‘Women And Their Dreams’
8th Annual Family Of Woman Film Festival

T
he Family of Woman Film Festival (FOWFF) will return to the Valley on Tuesday, Feb. 24 for its eighth year of honoring female energy through cinema. The theme of “Women and Their Dreams” weaves together six documentary films and several featured speakers over the week. The FOWFF will run through March 1, with a special Festival Filmmaker Update at The Community Library in Ketchum to kick off events on Monday, Feb. 23, at 5:30 p.m. Eight years ago, Peggy Goldwyn, on the American board of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), wanted to give her work a face. “I hoped, through presenting engaging, well-made films with personal stories, I could make a bigger impact on the public by offering statistics,” said Goldwyn in an interview. “Most Americans were not aware, eight years ago, that the UN had an agency dedicated to women’s health and well-being, nor why this was important.” Goldwyn decided to start the Family of Woman Film Festival and featured “Shame,” a documentary from Mohammed Naqvi. “Shame” tells the story of a young woman who brings the men who raped her to justice. The film is screening in Ketchum and Boise as part of the Festival Filmmaker Update. “He is doing remarkable work, and will give a new and nuanced understanding of the cultural, social and political issues that face Pakistan today,” Goldwyn said. The festival will also screen a new film from Naqvi, “Pakistan’s Hidden Shame.” Goldwyn has seen the level of support from the Valley grow over the last eight years, but her festival cannot take all the credit. “I do feel that the awareness of the importance of empowering women and girls is also growing around the world,” she said. As awareness has grown, so did the festival. For the second year, the FOWFF will be presented in a small version in Wilmette, Illinois. Goldwyn typically spends more than six months a year searching for films. “We make people aware of women by telling their powerful and engaging stories,” Goldwyn said. “Sepideh,” a film from Iran, features a young woman with dreams of the stars. As a member of her village’s astronomy club, Sepideh hauls her telescope up to the mountaintop. “The film feels like it’s fiction, but it’s a true story,” Goldwyn said. The FOWFF also has several lectures and panel discussions. The second annual Bonni Curran Memorial Lecture for the Health and Dignity of Women features Jill Sheffield, the founder of Women Deliver. Both Women Deliver and the FOWFF work to advocate for women’s rights. “We are focusing on the larger issues—such as that 50 percent of the world’s women don’t have education, adequate nutrition, healthcare and determination of their own future,” Goldwyn said. “Women’s rights are human rights.” More information about the upcoming Family of Woman Film Festival and its schedule can be found at www. familyofwomanfilmfestival.org. tws

Inductees Honored At The Ski Hall of Fame Ceremony New Inductees: Engl, Simpson & Davis
BY MARIA PREKEGES
I
t was standing-room-only for the Sun Valley Ski Hall of Fame induction ceremony last Friday, Feb. 13 in the Lecture Room of The Community Library in Ketchum. Three well-deserving inductees were honored for their contribution to the ski industry as well as the Sun Valley community. Many memories and stories were shared during the ceremony as Sigi Engl, Jack Simpson and Muffy Davis were inducted. All inductees and their representatives were thrilled by the accolade. “It’s an immense honor. It’s wonderful to come back home,” said Davis at the ceremony. “Sun Valley is always home, and to be able to see people that have made me capable of reaching my dreams and goals is wonderful, because it’s really this community that made it possible.” Local ski legend and Hall of Fame member Bobbie Burns presented the award for Engl and said, “He was my hero when I was young and a man I looked up to” while presenting the award to Engl’s daughter Christina Engl Carroll and granddaughter Kristin Orr. Pam Street and Jerry Edwards shared stories while they presented the plaque for Simpson. “[He] trained us like no other ski team coach at the time, making us hike up the mountain in the dark to slip a race course [a method of side slipping that is the least disruptive to the snow surface and leaves the best possible track to race on] and introducing calisthenics into our training,” Street said. “Jack created a tough group of kids.” Simpson’s son, Pat Simpson, and daughter Kelly Allison accepted for their father. Allison said her father’s recognition was “truly an honor. Our father was never one to toot his own horn,” while Jack’s son, Pat Simpson, spoke about his dad being “tough, but fair.” Davis was emotional when accepting her plaque from longtime friend Marc Mast of the Wood River Ability Program and thanked everyone for always being there for her. “There is nobody more deserving, hardworking, with more heart and more spirit than Muffy Davis,” stated Doran Key, one of Davis’s ski coaches. tws

Youth Take Over The Silver Screen Future Filmmakers Forum Submission
Forty-nine students were involved in the making of “Sun Valley Serenade: A 10-Minute Remake.” Photo courtesy of Community School

T
his year, Community School pays homage to the golden days of Sun Valley with “Sun Valley Serenade: A 10-Minute Remake.” The short film is a retrospect of 1940’s Sun Valley versus modern-day Sun Valley. The film is this year’s submission in the Sun Valley Film Festival’s Future Filmmakers Forum. The Future Filmmakers Forum showcases student-made films from the Wood River Valley, greater Idaho and across the country. Founded by Pirie Jones Grossman and Bex Wilkinson in 2013, the Future Filmmakers Forum invites students in grades seven through 12 to submit films up to 15 minutes long. “Sun Valley Serenade is a historic nod to our Valley, how it came to be and what it was,” said Peter Burke, Community School Upper School multimedia specialist, in an interview. “Our purposes in remaking the film were to recognize our history and observe ways in which our Valley has changed.” Forty-nine students were involved in the making of the film, handling everything from choosing the scenes, adapting the script and writing the screenplay. They also hosted auditions, planned the production schedule and scouted the film locations. All of the work was done entirely by students, in addition to the actual filming and editing of the final submission. Burke guided the students through the process and was there to advise them, but insisted they do it on their own. “It was a great experience,” said Community School junior Pierson Carlsen. “Peter was able to convey the whole process and get across the point of the movie to us so we could accurately portray it on screen. He really wanted the students to take the lead
and learn by experience, and we did.” Burke spent many years at the Sun Valley Lodge and grew up watching the original 1941 musical comedy more times than he can remember. The original full-length feature was filmed in the spring of 1941 in Sun Valley and, some might say, was what put the town on the map. The original film starred Milton Berle, Lynn Bari, John Payne and Sonja Henie. It also featured big band leader and musician Glenn Miller, as well as dancing by the Nicholas Brothers and Dorothy Dandridge, performing “Chattanooga Choo Choo.” Sun Valley’s own Olympic gold medalist, Gretchen Fraser, was the skiing stand-in for Sonja Henie in the movie. There are also original musical hints in the re-make, including “It Happened in Sun Valley,” “In the Mood” and “I Know Why (and So Do You).” Due to time constraints, there are not any full musical numbers in the re-make. “This film is a testament to learning by trial and error, which is who we are at Community School,” said Burke. “But the outcome was magnificent. Making this film gave students an idea of the deep history and hard work behind the building of Sun Valley.” The film will be shown Saturday, March 7 at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. Two awards will be given to the Future Filmmakers Forum student filmmakers. The Hot Shot is awarded for the best national film submitted by a student and will include a $500 cash prize from Big Wood Ski. The Gem State Junior is awarded for the best film submitted by a student from the state of Idaho, and the winner will receive a $250 cash prize from Big Wood Ski. The Sun Valley Film Festival will take place March 4–8. For more information, visit www.sunvalleyfilmfestival.org. tws

Glide Toward The Lights Dollar Mountain’s Night Ski Fun

S
un Valley Co. illuminated a segment of family- and freestyle-focused Dollar Mountain’s slopes for public enjoyment from 5–9 p.m. on Sunday. The so-called “Dollar Night” drew numerous participants who expressed enjoyment of the evening with plenty of smiles and lots of laughter. The Quarter Dollar high-speed quad chairlift serviced the special fun, granting access to learner-friendly piste (a marked ski run or path down a mountain) as well as terrain park zones. Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge opened its doors to the public, offering up comfortable surroundings and a menu of warming family favorites on a cold night of skiing. During daily operations, Dollar’s 6,638 feet of terrain is accessed via four chairlifts. On-snow amenities include a tubing course, cross course, Magic Carpet and six distinct freestyle zones. On Sunday night, portions of those facilities were cast in glowing light, courtesy of
six strategically placed mobile lamp towers. To accentuate the evening’s night ski fun, s’mores were available for roasting. Music from mobile speaker towers enlivened the outer patio area, where parents arranged picnics while watching their youngsters enjoy the snow. “It’s [night skiing] a family thing,” said Lisa Edwards, member of Sun Valley Company guest services in an interview. “We like the occasion because it offers something for the kids, and Mom and Dad.” Originally implemented on Feb. 17, 2013, Dollar Mountain night skiing has been a hit with visitors and locals alike. Enthusiasts of the mountain’s family areas and freestyle training zones consider Dollar an integral part of the Sun Valley experience. “Over 700 skiers and riders attended its inaugural night,” said Melissa Lipton, guest services member in an interview. Nighttime slope access infuses fresh energy into both the activity and culture of snow sports. Dollar saw action under the stars last winter during the Ho-
Ho-Ho Rail Throwdown, a friendly, freestyle competition that garnered strong crowd attendance as well as region-wide entrant participation. While taking a break between hot-laps [flowing through the terrain park quickly without stopping] to roast a few s’mores, skiers Keagan Noriuki and Brand Lindsey both agreed that night skiing is “awesome!” “We would love if this happened more often,” they said. Similar sentiments were heard from many others skiing and shredding the night away. One teen skier explained that, over the course of a season, paying for his own lift tickets got quite expensive, so a discounted event such as Dollar Night Ski is a great way to enjoy the slopes, minus the cost. Passes were being sold at rates of $25 per adult and $15 per child. “I really like skiing at nighttime,” exclaimed one elementary-school-aged boy, too shy to give his name. “I especially like it because skiing during the daytime has been so hot!”

n Jan. 23, 2015, 18-month-old local resident Ryker Gray had a horrible accident, leaving him with serious burns on his face, head, back, chest and arms. The Hailey Fire Department and Wood River Fire and Rescue responded to an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) call from the family and jumped to action. The child was transported to St. Luke’s hospital in Ketchum, where he was then flown with his family to the University of Utah burn unit in Salt Lake City. He was admitted for 10 days and is now in stable condition. “Ryker has a long road to recovery with the support and care of loving parents and good doctors,” stated family friends Tim Angeloni and Leah Blok on the free fundraising website www.youcaring.com. “We can’t be there to help in person, but we know there will be a lot of associated health costs.” The child is slowly recovering but, due to the long and extensive treatment, the monetary needs for the young family have been difficult. Both the Hailey and Wood River Firefighters associations are making donations to the family. Additionally, Angeloni and Blok have organized an online fundraising campaign to help offset medical costs for the Gray family. Originally, the goal of Angeloni and Blok was to raise $11,000 on YouCaring.com. On Feb. 8, the family reached their goal and posted a public thank you for helping the 18-month-old on his road
back to health. “Ryker is doing much better, and is healing quite well,” stated Angeloni and Blok in an online update. “The burns on his left arm have been of the greatest concern, and are requiring the most amount of attention. His spirits continue to improve every day. The Gray family is absolutely astonished by the response and support they have received, and cannot say enough to express their gratitude.” As of Monday, Feb. 16, $14,060 has been raised for the young burn victim through the help of 164 supporters and donors. The online fundraising Website for the Gray family, www.youcaring. com/medical-fundraiser/ ryker-s-burn-recoveryfund/301898, will be available through the end of February so family, friends and supporters can check on the progress of the Gray family and their son. Visitors to the site can also view a gallery of images of Ryker Gray, post comments, see updates and donate to the Gray family to help with their son’s recovery through the end of the month. Another option to support the family is to drop off a donation at any fire department in Hailey (Wood River or Hailey stations) or send donations to P.O. Box 1192, Hailey, Idaho 83333. “[Ryker] is starting to become more himself,” said mother Kira Gray. “He’s running around and playing and laughing. He is still in pain and his arm is still trying to heal, but his face and head have improved an incredible amount. He’s a tough little guy!” tws

trek. Wild Gift is a Hailey-based nonprofit that supports and inspires social entrepreneurs, using wilderness as its classroom. Wild Gift was founded by lifelong Wood River Valley resident, Bob Jonas, in 2002. Wild Gift helps emerging social innovators ages 21 through 35 to translate their ideas into social ventures worldwide. Using wilderness as a springboard, the unique 16-month Fellowship provides mentoring, seed funding, networking and other related services to help lift ventures off the ground. The organization selects extraordinary leaders (Fellows) and takes them on a deep wilderness trip and gives them start-up capital and expert

mentorship to accelerate their ideas. “It’s an organization of people that believe that wilderness is transformational, and is committed to seeking out and finding talented young visionaries and inspire them with the wilderness experience and then provide wrap-around support to launch social ventures that will change the world,” stated Deborah Knapp, executive director of Wild Gift. This year’s Fellows are Jon Duval, Tinia Pina (the only female in this current group), Michael Long and Leo Pollock. They all have founded companies aimed at promoting a diversity of social benefits. The Fellows will be coming straight from two weeks in the Idaho backcountry for the “Trail to Venture” event. During their trek, the Fellows will have learned wilderness survival skills, met with mentors and business experts, shared ideas, practiced their pitches and developed their vision for a better world. They’ll be talking about their wilderness experience and how it impacted them as individuals, and also how it will be integrated into their work.
The group will also be meeting with local school children from 4–5 p.m. at the Innovation Center to inspire them to think out of the box and be change-makers. “We are not just a backcountry wilderness experience,” explained Wild Gift board member Deborra Bohrer. “We are not just social entrepreneurs bringing in young people; we are combining the two because the importance of saving this world and understanding the world is the combination of these two things.” To date, Wild Gift has mentored 47 Fellows, who are driving innovation globally in the areas of education, agriculture, renewable energy, community development and land preservation. “The road to social change is not an easy one,” said Deborah Knapp, Wild Gift’s executive director. “For those choosing that path, the ability to sustain personal clarity and strength of vision are as important as a good business plan or raising capital.” To learn more about “Trail to Venture,” this year’s Fellows, the selection process and the organization, visit www.wildgift.org.

‘My Name Is Rachel Corrie’ BY YANNA LANTZ
I
n April, locals Charlotte Hemmings, member of the Screen Actors Guild, and Jon Kane are taking their production of “My Name is Rachel Corrie” to the Big Apple. This will be the first off-Broadway staging of the play in the past nine years. The piece will be shown at Culture Project, New York’s home for socially conscious theatre, from April 2–12. On April 10, Corrie’s birthday, there will be a benefit for the Rachel Corrie Foundation and Corrie’s parents will be in attendance. “My Name is Rachel Corrie” was constructed from Corrie’s journal entries and emails from age 12 through her death, edited by Alan Rickman and journalist Katharine Viner. The entire script comes from her voice and opinions. “It’s the story of a young idealist who thinks she can fix the world and change the world,” Hemmings said, who plays Corrie. “It’s really amazing to watch this young woman talk about her life as a 12-yearold and how scared she is to walk to the bus stop, to then standing in front of bulldozers in the Gaza Strip. It’s a cool progression to see someone’s life in almost its entirety through a piece of art.” “The play is about peace; the play is not about her death, it’s about her life,” director and producer Kane said. “She had a powerful belief that the world could be a better place and that we all have the power to help change the world.” Hemmings grew up in Idaho and Kane moved to the Wood River Valley about 18 years ago. The two have been collaborating in the local theatre scene for the past six years. Their paths first crossed when Kane saw Hemmings in a production of “Oliver.” “I got to throw water
all over my mom and it was awesome,” Hemmings laughed. Kane had been interested in going back to New York and producing a play, and he recently had a work accident where he ruptured his Achilles tendon. He was out of commission for just under five months, and in that time, he was able to raise funding, find a theatre and secure the rights for “My Name is Rachel Corrie.” “I love working with Charlotte and when I read the piece, I thought she’d be perfect for it,” Kane said. Because the duo are rehearsing locally and bringing the production to New York, the rehearsal process is unique. After weeks of rehearsals, Kane and Hemmings will film the play in late February and send the video to their designers in New York. From there, the designers will craft the lighting, sound and video. Additionally, they will be Skyped into rehearsals. “At the end of the play, there’s a film clip of her as a 10-year-old where she’s talking about ending world hunger, and it’s such a powerful moment,” Kane said. “When you see that clip, there’s not a dry eye in the house.” “My dream for going to New York is to do Rachel the justice she deserves, versus a tarnished name,” Hemmings said. “You Google her and there’s all these awful things and death threats, but she was a really incredible person. I want to open peoples’ eyes to what an amazing young woman she was.” Performances at the Culture Project will take place April 2–5 and 9–12, with a total of 10 shows. The Culture Project is located at 45 Bleecker St. in New York City. For tickets and more information, visit http://cultureproject.org/ current/rachel-corrie/.

Idaho Power Counts Bald Eagles As Part Of Population Survey
Idaho Power biologists counted 48 bald eagles during the company’s annual one-day survey along the Hells Canyon reservoirs. They also spotted seven golden eagles. The survey is part of a nationwide effort to keep tabs on the birds’ population. In years with heavy snow, carrion (dead deer) that eagles feed on is often concentrated along lower elevations in the canyon, resulting in more eagles being counted. Overall, company biologists say the area’s bald eagle population appears to be stable. Th e W e e k l y S u n •

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR FEB. 18TH FROM PICABO ANGLER
S
unny days are upon us this week and anglers can count on the fish reacting to it in some places. The best fishing will most likely take place on our freestone streams and tail-waters, where riffles and other surface features will give the fish a place to hide under the bright light. The sun will also mean high pressure and slightly cooler days than the last few weeks. Expect decent hatches of Midges on the South Fork of the Boise, the Big Wood and the Big Lost River. Anglers fishing the Big Wood River may also see decent occurrences of the Little Black Stonefly. If you see these guys crawling around on the banks, try swinging flies like Hare’s Ears and Prince Nymphs on a tight line. It is a fun technique and will almost always produce the biggest fish of the day. Simply cast across the river, or slightly upstream, without a strike indicator on the line. Instead, put a touch of weight about 12 inches above your fly. Let the fly sink as it comes even and then past you with the current. Once the fly gets near the end of the line, throw an upstream mend in the line to get the fly to swing slowly. At this point, the fly should come tight along with the line and, as it is swinging across the river, the fly should also move from the bottom of the river toward the surface. This will give the fly the appearance of emerging and will, in turn, trigger the prey drive in the fish and get them to attack! Silver Creek should continue to fish well. The daytime temps last week were high enough to form decent Midge hatches, and anglers in some places on the river were treated to rare winter dry-fly activity on the Creek. Streamer fishing is still the way to go if you want to target the biggest fish in the river. With clear skies, this will also be an excellent week to strike out for the South Fork of the Boise and the Big Lost River. If you head for the SFOB, load for bear, as this river in the winter is anyone’s guess as to what may be taking place. Midge Dries, Nymphs and Streamers could all come into play. On the Lost, take all the same flies you would fish on the Big Wood in the winter. Be sure to have some Baetis dries as well… just in case. Happy fishing, everyone!

Nice Is As Nice Does BY MARIA PREKEGES
L
iving in a resort community, I usually find that most people are in good moods. I mean, why wouldn’t we be? We don’t deal with a lot of traffic (and no, Hailey to Ketchum does not constitute traffic), we are surrounded by beauty and have an abundance of wonders to choose from: fresh air, clean living, fantastic restaurants and happy people. I mean, why wouldn’t we be happy? But alas…we aren’t always. We have our bad moods and days; it’s life, after all, and it’s not perfect. For me, I know I’m blessed in my life, but that doesn’t mean I’m always in a good mood, but I do make a conscious effort to stay positive, smile and be kind to others. A good attitude can go a long way, a smile can go ever further, and being nice can actually be good for your health! According to Dr. David R. Hamilton, acts of kindness create emotional warmth, which releases a hormone known as oxytocin. Oxytocin causes the release of a chemical called nitric oxide, which dilates the blood vessels. This reduces blood pressure and, therefore, oxytocin is known as a “cardioprotective” hormone: it protects the heart by lowering blood pressure. I travel a lot for work, and while I actually embrace the busy airports and even the rude people (I have to in order to stay sane), I find the only way to handle these people and not go bonkers is to be nice…and hope it comes back and changes the situation. I find most of the time this works very well. Thus…“Nice is as nice does” was born. So go ahead and smile, look people in the eye, say please and thank you–it’s good for you, and you may just make someone’s day. Laughter is the best medicine after all, or so the saying goes. tws

P
lace the anchovies, garlic, egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice and water into a blender or food processor and process for 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth. With the blender or processor running, pour the olive oil in a slow stream to emulsify. Stir in the Parmesan, a pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper. (Refrigerate the dressing if using at a later date.) I suggest caution when consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illnesses: To reduce those risks, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade-A or AA eggs with the shells intact. And, avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

‘Ode’
We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems. With wonderful deathless ditties We build up the world’s great cities, And out of a fabulous story We fashion an empire’s glory: One man with a dream, at pleasure, Shall go forth and conquer a crown; And three with a new song’s measure Can trample an empire down. We, in the ages lying In the buried past of the earth, Built Nineveh with our sighing, And Babel itself with our mirth; And o’erthrew them with prophesying To the old of the new world’s worth; For each age is a dream that is dying, Or one that is coming to birth. –Arthur O’Shaughnessy (1844–1881)

Intellectual Infrastructure: Deep Ecology BY DICK DORWORTH
I
recently saw a fine film concerning the environment of planet Earth, “Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret,” which I recommend to anyone who cares about… well, anything. One gentleman interviewed in the film, Howard F. Lyman, a lifelong Montana cattle rancher and author of “The Mad Cowboy,” commented that “75 percent of Americans consider themselves environmentalists,” a surprising assertion.
“Quality is a direct experience independent of and prior to intellectual abstractions.” –Robert Pirsig author of “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” It seems to me that if that statement were true, the air, water, soil, flora and fauna of America would certainly be healthier than they in fact are, but some research reveals that Lyman is correct. Most Americans consider themselves environmentalists, though a Gallup Poll puts the percentage at 61. Whether Lyman or Gallup are closer to the truth, most people reading this consider themselves environmentalists and will be interested in one of the best environmental activist organizations in America—The Foundation For Deep Ecology, based in San Francisco and found online at www. deepecology.org. It also suggests a disconnect between those environmentalists and their direct experience of the environment; that is, the perceptions of intellect and the consequential realities of action are not in accord. The Foundation For Deep Ecology addresses this disconnect in several ways, including its efforts “…to helping build the intellectual infrastructure of the conservation movement… Since its inception, the foundation has invested in a wide variety of such efforts, supporting numer-

ous journals (Wild Earth, Resurgence, Plain and AdBusters, to name a few), books (“The Case Against the Global Economy,” “Deep Ecology for the 21st Century,” “Turning Away from Technology”), conferences and symposia, and advertising campaigns. FDE-sponsored gatherings of leading thinkers led to the formation of several independent organizations including the International Forum on Globalization, the Jacque Ellul Society, and the Wildlands Project. The foundation has also operated an innovative book-publishing program that has produced numerous award-winning titles on conservation issues.” Deep Ecology is a term coined in 1973 by Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess whose environmental thinking had been greatly influenced by Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring.” Naess viewed much of the environmental thinking of the time as “shallow,” because it did not address the deeper root causes of environmental problems. Thus, Deep Ecology, which has an eight-point platform. The first is “The wellbeing and flourishing of human and nonhuman life on Earth have value in themselves (synonyms: inherent worth, intrinsic value, inherent value).” These values are independent of the usefulness of the nonhuman world for human purposes. The eighth is “Those who subscribe to the foregoing points have an obligation directly or indirectly to participate in the attempt to implement the necessary changes.” That is, between 61 percent and 75 percent of Americans have an obligation to participate in the attempt to implement the necessary changes, and the necessary intellectual infrastructure to do so is already in place.

Empowering Women

K
atja Peller, a senior at Wood River High School, is big on girl power. “The media is really at the heart of the problem,” Peller said. “It portrays women in a derogatory way and sexualizes them. That’s why I have created my own Website (http:/katjapeller.wix.com/the rebellion) as a way to present women in a positive light and to promote a positive body image. The important point is that it’s not what they look like—it’s what’s inside and what they have to offer the world.” Peller was the first student board member of the organization Girls on the Run, a national not-for-profit, in her sophomore year. “It’s a program for girls in elementary and middle school,” Peller said. “There is a lesson plan every day after school that covers one subject a week, like self-esteem and confidence, and incorporates running into it. I participated in all the elementary and middle school programs myself and I remember a lot of what I learned and had a lot of great coaches. “What I learned sparked my interest in women’s empowerment. I then helped bring the documentary film, ‘Miss Representation,’ to the Valley that tells the story of women in politics and how the media portrays them and how the focus is on what they look like. We showed it at the Community Campus and had a successful panel discussion afterwards. At the high school, we showed the trailer and in the discussion afterwards I was really surprised by how many boys didn’t think prejudice existed.” Peller’s senior project tackled the subject head-on. “My idea was to see how I
could positively boost female self-esteem with concern to the negative media,” she said. “I interviewed 17 girls with different ideas about beauty standards, how they felt wearing makeup, and what role the media played in it. I then asked, ‘What is something that you absolutely love about yourself?’ and then photographed women of all ages doing what they said. I then created a Web page called “Rebellion Against Negative Media,” where women can go and discuss issues about what they saw in the media relating to female empowerment. “I personally used to be really self-conscious what people thought of me. By empowering myself, my passion is to help other women with everything. It’s really important to me because I have two younger sisters, and with the Internet, I want to show them it’s okay to be who they are.” Last summer, Peller was fortunate enough to travel to India as part of the Compassionate Young Leaders program. Its mission is to spread compassion and bring awareness to one’s own mind and being able to help the community here as well as abroad. “What I took out of it is that the things we see here as problems are so small compared to the rest of the world,” Peller said. “It’s best to take a step back. One small thing here isn’t the end of the world. I took away so much learning from another culture and I achieved so much spiritual growth. I’ve grown in so many ways and I’m so much more mindful of how to treat other people. I’m also much more aware of who I am as a person and what I’m capable of doing. I’ve become a much happier person and I need to cultivate it because it comes from within.” tws

‘Keep The Home-Fires Burning’
BY MARYLAND DOLL
T
he Environmental Resource Center’s (ERC) new Fireside Chat Series hopes to prove that thinking together can have big results. The one-hour series, which takes place on the third Wednesday of every month, will start at 6 p.m. on Feb. 18 at the ERC, located at 471 Washington Ave. N. in Ketchum. The Center sees environmental awareness and sustainability as something that needs to start at home before it can reach the world. “Oftentimes talking about environmental issues can become very overwhelming for people,” explained Hadley DeBree, program director for the ERC, at the event. “Through the Fireside Chat Series we hope to localize topics and create a place for discussion about environmental awareness, not just a lecture on an environmental topic.”
“What the entire Fireside Chat Series does is offer an opportunity for community members to come together and discuss topics that are close to home in an interactive environment,” said Hadley DeBree, program director for the Environmental Resource Center, at the event. Courtesy photo
This month’s Fireside Chat, which is completely free with no RSVP required, will focus on “Energy in the Valley.” The ERC has invited guest expert John Reuter, of John Reuter Greenworks, to answer questions that might arise from the group related to energy efficiency at home or in the office. Other guest speakers include Community School teacher Scott Runkel and Community School Green Team students. The students will speak on the school’s conservation efforts and the progress of the LED lighting project, which the students have recently undertaken. “I believe we have a community that is well versed in environmental topics, but I still think there are people, like myself,

who are environmentally conscious, but have trouble with the intangibility of something like energy,” DeBree said. Her hope is that through efforts like the Fireside Chat, people will be able to build the knowledge base necessary to take bigger steps in their energy efficiency. “It just takes that extra bit of education on how to start the process for people to begin to apply it to their everyday lives,” DeBree said. Some small things to do to start reducing energy use include turning off lights when leaving a room or unplugging appliances when they aren’t in use. Another huge energy saver is LED lighting, which is starting to replace traditional light bulbs in businesses and homes all over town thanks to its economic efficiency. “Success will be measured by empirical evidence of community members taking action to reduce their carbon footprint,” states the ERC’s Website. “ERC energy education efforts will provide individuals and business owners a context for decisions so they can make informed choices that take into account energy, water and climate change.” The ERC’s campaign aims to educate local residents on the importance of securing a future for the planet, starting with “Energy in the Valley.” In the fight to raise awareness and sustain change, localization of environmental issues will prove to be the (LED) light at the end of the tunnel. tws
Free Legal Planning For Seniors CSI Senior Seminar

he College of Southern Idaho (CSI) is offering free legal seminars. The seminars, made possible through grants, are available free of charge and address issues pertaining to seniors and their extended families. The upcoming seminar, “Making Sure Your Desires Are Followed: Advanced Directives and Powers of Attorney for Seniors,” takes place on Friday, Feb. 20, from 10–11 a.m. at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theatre at the Community Campus in Hailey. Ahrens DeAngeli Law Group LLP representative, David J. Wilson, J.D., will present. “Seniors already have a large presence on our campuses,” said Hallie Star, director of CSI’s Blaine County Center. “We value the trustworthy relationship we have with our senior population.” CSI, a two-year technical college with its main campus in Twin Falls and satellite centers throughout the surrounding area, already offers free credited courses to seniors and reports an active segment of senior students on their grounds. “The February 20th seminar is the first of its kind at CSI,” said Star, who hopes to see good attendance to the seminar. “We could have as many as 100 seniors and family members on hand.” Presenter David Wilson has years of experience in elder law and was selected to speak for his expertise on the topic.

“We [CSI] have been very careful in our choice of speakers,” Star said. “It’s important that seniors and family receive clear, accurate information.” Wilson will speak on multiple topics including Durable Financial Powers of Attorney, which powers should be passed to agents and Advance Directives documents that express healthcare choices. “While many seniors are well supported by family and resources, there are still some who are not,” said Star. “These are people who built our towns and deserve care in life and after.” A second seminar will take place on Friday, April 10, at the same time and location of the previous seminar. The second seminar’s focus will be “Estate Planning For Seniors: Planning For Life, Not Just Death.” Advanced registration is required for those who wish to participate in the Feb. 20 seminar.

UI-Blaine Extension Tips
Vegetable Of The Day BY SARAH BUSDON
E
nvision mathematics, art and a broccoli- or cauliflower-type vegetable coming together to form a lime-green, psychedelic, self-repeating, bumpy, spiral, alien life form otherwise known as Romanesco. This is easily the most fascinating vegetable I have ever seen. When you take a closer look at Romanesco, you’ll notice its spiral-shaped pyramid, composed of pointy protuberances. This is where you can see mathematics come into play with nature; the Romanesco takes the form of a fractal which is a complex geometrical shape that looks almost the same at every scale factor. In self-replication, the florets embody a numerical sequence reminiscent of Fibonacci series. Fibonacci series is a sequence of consecutive numbers that add up to the next number (like: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on). If you count the number of spirals in each direction, they will always be consecutive Fibonacci numbers. Amazing. Romanesco is a cole crop and part of the Brassicaceae family. The plant is hardy in United States Department of Agriculture zones three to 10 and can grow well in both spring and fall. Romanesco requires a slightly shaded location with room to spread as plants can grow up to 3 feet in height and 2 feet in diameter. I bet you’re asking yourself, “How do I cook Romanesco?” It can be prepared in several ways: steamed, blanched, grilled or just in a salad. If you do a quick Google search, you’ll find a plethora of recipes online. I don’t know about you, but I have completely fallen for this odd yet beautiful vegetable and I can’t wait to try my hand at growing a plant or two. Romanesco seeds can be ordered through your local nursery
or purchased online. For more information on planting and growing vegetables, contact the Blaine County Extension office at 208788-5585.

A record number of Fall Chinook salmon nests (redds) were counted throughout the Snake River Basin by Idaho Power and cooperating agency and tribal biologists during the annual survey below Hells Canyon Dam. The 2014 survey, finished in December, identified 2,808 redds in the Snake River—the third-highest total since intensive surveying began in 1991. In the Clearwater River, 3,078 redds were counted. Other tributaries—the Grande Ronde, Imnaha and Salmon rivers—added smaller amounts, resulting in a total count of 6,373.

harles Farrell was working a night shift in the ore house. He felt some shaking and then he heard the roar. He knew exactly what the rumble was and raced to the end of the building and out onto the ore dump. The deadly torrent of snow Destruction and despair. Courtesy of the Mallory and debris that followed crashed into the ore house Collection at Hailey Public Library and it disintegrated before the miner’s eyes. He was miraculously spared, but only by 10 or 12 feet. Farrell stood in the snowy dark at the toe of the slide, grateful for his life and blinking in disbelief at the appalling calamity above him. The office, storehouse and compressor buildings were gone. The boiler rooms were standing, but unrecognizable, and the two-story bunkhouse was flattened. It was 3:30 Sunday morning and he only had starlight to go by, but he could hear the final settling of the snow and debris and the moaning of the men—the injured and the dying. Abner Donnelly had been sleeping in the boarding house that was barely missed. He yelled to Mrs. Powers and Mrs. Fraser over the sounds of crashing timbers. They were all spared, but Mrs. Fraser fainted when she heard the men and saw the heads and arms and legs protruding from the snowpack in the dim starlight. When she regained consciousness, the trio waded in waist-deep snow with other half-dressed survivors to the warmth and safety of the Federal Mill. Response of the able bodied in the face of mass tragedy was instant, heroic and miner-like by all measures. Willie Hewitt was one of the first to be pulled out of a snowbank. He was half frozen, but insisted on going to Hailey (15 miles away) to tell his mother he was fine. Clinton Hurst, an uninjured friend, volunteered to help him. E.C. Jones began to sing “Casey Jones” as soon as his head was uncovered. Sam LaBarge was found dead and standing in the compressor room doorway. His carbide lamp was in one hand and his pipe was in the other. His face was so disfigured that dressings were applied and not to be removed until by the undertaker. Morris Welch immediately came up from Hailey to search for his brother, Philip. After several hours, they found him. He was “unblemished” and appeared to be sleeping in the snow. Andy Smith and four others were thrown into the gables of the bunkhouse by the first wave of the slide and were protected as the remaining walls of the bunkhouse slid down the ravine. At 2:30 in the afternoon, the threat of another slide stopped the recovery effort. But by mid-afternoon the next day, the quick and the dead had all been removed or accounted for. Tony Taylor is a longtime Hailey resident and local history buff. He enjoys skiing on soft snow and training horses in his free time.

Filmmaker Retrospective “Shame” With Mohammad Naqvi Over the past eight years, the Family of Woman Film Festival (FOWFF) has welcomed 30 compelling films and 15 accomplished filmmakers to the Wood River Valley. For the second year, the festival’s events will include a returning filmmaker from a previous festival. This year’s filmmaker and presenter, Mohammad Naqvi, will reprise a showing of his documentary “Shame” on Monday, Feb. 23 at 5:30 p.m. in The Community Library in Ketchum. “Shame” was first presented in 2008 at the very first FOWFF. The story is a compelling narrative of a young Pakistani woman, Mukhtaran Mai, who displays remarkable courage in bringing the men who gang-raped her to justice. “With ‘Shame,’ Mukhtaran became a heroine for me,” Naqvi said. “Her situation was horrible, but her tragedy became her empowerment for women and children to change and face an entire town. One person does make a difference.” The Community Library is located at 415 Spruce Avenue, Ketchum. For more information on the screening of “Shame”, visit http://familyofwomanfilmfestival.org. 18
t’s easy to throw around a lot of adjectives related to drumming to describe the fine new film “Whiplash”; propulsive and thundering come to mind. The story is familiar and harkens back to many sports films that you’ve seen. There are also the elements of a good boot camp film—think “Full Metal Jacket”—in this story of a young jazz drummer with aspirations of becoming one of the greats and joining his idols Buddy Rich and Charlie Parker. The fine young actor Miles Teller, who also distinguishes himself as one to watch, plays the drummer beautifully. Teller is enrolled at the top music school in the country, in Manhattan, where he meets a sadistic teacher that alternately seeks to destroy him and, at the same time, push him to greatness. J.K. Simmons (yes, he looks familiar and you’ve seen him in all those insurance ads) has the part of a lifetime as the school’s elite bandleader. Students quiver in fear should he ever address them and he resembles nothing so much

as the meanest Marine drill sergeant that walked the planet. Teller’s dream is to become the drummer of this elite band, but he accomplishes it with a price. He has a flirtation with a love interest but he has no room for anything other than his dream, and his single-minded purpose and arrogance are both the source of his greatness and his weakness, and Teller plays it to perfection. The movie ends in rousing fashion, with the “big game” being a concert at Carnegie Hall and the twisted relationship between student and pupil climaxing with an amazing drum solo that lifts the audience to an ecstatic pitch.

Kudos to the director, Damien Chazelle, who at 29 greatly impresses in his second film. “Whiplash” is one of the better films of the year. tws

amp Perkins is located 37 miles north of Ketchum, near Alturas Lake, and its summer camps for kids are promoted as “…an incredible location for your child to unplug with fun, safe programs, outdoor recreation and activities; opportunities to develop life values and appropriate risk-taking with significant, trained adult mentors and like-minded peers; and chances to form and grow lasting faith.” A member of the National Lutheran Outdoor Ministry Association, Camp Perkins offers seven different youth camps for grades three to six, four to seven, five to eight, seven, eight and nine through 12 this summer starting June 28 and running through August 7. The cost of the camps is $290 if registered by March 15, $305 between March 16 and April 15, $315 from April 16 to May 31 and $325 after June 1. Camp Perkins is situated on land leased from the U.S. Forest Service and has 11 wood-heated cabins and the adult and family Retreat Center. More than 3,000 people participate in Camp Perkins programs each year. “Camp Perkins offers more than just swimming, biking, canoeing, sailing, horseback riding, volleyball, guitar, photography, art, basketball, backpacking and hiking; campers gain independence, learn teamwork, make friends and build self-confidence and relational skills in a safe, accepting atmosphere,” states a Camp Perkins press release. “At camp, young people have time away from regular routines and electronics to think about their future, to evaluate unhealthy patterns, and to discover the truth that Jesus loves them and has an amazing plan for their lives,” said Signe White, camp director. Set in one of the Gem State’s most beautiful mountain ranges, campers explore nature, participate in new adventures and test their limits in a healthy environment surrounded by the Sawtooths.
