses, clubs and the city itself welcome friends and visitors. Stanley’s seasonal calendar is heavy with shows and events put on by a number of hosts in and around the city. The Mountain Village Resort Stanley Club, Boise Curling Club and Stanley Sluice are just a few of the establishments that are participating this year. “[Stanley] is full of recreational opportunities, serene beauty, abundant wildlife and many other opportunities that others do not experience,” Libertine explained. Area businesses agreed. “This time of year is a great opportunity to get people here and learn what Stanley’s all about in winter,” said Alan Rooney, general manager of Smiley Creek Lodge in an interview. The annual Stanley Outdoor Bonspiel will be held Jan. 23-25 at the Stanley ice rink. The event, hosted by the Boise Curling Club, will feature 16 teams. A free “Learn to Curl” class will also take place on Jan. 24. Live music will support the weekend curling extravaganza. Stone Seed of Boise will perform both Friday and Saturday at the Stanley Club. “Expect a wide range of new attractions and activities for the entire family, from demos and pond hockey to snow safety education, live music, competitions and all sorts of fun and hilarity,” the Stanley Chamber states in a recent news release.

February will mark the celebration of the Salmon River Snowmobilers Ball. The Feb. 14 event, to be held at the Stanley Club, will include a free live performance by artist New Transit, as well as a fun-run and raffle. Stanley’s third annual Winterfest will take place Friday, Feb. 20. The event will begin with a live performance by Pesky Grape Seeds at the Stanley Sluice. Over the ensuing days, Winterfest will include a free beach party on Feb. 20, live downtown performances by Stanley School of Rock, Cheap Yellow Beer, Tony Holiday and the Velvetones, and continued musical performances throughout the night. March will lay claim to the 13th annual Sawtooth Ski Festival. The multi-faceted cross-country event, which will take place March 7-8, will be put on courtesy of the Sawtooth Ski Club. The two days will feature an on-skis Poker Run for prizes and two fundraising gatherings, including a silent auction and a Soup Kitchen Social, to take place at the Alturas Lake Ski Trail. The beginning of March will also mark the annual Stanley Sled Dog Rendezvous. The canine-powered jaunt will be held Feb. 28 through March 1 and will feature live music at the Stanley Club. Also occurring in March, Stanley will see the return of Pesky Grape Seeds when they perform free of charge at the Stanley Sluice Ale House on March 19. “Stanley is a city of hearty souls who are always looking for ways to enrich their and others’ lives in winter, whether that be new and different events, bands, book clubs, recreational clinics, or instructional courses on many subjects,” Libertine said. “That’s why we say, ‘It is cold outside, just the way we like it!’” For more information regarding upcoming events, visit www.sobidaho.com, www.stanleycc.org or www.mountainvillage.com

‘A Whole New World Of Care’ Safe Haven To Hold Grand Opening

BY K. HOFFMAN

afe Haven Health Care’s Bell Mountain Village and Care Center in Bellevue will hold a grand opening on Saturday, Jan. 24, at 1:30 p.m. The opening will involve a ribbon-cutting ceremony and will provide attendees with free food, beverages and tours of the care center. The new facility, built on a 30-acre site, is owned by Safe Haven Health Care of Pocatello and is located at 620 North 6th Street in Bellevue. The goal of Safe Haven Health Care’s new facility is to provide the highest-level quality of care and a variety of other services for seniors and other patients in the most home-like setting. Bell Mountain Village and Care Center currently consists of three main buildings, all of which will be Medicaid and Medicare certified. Two of the buildings will accommodate the skilled nursing facilities, both containing 16 units. The third consists of the assisted living facility and is attached to the administration office and therapy center, which also houses up to 16 units. Depending on what will be most needed in the community, a plan for expansion can implement up to four

more buildings. “When we searched for the location, we wanted room for future expansion and the ability to build a campus-like setting,” explained Scott Burpee, CEO of Safe Haven Health Care, in an interview. The senior care facility offers inpatient and outpatient therapy along with skilled nursing care and assisted living. Bell Mountain Village will be the first of its kind in Idaho to combine the home-like atmosphere of assisted living with the skilled nursing services in one facility. All of the Bell Mountain Village resident rooms will be much larger than a typical nursing home. Several of the rooms can be utilized and accommodate residents in a setting similar to a small one-bedroom apartment. Those rooms will include microwaves, refrigerators and full baths with barrier-free showers. The dining room areas in each building will have the kitchen and cook integrated into the space, similar to a classic assisted-living setting. Also on site will be administration offices and a therapy center. The new state-of-the-art therapy center will include a warm-water therapy pool complete

with workout jets and an underwater treadmill. The therapy center and pool will be open to the public for outpatient services as well as to the residents on site. In the upcoming weeks following the opening, 22 residents of the old Blaine

Manor site in Hailey will be moved to one of the two skilled nursing units. “We are truly inventing the wheel here,” Burpee said. “Nursing homes for decades emulated a partial hospital model. We are totally breaking out of that

as never before in this state. Everyone is really excited to try on this new model and let our residents experience a whole new world of care.” For more Information, contact Bell Mountain Village and Care Center at 208-788-7180. tws

S- Live Music _- Benefit THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JAN 21ST FROM PICABO ANGLER

ear Angler,

While you’re reading this fishing report, I am in Cuba, aboard the Avalon II, fishing with some of the staff of Picabo Angler. We are part of a group that went with the Bonefish Tarpon Trust on an exploratory trip about 60 miles offshore. Before we left on this trip, we received a lot of questions and inquiries about the nature of our journey and how we went about it. There has been a lot of talk about Cuba in fishing circles as of late, and the reality is, there are very few if any bookings even available in the next few years. We have started working with Avalon [Cuban Fishing Centers] to provide fellow friends and patrons of Picabo Angler with this unique opportunity. A few things to know include the fact that Cuba has perhaps the last virgin coral reefs in the world. Fly-fishing-only is allowed in most areas and the cap on the number of anglers allowed to fish is very small—less anglers than visit Silver Creek Preserve in a year! There is still no way to just pick up and go fishing in Cuba the way we can in Mexico, the Bahamas, Belize, the Turks and Caicos, but if the embargo is truly lifted, the effect on the saltwater angler is most likely going to be dramatic and awesome! If Cuban fisheries open to a larger number of anglers and opportunities, places like the Yucatan and Andros Island are going to feel the effects in bookings. Prices will come down for lodges and guides around the Caribbean. The falling gas prices will also affect anglers that want to travel. Lodges that run boats, generators and trucks all day often fluctuate retail prices to meet higher fuel prices. We can hope they will also be able to shed some of this fuel expense to remain competitive with a massive new marketplace potentially opening up. The long and short of it is that the world events that are taking place right now have a profound effect on the fly-fishing industry and the traveling angler for decades and even generations to come. It is a fitting time of year to begin thinking about your own saltwater trip to fish for bonefish, permit, tarpon and snook. We have been all over the world’s flats with fly rods and we are happy to help you find the perfect spot for you and yours. We’ll be back in the shop next week! Happy fishing, everyone!

The Ski Sock Phenomenon

sun SOUL the weekly

‘toon

What Do Your Ski Socks Say About You?

BY MARIA PREKEGES

s I was putting on my ski boots the other day, I pulled out my ski socks and examined the toes to figure out which way they were worn last so I could put them on the same way. Yes, I said last. And yes, that means I had worn them before... the day before, and perhaps the day before that. Now, I realize that if you’re not a skier or snowboarder you might be thinking, Yuck! But for us folks who call this mountain home, the phenomenon of putting on dirty ski socks is not so unusual, at least I hoped that was the case. So, out of curiosity, and perhaps sheer embarrassment, I started asking around, hoping that I was the norm and not the exception to this spectacle. My chairlift rides became my investigative office, and I found that, in fact, I was the norm in getting the most out of my ski sock usage. The results of my polling showed that most people wash their socks every three days, on average. Some admitted that it’s much longer, that they go weeks—yes, weeks— without a clean pair of ski socks. There were a few who were not impressed with my question and admitted that they have shiny clean socks every time they ski. Good for them. Perhaps their washing skills might rub off on me. So, why don’t we wash our ski socks more often? The answers I heard were as plentiful as they are creative: I don’t have as many pairs as normal socks, as they’re more expensive; my feet don’t sweat in ski boots; or, I just forgot—all formidable excuses from those of us stuck in the ski sock rut! Is there a solution to this problem (beyond just simply washing your socks!)? A moral to the story? Of that, I am not certain. But what I do know is, whether you wash or not, it’s really all about enjoying our great mountain. tws

the bright side

Nous Somme (We Are) Yes To Peace BY BRENNAN REGO

have a memory of letting out a horrible word when I was quite little, and the person supervising me that day washed my mouth out with a bar of soap. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s experienced that lovely gag and no, I don’t condone it! I don’t remember which word I used or whether I knew what it meant. But, I do remember the soap’s acrid taste and I won’t forget promising myself as it muted me that nobody would ever do that to me again. The only question was: should I censor myself or refuse to be intimidated by the bitter bar? That experience may have played a small and subconscious role in my journey toward journalism. As a journalist, I deeply respect and appreciate freedom of expression. As such, I think it’s worth taking a moment to consider the current discussion on free speech surrounding the publication last week by French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo of a cartoon featuring an image of Prophet Muhammad. The image really could have been of any generic Muslim, though. The Weekly Sun stands with Charlie Hebdo. We will not accept a world in which bullies think they can arbitrate expression and act violently in their attempts to do so. We stand with the many publications that reprinted the cartoon after Hebdo published it, many on their covers, in a united howl advocating for freedom of expression. And, we at The Sun also stand by our own belief: to wield freedom of expression as an extraordinary tool to benefit the world, not to cause harm. Minimizing harm is a top rule in the Society of Professional Journalists’ code of ethics. That beautiful tool is what free speech should be all about. It shouldn’t be about seeing who can swear the most, who can print the most porn, who can assassinate a living dictator in a fictional movie or who can portray in a cartoon a figure that billions of people around the world are required by their religion not to depict. And, it’s most decidedly not about killing one another. Absolutism, extremism, fundamentalism at any end of any spectrum can be viciously dangerous. In one response to the Hebdo cartoon by a Muslim cartoonist, a character labeled as “anti-Muslim” has a snake coming out of his mouth and the same character—this time labeled as “anti-Semitic”—has a Star of David locking his lips. Don’t be the person with the snake coming out of your mouth; that’s the jackass who shouts “Fire!” in a crowded theatre. Don’t be the person who allows others to lock your lips; that’s the population that allows its liberties to be usurped one by one until, finally, even the right to advocate for a brighter future is lost. Find a strong middle path that allows you to land your points without alienating half your audience. Also, audiTh e W e e k l y S u n •

ence members should attempt not to self-alienate. Yes, we should be able to explore the full range of expression, but we should also take it upon ourselves to have some class— however we each define that. And we should take it upon ourselves to learn from other cultures instead of reacting violently to them. It’s not up to any of us or any government to judge or stop what someone else might say. It is indeed up to us to optimize and turn the volume up on what we individually and peacefully say. That’s what I learned through tasting soap all those years ago. To me, what stands out most about the response to the Hebdo cartoon from cartoonists around the world is that quite a few feature characters with similar tears as those shed by the figure in the Hebdo image. Many of us are just simply over the violence, on both sides of the so-called “aisle.” Just maybe, the current brutal insanity between faiths won’t be sustained throughout the entire 21st century. Perhaps we’ll reach a point when most human beings are simply no longer willing to accept the so-called “fact” that certain members of our species are going to slaughter each other en masse every so often, legally. Until then, we can only strive to listen to those who speak up against violence and to speak up so ourselves. A few years ago during a talk in the Wood River Valley, Tim O’Brien—a Vietnam veteran and the author of “The Things They Carried”—spoke a few words about war that I’ll never forget: “Absolutism is what war is,” he said, as he did choke on the words through his tears. “It’s one guy saying to another guy, ‘I’m so right and you’re so wrong that I’m going to kill you, and all your children.’ ” What a truly ridiculous idea. The bright side is, right now in this country we do all have the First Amendment right to say no to violence. In the spirit of the First Amendment, I recommend checking out these eye-opening productions and considering what the concept of free speech means to you, why we should stand up for it and why we should respect it:

•“The People vs. Larry Flynt” (1996), with Woody Harrelson as Hustler magazine kingpin Larry Flynt •“Howl” (2010), with James Franco as Beat poet Allen Ginsberg •“The Interview” (2014), with James Franco and Seth Rogen as fictional journalists tasked by the CIA to kill a foreign despot. • The Blatant County News (2014-2015, so far), with the full support of The Weekly Sun “The Bright Side” is The Weekly Sun’s positive voice by Editor Brennan Rego.

Citizen Four BY DICK DORWORTH

Wood River Sculpin J The Wood River sculpin. Courtesy image © Joseph Tomelleri (www.americanfishes.com)

TONY TAYLOR

ottus leiopomus has always been a good family name in the Valley. They have lived here 420 million years. Recent locals call them Wood River sculpin. They are in a class of fish called “spiny bottom feeders”—short on size (4 to 6 inches) but huge on ugly. They eat aquatic insects, lesser fish and small crustaceans. The Cottus find fast-flowing water in a riffle or near the streambank and grips the substrate with specialized caudal and pectoral fins. Their strategies are simple—to forage and to

wait, or some combination thereof. Larger predatory fish don’t like the spines on Cottus, especially the large dorsal spine. They usually ignore mature sculpin rather than eat them. Larger water birds do like to eat them and, in defense, evolution has moved the sculpin’s eyeballs to the forehead so they can see above. It doesn’t help the “ugly” at all, but it does keep them off a heron’s dinner plate. Within their diminutive habitat range, which is specific only to the Camas and the Big and Little Wood River drainages, sculpin enjoy robust populations. They have been unaffected by

local water diversions, poor land management systems and degraded water quality. The question is: what are the limits of abuse to the existing systems before they affect the vulnerability of Cottus. Predictive studies recommend a threatened species classification based on the singular biology of leiopomus and the limited distribution of this unique fish. In the world, there are no others. In a metaphorical sense, they are us. Tony Taylor is a longtime Hailey resident and local history buff. He enjoys skiing on soft snow and training horses in his free time. tws

ust two years ago, filmmaker Laura Poitras received her first encrypted e-mail from someone calling himself Citizen Four, a man claiming he was both ready and in a position to blow the whistle on the colossal covert surveillance programs (plural) the National Security Agency (NSA) and other intelligence agencies were running on U.S. citizens. Poitras made a documentary film of the same name that examines the significance of some of those secret programs and the consequences to those who would exercise their First Amendment rights and talk about them. The film includes riveting footage of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald and the guardian’s Ian MacKaskill joining Poitras for the first furtive interview with Citizen Four, who makes crystal clear that he is not the story or the issue, that the journalists, not the whistleblower, need determine what makes it into the public domain, and that democracy, free speech and a free society are imperiled by the NSA. In my view, “Citizen Four” needs viewing by every engaged, concerned citizen on earth, including, but not limited to, those in the U.S. It is also the favorite to win the Academy Award for best documentary at month’s Oscars.

As a consequence, he is an exile from and has no security in his homeland. It is a distasteful irony that one of the heroes of our time, a patriot of courage and conviction and concern for fellow citizens, a role model and inspiration, is in exile from the land of the free and the home of the brave in Russia. Russia!!!!! He has limited freedom in Russia but, if he were to return to his homeland, he would suffer the fate of another American whistle-blowing hero and patriot, Chelsea Manning, who is serving a 35-year sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for her courage in speaking the truth. Daniel Ellsberg, a hero and patriot of another time in American history for his whistle-blowing release of what are known as the “Pentagon Papers,” recently wrote, “The United Nations Special Rapporteur for Torture described Manning’s conditions as ‘cruel, inhuman and degrading.’ (That realistic prospect, by itself, is grounds for most countries granting Snowden asylum, if they could withstand bullying and bribery from the United States.) “Snowden believes that he has done nothing wrong. I agree wholeheartedly. More than 40 years after my unauthorized disclosure of the Pentagon Papers, such leaks remain the lifeblood of a free press and our republic. One lesson of the Pentagon Papers and Snowden’s leaks is simple: secrecy corrupts, just as power corrupts.” It is discouraging and some disorienting that Snowden must live in Russia to stay out of prison. It is inspiring and informative that courage is contagious and it is easy to remember that truth will set Dick Dorworth is a Blaine County resiand keep you free.

Caitlin Sholtis Preventing Cold-Related Conditions

Queen of the Ice

tected surfaces.

BY SARAH BUSDON

This is part two of a two-part series.

here are several actions you can take to maintain a normal body temperature in cold and/or wet weather. Taking the necessary precautions can help prevent cold-related conditions such as hypothermia, chilblains, trench foot and frostbite, to name a few.

BY JONATHAN KANE

aitlin Sholtis, a senior at Community School, finds her solace on the ice. Born at Moritz Community Hospital in Sun Valley, Sholtis is an accomplished ice skater, having medaled over 65 times during the course of her young career. “I started skating at six,” she says, “and I began to compete at seven.” Today, she competes for the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club. “When I was very young I went to the [Sun Valley] ice show at Christmas and told my parents that I wanted to be like that,” she says. “The ice rink offered classes on Friday, so that’s where I got my start. I now teach those Friday classes, which are hectic and hard, but also awesome. I was able to get a coach at a young age and today I love the sport so much and competing even though it can be difficult at times because it’s based on judges and that can be tricky. But skating is so unique and it’s a lot harder than people think. Of course, it’s not like the average sport with a ball. It’s an incredible ability to have and I love how it feels to land a jump or to be in a show.” Sholtis grew up in the Wood River Valley. “It’s so amazing here,” she says. “I love this place more than anything! A lot of kids my age are so excited to grow up and get out of here and go to college. I find myself not wanting to leave and I’m having a hard time coming to terms with not living here anymore. This place is just not like

anywhere else. I’m afraid I won’t find the sense of community when I move away. I also love Community School and can’t imagine a place where people are friendlier. I love to ski and the mountain is just a block away. Small-town life is just different and you learn different life skills, like being more comfortable talking to people, whether they are strangers or close friends.” Sholtis transferred to Community School after two years at Wood River Middle School. “I guess I wasn’t being challenged enough and I’m more comfortable in a smaller environment,” she says. “Here, we are like a family, and there is a much closer relationship with the teachers and the other students. When I first got here it was terrifying and weird because everyone had been together for a long time, but everyone was so accepting and everyone wanted to be your friend. I also love all the teachers because they are so willing to help and they know their subjects so well. I’ve even been in the position of calling them at 10 at night on their cellphone and they are happy to help.” One of Sholtis’s most memorable experiences was her solo trip junior year, part of Community School’s outdoor program, when she spent two days alone in the desert. “It’s pretty weird when you are alone,” she says. You get uncomfortable with yourself, then you start appreciating the quiet time away from the world. It taught me the deep lesson that I will be okay if I am alone in the world.” tws

Clothing •Wear a minimum of three layers of clothing: an outer layer that breaks the wind, a middle layer that retains insulation, and an inner layer that allows for ventilation. •Have a change of clothes readily available in case your garments become wet. •Always protect your head and face because you can lose up to 40 percent of your body heat through your head. •Protect your feet from cold and dampness by wearing layered socks inside comfortable, insulated footwear. •Protect your hands with insulated gloves (dexterity can be affected at temperatures below 59° F.). Environment •Use on-site sources of heat, such as air jets and radiant heaters, to provide warmth. •Make sure that a heated shelter or vehicle is available for anyone who has experienced prolonged exposure to wind chill temperatures below 20° F.). •Reduce drafty or windy areas within buildings to shield work areas. •If the temperature drops below 30° F., use thermal insulating material on the handles of your equipment. •Avoid sitting or kneeling on cold, unpro-

chamber corner

Personal Safety •If you suffer from a medical condition such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, spinal cord injury, arthritis, and so on, you may need to take special precautions when working in cold environments because you could be especially susceptible to cold-related illness and injury. •If you take prescription medication (heart medication, sedatives, and so on), check with your physician to determine whether you need to take any special precautions when working in the cold. •Never use alcohol or drugs when working in a cold environment because such substances increase heat loss and can impair judgment. •Know the signs and symptoms of cold-induced conditions and how to respond appropriately with first-aid. •Seek warm shelter if you experience symptoms (heavy shivering, severe fatigue, drowsiness, and so on) of cold-induced illnesses. •Avoid tasks that may cause excessive sweating. •Maintain energy and hydration by drinking warm, caffeine-free, nonalcoholic beverages. •Stay in good physical condition.

‘The Imitation Game’ Breaking The Code

BY JONATHAN KANE

s this is the time for movie studios to roll out Oscar-worthy films, the new World War II drama, “The Imitation Game,” is surging toward the head of the pack. Although conventional in narrative form and style, the movie is an extraordinary study of Alan Turing, who almost singlehandedly broke the unbreakable German code called Enigma and played a major part in winning the war and saving millions of lives. Turing is also considered the founder of the modern computer. The movie packs a powerhouse performance by Benedict Cumberbatch in a breakout role as the tormented genius. The film shifts effortlessly between three time periods: the late twenties; when Turing is an unhappy, socially awkward student

at the Shelborne School; and where he discovers his sexuality, which he will suppress, to great harm, the rest of his adult life. The majority of the film takes place during the war years at a supposed radio factory at Bletchley Park where the motley group of genius linguists, chess champions and scholars toil to break the code, led by Turing’s genius. The film also chronicles Turing’s tragic end in 1952 when a break-in at his house leads an inquisitive detective to discover that Turing is a homosexual, which is against British law. Everything about the movie is crafted with perfection in classic form, and much of the credit is to be given to the Norwegian director Morten Tyldum and the incredible screenplay—considered one of Hollywood’s great, unproduced screenplays—by Graham Moore. The dialogue is mesmer-

izing and, matched with the performances of Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Mathew Goode, Rory Kinnear, Charles Dance and Mark Strong, you have a winning combination. “The Imitation Game” stands as one of the year’s best.

‘Buzzy’ Bent

lfred Ernest Bent III (“Buzzy”) was born on May 6, 1935, in La Jolla, Calif. As a youngster he started surfing at nearby Windansea Beach. In the early ’50s he was one of the first California teens to travel to Hawai‘i to surf the “big waves” on the North Shore of Oahu. Buzzy graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in business. He was commissioned in the U.S. Navy as an officer in the Underwater Demolition Team (the precursor to the current Navy SEAL team) stationed in Coronado, Calif. After his stint in the military, Buzzy made custom surfboards, working toward perfecting the shape of the balsawood and foam boards. He purchased a vintage wooden-hulled ketch, which

he lived on in the San Diego harbor and sailed around Southern California and Mexico. Buzzy came to Aspen in 1961 for a winter of ski bumming. He taught skiing, joined the Highland ski patrol, worked as a waiter and took on various other jobs before forming a partnership with Hawai‘ian surfer Joey Cabell and opening the Chart House restaurant on Durant Street across from the Little Nell on July 4, 1962. After the success of the first restaurant, they went on to open three additional Chart House restaurants in California before Buzzy sold his interest in the company. Buzzy owned an organic fruit farm in Paonia; he lived in Telluride and returned to La Jolla to open a restaurant, The Waves Bar

and Grill, before settling in New Meadows, Idaho. He is survived by daughters Dorothea Bent, Torea Rodriguez, Rose Bent and son Phillip Bent. His oldest daughter, Verena Bent, died in 1984. His grandchildren are Tristan Harris and Nikita Huber of Basalt and Joyce and Leah Bent of Portland, Ore. Buzzy’s love of the ocean and mountains infused his life. In the words of e.e. cummings: “and here’s to silent certainly mountains; and to a disappearing poet of always, snow and to morning; and to morning’s beautiful friend twilight (and a first dream called ocean)”

‘next to normal’ hits the spot, continued FROM page 1

is trying to cope with a devastating loss. The cast unanimously agrees that Gorby was born to play this role. She is the driving force of the production and the audience follows the show through her character’s experiences. Tim Eagan plays Dan, the father of a household that is falling apart. Other cast members include Peter Burke, Yanna Lantz, Carey and Brett Moellenberg—who doubles as the production’s director. “Having seen ‘Next to Normal’ three different times in three very different settings—including a Danish-language production in Copenhagen—I feel the power of this show is universal,” Moellenberg said. “Our production takes its message and showcases it in our raw, intimate and visceral performance space with the highest quality local actors and musicians.” According to the cast, the musical’s score continues to be the most important and challenging part of the process. Another trial the actors face is remaining open and vulnerable onstage in such dramatic and real circumstances. For multiple members of the cast and

the community, the issues explored in the musical are close to home. “It resonates,” Burke said. “It’s familiar—I’ve lived parts of this to uncanny degrees of similarity.” The message of “Next to Normal” is strong. Essentially, it conveys that life can be a struggle, but

both Friday night shows. The panel will include medical professionals, NAMI peers and family members. Moellenberg—also a co-founder of The Spot—is, along with Spot co-founders Burke and Lantz, incredibly excited to mount the studio’s first production. Their venue has been transformed to create an intimate setting where the actors will be right in front of the audience’s faces— leaving no room for the actors or audience members to hide from the emotions involved in the musical. The Spot’s mission, according to its website, is “to tell the vital, difficult stories that explore the mysteries of the human condition.” “We want our audiences to leave in contemplation and wonder,” Moellenberg said. “Being human is hard, and theatre teaches us more about ourselves and others around us.” There are 50 seats per performance to keep the show intimate, and tickets are selling out fast. Tickets are $20; find them at www. spotsunvalley.com or by calling 602-214-0048. For questions, email spotsunvalley@gmail.com.

Billy Goat Loppet Ski Race Set For Saturday

The Billy Goat Loppet is a very popular Nordic race simply because no other race venue is staged at Billy’s Bridge—a section of the North Valley Trails system that has beautiful views in every direction. Billy’s Bridge is located on the Harriman Trail, but nearer to State Highway 75 at the Prairie Creek turnout. The freestyle skate-only course is 10 kilometers for both men and women, with a mass start for men followed by a mass start for women. Backwoods Mountain Sports is sponsoring this popular annual Sun Valley Ski Club Nordic event which will be held on Saturday, Jan. 24 at 11 a.m. Hammer Nutrition will provide goodie bag donations and Perry’s will offer delicious cookies. Everyone is encouraged to come out and enjoy the course which, this year, will be in memory of Norm Clark. Many will remember Clark as a keen, competitive Nordic racer who won many medals during his racing career. He was also a Sun Valley Ski Club member for many years and was awarded the Lowell Thomas Memorial Trophy in 2014. Registration will be held at Billy’s Bridge between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. with an 11 a.m. start. The entry fee is $10, and those 18 years and under will be admitted for free. For further information, call 208-726-1649 or 208-788-9458.
