Sun Valley is marking its 75th anniversary season on Saturday by celebrating 75 years of ski fashion.

And it needs you to make the picture complete.

The resort is hosting a Vin-tage Ski Party and Contest at 2 p.m. Saturday at the River Run Plaza. There’ll be prizes for the best outfit from each decade dat-

ing back to the 1930s when Sun Valley de-

buted as America’s first destination ski resort.

And there will be raffles, refresh-ments and plenty people watching,

as well.The party is one of

a week full of events that Sun Valley has lined up as it heads towards Christmas.

Here’s what to expect:

Today—Sun Valley is show-ing Warren Miller’s latest ski film “Wintervention” at 4:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and

Saturdays throughout the ski season in the Sun Valley Opera House. Tickets are $5.

Thursday—Sun Valley is showing “Sun Valley Sere-nade,” the 1940s movie showing Sonja Henie, at 4:30 p.m. Sun-days, Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the winter in the Sun Valley Opera House. Admis-sion is free.

Friday—Some of Sun Valley’s best rail riders will strut their stuff during a Rail Exhibition on Sun Valley’s new Quad Wall from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The fun gets started at 3 with live music by Twin Falls musician Ethan Tucker. Then Sun Valley will

A few good books

Like many in the Valley, I belong to a

book club, now heading into our thirteenth year. The club has greatly expanded my reading horizons. Fiction is not my gig but I have taken on Olive Kittredge and Lolita, among others. After all, our dinners and discussion are spectacular! When I’m the “book-picker,” however, the club gets edgy. My taste tends to nonfiction outside most peoples’ interests. With this full disclosure, below are some books I suggest to others interested in good reads about money and economics.

1. Blessed Unrest by Paul Hawken. Hawken is an environmentalist and writer who describes a “movement” for sustainability and social justice that is worldwide, incho-ate, and under-the-radar. The book has been called “…a description of humanity’s collec-tive genius and an unstoppable movement to reimagine our relationship to the environ-ment and one another.” Hawken provides a short, fast-moving trip across the movement – reinforcing points with a wide range of fascinating information.

2. Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. This book chronicles Mortenson’s accidental

Window at sunset at the old horseman’s haven in Santa Fe, N.M. Photo: BALI SZABo/tWP

In 1983 I returned to the West, if only for a week.

Some friends from our Aspen days (’68-’71—incuba-tor years for so many) invited me out to Santa Fe. In retrospect, my ig-norance of the larger West was appalling, but it allowed me to wander the streets and the surrounding countryside with child’s eyes. There was no déjà vu. Camera in hand, ignorance turned to bliss.

In the evening, I’d duck into some hole-in-the-wall restaurant for a cheap bite. It was there, in that working-class Hispanic neighborhood around Guadal-upe, that I first tasted red and green chile soup, a mince of fiery peppers accented with some onion and cumin. It was pure heaven for someone who grew up in the land of paprika.

Over the years, as this tradi-tion began to vanish along with the inexpensive cafés and restaurants, the pursuit of a bowl of chile became a culinary Holy Grail. The dish was simple and impossible to improve upon, so everyone tried. The wave of fusion cooking that turned Santa Fe into a ‘foodie’ destination created the chile out of existence. Gourmet restaurants tout their native ingredients, but at a lofty price.

In the 1980s, Horseman’s Haven remained the last best place for affordable, simple and authentic fare. It was attached to a gas station at the southern end of Cerrillos Road, just before it merged with I-25. The few barstools at the counter were butt-worn and cracked, the small dining room had six booths, and the take-out business was brisk. The food looked, smelled and tasted great, served by the

family matriarch, who delighted in my raves.

I couldn’t wait to take a friend, who just got off the plane from Boston, to try it. We were both authentic

regional road food aficionados. The ‘green’ was so hot she couldn’t finish it, but for us this was home.

The restaurant got a face-lift a

few years later; larger, well-lit, shiny, everything brand new—out with the old, including the smiling matriarch. No more ‘red’ or ‘green’. Incredulous, I complained, only to be greeted by the clueless, supercilious smirk of new management. I got a bowl of hot sauce from some bottle. The food was tasteless, homogenized for mass consump-tion, ‘family dining’ at its in-nocuous best. The new, spacious room was fine, but why ruin the food? Another bit of New Mexico was gone, replaced by a com-moditized, numbing sameness of Anywhere, USA.

This is a problem all over America—regions ruled by the frozen, the canned, the faux-authentic. There are exceptions worth mentioning: California Wine Country is our Provence; Chicago and Kansas City steak-houses, ample good heartland barbecue. The renaissance of re-gional cuisines is confined to the wealthy, the chic, the urbane. I remain forever the Argonaut, on the lookout for real gumbo, a great hamburger, New England chowder or pot pie, Pennsylvania Dutch or Southern ‘down home.’ Increasingly, real food is only found in cookbooks.

The Punch line

While Sue Muss paints her son Chris’s portrait, Jim says, ‘it IS beginning to look a lot like Chris Muss!’ Photo: SUSAN LIttLEFIELD

Avid weekly paper reader, Susan Littlefield, who has lived in the Valley for over 35 years, claims that laughter is the best medi-cine. She creates these scenarios in her husbands N-scale model railroad.

Wood River High School

senior Kevin Jensen has an array of leadership skills. These have been honed as the quarterback of the high school football team and as a member of the varsity basketball team. It has also taught him some of life’s most important les-sons. “What I love about football is that it’s your strength versus another guy’s strength,” he said. “It’s me versus the other team’s cornerback. If I lose the individu-al battle, it doesn’t mean I’ll lose the game. It’s just like life. If you make one mistake, you can still rebound and find yourself a winner.”

Born in Twin Falls, Idaho, Jensen’s family moved here when he was nine years old. His father had opened the Radio Shack in Hailey and was tired of the com-mute. He now lives in Deerfield. “Twin Falls is a lot different than here. There are no outdoor activities and you have to drive hours to snowboard or ski. There is also a lot of hustle and bustle as compared to here. I like to be in a more serene environment. There’s a peacefulness to living here. Also, in Twin, we lived near an industrial section and the air was pretty smoggy.” He added, “I love a small town. I’m always seeing someone I know when I’m out and it is so great to be a part of a community. Here you’re not a small fish in a big town and it’s so great to be able to hike and mountain bike all the time. There is so much access and you always have the ability to do things right here. My favorite is going out Quigley, hike up and see the whole land-scape before you. It all melds together with the Valley.”

At Wood River High School, Jensen is sporting a 3.7 grade point average, and loves his experience there. “It is such a great atmosphere and I couldn’t get this education anywhere else. I feel I’ve learned so much and I was able to see the education you got in Twin Falls and there is no comparison. I feel I’ve excelled as a student and the education is the reason why. I also love that the students are so friendly and that we don’t have so many cliques here. Everyone gets along.” He added, “The teachers

are phenomenal. I think very few educators are as dedicated. It’s not about them and their careers, but about the students and enabling them to express themselves. My education and their help is why I think I’ve been admitted to the University of Portland.”

At Wood River, Jensen has taken five A.P. courses – U.S. History, Government, Econom-ics, Literature and English Language and Composition. “U.S. History is my favorite. I get to learn about one of the greatest countries in the world.” To that end, he hopes one day to be a history teacher and also be able to coach high school sports. He has also taken to writing short stories with an historical bent. “I like to write about ordi-nary people in history and try to relate their lives to our own. My favorite is to imagine that I’m from the time of the Roman Empire. They had an aura about themselves and saw themselves as a supreme being because they were the only power to have ac-complished what they did.”

In his spare time, Jensen has devoted himself to community service. Part of that is involve-ment with the Kiwanis Club and assisting on their projects. “My favorite is assisting with Camp Rainbow Gold. It’s such a great thing to do. For some of these kids it will be their last time to camp or experience the outdoors. It’s a special thing to be involved in community service. It makes me feel that I can make a differ-ence and that it’s the responsible thing to do for my community. This is such a special place and it’s really important to give back to it.”

Jensen’s leadership is through example

unveil its 1,500-pound 10-foot tall Quad Wall, which is 25 by 10-feet wide, on its year-old Dol-lar Mountain Terrain Park.

The wall, one of 25 or 26 new features Sun Valley built for its terrain park this year, is probably one of the biggest walls you’ll find in any ski resort in North America, said Sun Val-ley marketing assistant Mike Fitzpatrick.

“It’s a big playground in and of itself,” he added.

Sun Valley’s Funny Man Mike Murphy, who has been delivering laughs in The Boiler Room for 30-plus years, will try out his newest jokes at 7:30 p.m. in The Boiler Room in Sun Valley Village following the rail exhibition. He’ll present a second free show at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and yet another at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

SaturdaySun Valley is asking skiers

and boarders to dig out their vin-tage ski wear for a Vintage Ski Party and Contest at 2 p.m. on the River Run Plaza. There’ll be prizes for the best outfits from each decade from the 1930s when Sun Valley opened as the nation’s first destination ski resort to now.

First Lady Lori Otter will sign copies of her children’s book, “Little Clyde: Horsing Around in Sun Valley,” from 3 to 5 in the Sun Valley Inn. Hot chocolate and cookies will be served.

The annual Tree Lighting will follow at 5 p.m. outside the Sun Valley Inn. The walk-ways around Sun Valley will be lined with ice carvings made by Danny Spangler of Ice is Nice.

The Sun Valley Carolers, who have been caroling for more than 30 years, will lead off the celebration. There’ll be free cocoa and cookies. And Santa will come dashing in via-horse-

drawn sleigh.TuesdayA star-studded cast of Olym-

pians will skate two holiday numbers each in Sun Valley’s Silver and Gold Ice Show de-signed to celebrate Sun Valley’s 75th anniversary season.

The show, which starts at 6 p.m., will feature Olympic Gold Medalists Brian Boitano and Evan Lysacek, Olympic Silver Medalist Sasha Cohen, United States Silver Medalist Ryan Bradley and Nathan Chen, the child prodigy who was yet 10 last year when he won the 2010 U.S. Gold Medal in the novice division.

There are some $45 tickets left. But the $75 ones which include a cocktail reception with the skaters following the show are nearly gone. Tickets are available by calling 208-622-2135 or going to seats.sunvalley.com

A 75th Winter Season Cele-bration Gourmet Dinner will be served from 6 to 9:30 p.m. in the Lodge Dining Room. It will feature an a la carte menu that includes entrée specials from Sun Valley’s opening night in 1936. Call 208-622-2800 for reservations.

Thursday, Dec. 23The third annual Classical

Christmas Concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Sun Valley Opera House.

It will feature two 35- to 45-minute sets and will include complementary coffee, cocoa, tea and truffles.

Directed and arranged by R.L. Rowsey, it will feature Tenor John Mauldin, Soprano Leslie Mauldin and Soprano Celena Shafer, a Utah opera singer who has performed throughout the nation and abroad.

This year’s concert will also feature Paul Tillotson, a New York jazz pianist who came to

Sun Valley for two weeks 12 years ago, and extended his stay every year until he decided he loved Sun Valley too much to leave.

There will also be a trio of children who will sing “I Wonder as I Wander” with the two professional sopranos. And there will be an appearance by the Sun Valley Carolers.

The Hatvani Chamber En-semble of Boise will accompany the singers.

Tickets are $35, available at 208-622-2135.

Saturday, Dec. 24Sun Valley will roll out the

free cocoa and cookies once again beginning at 5 p.m. on the Lodge Terrace for the free per-formance of “Nutcracker on Ice” that it offers to the community every Christmas. The Sun Valley Carolers will sing a few numbers preceding the show. Fireworks and a torchlight parade down Dollar Mountain will follow. Santa will take in the festivities and there will be free ice skating following the show.

This year there also will be in a Christmas Eve Dinner Buffet from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Sun Val-ley Club on the site of the golf course. Call 208-622-2800 for reservations.

Sunday, Dec. 26The Christmas Week will end

with a performance of the com-edy musical “Forever Plaid” at 7:30 p.m. in the Boiler Room.

The musical, full of gags and laughs, revolves around four nerds who are given the op-portunity to return to earth to perform the concert they never had the chance to do after being killed in a collision with a bus full of nuns. The songs include such 1950s favorites as “Three Coins in the Fountain” and even a little bit of The Beatles. Tick-ets are $10 at the door.

Light up a paper bag and feed two mouths. That’s the theory behind the

Lights for Food luminary cel-ebration that will take place on Sunday.

Lee Dabney and some of her neighbors are selling luminar-ies for a dollar each and donat-ing the proceeds to The Hunger Coalition.

Lee started the tradition six years ago in her neighborhood of Northridge. She hopes that one day every neighborhood in the Wood River Valley will be lined with the luminaries.

“It’s my understanding that luminaries are a Mexican tradi-tion—a way of lighting the way to church on Christmas Eve. My sister’s neighborhood did it in New York State and I saw how pretty it was. I thought, with our community being the type it is, people might want to do this and use it to raise some funds for a good cause.”

Dabney went door to door in her neighborhood the first year, her baby boy in her backpack. She sold a thousand luminar-ies the first year. She sold more than 7,500 last year, netting about $6,200 for The Hunger Coalition. She’d like to sell at least 8,000 this year.

Residents of several neighbor-hoods, including Northridge, Deerfield, Della View, Old Hai-ley, Curtis, Foxmoor, Woodside, Northstar and Buttercup, set their luminaries out along the curb at dusk last year. And this year one of Dabney’s Ketchum friends has offered to take the

project to her neighbors in the Warm Springs area.

Sage School students are counting out orders and helping with the selling and deliveries.

“Most homeowners purchase about 20 so; at a dollar a bag, that’s $20,” Dabney said. “Ac-cording to Jeannie Liston with The Hunger Coalition, one meal costs 50 cents. We can purchase 14,762 pounds of food for $6,200. That equates to 12,400 meals that will feed 35 families of four three meals a day for one month.”

For more information or to order luminaries, call Dabney at 578-0861.

Lights for hunger

Kate Stone eyeballs one of the lumi-naries that her family set out last year. Lighting the luminaries is a great proj-ect to do with kids, said Lee Dabney. “My kids get it—they understand that it’s a fun thing to do but that it also helps people who don’t have enough to eat.” CoURtESY Photo

discovery of his passion to build schools for girls in Afghanistan. The guy is amazing – a lost K-2 moun-taineer and disingenuous klutz who accomplishes remarkable feats in impossible places with absolutely no intention of doing so – and captures peoples’ hearts everywhere. One of the book’s lessons? That small, personalized, grassroots financial investments that match community needs can make a huge difference.

3. The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson. Ferguson is a history professor who writes easily about the role finance and money have played in human history. His goal is to educate us so we can become more involved. At the book’s end, Ferguson describes financial history in terms of evolutionary biology and, somewhat pessi-mistically, asks, “Are we on the brink of a ‘great dying’ in the financial world – one of those mass extinc-tions… that occur periodically?” – or can knowledge tilt us back in the right direction?

4. The Big Short by Michael Lewis. Lewis, a great storyteller, profiles some Wall Street players who made it big when the housing bubble burst. These few men saw what was happening, were incredulous, solidified their conclusions with research, told others who ignored or laughed at them, shorted the market, grew increasingly cynical, shorted even more and, ultimately, came out on top. The book is about guys who announced “the emperor has no clothes” to a court that remained arrogant navel-gazers.

5. 13 Bankers by Simon Johnson and James Kwak. The book portrays the U.S. as an oligarchy respond-ing to a wealthy financial elite that pursues its own self-interest. As one reviewer puts it, “(this is) the best explanation yet for how the smart guys on Wall Street led us to the brink of collapse...(T)he book demystifies our financial system (and) exposes the ruthless power grab that lies at its center… explaining how Wall Street captured Washington and how it tenaciously hangs on to that power.” Better than a soap opera!

6. The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria. Za-karia, Indian-American journalist and author, high-lights the extensive worldwide changes with which the U.S. must contend, as well as the special strengths that he believes will keep us in the global forefront for some time to come. He is realistic, calming, practical, and encouraging. At the same time, he emphasizes the increasing global diffusion of power and our country’s need to recognize and respond to it… as a partner, not as commander-in-chief.

Finally, I must add Winner-Take-All Politics by Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson. I’m still in the middle of this great read whose subtitle explains: How Wash-ington Made the Rich Richer - and Turned its Back on the Middle Class. This one will get you thinking about specific ways to change the system, and that’s a good thing!

Laughter is the best medicineby Karen bossicK

It’s hard to scowl in Carrie Mellen’s yoga class. After all, you can’t do laughing exercises with a

frown on your face.And laughter is the key ingredient

in Laughter Yoga.That’s why you may see a bunch

of locals bowed over, waving their arms as if they were elephant trunks, flitting from one corner of the room to another like birds, clucking like chickens and—of course—laughing hysterically.

“I truly believe everyone can use more laughter in their lives, especial-ly in these times,” said Mellen. “The old saying, ‘Laughter is the best medi-cine’ is a scientifically proven fact. It immediately lightens your mood and it’s contagious.”

Mellen, a certified Laughter Yoga instructor, recently began offering Laughter Yoga sessions from 12:15 to 1 p.m. Mondays at the All Things Sacred Gallery in The Galleria at Fourth Street and Leadville Avenue in Ketchum.

She also will introduce Laughter Yoga from 12:15 to 1 p.m. this coming Tuesday, Dec. 28 and Jan. 4 at St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center in Ketchum.

The sessions are free, although donations are welcome.

Among her faithful attendees are Lyn Stallard and Terry Tischer who recently joined Mellen and newcomer Maura Cannon in a session. Over the course of 45 minutes, they turned into six-year-olds with grins as wide as watermelons.

“We’re going to get in touch with our childlike playfulness. That’s what it’s all about,” Mellen told the women. “Close your eyes, relax, take a deep breath. Today, we’re dedicating this practice to an attitude with gratitude, being thankful for the abundance around us.”

The women started off clapping in rhythm, laughing “Ho ho, ha, ha, ha”

as they clapped.Bending over, they let their fingers

reach toward the floor. Straightening, they reach up to the ceiling, laugh-ing heartily as they begin walking around in circles.

Laughter Yoga was popularized by Dr. Madan Kataria, a Mumbai, India, physician who launched the first Laughter Club in 1995 and wrote about the practice in his book, “Laugh For No Reason.” Today, the practice, which combines self-trig-gered laughter with the traditional deep-diaphragm breathing of yoga, encompasses more than 6,000 Laugh-ter Clubs in 60 countries.

Laughter Yoga is based on the idea that the body can’t differentiate be-tween fake and real laughter, Mellen told the group.

The sound of roaring laughter is more contagious than any cough or sneeze, Mellen said. Ten minutes of hearty laughter are purported to release a joy cocktail of hormones and other stimulants that could reduce the risk of cardiac and other stress-related diseases.

Clinical research conducted at the

University of Graz in Austria and other sites purport that it lowers the level of stress hormones in the blood, lowering blood pressure. Swedish Cancer Hospital in Chicago uses Laughter Yoga to help patients cope with chemotherapy.

The workout also exercises muscles in the stomach, abs and back, said Mellen.

The women resumed their play, roaring like lions.

“You know what?” Mellen asked as she began marching around the room, “there’s a parade today. Lyn, you do the drums. Terry, you do the trom-bone. Maura, you take the trumpet.”

“Now, let’s take a walk in the park,” she said, switching gears. “Walk the dog. Pick up that poop. Oh my good-ness, we just stepped in some.”

The women broke out in giggles as each adopted preposterous poses trying to avoid the imaginary brown blobs.

“I had no idea what I was getting myself into—whether it would be jokes or what,” said Cannon. “But I love it. It’s new. It’s different. And it makes you laugh.”

As the session wound down, Mellen began leading the women through deep breathing exercises. Tischer confessed she tried to sneak out of the breathing exercises the first time but has found them invaluable.

“I never do yoga. I ride my horse for centering. But I’ve found this real calming because it taught me to go beyond the shallow breathing,” she said. “I’ll start the day all tense and I come in here and I run around loose the rest of the day. It’s an easy way to let off stress without going hardcore.”

Stallard has practiced yoga for years but recently found herself side-lined by a knee replacement. Laugh-ter Yoga complements her other yoga.

“Everybody looks so silly, you can’t help but laugh,” she said. “And it can be done by anyone—from kids to seniors who aren’t capable of other types of exercise.”

8 • theweeklypaper Winter either bites with its teeth or lashes with its tail. Wednesday 12.15.10

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some-one who is trying to help you may hurt you in the process. healing is like this. We go to the dentist and withstand the pain of a filling in order to avoid the even worse pain that would come from losing the whole tooth. You’ll bear a degree of discomfort and be happy and healthy because you did.

tAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will be particularly quick on the uptake this week, especially verbally, and this will impress people and make them laugh -- sometimes at the same time. But this speedy timing comes at a price. You are not always in control of what rolls off your tongue, and once it’s out, you can’t take it back.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will dream of something long before you have the means or the ability to make it happen. Believe in those dreams, and don’t let anyone tell you what is possible or impossible. that determi-nation will always be a relative one, and therefore, no person can accu-rately assess it for another person.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s dif-ficult to accept that you don’t always know what is in your best interest.

though you are one of the better judg-es in the matter, there is still too much that is not in your control. You simply can’t know everything! the best you can do is trust that things are working in your favor, and then act and react in kind.

LEo (July 23-Aug. 22). You may gain control of a situation for the mo-ment, but you’ll find that this control is elusive. And needing to have it all the time will only make you miserable, since that just isn’t possible. When you realize that wanting control leads to suffering, you will wisely go the op-posite way, improvising with the hand that you’re dealt.

VIRGo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can choose your reaction to life’s events, though sometimes it doesn’t feel that way at all. there are moments when you feel so compelled to behave in a certain way that it seems as though you don’t have a choice. try to stay calm. It’s simply easier to see your choices when you’re in a peaceful state of mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-oct. 23). there are benevolent spirits in the world. You don’t always encounter them when

you want them, so it’s a good idea to get in touch with your higher self. once you make this connection, you will depend less on the advice of well-meaning mentors, teachers, parents and leaders, who sometimes fall down on the job.

SCoRPIo (oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have patient people around you. Someone in particular has been a real gem lately -- there for your every need and the service comes with a smile. Cherish this person, and do not take him or her for granted. You should also keep in mind that the patient people are also the most prone to random fury.

SAGIttARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). here’s a difficult tactic to stick to: Re-fuse to accept anything but the best. You will be challenged to the point that you will wonder if you are crazy for wanting what you want. You’re not. It is possible. Stick to the tactic. hold out for your preference, and you will get it by the end of the week.

CAPRICoRN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some people find it easy to ask for what they want. others make a hobby of it. then there are those, like you, who would rather do every single little thing themselves than ask for the smallest bit of help. You should really break yourself of that habit. Now is as good a time as ever.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You wouldn’t want to hire a mean coach or sign up for a task that’s completely out of your league -- but in some ways that’s just what you’ve done. Leave it to you to make this kind of difficult/brilliant move. It’s amazing how pro-ductive you can be when you don’t think there’s any other choice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Creative people allow themselves to make mis-takes, and this week you’re about as creative as they come. It’s not neces-sary or possible to make every move in good taste. In fact, that would only make you a boring person. If you mess up, chalk it up to your inherent need to keep things lively and entertaining.

thIS WEEK’S BIRthDAYS: Your pos-itive outlook is absolutely contagious. You win the critics and make the cyn-ics change their tune. You’ll make new friends in the next 10 weeks, some of whom you’ll have for life. February brings a breakthrough in business. Good publicity will be the key, and you’ll please those who hold the purse strings, too. May brings a romantic getaway. Family must work together for the common good in June. You’ll be healed in August. old emotional baggage is dropped for good.

How we got in this mess

How did we get into the fi-nancial mess that we find ourselves in today? How

did the average American lose his home and future in the blink of an eye in 2008? To date, 30 million people worldwide have lost everything and the debt lev-els have reached 2 trillion. In the new documentary, Inside Job, a cogent analysis is attempted and righteous indignation is elicited. The answer, of course, is greed, and the indignation finds its focus in the fact that the guilty parties have not been brought to justice and have instead been rewarded handsomely for their crimes.

In Charles Ferguson’s interesting new documentary, the case against these financial wizards is laid out like a law brief, with a variety of talking heads spinning the unbelievable tale – some who saw the collapse and warned of its imminence and oth-ers who stole the system blind. Ferguson wrote and directed the excellent documentary, No End In Sight, which examined the Bush administration’s disastrous handling of the Iraq war.

With a dazzling array of facts and analysis, this new film can be overwhelming—especially if you do not have a Ph.D. in eco-nomics. Derivatives, credit de-fault swaps and subprime loans are all words that we have heard before. And even though Fergu-

son attempts to walk us through it, the entire

attempt is easier said than done. To many people, the story will be hard to pin down and is certainly not as accessible

as Michael Moore’s documentary, Capi-

talism: A Love Story.But anger is a response

that anyone can have to the tale. Particularly galling is the fact that these complicated transac-tions bore no risk for the bankers and traders that made them. The anger is doubled with the unfortunate truth that those in government that defended the deregulation that fueled the crisis are still in positions of power. Obama’s team is the same as Bush’s. This realization leaves the viewer both dispirited and steeped in despair.

Roundhouse seats full houseA new light has

taken its place amidst the

snow groomers that till Baldy’s slopes all night long.

The historic Roundhouse Restaurant opened for dinner Friday eve-ning, offering a dining experience 7,700 feet high.

“The food is fabulous. The nighttime views are fantastic,” said Sun Valley area resident Martine Drackett as she savored a braided puff pastry salmon fillet with sauce beurre rouge. “And where else can you go to dinner on a gondola?”

Diners began boarding the gondola, included in the price of the meal, at a quarter ‘til six.

Pine trees and building tops lit with Christmas lights lined snow-covered streets of Ket-chum that glowed white in the reflection of car lights. Halfway up the mountain, the lights of Elkhorn came into view, as did a snow groomer cruising down the Hershey Highway from Lower College onto Lower River Run.

When it’s snowing, the lights take on a blue-green glow.

At the top, diners were greeted by a ski patrolman, along with a gondola valet who pointed them towards a heated snow-free stairway leading to the restaurant.

There, Wally Huffman, who was general manager of Sun Valley at the time the resort embarked on the project, gazed around the restaurant with the look of a first-time papa gazing upon his newborn baby.

“We’ve been waiting a long time to do this,” said Huffman, whose first job at Sun Valley in 1974 was building Averell’s and

the outside deck.Huffman’s wife Lauren, an

interior decorator who has decorated many of Sun Valley’s lodges, added her touch to the nighttime elegance with custom snowflakes, privacy screens, chandeliers and more.

Doug Horn, Sun Valley’s res-taurant manager, said the meals took a lot of thought because all the ingredients have to be ferried to the restaurant by snow groomer.

“The food there is different from the food you’ll get at the Lodge or the Ram,” he said. “Even the fondue—that Round-house Chef Don Wise prepares is different from the fondue that Steve Ludwig prepares down in the village. Our chefs like differ-ent flavors and we want that to come out.”

Though rustic, it offers a touch of nostalgia that Sun Valley’s other lodges cannot offer. Hundreds of Hollywood stars and others attended moonlight

parties there during the 1940s, skiing to the bottom or riding chairlifts down if they’d had too much to imbibe.

The restaurant was featured in the 1941 movie “Sun Valley Serenade” and legendary skiers like Stein Ericksen and Jean Claude Killy once raced slalom gates below it as spectators watched from the deck.

Among those who showed up to sample its new evening fare this past week was 91-year-old Ketchum resident Jim Cimino who first began coming to Sun Valley in 1946 and first ate at the Roundhouse in the early 1950s. Former Sun Valley Mayor JoAnn Levy recalled marrying a couple in the Roundhouse before the party proceeded to Seattle Ridge via snow groomer. Then the groom and bride, dressed in a white Bogner jump suit, para-sailed off the mountain.

“The Roundhouse is one of my favorite places,” she said. “It’s classic. It’s legendary.”

Forget the Rose Bowl. Forget the MAACO Bowl

or whatever it’s called down Las Vegas way.

Sun Valley fans did their bowling Saturday when ample snows allowed Sun Val-ley to stage its earliest openings of The Bowls and Seattle Ridge in the past 10 years.

Warm Springs and other groomed runs were empty as ski-ers and boarders swooped into Easter Bowl like a flock of vul-tures. And those who made first tracks in the Bowls and Lower Frenchman’s were rewarded with creamy turns. The snow was deep enough and compact enough that there was no fear of snagging something underfoot.

So what if Christmas still sports an eau de sagebrush!

Don’t let Tuesday’s somewhat soggy weather dampen your ski-ing. Last week’s smell of spring may be gone. But the mountain is well covered and snows this week should put a fresh coat of powder over any frozen snow turds Monday evening’s rain may have left behind.

The rest of the world is begin-ning to share the wealth of snow, starting with the Stanford Ski Team, then with 200 members of the Chicago Ski Club who fought through the frigid blizzard in the Midwest to get there. They had to be rerouted to a variety of places, including Bozeman, Mont., but were finally begin-ning to straggle in on Monday.

And Sun Valley’s lodging will be bulging at the seams begin-ning this coming weekend. So put off that TP run to Costco and join the party.

Off the slopes…Sun Valley Nordic Center has

weathered the unseasonably warm temperatures of the past week to open nearly all of its ter-rain, including Boundary Creek, Diamond Back and The Elevator.

The skiing has been fabulous, especially in morning and mid-day, turning a little glassy in the afternoon. But those late after-noon glassy conditions should go away with this week’s colder temperatures.

Lake Creek, likewise, was skiing like marshmallow fluff on Sunday. A few little chutes still resemble toboggan chutes more than skate ski lanes. But that will change quickly now that the pisten bully is taking over grooming duties from the snowmobile.

Meanwhile, trails around Galena have been groomed often enough that you no longer have to worry about skate skis doing a submarine dive into soft snow.

A word to the wise: If you have your eyes on a new pair of skis or boots, scoot over to your favorite shop and pick ‘em up.

Bob Rosso of The Elephant’s Perch says manufacturers slashed inventory this year in response to the recession and already he’s had trouble reorder-ing certain skis and boots, even as consumer demand seems to be on the increase. The early bird gets the worm this year!

Better here than anywhere

Patty Parsons Tewson wanted to celebrate Christ-mas with a rollicking gos-

pel choir like the one she sang in while living in Fairbanks, Alaska.

But what could she do, consid-ering the population of Sun Val-ley is as white as the snow that’s piled up since Thanksgiving?

You might have guessed it: She’s having a Vanilla Soul Christmas.

Tewson’s new 60-voice Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus will present a Vanilla Soul Christ-mas at 7:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum.

The choir will feature opera Tenor Austin Amaya, a graduate of Wood River High School, and boy soprano Elliott Portillo.

It will be accompanied by key-boards, drums, bass and guitar featuring Cliff Cunha and Bill and Paul Smith of the Boulder Brothers.

The choir will sing familiar and not-so familiar selections, including Michael O. Jackson’s “Hallelujah,” a jazzed-up ver-sion of the “Hallelujah Chorus” from a number called “A Soulful Celebration.”

It will sing “Amen,” “You Raise Me Up,” “The Prayer,” John Williams’ “Somewhere in My Memory” and Carol Cymba-la’s “It’s Christmas.”

It will also sing Tommy Walk-er’s “I Believe in You,” “Oh Holy Night,” Richard Smallwood’s “Total Praise,” “That Little Baby” and “Carol Medley.”

Soloists are Diane Shay, George Kirk, Cintia Scola, Amy Stoll, Evelyn Lee, Deb Bouiss, Janis Walton, Patty Parsons and Holly Hatch.

Tewson directed “The Prom-ise” Christmas music program for the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood for 20 years until she married and moved to Alaska. There, she said, she

sang in a 100-voice gospel choir that changed her life.

“The music is so beautiful, so deep, so uplifting, so goose-pimply,” said Tewson, whose family recently relocated to Sun Valley. “It’s pure adoration. In fact, there have been times when the music is so powerful that I wasn’t even able to sing because it touched me so deeply. I decided that this is the kind of music I want to do for the rest of my life. It gives so much faith and hope.”

The only hitch: the Fairbanks’ choir boasted at least 25 black singers so it really rocked, she said.

“I saw one African-American at Atkinson’s and promptly accosted him and asked if he could sing. But I haven’t seen him since,” she said. “There’s something about the structure of African-Americans that allows them a power in music that’s hard to duplicate. But we’re go-ing to try.”

The Christmas concert is just the beginning for the new choir, Parsons said.

She is already contemplat-ing a concert celebrating Black History Month in February. It would include old Negro spiritu-als interspersed with narration about the music slaves imported from Africa and Indonesia.

“They talked about death as a graduation—that their trials would be over and they’d have a better life some day,” she said. “The music they sang was really powerful.”

Terrain Park in exhibition spotlightHigh-flying

athletes will climb the

new Great Wall of Sun Valley on Dollar Mountain Friday.

Which just goes to prove one thing: You don’t need snow to slide around a ski mountain anymore.

Not since jumps and rails and boxes and wall rides and bonks—vertical cylinders, that is—became fun de jour.

Sun Valley is upping the fun quotient at the Dollar Mountain Terrain Park it opened last year with 26 new play features.

Three of its employees began building those features last spring—even as last season’s snow was still melting on Baldy.

And the pipe innovators have concocted an impressive array of steel contraptions that go far be-yond the simpler flat rails built last year for the terrain park’s inaugural opening.

The new features include a 40-foot-by-12-inch sideways pipeline featured in a recent snowboard film. Another features a vertical choo-choo-train-like barrel that riders will be able to hop on top of and hang out for a couple of split seconds.

But perhaps the most impres-sive of the new features is a 2,000-pound, four-sided wall ride — it’s designed so riders can schuss up the wall and hit the top of it, if they dare.

“The kids are looking at these like, “Really? That’s ours? Do we really get to play on them?” said Sun Valley’s Snowboard Coach, Andy Gilbert. “It’s been a long time coming, but this winter’s going to be a great adventure with all these new features.”

Terrain park designer

Brian Callahan and his crew—Mike Gorman

and Chris Shepa-rd—designed many of the new features using re-cycled snowmak-ing pipes. They

cut the steel in the shops at the base

of Bald Mountain’s River Run side, welding

them together and finishing them off with a paint job and stickers featuring Sun Valley’s logo.

“It was pretty special being able to work on these since it’s not something a lot of people get to do,” added Shepard. “Since Sun Valley didn’t have a terrain park before last year, we feel like we’re creating something completely new.”

Combined with last year’s rails, Sun Valley now sports about 40 steel rides.

A small army that includes the trio who built the rails will also craft jumps and whoop-de-doos, or rollers, out of snow. They will make over the bumps and jumps throughout the season, offering riders fresh looks and new challenges from one week to the next.

“It’s a lot of pushing snow around and shoveling and hand work,” said Gorman, who spent 18-hour days building a 30-foot jump with a 110-foot chasm on Lower Warm Springs last spring for the ski movie, “Eye Trip.”

Sun Valley expects to have plenty of star athletes vying for prizes on some of the new rails and boxes during its 2011 Lunar Eclipse Rail Jam Series on Feb. 5, Feb. 19 and March 19.

The resort is offering a brand new freestyle camp on Dollar Mountain for skiers and snow-boarders ages 6 through 18 who

want to take on the rails and jumps. Sun Valley’s Snowsports School will offer a new class titled Terrain Park 101. And Fridays have been designated “Freestyle Fridays” with the resort’s best freestyle instructors taking children from the whoop-de-doos to full-on catching air.

Terrain parks are a relatively recent addition to ski mountains, and have rapidly become a must-have for any mountain wanting to lure youth and families and a “sick” rating from the kids.

Sun Valley hired Snow Park Technologies, which designs ter-rain for ESPN’s Winter X-Games and the Vans Triple Crown of Snowboarding, to build its park.

This year’s new features put Sun Valley a step closer to its goal of sporting one of the top world-class terrain parks in North America, said Gorman.

“We’re taking care of the basics this year so we can only go bigger and better next year,” said Shepard.

1. Your usage of alcohol and other drugs matter. Drink responsibly and educate/encourage youth to abstain while the teen brain develops and ‘wires’ itself. This process peaks during adolescence and into the 20’s.

2. Science suggests damage to youth brain development from even minor binge drinking (4–5 drinks, 1 to 2 times per month) and other drug use has long-term effects on youth brain development.

3. The odds of addiction increase dramatically when youth use alcohol before age 21 (17-year-olds are 4 times more likely to become addict-ed, than if they waited to use alcohol until they were 21).

2010 RepoRT CaRD on ouR YouThThank you to the students for taking the survey, and to the generous underwriting of St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation to produce this report card. We also thank our partners at Blaine County Schools and The Community School to gather/underwrite data collection.

Above: Substance abuse information for our youth compared to the nation. Note that 30-day usage rate is for those youth who DID NOT use. The 3 questions at the top of each category, to the right of the 30 day non-use are proven to impact youth usage rates.

Right: Youth perceive usage rates to be much higher than they actually self-report. This is important as when youth think rates are higher than they actually are evidence supports usage will go up. Conversely, when youth are made aware of this gap, usage rates go down.

Christmas Carol: timeless traditionWhen Laughing

Stock Theatre introduced “A

Christmas Carol—The Musical” five years ago, nexStage Theatre Manager Kathy Wygle hoped that it would become a holi-day tradition.

It has—and then some.

When her sister Patsy Wygle entertained the notion of replacing it with another show this season, she was stopped dead in her tracks.

It was hard to say “No” when par-ents began calling her in September to find out when auditions were going to be held for “A Christmas Carol—The Musical.”

After all, she didn’t want to be a Scrooge about it.

As a result, the nexStage Theatre will bring back the classic Christ-mas story with such catchy tunes like “Guess Who Kicked the Bucket Last Night?” this week for the fifth consecutive year.

The 75-minute musical version of Charles Dickens’ Christmas classic opens at 7 tonight and continues Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday at the Ketchum theatre. A show-closing Christmas Eve mati-nee will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 24.

Hot mulled wine, cider and cook-ies will be served around the Christmas tree before the show on opening night.

The classic tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge’s sometimes-

horrifying journey, courtesy of the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. He starts out a miser who eschews the thought of even giving his employees Christmas Day off and becomes a man who real-izes his riches are better off being shared for the good of all, rather than being hoarded, as he awakens

him to the true meaning of Christmas.

The musical by David Armstrong, Dick Gal-lagher and Mark Waldrop is anything but haunt-

ing and daunting. It warms the cockles of everyone in the audi-ence, thanks such lively songs as the kick-up-your-heels jig titled “Fezziwig’s Ball.” The ending song is one of those songs that’ll stick in your mind as the audience joins in singing “Christmas shines a light to guide us…”

This year’s production will feature the largest cast the nex-Stage Theatre has ever fielded for the show—66 adults and children, including four professional actors. And, still, children had to be turned away, said Wygle, who is directing the musical with Co-Director Keith Moore and Musical Director Patty Parsons Tewson.

There are 10 families with more than one member in the cast be-tween sisters and brothers, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons.

Zane Lyon and Christine Es-tep take turns playing Tiny Tim. Steve d’Smith plays old Scrooge, while Ayden McGonigal, Aiden Burchmore, Kenny Pratt and Sam Brown take turns playing young boy Scrooge and Scrooge as a young man.

While the musical remains the same one they staged five years ago, nexStage Acting Company and Laughing Stock Theatre have matured in their telling of it, said Jamey Reynolds, who will play the Ghost of Christmas Present.

“Charles Dickens is not an easy man to figure out. ‘Great Expecta-tions,’ ‘David Copperfield’—there’s a lot of humanity in them. Jacob Marley in this play talks about charity and decency toward our fel-

Scrooge, played by Steve d’Smith, scares the dickens out of Annabelle Lewis, Blake Nelson, Blake Beckwith and Brooke Beckwith (from right to left). COURTESY PHOTOS

Pies benefit swim teamby Karen bossicK

Forget the cake walk. Or the cake swim, for that matter. The SV5B Swim Team is

auctioning off holiday pies on Wednesday, Dec. 22, to raise money for the non-profit swim team.

The team is collecting more than 60 pies prepared by local celebrities, sports personalities, restaurants, churches, cater-ers and families of the swim-mers. Some will be served in disposable tin pans. Swim team members are serving others up in handmade ceramic pie plates, shrink wrap and ribbons.

The pies will be auctioned off in a Pie Sale and Silent Auction from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 22, in the Lower Level of Giacobbi Square. A Live Auction for the super-deluxe, one-of-a-kind pies will be held from 2 to 3 p.m.

The donors’ names will be on the pies.

Rebecca Rusch, the nation’s top mountain bike racer, has stepped out of her clip-on ped-als long enough to bake a pie. Pendl’s Bakery, which used to tantalize Sun Valley residents’ senses with its European pas-tries in Ketchum, is sending a linzer torte over from Driggs. Penelope’s is contributing a lemon meringue pie and The Pioneer Saloon has promised a marionberry specialty.

Others contributing pumpkin chiffon and other varieties in-clude Galena Lodge, Rasberrys’ and Cristina’s.

“The presentations are sur-prisingly creative,” said orga-nizer Heidi Watanabe, whose daughter Kailey joined the team after seeing how much fun her

cousin Taylor Straley was having on the team.

The SV5B Swim Team was started by coach Brian Galla-gher as a 501 C team in 1995.

The kids swim laps five days a week during winter from school’s end to 8 each night at the Wood River Community YMCA. They practice at the Elkhorn pool dur-ing summer.

Though small, at 27 swim-mers, they’ve made waves, tak-ing first place in Division Three competition last month. The Wood River High School swim team, which features 19 of the 27 youngsters, won first place in the state for five years in a row as competition grew to 500 swimmers from 60 schools.

“Brian has a knack for bring-ing out the best in these kids,” said Melissa Fry, whose daugh-ters Elizabeth and Kaedi are on the swim team. “He swims every lap with these kids during practice, so he’s not asking them to do anything he wouldn’t do. And from the water, he can cor-rect mistakes a lot quicker than if he were standing at the side of the pool.”

Money raised from the sales of the pies will go to offset travel expenses to a three-day winter meet in Nampa and regional competition in Washington State.

A cAll for piesYou say you thrill to flour on your

hands and an apron clinched around your midsection? You have a talent when it comes to brandishing a roll-ing pin?

Feel free to donate one or two of your pies to the SV5B Pie Auction. And then pick up someone else’s creation at the auction.

To help, call Heidi Watanabe at 208-309-1999.

Did you know that in the U.S. an additional million tons of household waste

is generated between Thanksgiv-ing and New Year’s Day? That’s a 25 percent spike in waste! This year, give a gift to Mother Earth by going green. Almost one-third of the waste generated in the U.S. is from packaging. Look for recycled or recyclable paper goods (old newspapers and fabrics work well as wrapping paper). Send an electronic card; if every American sent one less card, we’d save 50,000 cubic yards of paper!

Don’t throw away unwanted gifts; re-gift them or donate them to organizations like The Gold Mine, Barkin’ Basement or The Advocate’s Attic.

Buy pesticide-free trees and trim them with energy-slashing LED lights. Each year 50 million Christmas trees are purchased, 30 million of which are trashed.

Recycle your tree or, better yet, plant it in your backyard!

Make your Christmas dinner with seasonal, local ingredi-ents—buy an organic turkey. Serve local and organic wines and beer. Use reusable dishes and biodegradable products that are compostable.

Buy fewer gifts. According to a national survey, 70 percent of Americans would welcome less emphasis on gift-giving and spending.

Make a donation to an envi-ronmental charity/nonprofit/proj-ect in a loved one’s name.

Remember, the holidays are not about gifts, but about cel-ebrating with family and friends and appreciating the blessings in life, including those gifts the Earth provides us with every day.

Happy Holidays from the ERC! Got a question, contact the ERC at 726-4333.

Give the perfect gift, to the Earth, that is!

Our Lady of the Snows Christmasby Karen bossicK

Snow Angels don’t just magically appear in the snow.

On Sunday they’ll appear at “Christmastime!”—an hour’s worth of Christmas music featuring the songs and arrange-ments of Michael W. Smith at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church on Sun Valley Road.

The concert—the church’s sec-ond annual Christmas concert--

begins at 6 p.m. It will feature the children, teen and adult choir members from the church, along with several guest solo-ists and singers from other church choirs.

“Our music tells the story of Christmas and is a lovely way to begin the week before Christmas,” said Judy Wells. “It will be set in our beautiful

new church, which many folks in the Wood River Valley still have not seen. And it gives hope that all is well in our world.”

The Snow Angels are a talented group of young singers ages 10 through 14 comprised of Alyssa Rizel, Tara Burchmore, Grace Gorham, Tess Burchmore,

Anne Marie Deffe, Elli Gorham and Kami Norbom.

They will be joined in tradi-tional and contemporary songs of the Christmas story by Louisa Waycott, Elsa Sweek and Hailey Zanes who all are home from col-lege for the holidays.

Other solos will be performed by Amy Stoll, Jim Jordan, Anita

Cleveland and Justin Wells.Wendy Norbom will narrate

the evening. Mary Poppen will direct it.

The concert is free but dona-tions will be accepted for the church’s youth ministry pro-gram.

briefsSt. Thomas presents performing arts day for children

Due to the popularity of our sum-mer Company B camp, St. Thomas Playhouse is pleased to announce a new one week performing arts pro-gram for young people during the Christmas school vacation: COMPANY B WINTERIZED. The camp will take place at St. Thomas Church from De-cember 27-31 for children ages 4-13. The younger set, ages 4-6, will attend from 9:00am until 12:30pm, and will sing as a chorus and learn scenes. Youth from 7-13 will attend a full day session (9:00am until 3:30), and will be featured in group and solo singing, movement, acting and scenework, monologues, and readings. All the

children will present a Variety Show to family and friends at 4:00pm on December 31 at St. Thomas Church.

Sara Gorby has put together a staff of experienced performing arts teach-ers and counselors, who have previ-ously worked in STP’s programs and camps. Returning will be Freddie Har-ris, Dawson Howard, Louisa Waycott, and Kristy Kuntz. High school men-tors and interns will be Mia Jefferson, Karlie Jeneson, and Emmet Fortuin.

The theme of COMPANY B WIN-TERIZED will be a journey back through the decades to explore the history of Rock n’ Roll and Pop music. All the children will have the time of

their lives singing and dancing to the Rock n’ Roll gems from the 1950’s on up to the present. The Variety Show will have a “Rock n’ Roll Scientist” tak-ing the audience on a Time Machine chronological journey of this upbeat genre of music.

St. Thomas Playhouse not only looks forward to having our former campers take part in COMPANY B WINTERIZED, but also any visiting grandkids, nephews & nieces, cous-ins, and young tourists. What a won-derful way for young people to keep busy during school vacation, by gain-ing artistic and creative growth, and HAVING FUN!

On a recent Thursday night, members of Cub Scout Pack 87 gathered

to paint murals for the walls of the gymnasium at the Hailey Armory. Nearly 20 scouts painted holiday scenes onto long sheets of paper, while the dads hung them up to make the room more festive for the re-cipients of the SBR Holiday Gift Basket Program. Moms mixed paint and ordered pizza for the hungry young artists. When all was finished, every wall featured colorful depictions of snowmen, stockings, Christmas trees, and even a jet-powered sleigh.

The scouts and their fami-lies enjoyed being a part of the massive Holiday Gift Basket Program. “We were all just amazed at the number of food and gift bags prepared for people in need in our community. It made us want to help with the program every year,” said Wendy Barckholtz, one of the den lead-ers in the pack.

In fact, the pack did get to help with the program in an-other way. When Julie Carney, another den leader with the pack, discovered she had collect-ed more money than she needed for the pizza, she asked pack members if she should refund the money or if they wanted to pitch in a little more and adopt-a-kid through the Gift Basket Program. It was unanimous and the scouts and parents were very excited to participate in bright-ening the Christmas of a young girl or boy.

“I think it was one of the most successful community service projects we’ve done,” said Barckholtz. “The kids worked hard, had a great time, and most importantly, LOVED helping out with such a large-scale com-munity project. It was a fun family event in the true spirit of Christmas - giving to others, as God first gave to us.” Thank you so much!

Moun-tain Rides staff and Board of Directors will have available and open, one of the 31’ and one of the 36’ buses at 5th and Leadville in Ketchum on Wednes-day, Dec. 15 from 2 to 2:30 p.m. The ribbon cutting will take place at 2:15 p.m.

These sleek new, low-floor buses from IC Bus with 2010 clean emissions are already running in the Mountain

Rides’ system and have replaced two of the older Valley Route buses, one bus for Town routes throughout Sun Valley and Ketchum and one bus for the Hailey Circulator route. These bus-es were ordered through DATTCO in New Britain, CT and Rush Truck Center in Boise, ID. The ARRA grant received by Mountain Rides to purchase these new buses totaled nearly $860,000.

“This was such a great opportunity to enhance our fleet of buses with cleaner, more efficient buses, while offering a high quality experience for our riders,” said Mountain Rides’ Ex-ecutive Director, Jason Miller.

“A Christmas Carol” is a timeless story that continues to touch hearts, no matter how often it’s been seen, said Keith Moore, who will portray Tiny Tim’s father Bob Cratchit for the fifth time.

“This is a labor of love for us,” he said. “And it truly has become a community tradition, just as we’d hoped it would.”

“We’ve got kids in it who were 7 when they started. And they’ve

Avoid these 3 mistakes when setting resolutions

by Jessica KisieL

Polls show that one-quarter of people who set New Year’s resolutions drop

their efforts by the end of the first week. This figure rises to a third by the end of the first month, and is over half at the conclusion of six months. Not very promising statistics, espe-cially since many resolutions are set to improve health. Losing weight tops the list as the most common resolution almost every year.

As a wellness coach, I work with clients to make positive life-style and behavior changes through progressive goals that bring them closer to living their personal vi-sion of optimal wellness. Many of the mistakes my clients make in executing their goals are the same ones people make with New Year’s resolutions.

Mistake 1: Focusing Only

on the OutcomeWeight loss is an outcome, a

result. Setting a resolution to lose weight only states what you want and gives no information on how to achieve it. Outcomes need to be supported by actions. Resolutions for exercise, nutri-tion, sleep and stress are needed to support an outcome of less pounds.

Mistake 2: Unclear Motivation

Why are you setting this resolution? Does it feel like a “should”? Do you feel obligated because someone told you to or it seems like the right thing to do?

Or is this desire coming from within you, and it is something you really “want”? Changes driven by internal moti-vation, a “want”, are much more likely to succeed than those placed upon us from

external sources, a “should”.Mistake 3: No

Accountability

It’s often easier to let our-selves and our priorities slide than the commitments we make to others. Consequently, when we try to break bad habits alone, we are more likely to give up when things get difficult. Having support is critical for achieving your resolutions. Tell people what you are doing, write it down and track your progress or find a buddy or group to keep you on track. These are three of the mistakes introduced in a teleclass, 7 Mistakes to Avoid When Setting Your New Year’s Resolutions. If you’d like to hear the other four, download the recording at http://www.alignedplay.com/events/resolutiongroup.shtml.

briefsKeynote speaker

named for the Wellness FestivalBest-selling author Gregg Braden

will be delivering the keynote speech to kick off the 2011 Sun Valley Wellness Festival over Me-morial Day week-end, organizers announced today. Mr. Braden sug-gests that many of the hottest issues at the core of our great social divi-sions—seemingly separate issues such as abortion, suicide, right-to-die and the death penalty, war, terror, genocide, poverty, abuse, economic collapse and nuclear proliferation are actually related. They all stem from the false assumptions of science that have compromised our core human values. Through a powerful synthesis of easy-to understand science and the wisdom traditions of the past, Braden will explore deep truths at the root of humankind’s greatest threats.

Gregg Braden is internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging sci-ence and spirituality. For more than 25 years Gregg has searched high moun-tain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to uncover their time-less secrets. His work is now featured on the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, the Sci Fi Channel and NBC. To date, Gregg’s discoveries have led to such paradigm-shattering books as The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, The Divine Matrix, and his newest, Fractal Time: The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age, which reached #5 on the New York Times bestseller list 2 weeks after its release.

Following a successful career as a Computer Geologist for Phillips Petro-leum during the 1970s energy crisis, he worked as a Senior Computer Sys-tems Designer with Martin Marietta Defense Systems during the last years of the Cold War. In 1991 he became The First Technical Operations Man-ager for Cisco Systems where he led the development of the global sup-port team that insures the reliability of today’s internet.

Today Gregg’s work is published in 17 languages and 33 countries and shows us beyond any reasonable doubt that the key to our future lies in the wisdom of our past.

Isbin’s strumming stunsby Karen bossicK

Sharon Isbin’s fingers looked like any others—until she touched them to the strings

of her acoustic guitar.They became a blur as they

gravitated back and forth between a hot flamenco evoking thoughts of a bullfight and the delicate maneuvers of someone picking out a melody on a piano.

Isbin, wearing black leather pants and dazzling silver ear-rings under her thick dark curly hair, played as if she was in a trance. And the audience at the

Church of the Big Wood was entranced with her.

“You are such a wonderful attentive audience,” she told those who had ventured out on a snowy night. “This is a very healthy place to play.”

An hour earlier, Dick Brown’s Anam Cara choir had served as an appetizer, blending together two dozen voices in a magnifi-cent a capella version of “Silent Night.”

Isbin continued the magic, kicking off the second Sun Val-ley Artist Series in grand style as she set one foot on a golden

foot rest while settling herself and her guitar into a throne-like chair.

“So delicate—like a feather,” murmured one audience member as she munched on sushi and other hors d’oeuvres following the concert.

The five-part Sun Valley Art-ist Series will continue on Jan. 8 with concert pianist Susan Spe-lius Dunning in what promises to be another display of ferocious dexterous finger work.

For tickets, call 208-725-5807 or go to svwas.org.

Scott Jordan, CEO and founder of SCOTTEVEST/SeV Travel Clothing has packed his bags for a unique journey. Actually, he hasn’t literally packed his bags, as that is the whole point of his company’s No Baggage Challenge.

The SCOTTEVEST No Baggage Challenge sends travelers to different places around the world without any bags, and documents their quests to redefine “traveling light.” But rather than sending some-one else on the Challenge, Jordan decided to undertake it himself, and is doing it all to benefit the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley with a donation of $5,000.

“Besides my business, two of my passions are my dogs and racing cars,” ex-plains Jordan. “For this No Baggage Challenge I will be traveling across the United States on a total of six flights to attend the Porsche Driv-ing Experience. While I need to leave my three poodles at home, I saw the opportunity to have some fun, experience the ‘challenge’ first hand, and give some money to my

favorite charity, the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley.”

Financial Planning Good advice from local businesses.

How to build your creditby cHarLoTTe WesTenDorF,

HaiLey brancH Manager, Us. banK

One of the most im-portant aspects of financing a home is to

establish a verifiable credit history. Believing that you should only spend what you have is a powerful way to remain financially disciplined, but liv-ing on cash alone does not help a first time homebuyer qualify for financing. Simply put - if you never use credit, you cannot prove your credit worthi-ness.

Lenders want to see that you have been granted credit in the past, and that you have the capacity to repay that credit in a timely manner. The easiest way for a mortgage lender to verify your ability to afford a house payment is by looking at previous loans you have received, and review-ing your payment history with those loans.

In considering this, the higher amount of credit you have received and been able to pay on time, the bet-ter your credit risk for home lenders and the easier it will be to obtain a home loan. Car loans, for example, provide better credit history than credit cards because car loans are annotated on credit reports as install-ment loans, which receive higher point consideration.

If you currently rent and are look-ing to buy a house, here are some suggestions that will help you build a

solid credit history and make the buying process easier for you:

Open a checking account. Although checking accounts do not appear on your credit report, they serve very useful credit purposes, especially when you use a checking account to pay rent. Without credit history, lenders will want to verify that you pay

rent on time. Receipts will not suffice, nor will money order stubs, because you must be able to prove rental in-come via cancelled checks in the event rental verification is necessary.

Apply for a credit card. Some financial institutions will issue small credit lines to people looking to establish credit history. Apply for a couple of credit cards on the same day. If a credit card company doesn’t accept you, look to a bank that issues secured credit cards. With secured credit cards, you put a dollar amount of your choice (usually from $300 to $5,000) into an account that is used solely for the purpose of issuing you a credit card. The credit card will appear on your credit report and help you build a good credit history. You’ll receive a credit card and use it ex-actly like you would any other credit card, including making monthly payments. If you don’t pay, the bank closes your account and pays off the card using the cash you put aside. (Under no circumstances should you ever allow this to happen. If you can’t afford the payments or can’t pay off the card, close it yourself and request

the money set aside be used to pay off the card. If you don’t, you’ll hurt your credit and negate the benefits of open-ing the credit card in the first place!)

Apply for a car loan. If you want to build a better credit history, having an installment loan on your credit history will help you faster. Even if your car is paid off, try to get a loan against the car. You may not be able to get a large loan, but any install-ment loan will help. You can use the proceeds from the loan to pay it off in six months if you want. In the mean time, however, you’ll have the benefit of a loan payment on your credit his-tory.

Allow yourself time to build credit. New credit on an otherwise blank credit report takes about six months to register credit scores. You must pay all your debts on time each month for this to help. The more credit you build, the more credit you will be able to obtain.

Building credit means being responsible with the money you bor-row. Implement one (or all) of these suggestions and you’ll be well on your way to establishing a good credit history. The most important thing is to start building your credit now, so you will be able to buy a home when you’re ready.

Handy RentalMy husband gets along great

with our neighbor, Jim. Sowell, in fact, that he oftenborrows his tools and forgetsto return them.

The other day we werecleaning out the garage whenJim stopped over to say hello.As we moved things around,Jim noticed his weed wackerand leaf blower on the shelf.That's when he said to myhusband, "Hey, do you mindif I bring my table saw overhere."

Perplexed, my husbandreplied, "Not at all, but why?"

Jim joked back, "I just fig-ured its best to have all mytools in one spot!"

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,I read your column every weekso I'm thinking you are the guysto help me answer this ques-tion: What is it with men andpower equipment? I know whatit’s like to have a shoppinghabit, but my husband has hisnose in the classifieds everySunday dreaming of a new trac-tor, leaf blower or snow blower.We got a dusting of snow theother day and he's ready to buya 10hp snow blower. Do menreally need all that power equip-ment or are they just trying toescape all the indoorhousehold chores? Ihave a whole list ofthings for him to do.Can you help this lonelyindoor woman?

• • •Cash: Only a 10hp snow

blower? Consider yourself lucky.He could be looking for a snow-plow and a new truck to go alongwith it.

Carry: It sometimes seems likepower equipment is a part of themale DNA coding. Just say theword "tractor" and many guysbegin to drool. And if we can findit in the classifieds for a fractionof the new cost, it sends chillsdown our spine.

Cash: It's kind of like whatmany women or teenagers feelwhen they shop at the mall. Finda Ralph Lauren designer outfit onthe clearance rack at 75% off andyou're walking out of the mall asproud as a peacock.

Carry: Do men really need allthis power equipment? Not really.But that's not the point. It's noteven that we are trying to avoid allthe inside work. But I have to behonest. It's difficult to get excitedabout a meager 10-amp vacuum.

Cash: When Makita manufac-tures a 15-horsepower dust buster,a hydrostatic riding vacuum or aturbo-charged washing machine,

men will begin lining up to do thehousework.

Carry: Our suggestion is to letyour husband have his smallpleasures as long as he holds uphis end of the inside chores.However if he's not, you canalways try to entice him into doinghousework. Consider placing the"Craftsman" emblem on the sideof the vacuum or put all the dust-ing and cleaning products in histoolbox. That may help drive thepoint home.

Cash: Just be careful. If hegets too excited about housework,you may one day find him dustingwith the power leaf blower.

Circuit BreakerAs any guy can tell you, not all

power tools were created equal.If you're buying an electric drill,circular saw or hand grinder youwant the most power for yourmoney. But comparing thesetools by horsepower may not giveyou the best result. It's better tocompare your tools by looking atthe amperage. The higher theamps, the more power it is likelyto have. And just in case you'rewondering, this same techniqueworks for comparing kitchenappliances.Deep Trouble Cycle

Most guys are not known fortheir cleanliness. However, whenit comes to tools, it can be a dif-ferent story. Here's a trick forcleaning all those wrenches andscrewdrivers after a greasy job.Your wife may not like the idea,but you can run most tools likescrewdrivers, sockets andwrenches through your dishwash-er's normal cycle. Since mostdishwashers have a drying cycle,rust is typically not an issue. Andwith the right detergent, youwon't even get any pesky spots!
