Volunteer Opportunities For Summer BY P.M. FADDEN

olunteering not only provides donated time, but also implies access to experiential avenues that illuminate a community’s lifestyles and people. The Wood River Valley is rife with charitable organizations and initiatives. “Volunteering not only

Get Informed, Get Involved

helps get important work done, but forms informed citizenry,” said Community Library Executive Director, Jenny Emery Davidson. “The more our citizens know, the more they care about where they live.” The Community Library accepts volunteers at The Gold Mine Thrift Store and library locations. Collection organization is appreciated

and additional opportunities exist transcribing oral histories, manning the circulation desk or aiding calendar programs and workshops. “Support from volunteers is integral to all parts of our organization,” agreed Peta Verhaeghe, volunteer coordinator/outreach manager with Higher Ground Sun Valley (HG). “Higher Ground relies on community

to positively impact others’ lives.” Higher Ground hopes to see strong volunteer numbers for their “Hero’s Journey” event, held Monday, July 6, 2015. The yearly gathering represents HG’s largest fundraising initiative. “I Have a Dream” (IHD) Project Coordinator, Devon Annan, encourages IHD aid

with reading groups, tutoring and adult mentoring. “Getting involved with Valley youth is important,” Annan said. “It actively makes our community better for our future.” The Advocates Volunteer Coordinator, Jill Iris, agreed. The Advocates’ “Community Garden” is a continued, page 19

Four Women Named To Heritage Court By Blaine County Heritage Court

he Blaine County Historical Museum’s Heritage Court, now in its 12th year, has named four women to this year’s Court, based on recommendations by local community groups. The women will be honored with a tea, a coronation ceremony at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey on June 14, and in summer parades throughout Blaine County. Denise Thomas of Hailey is the choice of the Sawtooth Rangers. She has been an active member of the Rangers for years, helping with the 4th of July rodeo and many other activities. Her own children were in 4-H and, after they grew up, Denise lent her horses out to other children so they could have the opportunity to ride and show. She even transported the horses to different functions so the youngsters could have the experience. In addition to her leadership in 4-H, Denise has participated in the Boy Scouts’ 4th of July pancake breakfast, been a Cub Scout leader, helped Alice Schernthanner with the Papoose Club Kindercup race, and volunteered for the handicap riding program at Sagebrush Arena, which has since become Swiftsure Ranch. The Wood River Women’s Foundation has named Ruth Lieder of Sun Valley to the Court. Ruth arrived in the Valley in 1971 to work as the advertising and public relations director for the Sun Valley Resort. Early on, she volunteered at the Gold Mine and became a member of the Women’s Auxiliary of Moritz Community Hospital. She was instrumental in helping Dr. Bob Beebe start the Wood River Animal Shelter and served as its president for two years. In 1979 she was elected to the Sun Valley City Council and was appointed mayor in 1981, replacing Dick Heckman, who had resigned. As her automobile license indicated, she preferred to be called “Mayher.” She was reelected three times and considers her main accomplishments to be the Sun Valley bike path and the consolidation of the Sun Valley hospital with the county hospital. She retired in 1994, but has been active with Hospice, the Writers’ Conference, The Hunger Coalition, Caritas Chorale, St. Thomas Playhouse and Choir, the building of the YMCA and the Wood River Women’s Foundation. Virginia Reed, who lives on Baseline Road, is named to the Court by the Bellevue

Library. A lively combination of determination and speed, Ginny is famous in ski racing circles, and has been for over 60 years. In her early years she had roles in Hollywood movies, but since the 1960s she has concentrated on skiing. In the 1970s she began to teach skiing at Sun Valley with her good friends Bill Janss, Sigi Engl and Stepp Froelich. Then, in 1988, she began her career in the world of masters ski racing. Since then it’s been a whirlwind of races and medals, right up to March of this year, when, at age 84, she competed in the Alpine Masters National Championship on Baldy. Along the way Ginny has won championships in Sweden, Canada (three times), and the U.S. Nationals (many times). In 2006 she competed in the World Senior Games and won a silver medal in tennis! When the snow’s gone, Virginia tends her 125-acre ranch in the Bellevue Triangle and enjoys walking dogs at the animal shelter. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren also keep her busy year-round. Carley Baird of Carey is the lady chosen by the Blaine County Fair Board. Carley has been a part of the Carey community for 60 years, and the Baird family has a heritage in the Carey Valley that goes back to 1898. She raised a family of six boys and helped her husband Ray ranch and farm. Gardening, sewing, painting and music are some of the talents she has shared generously with friends and family. Their house is decorated with many of Carley’s beautiful paintings of the Pioneer Mountains and the land that Ray’s father homesteaded. Carley and Ray have been instrumental in working with conservation organizations to preserve wildlife and open space in ranch and farmland. The 2012 issue of “Conservation Connections,” a publication of The Nature Conservancy, celebrates their stewardship of the land that puts preserving a way of life over making a living. The Bairds’ initiative in putting their land in a conservation easement has encouraged others in the Carey area to do the same. The Heritage Court committee invites everyone to come to the coronation ceremony to honor these ladies who have contributed so much to our Valley. The museum’s website includes stories and pictures of all the ladies honored since the beginning of the Heritage Court; for more information, visit www.bchistoricalmuseum.org.

BY DICK DORWORTH

ave Kassner was born 57 years ago in Two Rivers, Wisconsin ~ a town of 11,000 people in Manitowoc County on Lake Michigan. Kassner and his two brothers and sister graduated from Washington High School. Their dad worked in sales and service for the company that invented the first electric clothes dryer and their mother was a busy housewife. In high school, Kassner was a competitive cross-country runner, swimmer and cross-country skier. At the age of 17, while still in high school, Kassner became a fledgling entrepreneur, opening a cross-country ski retail store and a small cross-country ski school. After six years, a recession put him out of business. Kassner left Wisconsin and moved to Alta, Utah, to work in restaurants, construction or whatever else it took to keep him on skis ~ a path familiar to many Wood River Valley residents reading this. While skiing at Alta, he met Colleen, the woman who would become his wife, and they moved to Seattle, where he continued to work in restaurants and construction. Like most serious Seattle skiers, the Kassners had visited Sun Valley a few times to ski and, of course, liked it. A family tragedy in 1982 (Kassner’s younger brother was killed in a car wreck) motivated them to seek new horizons and the Kassners moved to the Wood River Valley. Dave’s first job was at Creekside restaurant in Ketchum. For a few years, he continued working restaurants at night, skiing most days and working construction after the ski season ended. By 1986, Dave and Colleen were thinking of children and Dave had concluded, “I didn’t think I wanted to be doing construction work in my 50s.” Inspired by his great-grandfather, who had been a sheriff in Wisconsin, and his great-grandmother, the first female sheriff in that state, Kassner approached then Ketchum Police Chief Cal Nevland about employment with the Ketchum Police Department. Nevland gave him the first available position and Kassner has been with the Ketchum Police Department ever since. Last July, Kassner was appointed to the position of police chief by the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office, which provides police services for the City of Ketchum. He was one of a dozen applicants for the job and was deemed the most qualified. . In 2009, Kassner had served for four months as acting police chief. He has pursued continuing education since joining the police department in several areas of management ~ a 12-week mental health program with the National Alliance on Mental Illness as well as training on safety issues involving pedestrians and bicycles. He was the evacuation plan coordinator for the Castle Rock and Beaver Creek wildfires. Dave and Colleen have two sons, aged 23 and 18, and Dave is very pleased that they were raised in Ketchum, which he calls “…a fantastic community which has been very good to me.” Dave still manages to ski at least 40 days a year. tws

Church Leaders Hold Safeguarding Workshop Church leaders from around the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho gathered at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Ketchum on Saturday, April 18, to learn ways to safeguard children and adults from sexual abuse and exploitation. The Rev. Ken Brannon, Rector of St. Thomas (far back, right of clock), said, “If we can prevent a single case of abuse or exploitation, we have made a positive impact on the world.” Ordained and lay leaders in the Episcopal Church are required to take the training at least every five years.

Gold Mine Thrift Store 60 years strong BY P.M. FADDEN

his spring, Ketchum’s iconic Gold Mine Thrift Store celebrates 60 happy years of community support. A gathering center for residents and visitors alike, The Gold Mine is proud to have offered near unbeatable bargains ~ on all manner of items ~ since 1955. Moreover, sales from The Gold Mine inventory provide a foundation of support to The Community Library in Ketchum. Gold Mine revenue accounts for over one-third of all Community Library funding. “We’re here to provide support for the library and the great programs offered there,” said Gold Mine Managing Director, Craig Barry. The Gold Mine and The Community Library are historical presences. Both establishments honor the vital roles each has filled over the course of these past 60 years. “The Gold Mine makes The Community Library possible,” said Community Library Executive Director, Jenny Emery Davidson. “Originally begun as a brainchild of citizens wishing to build a library, The Gold Mine has grown a cultural identity unto itself.” Ever organized and overseen by dedicated residents, the once fledgling library had, in early years, occupied the frontage space of what is today entirely The Gold Mine Thrift Store. What was then known as The Gold Mine was nestled beside the library, but under the same roof. “It’s our wish to carry on the tradition started by those first 17 ladies,” said Linda McMahon, Gold Mine assistant manager. “It’s important that we maintain this social heart of our

community.” Today, The Gold Mine is a thriving stand-alone addition to the health of Valley commerce and community. Each new season sees a fresh look within the store and a renewed catalog of offerings to customers. Treasures awaiting discovery include decorations and furnishings, clothing or footwear for every climate, housewares, sporting goods, literature and unlikely knick-knacks to ignite imaginations. None of this would be possible without the selfless dedication of Gold Mine staff and the countless volunteers who lend their hands throughout the year. Busy days at The Gold Mine are not unlike the swarming mercantile bazaars of great public plazas or town squares, and it is the agile assistance and ready smiles of store personnel that truly facilitate the magical discoveries unearthed upon the store’s racks. “We’re an interesting hybrid of professional staffers alongside a core of volunteers who step up when we really need them,” said Barry. “We couldn’t do what we do without our volunteers.” With a storewide selection that literally changes with each new day, The Gold Mine Thrift Store truly improves with time. Curious shoppers and community visitors are encouraged to pay The Gold Mine a visit at 331 Walnut Avenue, Ketchum. Phone them at 208-726-3465 or find them on Facebook under “Gold Mine Thrift Store.” Davidson summed up The Gold Mine’s significance: “One of, if not the, most commonly asked question at the Visitors Center is: ‘How do I get to The Gold Mine?’”

“Honk! Jr.” is the spring musical for budding thespians in the Community School’s Middle School Masque. Shows will be held this weekend at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 24 and at 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 25. Performances will take place inside the Community School Theatre. “It’s the story of ‘The Ugly Duckling,’” said Joel Vilinsky, director and middle school drama teacher. “The neat thing about this story is it speaks to the kids. They’re learning, ‘I just need to be me; things are gonna work out and people will help me along the way, too ~ there’s always somebody who cares.’” In “Honk! Jr.,” Hans Christian Andersen’s heartwarming tale is told in musical form. The tale is set in the country with a memorable cast of characters, who watch and help Ugly find his way. George Stiles and Anthony Drewe’s entertaining score features numbers like “A Poultry Tale” and “Warts and All.” The show, in full form, has won multiple awards, including Great Britain’s Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical in 2000. The songs are catchy and convey important themes and lessons for life. “I love the song ‘Warts and All,’” said Vilinsky. “It’s about how, some day, someone is gonna love you, warts and all; you’re gonna find someone who loves you for everything you are, regardless.” The cast for this production includes a range of students and experience ~ from first-timers onstage to more experienced actors. Jasper Mott drives the story in the role of Ugly, supported by Christine DuFur as Ida, Peter Morowitz as Drake and a true ensemble of storytellers. Other cast members include: Laine Allison, Leyla Ba, Sammi Brunker, Arianna Carlson, Sofia Carlson, Henry Cherp, Grace Cleveland, Kate Connelly, Tillie David, William DeWolfe, Norah Dowdle, Ridge Dirksmeier, Maddy Dunn, Caroline Estep, Christine Estep, Andrew Garratt, Tallulah Gilbreath, Ethan Hunt, Noelle LaFleur, Blake Letourneau, Julia Ott, Eliza Sammis, Shea Slanetz, Alex Stuessi, Sophia Sturgeon, Aurora Wilkinson and Zach Younger. Community school faculty Nancy Parsons-Brown, choreographer, and Alyssa Hershey, music director, complete the creative team. Vilinsky is extremely proud of the kids.

“It’s a joy to watch these kids put on a show,” he beamed. Vilinsky emphasized the importance of the storytellers in pulling “Honk!” off successfully. “It’s about the pacing and how the kids fall into different roles ~ they may be a goose in this scene, a chicken in that scene, a duck...it really becomes about the storytellers,” the director said. The kids are having a blast. They started rehearsals after spring break and have been going full speed ever since. “I like learning the songs, and the dancing, and learning the lines,” said Dirksmeier, actor. “I like ‘Look At Him’ because it’s just a fun song.” “My favorite part is just being a part of it and being able to act with everybody,” said Mott, seventh-grader. The show runs about an hour and has no intermission. “It’s a great length for families and this level of actors,” Vilinsky said. “Come and enjoy yourselves!” Tickets are $5 and will be sold April 20-24 at the Community School’s middle school office. Tickets will also be available at the door, but quantities are limited. For questions, call Yvonne Inman at 208-6223960, ext. 138.

Local Food Alliance shares a special evening BY MARIA PREKEGES

oin the Local Food Alliance for a fun and informative evening featuring a screening of the documentary “Food Patriots.” The event takes place on Thursday, April 30 at 7 p.m. at Magic Lantern Cinema in Ketchum. “‘Food Patriots’ is a humorous and inspirational look at one family’s quest to grow their own food and raise chickens after their teenage son’s battle with a foodborne illness,” stated Stacy Whitman, communications director for the Local Food Alliance. “Each and every one of us has a food story. ‘Food Patriots’ will be a fun night to come together and share those stories. It will be an opportunity to celebrate local food and learn how to make small changes that could have a huge impact on the health of our community.” Ali Long, founder and executive director of the Local Food Alliance, also looks forward to the film. “‘Food Patriots’ is a film and community engagement campaign designed to get people out in their yards and into the dirt,” she said. “According to a recent focus group lead by The Hunger Coalition, Wood River Valley Residents want to learn to grow food ~ this is a humorous and inspiring film towards that end.” Directly following the film, attendees can join a conversation about changing the way we eat, buy and think about food. It’s a great time to meet the people involved and see how we can change our thinking about food in the Wood River Valley. From growing food, learning about the local farmers, nutrition and the like, many topics will be discussed and no question is off the table. If it’s about food, it can be discussed. So what is a Food Patriot and what is the Local Food Alliance? “Our community cares about food,” Whitman explained. “Over the years, we’ve heard many people talk about the need for change. The Local Food Alliance is working to make that change happen. Our mission is to create a healthy local food system and establish food security in the Wood River Valley.” “In 2013, we started the Local Food Alliance to drive system-level change in our local community and beyond,” Long said. “The systemic problems we face ~ health, economic and environmental ~ demand systemic solutions. We engage multiple stakeholders ~ local farmers, business owners, school administrators, nonprofit groups, community food providers and consumers ~ to procure and foster more effective solutions for our Valley. Our aim is to ‘connect the dots’ for greater efficiencies and to further existing efforts toward a healthy local food system.” How does this all help the local community? “By creating a healthier food system, we have an opportunity to positively impact many critical aspects of the Wood River Valley, including public, environmental and economic health,” Whitman said. “From farm-to-school lunches to film screenings to local food investing workshops, we are working to educate the public and bring healthy, farm-fresh local food to the mouths of Wood River Valley kids and families.” The Local Food Alliance wants to be a catalyst for change. “Changing our food system is no easy feat,” Long said. “But it is critical if we want to solve problems such as hunger, obesity and diabetes, animal mistreatment and climate change.” For more information on “Food Patriots” and to purchase tickets, visit www.FoodPatriotsWoodRiver.eventbrite. com. Tickets are $6 in advance, $10 at the door. For more information on the Local Food Alliance, please visit their tws website at: www.localfoodalliance.org.

Spring Into Spring Silvercreek Art Exhibition BY YANNA LANTZ

new group exhibition at Silvercreek Art in Ketchum, “Spring Time in the Mountains,” will have an opening reception on Friday, April 24 from 5-8 p.m. Featured artists for the show include Sue Dumke, Marybeth Flower and Joe Bauwens, George Gund, Judy Pittman and Christine Warjone. “We wanted to do an introduction of spring weather and highlight the transition of colors and events gearing up for summer,” said Levie Smith, office manager. “Our hope with Silvercreek Art is to celebrate all the arts. So, in our openings, we’re also going to be including food, cooking and music.” Additionally, attendees are encouraged to bring their pets to this particular showing. The artists for “Spring Time in the Mountains” have captured spring’s colors of pinks, greens, yellows and blues through photography and paint. Sue Dumke’s photography explores beautiful poppies and Buddha statues. She uses a unique process to create her art and make it durable. “I discovered different printing techniques and surfaces to enhance each image,” Dumke stated on Silvercreek Art’s website. “Metal materials make for a perfect combination of color, depth and quality, unlike paper. The metal images are waterproof and UV protected, enabling diverse display opportunities.” For this showing, Flower and Bauwens, a married couple, have focused their photography on colorful

landscapes of Idaho and scenes of Ireland’s beauty. George Gund’s photography juxtaposes plant life within urban environments. “His imagery is on the persistent nature of nature,” Smith explained. Pittman’s paintings of dogs depict the loving eyes of man’s best friend and allow the subjects’ personalities to shine through the strokes and layers. There will be a drawing for a free painting by Pittman of a lucky local’s dog or cat. The painting will be revealed for Gallery Walk on Friday, July 10. To be considered, drop off a photo of a pet at Silvercreek Art on or before Friday, April 24 or e-mail an image to JudyPittmanArt@gmail.com by April 24. Christine Warjone’s works include detailed acrylic paintings of musical instruments and fascinating subjects. Truly astounding are the fingers painted in her series of classical instruments. “The way she captures the imagery of the fingers ~ this is close to 45 layers of paint,” Smith said. “So she applies the paint, which she

does with the brush and her fingertip, and she gets the layers to get the texture and the shadowing. Then, she comes in with a fine brush.” Warjone and Pittman will be featured in the July Gallery Walk. One of Smith’s favorite pieces in this exhibition is titled “Concert Seating,” by Warjone. It depicts a local scene. “This is a Ketchum painting,” Smith explained. “It’s a team of people and a bus pulled up for Ketch’em Alive! at the Parks and Rec Center in west Ketchum. It’s really colorful and fun!” Down the road, Silvercreek Art is looking to hold nights for musicians to come and jam and nights for painters to do the same while enjoying a glass of wine. Stay tuned for more information. Silvercreek Art is located at 331 Sun Valley Rd., in Ketchum. The gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment.

The parking lot was completely full as there were several people in attendance at the meeting. During the meeting, Briscoe bestowed a key to the city to 2014 Olympic snowboarding champion Kaitlyn Farrington, of Bellevue; and, he was also called out to resign as mayor.

Business To Grow By Bellevue’s ‘Business After Hours’ BY P.M. FADDEN

ocial blends with commerce in Bellevue’s “Business After Hours” (BAH). “BAH got started two years ago,” explained Bellevue Mayor Chris Koch. “Bellevue’s Chamber of Commerce had recently been re-formed and we got this program running to support our growing area.” BAH is designed and implemented in the spirit of growing and strengthening business and community in the local area. “It’s a platform for businesses to invite their clientele as well as showcase themselves among fellow business community members,” said Mayor Koch. BAH Bellevue incorporates a wide array of business organizations to better harmonize the community’s healthy economic infrastructure. Participants to BAH include banking representatives, accounting firms, roofing companies and restaurant owners. “We [Bellevue] are growing every year,” said Mayor Koch. “More and more people want to get involved with business in Bellevue.” Six BAH socials are scheduled every year, though the Chamber of Commerce remains flexible to include additional expressions of interest. The BAH season typically commences in May, weather permitting, and concludes in September. “Our events commonly take place outdoors,” said BAH director, Maureen Turzian.“With such a naturally beautiful setting, we like to be in the fresh air to enjoy it.” This year’s BAH schedule began with an April

14 event put on by Teresa Prine at Primary Therapy Source, Bellevue. “We are excited to be a part of the area and look forward to involvement with the community and the ability to provide specialized services,” said Prine, marketing director and therapist at Primary Therapy Source. Future BAH dates include a Safe Haven July 14 gathering and an August 11 joint fiesta between US Bank and La Cabañita. BAH gatherings run from 5-7 p.m. Business participants are encouraged to contribute to a BAH “50/50 raffle.” The raffle and its prizes serve to further network and integrate area businesses with one another as well as with consumers/residents. “BAH is absolutely open to the public,” said Turzian. “Everyone is welcome.” “We’ve seen good turnouts thus far,” said Mayor Koch. “Anywhere from 15 to 30 people have attended past events. Of those that have attended past BAH events, briefs

we’ve been fortunate to capture a wide variety of our area businesses.” “The more the merrier,” agreed Turzian, who pointed out that businesses pair up to enhance the evening’s enjoyment. “If one business has a venue and the other has entertainment or food to offer, then both businesses benefit from the other.” As for the future of BAH Bellevue, Mayor Koch would like to see the event calendar grow along with the town. “Bellevue has proven to be a vibrant, active community,” he said. “Our goal will always be healthy growth with each year.” “It’s a relaxed, friendly atmosphere for businesses to get to know one another,” said Turzian. “And everything we do, business activity or otherwise, is geared toward the support of our great community,” Mayor Koch added.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR APRIL 22 FROM PICABO ANGLER

We have a month to go before the new fishing season is upon us. This makes for an exciting time at Picabo Angler as we receive summer merchandise, get our guide roster completed and begin to watch “The Creek” closely!

It is safe to expect another early Brown Drake hatch this year as the conditions right now are well aligned with last year. It may be a blessing the opener is on May 23. If the opener was another week or two later, there is a chance we’d watch the Drake with cameras instead of fly rods. It’s hard to fathom us fishing the Drake in 30 or so days… The past few seasons during the end of May have been prime time for the Drake, but then there is the Farmer’s Almanac, which is essentially predicting the Drake for June 1-4 this year. This is still a week or two earlier than the norm, and if I had to make a wager, I’d be hard pressed not to agree with the Almanac. We’ll keep you posted here as we get closer to opening day. In a few more weeks we’ll kick some nymphs out of the silt and see how mature they are. On calm days on the Creek we are already seeing Callibaetis. This insect fished well the first few weeks of the season last year. Be prepared for a banner year of Callibaetis. Kilpatrick Pond fished very well with Callibaetis last season, just after the restoration project was complete. With another full season under the belt, we can expect great things here this year as well! The cold water coming out of the bottom of the Pond also had a positive effect on the Creek downstream. Combined with the work of other landowners like John French, the Creek’s hatches seem to be a bit more prolific in the lower reaches than they have been the past 10 or 12 years. If you’re going to fill your fly box for the Creeks opener, have Baetis, P.M.D, Callibaetis, large Ants and Beetles, Brown Drakes and a few Mouse patterns. We encourage you to come down early this year and walk the banks of Silver Creek. The fish are boiling most days and a few minutes down here will fill your soul and send you home eager to buff out your gear! Please help us support good fish health this summer. Land them quickly, release them gently. Happy Fishing Everyone!

Set Your Watch By Friendship BY MARIA PREKEGES

here are a few things in town that you can set your watch by. The ski lifts open at 9 a.m. in the winter; there’ll be traffic to Ketchum in the morning and more going south in the evening. The sun will rise and the sun will set. Although this actual time changes a bit, you get my point. What you might not be aware of is another happening that takes place nearly every day. At 4 p.m. at a local coffee shop, you can find a great group of people having their afternoon visit. The espresso they order is secondary ~ no offense to the owner ~ and although most of them are Austrian, they exemplify the meaning of the Greek term “Parea.” They meet and talk about everything ~ sometimes in another lanMaria Prekeges guage. They is a television host, are friends for producer and longlife and I am time local who loves lucky enough reporting and who is to call them by always learning from the same term. others. The definition of Parea is “a group of friends who regularly gather together to share their experiences about life, their philosophies, values and ideas.” In my Greek family, it’s the same. Perhaps this is why I adore these folks so much. Most of this group moved here in the ’60s to teach skiing and have seen much in our Valley, but they are humble beyond means. When asked what celebrities they befriended, they change the subject gracefully. I know they have stories, but they are respectful. So what has happened to this type of “visit” between friends? Are we working too much? Are we simply too busy? No time? My grandparents and parents knew the term Parea and lived it. Perhaps it’s because I grew up this way, where on a Sunday afternoon there were bunches of people at our house, that I want more of this. At least it does still exist, and we can all learn about true friendship from these fine folks. So next time you’re in Starbucks around 4 p.m., OK, the secret’s out, stop by and say hi to the gang. Ladies, don’t be frightened, the kindness and compliments are fun to take in. Besides offering up the true definition of old-fashioned friendship, they will make you smile. 14

Home Sweet Home

By Brennan Rego

Dearest readers, Happy Earth Day!

The old adage says, “Home is where the heart is.” In English, the words heart, earth, hearth and herd share phonetic similarities and branch from the same root (from the Old English word eorthe, which is ~ in turn ~ of Germanic origin). Though the specific concepts each of those words define are slightly different, they all circle around the idea of love, home, work and life. The saying could just as easily read “Home is where the herd is” or “Home is where the hearth is” or “Home is where the earth is.” The meaning would change, though the gist would remain the same. Heart (family) is and should be enough for us to feel at home. But, for us to really thrive in life and feel satisfied and happy, earth (land), hearth (house) and herd (job) play key roles in our lives as well and merit careful consideration in our time budget. This week, let’s put some extra time into loving this little blue planet that’s the only home we know; let’s all resolve to do something nice just for Mother Earth. Most of us who reside in the Wood River Valley area treasure a close connection with the earth in one way or another. Some of us stay in tune with nature through agriculture or gardening; some do so through outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, fishing, etc.; many connect through the food we consume; others volunteer for environmental advocacy organizations; a few of us simply look up every so often at the moon and stars and sometimes howl. As a species, humans have personified Idaho’s regions, our great lands. Courtesy graphic via Wikimedia Comthe earth since the dawn of time. The Ancient Greeks called the big mama “Gaia” ~ in their mons stories, she gave birth to the classic pantheon of gods through her union with Uranus (the sky) and birthed the sea-gods through her union with Pontus (the sea). The Ancient Roman equivalent to Gaia is “Terra Mater,” who is commonly depicted with artistic symbols such as bunches of flowers or fruit and often the cornucopia. We have always loved our earth. Idaho’s state flag also boasts a beautiful cornucopia, and for good reason. The Gem State’s earth is as good as it gets: we have seemingly endless acres of gorgeous wilderness, productive farmlands and ranchlands, great small cities and towns, fun resorts, the whole enchilada. To those who clean up their own messes and are responsible stewards of the earth, I say Hip! Hip! Hooray! To those who believe that it’s Mother Earth’s job to clean up their messes for them, I say good grief, get a grip and let’s get real. We’ve got a truly good earth. So, let’s all do our part to keep it great! Thanks for reading and have a hearty, earthy week! Brennan Rego Publisher & Editor

Twin Falls Tackles Sharks BY YANNA LANTZ

BC’s Shark Tank is one of my favorite TV shows. This past Friday, locals Mark Melni and Armand Eckert appeared on the program with their Twin Falls-based company, Melni Connectors. Their patented devices are changing the game in the world of electrical connection technology. According to Melni and Eckert’s pitch, they provide “a faster, safer, ergonomically correct and cost-effective way to transfer power.” For those that don’t know, Shark Tank cultivates budding entrepreneurs; inventors pitch their products and ideas to the Sharks in hopes of getting an investment. The Sharks are a panel of five extremely wealthy investors, including Mark Cuban, billionaire and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, real-estate mogul Barbara Corcoran, and Lori Greiner, the Queen of QVC. Any one Shark or multiple Sharks can invest in a product, if they like it. Byron Dunn, investor, owner of Powerline Magazine and a 30-year lineman veteran, joined Melni and Eckert on Shark Tank. The team’s pitch was confusing to the five Sharks because they didn’t understand the product. Because of this, four Sharks backed out, which is ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, I know hardly anything about electrical connection technology, but the company’s products are applicable for use in the military market, electrical industry, agriculture and commercial, residential and industrial endeavors. That’s a lot of markets and a lot of potential money. Cuban saw the potential. After the other Sharks backed out, he invested $500,000 with an option

to invest $1 million when the company reaches a $15 million valuation. “Let’s go make whatever that is,” Cuban said as he closed the deal. Since the airing, business has been exploding for Melni Connectors. When the episode aired on Friday night, the company’s website attracted a whopping 11,000 visitors, at one point, 2,900 visitors were on the site simultaneously. Big names like Clint Eastwood, Michael Bloomberg and Popular Science all reportedly tweeted about Melni Connectors. If you missed the episode and want to see locals hit it big, check out ABC’s website for Shark Tank. Melni Connectors is featured in season 6, episode 25, about a quarter way in. Congratulations to Twin Falls, Mark Melni, Armand Eckert and Melni Connectors! tws

Hailey Restaurants Get New Looks Restaurant improvements abound in Hailey! Three local restaurants have been hard at work, and two have just re-opened. 103 Main Street is a new business opening its doors to the public in the old McClain’s location at 103 Main. The restaurant features a completely new look and feel, and offers an “Idaho Italian” menu sourced locally. The Powerhouse opened their doors April 17 in their new location

at 502 N. Main. This uniquely Hailey bike shop and brew pub has doubled in size at their new digs, and has bocce ball, an outdoor fire pit, bike shop and a uniquely designed beer bar that mimics the cogs on a bicycle wheel. Dang’s Thai Cuisine begins their new remodel this week, and plans to remain open during construction. They are adding 400 square feet of dining and additional storage in the back of their

turn-of-the-century Main Street cottage. Look for a signature Thai design as their remodel begins at 310 Main, home of Dang’s Thai Cuisine. “Each of these restaurants has Hailey flair, and adds to the great atmosphere of our town,” stated Mayor Fritz Haemmerle. “We appreciate the significant financial investments of these entrepreneurs, and all the other businesses that make Hailey a great town!”

he following words may be sad, but they reflect some very positive thoughts stimulated by the recent death of a dear family member. Like our parents, mates or children, those we love intensely or others we encounter in our lives are also forces in shaping us. My cousin Tom was such a person. He was absolutely the most wonderful father, citizen, role model and friend. I counted him among the three most positive men of my generation I have been lucky to know. One of the other two was Marty, the father of my children, who died just a couple of years ago. Even though we were divorced, we respected each other, and I can still feel his presence in many ways. The third is my lifelong friend’s husband, still with us on this Earth (thank god) to share with me his loyalty, intelligence and sense of humor. He is sufficiently close to me to call me by my childhood nickname. The three shared a JoEllen Collins—a love of baseball and longtime resident its statistics and a of the Wood River silly, devilish urge to Valley—is a teacher, show this off. Even writer, fabric artist, after our divorce, choir member and Marty would call one unabashedly proud or the other with a grandma known as question like, “Who was the shortstop on “Bibi Jo.” the winning team in the ‘53 World Series?” Laughter and rueful comments always followed. When my cousin died a few weeks ago, he was talking about the San Francisco Giants with his son, who has published two books on the fabled team. Then Tom went to sleep, to dream, and in my whimsical hope, to join his buddies for more baseball lore in the afterlife. During the eight years after his initial diagnosis, noting an expectation of maybe a year to live, Tom saw all three of his sons married to sweet and loving women and experienced the blessings of the births of four grandchildren. He continued to lead a vibrant life, volunteering to tutor Oakland middle-schoolers in math, cherishing his friends and family, always searching for answers to the Big Questions, walking daily and even playing online Scrabble with me. He never raised his voice in wrath or bitterness, a characteristic confirmed by his wife, Diane. The last time I saw him, I had a cold so I stayed far away. He blew me kisses from across the room. Tom lived his life the way he wanted to, right up until the end. One legacy of Tom’s was his enthusiasm, along with my cousin Lynn’s, for learning about our family’s genealogy. In the process, even though adopted, I was never considered less than a true Johanson. When Lynn and I recently visited Cypress Lawn Cemetery in Colma, Calif., to check on names and dates in the family plot, I was afraid I would be horribly depressed. Instead, I was flooded with gratitude for the certainty of fully BEING a part of this wonderful, loving family. Some deaths remind us to treasure anew such good fortune. Tom could have left me no better gift. tws

Classics With A Throwback Twist BY MARLIN VALDIVIA AKA DJ DIVA

throwback means “one that has characteristics of an earlier

time.” It seems that the music industry is full of throwbacks these days. If you pay close attention, it’s not just the music industry ~ it’s fashion, film and even what you’re consuming. We have all been that person jamming out to a great tune and then, bam! All of a sudden we realize, “Hey, I’ve heard this song before!” Well, as the saying goes, everybody is doing it. I can understand why, but sometimes in the process of trying to create something new, we can end up with something not so new. Recently, one of the biggest hits of 2013 was hit with a lawsuit. Where would we be if “Blurred Lines,” by Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke, never came to fruition? Frankly, I don’t want to know. As a party

DJ myself, I know the power that this song brought to my set for the last few years, and currently. Don’t lose hope, though, because we have plenty of originality in the music industry, as well ~ for example, “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson (and featuring Bruno Mars). This song has tons of throwback feel but is very much an original. This brings me to believe that we want both in a song ~ great lyrics and great music. I think less is more when it comes to lyrics. If you have a great beat to a song, you have our attention before the first word ~ understandably why many artists these days are digging through the Oldies. A classic serves as the established model or standard, which I guess brings us to agree that imitation truly is the best form of flattery. Just make sure you give credit where credit is due; otherwise, you’re a copycat ~ and nobody wants to be a copycat.

Local Food Patriots To Unite For April 30 Screening

The Local Food Alliance aspires to create a healthy local food system and establish food security in the Wood River Valley. For more information, email spokesperson Stacy Whitman at SWhit24@aol.com.

BY STACY WHITMAN

he state of the American food supply is causing more and more of us to rethink our food choices. GMOs, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and questionable additives, including food dyes and preservatives, can be found in most conventional food products on supermarket shelves. For some people, making the switch to healthy, local and sustainably produced food is an educated decision made to benefit their health, our environment, animal welfare and the local economy. For many others, it’s prompted by a medical diagnosis such as a food allergy, ADHD or autoimmune disease. Still, others want better, safer food for their families but feel like they can’t afford it. The turning point for filmmakers Jeff Spitz and Jennifer Amdur Spitz was when their teenage son got sick eating chicken contaminated with a superbug, and antibiotics failed. In response to this incident, they started growing vegetables and raising chickens. Their humorous and inspiring journey is chronicled in the documentary “Food Patriots,” which will be screened at the Magic Lantern Cinema in Ketchum on Thursday, April 30, at 7 p.m. With our busy lives, many of us rely on quick, convenient food. If giving up all that sounds too daunting, aim for just a 10-percent change, the filmmakers emphasize. After the film, some of the Wood River Valley’s own Food Patriots will discuss how they got started producing their own food. Stick around to swap and celebrate stories of local efforts to become more self-sustaining and resilient. Backyard farming resources will be available. Tickets are $6 in advance and $10 at the door. To purchase, go to FoodPatriotsWoodRiver.Eventbrite.com. 17

movie review

‘Woman In Gold’ Art Theft BY JONATHAN KANE

Sharon Maley, Ketchum encaustic artist, in her studio. Photo by NoCheese Photography

Sharon Maley, Ketchum Artist BY SUZANNE HAZLETT

haron Maley describes her lush encaustic paintings as mostly abstract, orderly, textural and colorful. She creates her paintings with encaustic ~ molten beeswax combined with crystalline tree resin ~ while occasionally combining other media. With her layering process, Maley strives to develop a sense of mystery so the markings and media applied in the early stages are only slightly revealed at the completion of each piece. While living in California 13 years ago, Maley discovered and became influenced by abstract and figurative oil painter, Melinda Cootsana, subscribing to classes Cootsana taught at the time. In short order, Maley began participating in Silicon Valley Open Studios events and became exposed to the encaustic medium. Having gratefully acquired her studio techniques from generous instructors, Maley currently offers workshops. She finds encouraging creativity in others to be the most rewarding aspect of her art. “For me, it surpasses any other achievement as an artist because I am making an impact in someone else’s life,” she said. “I derive great satisfaction from seeing my students achieve success, take risks and build self-confidence, all while having a great time.”

Maley provided some insight into the physical process of her artmaking. “I usually initiate my process with a specific color in mind and a basic concept of design, but beyond that, it’s fairly spontaneous,” she said. “Working in encaustic can be very experimental and I incorporate virtually every medium that I have worked with in the past. Any given piece may include the use of watercolors, acrylics, oils, pastels, plaster, pencil collage, etc.” A day in the studio can be quite varied. Some days Maley will break out the power tools and put her carpentry skills to work building wood supports. Other days are spent prepping these wood panels. Her most enjoyable days involve melting and applying the wax to the surface and “letting the magic happen.” Maley credits the art galleries located in the Sun Valley community as an important source of artistic inspiration. “While the Internet provides vast visual resources,” she said, “there is no replacement for seeing the subtle details of a painting in person that could never be captured in a photograph. By viewing original art, I learn what is possible.” Sharon Maley will welcome visitors to her studio during the third annual Wood River Valley Studio Tour, August 22-23, 2015. For more information, visit www. wrvstudiotour.org.

JON rated this movie lthough conventional in nature and form, the new movie, “Woman In Gold,” scores big as a true story about the Nazis’ theft from Austrian Jews of a painting, considered to be Austria’s Mona Lisa. That painting, titled “The Lady In Gold,” by Gustav Klimt, was the subject of a decade of legal maneuverings that eventually found its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. This resulted in the painting being awarded to the subject’s niece, Maria Altmann, who escaped Nazi occupation in 1938 as a young bride and lived out her life in Los Angeles. The amazing Helen Mirren plays Maria Altmann beautifully. The movie is also about the story of Altmann’s young, green attorney, Randy Schoenberg, who was the grandson of the great Austrian composer, Arnold Schoenberg. Ryan Reynolds plays Schoenberg expertly. Now hanging in New York City, the portrait of Altmann’s aunt, Adele Bloch-Bauer, was ensconced in Austria’s national gallery at Belvedere Palace, where it was considered to Jonathan Kane is a graduate of the University of Michigan. Courtesy photo be Austria’s greatest treasure. Among many things, one of the stories that the movie tells is how hard the Austrian government and art officials fought to deny the ownership of these treasures to their rightful heirs. When Altmann begins her quest, in 1999, it is partly because the Austrians are beginning to soften their stance. But as we see in the film, it is mostly show without substance. The director, Simon Curtis, also uses flashbacks very effectively to depict 1938 Austria, when the Nazis took over and confiscated Jewish property with impunity. The devastation of people’s lives is vivid and extremely powerful. Because it’s a true story, the movie packs a power and immediacy that it would otherwise not have and makes it a compelling two hours at the theater.

photo report

‘A Whole Lotta Bull’ Top left: Humming Bull co-emcee and co-organizer Matt Gershater opens the final round of Idaho BaseCamp’s Humming Bull storytelling competition series on Thursday at Whiskey Jacques’ in Ketchum. Gershater chose “a whole lotta bull” as the theme for the competition’s grand finale.

Bottom left: Co-emcee and co-organizer Whitney McNees, Gershater’s wife, ensured that the competition ran smoothly and recounted several mesmerizing tales. During one memorable moment, McNees said, “Stories are medicine.” For more information on Basecamp’s mission of connecting people to nature, community and themselves, or to learn more about the nonprofit’s events, visit www.idahobasecamp.org.

Top right: Meredith Richardson placed second in the Bull. She captivated the audience with her awesome costume and a story about a cowboy who helps a cow give birth, only to lose his prized silver ring during the process.

Bottom right: Audience members voted Ryan Clapp as the competition’s ultimate champion. His natural knack for spinning yarns won him a 50,000-mile round trip to anywhere. Above, Clapp is shown in Spain running from a lot more bull than he may have bargained for. “Telling stories is one of the oldest ways we have to share knowledge and friendship, whether it's around a fire or in a bar,” Clapp said after the event. “It can feel like a lost art, stories that mean something, and really listening, instead of just waiting for our turn to speak. I feel lucky to live in a community that will come out for an event like this, all ages. These flight miles I won mean a visit back to my family in Connecticut, which wouldn't have happened otherwise. And, being able to get there on the power of a story ~ it’s pretty incredible."
