Eye Safety Systems (ESS)Reminiscent of
advice given to Dustin Hoff-
man in The Gradu-ate, John Donde-ro’s first business was in plastics. “I was passion-ate about kayak-ing and founded Natural Progression Kayaks in 1973,” he ex-plains. “It wasn’t sustain-able but it taught me about business, plastics, and product development.”
Two decades later, after de-veloping goggles for Scott USA and then a San Diego company (while still living locally), John founded his own business, Eye
Safety Systems (ESS), to produce plastic
safety goggles. “I put everything on the line,” he says. “I had two kids in college, but I’d made New
Year’s resolutions for four years to strike out on my own. I finally did it, resigning in 1998.” Friends and
connections helped finance the startup.
ESS’s first product was safety goggles for firefighters, following a shift in equipment standards that allowed goggles to replace face shields. John’s
break-through was to create a safety goggle that offered the performance of sports eyewear. In nine months, he patented and prototyped a comfortable, adjustable, non-fogging goggle that was heat and impact re-sistant and quick to attach/de-tach from a fireman’s helmet.
Succeeding in the fire mar-ket, John and his small team targeted military goggles. At the time, soldiers were using a standard-issue product not modified since 1945. John began to end-run procurement constraints—finding a Naval officer who allowed his flight deck sailors to try ESS brand

WRMS brings Shakespeare’s Shrew this Friday
Good ol’ Kate will get her dander
up again Friday when the Wood River Middle School Purple Team presents a Wild West version of “The Taming of the Shrew.”
Shakespeare’s mad-cap comedy will actually be performed by the Utah Shakespearean Festival’s 2010 Shakespeare-in-the Schools program.
Often referred to as the battle of the sexes, it revolves around Petruchio’s efforts to tame the headstrong shrew Kate with various psychological torments until she becomes an obedient bride.
Proceeds from the75-minute abridged version of the play, which is suitable for all ages, will benefit valley resident Greg Cordovano who was injured in a motorcycle accident in July.
Cordovano suffered a brain injury and is receiving therapy.
The show starts at 7 p.m. at the Commu-nity Campus Theatre in Hailey.
Tickets are $10 and available at the WRMS in Hailey and Iconoclast Books in Ketchum.

As a sophomore at Wood River High
School, Nathan Kniffen com-bines outstand-ing musical talent and excel-lent academics into a formidable package. Born at the old Moritz Commu-nity Hospital in Sun Valley, Kniffen has lived in the same house in Cold Springs his whole life. “I love the valley,” he said. “You have to appreci-ate how easy we have it here – like no 5 p.m. traffic jams. But we also have none of the great stuff that New York or L.A. has. It’s always tough to drive 70 miles to go to a mall. It’s also really isolated for music. There is no music scene here, per se, just bar bands. You can’t look for real opportunities unless you get out of here.”
Kniffen has had the op-portunity to travel extensively with family in California and Massachusetts. He has also seen Seattle, L.A., San Francisco and Boston. “I’d really like to go to school in a city and explore that life.” Last summer he was lucky enough to receive a scholarship to the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Massachusetts for a two-week guitar workshop. “It was really incredible, especially since I’m still pretty young. It’s the place I want to go to especially because they offer more than just guitar, but also producing, engineering and management. It gives you a lot more options in the business.”
In the meantime, Kniffen continues to get straight As at Wood River. “I love math, physics and statistics. Wood River is a great school even if it is a little isolated. I’ll try anything in math and sciences. I used to just be good at it and now I’m really starting to love it. It’s truly amazing how all these equations thought up by ancient man work every time. And they did this without computers and calculators.” Kniffen has achieved numerous academic honors, including being a member of the Na-tional Society for High School Scholars which helps him with future opportunities and schol-arships. He is also a member of National Honor Society, which looks at academics as well as
community service. Because he wants to put a lot of effort his junior and senior years into band and choir, he is getting a head start on mandatory courses by taking advanced placement statistical courses and English. He is also study-ing online, taking courses in speech, health, zoology and astrology.
In the meantime, most of his attention is on music, play-ing several instruments and singing with several groups. “I started playing guitar in fifth grade, added drums in sixth grade and taught myself how to play the bass in seventh grade. My dad’s a big music fan and was always playing music, so I’d hear about a band like AC/DC and I’d go home and he’d tell me all about them. I love blues, jazz, rock and metal. I play all of it, but I’m better at some than others. My favorite by far is metal and I love Metallica and Megadeth. There is tremendous skill in the instrumentals. It’s fast, hard, technical and inspiring.” As to the lifestyle of drugs and alcohol, Kniffen says that “personally, I’m not into it, but I’m around it a lot and try not to judge people too much. It’s their own personal choice.”
Although he plays a lot of instruments, guitar is his first choice. “I hear new songs and I want to go home and learn them and repeat the sound. I love performing. I’m so stoked to be on stage in front of an audience and doing what I love to do. It’s awesome.”
Here’s to a long and fruitful career being able to do what you love most.

…where your glass is always
at least half-full!
14,000 fastenersstory and Photos by
KAThLeen L. TURneR
That may seem like a small number after the recent news deluge of numbers
in the billions and trillions, but think of it in real bits and pieces. Fourteen thousand of anything is impressive. Take, for instance, rivets.
A local pilot found the right place for each and every one of 14,000 fasteners, and put an entire airplane together with the help of his son. Jim Her-bert, with considerable effort by son Zach on drilling, deburr-ing, dimpling and bucking all those rivets, now has a shiny new aircraft, tested and ready to fly, adding to the 50 hours currently logged.
The plane is fast, Herbert says, exclaiming,“It’s like a Fer-rari in the sky,” easily cruising at 185 mph. Herbert’s smile says it all. He’s pleased with the craft, which is scrupulously detailed and obviously very well cared for.
The graphics on the body include references to his navy squadron’s colors with Opera-tion Deep Freeze, spending a full year in Antarctica in 1969-70. The interior is perfect, with more instrumentation than most, two GPS monitors, and sweet leather seats embroi-dered with a logo that reads “Witch’s Brew,” underscored with the notation “haulin’ the fallen.”
Herbert explains that, in addition to being a pilot, he is also a member of the Hailey Fire Department, an advanced EMT and EMS instructor, as well as a task force leader and wilderness medic on call with the U.S. Forest Service. He’s served from Florida to Cali-fornia, working with hot shots and smoke jumpers. Embedded in such work, Herbert noticed a need for high-angle and low-angle rescue, extraction and stabilization, which form a veritable “witch’s brew” of challenges, thus, the formation of the company whose name is embroidered on the seats.
While serving in the U.S. Navy between 1967 and 1990, Herbert worked as an air crew-man, acting in a supportive role to the pilots. It wasn’t until he ended up in the Wood River Valley that he met flight instructor Art Lazzarini, who had built an aircraft called a “Long Easy,” at about a third to a half the cost of a comparable production plane.
That prompted Herbert to build his first plane, investing two and a half years and about 2,200 hours. This new plane, his second, took a little longer, somewhere around eight and a half years. In addition to the intricate and delicate plans, pieces and precision involved, Herbert explains that the FAA requires these types of aircraft be 51 percent of the builder’s own sweat equity, fulfilling an FAA requirement that amateur-built experimental aircraft ex-
periences be educational, and used for recreational purposes.
Herbert flew the RV-6A for the first time on August 28, 2009, setting up the test just like the military, acting as a test pilot assisted by a chase plane, crash crew and commu-nications crew. He prepared for months, checking and recheck-ing, reviewing what to do in emergencies should the need arise.
Gus Funnell, spokesman for Van’s Aircraft, the company that manufactures the RV-6A, noted that there are about 6,700 of the planes out there, and that the company has been supplying reliable, high-qual-ity plane kits for 30 years. The advantage, in addition to cost savings, Funnell said, includes customizing the instrumenta-tion to personal taste.
“I’ve never seen two RVs with the same instrumenta-tion,” Funnell said, adding that these planes do not require a Chuck Yeager to fly them, but allow pilots to tweak the basic design, personalizing the craft to flying habits.
To date, Herbert’s got 50
hours of flying time in his new plane. He intends to pass it on to son Zach, who graduates from Wood River High School this spring. Before handing over the keys, however, Herbert has some plans. He’s been a skier, guide and winter resi-dent in Idaho for a good long time and may be ready to leave winter for a place with a lesser latitude, doing a Jimmy Buffet route through the islands and trading fixed wings for a spin-naker sail.
Look for Herbert’s book, Summer’s Journey, to come out sometime in the near future. His photographs of what re-ally happens on the fire lines, documenting the sacrifices firefighters make in terms of families and relationships to secure others’ safety, will be compiled as a salute to this amazing group.
And, in the meantime, look for Jim with his “RV smile,” the one that says, “It doesn’t get any better than this,” as he slides the cockpit glass over his head and prepares to head for the sky.
Local pilot Jim Herbert stands next to his RV-6A aircraft, a product of his and his son Zach’s efforts, built from a kit that included 14,000 rivets.
Instrumentation inside Herbert’s RV-6A offers a customized cockpit that can be tailored to flight habits, unlike that of most production planes.

Birdhouse Builders wanted by ASWRV
COURTESY PHOTO (4/7 photos): The sale of birdhouses such as this one brought in approximately $3,500 last year for the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley. Volunteer birdhouse builders are needed for this summer’s sale.
Want to build birdhouses? The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley is looking for volunteers to build and donate birdhouses for the silent auction at its annual din-ner on July 16.
The dinner last year included a selection of more than 50 bird-houses, the sale of which raised approximately $3,500 for the shel-ter.
Volunteers can build and deco-rate a birdhouse or build it and turn it over to the shelter, which will give it to an artist for decoration. Artists are needed as well to deco-rate unadorned birdhouses!
If you are interested in building or decorating a birdhouse, contact Sheila Liermann at 208.481.0450 or e-mail her at [email protected].

Teacher Cassalia goes to Boston Marathon
by KARen bossIcKKristin Cassalia just made it
by a minute and 37 seconds.And, so, she’ll join as many
as 20,000 others in running the 26.2-mile Boston Marathon on Monday, April 19.
“My fourth-graders ask me, ‘Are you serious? You’re going to run that far?’ I tell them I didn’t wrap my head around it, either, until three years ago,” said the special education teacher at Woodside Elemen-tary.
Running wasn’t even on Cas-salia’s radar until she started tagging along with Bellevue first-grade English teacher Jessie Kolkmann as Kolkmann trained for a marathon.
Kolkmann encouraged Cassa-lia to try a 10K race and, within a year, Cassalia had run a half-marathon and signed up for the Boise City of Trees Mara-thon. She kept running—right into the Sawtooth Relay. And then she joined Kolkmann and fellow teacher Sarah Polk in running the Portland Marathon.
“All I wanted to do was beat my time in Boise. But I quali-fied for the Boston Marathon, running it in three hours, 39 minutes and 22 seconds—just under the cut-off time of three hours, 40 minutes for those ages 18 through 34. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime,” she said.
Cassalia is one of several valley residents who will be running at the 114th Boston Marathon, the world’s oldest marathon. About 20 family
members—from Syracuse, N.Y., to Florida—will join her, cheer-ing her on.
Sun Valley may not be the easiest place to train for a mar-athon given the winter snow. But Cassalia chalked up more miles on her Nikes than on her skis this year, running four to eight miles through Northridge, Deerfield and along Broadford Road before school started each morning. She ran 20 miles at a time on weekends.
“I tried to run where the roads were clear—you just have to be really careful,” she said. “But I love being outdoors. That makes it all worthwhile.”
Local Woodside Elementary fourth grade teacher Kristin Cassalia will be at the Boston Marathon Monday, April 19.

Ashley Dreyfus exhibits at age 12At age 12, Ashley
Dreyfus is about to
hold her first solo exhibition.
And the Wood River Middle School sixth-grad-er has plenty of material to choose from.
Her family’s Wood-side home is filled with her artwork—from hamburger sculptures to Bic Marker paint-ings—her latest rage since she discovered canvas boards last September.
The paintings demonstrate an eye for detail, a zest for color and a vivid sense of whimsy.
There’s an “uh-oh” portrait of Robot Rage, who has just dumped a cup of juice on itself. A colorful depiction of Dino propping its feet up on a skyscraper while reading a newspaper.
There are French fries with mouths and eyes. And glitter and sparkles exploding from lipstick, forming a rainbow.
There’s a picture titled “Cof-fee Crisis” of a woman waking up without her morning coffee. And a litter of cat pictures, including one titled “Dress-Up Day,” which features cats in ski togs, pizza aprons, tuxedos, gym sweats and other outfits.
“One idea leads to another,” said Ashley, a pixie-like girl who’s always scanning the ho-rizon for yet another idea.
An exhibit opening for Drey-fus’ art will be held from 5 to 8 tonight at The Coffee Grinder in Ketchum. Twenty percent of the proceeds from sales will go
to the Animal Shelter of the Wood River
Valley where Ashley volunteers when she’s not busy be-ing an artist.
The exhibit will continue at The Coffee Grinder for
at least a few weeks, said owner Nicola Potts.
“Ashley’s impres-sive. And the way
she has approached this whole thing is very
businesslike, very profession-al,” Potts added.
Artistic genes run in Ashley’s family. Her aunt is Betty Wood-man, considered one of the most important ceramic artists working today.
Ashley’s uncle works as a graphic artist for Pixar Studios.
Ashley has been building her own reputation. Her 3-D collage won an arts contest at the Hailey Public Library last year, beating out artists twice her age. She sold a piece at the NAMI Art Auction for $175. And her lime green Wizard of Oz chair with its striped stockings and the dress pumps on its legs was feted at the nex-Stage Theatre’s recent Chair-ity Auction.
“What I like about her work is that there’s always some kind of movement in it. You can feel something happen-ing… that there’s a story in the making,” said Ashley’s mother, Susan Dreyfus-Bates. “She’s extremely prolific, not one who takes a long time to decide. It just flows out of her. And she loves to take things, such as the Empire State Building, and
present them in a new way.”Ashley does her work on the
coffeetable in the family living room—where she’s been creat-ing things since she could sit up. Or in the back seat of the car on the way to swim meets. Or even in the waiting room of the doctor’s office.
Wherever she is, basically.She’s packed the guest
bedroom of her home to the ceiling with arts and crafts materials and found items that constituted other people’s junk.
Google eyes. Toothpicks. Even calculator letters and numbers that she grabbed when a friend dropped her cal-culator and was going to throw it away.
“You never throw anything away if you’re an artist,” said Susan.
Ashley can only display 2-D art at The Coffee Grinder. But her portfolio includes plenty of 3-dimensional pieces, includ-ing pencils transformed into chopsticks and a heart made of Starbucks straws, which pop
out begging viewers to touch them.
She’s covered pill boxes with vintage pop bottle tops, cre-ated her own bookmarks, and made her own Grammy Award, which she proudly displays in her bedroom.
“I’m not forced to do art. I just do it for fun,” she said. “Many times my ideas come during a nap or while I’m asleep. All I know is: There’s more to come. This is not the end of it.”

The epiphanies of Easter pastThere are numerous
intersections be-tween art and a
garden, wild or de-signed. A lot of na-tive plants, particu-larly in the West, sprout and thrive for a brief period. For instance, various fungi pop up overnight, and with any exposure to sun, they’re gone as quickly as they came. We can also see that here in the progression of flowers, as one wave supplants another. There’s also a creep uphill. A mountain bluebell thrives along Rt. 75 past Ketchum, and along streambanks. They’re gone by mid –June, but can be found in lush groves along alpine streams at 10,000 feet in August—the result of consistent moisture and cooler temperatures.
The same thing can be said of cultures. I spent parts of the last year revisiting the history of Art from the Renaissance to today. That involved the study of cultures—religion, war, politics, technology, commerce and the like—because art, like a garden, does not exist in a vacuum. Art is the flowering of a society, an indice of its health (I’m amazed Haiti has all the art it does). Cul-tural historians have remarked that the arrival of ‘high’ urbanized civilization in Sumeria and Babylon Mesopotamia/Iraq) from 3500 B.C. on was accompanied by the appearance of gardens. So a garden is, literally, a societal bloom, espe-cially botanical gardens and arboretums, or the meditative spaces of monastic Kyoto. Even the Habitat is a tiny symbol of community health. It represents a counter-cultural idea in a public context, a sort of freedom of expression that is the lifeblood of all creativity.
One thing I’ve noticed is how brief the greatest outbursts of genius energy actually were. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but the Universe was born in less than a second. The Middle Ages officially ended in 1453, but the High Renaissance was over by 1530—a healthy stretch, yet so much in so little time. The great explosion of 17th-century Dutch art took place in a 50-year period that
mirrored the life of Rembrandt. Impressionism ‘as we know it’ lasted for a decade—the 1870s.The ascendancy of post-war American art has paralleled our projection of geopolitical power over the last half of the 20th century.
These brief, condensed observations are meant to point out some of the parallels be-tween art, gardens, political power (or, if you will, health and happiness) and the constancy of change in the natural world. Our inter-connec-tion with that world and its forces runs deep.

The Punch line
I can never please you! You begged for broadband, I delivered, and you’re still not happy!! 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.
The Messenger touches war
The heartbreaking pain of the Gulf War and Af-ghanistan is new territory
for filmmakers. The film The Hurt Locker stole the Academy Awards and brought tremen-dous attention to American audiences of the conflict at hand. Like a companion piece, the equally moving and absorb-ing The Messenger also brings home the pain of war, although its focus remains on the war at home, its story rooted in the aftermath of war and its devas-tating effects.
The story revolves around the role of the men that must notify parents and loved ones
of the loss in battle of a significant other. In Army parlance, it’s called bereave-ment notification and it’s a difficult job any way you call it. In The Messenger, we fol-low two sergeants, one played superbly by Woody Harrelson as a recovering alcoholic with one foot off the wagon, and the other, his new assistant, in a star-making performance by Ben Foster. In a series of vignettes, we experience the difficulty of their job as the news is delivered stoically and “by the book” only to be met with anguish, anger and sometimes graceful acknowl-edgment. At the heart of the film is a taboo relationship that Foster develops with a widow,
Samantha Morton, and her young son. For
Morton’s character, still in mourning, the relationship is as difficult as it is poignantly played by the two actors.
The film is beau-tifully written and
directed by an Israeli war veteran, Oren Mover-
man. It seems to have a rhythm all its own and the material is handled with a sensitivity rare-ly seen in movies these days. The performances are a revela-tion, particularly Harrelson’s, whose pain is layered upon layer to help hide his intense insecurities. Foster and Morton are his match, especially in their courtship scene, when the power of the divide this war has caused comes home.

goggles. The sailors liked them! Thus began the campaign to have ESS goggles registered as permissible military eyewear. First, the Navy gave the OK; af-ter a few more years of persis-tent selling, the Army did, too. Now, ESS is the number one supplier of military eyewear in the world, with clients in 94 countries. It also produces eye protection for law enforcement and fire and rescue profession-als.
John’s initial business plan for ESS was just 10 percent of what it has achieved. “It’s been unbelievable,” he says. Watch-ing a televised news report one day, he happily saw that all the soldiers were wearing ESS goggles. On his wall is a framed Time Magazine photo of four Marines carrying a wounded buddy. Two of them wear ESS goggles; the other two have another brand lying use-less on their helmets. “When the product is good, people will wear it, and when it isn’t, they won’t.” John then shows a photo of a soldier with a fragment wound near his right eye. “If he’d been wearing our goggles, he wouldn’t have that wound,” he states, detailing the protection ESS goggles offer against high-speed explosive fragments.
ESS was purchased by Oak-ley, Inc., in 2007, but John is still CEO and president. “There were no strings with the sale,” he offers, “but I have a passion for the business and mak-ing better products.” He also likes working with his team of
roughly 30 employees, all hired from within the Valley, not to mention ESS’ seven-person worldwide sales force.
Reflecting on his biggest challenge, John describes “the sale of ESS. It wasn’t expected, but suddenly we had several suitors. I was negotiating with shrewd, sophisticated, big fish and had a lot on the line. I needed to make sure they wouldn’t box me in to their advantage.” He had a good team of his own, however, and, ultimately, the sale was, as he says, “the fulfillment of what anyone could dream for.”
John keeps a low profile, but it’s clear that he’s a practical, tenacious man with strong convictions. What’s his advice for start-up entrepreneurs? “Be realistic,” he says. “It’s natural to have big plans, but they rarely turn out as imagined, for one reason or another. Listen to others, because they will help bring you down to earth. But remember, too, that they don’t know everything.”

Rum Cake by Kim Shaw
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking oil spray with flour (Bakers Joy). Sprinkle chopped pecans over bottom of pan. Stir cake mix and pudding to-gether in large mixing bowl. Add rum, 1/2 cup of water, oil, and eggs. Beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer. Pour batter over nuts and bake for 45-50 minutes.
About 5 minutes before cake is ready, prepare the glaze. Place sugar, butter, 1/4 cup rum and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan and boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove cake from oven and slowly drizzle glaze over the top while cake is still hot. lt will take several applications to use all the glaze. Cool cake in pan for 30 minutes before unmolding. Finish cooling on a wire rack.
Note: Due to the altitude of the Wood River Valley, I add two (2) tablespoons of flour to the mix.

a recipe…from my table to yours Light on the Mountains Humanitarian Award: Cheryl WelchCheryl Welch
considers it a labor of love
to pair customers up with the right book.
She can’t recall how many times one of those cus-tomers has come back and told her, “Your book saved my life.”
“And when 9/11 unfolded, people flocked to the book-store to try to understand how that could have happened. They bought every book I had on the Middle East and Islam. Books are just so important in our world,” she said.
Welch’s unflagging care and concern hasn’t gone unnoticed.
On Saturday, Welch will be awarded the Ann and Doug Christensen Humanitarian Award for her service to the community in a luncheon at 11:30 a.m. at the Sun Valley Lodge Dining Room. The award is given each year by the Light on the Mountains Spiritual Center to honor those who have worked to improve the quality of life for people in the community.
“She’s so totally committed to our community. She helps anyone who walks through the bookstore. And she never has a mean thing to say about anyone,” said Dolora Deal.
“What kind of a person would take the time to re-search the unique interests of every graduating senior at Silver Creek High School, select a book to match, and then pro-vide that book as a gift from Chapter One at their gradu-ation? That person is Cheryl Welch,” said Mary Gervase, executive director of the Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival.
A Pocatello native, Welch moved to Ketchum 35 years ago to teach at Hemingway
Elementary School, making good on a
childhood promise.“My dad helped
build the road to Redfish Lake and I remember spending the
summer in Stanley waterskiing at Red-
fish while he worked on it. I remember coming
through Ketchum and standing with Mom outside what used to be the Western Café and telling her, ‘Mom, this is where I want to live,’ ” Welch recalled.
She switched to daycare to ensure she had a little more of herself left over at the end of the day to spend with her five-year-old daughter Holly (now Holly Mora of High Altitude Fit-ness). While working daycare, Welch went to a lecture at a bookstore and was so fasci-nated, she asked for a job. She started the next day and never left, buying Chapter One out in 1989.
While Cheryl is most readily identified with her bookstore, her reach has traveled far be-yond the bookstore.
She helped found the Sun Valley Mountain Wellness Fes-tival 13 years ago to shorten the slack season that began when the chairlifts shut down in April and continued until mid-June.
She has long partnered with the Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival and the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference.
She helps Santa out each Christmas with The Giving Tree, which provides books to 300 to 400 children in the Valley.
She sells tickets for just about every event in town, ask-ing no compensation in return.
She advocates for The Advo-cates for Survivors of Domestic Violence. And she’s waved many a sign on behalf of wild
horses, PETA, Greenpeace and the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley.
In quieter moments, Welch is passionate about the from-scratch lemon cake her friend Dolora Deal bakes for her birthday, which coincides with the Wellness Festival. Despite her slim 5-foot-5 stature, “she will absolutely eat all of it her-self,” noted Deal.
And, just as Welch has bucked the world of big box stores to run an indie book-store, she has thumbed her nose at the computer.
“I showed her how to do an Excel spreadsheet, but she continues to manage all that chaos with pieces of paper in her little notebook,” Deal said. “As the eldest of 12 children, I think she learned to juggle a lot of balls. She’s also a very gentle soul. She never wants to hurt anyone. I’ve never seen her try to push things through. She believes what goes around, comes around.”
Welch credits the faith of her Irish-Catholic grandmother and a sojourn to an ashram in India for her commitment to compassion.
“Rather than being in a mind that’s judgmental and nega-tive, I try to stay in a state of consciousness that’s loving. I don’t like a lot of conflict, anyway. One friend told me, Cheryl, I just found it’s easier to be nice.’ And I’ve found that myself,” said Welch, who’s forever addressing friends and strangers with words like “sweetie” and “honey.”
Welch has cultivated friend-ships with scads of authors and celebrities, and a phone call from her quickly translates into a keynote speaker for the Wellness Festival or a Christ-mas book signing by the likes of Maria Shriver and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
On one occasion, she recalls,
actor Tom Hanks popped in, lamenting that he had missed a book signing by “1776” author David McCullough.
Welch placed a phone call to McCullough and soon Mc-Cullough and Hanks were col-laborating on an HBO mini-se-ries on the life of John Adams and the American Revolution.
Welch says she owes Sun Valley’s second homeowners a big thank you. That includes one client who buys $3,000 worth of Christmas books at Chapter One, paying to ship them home. And Boiseans who will buy a stack of books at Chapter One even though they could knock 40 percent off the price at Barnes and Noble.
“The second homeowners will call me from California and say, ‘Do you have this and that? Good, I’ll wait and buy the books when I get there.’ Other part-timers will drive into town and say, ‘This is our first stop,’ as they sign up for The New York Times,” she said.
“Our clients want to support us. They come in and say, ‘Oh good, everybody’s still here.’ I think they like seeing people they know and can count on. I
guess you don’t always get that in bigger cities.”
Cheryl’s favorite booksWhat in the world does a book-
store owner read when she goes home at night?
Cheryl Welch has a fondness for books dealing with spirituality (note the book on the spiritual side of skiing and snowboarding cur-rently sitting on the counter) and animals (that’s why there are so many dog and horse books in her store).
Here are her favs:“Modoc: The True Story of
the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived”—“An incredible story about an elephant that’s full of adven-ture and life.”
Books by Walt Whitman –“There’s so much more to the man than being a poet. He even served as a nurse during the war.”
“Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place” by Terry Tem-pest Williams—“It’s just a beautiful book.”
“Siddhartha”—“An interesting story about one man’s journey to find enlightenment.”

Olympian Graham Watanabe, who grew up in Hailey, signed au-tographs of a poster he designed himself for longtime friends like Midge Patzer and John Koth and a host of youngsters Sunday after-noon.
PHOTO: KAREN BOSSICK/TWP
Graham Watanabe knew he was the third fastest man in the world on the
Snowboardcross World Cup Circuit this year.
And the polo shirt he wore branded him as a competitor in the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver.
But he didn’t know he was a celebrity answer in a game.
Physical therapist John Koth informed him of that Sunday as he told of playing a cha-rades-like game at a friend’s house the night before.
Koth demonstrated how the person impersonating Graham depicted a form of snowboard-ing more akin to someone about to lose it on a balance ball. And then he made the sign for slanted eyes.
“I’m not worthy,” Watanabe laughed.
Watanabe got to meet and greet lots of old friends Sunday afternoon as he signed autographs,
offered slices of cake decorated with
miniature snowboard-ers and urged people to
enter a raffle for ski helmets and other gear at The Galleria.
Watanabe, who grew up in Hailey, said he thrilled to the raucous cheers from the crowd he heard as he scored the second fastest qualifying run in snowboardcross at the Olympics. The Olympic village itself? “Nothing exciting about it. It’s just a lot of bedrooms,” he said.
And while he made the World Cup podium, it seemed that his most recent experience heli-boarding in Alaska was the highlight of his season.
“I’ve heli-boarded in New Zealand. But it wasn’t Alaska,” he said. “The mountains in Alaska are amazing—craggy, all that powder…”
Watanabe skied Baldy over the weekend—“I try to ski at least one day a year,” he said.
Following his thank you to the community for its sup-port, he will return the training center at Park City where he hopes to spend a little time at the university in the next few months, studying graphic art.
He plans to take up com-petitive snowboarding again in December.
“I’m healthy. And I’m not broke. So, I figure, why not?” he said.

Healthy and balanced eating; not just what our parents used to do
When my mother put dinner on the table, it was well balanced and
delicious. It constituted a meal of clean foods- rich in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals just as she had been taught through generations of English country people. She made sure as best as she could that our food was free of additives, growth hormones or pesticides and that our meals were made from scratch with natural ingredients.
Today, food choices and preparations have changed radically from the way we used to nourish ourselves just 50 years ago. This new way has compromised our health and vitality and is destroying us.
In this country, we have con-sumed the refined foods for so long we have forgotten how to eat healthy. Our produce de-partments and grocery shelves are lined with unknowns - pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, chemicals, addi-tives - stripping our food of itʼs inherent nutritional value.
Our processed food diets are so lacking in nutritional value that we are eating more and more just to feel full and satisfied. The foods we eat today are less capable of helping us to maintain physi-cal and emotional balance. We
have become a society that is artificially sustained and it can be seen in the rise of chronic illnesses.
Our diets have weakened our immune systems. Heart disease and cancer were rare at the turn of the twentieth century, they run rampant today. In America, one in three people die of cancer; one in three suffer from allergies; one in five will have mental illness. One in five pregnancies ends in miscarriage and a staggering number of children are born with defects, not to mention the number of disorders, such as autism and ADD. Other degenerative diseases, like ar-thritis, MS, digestive disorders and diabetes, are now showing up in alarming amounts in chil-dren. These diseases were ex-tremely rare only a generation ago. Even old diseases such as tuberculosis are making a comeback, and are now more resistant to drugs than ever.
We need now, more than ever, to relearn how to eat healthy and we can do this by reconnecting to the values and traditions of our ancestors and non-industrialized cul-tures. By following the ways in which they bought and cooked their food to ensure a balanced nutritious meal.
For example, investigators from Rockefeller University
went to the Island of Crete, to learn why its people, although existing under extreme poverty, were unusu-ally healthy and lived long lives. These people live on a basic diet of fruits, vegetables, legumes, lean meats, grains, and olive oil and a glass of wine. Simple, fresh, local foods.
We too can become a healthier nation by add-ing these simple foods back onto our tables. By filling our homes with cost effective staples like legumes, grains, and nuts, fresh vegetables and occassionallly some naturally raised meat products and fish. By going back to shopping at local farmers markets spring-ing up in every town just as our ancestors did in years past our kitchens again can be sup-plied with fresh, seasonal pro-duce, eggs and organic bread. We can reclaim our power to become physically healthier, mentally sharper and emotion-ally more stable.

We all like compact fluo-rescent bulbs (CFL) for their long life and energy efficiency, but we don’t so much like the small amounts of toxic mer-cury that’s inside each fluores-cent bulb, both long-tube and compact ones. We often get questions about how to safely dispose of CFLs and whether they should be used in the first place. Here are the answer
You can safely dispose of unbroken CFL bulbs (not long-tube bulbs) at the Environmen-tal Resource Center in Ketchum and at Hailey City Hall. It is critical that you not break the bulb, as this will release the toxic mercury vapor. Other-wise, they are completely safe to handle. Do NOT take them to the Ohio Gulch Recycling Center as they will simply throw them in the trash.
If you do break one, leave the
room to air out for at least 15 minutes and pick up the pieces with a stiff sheet of paper and duct tape for the smaller pieces. Do NOT vacuum or sweep or dump them down the drain. More specific guidelines can be found at: www.epa.gov/mercury/spills
Though these bulbs contain a small amount of mercury, they save an incredible amount of energy when compared to incandescent lights. Because most power plants, especially coal, emit mercury when gener-ating power, you actually cre-ate significantly less mercury with a CFL than you do with an incandescent bulb over the life of each. And you get to pocket the savings from your electric bill.
For more information call the ERC at 726-4333.

Mark your Calendar for KAFThe Ketchum Arts Festival (KAF) is serving up
another great celebration of art and artists this summer, July 9-11, 2010. The Ketchum Arts Festi-val, celebrating its 11th anniversary this year, was started in 1999 by a group of six Wood River Valley artists who lacked a venue to sell their creations.
The festival is still run by a board and steering committee composed entirely of local artists. The Ketchum Arts Festival is one of very few venues of its kind remaining in the United States, according to The Crafts Report.
This year’s festival will feature over 100 artist’s booths, free live entertainment all day long, and great food and beverages. Admission and parking are free.

Complex BluesLast month I rented an apart-
ment to a young man. Heseemed really nice and movedin rather quietly.
At the end of the first month,he knocked on my door to deliv-er the rent check. Trying tomake light conversation, I askedhim how everything was going.At first he replied, "Not bad",but then continued by telling methat the people above himwould occasionally stomp onthe floor around midnight.
I immediately responded with"That's pretty rude. Do youwant me to speak with them?"
"Don't worry about it," hereplied. "I'm usually up lateanyway playing my trumpet."

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,After my messy divorce, I decid-ed that I couldn't live on thesame coast with my ex-hus-band, much less the same stateor town. It's not only him, but allof our mutual friends who havelost the ability to have an objec-tive conversation. All they askabout is my ex and when we'regetting back together. So I'mlooking for a new job near SanFrancisco and plan on movingas soon as possible. Now I'mpanicking at the thought of mov-ing with nowhere to live. I'vechecked some classified sec-tions on-line, but I haveno idea how to pick anapartment sightunseen. Do you haveany tips that will shedsome light on this situation?
• • •Cash: If you think moving is
tough, just remember, it could beworse. You could be moving withyour ex-husband.
Carry: It sounds like thischange will be good for you. It'snot only a fresh start after yourdivorce, but a great opportunity tomeet some new friends.
Cash: Luckily, you have a lotof options. If you know someoneout in San Francisco, he or shemay be able to help you out.
Family or friends are a greatresource when moving to a newtown, and they might look atprospective apartments for you.
Carry: You might even staywith them for a little while whenyou move out, at least until youcan find a place of your own.Although, just be careful not tooverstay your welcome.
Cash: We have a friend whomoved to the area and is stayingwith his brother until he finds aplace. He's finally moving outnext week, after two years!
Carry: I'm sure you'll be a littlequicker than he was at finding anapartment . Your new employer
may be helpful as well. It's possiblethey could make a recommendationor offer a temporary residence untilyou find an apartment of your own.The company may even help withyour moving expenses.
Cash: Although, there is nosubstitute for visiting a city beforeyou move. If you can, take a weekor two to travel to the locationswhere you're applying for a job.Consider looking at apartmentswhile you are there, either fromthe classifieds or using a realestate agent.
Carry: And who knows, afterthe move maybe some new friendswill help you meet Mr. Right.

There could be no better Fur Ball committee than Carrie Morgridge, Neil Morrow, Na-dia Novik, Andrea Parker and Marina Broschofsky, who proved creative AND frugal. Thanks to emcee Chris Koch for stirring up the action; An-drea Parker at the Barkin’ Basement and Tricia Pascoe at Sun Valley Bro-
kers for handling ticket sales at a crazy pace. Mike Baledge and Phil Rainey from the Hailey Fire Depart. proved to be generous friends of the Shelter. Everyone at The Mint, from the bartenders to security, embraced the benefit and made it happen.
These days it is sometimes dif-ficult to find event sponsors, espe-cially for a first-time unproven event. Thanks to DL Evans, Thunderpaws Pet Shoppe, Hailey Coffee Compa-ny, Sun Valley Brokers, KECH/KSKI, and Yo Mama Productions.
The Fur Ball netted $10,800! With the economy in the tank, this money really counts. To put it in perspec-tive, $10,000 will pay for about half of the free and low-cost spay and neuter clinics offered by the Animal Shelter this year. While some of the male dogs might not be thrilled, this does demonstrate how a fun and af-fordable event really can make a dif-ference.
Thanks to everyone for being a part of what I hope is an ongoing event in the Wood River Valley.
Sheila Liermann, Fur Ball Chair-person and Board of Directors, Ani-mal Shelter of the Wood River Valley. **15**

For the first time, Boulder Mountain Clayworks is offer-ing an intermediate clay class for teenagers. This class meets the week of July 26 and will concentrate on size and culminate in a tea set.

Welcome to Summer with the Environmen-tal Resource Center.Know your home! Love your
home! Warm days, cool nights, and mountains serve as the backdrop for our Valley’s center-pieces: creeks, rivers, sagebrush, forests, wild-life—and you! We invite you to take an active role in connecting with our amazing Valley this summer. The Environmental Resource Center is committed to providing fun and meaningful ex-periences for children and families through our day, evening, and overnight adventures.
Each program focuses on environmental edu-cation—nature and science, and our role within it. At our programs’ end, you’ll have a deeper connection to our Valley, a better understanding of its natural phenomenon, and an understand-ing of how we impact all of this—and what we
can do to help sustain the Valley we love.Our programs—especially our overnight
camps—are a bit different from a typical camp. We achieve our goals by spending days in the field with experienced teachers. Each day builds on the knowledge and discoveries made the day before, allowing participants to expand and apply newly-gained expertise. We also keep our group sizes small so that we can create a sense of community among participants.
We create meaningful, hands-on experiences that draw on your child’s (and your!) imagina-tion and love of play to help them discover and learn about the natural world. Summer will be here before you know it, and we can’t wait to share it with you! Discounts and scholarships keep our camps affordable. Interested? Call 726-4333 or visit www.ercsv.org.

Hailey Public Library
Public libraries, through their sum-mer reading pro-
grams, put books in the hands of children. This is the best antidote for the summer slide in children’s reading achievement. Ac-cess to books and library programs over the sum-mer results in more read-ing which, in turn, results in improved reading skills
If you’re entering 1st-8th grades in the fall, join the Hailey Public Library’s summer reading program, “Make A Splash/Catch the Wave.” Come to the library to register during the week of June 7-12. At registration you will receive a sum-mer reading packet that will include your reading log. The program will start June 14 and end on August 4. En-joy a big party for all sum-mer reading participants at our “Wet and Wild Fun Finale” at Cutter’s Park on Friday, August 6 from 1-3 p.m. There will be games, prizes, drawings, and other surprises.
This year we will also offer a summer reading program for adults. Stop by the library for more information, or call 788-2036.

Kinder Welt Preschool
Kinder Welt is the only preschool of its kind. Our focus is to involve children in the community while encouraging learning. We have arranged visits by the Bellevue Fire Department; weekly storytime at the Bellevue Public
Library; ceramic painting at the Bella Cosa Studio; a school year music class; and even pumpkin picking at Webb Landscape. School pictures are an annual event as well for all the attending children. Also included is a children’s summer yoga class and a curriculum that advances a child’s confidence and expands their knowledge. The summer is the best time to witness everything Kinder Welt has to offer.
Kinder Welt Preschool and Daycare LLC is owned and operated by Cheryl Zim-merman. Prior to founding Kinder Welt, Zimmerman taught preschool for years at various locations. After learning how precious a child’s education truly was, she wanted to offer the Valley something different and affordable. All of the things Kinder Welt represents are designed with one concept in mind—family. We created a preschool and daycare where all parents are treated with respect and recognition that life is full of adventure. Due to this philosophy, Kinder Welt’s first year has been a resounding success. Little River
PreschoolLittle River Preschool is entering its 15th year of providing a summer program
for children in the Wood River Valley. The program is designed to provide a physically safe, emotionally nurturing and intellectually stimulating envi-
ronment. The preschool’s philosophy is based on the belief that children learn through active exploration of the world around them. The director, Mrs. Tifny Lago, and her staff, have designed 12 exciting weeks of themed activities. Some of the themes highlighted are Arts & Crafts, Outdoor Idaho, Happy Birthday USA, Growing a Garden, The World of Insects and Bugs, Yahoo Buckaroo Cowboys & Cowgirls, A Tropical Paradise, A Pirate’s World, The Beauty of Colors, and What Takes Place on a Farm. Some of the activities will include field trips related to the themes. All in all, kids, get ready for a fun-filled, busy summer for 2010! The pre-school is also accepting applications for the upcoming 2010/2011 school year. For application and enrollment information, please call Mrs. Tifny at 788-7702 or come by the school at 511 S. Main St. in Hailey.

Luther HeightsAdventure is waiting for you this summer at Luther Heights!
Programs include: on-site camps for youth entering 1st –12th grades and an off-site junior high trails program; senior high backpacking trips and ser-
vant events. Youth can participate in swimming, canoeing, archery, group games, a variety of special interest activities, horseback rides, worships and Bible studies.
Campers are welcomed by trained college-age counselors chosen for their love of youth, their maturity and their willingness to share their faith and life with youth. Counselors and campers will live together in community for a week, meanwhile sharing a cabin space with 4-7 other youths.
Luther Heights offers two family camps, July 2-5 and August 6-9. The weekend includes activities and programs geared specifically for adults and children, both separately and together.
Our ultimate goal with each camp group is to establish a Christian community in which people have fun, are inspired, are encouraged to love one another, help and serve one another, appreciate and forgive one another, communicate earnestly with one another, achieve new insights about themselves, and discover Christ’s influ-ence in their lives.
Luther Heights is accredited by the American Camping Association www.aca.org.Developed exclusively for the camp industry, this nationally recognized program
focuses on program quality, health and safety issues, and requires us to review every facet of our operation. For your assurance, we have voluntarily submitted to this independent appraisal done by camp experts and have earned a mark of distinction.

Miss Laura’s Childcare
Miss Laura’s childcare gives children the chance to truly enjoy summer. It is a gently structured adventure that allows children to play, interact with other children, and have fun, while learning social skills, respect, responsibility
and creativity. Children strengthen their scholastic and pre-K requirements and have fun at the same time. Toddlers received the encouragement and nurturing they need to help them develop into enthusiastic, confident preschoolers. Days are filled with games, physical activity, music, crafts and imagination. Playing, swinging, sliding, splashing, laughing, climbing, singing, and just downright child-ish fun are on the agenda for Valley children age 2-5. Summer is a magical time for children and Miss Laura’s has a homey atmosphere with an extended-family experience, in a fully-equipped and certified childcare center.
Full-day, half-day and part-time care is provided in a nurturing, educated and cheerful environment. Drop-ins are accepted with reservations. Miss Laura’s has been providing childcare in the Wood River Valley for more than 10 years.
A child has only ONE childhood and should be allowed the opportunity to enjoy it. Let your children have fun this summer while learning at the same time.
Miss Laura’s Childcare Center: 928-7418.

The Mountain School For the past three summers, The Mountain School has provided a truly unique day
camp experience for Wood River Valley children. Our program provides first-hand experience with our school’s amazing farm, animals, bountiful gardens and out-
door spaces. The Mountain School beautifully balances the outdoor aspect by inter-twining arts, crafts and music.
Throughout the entire summer, our farming and permaculture programs introduce the students to simple, ethical and energy-efficient living through work with gardening, greenhouse use and animal husbandry. This practical magic with the school’s resident animals (chickens, ducks, goats, rabbits, a cow, miniature horses, and honey bees) is a deep connection for the young or older child. The arts program includes: singing, drum talk, cooperative games, painting, sculpture, drama, movement and dance, drawing and handwork.
Wilderness skills are developed by archery, primitive wilderness skills and explor-ing. Come play with us on our trails, small creeks and nearby river environment or find daily changes transpiring in the rich garden life. Our indoor environment is as enchant-ing as our outdoor environment, with the indoor greenhouse and art room; kitchen for cooking the bounty from the farm and garden; our handmade and natural fiber toys and crafting materials; or playing in the cozy castle or tree house.
The Mountain School’s Summer Camp Program has been a success in introducing the school, our idyllic campus and the philosophy of Waldorf education into the commu-nity. It provides an environment that sets the foundation for a lifelong connection to the environment and balanced living.

Hailey Public Library and Teen Tech Week
By KAREN BOSSICK
You often hear of the wis-dom of the elders.
But this past week it was the young teaching the elders.
Four Wood River High School seniors answered questions for nearly two dozen seniors who showed up at the Hailey Public Library with questions pertaining to computers, cell phones, the Internet and digital cameras.
The seniors asked about downloading photos, Google entourage, how to organize e-mail addresses, how to set up a Facebook account and how to create a personalized home page offering the top 10 things that mattered most to them, from the weather forecast to YouTube to CNN News.
And the teens—Kaili Smith, Rachel Maier, Sydney Brower and John Crotty—answered back, with Wood River High School librarian Geraldine Ma-niere and Wood River Middle School librarian Susan Ta-bor-Boesch providing backup support.
“They did a wonderful job. They were very patient,” said Geraldine Maniere, the high school librarian.
The event was part of Na-tional Teen Tech Week and was sponsored by the Hailey Public Library, Wood River High School and Wood River Middle School, said Hailey Public Li-brary librarian Jeanie Johnston.
The event included a private tour of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ exhibition, “I Spy: Surveillance and Security.”
Wood River High School Senior R.J. Forgeon presented a claymation video he’s been working on to members of the
Blaine County Teen Advisory Council (BCTAC) and the Unit-ed Hispanic Leaders of Wood River Middle School.
And Wood River Middle School librarian Susan Tabor-Boesch constructed a display of old technology, including a record player, filmstrip ma-chine, old-fashioned popcorn popper and electric typewriter.
The electric typewriter in-trigued the kids, Maniere said.
“It was new to them, but old.”
Students John Crotty at the table and Kaili Smith in the center, standing, were among four high school students who took on seniors’ computer and digital photography questions.

The BCRD and Commu-nity Partners Once Again Bring “Miles of Smiles” to
local children with gift of new bicycles
For the third year in a row, a truly exciting opportunity will be a reality for chil-dren in need in the Wood River Valley. Thanks to the in-credible generosity of Valley residents Brian Ross and Susan Reinstein, the “Miles of Smiles” bike program will be offered again this summer. This unique and inspiring program en-ables pre-qualified children in need to receive free, brand new bicycles providing them with transportation to school, exercise, an avenue to learn responsibility and safety and a to have some FUN!
With the belief that every child deserves a bicycle, Re-instein/Ross will provide the funds; The Elephant’s Perch in Ketchum will provide the fantastic Specialized bikes; and the Blaine County Recre-ation District will identify the children and distribute the bikes to them. Through this wonderful partnership, chil-dren in need in Blaine County will be able to experience the excitement and joy of riding their own bike all around town and out on the Wood River Trail. Kids who receive a new bike will also receive safety tips, helmets and bike riding instruction, if needed.
For more information about the “Miles of Smiles” bike pro-gram or to refer a child, please call Kris Stoffer at 788-2117, ext. 214.
