Backcountry Film Festival
By Karen BoSSicK
First-time filmmaker Drew Stoecklein of Sun Valley got an opportunity to ski Patagonia.
And he took the ride.He and three other filmmak-
ers turned their adventure into a three-minute film enabling others to “Take the Ride.”
That film and more will be part of the ninth annual Backcountry Film Festival being held this Saturday, Jan. 4 at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum.
Doors open at 6 p.m. for the-atergoers to buy beer, snacks and raffle tickets good for Sun Valley lift tickets, a Nordic ski pass, Sun Valley Trekking yurt trip, avalanche course and more.
The film festival, designed to celebrate human-powered outdoor fun, is being presented by the Idaho Conservation League and Winter Wildlands Alliance.
Proceeds will benefit the Idaho Conservation League.
The films include “Valhalla,” which follows one man as he tries to rediscover the freedom of his youth, finding it in backcountry ski and snowboard adventure. “Trail Break” from Powderwhore is a black-and-white portrait of deep-powder skiing.
“Nokhoi Zeekh” follows five Amer-icans on a month-long ski expedition through northern Mongolia to docu-ment wolverines. “Strong” captures Roger Strong’s reflections about mov-ing forward after a tragic avalanche.
“Poor Man’s Heli” features a new and unique way to the top of the mountain. “Youth” inspires us to pack up the kids for backcountry ski-ing. And “Morning Rituals” features a day in the life of an undercover ski bum.
Tickets are $10.

The Wood River High School Band students are con-ducting their fifth annual
Christmas Tree Pickup through-out the Wood River Valley on Saturday, Jan. 4.
For a donation of $10 ($20 if your tree is over 8 feet) the stu-dents will pick up your tree and take it to be recycled. This fund-raiser helps the students raise money for their trip next April to Anaheim, Calif. Each student must individually raise $480 to pay for their trip. They will travel by bus to compete in the Nation-al Heritage Music Festival and Competition. The WRHS Band has been to Anaheim four times under Director Tony Randall’s guidance.
Please call (208) 481-0389 any time to be added to their tree pick-up list.

Not Just an Actor’s WifeCarol Glenn Potter,
Painter, Pens Coffee Table Book
Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK
Carol Glenn calls herself “the reluctant celebrity.” She’s spent more than 40 years
in her husband’s shadow as Scott Glenn leant his craggy persona to such movies as “Urban Cowboy,” “Silverado,” “The Right Stuff,” “The Hunt for Red October,” “The Silence of the Lambs” and “Training Day.”
Now, she’s garnering her share of the spotlight as Carol Glenn—artist and author.
Glenn debuted a public showing of her pottery at Ochi Gallery last year. This week she finished two Ketchum book signings for her new coffee table book, “Carol Glenn,” which showcases her pottery, along with stories related to her work.
She’ll have a showing and signing in Los Angeles’ gallery district this spring.
“Most people don’t even know I’m an artist,” she says. “Even now, I’d rather Scott was in the spotlight.”
Carol Schwartz Glenn has coupled her rigid upbringing in an orthodox Jewish home with her fascination with a free-spirited Woodstock artist to create art that combines the rigid rules of firing clay with artistic license.
Her father’s family owned a sweater factory in New York. Her mother’s family boasted a long line of rabbis—hence, TV, the telephone, even cooking dinner was off-limits between sundown on Friday and sundown on Saturday.
But she always had a penchant for art. “My brother is a Rembrandt scholar,
and we have a lot of artists in our family,” says Carol, who even took a millinery class in high school.
Rather than work in the family sweater factory, Carol modeled for 10 years. Vidal Sassoon was among her clients.
“You’ve got to be tough because you’ve got to carry this big portfolio around New York City. They go through it and either they say, ‘We love you,’ or ‘Thank you very much,’ ” she recalls, pretending to hand the imaginary portfolio back.
Carol met Scott while he was in the-ater. They married in 1968 and moved into a loft on Park Avenue. Once a week, they’d pile into a friend’s car and drive into the country. It was on one of those trips that Carol spotted Woodstock ce-ramicist Elena Zang
“It was the first time I’d seen anybody throw a pot, and I was fascinated by her
long, long hair and the way she worked bare-breasted at the wheel,” Carol recalls. “I thought: Now that I’m married I don’t have to work anywhere. I can do some-thing I want to do. And I loved pottery.”
Stoking the fireIt was her quest to make pottery that
brought Carol to Ketchum in the 1970s for a five-week workshop offered by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. Ceram-icist Jim Romberg, who headed up the program, brought in the best potters in the country, including Tom Coleman, John Glick and Kurt Weiser.
“They’d work in front of us and we’d sit there, amazed,” Carol recalls, her expressive face lighting up and her
carol glenn says she doesn’t think her ski helmet is going to fit, anymore—not after reading the words that artistic director Kristin Poole wrote about her in her book, “carol glenn.”
her favorite Glenn filmAsked her favorite movie starring
hubby Scott Glenn, Carol Glenn quickly launched into a description of his next movie “Trigger.” A murder mystery, it involves a serial killer.
“ ‘Trigger’ refers to what sets him off, not a gun,” Carol explained.
She switched gears. “I loved ‘Silvera-do’—he’s such a sweet guy in that—he wasn’t a bad guy in that one.”
“We’ve always had fun with the filming,” she added. “Like with ‘Sucker Punch,’ which he filmed in Canada. We had such a great time traveling to the site, meeting people. I take along a portable watercolor studio—as long as I can work on my paintings, my collages, I do just fine.”coNtiNued, pAge 13

Tying the Knot on Baldy
By Karen BoSSicK
The bouquets, mounted on the handles of her ski poles, matched the bride’s
ski bindings.The groom, meanwhile, traded
his snowboard helmet for a top hat.
Former Community School teacher Laura Kennedy shared marriage vows with Terry Gale at the Roundhouse on Bald Mountain Saturday.
It was three years to the day the couple met at a cocktail par-ty in the Wood River Valley.
After six months of long-dis-tance dating, Kennedy moved to
Pasadena to be with Gale. She is teaching at a private school there.
“Our first date was skiing on an epic powder day. We return every year to Sun Valley, so we decided this was the ideal place to get married,” said Kennedy.
The couple skied Saturday morning, then tied the knot at noon in a ceremony officiated by
Shannon Finnegan—Kennedy’s college roommate.
They and eight of their family and friends had a lunch at the Roundhouse afterwards, then took another run as fellow skiers gawked at the snowboarding groom and bride in her white ski outfit, wedding dress-like tutu and helmet veil.

It appears that those yel-low mattresses around the chairlift poles do more than
protect poles from errant skiers who might bash into them!
Sun Valley ski patrollers used a safety pad to break the fall of an 8-year-old boy who fell from the Christmas chairlift on Sunday.
A ski patroller said the boy appeared to have slid off the chair and managed to cling to it
for about five minutes.A ski patroller saw him
dangling over the cat track at the bottom of the chairlift and called for the lift to stop. He and a couple other patrollers quickly unhooked a safety pad from a nearby tower and held it under the boy to break his fall.
The boy appeared to fall near-ly 40 feet.
The adventure didn’t appear to faze the boy. He was up and skiing again on Monday.

We’re the perfect alterna-tive to Colorado’s ritzy resorts. Yet we can ride
the lifts with swanky Hollywood-sters in a refined and pretty place, sans fast-food joints and condo sprawl.
That’s what Lonely Planet said when it named Sun Valley one of the top 10 places you should visit in 2014. The article appeared on huffingtonpost.com.
Sun Valley came in at No. 9, thanks to its abundant camping, hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, cultural events, great food, world-class skiing and Er-nest Hemingway’s deep affection for the resort. Notably absent: crowds and lift lines, the article said.
“The stunning location is as impressive as the snow and nearby Ketchum retains its authenticity and rustic beauty despite the seasonal deluges,” the article continued. A bit fur-ther on, Stanley—which might be the most scenic town in the U.S.—is nestled in the crook of the Salmon River, thus a perfect launch site for killer rafting with the aptly named Sawtooth Mountains providing a dramatic backdrop.”
Others on the top 10 list: Grand Rapids, Mich., named the best beer city in the U.S.,
and Lake Michigan’s Gold Coast, which sports 300 miles of sugar-white beaches that some say rival Hawaii’s and Southern California’s. Yosemite National Park, of course. Boston, Mass., which sports Bell in Hand Tav-ern, the oldest tavern in the U.S.
Also, the central California coast, or Highway 1, with its sea lion colonies, Hearst Castle and Big Sur. The Jersey Shore, which is still rebuilding from Hur-ricane Sandy and the Seaside Heights boardwalk fire. Kansas City, Mo., which has more than 200 fountains—on par with Rome—and more than 100 downright tasty barbecue joints.
Lastly, Cumberland Island, Ga., which houses the Carnegies’ Dungeness mansion among its windswept dunes, mossy old oaks, and maritime forest. Las Vegas, which features indoor skydiving when you’re tired of pulling the one-armed bandits, and the world’s tallest observa-tion wheel slated to open in mid-2014. And Lanai, Hawaii, the smallest of the Hawaiian Islands and famous for its candy-colored, plantation-style homes, red dirt roads and otherworldly rock formations.

Story & PHoto By Bali SZaBo
We made our way on the snow-crusted
medial moraine, survived the faux emergencies, and arrived in camp. The tents were already lined up--the dining room table, its floral-pattern plastic tablecloth, and 14 rattan stools waiting for takers. These were our creature comforts. For sever-al days now dining tents were a thing of the past. This domestic arrangement looked amusingly naked in this barren, glacial expanse. The table, dwarfed by the immensity of the elements, resembled the toy furniture of a doll’s house. Willie and Andy, always looking for something to do once in camp, took off for a nearby snow slope to do some sledding, using ponchos as sleds. It looked near, but as they moved up for their first and last ride, they were just small dark figures no larger than a thumbnail. Their attempt at recreation was great comic relief, as they repeatedly failed to catch a ride. The sun dropped behind the peaks and the temperature plunged. Regardless of how well dressed or overdressed we were, it was cold just standing around. Our extremities were numbing, so we retreated to our tents which felt warmer psychological-ly, and waited for the call to tea.
My voice was gone. My chapped lips felt twice their size. The cough was incessant. Final-ly, I decided to go pay the doc an office visit. He diagnosed my condition as viral bronchitis, and I had a choice of remedies. It was either a sleeping pill or codeine. The latter was a cough suppres-sant. It would save energy and let my neighbors sleep better. I may have smoked pot, but I
didn’t like drugs, and had never taken a strong cough syrup. I was one of those young people who wouldn’t want to pay into the Affordable Care Act. I never got sick. Hmm. How about the knee sur-gery two years later, at age 33, because my knees tuckered out from an
over-active lifestyle? The young have their illusions, like invul-nerability and immortality, as if life’s taxes do not apply to them. This environment definitely put us in our place, yet traces of ‘not me’ remained in some of us, and it would show later on this trip. After tea, we ran back to the tents, and ran out again when the Sherpas signaled dinner. We weren’t the only ones running. They ferried the food on the run. By the time I got my plate full of pasta, veggies and meat, it was just lukewarm.
The hot soup cheered us up. We rediscovered our sun-warmed elation of early afternoon. We forgot about the cold and began to converse with abandon, cast-ing aside the armor of reserve imposed by the cold. Out came some Kukri rum, and some broke into song, giddy from our success. We made it, and we needed to let off some steam. Two hours ago, when it was a lot warmer, we were shivering and stoic. This was a sigh of relief, a culmination of weeks of work and who knows how many years of dreaming. Here we were, in this large, pristine amphitheater, specks amid the blue and white, singing oldies into the night. From a distance the toy table and its occupants looked like humans adrift in the universe.

“Green” New Year’s Resolutions
You Might Be Able To Keep
Every year we go through the same challenges of trying to keep New
Year’s resolutions. Whether we resolve to work out more, eat fewer sweets, get our finances in order, or floss daily, many New Year’s resolutions seem to inevitably fail. Here are five easy “green” resolutions that are both good for you and good for the environment:
Try one new organic food – organic foods use fewer pesti-cides to produce, making them better for your diet and for the environment.
Line dry your sheets and tow-els – by air drying some of your laundry, you can reduce your household energy consumption, which will save you money!
Try public transportation one day a month – public transpor-tation cuts down commuter fuel consumption, meaning that you have to fill up your gas tank less often, which will also save you money! Check out http://www.mountainrides.org/ to find out the Mountain Rides bus schedule.
Change one light bulb – switch to an energy-saving LED or compact fluorescent bulb to reduce your household energy consumption (and your monthly electric bill). Drop off your used CFL light bulbs at the ERC or Hailey City Hall for disposal.
Get one reusable bag – reduce the amount of plastic bags being consumed by bringing your own reusable bag when shopping. To get rid of plastic bags already cluttering your home, you can drop them off at the ERC (plus Atkinsons’, Albertsons, King’s and L.L. Green Hardware) to be recycled.
Post your own green reso-lutions to Facebook ERC Sun Valley to inspire the rest of us.

GET WELL SooN
By margot Van Horn
Just a very quick recipe for those of you (who, like I am) are suffering from this
lingering and nasty cold virus. Here is something to help the sinuses, throat and chest con-gestion and also your attitude. As always, a little indulgence is good but not too much.
The Baldy Get-Well Hot Toddy
Makes 2 servings
IngredientsJuice of 1 lemon2 tablespoons honey3 ounces honey whiskey2 bags black tea2 cinnamon sticks12 whole cloves2 lemon slices
InstructionsBring a kettle of water to a
boil. In two mugs appropriate for this toddy, add the lemon juice, honey, honey whiskey, tea bags and cinnamon. Pour the hot water over these ingredients and steep the tea for a few minutes.
To garnish, stick a few cloves (pointy ends in) through a slice of lemon. Float a clove-studded lemon in each mug and serve.
Hint: I believe that our liquor stores now have some of those specially priced airline bottles of honey whiskey or something like that at a very reasonable price—in case you don’t feel like spending the money for a whole bottle.

Okay... all right now... get ready... this is it... it’s time for yet another year in
your life. What are your plans? How will this year be different? How will you make it better? What changes will you make to ensure a better life?
I believe a better life starts with the reduction of stress and pressure in your everyday activities. Stress and worry begins in the morning when you have to get it together so that you can arrive at work on time. Punctuality should be elimi-nated in the Wood River Valley. It’s detrimental to your health. The town of Ketchum has been on the right track for years. “Ketchum Time” generally means arriving 10 to 15 minutes late to anyplace you’re supposed to be. I propose to extend that practice to 45 minutes to an hour; thus, forget about rushing to work every morning in rush-hour traffic. Take your time, ease on down the road and coast into your work station about an hour late. After eight hours, or about sixish, log out and cruise home without joining the 5 p.m. traffic jam. Work it out with your boss and prove to him how much more efficient you have become because you have eliminated the pressure of being on time.
While you’re at it, keep all medical and dental appoint-
ments loose, and never make any commitment to show up at a party or an event when you’re requested to arrive. Stress goes out the window as the minutes tick away.
Make sure to make time to do what you love to do each day. If possible, devote two hours in the afternoon to a sound, welcome nap. Don’t be a slave to your phone. Screen your calls and take only the ones which give you delight.
Fill your home with the music that you love. Eat what you want in small portions. Laugh until your sides ache. Pay your bills when you have the money – don’t borrow money to pay your debts. Only watch television programs that have no advertising or sponsors. Plan ahead and avoid confrontations. Be kind to your neighbors as they are your first line of defense.
Be pleasant, eradicate guilt and worry and take long walks each day. Pay your taxes, face your problems and maintain a positive outlook on life. Pay it forward by doing favors for people you care about before they need them.
Enjoy your family, cher-ish your friends, purify your thoughts and sleep eight to 10 hours a night. Watch your life improve as the pressures of life fade into the mist.
Nice talking to you and Happy New Year.

Pressure Point by Dick Couch, Hardback: 287 pages
(also out in paperback and eBook by Pocket Books,
427 pages), © 1992
I have always had a yen to write a decent short
story, so when the College of Southern Idaho offered three classes worth of writing workshops conducted by Dick Couch at The Com-munity Library in Ketchum in De-cember of 2013 for such a reasonable price, I just had to take advantage of the offer. The classes were very instructional and wonderfully conducted. However, I had never read one of Dick Couch’s books, so I got this one fast from The Community Library and read it between the first and second class. Actually, I read it in one day because I couldn’t put it down. So I just had to write a Read It column on this book.
What I really liked about this story was that it took place in spots that I was well acquaint-ed with, that it taught me a lot about the Navy SEALs, of which Dick was one, and that the plot was so full of suspense that even though I knew what the outcome would be, I couldn’t let go of the book. Luckily, the high for the day I read it was 2 degrees Fahr-enheit with clouds overhead so it was nice to be sequestered in a comfy chair, toy poodle Hugo on lap and book in hand.
This story is really still quite up to date in spite of its debut in 1992 except for a couple of facts that have changed; you really wonder if this could still actually happen. Dick’s personal back-ground takes place as a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and
he has served as a Navy SEAL and as a maritime opera-tions CIA case offi-cer. He is a retired naval officer. He has written seven novels and eight nonfiction works as well. He is presently “one of our own” and loves to downhill. His sto-ries are in the genre of Tom Clancy—the kind that keep you on the edge of your
chair. With Dick’s own personal and background experience, plus his writing skill, you don’t doubt that what he says has a great deal of validity to it.
The story has to do with the theft of a Trident submarine (armed with atomic goodies) by a very smart Arab patriot. It all takes place in the vicinity of Seattle where Dick Couch used to live and, of course, the SEALs are the heroes of the tale. Joe Weber in The New York Times had this to say about Dick’s novel: “A riveting adventure in the classic style... heart-stopping action.” I would totally agree. So, for all of you action seekers out there, women and men, don’t miss out on this fun read. Also, look for Dick’s very latest book, “An Act of Revenge,” out early next year. I can’t wait to read it.

Johnson Riding HighBy Karen BoSSicK
Former Wood River High School standout Samantha Johnson helped Concordia
University capture the school’s first soccer national champion-ship just a couple of weeks ago.
Johnson, who is enjoying the Christmas holidays back home in the Wood River Valley with her parents Mark and Ann Johnson, says friends and family in the Wood River Valley had her back all the way.
“I grew up with a lot of won-derful supporters—people who were around teaching me to be better. And I felt like they were there right alongside me during my whole college experience,” she said.
Johnson, a 5-foot-7 senior, was a key member of the No. 4-seed-ed Concordia, Ore., Cavaliers defense that blanked the No. 2-seeded Westmont College team from California 1-0 in the cham-pionship game in Alabama.
With Johnson on the back line, Concordia outscored its postsea-son opponents 15 to 1 enroute to a 22-1-1 overall record that featured a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NA-IA)-leading 18 shutouts.
It was their 18th consecutive win.
Johnson was not only selected to the national championship All-Tournament team following the title match but was one of two Cavaliers named as first-team NAIA All-American. She was named to the 2013 NAIA Women’s Soccer National Cham-pionship All-Tournament team. She was also named a 2013 All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
“That’s one of the highest awards an athlete can achieve,” said Johnson. “It means you’re one of the best collegiate players in the country.”
Johnson, who transferred to Concordia after two years at Walla Walla Community College, led the team in minutes played this season, starting all 24 games as she racked up 1,992 minutes of playing time.
She played all but four min-utes in the five Concordia tour-nament wins. And she played 1,006 minutes for Concordia
during the 2012 season as her team posted 13 shutouts before losing in the NAIA tournament quarterfinals.
“Sam’s leadership and high level of play were a critical factor in our team capturing the na-tional championship,” said coach Grant Landy. “From day one this year, she was on a mission to help lead our team back to the national championship.”
In fact, Johnson—a team captain—used a book that Ron Von Hagen had given her—bas-ketball player and coach John Wooden’s “Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off the Court” to inspire her teammates.
She followed that up with “Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success: Building Blocks for a Better Life,” which consists of 32 daily readings.
“My teammates and I would hold hands and I’d read a pas-sage and every girl would voice a goal that she wanted to work on during the game. Then we all did the best we could to help each other reach those goals,” said Johnson.
“By the end, there was no room for doubt—we knew we were going to win.”
Johnson played four seasons at Wood River High School from 2005 through 2008, graduating as the No. 6 all-time leading scorer. She was named team MVP as a junior and senior. The Wolverines set an 18-2-1 season record with 131 goals scored in her senior year. They won the State 4A consolation champi-onship in her junior and senior years.
Johnson also won back-to-back NWAACC championships while at Walla Walla. The community college never lost a regular-sea-son game while she was with them. She was named to the NWAACC All-Star team after both seasons.
Johnson singles out a num-ber of people in the Wood River Valley for her success.
Among them: John Koth, a sports physical therapist who she says was there by her side and her high school team’s side helping her overcome a myriad of injuries.
She describes Steve Reynolds as her No. 1 fan—always making
sure she was keeping up on soccer.
And she applauds her mother Ann Johnson, who drove her to Boise four times a week during high school to play with the elite Les Bois Soccer Association.
“Four times a week she drove me there, pushing me out of the car when I didn’t want to go,” Johnson recalled.
Johnson said the game with Westmont that determined the NAIA women’s soccer tourna-ment championship was the most brutal she’d ever played.
“We had played them to a 0-0 tie earlier in the season. In the championship game, they had 19 fouls and we had 10. But it was an incredible feeling when we won. This was one of those spe-cial teams—we were so tight.”
Johnson will graduate in fall 2014 with a degree in exercise sports science. She is considering going on for more schooling to delve into sports psychology.
In the meantime, she plans to go to Seattle this summer where she will participate in combines. She also plans to try out for the Portland Thorns, an American professional women’s soccer team, and the Seattle Reign. The teams began play in 2013 in the new eight-team National Women’s Soccer League.
Whatever direction her life takes her, she’s happy know-ing she’s already achieved an awesome amount of success: “It’s been an overall incredible journey and experience.”
Soccer Player Sounds Alarm on ConcussionsBy Karen BoSSicK
While Sam Johnson was riding on top of the soccer world, another
soccer standout with ties to Sun Valley was making her mark on the opinion-editorial pages of USA Today.
Sun Valley residents Bill and Jeanne Cassell have racked up plenty of frequent flyer air miles over the past umpteen years flying around the country watching their granddaughter Anna Cassell and her siblings play soccer.
But Anna, a junior pre-med student, was recently forced to give up her collegiate soccer career as a goalkeeper at North-western University because of concussions.
Anna Cassell, who has spent many a summer and Christmas holiday in Sun Valley visiting her grandparents, wrote a piece for USA Today to draw attention to the fact that the dangers of concussions extend beyond the National Football League.
“Two summers ago, as my collegiate soccer career was beginning at Northwestern University, I had the privilege of playing against two of the best goalkeepers in the country, Molly Poletto and Emily Oliver. By any reckoning, we were three of the most fearless and hard-working goalkeepers around,
and we all had spent time playing for the U.S. Youth National Team. Yet, all three of us have been knocked out of the game by multiple concussions suffered while playing college soccer,” she wrote.
Cassell said she suffered her first con-cussion after getting kneed in the head. The next year she was kicked and elbowed in the head in back-to-back games. She suffered her third concussion last January during training.
“According to the American Academy of Neurology, women playing college soccer suffer 1.8 concussions per 1,000 games — more than the combined rates of women in basketball and soft-ball, the other sports studied,” Cassell continued. “What’s more, female college soccer players suf-fer concussions more often than high school football players (1.55 concussions per 1,000 games). And I suspect that the risk for goalkeepers specifically is much higher.”
Cassell said she suffered severe headaches, anxiety, de-pression and balance problems, which led to her falling behind in her pre-med studies.
“As I think about this sad trend, I am struck by two things.
The first is the lack of con-vincing research regard-ing concussion prevention. Given the prevalence of concussions in youth and collegiate sports, espe-cially women’s soccer, I firmly believe we need to make concussion preven-tion a priority in sports research,” she wrote.
Cassell noted that women’s soccer has made
great strides in implementing prevention programs for ACL tears.
“I see no reason why we can’t do something similar for concussions by investigating the benefits of neck strengthen-ing exercises to help stabilize the head when a player makes contact with an opposing player, ball or goal post,” she said.
“I am also bothered by the lack of consequences for the opposing players who commit fouls that cause concussions. While referees are instructed to “protect the goalkeeper,” neither of the players who gave me my concussions had any sort of meaningful consequences, despite the fact that both were flagrant fouls where neither of them made any contact with the ball. While their team merely lost possession of the ball, I was losing my soccer career.”

GiRLS STiLL RoCKtwo and a half bees
By JonatHan Kane
Unfortunately, I am not the intended audience for the new blockbuster
The Hunger Games: Catch-ing Fire. Nor have I read the blockbuster trilogy of novels by Suzanne Collins that launched the cultural phenomenon of Katniss Everdeen. But I did see and enjoy the first installment of what will be a four-film cycle and I’d have to say that I enjoyed this one. But to the teenagers I spoke to, especially the girls, the movie totally rocked and was extremely faithful to the novel. So I guess, in a nutshell, that’s all you really need to know.
Being the middle section, the story suffers from its position. Its role is to reflect on the first installment and to set up the final installment. Once again we are in the nation of Panem, a shell of North America, and its 12 districts. At the heart of the nation is the decadent capitol (can anyone say Rome?) and its citizenry, being led to distraction by a yearly Hunger Games that pits teenagers from the outlying districts to a Survivor-like duel to the death. But in Catching Fire there is revolution brew-ing in the hinterlands and its leader appears to be Everdeen (a sensational Jennifer Lawrence). Donald Sutherland returns as the evil king of the empire, and to subject the masses and to eliminate Lawrence, concocts a super-Hunger Games for the nation’s 75th anniversary that will pit past winners against each other. Of course, this is where the action starts after a long buildup. Lawrence and her partner from the first movie, Josh Hutcherson, must battle fog, monkeys and other assorted foes to win the crown. Like the serials of the 1930s, the story leaves you hanging but not for long. Fear not, The Hunger Games will return next year.
Tops of the PopsBy Jamie canField, Program director, KSKi-Fm/KyZK-Fm
2013 was a great year for music; 2014 promises to be stellar as well, with
highly anticipated new albums on the way from U2, Band of Horses, Kaiser Chiefs and a whole lot more. My favorites of 2013 are numerous, but I’ll try to boil them down to a few of note. My top world music album was Rokia Traoré’s Beautiful Africa, an amazing collection of songs from this Mailian song-stress. If indie-pop is more your thing, Michael Benjamin Lerner has put another album out under his moniker Telekinesis; Dormarion is a dozen songs of greatness. On the more rockin’ side, Queens of the Stone Age’s ...Like Clockwork might be just what you’re looking for if you like guitar rock with sly wink of intelligence. The Postal Service’s 10th anniversary reissue of Give Up has a bonus disc of new songs, remixes and covers. Pearl Jam’s Lightning Bolt is exactly what you would expect from Pearl Jam; brooding and exquisite. King Krule’s debut 6 Feet Beneath The Moon is a fine mix of electronica and subdued indie-pop and promises a bright future for Londoner Achy Marshall. But as far as debuts go, L.A.’s Haim is near the top of the list; their roots lie deep in the L.A. rock and pop world, and Days Gone By proves they’re headed for great things. Topping the list for the year is Eminem’s The Marshal Mathers LP2; he’s never sounded better (or angrier). Music from 2013 was great--I’m looking forward to 2014.

devon Sherrerd began competing at the age of nine. Sherrerd’s affinity for hors-es doesn’t stop at competition, she also volunteers at Swiftsure ranch in Bellev-ue, which specializes in therapeutic riding. courteSy PHoto
By JonatHan Kane
Devon Sherrerd, a Com-munity School senior carrying a 4.06 grade
point average, was born to ride. Horses – that is. That’s prob-ably because she first saddled up when she was two years old. “My mother had always ridden and she wanted me to also. My first horse was a Shetland pony named Princess. We lived in Fairfield then and my earliest memories are of taking care of her and hiking with her in the mountains. We lived near a preserve so there were a lot of great trail rides. Even at a young age I was never afraid except the one time she ran away and galloped home. I was a little nervous to get back on after that incident. When I was about 11 we gave Princess to a family in Boise where she lives in an apple orchard.” Today, Sherrerd competes regularly in hunter-jumper events. “I love horses and they are the passion in my life. I also love the commit-ment that it takes. It’s not just a one- or two-hour thing because it’s a constant responsibility. You don’t achieve a level and stop – you have to keep work-ing on your skills. In jumping, you have to make sure that the horse looks as good as you, and to have a great bond you really have to work hard. Like a team sport, you have two athletes and they sometimes don’t agree. When it works, you know and feel what they’ll do before they actually do it. It’s a lot different than having a dog because they are an athletic partner and you take care of them and they are completely vulnerable to many things. They’re a big animal and they have so much personality and they become so bonded to you. When they recognize you, it’s really an incredible thing.”
Sherrerd first began compet-ing at the age of nine by riding a different pony “and I haven’t stopped riding since.” Her first show was in Elko, Nevada. “I was nervous my first day be-
cause I had never showed before but my pony was a rock-star champion and we finished first in the 2-foot division. I felt so great and that success made me want to do more.” Because of school, it’s been hard for Sherrerd to compete year-round but that will change because she has been accepted to Florida State University and plans to join the riding team there. “This January I’ll be going to Palm Springs for a three-week show, so I’m pretty excited. Otherwise, I compete in three or four shows every summer.”
When she can, Sherrerd volunteers at Swiftsure Ranch in Bellevue, which specializes in therapeutic riding for hand-icapped students. Clients don’t have to pay to have access to horseback riding. “I’ve seen some real miracles happen with some clients. My first memory was amazing. It was a young man about 18 who was completely paralyzed in a car wreck. All he could do was blink his eyes but he reached out and touched my horse’s face and rested his hand there. It’s hard to know the pow-er between horses and humans. It’s just an incredible thing.”

Young Entrepreneurs, Artists Honored at Coffee GrinderStory & PHotoS By Karen BoSSSicK
Sean Petersen’s entire life changed after a climbing accident in 2012 left him in a temporary coma.
He suffered a partial hearing loss in one ear, which caused balance problems. And he had trouble linking turns on the ski slopes or staying upright in his kayak.
He kept persisting to regain his coordi-nation, though, skiing during winter and rolling his kayak during summer.
One of his biggest allies in his fight was woodworking, which helped him regain his motor skills and served as a source of comfort, as he turned bowls on a lathe.
Petersen is showing the results of that woodworking—handcrafted bowls up to 22 inches in diameter--at The Coffee Grinder, 4th and Leadville streets in Ketchum.
He culled the handcrafted bowls from aspen collected near Stanley and Douglas fir and silver poplar he found out Warm Springs Road. He’s also showing more artsy bowls created from myrtlewood, black locust and pine burls that he has created to hold things like sunglasses.
“My brain said I needed something like this to do,” said Petersen who also has The Pink Chef catering business.
Petersen was among a handful of artisans honored last week as coffee shop owner Nikki Potts staged a reception for “Emerging Artisans & Entrepreneurs.”
“The purpose of this event is to cele-
brate the emergence of talented people, motivated by passion, to make art and business,” said Potts, whose own motto is “Real Coffee, Real Community, Real Purpose.”
“These are the real celebrities, in my mind. They are the people that bring the much-desired vitality to our community. And, armed with passion and determina-tion, they create things that give us joy and awe,” she added.
Others featured, in addition to Peters-en, included freelance photographer Matt Leidecker, who is showing new panora-mas of local mountain ranges. The one of the Sawtooths points out little-known features like Huckleberry Wall and Rot-ten Monolith, in addition to better-known features like Mount Cramer and McDon-ald Peak.
Steve Bonora, who once saved trees as a wildland firefighter, now makes cutting boards and wood bottle openers from the trees he used to protect.
He showed off his handmade hardwood spatulas he has sold at the Ketchum Farmers’ Market. They use a variety of woods for a variety of colors, he point-ed out. Mahogany, for instance, gives a copper color; Brazilian Purple Heart, a purple/red color; walnut, black; and maple, blond.
Shannon Avery was touting her Luce Mi (or “My Light”), Bring Jing, Feliz Release and Grub Scrub essential oils. She launched them a few days later at
Ketchum Bed & Bath, along with aloe and shea body gels, hand coconut sugar scrubs, walnut body polish, papaya-pina masque and immunity room sprays.
Also honored were Caleb Baukol, who makes custom-designed boutique alpine and Nordic skis; Tom Teitge, known for his out-of-the-box sculptures that some-times looks like something Leonardo da Vinci would come up with; and 11-year-old Sage Curtis, who contributed a ginger-bread house she had built.
Barbara Young and Heinz Schlosser of The Catering Company were among those who paid homage to the entrepreneurs.
Young, an emerging caterer herself 40 years ago, said she has catered for presi-dents and movie stars in the valley. Doing schnitzel for Arnold’s Christmas party
comes easy, she said. A seven-course Jap-anese affair proved a little more difficult for Heinz, given his Austrian background.
“But we managed quite nicely,” she added. “It’s nice to see these other young entrepreneurs given their due.”
Sean Petersen creates beautiful bowls as part of therapy to regain his coordination following a climbing injury.
Shannon avery’s locally made luce mia oils in-clude catchy names like “naughty Body,” “Shoe Flu” and “Focus Pocus.”

gone, But Not Forgotten
A mystery person stopped by the Hailey Cemetery and decorated the monu-ment that is dedicated to all those

Maggie Springer, who heads up the Hailey Memorial Day ceremony every year, said that it wasn’t laid by anyone who works at the cemetery, it just “appeared” a week and a half or so ago. “It’s a wonderful sight, and it’s great to see that our local heroes have not been forgotten this Christmas season,” she said.

Fishing RepoRtTHE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JAN. 1 FROM PICABO ANGLER
A festive holiday week continues with perfect fishing weather for fly
anglers. Expect temps above freezing and great action on the Big Wood, Big Lost and Silver Creek. This may also be a good week to explore the South Fork of the Boise.
Midges are the only game in town right now and both wet and dry may be options. If you fish the nymph, try Zebra Nymphs, Zug Bugs, and Brassies. Sizes 16, 18 and 20 are appropriate. Fish Red, Black and Copper col-ors. Fishing these nymphs in tandem is a great way to go. Tie on a size 16 fly to your 9 foot 4X leader. Then tie 18 inches of 5X to the hook shank and com-plete this rig with a size 18 nymph on the bottom. Use two different colors and fish them under a strike indi-cator. Set your indicator at 1½ times the water depth and try to fish long waist, to thigh deep riffles and runs. This is a great set up on the South Fork, Big Wood and Lost. Be sure to have a selection of dry Midges as well. The Griffiths Gnat and Tie Down Midge are two of our favorites and they may be rigged the same as the nymphs, with eh Gnat in front and the smaller Midge dropped behind. Fish these only to fish rising on the natural. Don’t try to prospect the rivers with this set up.
If you come on down to Silver Creek plan on mostly fishing Streamers. Non-weighted flies are the norm, or a bead head streamer generally have plenty of weight for the deeper spots. Fish these flies on 9 foot 2X leaders. Flu-orocarbon, although more expensive, is a great idea for the big toothy Brown Trout! The warm days this past week broke all the ice out of the lower Creek so there is plenty of open water to fish right now.
Waterfowl hunters contin-ue do well on Silver Creek as northern birds continue to show up in the valley. The light amount of snow in the Silver Creek valley has made it possible for ducks and geese to feed in the fields and they seem to be sticking around longer than a typical winter.
Upland hunters continue to enjoy snow free ridge lines and are they are seeing quite a few coveys in the Picabo hills.
Anglers and Hunters – Don’t forget to purchase a new license this week for the 2014 season!
Happy Fishing and Hunting Everyone!

Conservation EasementsBy Wendell cayton
Not many things can drive a stake through the heart of a family business or
farm like the death of the owner followed by a huge estate tax bill. An estate tax return and tax payment due 9 months from date of death, unless extended, can force the unwanted sale of the business, or in the case of a farm, piecemeal land sales.
Once parcelization of farm or ranch land begins, it often becomes impossible to stop as it cuts into the ability of the land-owner to make a living from the land, leaving selling the prop-erty as the only way out. One solution is to put a conservation easement on the property.
A conservation easement is a charitable contribution of certain property interests of farm, ranch, other open lands or a building of historical signifi-cance to qualified organizations acting in the public good. While the owner gives up some rights, such as selling smaller parcels for real estate development, or in the case of a historical building, changing the façade, the owner retains the rights to continue to use the property, consistent with an agreement with the qualified organization.
The qualified organization, such as a land conservancy trust, is tasked with the respon-sibility to work with the land-owner to insure that the proper-ty is used correctly and managed for the purposes intended.
In exchange for giving up certain rights, the landowner receives a charitable deduction
that is computed by plac-ing a value on the rights relinquished. The income tax deduction is gen-erally up to 30% of the adjusted gross income of the donor, and any excess amount may be carried forward and deducted over the five succeeding years.
Further, while the land may be sold, the conservation ease-ment continues on title, and the new owner must abide by the conservation goals and restric-tions of the qualifying organiza-tion. The result is the discount-ing of the property in the estate of the owner, which ultimately can reduce or eliminate estate taxes at death.
Heirs may elect to place a con-servation easement on inherited property, if done within nine months of the owner’s death, further devaluing the estate for estate tax purposes.
Conservation easements date back to the 1950’s. But it was the passage of the “Uniform Conser-vation Easement Act” in 1981 that allowed private parties to enter into consensual arrange-ments with charitable organi-zations or governmental bodies to protect land and historical buildings plus the rapid appreci-ation of raw, farm land that that has led to today’s wider use.
Congress recognized the value of a conservation easement to landowners. It preserved features and benefits of their property that they wished to preserve. It gave them potential significant tax relief that could help keep the farm in the family,
all while maintaining private ownership of the land.
To qualify a charitable easement for tax purpos-es the easement must be perpetual and made to a qualified nonprofit or public agency. The IRS requires that the agree-ment meet one or more
of the following conservation purposes:
• Preserve the land for public outdoor recreation or education.
• Provide for the protection of natural habitats of fish, wildlife or plants
• Provide for the preservation of historically important land or buildings
• Provide for the scenic enjoy-ment of the general public.
With the easement in place the landowner retains ownership, and may continue to use the land for farming or forestry pur-poses. Conserving open lands, farms, forests and other natural resources derives public benefit. And, the land is devalued for property and estate tax purposes since development rights are restricted.

2014 is here! The beginning of a new year is a great time
to reflect and make a plan for what you desire in the year ahead. However, less than 10 percent of people accom-plish their New Year’s resolutions. So should you not make goals? On the contrary! If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. So YES, set aside some time to make a plan, AND then follow these incredibly valuable strat-egies for how to be successful at reaching your goals:
Always move TOWARD what you want, not away from what you don’t want. “I want to feel great in my body and confident in my clothes,” is a better goal than, “I want to lose weight.” Not wanting to be a particular way is never enough motivation for change. For exam-ple, not wanting to be perpetual-ly running late is not enough of a reason to stop. Instead, focus on what you want... more peace and calm that arriving on time will give you. Begin with the end in mind of how you want to feel, and then set your goals via working backwards. Set your intentions first; action steps second.
Choose specific actions that are in alignment with your goal. If you want to be better rested, plan what time you’d like to get to bed, and simply start by reaching that goal twice next week. If you want more joy and laughter, make the first Satur-day of each month your night to see a funny movie. If you want more free time, schedule a specific activity for yourself each week or even for a few minutes each day.
Keep the bar low, slowly in-crease over time. One reason goals often go unmet is because we expect too much of ourselves. By keeping goals small... going to bed by 10 just twice per week, avoiding sugar three days per week... you set yourself up for success, and success breeds more
success! After achieving smaller goals, you’ll become motivated to increase them.
Use visual remind-ers. It’s a fact that when goals are written and you see them daily, your success in reaching them skyrockets.
Believe and visu-alize. You must believe that reaching your goal is possible. See yourself as if it is already true as you fall asleep.
Expect imperfection. Fall down? Get back up!
Have an accountability partner. It’s a proven fact that you will have a greater chance of reaching your goals if you have someone to be accountable to. No matter how great the athlete, nobody makes it the Olympics without a coach. Being account-able is essential.
If you don’t have someone in mind to work with, I can help. The popular Lifestyle Trans-formation Program makes incorporating the above very simple and everything is done over the phone. Send an e-mail to [email protected] to request more information on this great program.
Why is a doctor writing about goal-setting? Because people who have goals and reach them are happier and healthier. So... what is your plan for 2014?

hands waving in the air as she described what she remembered.
While learning to make porcelain platters, Carol learned to paint from plein air painter Ted Villa, whose work is featured at Broschofsky Galleries. Over the years, she has even painted with brushes made from a skunk tail a friend cut off when they spotted a dead skunk on the way to Twin Falls.
“Jim Romberg advised me to practice painting on paper before I put it on clay—once you put paint on clay, you don’t get it off. Ted would take eight of us out in the woods. The rest of the painters would be trying hard to make every line count. Me being abstract, I went ‘Whoosh, whoosh. Okay, I’m finished,’ ” she recalls, her hands making sweeping brushstrokes through the air.
Carol brought her husband and two daughters to Sun Valley from Los Angeles. She also convinced Patricia Hanwright, the wife of a movie director, to move here to escape the pollution in the Los Angeles area.
They set up the Good Medicine Pottery Studio in Ketchum’s light industrial zone. The loft studio, with its crazy-shaped windows facing Baldy, soon attracted all kinds of artists, including singer Carole King. Glenn did her paintings and pottery while Hanwright sculpted American Indians.
That studio sufficed for 15 years until a local Realtor told Carol about a studio adjacent to a steel and concrete house tucked away in the woods in Gimlet.
“I am so lucky I have such a great husband,” Carol says. “We were having our 25th anniversary and Scott said, ‘I want to get you something really special.’ He was thinking about a ring, but I said, ‘I’m not really a jewelry person.’ I said, ‘Honey, how about a house?’ ”
The house, built by a bachelor for parties, is an adult house--perfect for a couple whose children have grown, she adds.
“Some of my black and white paintings were inspired by that house – I’m driven by it. And it offers plenty of spaces for me to hang paintings. Every other house we’ve had was log and you can’t hang paintings on log walls.”
The “Ghost “ in the roomCarol looks around her studio with its 30-foot-
tall ceiling, its window looking out onto the towering mountain slopes overlooking Gimlet, and its walk-in closet housing some of her giant-sized paintings.
A couple studio chairs from Scott’s movies—“The Hunt for Red October” and “Journey to the End of the Night”—sit out around the coffee table. Clay sculptures created by her grandchildren ages 11, 8 and 4 sit next to the kiln, interspersed with her own pottery.
The paint-splashed linoleum, where the grand-children ride their bikes, is due to be replaced soon, she says. Her daughters, their husbands and the grandchildren are staying upstairs during the Christmas holidays.
It was here that Demi Moore, who has long had a home in the valley, practiced throwing pots for her sensual potter’s scene with Patrick Swayze in the movie “Ghost.”
“Who knew it was going to be so huge!?” says Carol, her dark expressive eyes getting even bigger as she emphasizes her point. “I think she showed the world how cool making pottery could be.”
The association with Demi proved invaluable when Carol went to China in August to shepherd the printing of her book.
“Scott was supposed to have gone. But, as deputy sheriff, he didn’t want to leave with the Beaver Creek Fire just starting. So, everybody was like, ‘Where’s the movie star?’ They were a little disap-pointed. Then one young woman looked through my book and Demi’s name popped out at her. We have a saying that when people see celebrities they spaz out. And she went nuts!”
As if on cue, Scott Glenn sashays into the studio to pick up a book he’s offered to deliver to one of Carol’s admiring fans.
The analytical theater pro in him immediately wants to know where the reporter in his midst got her accent. Then, he offers praise on his wife’s behalf.
“I think at long last people are going to realize she’s the real artist in the family,” he says.
“Actors everywhere should kiss Thomas Edison’s feet because before he figured out how to reproduce performance, we were at the bottom of the rung,” he adds as an afterthought.
Working with clay is a “very Zen” thing for Carol as she moves from the throwing to the fire to the glaze, always holding her breath that the piece won’t explode, crack, or buckle in the kiln.
“You learn the techniques. Then you enjoy what you do,” she says. “When I’m throwing a pot, it just happens. Each time I have no idea what is going to happen so I have to love each part. When it comes out and it’s not what I thought it was going to do, I have to be so quick not to judge. Maybe a week later, I’ll say, ‘You know, it’s not so bad.’ ”
One of Carol’s first clients—in 1981—was Burt Lancaster, who already had a line of Picasso ce-ramics. Carol made dinnerware for him in the com-munal kiln at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. Donna Karan, who has visited her Gimlet studio many times, also has some of her dinnerware.
“People might say, ‘Wow,’ but that’s what hap-pens when you’re in the movie business. We were with Burt in the worst part of Mexico so we hung
out together and we bond-ed.”
She picks up an olive-green platter.
“You want the width of the bowl at the rim to be the same as the width nearer the middle. My bowls have to be light because I’m a small woman. Jim Romberg’s pieces are big because he’s a big man.”
The in-stallation at Ochi featured Carol’s white ware hung in the shape of a martini glass with one green dish represent-ing an olive in the middle. Black pieces were strung along the wall to look like constellations.
It was a bit overwhelming at the time, Carol says, “But I’m hoping we can hang them again somewhere.
Finding her voiceThe genesis for the book started when local
photographer Kirsten Shultz, who took photos for Cristina’s cookbooks, took photos for a magazine article on Glenn. Eventually, Shultz’s husband Drew Furlong, a graphic designer, came on board, as did editor Karen Oswalt.
“I did it because I thought I’d like my grandkids to know what I’ve done. The bar was raised when the others got involved,” Carol says.
Carol spent hours with Furlong and Shultz figuring out what angles would best display her works. Shultz and Furlong planned the shoots and design around Carol’s stories, which she read to them as they worked.
“We were always moved by her actual voice, even the inflection. We wondered: How can we do these stories justice? What can we do to make this book as beautiful as her stories?” Schultz relates.
The book captures the reader’s attention imme-diately. For one, the inside jacket cover is blank.
The first image the reader sees is that of clay-covered fingers curled around a piece of pot-tery that evokes thoughts of cookie dough.
“Glenn seems to intuitively know when to stop, when to stop throwing and when to leave the mark slightly off-kilter,” writes Kristin Poole, artistic director for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, as she praises Glenn for respecting the quality of the clay.
“I started writing, which I didn’t know I could do. I was so thrilled—it was just my memories,” says Carol. “What’s great about Karen is it’s really me, it’s really my voice. She just cleaned it up. We tried to keep it simple. When we started, I had no idea it would turn out so beautiful.”
That said, Carol didn’t give any copies to her grandchildren this Christmas.
“I asked one if he wanted me to sign a copy of the book for him and I got a blank stare. I said, ‘I think I should wait and give them a copy when they’re older when they understand what it’s all about.’ ”
Now, Carol is considering another book.“I had such a great time doing this book, I
thought maybe I’ll do another one talking about my paintings, talking about my adventures traveling and how they contributed to my paintings.”

Beaver Creek Fire RetrospectiveEditor’s note: As we
say goodbye to 2013, we take a look back at the
year’s biggest event:
Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK
As Dan and Martine Drack-ett stared in the rear-view mirror, they resigned
themselves to the idea that they might never again see the ele-gant home they’d built in 1999 out of Vermont barn wood.
“We looked in the mirror as we drove past Friedman Memorial Airport and it looked like there were three volcanoes erupting where our house was,” Dan recalled.
The Beaver Creek Fire, which wrapped around the Wood River Valley in mid-August, chased thousands of Wood River Valley residents from their homes, including the Dracketts whose home lies in the Greenhorn neighborhood a few miles south of Ketchum.
The fire, which destroyed 111,000 acres—more than twice that of the 48,000-acre Castle Rock Fire in 2007—hadn’t alarmed the Dracketts at first.
They were preparing for two parties—a fundraiser for the Wood River YMCA and a barbe-cue for the Sun Valley Summer Symphony musicians--in the outdoor pavilion back of their home.
“Everyone kept saying, ‘It’s smoky, but it’s over there,’” Dan recalled. “But we have several phone lines in our house and on Aug. 15 all of them started ring-ing at once, telling us we had to evacuate immediately. We boarded our dogs, crossed our fingers and left.”
The single lightning strike that started the Beaver Creek Fire around midnight of Aug. 7 in a forested area west of Hailey didn’t initially attract the sense of urgency of other lightning strikes that had grown into fires threatening farms near Fair-field.
But within days the Beaver Creek Fire was lapping at the edge of campgrounds in Deer Creek Canyon and marching toward the residences lining canyons north of Hailey.
On Thursday, Aug. 15, Inci-dent Commander Beth Lund paced the dusty ground in the fire camp that had been estab-lished in a field on Buttercup Road. She watched as the fire climbed relentlessly up the slopes lining Deer Creek and crested the hill overlooking Greenhorn Gulch.
“Not a good day. You have an angry fire here,” she muttered to a reporter standing nearby.
Hundreds of onlookers lined the bike path at East Fork Road watching the ferocious aerial at-tack on Greenhorn that ensued.
With 50 significant wildfires raging throughout the West, Lund had been lucky to snag a DC 10 Very Large Air Tanker that could drop 12,000 gallons of retardant in a single swoosh. But that tanker had barely gotten started when it had to be taken out of the fight and grounded for two days after losing its No. 2 engine.
Helicopters continued the assault, dipping water out of the ponds in Golden Eagle.
“That aircraft probably saved a lot of homes in Greenhorn,” said Ketchum Fire Chief Mike Elle. “Every single fire engine was washed with red retardant.”
A wall of flamesSpurred by wicked winds
gusting up to 60 miles per hour, the fire had run eight miles in one afternoon. Ugly brown and purple smoke clouds blocked out the sun while red and yellow
flames underneath shot a hun-dred feet into the air. The fire moved in the face of the winds, defying normal fire behavior. Strong winds were sucked into the base feeding the fire.
Firefighters gasped as they saw a wall of flames a quar-ter-mile wide.
They had already done triage, digging a fire line 1.5 miles long at the base of the mountain lin-ing the Greenhorn neighborhood and helping homeowners move wood piles and propane tanks away from homes.
Now, firefighters spilled out of 10 fire trucks and rolled out hos-es around the multi-million-dol-lar homes lining the road as the fire closed in on the Greenhorn trailhead.
“All we could think was, ‘Uh-oh, we’ve got a problem,’ ” recalled Elle. “With the Castle Rock Fire, we had three days to roll out hoses around the homes. That’s how far behind we were. Our resources were just stretched so thin.”
Each pine that caught on fire created its own weather. Mini-tornadoes created by the fire sent burning branches flying through the air causing spot fires elsewhere as winds were sucked toward a fire whirl hun-dreds of feet high.
“It was the most intense fire behavior I’ve seen in 24 years,” said firefighter Vaughn Palmer.
By morning light, only one house had been lost—its wood shingles a siren call for the conflaguration that reduced it to a chimney.
“It ended up being a really successful story about fighting fire in really severe conditions,” said firefighter Jeremy Bailey. “And we were lucky that the homes there were on the valley floor with green grass around them—there would have been nothing anyone could have done had the homes been situated mid-slope. We wouldn’t have even sent firefighters to try to save them.”
But the fire was far from over. It continued its march—up Timber Gulch, where flames seemed to taunt residents of Cold Springs and Gimlet below and down the hills overlooking Highway 75 toward Hailey.
Patti Reed, who had planned a summer patio party the night of Aug. 16, kept fielding calls from partygoers.
“Yes, it’s still on—I haven’t been evacuated yet,” she said, determined to have her party.
But as she and a friend took a walk to catch their breaths, she saw one of the pines that tow-ered over her home in Gimlet catch on fire from an ember that had flown off a tree burning on a ridgeline a half-mile away across the highway.
“The firefighters stationed in our neighborhood saw it, too. They were there within a minute and put it out right away—and they complimented me on having fire-resistant architectural-grade asphalt on my roof, rather than shake shingles,” Reed recalled. “Of course, we never did get to have the party. We were evacu-ated shortly afterwards. I went to my girlfriend’s in the Della View neighborhood of Hailey and we were there an hour before we had to evacuate again.”
As evening fell, one man set up a lawn chair in the dusty parking lot at the end of Butter-cup Road to watch the fire march down the highway. Evacuees took up positions on hillsides overlooking Hailey’s Woodside neighborhood to watch the fire crest Carbonate Ridge and continue its onslaught into Croy Canyon.
Volunteers evacuated animals from the animal shelter and nearby ranches.
The highway was clogged with
truckloads of artwork being evacuated to safer venues and with valley residents fleeing to Twin Falls, Boise, Hagerman, Stanley and even Yellowstone National Park as the Beaver Creek Fire overnight became the top priority fire in the nation.
“We were seeing fire behavior that you just don’t see at night,” said Elle, noting that fire usually lays down at night. “Carbonate, Croy Canyon—all that happened at night. That’s why we had to wake firefighters up—because everything happened so fast we didn’t have enough men to staff the night shift.”
An anxious homecoming
After a week’s respite in Montana, the Dracketts made their way back home via Challis and Stanley. They drove past fire trucks and water stations at Baker Creek where firefighters were still fighting the north flank of the fire.
When they got to Ketchum, they stopped for dinner at Eno-teca.
“We thought it might be easier to come home in the dark and survey the damage the next morning,” Dan recalled.
At dawn’s first light, they saw the burnt fence posts that surrounded their home, the blackened hillside, 63 trees that had been lost in their expansive yard.
“But we were relieved to see how much was intact. Not only was our house intact but our close-up view is as interesting as it’s always been,” said Dan. “We had done everything we could beforehand. We had moved our woodpile. We were surrounded by meadow, which is much less flammable than sagebrush. And we had mowed down that meadow. All that made our house very defensible. In fact, the firefighters gave us an A-plus for defensibility.”
Even as firefighters continued to fight the fire, rehabilitation specialists moved into Green-horn Gulch scrubbing smoky homes, repairing burnt fences, hosing down fire retardant and removing soot that blew over the road from a wildlife refuge that had been scorched.
AIG handed Dan Drackett a check to replace trees, reseed acreage damaged by the fire and fell dead trees on the hillside, laying them perpendicular to the fall line.
Actor Bruce Willis, whose home was square in the midst of the Carbonate Ridge inferno, treated firefighters to dinner.
Diners rose from their tables, offering a standing ovation when a dozen firefighters walked into the Pioneer Saloon.
And Wood River Valley resi-dent Pam Bailey bought a bunch of wraps and went out looking for firefighters to give them to as an acknowledgement of her gratitude for firefighters who had contained the fire to 173 square miles—the size of Albuquerque or San Jose.
“They’re amazing heroes,” she said.
Then the unthinkable hap-pened. A couple weeks after the fire was corralled, a ferocious lightning storm that some weather observers called “a once-in-a-century storm” dumped nearly an inch of rain on the area in an hour’s time.
Raindrops bounced off the soil, which had been baked like a cake. Mud-like avalanches slid off the hills sending mud the consistency of Hershey’s syrup mixed with silt and ash spilling across people’s lawns, clogging irrigation ditches and creeping into some homes.

The mud carried a motorcycle away. It swept a homeowner off his feet as he tried to dismantle a log pile to keep it from ram-ming into his home.
“It was incredible--like the Mississippi Delta all around our home,” said Martine Drackett.
A river ran through Bill Potter’s house. Mud filled his 10-foot-tall underground garage, forcing its way onto the first floor of his house.
And firefighters were called to a flood in Greenhorn—water that had risen nine inches in less than 45 minutes—even as they were called on to put out a lightning-sparked fire near Boundary Creek where the sun was shining, said Elle.
A nervous futureThe Beaver Creek Fire fol-
lowed a dry winter and an even drier summer in which streams in Greenhorn Gulch had dried up by July. By the time the Beaver Creek Fire ignited, other forests in southern Idaho were already on fire.
Eighty structures—half of them summer homes—had been destroyed in Fall Creek near the South Fork of the Boise River as fire went on to burn a thousand square miles in southern Idaho.
“I can’t recall ever having to worry about forest fires when I was young. We didn’t even have smoke from other fires,” recalled Mary Jane Conger, whose grand-father was among the first set-tlers in the Wood River Valley.
Even though previous fires failed to stop the fire that marched across the forest near Pine and Featherville, the Castle Rock Fire stopped the Beaver Creek Fire dead in its tracks, said Bailey.
“A smokejumper told me if he had had one more smokejump-er when the Castle Rock Fire started, the Castle Rock Fire wouldn’t have taken off like it did. I told him, ‘Good thing you didn’t have that smokejumper,’ “ Bailey added.
The Forest Service did aerial seeding of the Greenhorn area in November as the first snows fell. But Ketchum District Ranger Kurt Nelson cautions that it will take about three years for hill-sides to reestablish themselves.
The dry winter thus far means less chance of damage from snow run-off even as it means a heightened chance of more fire later in the summer.
But Dan Drackett is opti-mistic. Greenhorn homeowners worked with Galena Engineering to send a drone over the valley to document contour lines and water runoff so they could build berms to prevent future water damage without accidentally diverting mud and water into a neighbor’s property should another downpour or mudslide occur.
And the homeowners have already reseeded 40 acres of common ground.
“I just feel so fortunate that we still have our home,” said Martine Drackett. “The firefight-ers were exceptional.”

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,While most people are toastingwith eggnog at their office par-ties, I'm singing the blues. Itturns out I work for Scrooge! Iput in extra hours almost everyweek this year and worked hard-er than ever before. I didn'tmind because I thought myboss rewarded hard work. Whenthe bonus checks came aroundthis season, there wasn't muchof a reward. You could say mycheck was made from coal dust.It has me making a New Year'sresolution to never let it happenagain. Even though the employ-ment ads are a bit thin this timeof year, I've been scanning themever since I got my check. A fewhave caught my interest and Iplan on interviewing with them.I don't mind working hard, but Iwant to find someone whowill reward it come hol-iday time. Is there anyway to tell if I'll beworking for one ofScrooge's relatives at anew company?

three ghosts of Christmas will visityour boss, but you probablyshouldn't bank on it.
Carry: While you may be dis-appointed, it is possible that your
boss is not Ebenezer Scrooge.Depending on the size of yourcompany, the decision for a bonuscheck may not even be his tomake.
Cash: If this is a larger compa-ny, it could be that managers in ahigher position make the decision.For many companies, bonuschecks are often a percentage ofsalary or based on managementlevels.
Carry: Now if this is a smallcompany where your boss is theowner, finances could limit him ifthe company didn't perform asexpected.
Cash: Before you lose yourChristmas spirit from a checkmade of coal, consider talkingwith your boss. If a financial
reward isn't possible, maybe hecould compensate for your addi-tional efforts with alternativessuch as more vacation time orflexible work hours.
Carry: Then next year, youwon't mind as much when youreceive your bonus check on vaca-tion!
Cash: If you still plan on look-ing for a new job, know that itmay be difficult to foresee how acompany will act at the holidays.After all, they do call it a "bonuscheck" for a reason.
Carry: Remember though, yourbest opportunity for an increase insalary is to negotiate it at the timeyou're hired. That way there won'tbe any disappointments when itcomes to the holidays.

ScroogedWhat would Christmas be
without the story of A ChristmasCarol by Charles Dickens? Firstpublished in1844, the story tookDickens about six weeks to com-plete. Desperately in need ofmoney, he hoped the royalties ofthe book would help his financialcrisis. Despite the book's suc-cess, selling out the entire run of6,000 on the first day, Dickensmade little money. Today hisoriginal manuscript of the bookresides at Pierpont MorganLibrary in New York City and istypically on display around theholidays.Party Crashers
Every year, many companiestreat their employees to an officeChristmas party. It's one of thefew times a year when all levelsof staff have the opportunity tomingle and socialize. However,for some the party can break theircareer. Surveys suggest thatabout 15% of all office partieshave employees with inappropri-ate behavior. The experts advisethat moderation is best during thefestivities, dressing appropriatelyand keeping your eating anddrinking in check.

Thank you President Obama. My health insurance bill went from $800 per month to less than $200 per month with much better coverage. I’ll be able to pay down my debt at $500 per month and then I’m going to buy a new car with the savings. That’s how I’m going to help stimulate the economy. I bet I’m not alone. Save your family, vote out republicans and let’s have a happy new year! Thank you for your caring kindness! Show your appreciation!
