he “Share a Smile” benefit took place on Saturday, Feb. 7, at the 511 Building in Ketchum, rounding out three days of awareness and philanthropy for the Hailey-based nonprofit Crisis Hotline. Great food, music and friends old and new showed their support while learning about this organization and their goals. “This community never ceases to amaze me,” Event Coordinator Levie Smith said. “The Valley came together and rallied to make life better for those that live in fear of telling their story. Now they have the support

of a community that better understands the importance of the crisis hotline. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to help.” The Crisis Hotline is a 24-hour hotline service, available to anyone in a crisis situation. The goal of the evening was to promote awareness and accessibility to the community about the crisis hotline, which got its start over 27 years ago. Anyone can call the hotline 24 hours a day and remain anonymous. One of the evening’s highlights was when actress, author and mental health advocate, Mariel Hemingway, spoke to the sold-out audience.

Four Women Featured At Lipton Fine Arts

BY LIPTON FINE ARTS

ipton Fine Arts presents “Everything is True” featuring Wood River Valley artists Jen Galpin, Lisa Wood, Karen Jacobsen and Nolina Burge in a breakthrough exhibition through Sunday, May 10, 2015. The exhibition will be on view for Gallery Walk in Ketchum on Friday, Feb. 13, and Friday, March 13, from 5 to 8 p.m. Lipton sought the works of these four women because he believed they represent the heartbeat of the Valley’s working artists. “In September, I participated in the Wood River Valley Studio Tour and visited many studios,” said Gary Lipton, owner of Lipton Fine Arts. “I chose these four outstanding artists for a show at Lipton Fine Arts.” Galpin, whose collaging techniques involve a monotype and lithographic photo transfer with oil painting, evokes fiction through her mixed-media creations. She works from her own photographs and sometimes transfers them and sometimes paints from them. Jacobsen’s unique niche as an expedition illustrator has taken her around the world several times to places few people will ever see—except by viewing the hundreds of illustrations she has created of the landscapes and fauna of the deep sea and hydro-

thermal vents. In addition, Jacobsen is also a plein air landscape painter. Wood’s large-scale, abstract landscape photographs portray a land familiar yet seen with new perspective and breadth— quite real but seemingly surreal—inviting conversation about what has our attention, why and to what end? All of Wood’s photographs are panoramas comprised of multiple images shot in the Palouse area of Washington state. Burge’s work consists of landscape paintings with a particular focus on the sky. Painting with oil to develop a meticulous surface with attention to luminosity, color and atmosphere, Burge looks for a balance between photorealism and surrealism with an interest in abstract qualities. “I look forward to my upcoming exhibition, ‘Everything is True,’ with these emerging artists,” Lipton said. Future exhibitions will include food photography by Paulette Phlipot with a book signing as well as drawings by author and illustrator Jo Rabjohn. For more information, call Gary Lipton at 248-5615120. For media and press inquiries, contact Sabina Dana Plasse at sdanap@ gmail.com or call 917-3642915.

BY P.M. FADDEN “I Have a Dream Foundation-Idaho, Inc.” (IHDF) is alive and active in aiding students. IHDF is “a long-term, year-round program that works with the same group of children from elementary through high school years and continuing on to advanced education.” The program operating in the Wood River Valley is the sole IHDF presence

statewide; 48 fifth-grade students are receiving year-round academic tutelage. Support comes in the classroom and through after-school programming. “[IHDF] is able to offer consistent contact between students and volunteers which forms a bond that encourages the students’ enjoyment of learning and enables more effective tutoring,” IHDF-Idaho President Kenneth Lewis said. Lewis became involved with IHDF as a result of a

direct discussion with IHDF founder, Eugene Lang. Lewis and Lang agreed that “education is a key to achievement.” Nationally, the nonprofit educational program has affiliate presences in 28 states as well as international affiliates in New Zealand. Beginning in 1981, IHDF has aided 15,000 collegiate grads with motivation and funds to further their educations. Program-wide, affiliates report support of 3,000 students currently on the path to a university education. U.S. federal education initiatives have taken cues from IHDF. The federal assistance program “GEAR UP” (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) is modeled after IHDF procedures. “The [IHDF] community goal is to provide volunteers to work alongside a group of

students on a weekly basis,” Wood River program coordinator Devon E. Annan said. “Approximately 35 ‘Dreamers’ make use of our after-school programs,” Lewis added. “Even students not affiliated with IHDF take advantage of the opportunity at assistance.” Data taken from previous academic years indicate students who received tutoring or mentoring from IHDF volunteers achieved scoring increases of 14 percent in mathematics and 15 percent in reading. Having gained affiliate status in 2013, IHDF-Idaho pledges an equal opportunity personal experience for students and volunteers. IHDF further pledges financial assistance sufficient to sustain the educational costs of two years university expense if “Dreamers” pursue “advanced educational opportunities.”

“Our future goal is to grow IHDF from one program into several within Blaine County and throughout the state,” Lewis said. IHDF has begun discussions with the Twin Falls community regarding starting a program there. “[IHDF] has a 100 percent success rate in that wherever a program is begun, those students experience improved academic results in comparison to the previous year,” Lewis said. “We want our children to be whatever they want to be. The [IHDF] is changing lives, and that is exciting to see.” For more information on IHDF programming, visit the national website ihaveadreamfoundation. org or ihaveadreamfoundationidaho.com. To speak personally with IHDF-Idaho personnel, contact Devon Annan at 208-450-9466. tws

There will be many surprises throughout the evening. There will be specialty cocktails, camp activities and campers with their families at the event. It’s a time where people can get dressed up, while enjoying the feel of camp. Camp Rainbow Gold started over 30 years ago as a weeklong camp for Idaho children diagnosed with cancer. It has grown into two weeks of oncology camps, a camp just for siblings and two family camps. All of these camps are held in the Wood River Valley area. Along with a host of other events, Camp Rain-

bow Gold provides support groups, college scholarships and programs in different parts of Idaho throughout the year, all at no cost to families. “Camp Rainbow Gold has brought hope to my life to keep going and to never give up,” said former camper Karina.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day With Two Operas On the heels of her triumphant Met performances as Tatiana in Eugene Onegin, soprano Anna Netrebko takes on another Tchaikovsky heroine in the first opera of this intriguing double bill, consisting of an enchanting fairy tale (Iolanta) followed by a psychological thriller (Bluebeard’s Castle). Netrebko stars as the beautiful blind girl who experiences love for the first time in Iolanta, while Nadja Michael is the unwitting victim of the diabolical Bluebeard, played by Mikhail Petrenko. Both operas are directed by Mariusz Trelinski, who was inspired by classic noir films of the 1940s. Iolanta also stars Piotr Beczala, and Maestro Valery Gergiev conducts both operas. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and there will be no pre-opera lecture. The opera begins at 10:30 a.m. Running time is 3 hours and 25 minutes. All tickets are $16 and can be purchased at Big Wood Cinemas in Hailey. For more information, call 208-720-5584. Th e W e e k l y S u n •

eattle-based funk band, Polyrhythmics, will be hitting the stage at Whiskey Jacques’ in Ketchum on Friday, Feb. 20 for their 2015 Winter Tour. In contrast to run-of-the-mill funk bands, the Polyrhythmics bring a “raw, hard-driving, fresh sound to modern Afro-beat and syncopated, horn-driven funk.” The eight boys from Seattle formed the band in 2010, initially as a studio project, but quickly realized they needed to bring their live music to the people of Seattle. The first six-song EP was the brainchild of founding members Ben Bloom and Grant Schroff, who assembled the talented crew and recorded the “live, all-in-one-room” record. The EP resulted in fan cult classics “Pink Wasabi” and “Klompton”; the latter has since been re-released. Members of Polyrhythmics have performed with the likes of Blackalicious, String Cheese Incident, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Pickwick and Fishbone. Their musical influences are “all over the map” and include everything from James

Brown to Black Sabbath and Frank Zappa. “A good live show is all about energy and flow,” drummer Schroff said. “One thing about being in a band that plays live music is we can take chances and change things up every night. That ability to keep things fresh keeps us inspired and brings energy to the performance.” The past five years have consisted of playing to packed clubs and music festivals, including Bumbershoot in Seattle and Jazzfest in New Orleans. Additionally, the band has produced a self-released EP, three 45 records and a full-length LP. “Our creative process is constantly changing,” Schroff said. “We have many talented writers in this band, so the process is not always the same. Sometimes members bring in fully written tunes for the whole band. Sometimes someone will bring in just an idea or groove, and we will work collaboratively to turn it into a full tune. Either way, everyone puts their own stamp on the music, which makes the sound unique to the Polyrhythmics.” The Polyrhythmics boast a live repertoire of over 60 original compo-

sitions. They are set to release a new 7-inch dropping on Kept Records in February. Also, “Octagon” is a full-length album to be released by the band sometime this summer. “Fans can expect the same brooding grooves and powerful horn lines that the band is known for on previous recordings,” Schroff said. “However, ‘Octagon’ is a more mature record and has an overall darker vibe than our past work. There is more of an emphasis on production as well as psychedelia.” The band plans to “melt your face off ” and will insist that attendees get out of their seats as part of the band’s “occupy the dance floor” movement. “We have played at Whiskey’s a handful of times and have always had a blast there,” Schroff exclaimed. “The Wood River Valley is such a gorgeous area, and we are big fans of the hot springs! We feel lucky to be able to take our music on the road and see such beautiful places.” Whiskey Jacques’ is located at 251 North Main Street in Ketchum. Tickets are $7 and doors open at 9 p.m. For more info on Polyrhythmics, go to polyrhythmics.com.

Horseplay Encouraged Benefit For Swiftsure Ranch

BY YANNA LANTZ

oin the Idaho nonprofit, Swiftsure Ranch Therapeutic Equestrian Center, for an après-ski comedy show and benefit Sunday, Feb. 15. The event will be held at Whiskey Jacques’ in Ketchum, with doors opening at 5 p.m. “Funny Guy” Mike Murphy will return as the main act for this year’s benefit and will kick off the show at 6 p.m. Murphy is known as one of the most familiar faces in the Wood River Valley. Since 1977, his world-class comedy show has brought smiles to many a face. Murphy has appeared with celebrities such as Jerry Seinfeld, the Smothers Brothers, Elvis Costello and Tom Jones and has performed for some of the largest corporations in America. His shows often sell out days in advance and Swiftsure is very pleased to have the comedian back for this year’s benefit. “The turnout was so great last year, we totally sold out and it was a great time for everyone who came, so we asked Mike to come back,” said Swiftsure PR coordinator Lacey Heward. “He’s really fantastic at storytelling and uses music in his act.” Swiftsure Ranch gives locals the opportunity “to fly without wings.” The organization’s custom-designed equine activities and 191-acre facility assist veterans and those dealing with disabilities in finding a state of wellbeing. Over 100 locals ride each week with no charge at Swiftsure, thanks to support from the community and benefits like the Feb. 15 comedy night. According to its website, Swiftsure Ranch’s mission is “to provide equine-assisted activities and therapies which encourage the physical, mental and emotional well-being of children and adults with disabilities.” All of the instructors are certified therapeutic riding instructors, which is the industry standard for therapeutic riding. “We give 125 lessons a week and we have highly trained instructors,” Heward said. “The cost is extremely high to do that but it is such an important thing to have an option like this for the community. This benefit gives us the opportunity to expand our programming.” Riders at Swiftsure range from ages 2-85 and the facility serves a wide range of disabilities. The trained staff and horses can enable someone who usually rides a wheelchair to mount and ride a horse. A specially designed lift system helps the rider out of their wheelchair and then slides them over to mount the horse. For better stability and handling, therapy saddles replace the saddle horn with a bar. People who are completely paralyzed can experience riding through the help of strategic side belts and straps. Last year’s benefit sold out early with seven VIP tables and a packed house. Tickets for this year’s event will be $40 at the door, if available. Personal VIP tables are also available for $1,000 and seat eight people. Included with the table fee are a round of margaritas, chips and salsa and a swag bag of Swiftsure Ranch goodies. Whiskey Jacques’ is located at 251 North Main St., Ketchum. To find out more information or to reserve a table, call 208-578-9111 or visit www.swiftsureranch.org. Featured Rider: Logan Schofield¬, Age 12

tws

“Logan has been riding with us for over three years. I talked to his aunt, Tammy Schofield, who has adopted Logan. She explained that Logan has benefited greatly from riding at Swiftsure Ranch. Logan was born with cerebral palsy. This makes it challenging to control his muscles and give him stability. Riding has given Logan core strength and leg strength that he wouldn’t normally have, which he has developed from having to sit atop the horse. Riding focuses his muscles to fire as needed, rather than sporadically. His leg strength has given him more stability walking and the strength in his core allows him to sit up stronger in his chair. In addition to the physical benefits, Logan has developed self-reliance and esteem, giving him the courage to find his own sense of adventure. Logan is nonverbal and has sight issues, but still he has gained confidence in himself by working with and riding what some might consider an intimating and large animal. The bond that Logan has formed with the horse he rides has helped him build trust, and his own sense of security. When Logan rides, he is self-assured that he can be in control of his life, and find self-worth in a world where he doesn’t fit the mold.” –Swiftsure Ranch Staff

The family-owned winery, located at 360 9th St., Ketchum, opens its doors from 5-8 p.m. on the evening of Friday, Feb. 13. Artists Alison Higdon, Deborah Kirby and David Rau will display their work. The event, which attracted approximately 200 visitors the previous year, will feature snacks, libations, fun and more. The winery owners describe their endeavor as “European style” combined with a love of the Wood River Valley culture, wine and life. “We’re here for the mutual benefit of the artists and the community,” said Charles Smasne, of Frenchman’s Gulch. “It’s their own passions for art that complement our passions for winemaking and supporting where we live.” To learn more about Frenchman’s Gulch Winery, visit frenchmansgulch.com. tws

Got Housing?

The annual Sun Valley Film Festival is seeking housing opportunities in the Sun Valley area for staff and volunteers participating in the Festival during the week of March 2. If interested in making a home available to a visiting guest, please contact Maryland@sunvalleyfilmfestival. org. Donations go a long way to helping grow this nonprofit event.

Farmers’ Market Location Evaluation City of Ketchum officials are working with Wood River Farmers’ Market officials as they decide to remain in the current location or move to another location in Ketchum this spring. “We very much want to continue to have the Farmers’ Market as a part of Ketchum,” Mayor Nina Jonas said. “It will be up to the Farmers’ Market board to determine whether the market stays at its current site or moves to another Ketchum location.” The evaluation of the Fourth Street location is the result of the successful growth of the market, which is causing public safety impacts, increased city costs, parking and noise complaints. The city previously has absorbed the cost of event application fees, electricity for the market, putting up and taking down traffic barriers and other operating expenses. Fire department access also is an issue as vendors and customers have sometimes blocked the alley beside the firehouse, making it difficult for fire and rescue equipment to respond to emergencies. Parking and noise are other issues. “We want to emphasize that no decisions have been made on the location of the market,” said City Administrator Suzanne Frick. “We will continue to meet with market representatives, and the final decision will be up to them.”

he Community Library in Ketchum will pay tribute to the legendary photographer David Stoecklein. An exhibition of his work, titled “Keeping the Spirit of the West Alive,” is on display now through March 15. The exhibit coincides with The Community Library’s 60th anniversary winter programming theme, “The West Where We Are.” The beloved and iconic photographer died this past November at the age of 65 and was the most sought-after and recognized Western photographer of his time. More than a million of his books have been sold, and he worked on countless high-profile commercial photography projects for companies such as Jeep, Coca-Cola, Marlboro and L.L. Bean, just to name a few. Stoecklein was best known for his images of cowboys working in the Idaho landscape. Stoecklein’s passion for and fascination with the American West and the hard-working men and women in it earned him great respect and endless exemplary images. He believed in preserving traditions and beliefs of the American cowboy and photographed the beautiful country and ever-changing Idaho landscape. “Maybe, just maybe, my photography can help slow down the destruction of this magnificent place,” Stoecklein wrote. “My hope is that folks who don’t understand the Western lifestyle will come to respect it, embrace it and help preserve it.” Stoecklein loved Idaho and split his time with his wife Mary and three sons Drew, Taylor and Colby between their home in Sun Valley and their ranch in Mackay. Stoecklein was extremely well liked in the community and was known to have a heart of gold with an impressive smile to boot. “He loved good cow dogs, skilled horsewomen, hardworking cowboys, big storms coming in on lonesome

prairies, the camaraderie of cattle gathers and quiet sunrise rides in the mountains,” Dana Joseph wrote for the February 2015 issue of Cowboys & Indians Magazine. “Most of all, photographer David Stoecklein loved documenting the West in all its grit and grandeur.” Along with the David Stoecklein art exhibition, The Community Library’s “The West Where We Are” theme will also offer people the opportunity to share favorite books about the American West, explore vintage photographs and oral histories in the Regional History Department and tour the exhibits at the Sun Valley Museum of History. The exhibit will also raise awareness for the David R. Stoecklein Memorial and Educational Foundation, a not-for-profit charity designed to continue Stoecklein’s legacy of education, generosity and the causes he was so passionate about. The Foundation was created for literary and educational purposes promoting West-

ern life through exhibits of Western art, artifacts, photography, grants, scholarships, publications and educational programs. “We are so pleased to showcase Stoecklein’s photography at The Community Library,” Jenny Emery Davidson, the library’s executive director, said. “His sweeping images of Idaho’s high country, as well as his close-ups of cowboys working the land, provide an opportunity for us to think about how we imagine the landscape we inhabit.” The exhibit will be featured in The Community Library Lecture Room, located at 415 Spruce Avenue North in Ketchum. For more information, contact The Community Library at 208-726-3493. Donations can be made to the David. R. Stoecklein Memorial and Educational Foundation, c/o Attorney Brian Barsotti, P.O. Box 370, Ketchum, Idaho 83340, and online at www.drsfoundation.org and www.stoeckleinphotography. com. tws

SHARE YOUR HEART AT ROTARUN The Learn to Ski and Alpine Race program aims to get locals hooked on skiing. Courtesy photo

BY DICK DORWORTH

t sunset, when all the joy and warmth of Valentine’s Day in the Wood River Valley is waning, the Celebration of Valentine’s Night at Rotarun will just be beginning. From 6-9 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 14, Hailey’s local nonprofit ski area will host a Valentine’s Night Celebration featuring two ski lift tickets for the price of one. “Bring Your Sweetheart,” and riders 17 years and younger can ski for $10, those 18 to 70 can ride for $20 and those over 70 always ski free at Rotarun. A Valentine’s chili feed, cornbread and coleslaw dinner will be offered for $5 and beverages are $1 per person. Skiers are encouraged to “bring your own favorite Valentine’s cookie, candy and dessert.” Chinese paper lanterns will be on sale for $5 and, weather permitting, the lanterns will be lit and sent off at 9 p.m. The Valentine’s Night Celebration will culminate at 9 p.m. with a fireworks display. A raffle will be held for a sterling silver “Diamond Heart” necklace with three diamonds and sterling silver hoop earrings with six diamonds, valued at $600. These have been donated by Christopher & Co. Fine Jewelry and Gifts in Hailey, from the “Boulder Collection.” Raffle tickets will cost $5 each All proceeds from the evening’s event will go to the Rotarun Ski Club, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization that supports the Croy Canyon ski area a few miles west of Hailey. For the past 65 years, Rotarun has offered affordable skiing to the community and, during those years, many hundreds of people have learned to ski and continue to ski thanks to Rotarun. The LASAR (Learn to Ski and Alpine Race) program currently has 52 kids enrolled. LASAR operates every Wednesday and Friday from 3-5 p.m. through March 5. The LASAR program is more than 10 years old. “The goal has always been to provide south valley skiers an affordable way to get hooked on skiing, the skills to be safe and confident on all terrain and then continue their progression by moving to Baldy,” Jesse Foster, president of the Rotarun Board of Directors, said. Blaine County Kids Appreciation Nights include tonight, Feb. 11, when anyone 17 and under can ski for free at Rotarun, thanks to Luke Whalen, DDS and Wood River Roofing. On Friday, Feb. 20, there will be free skiing for the 17-and-under crowd thanks to ColorTyme Sales and Leasing, Farmers Insurance of Hailey and Ree-Construction of Bellevue. On Wednesday, Feb. 24, Haemmerle Law PLLC, Hogue and Dunlap LLP and Roark Law Firm, Attorneys at Law, will sponsor the night’s free skiing for kids. For more information about the Valentine’s Night Celebration and all things Rotarun, phone Margaret Kraft at 208-720-0860 or Rotarun at 208-788-6204. tws

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR FEB. 11TH FROM PICABO ANGLER

inter fly-fishing may need to be redefined this week. Springlike conditions are forecast to continue throughout the week. It is not normal to write about muddy conditions in February, but that’s where we’re at. The good news is we are still getting moisture and the more of that we get the better our summer fishing season is going to be! The other bit of good news is the recent snowmelt has brought Silver Creek up to a nice level for streamer fishing. The fish in the Creek are active and anglers hunting the Creek’s big fish will find them lying in very shallow water. The best bet is to find shallow benches near deep holes. The fish like to have the deep water to retreat into but, if not scared, they will sun themselves in shallow spots waiting for unsuspecting or injured baitfish to get within their range. Keep this in mind when fishing your streamer. Injured baitfish swim erratically; they present a lot of flash underwater and this flashing means distress. To a big brown or rainbow trout, a distressed fish is lunch. Important things to remember when streamer fishing include keeping the line tight. Make sure the line is coming straight into your rod tip and that your rod tip remains just above the water. This will prevent a fish from pulling only slack in your line, or flexing your rod tip instead of instantly having the hook penetrate their mouth. Once the fish is hooked, it is important to keep good pressure on the fish throughout the fight, but not so much that the fish is thrashing on the surface. If the fish is breaking water while you fight it, you are pulling too hard and the hook is going to pop out. Fishing fluorocarbon is also important, as the lack of stretch in the material will help drive the hook home as well as prevent toothy fish from cutting the leader. We never fish lighter than 2X fluorocarbon on the Creek when we streamer fish. “Leader shy” is not in the vocabulary of serious streamer anglers. If a big fish wants to eat another fish, they aren’t going to chase their prey down, and then pause to inspect for leader material! This is the last month to get on Silver Creek before opening day. The Creek is open downstream of the Highway 20 Bridge, west of Picabo Angler. Point of Rocks, the Willows and the Picabo Bridge area all remain open to catch-and-release fishing until February 28th! Happy fishing, everyone!

A Lap With Brian Froiland

Wood River Valley resident, Brian Froiland, seeks year-round high country adventure. Courtesy photo

BY P.M. FADDEN Everyone’s invited, so come and settle in as we get to know a wonderful community friend:

ifelong mountain man, Brian Froiland, calls Ketchum “the perfect ski town.” “For me, it’s the great atmosphere, old-school vibe and especially the nice people that make this community,” Froiland said. First arriving in the Wood River Valley in the winter of 2002, Froiland has made return stays a priority ever since. He re-transplanted himself to the Wood River Valley a little over a year ago and he loves every minute of it here. “I love the skiing on Baldy for the speed, and the area is fantastic for side/backcountry access,” Froiland said. “In a matter of minutes you can be all alone out there.” A certified boot-fitter for 10 years and expert bike tech, Froiland is passionate about sharing his love of the mountains. For Froiland, getting people amped on the activities of the area is a must. Ensuring that a ski boot is properly fit for comfort and response or that a bike is in tune with its rider enhance the experience of a visitor to the area. If a visitor enjoys his experience, then he is more likely to return. That positivity strengthens the community and, for all of us, makes it a better place to live. “Year-round, this place is awesome,” Froiland said. “It’s pretty hard to find a place quite like this.” So there you have it, and now you know. Here’s one more friend who brings us one degree closer to home. +One is an introduction to individuals, organizations, businesses and initiatives present in our community by Ketchum newbie, novelist and reporter Paul Fadden.

Red Sonja; ‘Let The Joyous News Be Spread!’ BY BRENNAN REGO

“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn, is just to love… …And be loved in return.” –Nat King Cole, “Nature Boy,” 1948; Narrator, “Moulin Rouge!,” 2001

Red Sonja (1985), Part I Red Sonja: No man may have me, unless he’s beaten me in a fair fight. Kalidor: So, the only man that can have you, is one who’s trying to kill you; that’s logic. [Red Sonja goes and lies down. Kalidor picks up his sword and holds it to her throat.] Kalidor: If you yield only to a conqueror, then be prepared to be conquered, Little Sonja… Red Sonja: Don’t be a fool; I don’t want to kill you. Kalidor: Try it.

Red Sonja, Part II Kalidor (to youngster): Choose carefully; I make it a rule never to take a woman unless she can beat me in a fair fight. Red Sonja: That’s a challenge I might think about some day. Kalidor: What about right now? [Kalidor gets off his horse and draws his sword.] Red Sonja: Why not? [Red Sonja gets off her horse and draws her sword. The two blades touch; they kiss… ] “We Didn’t Start The Fire,” (1989) “Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, Television, [Internet?] North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe “Rosenbergs, H-Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom Brando, The King And I, and The Catcher In The Rye Eisenhower, Vaccine, England’s got a new queen Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye We didn’t start the fire It was always burning Since the world’s been turning We didn’t start the fire No we didn’t light it But we tried to fight it…” –Billy Joel “Yes Man” (2008) Carl Allen: The era of “yes” has begun. I’m so tired of bullies; isn’t it time in our community, state, nation and current century to say yes to freedom, beauty, truth, love and smiles? Naysaying is easy. Listening to—and speaking—yes, Yes, YES~takes inexhaustible tenacity, tremendous hard work and a long view; holding others up and falling under them when necessary takes amazing energy and can feel oh so wonderful.

Guide To Teenage Relationships Parents, Talk To Your Teens! BY THE ETCS

ebruary is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. We know that there are way too many teens here in the Wood River Valley experiencing emotionally, physically and/or verbally abusive relationships. One way we feel we can lower these numbers is to have more conversations about healthy relationships between parents and teens. We also know that as teens, we don’t always make it easy for our parents to talk to us. But that doesn’t mean those discussions shouldn’t be happening. Along with the national “No More” campaigns help, we have come up with some conversation starters for you to have with your teen. If you’re asking, “ETCs, at what age should I talk to my kid about relationships?” The answer? Four years ago. Just kidding. But we believe that these conversations can start at any age and can be built and adjusted for your child as needed as they grow. It’s great to have these discussions long before your student even thinks about entering a romantic relationship. And we’re thinking about them before you think we’re thinking about them, believe us. ;) Remember, keep it casual. Don’t sit them down and say “OK, today we’re going to have a big scary talk.” That usually shuts us down. Instead bring these topics up more casually. For example, while you’re driving us to soccer practice or we’re out to lunch. Start the discussion after we watch an end domestic violence commercial or mention something while we’re watching a TV show that models a healthy (or unhealthy relationship). Remember, these are discussions, not lectures. You might be surprised at what we have to say. Conversation Starters: Questions to Ask What do you think a healthy relationship looks like? Who do you think has a healthy relationship? Who do you think has an unhealthy relationship? What do you think are the differences between those relationships? Do you think fighting is healthy? What does that look like? When you were fighting in the past, how could you have fought fairly? What is a boundary? How do others know what your boundaries are? What does it mean to stand up for yourself? What should you do if someone you’re dating threatens you? What if someone you’re dating tells you to keep something secret about your relationship? Who do you see that has a great relationship? Why? This piece was written with the help of all the Advocates’ ETC (Every Teen has a Choice) teen interns. The Advocates is a Hailey-based nonprofit whose mission is to teach people of all ages how to build healthy relationships. For more information, visit www.theadvocatesorg.org or call 208-788-4191.

BY JOELLEN COLLINS

wonderful concluding blessing I have often heard at church applies to any faith. Over the past few weeks, I have been reminded of its truth through several events. It reads, in part, “Life is short, and we have too little time to gladden the hearts of those who walk the Way with us. So be swift to love and make haste to be kind.” Lately, through sad times involving friends and family, I have tucked these words into a folder of the items I would wish to be read at any celebration of my life. (This cockeyed optimist also wants Louis Armstrong’s version of “What a Wonderful World” played.) I don’t feel morbid about this, just realistic, as I have had to be responsible for living wills and other plans, pointed out often to me when I went through a four-month period, last year, of seeking a diagnosis for something that is, thank God, treatable. I have outlived my mother’s life span by almost 20 years, and I am grateful for every day. I am off to visit my grandchildren soon, an experience my mother never had with my children; she died just one year before my first daughter was born. When people ask me why I love the Wood River Valley, one of the many things I invariably note is that I live in a caring and compassionate community, one that provides me with innumerable opportunities to witness the best side of humanity. Just in the past two weeks, I attended several events that reinforced my belief in the good nature of neighbors. I sang with a choir at a wedding, where the feeling of love during the celebratory service was palpable. The couple has been together through many

february 11, 2015

years, some difficult, but all infused with their steadfast and committed natures. An outpouring of blessings reached the couple, shared by the guests, the singers and all who participated. It extended to the party, where smiles and conversation added even more to the sense of happiness of being in this place at this time. I overheard many comments on “how fortunate we felt to be a part of this community.” I agreed. Then I sat in at a gathering of two religious faiths to share a dialogue about their traditions, their commonality, and their interactions currently and in history. Members of the Wood River Jewish Community met with congregants of St. Thomas Episcopal Church for an hour of thoughtful conversation. Father Ken Brannon and Rabbi Jim Mirel led a scholarly and frank discussion, to be followed by two more sessions as well as an exchange of pulpits. How I wish that every town in the world could experience this kind of tolerance and understanding. I am so fortunate to live in a place where meetings like this happen and are integral to the compassion residents here practice every day. tws

Local Food For Thought Sugar In Our Schools BY STACY WHITMAN

he average American teen consumes more than 34 teaspoons of added sugar a day, while nineto 13-year-olds down about 29 teaspoons and four- to eight-year-olds eat 21 teaspoons. That’s more than five times the recommended amount! And the impact on their health is less than sweet. Research shows that too much added sugar, over time, increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease and liver disease. Currently, approximately one in four American adolescents is either diabetic or pre-diabetic. Growing awareness over health problems associated with sugar has catalyzed schools across the country and here in the Wood River Valley to re-examine the foods and beverages being served at classroom parties and school events. Last year, Blaine County School District approved a new district wellness policy that has led to healthier classrooms from Carey to Ketchum. Now, the Community School is set to release new food guidelines designed to encourage healthy choices. “FED UP” is a documentary that addresses the sugar epidemic. It provides some staggering facts about not just overt but hidden sugars in our food. A free community screening of the film will be held at the Community School in Sun Valley on Thursday, Feb. 19, at 5:30 p.m. Narrated by Katie Couric, “FED UP” exposes the misinformation about diet, exercise and weight loss over the past 30 years and how the food industry has worked to keep it all a secret. Immediately following the film, a panel of health experts will engage the audience in a conversation and Q&A session about the realities of sugar and its effects on our children and ourselves. To reserve your free ticket to “FED UP,” visit www.fedupcommunityschool.eventbrite.com. The Local Food Alliance aspires to create a healthy local food system and establish food security in the Wood River Valley.

¡Carnaval! (Carnival!) BY ANA MARIA CUNEO

In English Carnival is an annual festival held during the Friday to the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. It marks the beginning of Lent or the 40-day period that comes before Easter. During Lent, many Christians refrain from eating meat, and so it makes sense that the word Carnival comes from the Italian carne levare, meaning “to take away meat.” Carnival originated in Italy but it is very popular in Latino America, where African and native traditions were incorporated. The event has a movable date. This year it falls between the 13th and the 17th of February but, in some countries, like Uruguay, celebrations can last well over 40 days. In Brazil, Carnival has become huge, attracting millions of tourists. People dress up in beautiful costumes during Carnival and organize themselves in groups of street musicians called murgas. The Brazilian Samba Schools are very large groups of performers who practice all year long to enter strenuous competitions. The best ones win modest cash prizes but the sense of pride they gain is deemed more important than money. Popular during Carnival is the candombe, a music and dance that originated with African slaves. It is considered an important aspect of the culture of Uruguay and a symbol of the identity of communities of African descent. An interesting component of the Peruvian Carnival is the yunza, also known as umisha or cortamonte. A large tree is “planted” and

decorated with gifts. At the end of Carnival, people dance around the tree and finally cut it down with an axe. The couple that gives the final cut before the tree falls organizes the yunza next year. In Argentina, there are parades featuring elaborated floats. Everybody has fun admiring each other’s outfits and fancy masks, while tossing streamers and showering each other with confetti paper. In Peru, they also throw talc, flour, eggs, and even paint. In many Latino American countries, after 5 p.m. throwing water is allowed. Most people use squirt guns or water balloons, but a few get carried away and empty buckets full of cold water on unsuspecting victims. People get very wet but, as far as I know, few catch pneumonia because February is one of the hottest months of summer. Students’ Corner Why is it summer in February in many Latino American countries?

En español Carnaval es una celebración anual que se lleva a cabo del viernes al martes antes del Miércoles de Ceniza. Marca el comienzo de la Cuaresma o del periodo de los 40 días antes de Pascuas. Durante la Cuaresma, muchos cristianos se abstienen de consumir carne, y por eso es lógico que la palabra Carnaval provenga del italiano carne levare, que significa “quitar carne.” Carnaval se originó en Italia pero es muy popular en Latino América donde se le incorporaron tradiciones africanas y nativas. El evento tiene una fecha

móvil. Este año cae entre el 13 y el 17 de febrero pero en algunos países, como en Uruguay, las celebraciones pueden durar más de 40 días. En Brasil, el Carnaval es enorme y atrae millones de turistas. La gente se disfraza durante Carnaval y se organiza en grupos de músicos callejeros llamados murgas. Las Escuelas de Samba del Brasil son grandes grupos de músicos que practican todo el año para entrar en extenuantes concursos. Los mejores ganan premios monetarios modestos pero el sentido de orgullo que logran es más importante que el dinero. Popular durante Carnaval es el candombe, una música y danza que se originó con los esclavos africanos. Está considerado un aspecto muy importante de la cultura uruguaya y un símbolo de la identidad de las comunidades descendientes de africanos. Un interesante componente del Carnaval peruano es la yunza, conocida también como umisha o cortamonte. Un árbol grande es “plantado” y decorado con regalos. Al final del Carnaval, la gente baila alrededor del árbol y luego lo cortan con un hacha. La pareja que da el último hachazo antes de que caiga el árbol organiza la yunza el año próximo. En Argentina, hay elaborados desfiles con carrozas. Todos se divierten admirando los disfraces y las máscaras de fantasía, mientras arrojan serpentinas y papel picado. En Perú, también echan talco, harina, huevos, y hasta pintura. En muchos países Latino Americanos, después de las 5 de la tarde se puede tirar agua. La mayoría de la

gente usa pistolas de agua o lanza globos llenos de agua, pero unos pocos vacían baldes de agua fría sobre sus víctimas. La gente sale realmente empapada pero, que yo sepa, nadie muere de neumonía porque febrero es uno de los meses más calurosos del verano. Rincón del Estudiante ¿Por qué en muchos países Latino Americanos es verano en febrero?

A True Hero Of The Old West

BY DICK DORWORTH

kiing has some genuine heroes who have left a thread to guide us to the center of our own existence where it is possible to see more clearly what we do and why and what it might mean. Each year, more skiers venture into the backcountry to seek different rewards–nature, solitude, untracked skiing and adventure with consequences for lapses in judgment, knowledge or respect–traveling out to find “the center of our own existence.” The first great hero of American backcountry skiing is Snowshoe Thompson, born Jon Torsteinson-Rue (later changed to John A. Thompson) April 30, 1827, in the Telemark region of Norway. He came to America at age 10, and in 1855 he saw an ad in the Sacramento Union newspaper: “People lost to the world; Uncle Sam needs a mail carrier” to carry mail from Placerville east across the winter

snows of the Sierra Nevada to Mormon Station, Utah, which later became Genoa, Nevada. Like most Norwegians of Telemark, Thompson had learned to ski as a child and he was the only applicant for the mail job. In January 1856, a crowd in Placerville watched him leave on his first 90-mile journey. His homemade skis (called “snowshoes,” thus the nickname) were 10 feet long, made of oak and weighed 25 pounds. Few in the crowd thought he would make it, but five days later he returned, having delivered the mail going east and bringing back mail going west. Thus began the career of a true hero of the Old West. Two to four times a month for the next 20 winters, Thompson made the trip– three days east, two days returning west–between 25 and 40 miles a day. His sack of mail weighed between 60 and 100 pounds. He carried a few crackers, some bread and dried meat and a heavy Mackinaw and widebrimmed hat for shelter and

sleep. He didn’t use a compass and said, “There is no danger of getting lost in a narrow range of mountains like the Sierra, if a man has his wits about him.” The Sacramento Union wrote of Thompson, “His reliability, kindness and physical prowess quickly earned the admiration and respect of the Sierra residents.” Thompson was never paid for his efforts and service, but every skier can appreciate that skiing is something other than economics, especially in the backcountry. Ron Watters wrote of Thompson, paraphrasing Dan DeQuille, “The mountains were his sanctuary, and storms were just another part of its raw beauty. On his skis, he could freely move across the snow-covered landscape. The feeling of freedom must have been never more real to Thompson than when gliding downhill, holding his balance pole out in front of him, dipping it one direction and then the other, his wide-brimmed hat flapping in the wind and the Sierras

spread out in front of him. At times like that, he must have felt like a soaring eagle.” And S.A. Kinsey, the postmaster of Genoa, where Thompson is buried, said, “Most remarkable man I ever knew, that Snowshoe Thompson. He must be made of iron. Besides, he never thinks of himself, but he’d give his last breath for anyone else—even a total stranger.” A true hero of the Old West, at the center of our own existence. tws

guest commentary

A Touchy Subject

n a 2014 article published by Forbes Magazine, body language coach Dr. Carol Kinsey Goman said that in England it is unthinkable to touch a business associate of any gender. Most Americans and Australians, especially male executives, she added, would be concerned about the legal implications of touching a female in the workplace. In contrast, Dr. Goman recalls a trip to Venezuela, when a colleague she only knew through email and telephone calls, met her at the Caracas airport and greeted her with a lingering handshake, followed by a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He later put his hand on her shoulder and, while discussing business, he often touched her arm or hand. That could have been the start of legal action in the U.S., but in some European and Latino American countries this is seen as normal behavior and nobody cries sexual harassment.

the cheeks—right, left, and right again—a custom called “faire la bise.” In South America, we offer two kisses “a la italiana,” plus a hug. This is a practice appropriate for both genders and, yes, men also kiss on the cheeks. It is also very acceptable for women to hold hands or each other’s arms in public. Dr. Goman recalls that in a recent study, cultural differences in touch frequency

Hugs and kisses In Italy, people greet each other with two kisses, one on each cheek. In France, total strangers salute each other with three pecks on

contact.

became very evident. Conversations were observed in London, Florida and San Juan (Puerto Rico), and the number of times within one hour people gave or received casual touches was counted. The results were staggering: •In London, nobody touched, not even once. •In Florida, people touched each other two times. •But in San Juan, 189 touches were recorded. This suggests that Anglos tend to keep their distance while Latinos typically seek the warmth of human contact. Let’s face it: we touch, we kiss and we welcome each other into our personal space. So, this Saturday, do something different. Forget the flowers and the candy; instead, pretend you are a Latino. Greet your partner with three kisses, give her/ him a long and tender hug, and then get very close and whisper something romantic. If nothing comes to mind, get even closer and softly say: Happy Valentine’s Day! –Ana Maria Cuneo Eagle resident

Cassidy Miley A Chilean Adventure

BY JONATHAN KANE

assidy Miley, a Wood River High School senior and member of National Honor Society, had a life-changing adventure last year when she spent her junior year abroad in Chile as part of an exchange program with the Hailey Rotary Club. “When I was in seventh grade my dad was a counselor to an exchange student from Spain,” she says. “Ever since then I wanted to go. I’ve also been in the dual immersion program since kindergarten, so I wanted to go somewhere where they spoke Spanish. My sophomore year we put up an exchange student from Finland and in November of that year I applied. I then had to go through a series of interviews and orientations, so it was really good to have an exchange student with me to help and we are still best friends. They then gave you a list of 20 countries and you got to choose six as possibilities. It just depended on what was available. I had wanted Spain and was a little upset when I didn’t get it, but I turned out to be a lot happier.” So her junior year, it was off to Santiago—a city of about 7 million—and the district of Puente Alto, which was the biggest district in the city and the district with the lowest income. “For one thing, it was a lot more dangerous than Sun Valley—I wasn’t allowed out at night alone,” she says. “My room was the size of a small bathroom in the States—just a twin bed and closet—and it was hard to get used to at first. But

my family was so incredibly caring and understanding. Many of my friends were housed in a richer neighborhood, but they weren’t treated nearly as well. My school was just two blocks away and I would walk every day with my siblings, who were eight and 10. It was one of the nicer schools, but the public schools in general were in pretty bad shape. There were two classes, humanities and biology/sciences, and you pick one and essentially stay with it.” City life was a big change from Idaho. “It was really huge,” she says. “My parents worked from 8 to 8, so I would go out by myself and take the metro everywhere and even today I can name every stop. I loved it all and was able to take three amazing trips to Easter Island, Patagonia and the Atacama Desert. The whole thing made me really grow up. I’m so much more independent now and I’m really fluent in Spanish, which is great.” Miley is an artist by trade and used her talents to good advantage on her senior project when she designed and built a garden for The Hunger Coalition made out of discarded wood construction pallets. “I got the idea online and decided I wanted to do it and was able to get the materials from my dad,” she says. “I made it for The Hope Garden at The Hunger Coalition and then made a second one for the [Wood River] Sustainability Center. They came out great and I was really surprised. Everything in it is edible and I was able to feel the satisfaction of doing something nice for the community.” tws

PET OF THE WEEK

n the beginning of the excellent new drama, “Foxcatcher,” which is really a tragedy of the highest order, we meet the two brothers—Olympic wrestlers Mark and Dave Schultz—at the heart of the story, as they go to war on the mats in a training session as only brothers can. It’s a brilliant scene and sets the tone for this first-rate character study of madness and privilege. Directed by Bennett Miller (“Capote,” “Moneyball”) off a great script by E. Max Frye and Dan Futterman, the film boasts three of the best performances of the year at its center. Steve Carell has garnered most of the praise for his amazing transformation into the twisted billionaire John E. du Pont who, in a true story, murdered Dave Schultz

with three shots from a gun in 1996. Du Pont later died in prison in 2010. Mark Ruffalo is excellent, as always, as the older and wiser brother, Dave. But it is Channing Tatum who really stands out as the brooding and troubled younger brother that won a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. As the movie shows, Mark, down on his luck and in the shadow of his brother, is seduced by du Pont to take a position at his wrestling academy on the sprawling 800-acre family horse estate in Pennsylvania called Foxcatcher. What du Pont hopes to achieve through the academy is one of the questions that the film capably explores, as well as his descent into madness. He also introduces Mark to cocaine, which eventually leads to Mark’s athletic downfall, and tries unsuccessfully to buy his

t’s okay if your dog does not get along with other dogs! Let me say that again: It’s okay if your dog does not get along with other dogs! For some reason, everyone has come to believe that their dog must be social and needs to spend time with other dogs. This simply is not true and this belief has put our dogs into situations that they feel uncomfortable with and, subsequently, where they feel enormous pressure, too. This can ultimately lead our dogs to respond aggressively to other dogs to protect themselves. When I was a kid, we had one dog. We didn’t take her anywhere but to our cabin on the lake where she fished for minnows that swam along the shore. There were no other dogs for her to play with. She came with us in the car everywhere or in the boat when we went out on the lake. She slept on the floor next to my bed and waited for me by the front door when I came

home from school. Just how did she know what time it was? Susie bonded with my family instead of with other dogs, and we were bonded with her. She didn’t go to play dates with other dogs. We didn’t even know what doggie daycare or dog parks were. She lived a lovely life and we adored her endlessly. Dogs can live completely enriched lives without other dogs. I hear over and over, “I really want my dog to get along with any dog we meet on the trail” or some other place. So many times we pressure our dogs into being social even if they may not be. Yes, there are some dogs that thrive on playing with other dogs. But, many, many times dogs are not comfortable with other dogs and we miss their signals telling us they are uncomfortable until finally, one day, they can’t take it anymore and start a fight. We are stunned. And hurt and totally confused. Dogs are, in some ways, like people. Some of us thrive on large parties and gatherings, or love big families. Others like to live 11, 2015

alone and only go out when necessary. Dogs are the same way. And, dogs will get along with some dogs, but not others, just like we get along with some folks, but not others. Many times, they are not genetically capable of such social behavior. It’s just who that dog is. What is important is that we realize that if our dog is uncomfortable, we should not force those interactions and instead focus on the bond our dog has with us. Doing enriching games at home, even doing obedience training with your dog for fun, will truly help you create a closer bond with your dog. The short of this is, be sensitive to what your dog is telling you. Respecting who your dog is can make a huge difference in the quality of your relationship together.

The Papoose Club will hold the 10th annual Nordic Cup on Sunday, Feb. 22. The event will take place at the Croy Nordic Center just west of Hailey. This is a free event for young cross-country skiers ages 3-13 and features ski races in both skate and classic disciplines. Registration will be held from 10-10:30 a.m. on the day of the event and the racing action will begin at 11 a.m. Refreshments will be available, and all skiers will receive a participation hat and ribbon. “This year is a big milestone–10 years!” Tizz Miller, chair of the Nordic Cup, said. “It’s going to be another great event and the kids will have a fabulous time.” This event was introduced in 2006 as a cross-country skiing complement to Papoose Club’s longstanding downhill skiing event for kids—the Kindercup, which will take place the following Sunday, on March 1. “We are hoping snow conditions stay solid at Croy Nordic so that we can have this event in the South Valley,” Miller said. “But if there’s any doubt, check the www.papooseclub.org site for updates as the Sun Valley Nordic Center is an alternate location.”

The Sawtooth Society is excited to host several winter events in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. This is an opportunity for recreationists to enjoy the area year-round and get to know the winter side of the Sawtooth NRA. On Saturday, Feb. 14, the second annual Sawtooth Skate Ski Clinic at the Park Creek Nordic trails, located six miles west of Stanley on Highway 21, will take place. This event is free and will offer beginner classes from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and intermediate classes from 1-3 p.m. After skating, enjoy $5 chili and drink specials at The Sluice Ale House in Stanley. On Saturday, Feb. 21, the Sawtooth Society will host the first Winterfest 40 Fat Bike Race in Stanley as part of the sixth annual Stanley Winterfest. This 40-kilometer race winds through exciting and varied terrain all in view of the beautiful Sawtooth Mountains. For those who want a mellower race, a 30k option is also available. To register, visit http://winterfest40.athlete360.com/.
