Symposium Kicks off with Free Lecture

TonightBy Karen BoSSicK

A new way to expand your mind kicks off tonight when the newly formed nonprofit Saw-

tooth institute kicks off its symposium on Russia’s Golden Age.

The six-week symposium will open tonight with a free introductory lecture by Russian scholar Fritz Brun. It will be followed by presentations on the visual arts, drama and a free presentation on 19th century Russian classical music.

There will also be a four-week semi-nar examining Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment.”

Board member Jon Maksik, former headmaster at The Community School and a founding member of the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, said members of the Sawtooth Institute hope this is the first of many such symposiums.

“We feel there is a need and desire in the community for something resembling a university extension program. There are many opportuni-ties for one-night lectures but nothing for people who want to delve in a little deeper. We feel there’s no limit to the things we can do,” he added.

Maksik said Russia’s Golden Age was picked because the topic lends itself to multidisciplinary studies, al-lowing the opportunity to involve such nonprofit arts organizations as the Sun Valley Summer Symphony and the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.

Sun Valley Center for the Arts Cu-rator Kristin Poole and Elaine French will provide presentations on the visual arts Dec. 1 and 8. Peter Grun-berg, who lectures for the symphony, will lead a discussion on music on Dec. 14. Fritz Brun, former theater director for The Community School, will lead two classes on Russian theater Nov. 10 and 15. And Jon Maksik will lead the seminar on “Crime and Punishment” Nov. 16 and 30 and Dec. 7 and 13.

A final celebration will be held Dec. 16.

All events start at 7 p.m. at The Community Library, which is involved in the symposium, along with the Col-lege of Southern Idaho.

Brun, who will give an overview of 19th and 20th century Russian cul-ture at 7 tonight at The Community Library, is a native of Denmark who studied Russian at the University of Copenhagen, attended graduate theater school in England and has a Ph.D. from Stanford. He has taught at the university level.

“He’s quite an academic,” said Maksik. “And anyone who has ever seen Fritz speak in public knows he is never boring. He’s always quite dramatic.”

Tonight’s open lecture and the symphony presentation on Dec. 14 are free. Tuition will be charged for the other sessions. To sign up for courses, contact the College of Southern Idaho at 788-2033 or www.csi.edu/blaine

For other information, contact Jon or Leslie Maksik at 726-8680, Ray Cairncross at 725-5530 or go to www.thecommunitylibrary.org.

A WorLd oF FLAvor Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK

Nadina Keller hails from Buenos Aires. Martha and Beatriz Avila grew up in the quiet colonial-style

town of Durango in northern Mexico.Together they are introducing Sun

Valley to a fusion of flavors that emanate from their native lands. But they’re not content to leave it at that. This trio is fusing the flavors of their homelands with flavors and textures of Italy, Spain, India, Japan and other cultures, as well.

“For me, food is a mix of flavors, tech-niques and my own personality, which come together to create what I call ‘the language of cuisine,’ ” said Keller. “It is a great way to travel without leaving your home.”

The three opened Sayvour café in a former sushi restaurant in The Courtyard at 360 East Avenue, in Ketchum, nearly a year ago.

The café offers a variety of home-baked chocolate croissants, cinnamon rolls, brownie pops and lunch items, as well as take-out dinner items such as macaroni and cheese, chicken mole, ravioli, fettuc-cini and lasagna.

The will celebrate their first anniver-sary on Dec. 1 with chips and champagne. And on Dec. 3 they will hold a beer-tast-ing and food-pairing party open to the public.

They also offer special afternoons, such as Sushi Fridays and Tapas Thursdays, sporting wine and marinated salmon skewers, lemon chicken skewers and beef tenderloin bits. And they offer special din-ners on Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year’s.

The three, joined by Martha and Beatriz’s mother, have been constants at the Ketchum Farmers’ Market where they sell homemade potato chips, salad dressings and chimichurri sauce for use on grilled shrimp and pasta.

And they’re not afraid to tackle special orders—from specialty picnics to private parties catered at their restaurant.

Once, for instance, they prepared three dinners at their restaurant for a group of fishermen. The first night featured an

Argentinean grill of tenderloin, ribeye steak, blood sausage and chili chorizo. The second was a New Orleans dinner and the third a fusion of Italian and Spanish dishes, such as paella and ciop-pino.

“We like to do theme parties. And we love to explore the world of food and research and experiment with flavors,” said Martha Avila. “That’s one of the nice things about having our own business. The sky’s the limit.”

When Nicole Kohn wanted a blue polka dot cake with French piping for a little girl’s birthday, the three obliged without batting an eye.

“Their food is wonderful, their qual-ity excellent, and they’re so creative and versatile. It’s really great for such a small community to have such a treasure—and that’s coming from a former New York food snob,” said Kohn.

The trio also host cooking classes.Keller, who used to work for Cristina’s,

showed students how to cook empanadas, dulce de leche, flan and chimichurri.

Martha Avila presented a Mexican cooking class that eschewed enchiladas for an array of dishes representative of Mexico’s three regions. The menu included a Bean and Cheese Duo Cream Soup that sported a barista’s artistry.

It also included crepes with a Mexican

caramel and pecans; yellow wax peppers stuffed with shrimp and seasonings; shrimp and pork marinated in a mix of annatto seed paste and orange juice; and a stuffed poblano pepper dish sporting the Mexican national colors.

“I don’t cook Tex-Mex with sour cream and cheddar cheese—what we call ‘American cheese,’ ” said Avila. “There’s so much we can explore and try and taste. And that’s what we’re all about here at Sayvour.”

aBoVe: Beatriz avila prepares a tray full of chiles en nogada.

toP (l-r): chimichurri is a staple at argentinean barbecues. and it’s a staple at Sayvour, as well.chiles en nogada, or stuffed poblano peppers, sport the national green, red and white colors of mexico and are a meal in and of themselves.nadina Keller prepares empanadas stuffed with meat during a demonstration of argentinean cooking.these crepes with a mexican caramel sauce and pecans can be made ahead of time and reheat-ed.

martha avila pours the cream made of beans and the cream made of gouda, chihauhau and mozzarella cheese simultaneously so the Bean and cheese duo cream Soup takes on the air of an artistic coffee.

Moira Smiley and voCo Perform FridayBy Karen BoSSicK

Moira Smiley calls her mother tongue “tradi-tional folk song.”

It has taken her around the world, singing with an Eastern European Vocal Ensemble and even premiering a new folk-opera that was launched in the Ukraine.

And it’s prompted her to form her own group VOCO, which sings the gamut from Eastern European medleys performed in Croatian and Bulgarian to full-on Appalachian and Irish ballads.

Smiley and VOCO—made up of April Guthrie and Inga Swearingen—will bring their mix of original folk and African tunes to Sun Valley on Friday when they perform at the Sun Valley Opera House. The 6:30 p.m. concert is the first concert of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ 2011/2012 Performing Art Series.

“For me, music is a bit of a spiritual quest,” said Smiley. “I like having as wide a musical palette as I can. I like showing how flexible the human voice is and how different one culture is from another—it makes us listen a little bit more.”

Smile and VOCO’s perfor-mance is a full-body perfor-mance—from their tight-knit harmonies to their boot slap-ping beats. Occasionally, they augment their vocal symphonies with cello, banjo and accordion.

Their style is perfect for the intimate atmosphere of the winter concerts, said Kristine Bretall, The Center’s director of marketing and performing arts. “It’s the kind of exacting harmony that literally gives you goose bumps.”

Smiley has been writing music since she was 6, focusing on the voice as her instrument of choice.

“I grew up in a small moun-tain town in Vermont around people who were interested in folk dancing and music. It was a combination of granola and heady intellectualism interested in learning and preserving old time music,” said Smiley, who got a degree in Early Music Vocal Performance at Indiana University School of Music.

Smiley’s “Stand in the River” won Best Original Song in the National Harmony Sweepstakes, and she and VOCO were named

National A Cappella Champions in 2007.

Her songs are so true to form that occasionally someone hands her a recording of her own song, telling her “this is an old song you might like.”

The group has released two CDs: “Small Worlds” and “Circle, Square, Diamond and Flag.”

What the different cultures have in common is a love of harmony and singing together, said Smiley.

But there are differences, she added: “A lot of the songs we do from Eastern Europe are more expressionistic—expressing emo-tions is more important than the story. Appalachian music, in contrast is more about the storytelling.”

While here, Smiley and VOCO will work with vocal groups at Wood River High School. The students will perform on stage with Smiley and VOCO during Friday’s concert.

Tickets are $20 for Center members, $30 for non-members and $10 for students, available at www.sunvalleycenter.org or by calling 208-726-9491.

new york actress Hanna cheek performed this powerful one-woman play.courteSy PHoto: KirSten SHultZ

By Karen BoSSicK

A couple hundred school stu-dents learned a powerful lesson about how intercon-

nected human beings are this past week.

The lesson came from the theater stage as Company of Fools presented Clay McLeod Chapman’s “Commencement.”

The one-woman play was the first the Fools has ever commis-sioned. And the professional theater company’s first attempt at producing an original play proved to be a mesmerizing one in the hands of the young New York playwright who once taught a playwriting class to Wood River youth.

“Commencement” presents a high school shooting from three perspectives: the mother of the shooter, a victim of the shooter and the victim’s mother.

It is both sobering and uplift-ing as the ripple effects expand between those three, culminat-ing in a commencement speech written by the victim.

New York actress Hanna Cheek stilled the audience as she played out the shooter’s mother, who was kept at arm’s length from society following the shoot-ing, just as her son had been ostracized by his peers before the shooting.

She followed that up with the sometimes giddy performance of a high school student who tried to reach out to the boy—“only ghosts can see other ghosts,” she wrote in the margins of a library book.

Cheek concluded the hour-long performance with a heart-rend-ing sketch of the girl’s mother who took solace in her dead daughter’s commencement

speech.“What next?” it asked. “Any-

thing we want!” Cheek told the students that

the play was not about feeling bad for the bad guy but rather a way to show how an event like that affects everyone.

“It reminds us that what we can do is talk about it and make art about it,” she added.

Sarah Rau, a 13-year-old stu-dent at The Sage School, said it was the best play she’d ever seen.

“I can’t believe how good an actor (Hanna) was,” she said. “It was really sad, but it had a point as well. It taught me how there’s a different side to every story.”

Commencement is a Powerful Hour on Stage

“I can’t believe how

good an actor (Hanna) was. It was really

sad, but it had a point as well.

It taught me how there’s a different side to ever story.”

With ski season loom-ing, Sun Valley area residents have an

opportunity to test themselves against competitors throughout the world in the Third Annual SkiErg World Sprints Friday through Sunday at the Blaine County Recreation District’s FitWorks in the Community Campus in Hailey.

FitWorks is making the pull-down machine available to members and non-members alike on those days.

Users can test themselves in a 1,000-meter sprint and record their time at Concept2 Logbook by 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14.

“It’s a cool way to see how you stack up against others,” said Janelle Conners, FitWorks spokesperson.

The SkiErg machine is like double poling on classic skis. It’s a great training tool for skiing. And it’s a good workout for those who aren’t skiers, Conners said.

“Basically, it’s an all-out sprint for a kilometer, which is just over a half-mile,” she said. “For top women, it’ll probably take about four minutes—and it’s not an easy four minutes. For the average person, it’ll probably take about 10 minutes.”

Fitworks is participating in the event to promote the fact that it has the equipment, Con-ners said.

“There’s probably some people around here who can post some top times,” Conners said. “But, even if you can’t come close to that, it’s nice to see where you do stack up compared with every-one else.”

Getting Your Money’s WorthBy alySHa BetH oclaSSen

Winter is almost here. Christmas decorations are already in the shops

and even the south Valley hills have a light dusting of snow. For those who revel in winter sports, this is a time of celebration. But for those who thrive in the long days of summer, being driven inside by November can be a little depressing. The good news is that our Valley has an amaz-ing number of indoor activities to keep even the most finicky of fitness buffs occupied all season. The bad news? You have to pay for them. Here’s how to get the most out of your class so you can feel good about spending the money.

Do something different. Even your most favorite workout or class can get boring and cause your mind and body to plateau. Try new classes to keep your mind fresh and your body alert. I highly recommend checking out the class you’ve had your eye on but haven’t found time for yet.

Don’t let fear keep you down. It’s amazing how many times I hear “I have been wanting to try Pilates/yoga/Zumba, etc., but I don’t think I’m in good enough shape to do it.” My simple answer: “You go to class to get in shape.” Everyone was a beginner once, so wear that hat proudly and get your booty to class!

Respect where you are. Okay, you worked up the courage, made it to class and now you’re sand-wiched in between a triathlete and a gold-medal skier. Chances are you are less in shape than they are, so don’t pretend oth-erwise. Forcing your body into overdoing it can cause injury. Gently challenge yourself while listening to your body. Do what you can, take care of yourself, and smile.

Bring a friend. Not only will a buddy in class make your ex-perience more fun, you are less likely to play hooky if someone you care about is waiting on

you. Pair up, pick a class and enjoy the productive together time along with a good sweat.

Stretch. This one could be an article all on its own. Stretching helps keep the joints and mus-cles flexible and loose, as-sisting in the prevention of injury and keeping us mobile, especially as we

age. It also has a calming effect on an overworked mind. Take an extra five minutes after class to stretch the major muscle groups. If you’re not sure what to do, you can always ask your instructor to give you a few specific to what you are personally working on.

Last but not least, have fun!!! Pick the practices that resonate with you and enjoy the “you time!”

Happy winter!

this category, but every now and then it’s fun to have a decadent splurge. The Finnish Pancake would make a wonderful Christmas morning treat.

SUN: How long have you lived in the Wood River Valley and what do you like about it? MVH: I am originally from Geneva, Switzerland. I grew up there and also in Beverly Hills, Calif. Af-

ter having attended the University of California at Berkeley, I lived in the Bay Area (San Francisco) until 1980, when I moved here. So, I am a longtime resident of this area with a brief hiatus from 2004 through 2010, when I had my bed and breakfast establishment in Paso Robles, Calif. I love California, and par-ticularly the great wines of Paso; however, my heart and soul are in the mountains, so that’s why I came back. This area reminds me a lot of Switzerland and makes me feel just perfect.

Finnish Pancakes (Pannukakku) by Margot Van Horn

“An easy overnight dish to create for a festive brunch, this is always a favorite of my bed and breakfast guests!”

Place all ingredients the day before cooking, except the butter and powdered sugar, in a blender. Process until well blended. Keep blender with mixture in refrigerator over-night.

Next morning, preheat oven to 425º and take blender out of refrigerator so it’ll warm up a bit and, before pouring into Pyrex dish, process again until blended. Place but-ter in a 9-by-13-by-2-inch Pyrex baking dish and place dish in 450º oven until butter sizzles, but is not brown (this will take about 10 minutes). Pour reprocessed batter into Pyrex dish and bake for about 20 minutes or until puffed and brown. The edges will be higher than the rest and will be brown, most likely. Remove from oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.

Variations include putting some orange zest in batter; substituting orange juice with lemon juice and/or lemon zest. It’s sweet enough to eat without syrup; however, fresh fruit like strawberries, peaches, etc., are delicious placed on top. It freezes well and can be reheated in a microwave. It’s even good cold! You can make the batter the same morning, but I really feel it’s best when left in the refrigerator overnight. ENJOY!

~ Serves 4 to 6. ~

Thank you, Margot, for your recipe. Enjoy everyone!

Bali SZaBo/Sun

I’m spoiled rotten. I’ve lived in beautiful places all my life. Just look at this Valley! My

teen years were spent on Cape Cod, which I didn’t appreciate until I picked up a camera. The saying there that every local repeats like a mantra this time of year is: ‘It never snows on Cape Cod.’ That spit of glacial moraine sticks 40 miles out into the North Atlantic, then curls north for another 30. It’s surrounded by water, be it bay, sound or ocean, which moderates its temperatures. In winter, it avoids the single digits, and the summers are tempered by cool, onshore winds. It does snow, but it doesn’t last. You can be play-ing golf in January. This is just a microcosmic example of water as a temperature regulator.

The Earth’s air temperature is about 47 degrees Fahrenheit (av-eraged out), but it is not because we are at the perfect distance from the sun, unlike Mercury or Neptune. Our oceans are keep-ing us safe from temperature extremes. A few cubic yards of saltwater can absorb prodigious amounts of heat (‘a watched pot never boils’). Oceans cover 70 percent of the planet’s surface at

an average depth of about two-plus miles. In a high western desert, you can freeze at night and fry an egg on a rock by noon. There’s no mechanism for the absorption and release of heat.

Without oceans, the Earth would lose its ability to maintain and regulate the life-supporting temperature range of about 138 degrees or less, between 32 degrees F. and 170 degrees F. (in Yellowstone, the upper range for photosynthetic bacteria is 163 degrees F. Some Archean bacteria can live in boiling wa-ter). This is a narrow range, less than 2 percent of the tempera-ture range of the planets in our solar system. In the rest of the universe, or just the Milky Way, temperatures vary more than 36 million degrees Centigrade. (The Earth orbits the Milky Way once every 250 million years. That’s our larger year.)

Miraculously, life can only oc-cur in this narrow temperature range, which is maintained by water. The Earth has stayed in this range for billions of years, even though the sun’s heat has diminished threefold over that time. At the same time, the

Earth became three times warmer. Accord-ing to the behavior of every other liquid, H2O’s atomic weight of 18 should have it freeze near absolute zero and boil well below 0 degrees F. Water epitomizes the mystery of life, built on an exception to the rules.

We still don’t know for sure how all this water got here, and also how the sheer amount of it has remained constant over all these years. Atmospheric water vapor is 10 times the mass of all surface water (lakes, rivers, oceans). Underground water is 37 times the volume of surface water! It wasn’t until 1997 that we could measure the amount of water we get from outer space—millions of tons every day in the form of ice comets, often mistaken for shooting stars and UFOs. We don’t know where it comes from. Like the dust we breathe, the water we drink is extraterrestrial in origin.

November 15 is a day dedi-cated nationwide to the promotion of recycling.

Why recycle? Because recy-cling saves energy; conserves natural resources; creates local, green jobs; and even increases the county tax base.

The national recycling rate (including composting) is 34 percent! This saves the equiva-lent of:

• 250 million barrels of crude oil, or 27 days of all U.S. oil imports; and,

• Greenhouse gas emission of 35 million cars in a year.

Here in Blaine County we create about 22,000 tons of trash each year. Of this, about 18 percent, or 6,100 tons, is recycled (this includes chipping yard waste for reuse). Another 16 per-cent, or 5,600 tons, is construc-tion and demolition materials and glass that is diverted from the landfill. This is GREAT, but there are opportunities for us to REDUCE, REUSE and RECY-CLE much more.

Curbside and drop-off recy-cling are available for Blaine County residents. Businesses can take advantage of cardboard recycling and construction ma-terials diversion offered by local haulers. For details on these programs, contact the following:

• Environmental Resource Center: www.ercsv.org or call 208.726.4333

• Blaine County: www.blaine-county.org or call Char Nelson at 208.788.5500

• Clear Creek Disposal: www.ccdisposal.com/recycling_tips.asp or call 208.726.9600

Remember, when in doubt, throw it out! Don’t recycle an item unless you are sure it is accepted—better to keep our marketable commodities clean than to turn them into trash. Have questions or want to draft your own ERCbeat? Contact the

Commodity Specific Benefits/Savings:

PAPEREvery ton of paper recycled:

saves 17 trees; 4,100 kwhr of en-ergy (this is half a year of power for the average U.S. house); 7,000 gallons of water; reduces air pollution by 60 pounds; and saves 3 cubic yards of landfill space.

GLASSEvery ton of glass recycled:

saves the equivalent of 9 gallons of fuel (25 percent to 32 percent energy savings compared with virgin).

ALUMINUMRecycling one ton of alumi-

num saves 37 barrels of oil.PLASTICS

Recycling 1 ton of plastic can save 1-2 thousand gallons of gas; producing new plastic from recycled material uses only two-thirds of the energy required to manufacture it from raw materials.

STEELOne ton of recycled steel saves

the energy equivalent of 3.6 barrels of oil and 1.49 tons of iron ore over the production of new steel; recycling tin and steel cans saves between 60 percent and 74 percent of the energy used to produce them from raw materials.

Every ton of steel recycled saves 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone.

Jane’s Addiction is back. And when I say back, I mean back. After 2003’s disap-

pointing Strays, Jane’s Addiction took a break and have returned with an offering that is com-parable to Nothing’s Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual, their first two studio albums. Leaning heavily on the darker, heavier side of Jane’s Addiction, The Great Escape Artist finds them returning to their true art-metal form. Never a band to rest on their laurels, Jane’s Addiction explores the seamier side of their world without dragging you through the gutters. The sound has tightened back up, due part-ly from the inclusion of TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek taking bass role for the majority of the album, and filling out the groove that made Jane’s Addiction such an oddity in the hard-rock world from their very inception. In the opener, “Underground,” singer Perry Farrell declares “I’m a hustler, I’ll never give up the underground!” and re-states the

mission that the band took in 1988—to show the underbelly of rock music in all its glory and never making it seem too gory when they tear its guts out and wave them around for all to see. Farrell takes the role of the shaman seriously; he chants the lyrics, Stephen Perkins provides the tribal beat that Sitek weaves his bassline through, and Dave Navarro provides the guitar work that shakes the earth. The result is an album worth hearing over and over. Until your ears bleed. In a good way.

Still Shocking After All These Years

movie review

By JonatHan Kane

Could there be better tim-ing for a film about the economy’s 2008 crash

than the fascinating new film Margin Call? With the Occupy Wall Street movement gain-ing momentum and Americans dealing with a recession that feels more like a depression, here is a snapshot of the day before the collapse as a top invest-ment bank teeters on the edge. The problem is an extensive portfolio of worthless mort-gages that threaten to topple the powerhouse institution. As it is explained in the film, the firm’s projected losses will easily supersede its assets. One of the pluses of the film is that people like me are helped along by the descriptions of the difficult-to-follow language of the streets. As the CEO of the firm tells one of his underlings “Speak as you might to a young child or a golden retriever.”

What makes the film fascinat-ing is the 24-hour time frame that unfolds. What makes it particularly noteworthy is the exemplary cast and the superb script and direction of new-comer J.C. Chandor. The stars come in droves and the casting couldn’t be better. One of the stars—Demi Moore—returns to her trademark of playing the manipulative ice queen that made her famous. Along for the

ride is Simon Baker and Stanley Tucci as well as a standout performance by Kevin Spacey as the 30-year veteran of the firm who doesn’t have the stomach for the earth-shattering results of the firm’s attempt to save its own skin.

Spacey is one of America’s finest actors and this is one of his finest performances. It also reminds you that he appeared in Glengarry Glen Ross, a film that delved into the dark heart of American business and the unrelenting pursuit of money. Of course, the CEO has to have a lot of gravitas and they couldn’t have made a better casting choice than Jeremy Irons, who works less than we’d like to see him.

The story is certainly interest-ing, but even more, it reminds us of the destructive qualities of greed and the people that prof-ited by our misery.

horoscopes

arieS (march 21-april 19). you have a quiet power this week, which you’ll use to forward your agenda to do good in the world. your ideas will be adopted, but not because you stand up and lead the way. instead, you align with others and reinforce with your actions that you are one of them.

tauruS (april 20-may 20). you may not be as content with the number and depth of your friendships as you once were. you need something more from your social circle. as soon as you put your finger on it, ask for what you want -- if not out loud, then at least in your prayers and/or your diary.

gemini (may 21-June 21). Henry david thoreau said, “things do not change, we change.” clearly, he didn’t live in the computer age, when both things and people are changing to-gether more quickly than ever. you’ll enjoy doing what it takes to stay cur-rent. you’ll be amazingly productive.

cancer (June 22-July 22). you may feel a little out of sync at the start of the week for reasons you can’t quite discern. it’s really an opportunity to open up your eyes and ears. the more observant you are the quicker you’ll get back in step with those around you.

leo (July 23-aug. 22). Sometimes you wonder why everything has to be so compartmentalized when it comes to emotions. Why is it acceptable to laugh or cry at the movies, but not on the job? you’ll invest great passion into many areas of life, including work.

Virgo (aug. 23-Sept. 22). your dreams are filled with images that seem to tell a wild, barely compre-hensible and incomplete story. as fragmented as those pictures may be, there is real wisdom hidden inside them. dare to delve into and analyze them on a deeper level.

liBra (Sept. 23-oct. 23). your self-imposed limitations serve a noble pur-pose. they keep your life manageable and orderly. Still, you have the sneak-ing suspicion that it’s time to expand, even if that means things get out of hand.

ScorPio (oct. 24-nov. 21). Some people come into your life to teach, help and mold you over the years. others influence you momentarily. Both kinds of relationships are impor-tant to your development. you’ll wel-come whatever connection comes up this week.

SagittariuS (nov. 22-dec. 21). you will realize that you have two goals that oppose each other. once these conflicting interests are made obvious, your challenge will be in de-ciding which one to let go. moving for-ward depends on this.

caPricorn (dec. 22-Jan. 19). it may surprise you that there are people who wake up in the morning thinking: How can i have the most fun today? it’s a mindset for you to try on. a quest for enjoyment will increase your productivity and enhance your creativity, too.

aQuariuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). usu-ally, “vision” comes before “venture,” but you are open to an alternative sequence. your impulses may defy ex-planation or logic. you may be inspired to make a move before you have a pic-ture in your mind of what will happen next.

PiSceS (Feb. 19-march 20). you are an accomplished expert in one area and a total newbie in another. experiencing the difference first-hand makes your intellectual prowess seem fragile. Smarts aren’t everything. your great emotional intelligence will carry you through awkward learning stages.

tHiS WeeK’S BirtHdayS: the con-centrated effort you give your work will lead to favorable reviews and a promotion. those looking for work will find it in February. things take a happy turn in your personal life. you’ll thrill to the sound of your love’s voice tell-ing you just what you want to hear.

By Karen BoSSicK

Diana Fassino is about to celebrate a very special birthday.

Not only will she turn 80 on Friday (we know… she could easily pass for someone 25 years younger), but she’ll be making the big switcheroo on 11/11/11, having been born at 11 a.m. on the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1931.

“Cool!” said her admiring husband, Dick Fassino.

Fassino, who was born in the Sherwood Forest of England, has been a fixture in the Sun Val-ley community for many years, adorning it with her beautifully crafted carved wooden doors and donating her artistic talents

to many of her favorite causes, including the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley and the therapeutic horse riding pro-gram at Sagebrush Arena.

She also has been a passionate voice for many political causes—most recently, making up several signs to cheer on the Bag It! Resolution proposed by Wood River High Schools students.

Until recently, her wooden characters waved on many residents and visitors alike from their perch on Elkhorn Road.

She also has related some of her charming stories about growing up in Ye Olde England in two books: “The Late Starters’ Club” and “When the Cat Had My Tongue.”

Remember “Smilin’ Trudy”? The dog with the famous face is back… as “Good

Dog Greg”!Wood River Animal Shelter

volunteer Alex Harten was surfing the Internet a couple of weeks ago and was surprised to stumble upon her mom’s 2008 photo of Trudy, then a resident of the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley. Trudy’s perfectly self-satisfied grin drew immedi-ate attention, so photographer Andrea Nelson entered it into a Bissell pet photo contest hoping to win $10,000 for the Animal Shelter.

In March, 2008, reporter Karen Bossick covered the story in the former Wood River Journal, and someone blogged the contest here on Sun Valley Online. E-mail blasts went out, and, “Smilin’ Trudy” captured the second most votes out of a group of 7400 photos. This qualified the photo for the final round of judging by Bissell Company judges with 75 other photos. The photo didn’t win, but the dog did! A couple from Jackson Hole, Wyo., saw Trudy’s photo on Petfinders and fell in love with her fabulous mug.

They drove to Hailey and ad-opted Trudy, who is still well-loved and romping around in the shadow of the Grand Tetons

today.Harten found Nelson’s “Smi-

lin’ Trudy” photo on a “Cheez-burger” site called “Know Your Meme.” http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/good-dog-greg. It is also posted on Reddit.com as part of what appears to be an ongoing series of dog jokes/pet advice. http://www.reddit.com/search?q=Good+Dog+Greg.

Nelson is not sure who creates “Good Dog Greg,” but she is fine with the use of her photo as long as it promotes pets in a positive way and is not used for profit. She would, however, like it if

the author would post the origin

of the photo and tell

Trudy’s story. Not only would that promote

adoptions from ani-mal shel-ters across

the nation, but it would pay hom-age to the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley as the no-kill

shelter that saved

Trudy’s life and found her a fam-ily, said

Nelson.

Croy Canyon ranch Keeps Plugging AwayStory & PHoto By Karen BoSSicK

Last December, Barbara Dargatz rode the gondola to Sun Valley’s Round-

house where she celebrated her birthday and pointed out the mountains she’d climbed.

“I can’t imagine not being with my mountains,” said the retired Wood River High School teacher who moved to Hailey in 1972. “I’m almost 90 but I have a few more good years left in me. I want to stay here where I can walk my dog, take advantage of the medical care, which is supe-rior to many other places, and look at my mountains. I never want to leave.”

Members of the Croy Canyon Ranch Foundation are striving to make sure Wood River Valley residents like Dargatz never have to leave. They’re trying to raise money to build a continu-ing care community, despite a sluggish economy that is only now beginning to pick up steam.

So far, the Valley has pledged nearly a third of the $13 million needed to build the ranch, which will include independent-living and assisted-living apartments and skilled nursing care on 20 acres in Croy Canyon.

Many Valley residents have made small pledges along with promises to increase their dona-tions as the economy improves, said Board President Jeanne Cassell.

Those working to make Croy Canyon Ranch a reality recently held their annual board meeting at Anita McCann’s home north of Ketchum. They welcomed new board members, including Ket-chum attorney Jan Wygle and architect Jim McLaughlin.

And they reminded one an-other of why they are working so hard.

“I think of this not as a job

but as a mission,” said Kathleen Eder, Croy Canyon Ranch’s executive director.

McCann, who is heading up the Foundation’s fundraising campaign, described how the ranch hopes to provide access to a boardwalk through the nearby wetlands for its residents. It also hopes to offer dinners, a garden walk and other events to the public.

McCann recounted how she grew up next door to her grandparents who attended her piano recitals. She learned about philanthropy from her grand-mother, she added. McCann said the ranch will enable the Valley’s children to share important events with grandparents.

“Generations of Wood River Valley residents are still very in-tact and we want to keep it that way,” she said. “If we don’t have this facility, we deny ourselves one of the most important parts of our community. People have donated to so many of the other parts of the community—the symphony, the arts, the youth… Now we need to complete the

circle. It’s the right thing for the Valley.”

mclaughlin is owner and president of mclaughlin and associates archi-tects, which he founded in 1975. His firm has designed custom homes and commercial, award-winning projects all over the world, including our lady of the Snows catholic church.

Wygle moved to the Wood river Valley in 1978 and started the law firm of luboviski, Wygle and Fallowfield, currently luboviski, Wygle, Fallowfield & ritzau, P.a., where she practices with her husband of 30 years, Barry luboviski.

student spotlight

Katie dumke (far right) and some of her students from South africa.courteSy PHoto: Katie dumKe

By JonatHan Kane

Katie Dumke, Community School senior with a 3.7 grade point average, is

an impressive young woman, largely because of her commit-ment to community service. Be-sides spending last year in Paris, Dumke has traveled around the world giving service to a variety of causes. For her, it’s “a unique way to be involved with people and to see a community and be a part of it rather than being on vacation. One of the reasons I’m drawn to it is because I’ve been lucky to be born in America as well as in a tremendous town. I also get to see the perspectives of people that live a vastly different life than I do. But leaving for the year has given me a new appre-ciation of the Valley, and coming back was tremendous. Espe-cially when you go to the grocery store—you see so many familiar faces.” About her love for service, Dumke added, “It feels so good to make a difference in a commu-nity and to see people that aren’t in the best situations making the most of what they have. It’s really great to see yourself mak-ing a difference in people’s lives and it makes me feel really good about myself that I can help.”

Last year Dumke had the incredible opportunity to spend a year abroad studying in Paris. “I’ve always been fascinated with studying in a foreign coun-try. Although I love The Com-munity School, I’ve been in the same class with the same people since first grade. You can become too comfortable doing the same thing every year, so I wanted to break out of my comfort zone and try something new. I went to an American school, but only one-third of the students were Americans. The other kids’ par-ents mainly work at embassies or major international compa-nies. It was better than going to a French school because I made friends with people from Japan, Mexico, Australia and Norway, and we Skype with each other all the time.” Dumke added, “When I first got there I was a complete foreigner in everything I did, from riding the Metro to going to the grocery store. It was all a huge effort because I was so self-conscious about my French, but once they heard my accent, many of the people conversed with me in English. It is such a beautiful city. Each day was a new experi-ence and there were so many different kinds of people and you

never knew what strange and in-teresting things you would see.” While there, Dumke immersed herself in service by becoming a student mentor to the younger students. “We would meet twice a week with the freshmen and serve in an advisory role, help-ing them get through social or academic issues. Teaching was what inspired me to go to South Africa to work with impover-ished youth.”

And that’s exactly where she went this summer for a month. “I really like working with younger kids by setting an example for them and hearing what they have to say. We spent the entire year in Paris preparing for it and then we spent our entire day teaching English and preparing. We stayed in a boarding school and traveled an hour every day to our village. It was such a great experience. Many of their parents worked in the mines and they didn’t have very much money. But it didn’t matter to them. They were thankful for the people around them and the lives they were able to live.”

South Africa is not the only country Dumke has traveled to help. Last year she travelled to Romania to build houses for Habitat for Humanity. “We worked every day in torrential rain but we met the family we were building the house for and the satisfaction of helping those kids is immeasurable.” There was also her trip to New Orleans to help rebuild after Katrina in 2010 and her trip to Costa Rica to work for the Turtle Conserva-tion Center and Hatchery. “New Orleans was quite a shock. It was amazing that it was still in a state of devastation. Some of the neighborhoods looked like the hurricane had just passed through last week.”

In the meantime, Dumke is finishing her senior year at The Community School. “I love it there. The classes are small and intimate, with teachers that really care about your success and not so much about your grades, but what you’re learning. They try to create an interactive classroom environment where students have autonomy in their educations. I never have a class where it’s just the teacher lectur-ing.” With Dumke’s attitude and open heart, anything will be possible for her.

Lowry: to Young People

By Karen BoSSicK

Lois Lowry is 74 years old. But she has a fan club of college, high school and

middle school students that sends her e-mails and letters daily.

It was the hands of students that shot up in the air when the New England author opened up her talk for questions Thursday night at the Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum.

And her visit to the middle school earlier that day had the buzz of a Justin Bieber concert with dozens of students clamor-ing to have Lowry autograph their books, said Sun Valley Cen-ter for the Arts’ Britt Udesen.

“I love her writing. It’s very descriptive. Her characters are well developed. And I like the plots—they involve interest-ing things like the Holocaust,” said Emily Jacks, a Sun Valley employee, as she referred to a book about a 10-year-old Danish girl who risks her life to save a Jewish girl, titled “Number the Stars.”

Lowry offered a charming evening recounting the things that shaped her eventual destiny as a two-time Newberry Medal winner as part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ 2011/2012 Lecture Series.

She noted she has written 40 books intended to help adoles-cents answer their own ques-tions about life, identity and relationships, even as she’s ad-dressed such difficult subjects as terminal illness, racism, murder and questioning authority.

Her science fiction novel, “The Giver,” for instance, references a repressed society that has elimi-nated pain and strife by con-verting to Sameness. The book, in which a 12-year-old boy is selected to hold all the memories before Sameness in case they’re ever needed, is required reading at Wood River Middle School.

Among Lowry’s own memo-ries—a picture of herself playing on the beach in Hawaii with the USS Arizona in the background. Her family moved to the East Coast just before Pearl Harbor. Children in New York wore dog tags during this period because they feared New York would be bombed, she recalled. They were told to seek refuge in the subway station in the event of a raid.

Lowry’s father served as an Army dentist on a hospital ship in the Pacific before returning home to take his family to an Army base in Tokyo. And Lowry said she wrote her first story about getting to know her father when she returned from the war.

“The Giver” was also inspired by her father when he was un-able to recall the death of his eldest daughter.

“I wondered if it would be good to have a pill to help us forget bad things,” Lowry said. “I concluded, ‘No, we need to remember.’ ”

Lowry said her mother sat in the hallway to read to her daughters, who had bedrooms opposite each other.

One of the books that affected her the most: “The Yearling,” Marjorie Rawlings’ 1938 book about a Florida boy who learns important life lessons while car-ing for an orphaned fawn.

“I became in my mind that boy,” Lowry said.

More importantly, she added, she saw how a book could speak to one person as she saw her mother cry as she read it.

“All my stories for young people are about finding place in the world—a world that is still changing,” she said.

financial planning

By ana torreS

Low prices and the abun-dance of properties on the market are not only inspir-

ing renters to take the necessary steps to becoming homeowners, they are also enticing many current homeowners to become property investors. According to experts, the cost to rent will spike 7 percent or so in each of the next two years to a national average that will top $800 per month. With plenty of bargain properties on the market and an increase in demand for rental housing on the horizon, now is the perfect time to purchase a rental property.

Investing in and maintaining a rental property is not an easy task and may be daunting for the first-time investor. Investment property ownership can be filled with surprises that can sap your returns. Before starting your search, take a look at some items you should consider when shop-ping for an income property.

Property TypeAs a landlord, it’s important to

find a property and a neighbor-hood that will attract your ideal tenants. Residential, single-fam-ily homes seem to be the best investment value as they attract families and couples that are typically responsible and finan-cially stable.

Condominiums also offer good value, are less expensive than single-family properties and re-quire minimal maintenance. The majority of condo property up-keep is covered by the complex’s homeowners’ association, saving both time and energy.

NeighborhoodsWhen searching for properties

on your own or with your real estate professional, take the type and quality of the neighborhood into account. For example, if you buy in a neighborhood near a popular vacation spot or near a university, chances are that your pool of potential tenants will be mainly seasonal vacation-goers or students, meaning you will

face vacancies on a fairly regular basis.

Amount of Listings and Vacancies

Though many vacancies in the neighborhood may signal a seasonal cycle, it may also indicate the neighborhood isn’t desirable. Do your research and gather market trend informa-tion on the neighborhoods you’re interested in.

Property TaxesProperty taxes vary from city

to city, and as an investor plan-ning to make money from rent, you want to be aware of how much will be lost on taxes. High property taxes can sometimes be justified if the neighborhood of-fers many desirable amenities.

Average RentKnow the average rent in your

desired area to determine your monthly financial commitment for the new purchase and calcu-late whether or not the rental property will cover your expens-es. If charging the average rent doesn’t cover your full mortgage payment, taxes and other ex-penses, then keep looking.

Once you’ve narrowed down your rental property search to the house, condo or apartment unit that will provide the best value and a positive projected cash flow, keep your expectations realistic. Real estate invest-ing doesn’t start with buying a rental property; it begins with creating the financial situation where you can buy a rental. Make sure that your finances are in a healthy enough state to weather the waiting period be-fore the property starts creating projected cash flow. As with any investment, consult the experts, make careful choices and weigh the costs and benefits of your actions before diving in.

briefsSba expands loan Program

the u.S. Small Business administra-tion has announced significant chang-es in the SBa 504 loan program that may benefit small business owners in idaho and across the nation. along with providing a method of purchas-ing and refinancing fixed assets to take advantage of the current low interest rate environment, these changes will particularly help small business own-ers that have equity in their commer-cial buildings but have not been able to access new working capital. the program will give businesses the op-portunity to restructure their existing fixed asset debt and potentially free up capital that may be essential to their viability and ability to grow and create jobs.

the SBa 504 program has his-torically financed the acquisition and improvement of buildings and equip-ment and utilizes the sale of deben-tures (bonds) in conjunction with bank financing. the debentures provide low, fixed rates that are approximately 4.61 percent (20 years) and 3.77 per-cent (10 years) at the present time.

the SBa 504 program is adminis-tered by Business lending Solutions, a division of region iV development corporation (non-profit), which is lo-cated on the campus of the college of Southern idaho. For more informa-tion about the program, contact Brent Jussel at 732-5730, ext. 3006, or Kristi dunn at ext. 3012; or via e-mail at [email protected].

Sobering ExperienceMy dog recently had an oper-

ation and had to wear one ofthose Elizabethan collarsaround its neck to prevent himfrom pulling out his stitches.Although it was absolutely nec-essary, I admit it looked a bitridiculous.

However, when my friendscame over to visit the other day,they were relentless in pointingout how silly my dog looked.One of them even joked,"Maybe it would help if we gotyour dog drunk."

"Why would we do that?" Idared to ask him.

Still laughing my friendreplied, "At least then he'd havean excuse for wearing a lamp-shade on his head."

This lit-tle hurricane of fur and energyhas brought so much love intoour home that we're thinkingabout adding a kitten to ourfamily. For weeks now, I havebeen reading the pet section ofthe classifieds just waiting forsomeone who's giving away kit-tens. The other day, I finallyfound one with the right breedand color. I circled the ad andleft it on the counter to show myhusband. While we were atwork, our dog hopped up on thecounter and ate not only the ad,but the entire classified section.This is the first time he's everdone anything like that. Now ithas me rethinking my decision.Does our dog know we wantanother pet? Or, worse yet,that it's a kitten? Is itpossible our dogknows something thatwe don't?

• • •Cash: We've always

known the classifieds are good,but your dog has taken enjoyingthe classifieds to a whole newlevel!

Carry: Maybe he's trying to tellyou that he needs a little morefiber in his diet.

Cash: Dogs are known to havevery keen senses. Often timesthey know if we are upset or sadand come to comfort us.

Carry: Their keen senses haveeven led them to life-saving pro-fessions such as seizure dogs.Some can actually detect a changein the body of a person withepilepsy and predict when aseizure is coming.

Cash: Maybe your dog had a"sense" of your desire for anotherpet.

Carry: Although anything ispossible, it could simply be acoincidence that your dog ate theclassified section. Maybe he justwanted to sit down and enjoy our

column.Cash: Regardless of your dog's

actions, if you're considering a kit-ten for your family, then you maywant to test your dog with otheranimals first. If he hasn't grownup with cats in the house, adjust-ing to one could be very difficult.

Carry: Try taking your dog to afriend's house with cats or visit ananimal shelter and see how heinteracts. I know my dog wouldchase them all around the yard.

Cash: However, you may findthat your dog gets along great witha cat and may even help you pickone out from the shelter. Heseems to already have an opinionon what he does and doesn't like.

On Satur-day, the snow ma-

chines were busy blasting a base on Baldy’s River Run side on the 42nd Street Run. People are taking advantage of the early snow by hiking or skinning to the top and skiing down. Typical season start date is Thanksgiving. Let’s pray for snow!

Trauma Conference Includes Survival QuizStory & PHoto By Karen BoSSicK

Nate Ostis, who heads up the McCall-based Wilder-ness Rescue Internation-

al, recently came head to head with a startling revelation as he talked with a NASA doctor at a recent medical conference.

A worker needing emergency care can be evacuated from the International Space Station in just 90 minutes, he was told.

Can you imagine such a speedy rescue in Idaho’s back-country, which sports 4.5 million acres of wilderness, including the second largest wilderness area in the Lower 48? Ostis exclaimed.

That’s one of the reasons St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise has put on the Ski and Mountain Trauma Con-ference each year for the past five years.

The conference, held this past weekend at Sun Valley Resort, brought together nearly 400 ski patrollers and medical person-nel from Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Utah and even as far away as Kentucky to learn about such things as the latest treat-ments for frostbite, how to build an improvised litter and how their cohorts have dealt with such things as avalanches and ice cave-ins.

One instructor who returns year after year is Portneuf Medical Center LifeFlight Nurse Lance Taysom, who teaches various aspects of wilderness survival.

Taysom proposed this quiz for people to ponder around the campfire some night:

True or false? High ground is better than low for sleeping.

It depends. You don’t want to make camp in a creek bed or place where a flash flood could cause problems. Low-lying draws or valleys tend to be colder as the night air settles. But ridge tops tend to be windy and less shel-tered. The ideal spot: on a south-facing slope out of the wind and protected from flooding.

True or false? Eat potato chips rather than salt tablets.

True. Using salt tablets can lead to gastritis and renal fail-ure. Replacing lost electrolytes is easily accomplished by eating salty snacks.

True or false? In extreme survival situations, do like “Man in the Wild” Bear Grylls has done and drink your urine.

Never. Urine is toxic and will cut down your survival time.

True or false? Eating snow is a safe, effective way to stay hydrated.

It depends. If you’re warm and have a good source of calories, eat all the snow you want as dry snow will give you some liquid. But if you’re cold or out of food, eating snow can sap your energy and put you at risk of becom-ing hypothermic. If the sun is shining, put a plastic bag or dark tarp over a dark background and spread out a thin layer of snow to melt on your solar “hot plate.” Or, fill a sock with snow and hang it near the fire, catching the water as it drips.

True or false? Boiling water for five minutes kills organisms harmful to humans.

True, but you don’t need five minutes. Once water reaches a rolling boil, it’s safe to drink.

True or false? Drinking alco-hol will keep you warm.

False. Alcohol gives a false sense of warmth. In reality, it causes blood vessels in the skin to open up, radiating heat away from the body at a much faster rate.

True or false? If you are cold, put on a hat, as most body heat is lost through the head.

True, if your head is the only part that’s uncovered. Only the hands and feet are good at vaso-constricting to conserve heat. If your torso or some other body part is uncovered, it’s just as important to cover it as the head.

True or false? You can warm up a hypothermic person by put-ting a second naked person in the hypothermic person’s sleep-ing bag.

False. Skin to skin is okay for warming cold feet and hands but not the most efficient method for transferring heat to a cold person. If you put a second person in the bag, keep at least one dry layer on. Better yet, get that extra rescuer out of the bag

to do some useful work like get-ting firewood or improving the shelter.

True or false? Keep your head inside your sleeping bag when it’s cold.

Partly true. While you need to keep your head insulated, it’s important not to exhale warm moist breath into the insulation of your sleeping bag. Draw your bag over you like a mummy to keep your head in and face out.

True or false? In a survival situation, you may die from hy-pothermia in your sleep if you go to sleep when you’re cold.

False. Unless you’re severely hypothermic, uncontrollable shivering will wake you up before you get too cold. When that happens, run around or do some jumping jacks or something else to warm up before trying to catch another nap.

True or false? Dehydra-tion and fatigue contribute to frostbite.

True. Dehydration affects blood flow through capillaries. And fatigue clouds our judgment and decreases our vigilance.

Jake radtke shows first-responders how to coil ropes to tie an injured patient into a tarp for a wilderness evacuation.

kUdOS GO TO…organizers of St. alphonsus’

Ski and mountain trauma confer-ence presented Sun Valley general manager tim Silva, marketing di-rector Jack Sibbach and Ski Patrol director mike lloyd with a new avalanche beacon system Friday.

the system will heighten the experience of skiers and boarders who want to practice their ava-lanche beacon skills on Baldy, said lloyd.

“a system like that can cost several thousand dollars, so it’s a real gift,” added rich Bingham, Sun Valley’s snow safety director.
