PUTTING THE CURL IN THE STONEhailey teachers have the craftPHOTOS AND STORIES BY KAREN BOSSICK

To hardcore curling fans, the kettle-shaped stones are spoken of in hushed terms. After all, these are rocks born of a distinctive water-resistant microgranite culled from Ailsa Craig, an uninhabited 220-acre volcanic island off the west Scottish coast that towers 1,100 feet into the sky and was even memorialized in a Keats sonnet.

It can cost $40,000 to outfit just one team with the eight stones needed to complete a game of curling. “They cost $4,500 used!” says James Foster, a Wood River High School social studies teacher. Foster wasn’t willing to shell out that kind of money for a curling stone. But when he and high school math teacher Glenn Lindsley found a YouTube video about making curling stones, they couldn’t resist.

They didn’t have the diamond cutters used to cut granite the size of cars into 44-pound Sochi stones. Nor did they have the cables, drill cores, high-powered hydro systems, hydraulic press, grinding machines and com-puter-guided imagery machines used at the curling stone factory on the Ayrshire Coast.

But the two did have four stainless steel salad bowls that they could screw together and fill with cement. They topped these with rebar they bent to create han-dles. Then, Foster made bumpers with hoses wrapped in pipe insulation. “We finished them off with duct tape, of course,” he adds.

These curling stones would never pass muster at Sochi

James Foster and Glenn Lindsley

say they like being part of the Hailey ice rink because of the number of kids

it attracts. “We’re providing a spot to hang out,” says Foster. “I was out two nights last week and they had

two different pickup games attracting people between the ages of 7 and 55.”

where the 2014 Winter Olympics starts in two weeks. They might not even pass inspection at the second annual curling tournament being held in Stanley Friday through Sunday. Especially, since they weigh closer to the 25-pound junior stones for kids. (“We ordered the wrong-size salad bowls,” Foster says.)

But they’re the darling of dozens of youngsters who frequent the outdoor ice rink at the Hailey Rodeo Park. “Bring them out and the kids flock to them,” Foster says.

Curling is said to have its origins on Scotland’s frozen ponds, pos-sibly as far back as 1511. One curler slides forward on the ice, letting

The Boise Curling Club calls it “the greatest Olympic sport on Earth.” And it’s being

played in Stanley this weekend.The Boise Curling Club will hold its second annual Sawtooth Outdoor Bonspiel Friday through Sunday at the outdoor ice rink in Stanley.

Teams are coming from six states and the spectating is free. In fact, spectators will even have the oppor-tunity to give curling a try in a free group curling lesson at noon Satur-day, said Rachel Holtgard, treasurer of the Boise Curling Club.

“The Sochi Winter Olympics, including the great sport of curling, will be watched by millions in the weeks to come. This is your chance to get out on the ice and experience it firsthand,” Holtgard added.

The SOB, as it’s called, began as an experiment last January, said Bonspiel Chairman and Boise Curl-ing Club President Jared Belsher. It proved so successful that it’s now a United States Curling Association event known as “the Stanley Cup of Curling.”

“Almost no one is crazy enough to host a bonspiel outdoors. We invited curling clubs throughout the United States and Canada to come to Idaho’s mountains for the 10-team event. It was so successful and so popular that we’ve expanded this year’s bonspiel to 16 teams,” said Belsher.

Among the draws: the chance to play the game outdoors, as it was done for hundreds of years in Scotland and other parts of Europe before the invention of indoor ice rinks.

The Boise club built its own equipment for outdoor curling in any type of weather. Russ Benson, a Micron engineer, even figured out a way to place electric lights under the ice so games can continue after dark.

There will be a rink-side heated tent and fire barrels to keep curlers and spectators warm.

The competition starts at 5 p.m. Friday and continues through the weekend with games being played Saturday morning and evening. The championship game will be played between 10 a.m. and noon Sunday.

The event will include live music with Bernie Reilly performing Friday night and Gizzard Stone on Saturday night at the Kasino Club Bar. There is no cover charge.

Cody Canada and the Departed from Austin, Texas, and American Aquarium from North Carolina will perform Saturday at the Rod and Gun Saloon. Tickets are $10 in advance at rightlaneproductions.net and $15 at the door.

Boulder Mountain

Tour Update

Bound For Sochi

STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

Got low snow? S’no prob-lem. The show will go on, albeit with a few tweaks.

Sun Valley Nordic Festival organizers have been inhaling antacids for the past couple of weeks as they’ve had to con-struct Plan Bs and Cs for events like the Boulder Mountain Tour, given the warm, sunny, bluebird days that have parked them-selves over Sun Valley most of this winter.

And, with the festival set to kick off on Friday, only one event has been cancelled.

The annual Paw n’ Pole, scheduled this weekend at Croy Nordic, was cancelled even though that event has been held at Galena Lodge before.

The other two events receiving the most tweaking are Ski the Rails and the Boulder Mountain Tour.

“It’s certainly been a more challenging year than usual. But, when all’s said and done, we think it’s going to be our finest hour. We have lots of people com-ing from out of town. And, while you can’t ski in the south valley, there’s some great skiing in the north valley,” said Blaine County Recreation District Director Jim Keating, as he listed a variety of events, including a free reggae concert included among the festi-val’s many offerings.

Boulder Mountain Tour orga-nizers had up to four different options for the 32-kilometer marathon race, which attracts skiers from overseas.

They toyed with the idea of winding the race around Galena Lodge and ending it at Baker Creek when the initial groom of the mass finish line opposite the Sawtooth National Recreation Area headquarters turned up a forest of willows sticking out of the snow.

But the trail’s end improved with a little work. On Satur-day, organizers announced that the 39th Annual Swix Boulder Mountain Tour would only undergo a slight change near the beginning of the race course.

The course will begin as usual on Saturday, Feb. 1, with 25 lanes in Senate Meadows near Galena Lodge. Racers will loop

Hundreds of racers—a quarter of them from out of town—are expected

for the Swix Boulder Mountain Tour on Saturday,

Feb. 1.

around Senate Meadows, then cross Highway 75 at the chain-up area just south of the lodge.

Skiers will access the upper Harriman Trail at that point and remain on it as it drops 1,100 feet over 20 miles until the finish line opposite the SNRA.

There will be a single track at the side of the course for those who prefer to ski on classic skis, rather than skate skis.

The 15-kilometer non-compet-itive Half-Boulder will begin at Baker Creek and end opposite the SNRA, as it has in the past.

“It’s going to happen and it’s going to be great,” said Keating.

Ski the Rails, set to start at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 25, has morphed into a Ski Free Day on the Blaine County Recreation District’s Nordic trails.

Skiers will not be able to ski the usual course from Ketchum

to Hailey along the bike path, due to low snow.

But the BCRD staff and volunteers will welcome skiers at the Prairie Creek trailhead 17 miles north of Ketchum from 10 a.m. to noon with hot cocoa, coffee and muffins from Perry’s, giveaways and a fire pit.

The BCRD hopes to groom at least four or five kilometers of trail on the east side of Billy’s Bridge, in addition to the couple already being groomed on the west side of the river for those with dogs, Keating said.

“We’ve moved an Intermoun-tain Junior National Qualifier for some 200 skiers from Lake Creek to Galena Lodge because of low snow at Lake Creek. So it’s going to be a fun but busy morning,” he added.

Dogs are also welcome on the Harriman Trail from the SNRA to Easley Bridge just north of Cathedral Pines and on the Cabin Loop, Northwood and Titus trails west of Galena Lodge. They’re permitted on all snowshoe trails. tws

Jasmine Campbell is slapping a “Bound for Sochi” sticker on her slalom and giant slalom skis.

The Wood River High School graduate from Hailey got confirmation Monday morning that she will represent the U.S. Virgin Islands in the 2014 Winter Olympics, which start Feb. 7.

The Whitman College senior, who had been training with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, beat out Veronica Gaspar—for the lone alpine slot assigned to the Virgin Islands.

Gaspar trained with the SVSEF last winter while attending the Sun Valley Ski Academy.

“I did it! I’m so exhausted from the ex-citement of it all! I’m just unbelievably over-whelmed by the whole thing,” said Campbell, who was born in the Virgin Islands but moved to Sun Valley with her family when she was 10.

Campbell’s father, John Campbell, who devel-oped the Old Cutters neighborhood in Hailey, will accompany his daughter as her coach. He skied for the Virgin Islands in the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.

“I used to coach ski racing when I got out of college and I’ve been coaching Jazz this year at her qualification races,” said John Campbell.

“It will be nice to have someone with whom I am very close and can share the experience with,” said Jasmine Campbell.

Jasmine Campbell, or Jazz, placed 14th in an international FIS race at Sun Valley last year. She also trained in Argentina and China this past year en route to Sochi.

Campbell said she will begin packing for Sochi in the next few days. One thing that goes for sure: Her good luck pin—a pair of wings from the Burlington airlift.

“A good friend gave it to me with good intentions. It reminds me to just keep reaching,” she said.

Campbell said she is most looking forward to interacting with “the unique community of people from all different walks of life that come to walk together.”

“I’m looking forward to learning about their expe-riences,” she said. “Just generating that internation-al camaraderie will be so cool.” tws

The tidal wave of Christ-mas frenzy is beginning to recede, leaving behind

houses stuffed with, well, stuff. If you are a victim of the national hangover from buying, throwing away and then buying more, step back and consider obsolescence. Obsolescence is a common marketing strategy for products, with the objective of generating long-term sales volume by shortening the time between repeat purchases. We Americans are easy to sway, bombarded as we are by style mavens declaring that bell-bot-toms are now “out” (or back “in”) and celebrities touting the hip factor of owning the latest cellphone. We are pitifully easy to convince that the only way to brew coffee is from pod-like cups, rather than with the electric Mr. Coffee-type appliance/percolator/

stovetop espresso maker/drip carafe already in our kitchen. How did we go from a culture with heirlooms to a culture with so many throwaways? A great example is the floppy disk; if you have a stack, you know that the data stored on them is still read-able, but the equipment to read that data has become unavail-able. Products that naturally wear out or break down become obsolete if replacement parts are no longer available, or when the cost of repairs or replacement parts is higher than the cost of a new item. A product may even be designed to use a faster wear-ing component, which is called planned obsolescence. What to do? Come back next week for Repair Ware. Post your thoughts on Facebook/ERC Sun Valley.

The Wood River Valley Studio Tour will be back—but nearly a month earlier

than last year.And the non-profit organiza-

tion will build up to next fall’s tour with three artist educa-tion workshops that begin on Tuesday.

Next year’s tour will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 27 and 28. A reception with the artists will be held Friday, Sept. 26.

“This is a weekend where there are not a lot of activities drawing visitors,” said Suzanne Hazlett, president and co-found-er of the Studio Tour. “It’s right after the Sun Valley Harvest Festival and distant enough from Wagon Days. Last year we held it during the Jazz Festival, but Sun Valley doesn’t need to fill any more beds that weekend.

“And, while the weather was favorable last year at that time, it might not be so favorable this coming year. Having it in September may give us the opportunity to engage bicyclists who want to ride around to the studios.”

Last fall’s tour-goers said they appreciated the chance to see what goes into creating works of art.

“They loved the behind-the-scenes look. And many of the artists reported they gained business because of the expo-

sure. Some had works commis-sioned. Others sold works during the tour. It was rewarding for them to be able to monetize their passion,” said Hazlett.

One artist—Judith Kindler—was even somewhat inspired by the tour to establish a studio in Ketchum’s light industrial district, Hazlett added.

The Studio Tour will hold three free workshops examining the business of art in the next three months.

The first, “Website & Email Essentials,” will start at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28. It will feature Sarah Murphy of Clear Mind Graphics and Brooke Bon-ner, Wood River Valley Studio Tour co-founder.

The second, “Facebook, Twit-ter & Other Tools,” will be held

at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25. Lynn Pattnosh, executive pro-ducer of Concierge Q, will take attendees through the ins and outs of social media.

The third, “The Evolving Artist and Gallery Relationship,” will be held at 5:30 p.m. Tues-day, March 18.

The SVCA’s Kristin Poole and Courtney Gilbert are putting together a panel of gallery owners and art dealers for that presentation.

“Things have changed a lot. Galleries are still fabulous plac-es for artists to be represented, but there are other options, as well,” said Hazlett.

The free workshops are hosted by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. All three will be held at the SVCA’s center in Hailey at 314 2nd Ave. S.

Look Out Sochi, Here Comes Kaitlyn!

BY KAREN BOSSICK

Gary Farrington chuck-led when he received a text from his daughter

Kaitlyn as he drove back to the Sun Valley area from Mammoth Mountain Monday morning.

“Remember when I thought I was going to go to the Olympics as a swimmer?” Kaitlyn texted.

Kaitlyn Farrington, 24, will be going to the Olympics. But it will be the Winter Olympics, rather than the Summer Olym-pics. And she’ll be wearing the uniform of a halfpipe snowboard-er rather than a swimsuit.

Farrington, who grew up near Bellevue, qualified for a trip to Sochi via a stellar run in snowboard halfpipe’s fifth and final Olympic selection event on Sunday.

Her 91.40 score even topped three-time Olympian Kelly Clark’s 90.40 points. Clark, a 2002 Olympic gold medalist from West Dover, Vt., had won the four previous Olympic qualifying races this winter.

“She made it with a huge win over the other girls,” said her proud father. “She had the most technical run of any of the girls. The other girls were having trouble because they were trying to catch up, knowing they had to do something spectacular to beat that run.”

Farrington appeared to be in a tight race with two-time Olympian Gretchen Bleiler, an Olympic silver medalist, for the final berth on the Olympic team after placing fourth and sixth in Friday’s qualifiers.

But on Sunday she strung together a straight-air, backside 900, alley-540 pop tart, switch backside 720, backside 540 and frontside 720 that ignited the crowd and earned her her first Grand Prix win of the year.

“She tried something differ-ent on her last run on Friday, perfected it on Saturday, and by Sunday morning she was on fire,” said Gary Farrington, who was at Mammoth Mountain to witness the run, along with Farrington’s mother Suz Locke, a couple of sets of aunts and un-cles, and a handful of friends.

“The judges recognized it and scored it for what she deserved,” Gary Farrington added.

Andy Gilbert, who heads up the Sun Valley Ski Educa-tion Foundation’s snowboard program, was trying to watch Farrington’s race with young snowboard racers in the SVSEF locker room. But NBC was hav-ing technical difficulties with its streaming feed.

“All of a sudden my phone started going berserk as people started calling and texting about her run,” Gilbert said. “Her run was really unique—that’s what she got rewarded for. It was creative. It was difficult. It was very technical. It’s going to be exciting to see what she does in Sochi.”

Farrington grew up on a cattle ranch with 250 cows and 26 horses. An athletic girl, she rode horses and drove a hay truck. She also excelled at soccer and swimming, pulling herself out of bed every morning to attend practice at 6:30.

She and her older sister—Jes-salyn Scheinberg—both learned to ski at age 3 and demanded to move on to Bald Mountain after four times on Dollar.

“She likes to have fun. She has a huge smile, is full of energy and makes the best of everything,” said her mother, Suz Locke, who says she has been walking around in a bubble in between fielding requests for photos from NBC and other media.

Farrington tried snowboard-ing at 8 and joined the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation program at the urging of her best friend.

“We knew from the get-go we had something there,” Gilbert recalled. “It had a lot to do with her attitude and work ethic. She loves to have a good time. But when it’s time to work, it’s time to work, and that’s what got her to this point.”

Four years ago Kaitlyn didn’t even want to talk about the Olympics—it wasn’t in her sights, Gary Farrington said. But every she left to spend the summer training in New Zealand, she has talked about nothing else.

“To have it come true is so cool—the whole thing is just a dream, and Kaitlyn feels the same way,” her father said. “To see her on the stage being announced for the team—it was just unbelievable, just an unbe-lievable moment.”

There’s talk of the U.S. Olym-pic women’s snowboard halfpipe team sweeping the podium in Sochi.

Gilbert said Farrington is being talked about in the same breath as Kelly Clark and Olym-pic gold medalist Torah Bright of Australia—in part, because she’s the only girl who’s beaten Kelly Clark in the past two years.

The 5-foot-4 Farrington, who will compete in the X Games in Aspen this weekend, took the 2012 Women’s Snowboard Super-pipe title from Clark at the Dew Tour ION Mountain Champion-ships in Breckenridge, Colo., in 2012. Farrington was the 2012 U.S. Grand Prix overall cham-pion, the 2010 Dew Tour overall champion and the 2010 X Games Tignes gold medalist.

Gary Farrington, a semi-re-tired builder who raises and rides horses for area ranches, said he would be spending the next couple of days checking on visas and plane flights to Sochi for himself and Katilyn’s mother.

“We live in an amazing community. Already I’m getting phone calls and texts from peo-

Kaitlyn, The Fourth Local Snowboarder

To Compete In Olympics

The four-woman U.S. Olym-pic halfpipe team head-ing to Sochi will include

Kaitlyn Farrington; Kelly Clark, 2006 Olympic champion, and 2010 silver medalist Hannah Teter of Belmont, Vt.; and 2013 world champion Arielle Gold, of Steamboat Springs, Colo.

The U.S. men’s team includes Taylor Gold—Arielle’s brother; Greg Bretz, of Mammoth Lakes, Calif.; Danny Davis of Truckee, Calif.; and Shaun White, of Carlsbad, Calif.

The SVSEF’s Gold Team member Chase Josey finished 10th in the Grand Prix overall standings.

Farrington is the first snow-board halfpipe athlete from the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation to make it to the Olympics.

Snowboarder Sondra Van Ert raced in the 1998 Nagano Olym-pics and the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Graham Watanabe competed in snowboardcross at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

And Aprilia Hagglof, who grew up in the Wood River Valley, raced for Sweden in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, thanks to her dual citizenship.

Party KickoffBY KAREN BOSSICK

There’ll be more than an air horn signaling the start to the Ski the Rails to kick off the 10-day Sun Valley Nordic Festival this year.

The annual festival will kick off with a free party from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at Ketchum Town Plaza across from Atkinsons’ Market in Ketchum.

Barbecue Bob and the Bobos will perform.

Reid Pletcher, who will guide local skier Jake Adicoff at the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi, Rus-sia, will perform a fire-juggling dance.

Sigi Vogl will don his lederho-sen and perform the Bavarian spoons.

Dick Fosbury, who wowed the world with his Fosbury Flop over the high bars at the 1968 Sum-mer Olympics in Mexico City, will conduct a send-off for local Paralympians and Olympians like hockey player Hilary Knight headed to Sochi.

And Jordan Hawkes is putting together a loud, lively and quick fashion show with Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation Gold Team members modeling wear from The Gold Mine thrift store, as well as Backwoods Mountain Sports, The Elephant’s Perch and Bavarian Soul outdoor stores.

“Everyone tells me the fire dancing is outrageous and Sigi’s dancing spoons act is hilarious. And, given the fact that The Gold Mine is the source of many

Sigi Vogl demonstrates his Bavarian spoon dance act to Muffy Ritz.

of the fashions, who knows what Jordan will come up with?!” said organizer Tom Pomeroy.

“The Bobos haven’t played together in a few years, yet they have a great band with Josh Kelly, who went on the road as a drummer with Bruce Willis’ band; Mark Slocum, who plays with The Heaters; Jim Paisley; and, of course, Barbecue Bob,” Pomeroy added.

The Sawtooth Club, which is sponsoring the celebration, will have food and wine available. There also will be food provided by The Sawtooth Brewery, Eno-teca and The Haven.

No matter what the weather, it’s happening, Pomeroy said. There’ll be five outdoor fire pits stationed around the plaza to keep people warm.

“The idea was to lengthen the festival by one night to make it two full weekends. We want to let people know how great the Nordic skiing is here in NordicTown USA. We want to try to create one more event for out-of-town visitors so they’ll know there’s a lot of things to do during the festival,” Pomeroy said.

“We already know that regis-tration for the Boulder Mountain Tour is at an all-time high with 25 percent of those from outside the community. And we want to remind people that for $49 they can ski for nine days on every trail from Bellevue to the Saw-tooth Valley around Stanley on a $49 Sun Valley Nordic Festival ski pass.” tws

movie review

BY JONATHAN KANE

In Spike Jonze’s new film, Her, we have a love story for our times. The tale is

a cautionary one – a look at our new technology-driven age but also a profound one that touches on what is the meaning of love in all its incarnations. It also marks the next step in the career of a director that already has gotten our attention with his remarkable music videos and his three previous efforts – Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Where The Wild Things Are. This is also Jonze’s first original screenplay for which he just won the Golden Globe – something that was well deserved.

The story follows Joaquin Phoenix and is set in the near future in Los Angeles. Phoenix is reeling from a separation from his wife (a fine Rooney Mara) and has slowly collapsed into himself socially and spiritual-ly. His job, oddly enough, is to compose letters for other people based on profiles of their lives. Rich in detail and emotions, the letters serve as a stark contrast to his own condition. Seeing an

ad for a new operating system, the first artificially intelligent operating system, he decides to try it out. Billed as “an intuitive entity that listens to you and understands you and knows you,” Phoenix is slowly seduced by the sultry voice who calls herself Samantha. That voice is supplied by Scarlett Johanson in a tour de force performance. The role was originally played by Samantha Morton who was replaced in post-production. The fact that Johanson is so smoking hot in real life certainly adds to her aural appeal. The relation-ship evolves to a sexual one and soon Phoenix finds himself head over heels in love. But love is mysterious, as Jonze pays tribute to, and the tale of Her is ever evolving. See it and be mesmerized.

Seed Library Startup

BY KAREN BOSSICK

John Caccia wants to have a seed potluck. Specifi-cally, he wants to start a

seed-saving library or club in the Wood River Valley where mem-bers would exchange seeds from their favorite heirloom plants at the end of the season.

They would also distribute these seeds among some of the Valley’s major gardens, such as that at The Sage School. And, if they have any left over, they

John Caccia, a Ketchum jeweler, is starting a seed library.

might choose to sell them to the public. “Rater than rely on people from the outside, why not look here, get the most robust of our favorite varieties that are adapted to our local Sun Valley community,” said Caccia.

To that end Caccia has formed the Rocky Mountain Seed Proj-ect, a Ketchum-based seed-sav-ing research and development LLC.

And he will hold the initial meeting of the Wood River Seed Library at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23, at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, three miles south of Ketchum at Highway 75 and

Gimlet Road.The group would meet month-

ly, bringing in special speakers.There is only one other seed

library in Idaho—in Boise. But 150 seed libraries have recently sprouted throughout the nation, Caccia said.

Seed saving can address seed contamination dangers posed by GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, Caccia said. It also ensures that locally adapted seed varieties survive, helping to provide nutritious food should a manmade or nature-made catastrophe such as a drought strike. “It’s all about being food resilient and food secure,” he said.

Caccia, who has been garden-ing 20 years, has attended for-mer Wood River Valley resident Bill McDorman’s seed school in Arizona. McDorman’s seed library is the largest and most prestigious in the United States, Caccia said.

Caccia himself is contemplat-ing saving seeds from his prized garlic, kale, Yukon Gold potatoes and carrots.

“I can’t save every seed I want. But if you get even 10 people saving three or four varieties of their favorite seeds, then you’re accomplishing something,” he said. “I want to educate as many people as possible in the ancient ritual of seed saving.”

For information, call Caccia at 208.309.8557

BY VEE RILEY

Hanging in the narrow win-dow beside my front door is a heart made of dichro-

ic glass. It captures my atten-tion as it twirls around, leaving multi-colored hearts illuminated across the wall. During Decem-ber and January, each year, the sun casts a beam of light on this reflective heart. I sit in stillness and awe of the magical reflec-tions dancing their way into my living room. This strip of light creates a constellation of images on anything that is in its path; the ficus tree, the figurines, and the beaded lamp. As I watch the many heart reflections fluttering before me, I visualize all the peoples of the world longing for connection.

As a child living on a farm, at-tending a one-room schoolhouse, I had no conception of the world’s size… no TV and no radio. At the beginning of third grade I was handed a geography book, much larger than any of my other books. This new venture brought much excitement to my limited existence. Still, the world to me meant a globe on the teacher’s desk.

This morning, however, the energy of the sun is a perfect setting for my early morning ritual. I catch a glimpse of the new Spirituality & Health magazine on my library table. Opening the pages, I find 51 “micro-meditations” for the New Year, an article by Shiva Rea, pioneer in vinyasa flow yoga, a practice for tending the heart fire. I am sharing a few of these meditations so that perhaps you might incorporate them into your daily life. Pay attention to the moments during the day when you can stop and practice a heart meditation. Create a sacred space in your home or in nature and find your heart’s own creative flow. Experience a renewal and connection to those around you as well as people in far-off lands.

“It’s time to see that every

human being is a part of your community.”

-Thomas Moore author of “A Chapel of One’s Own”

(Spirituality & Health January/February 2014)

HeartConnections

Experience a natural expres-sion of your heart field extending beyond your body. Visualize the electromagnetic energy of your heart illumined from within like an inner sun, radiant in all directions.

Feel the sensations in your heart region—a heat, a shim-mering, a tiny vibration—as an awareness or a barometer of the quality of your inner heart fire.

When you are in sync—when your thoughts and feelings, brain waves and heart rhythms are in a unified flow—experience how this nonverbal knowing guides you as you move through the world.

It is true we live on a troubled planet with a great deal of un-certainty about the future. I no longer see the world as a globe on the teacher’s desk but rather as my extended family.

My ritual this morning is very sacred with the reflecting hearts spinning about. It reminds me to tend my own heart flame with as much light as possible. May it radiate like the sun in all directions branching out beyond my front door.

I had the honor of traveling

to Afghanistan to entertain the troops a few years back (U.S. Troops, BTW…) The shows varied from large military bases in Kabul to smaller “Forward Operating Bases”  deeper in the country accessible only by Blackhawk helicopters.  After the shows, the soldiers would always sur-round the other comedians and myself to shake our hands and thank us profusely for entertaining them.  It was a humbling experience.  You are thanking ME?  It was a difficult thing to convey to these dedicated men and woman, who have sacrificed so much to selflessly serve their country, that I owed them the gratitude. And doing shows for them was the LEAST I could do.It made me realize that a portion of my life should, and will, always be dedicated to sharing and giv-ing.

Looking back on 2013, we are still in awe of the in-credible level of involve-

ment from the Blaine County students, teachers, non-profits, and supporters of wow-stu-dents. There are a couple of stories that blew our minds and we plan to share a handful of these throughout the year.

Last year’s Wood River Middle School Blue Team designed a complete semes-ter curriculum around their wow-project. Each student created presentations that explained the non-profit they researched and made a case for why that organization should be chosen for the Blue Team’s engagement and combined donation. Out of 110 stu-dents, 7th grader Sammy Black made the winning pitch. She chose non-profit Expedition Inspiration, which funds breast cancer research. Black’s grand-mothers had both suffered from breast cancer and her heartfelt delivery made her presentation the clear winner to the Blue Team. Black really enjoyed the experience and added,

“It made me feel proud. It made me feel like I can actually make a difference in this world.”

But the Blue Team decided they could give even more than their donation of $25 per student. They purchased and hand-painted clay pots, planted them with beautiful amaryllis and sold them. Their total donation to Expedition Inspi-ration came in at over $5500. On check presentation day, the students heard from Expedition Inspiration Executive Director, Katie Powell and Boise cancer specialists including Dr. Paul Montgomery, who provided the students with an even deeper understanding of the treat-

ments and information that is available on cancer. It was a very proud day for everyone involved.

“I love the feeling you get when you know that you helped someone or did the right thing,”

wise words from Sammy Black. Through these projects it

is clear that the sky’s the limit with this group. Wow-students is excited to see what these students come up with for this year!

Fishing RepoRtTHE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JAN. 22 FROM PICABO ANGLER

The volume of fishing that can be found in and around the Wood

River Valley in the winter is truly staggering. The two main stays that we have, the Big Wood and Silver Creek are magnificent winter fisher-ies. The Big Wood is phenom-enal in the fact that anglers can fish nymphs, streamers and dry flies all on the same day, and find them all equally productive. The Big Wood also offers the Canyon fishery below Magic Dam. This can be an outstanding winter fishery when the temperatures are right. Streamer fishing is the mainstay but anglers can also strip nymphs, fish them un-der indicators, and they can find excellent dry fly opportu-nity from time to time. Silver Creek is a streamer angler’s dream in the winter, and lately the fishing has been outstanding! Some of the best Silver Creek “catch-ing” of the season. The river is open from the Hwy 20 Bridge downstream through Picabo. Access points include the Hwy 20 Bridge, the Willows, Point of Rocks and Picabo Bridge. The South Fork of the Boise is another wonderful place to fish. Mainly nymphs and dry fly fishing on the right day. The river can be fickle in the winter, but it can also be Nirvana. There is only one way to find out which day you will have… The Little Wood also offers a nice streamer fishery in the winter. The river is very quiet, and sometime the pools freeze over, but after a warm week, this can be a really interesting place to fish. The Malad near Hagerman is open to fish on a catch and release basis in the winter. It is a pocket water anglers dream! Fishing little nymphs and streamers is the way to go. Bring a camera as the Malad is a breathtaking fishery, with beautiful canyon water and tons and tons of character. Finally, Carp fishing the Snake River near Hagerman can be productive on nice calm days. Stripping nymphs to sited fish is the norm. Wade fishing or boat fishing are both great ways to go! There are two days left in the waterfowl season. This is your last chance to chase ducks and geese for the sea-son in Idaho. Upland hunters have until the end of the month to wrap up their season. Chukars, Huns and Quail are the lone targets left to pursue!

Happy Fishing and Hunting Everyone!

Doors at the nexStage Theatre will open at 6 p.m. with the program starting at 6:30 p.m. and films at 7 p.m. Proceeds from the event will go to support the Friends of the Sawtooth National Forest Ava-lanche Center (SNFAC) and The Satipo Kids Project which funds 40 school-age children from Peru to attend school. Tickets are $14 in advance and $15 at the door, available in Ketchum at Backwoods Mountain Sports, The Elephant’s Perch and Chapter One Bookstore. As in years past the Banff Mountain Film Festival photo tour contest winners will be on display at the nexStage Theatre each night of the shows. In addition, SNFAC will once again be hosting their 17th annual fundraising event at the theatre with a raffle as well as take-home coffee samples from the folks from the award-winning Canadian firm Kicking Horse Coffee for all attendees.

This year a full lineup of 17 different films will be shown over both nights. Content, as always, is incredibly diverse, including mountain culture, travel, human interest and a wide array of sports such as skiing, climbing and kayaking. Friday night’s showing will include the Grand Prize and People’s Choice Award-winning film, “North of the Sun,” which takes us on the journey of two young Norwegian adventurers who discover their own private playground on the cold Atlantic coast of Norway. Saturday night’s show promises a wide variety of human-interest films taking viewers from Ecuador with “El Ul-timo Hielero” to the Himalayas with Elizabeth Hawley, along with “Best Film” for climbing, “The Last Great Climb,” which takes rock stars Leo Houlding and Jason Pickles to Queen Maud Land in Antarctica.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival is an inspiring international film competition featuring the world’s best footage on mountain subjects. The original festival, which began in 1976, is held annually on the first weekend in November in Banff, Alberta, Canada. In 1986, the Banff Mountain Film Festival began an outreach program to bring the festival to other communities, touring to a total of three cities across Canada. The World Tour provides a first-class film experience in a local venue for those who cannot make the annual trek to the Canadian Rockies that now tours to hundreds of cities worldwide. This year marks the 14th year that the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour has come to the Sun Valley area.

student spotlight

BY JONATHAN KANE

Beau Boss, a Wood River High School senior, had a life-changing experience

last year when he traveled to India as part of the Compassion-ate Leaders program. Now in its third year, the Compassion-ate Leaders is a group of high school students whose goal is “to spread compassion around the world and show it in your own community,” said Boss. “It’s a lot like the movie Pay It Forward in that a little bit carries a lot of momentum. If you do one kind thing to another person and don’t look for credit, that person will be nice and show compas-sion for another.”

Born in Twin Falls, Boss moved here when he was six years old. “I love it here, espe-cially the skiing, the great sites and all the outdoor activities. I’ve been here 11 years so I’ve gotten used to the smaller town life than I had in Twin Falls. There is just so much less traffic and pedestrians and that’s really nice. Moving was challenging though because all my family is still in Twin and it was hard to leave everyone.”

Boss became involved with the Compassionate Leaders program by luck. “It was a week into my first semester as a junior and I was sitting in debate class and heard an announcement asking for anyone interested in travel-ing to India. I thought I could get out of class, so I checked it out,” he said with a laugh. “What I heard really blew me away and I instantaneously fell in love with the program and became very passionate about it. I was really inspired by the adventure and how much it would change me. I then had an interview and was accepted.”

The goal of the Compassionate Leaders students was to put in 100 hours of community service over the year, raise $52,000 for the trip and then travel to India for three weeks to help primarily at a Buddhist school in Ladok. There were 20 people involved, including teachers. “In the end, we raised $5,000 over our goal, which was pretty cool, so that money was put into this year’s totals.”

As for community service, Boss was already a member of the Key Club, which promotes service in the Valley, so his hours there counted toward his totals. “I put in a lot of work at the Animal Shelter, walk-ing dogs and learning how to properly bathe and care for the animals. I also helped people in Twin and read for kids at The Community Library in Ketchum.

It really felt great to give back and be thankful for all the things we have here. I felt that if people were willing to put in the time and money to send us to In-dia, it was the least we could do.

“In India, our main project was to build an earth bench made primarily from recycled plastic bottles. The class the year before had built a green-house, so we were adding to it. First we built a foundation out of gravel and then used 500 bottles for the bench. The whole experi-ence was amazing. It opened my eyes to see that different people are in need all over the world and that to make the earth a better place, we need to spread compassion to everyone, whether it be your neighbor or someone down the street. It also taught me to be more accepting and to treat people equally and fairly.”

D awn came soon enough. It seemed I had just fallen into a

smooth, oblivious sleep when the time came to rise. I should have been thankful that, at this altitude, I slept at all. Just touching a few common objects in the tent indicated that it was cold, real cold. I lived and walked to work in the moun-tains of Vermont in winter, so I knew sub-zero cold. I lay there, all bundled up, gathering the will to rise to face breakfast and the shadow of dawn. Ah, the wonderful, diligent Sher-pas to the rescue! They were bringing the hot beverages to the tents, calling out like street vendors, ‘coffee, tea, cocoa!’ Bless them. This was our version of breakfast in bed. It was just what I needed—the il-lusion of being fortified against the cold. In 10 minutes, the Sherpas came with another morale-warming round that gave me the will to get out of the bag and pack up. I threw everything out of the tent so it could be packed up and given to the porters. I emerged to face the music. The ridgetops, 2500 feet above camp, glowed in the pale rose sun. Even the light was frozen. By the time

Frozen Bodies, Soaring Hopes

the sun reached us, we’d be gone, heading for that light ‘so devoutly to be wished.’

We stood around, tapping our hands and toes. When leader Jack Turner saw my boots, he asked, with undis-guised contempt, ‘Where’d you get those pieces of crap?’ In retrospect, he was right. Mountaineering boots were the top of the line, heavy and stiff. Mine were insulated, but soft, bent, and much lighter. I didn’t feel like spending the money and the time it took to break them in. Two people here had Makalu double boots, the standard. I asked them how they were doing, and they were no better off than I was. They held crampons better, but from now on, we wouldn’t need crampons.

It was so cold the Sherpas ran the rudimentary breakfast to the table before it got cold. They were cold, too, and didn’t move from the kerosene stoves unless they had to. Trying to eat oatmeal was comical. First, I had to eat fast while it was still warm. My lips were badly chapped and as big as Angeli-na Jolie’s. It was tough getting the food in, especially past an ungainly long mustache. tws

I had frozen oatmeal all over my face, to the delight of the Sherpanis. At least one of them came by every day just to pull on it, and then she’d run off giggling. The Sherpas had no facial hair. Another necessity at this altitude was polarized mountaineering goggles with leather cups attached to keep the UV radiation away from tender tissue and to prevent snow blindness. Some people used additional tape to plug light leaks. I decided to take an additional dose of codeine. The first hour would be spent marching in the shade, and the rapid intake of cold air would renew the coughing spasms.

A tingling sensation in the limbs and the dizziness came gradually. At first I thought I was imagining it. Then I tried to shake it by moving brisk-ly and taking deep breaths. Before I knew it, I was sitting on the snow, looking up and around me in utter incompre-hension. In a few seconds I stood up with a sigh of relief. In typical male fashion I shrugged it off. ‘I am OK,’ I thought, but the drama was just beginning.

Smith-Lever Act Cele-brates a Century in age of social media.

In the age of Facebook and other social media, news flashes around the world in an instant. Finding a recipe for canning green beans requires just a few keystrokes. 4-H’ers become proficient photogra-phers with iPads without ever putting film in a camera.

When a senator from Geor-gia, Hoke Smith, met a repre-sentative from South Carolina, A.F. Lever, to author a bill a century ago, they wanted to help people tap into informa-tion flowing from the nation’s land-grant universities.

Signed into law May 8, 1914, by President Woodrow Wilson, the Smith-Lever Act created a national cooperative exten-sion service. The cooperators included federal, state and county governments. Their goal was providing people with research-based information that would improve their lives and livelihoods.

“The Smith-Lever Centenni-al provides an opportunity to highlight Extension’s past and also show how we’ve changed to meet the contemporary needs of people, businesses,

Cooperative Extension 1914-2014

and communities in Idaho,” said Charlotte Eberlein, University of Idaho Extension director.

A century ago, specially commissioned railroad cars housed movable “schools” that delivered education statewide. Today, Extension partners with 42 Idaho counties to house faculty in local Exten-sion offices. It provides work-shops, seminars, print media and web-based resources.

“As part of the Smith-Lever Centennial Celebration, we’re expanding our efforts to use social media, such as Face-book, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter, to deliver education and information,” said Eber-lein.

“Since its beginning, Exten-sion’s goal has been to provide practical education you can trust,” Eberlein said. “And we still believe introducing new ideas and practices, adapting research findings for practi-cal application and providing relevant and timely education improves lives and serves society.”

Don’t Disturb That Bird!

A Call For Sculpture Artists

BRIEFS

The fifth grade class at Com-munity School in Sun Valley has built approximately a dozen nesting boxes that they are plac-ing across town in an effort to assuage the kestrel population’s decline.

The American Kestrel, also known as a sparrow hawk, is one of the most common raptors in North America. Representa-tives from The Peregrine Fund, a Boise-based organization dedicated to bird conservation, said during a December visit to the school that the species has struggled to overcome habitat loss and increased competition from non-native species such as the European starling.

After hearing the presenta-tion, teacher Bev McNeal’s class swung into action, building 18” nesting boxes and preparing to place them across the Wood Riv-er Valley. McNeal said the goal is to help mitigate the effects of habitat loss on the kestrel population. The boxes must be elevated, on trees, fence posts or telephone poles, and facing an open field.

McNeal asks Wood River Valley residents who see the boxes to leave them undisturbed, allowing kestrels to nest without disruption. For more information on the project, or to offer up a spot for a nesting box, McNeal can be reached at 208.622.3960 ext. 151.

The City of Ketchum is seeking artists interested in showcasing their work for the sixth annual “Art on Fourth” outdoor exhibition. The select-ed three-dimensional artwork will be featured in the heart of downtown Ketchum, along the Fourth Street Heritage Corridor. Selected artists will receive a $500 stipend, and there is no fee to apply. The deadline for submissions is March 7, 2014.

Artists may submit images of up to three works for consider-ation. The call for artists, which provides detailed information on the submission process, can be found at www.ketchumidaho.org or by contacting the office of Sharon Arms, Arts & Events Coordinator at sarms@ketchu-midaho.org or 208.726.7820. The call is open to all artists, regard-less of their state of residence.

Alan and Wendy Pesky will present a look at their tour of ed-ucational institutions.

And other locals will present slides of their adventure travels and family vacations.

It’s all part of “Best Trip Ever! In 6 Minutes or Less!”

Which means you won’t get bleary-eyed watching three hours of someone’s travelogue.

The unique slide show will be shown as part of The Center’s “Wish You Were Here” multidis-ciplinary project, which boasts pictures people have photo-graphed or painted of popular vacation destinations.

It starts at 6:30 p.m. Thurs-day at The Center’s Ketchum location at Fifth and Washington streets.

financial planning

BY PATRICK BUCHANAN

Increasing life expec-tancies

mean you’re likely looking at a longer re-tirement than the previous generation of workers. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average person spends 20 years in retirement—while others put the figure at 30 years or longer. And financial advisors generally suggest you’ll need 70 to 80 percent of your annual pre-retirement income to main-tain your standard of living.

Will your retirement savings be up to the test? Here’s what to consider.

1. PICTURE YOUR RETIREMENT.

Whether you’re planning to travel extensively or kick back by a lake, your income will need to support your desired lifestyle. Once you decide how you’d prefer to spend your retirement days, you can map out a strategy that could help get you there.

Will Your Retirement Savings Last?

2. ASSESS YOUR FINANCES. Take a realistic look at your current financial position. Note such things as how much you’ve saved, the debt level you’re carrying, the amount of life and disability insurance you carry and what you have available in emergency funds. Talk with a financial professional and your State Farm® agent about your options.

3. INCREASE SAVINGS. It’s never too early—or too late—to add to your savings. If you’ve got plenty of time before retirement, save as much as you can to take advantage of interest compounding. If retirement is near, look into catch-up contri-butions, which can help improve your financial picture. Even small gains matter; increasing your retirement contribution by 1 to 2 percent each year adds up over time. Evaluate your savings progress with our retirement calculator.

4. KNOCK OUT DEBT. Most financial professionals recommend keeping debt level manageable—no more than 35 percent of your income. Getting rid of high-interest debt such as credit card balances is always a good idea. And before you retire,

tws

Pat Buchanan

you’ll want to eliminate as much debt as possible so that you aren’t servicing it with your savings. Consider paying off your home before you stop working, too.

5. MONITOR YOUR PLANS. Review your retirement plans with a financial professional at least annually to see that they still work for you. (It’s also a good idea to review your insurance coverage periodically, and any time your life changes, such as when you marry or have a baby.) As you near retirement, you might decide to shift some of your savings to income-pro-ducing investments, such as annuities. Or, to keep your nest egg intact, your plan may be to continue working a few years more into retirement.

To review your insurance cov-erage as part of your retirement and financial strategy, contact State Farm agent Patrick Bu-chanan

This was really perfect when we had that bbbrrrr weather with a high of

2 degrees F. that one day, but it’s still good for any time this winter. It’s also really nice to serve for a crowd with some hot cider or cold dark beer. There are a lot of ingredients in this recipe and a lot of chop-chop, but it’s worth the end result in its unique taste. And maybe you have gadgets to help with the chopping. Then you just throw it all into a big pot and let it cook for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Frankly, I like to make this the day before and let the ingredients meld even more. I serve this either with warm corn tortillas, warm cornbread or those light drop bis-cuits, the recipe for which I just recently gave out. And, of course, it would also be nice served on a bed of rice. Hint: I use gloves to chop the chilies and, yes, I did not de-seed them and the chili is a bit “warm” but definitely not too “warm” even for those who are sensitive to the “hot” of the unseeded chilies. I think that has to do with the inclusion of some of the other ingredients to offset the chili heat.

Ingredients:3 Tbsp. olive oil3 lbs. boneless pork shoulder,

trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

2 yellow onions, chopped6 cloves garlic, chopped2 red bell peppers, chopped2 Anaheim chilies, chopped1 Poblano chili chopped1 Habanero chili, minced3 Chipotle chilies, canned in

Adobo Sauce, chopped3 C. diced pumpkin or some-

thing similar2 C. frozen whole-kernel corn1 (28-oz.) can crushed toma-

toes, undrained1 (6-oz.) can tomato paste2 (15-oz.) cans kidney beans,

drained and rinsed1 (12-oz.) bottle dark beer1 C. strong black coffee4 C. chicken broth1 Tbsp. ground cumin1 Tbsp. dried oregano1/4 C. packed brown sugarSour cream (for garnish)Sliced green onions (for gar-

nish)Shredded cheddar, jack or

Mexican cheese mix (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Heat a heavy-bottomed 8-qt. or larger stockpot over medi-um-high heat. Swirl in the olive oil and add the pork; stir every few minutes until the pork is pinkish-brown on all sides (about 10 minutes).

2. Stir in the onion and garlic and sweat until they are glis-tening and translucent (about 5 minutes).

3. Add the medley of peppers and cook (about 5 minutes).

4. Add the pumpkin, corn, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, ONE can of kidney beans, beer, coffee and chicken broth. Stir in the cumin, oregano and brown sugar. Turn heat to high and bring to a rolling boil; lower the heat and simmer UNCOVERED for 1 hour.

5. Add the remaining can of kidney beans, stir to combine and simmer for 1/2 to 1 hour more—UNCOVERED.

6. Serve with a handful of shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of green onions on top.

Shook Twins to Play in Ketchum/Sun Valley Hailing from the indie music Mecca of Portland, Ore., the Shook Twins have enlisted Grammy Award-nominated producer Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Fleet Foxes, Brandi Carlile) for their third full-length studio album, What We Do, to be released in April. It’s no wonder the twentysomething Shook Twins are gaining national attention for their haunting indie-folk sound. Since relocating to Portland in December 2009, they’ve performed alongside Carolina Chocolate Drops, Laura Veirs, Langhorne Slim, and even hosted The Lumineers (prior to their mega-hit, “Ho-Hey”) at their singular house concerts. Wesley Schultz, co-founder of The Lumineers, says, “The Shook Twins helped us out when we were coming up, letting us crash on couches and organizing house shows. The Shook Twins have that DIY spirit...” Identical twins, Katelyn and Laurie Shook, certainly are a DIY success story; they’ve raised $26,734 via Kickstarter to record What We Do with Ryan Hadlock at Bear Creek Studios (Seattle).

Two sweepers sweep the ice furiously with 4-foot brooms, trying to create the ideal path for the stone to knock opponents’ stones out of the way as it lands on the target. Water droplets sprayed on the ice create tiny “pebbles” on the ice surface that help the stone’s grip. So much strategy is involved that curl-ing’s been called “chess on ice.” “You can even twist the handle so the rock curves if you want to put it behind other stones,” Foster adds.

Points are scored for stones closest to the bull’s eye after each team has thrown its eight stones. “It’s kind of like shuffle-board,” says Lindsley. Curling stones culled from Ailsa Craig have been used in every Olym-pics in which curling was a med-al sport since 1924. Reinstated in the 1998 Winter Olympics, curling is particularly popular in Canada where large TV audi-ences watch curling telecasts and it’s the provincial sport of Saskatchewan.

PUTTING THE CURL IN THE STONE from page 1

Foster, who coached junior hockey for seven years and serves as secretary for Hailey Ice, couldn’t resist introducing curling here. After all, he grew up 200 feet south of the Canadi-an border near North Dakota’s International Peace Garden. “I took curling for P.E. class,” Foster recounts. “When people get together to play curling, it’s called a ‘bonspiel,’ which means ‘good game.’ It’s popular because you can drink beer while you do it. And, it’s great for small towns in Canada or North Dakota where there’s not a lot else to do.”

Foster attended the Boise Curling Club’s inaugural Sawtooth Outdoor Bonspiel in Stanley last year.

“It’s amazing because I can’t think of any rink in our nation that has the views that you get at the outdoor ice rink in Stanley,” he says. “I think the Stanley players have an advan-tage because the other players are too busy looking around—their jaws are hitting the rink at the awesome views.”

BRIEFS

Expedition Asia: Flyfishing Uttarakhand and Jurassic ParkAccomplished expedition leader, fishing guide and casting instructor Bryant Dunn has been flyfishing

the Himalayas since 2007. He will share those adventures at the Hailey Public Library on Feb. 11 from 6-7:30 p.m. All are welcome.

As an outdoorsman, Dunn wears many hats. He is a Sun Valley ski patrol supervisor, who has been a Wood River Valley resident and flyfishing guide for more than 20 years. He has explored 50 countries on six continents, hosted outdoor television programs, and run his stateside business, Sun Valley Outfitters.

When hired in 2007 to journey to Bhutan and assess the fishability of the kingdom, Dunn immediately felt at home walking through the jungles and casting on top of the world. He has pioneered some of the most remote fishing destinations in the Himalayan range and offers guided flyfishing tours in Bhutan, India and Thailand; his talk will address these three locations.

Dunn’s passion for the unique Himalayan setting inspired him to begin a non-profit conservation proj-ect, Himalayan Rivers United, which focuses on educating indigenous populations on the importance of responsible river stewardship.

To inquire about this talk or other events at the Hailey Public Library, please call 208.788.2036, or find us online: HaileyPublicLibrary.org

Hailey will be part of Ride Idaho again this summer.

About 350 cyclists from 38 states and Canada are expected to take part in the 400-mile supported ride that will start in Twin Falls on Aug. 2.

This year’s ride will take cyclists past some of Idaho’s geo-logical wonders, travel through Idaho’s food basket and along several scenic byways.

The ride will start at Twin Falls’ Centennial Park over-looking the 500-foot-deep Snake River Canyon. It will spend two days in Castle Rocks State Park and City of the Rocks National Reserve. Then it will travel to Albion, Declo, Rupert, Shoshone and Hailey where riders will get a layover day.

There will be a street party in Hailey where Boise’s High Street Band will play dance music from the 1950s to today’s hip hop.

After the layover, riders will bike to Hagerman and Thousand Springs State Park before ending back in Twin Falls on Aug. 9.

This will be the 10th tour for Ride Idaho, which promotes an Idaho region each year in hopes that the riders will return with their families. It also strives to make an economic impact while in the community, thanks to the 350 cyclists and some 100 sup-port staff and family members in tow.

Sagle resident Dennis Rieger, who took time to true his wheel while parked in the field outside Hailey Elementary School during the 2011 Ride Idaho, said you shouldn’t come on a ride expecting to lose a few pounds: “Lots and lots and lots of food. Even between breakfast and lunch they keep you piled with energy bars, bananas and other snacks.”

Ride Idahoto Return to Hailey

Sawtooth Society Welcomes CondeThe Sawtooth Society is pleased to announce its new hire, Kelly Conde, as its permanent and full-

time volunteer/membership coordinator. Conde is a graduate of the University of Montana with a master’s degree in environmental journalism with a focus on policy.

A native of Boise, Conde said that while growing up she always made a summer trip to Stanley with her family. During her undergraduate years at Montana State University, where she received a degree in environmental science, Conde also worked for a watershed hydrology lab, which had a field site near Stanley.

“I am heading up the new Austin Kraal Memorial Volunteer program, which is already the largest volunteer program aimed at helping to accomplish critical projects on the ground in the Sawtooth NRA,” Conde said. “I am very excited about getting people out there and working and we have a variety of proj-ects scheduled for this summer, which groups of all ages and abilities can accomplish. One of my goals is to make it easy to volunteer—providing the project, equipment, training and even the lunches!”

Conde is also in charge of membership outreach and the Sawtooth Society’s social media where she plans to bring her creativity to get the word out about the Society and help sponsor and organize events with Society partners who also care deeply about the Sawtooth NRA.

“Getting more traffic on our Facebook and website pages so everyone can learn about what we are do-ing to help the Sawtooth NRA is one of my main goals,” Conde said. “I will also be doing additional policy work for the Society, which will be a great opportunity to more fully use my degrees.”

Executive Director Gary O’Malley said, “We’re very fortunate to have someone with Kelly’s educational and professional background take on this new and growing segment of our work. I’m confident that with Kelly’s energy and passion, she will take the good work that has been done to date to a completely new level.”

The Sawtooth Society offers memberships, programs, grants and volunteer opportunities to benefit the area and has a number of upcoming volunteer projects and donation opportunities for getting involved. For details and more information, visit the Sawtooth Society’s www.sawtoothsociety.org or e-mail

kelly@sawtoothsociety.org.

In 2011, for instance, cyclists rode up and down the Valley, riding Sun Valley’s gondola and shopping in local stores with the help of $12,000 in Chamber bucks Ride Idaho bought and dispersed among riders.

The ride includes three square meals a day and nightly enter-tainment.

SAG—support and gear—ve-hicles carry luggage and provide for first-aid and flat tires. And refreshments, including glu-ten-free snacks, will be provided along the way.

Riders camp out in towns along the way where they are treated to food and massages. Mobile shower stops and trav-eling beer gardens accompany the riders. And there’s even an optional porter service that includes tent setup, two lawn chairs and fresh towels every day.

Cost is $795.The non-profit organization

makes donations in each commu-nity it stops in.

Last time it stopped in Hailey in 2011, for instance, Ride Idaho donated a $2,600 Neutron Spinner playground equipment to Hailey Elementary. The playground equipment has proved immensely popular with children.

The organization also donated bicycle racks to the Hailey rodeo and ice arena.

Day of BlissWhen my brother, a film direc-

tor, offered to create my weddingvideo, I was thrilled. Little did Iknow the disasters he would catchon film. It started when my hus-band-to-be tripped, falling intothe flowers and potted plants. Hiswhite tuxedo was covered in dirt.Although we brushed it off, thetrouble continued.

During our vows the priestcalled me by the wrong name, mybridesmaid fainted and wewalked out of the ceremony to alimo with a flat tire.

You can imagine my nervous-ness when my brother finallygave me the wedding video.

How did it come out? I timidlyasked.

"Let's just say it's less like awedding video," he laughed, "andmore like a romantic comedy."

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,When my boyfriend asked me tomarry him, it was the happiestday of my life. Then we startedthe planning the wedding.Flowers, seating arrangements,menus; it was all very over-whelming, and the prices wereeven worse. We've narroweddown all the costs, exceptfor a videographer. Myfiancé says we should set-tle for pictures since theonly wedding videos he’s everseen appear on America'sFunniest Home Videos. I want akeepsake of the special day, butsadly our budget doesn't allowfor much. I've interviewed all myfriend's references, but they areway too expensive. I've sincefound a videographer adver-tised in the classifieds, but hisad basically said that he has acamera and can make DVD's.His rates are very reasonable,but can he handle the job?What should I consider if I hire avideographer?

• • •Cash: Nowadays many people

have video cameras and can makeDVDs. However, it sounds like hisadvertisement may have oversim-plified the job. Regardless of howhis ad was written, he may still be agood fit for your wedding.

Carry: Having a DVD of yourwedding will be a great advantagefor your husband. Unlike VHStapes, he can’t accidently tapeover the wedding video with thebig game!

Cash: As you've experienced,the cost of a wedding can escalatequickly and the same is true of avideographer. For example, thecost depends on whether he worksalone or comes with assistants andmultiple cameras. It would alsodepend on whether you want rawfootage of the event or a fully edit-ed video.

Carry: Since you have friendswho hired videographers, watchtheir wedding videos to see whatyou like and don't like. After all,you may not want 15 minutes of a

congo line or the chicken dance!Cash: Then make a list of the

events you definitely want record-ed. Gather some pictures andnames of people the videographershould include in the video.

Carry: Now when you talk tothe videographer, you're prepared.Ask to see his prior work so youcan judge the quality and see if itmeets your needs.

Cash: If cost is still a concern,consider hiring someone to justrecord the raw footage. Then at alater date when your budgetallows, you could always have itedited into a final video.

Carry: And if he happens tocapture something for AmericasFunniest Home Videos, the wholeexperience could pay for itself!

Ask the Guys

Do they deliver bouquets or linoleum?

Second ThoughtsAccording to a survey by The

Wedding & Event VideographersAssociation (WEVA), only abouthalf of all brides planning a wed-ding consider videotaping one ofthe top 10 bridal services to hire.However, after their big day, theydeemed it much more important,with nearly 79% then ranking it inthe top 10. The numbers wereeven more dramatic among brideswho didn't record their event atall. Nearly 60% of those brideswished they had videotaped theirwedding.Uniquely Yours

Weddings can be as unique asthe people getting married. Andthe average cost of tying the knotis staggering at nearly $27,000 forthe event. According to annualsurveys, nearly 57% of all wed-dings follow a traditional routeand have their ceremony at achurch, hotel or country club. Theremaining couples choose alterna-tive paths. It's estimated that 19%of weddings are casual, 21% areunique, like skydiving or in a hotair balloon, and about 4% aresuper extravagant.
