New Outfitter,Picabo Angler Offers More Options for Fishermen,
HuntersStory & PHoto
By Karen BoSSicK
A longtime fisherman in the Wood River Valley is trying to re-establish the sporting
tradition that made Silver Creek the place to hunt and fish when Ernest Hemingway, Gary Cooper and others recreated there.
John Huber staged a grand opening on Saturday for the Picabo Angler, a new outfitter using a “very old, extensive fishing license” that covers the area from Mackay to Silver Creek, the Little Wood and Big Wood rivers, the Salmon River from Torrey’s Hole to Challis, and Magic Reservoir.
The full-service fly shop offers Orvis fly rods and a huge selection of flies for local waters. Plus, there’s a restaurant, grocery store, gas station and even hotel room on site.
An English setter trainer, Huber also hopes to offer wing shooting for chukar, geese, pheasant and more this summer or next.
“This is a one-stop shop, the first and only outfitter on Silver Creek to be physically set up there,” said Huber, who bought Ketchum on the Fly’s Picabo shop. “You go through Bud and Nick Purdy’s store and you can’t help but see the pictures of Bud Purdy, Ernest Hemingway and all the old celebrities who fished and hunted there.”
Huber himself was a college kid when he came to Ketchum 22 years ago. He never left except to do some international fish guiding in Patago-nia, the Himalayas and the Carib-bean.
A former guide for Silver Creek Outfitters and Lost River Outfitters, Huber has a special fondness for the area near Picabo.
“The trophy trout are huge, they’re smart, they’re a challenge to fish,” he said. “And I’ve never seen the soft quality of light you get on Silver Creek elsewhere. I write magazine ar-ticles and books and it really inspires me.”

Hunger coalition’s Benefit dinner raises $10kPage 11
Nash Hartdegen Marches to
By Karen BoSSicK
Randall “Nash” Hartdegen just got his driver’s license last week.
But, at 16, this Hailey boy has already ridden in a Black Hawk heli-copter, rappelled down buildings, found himself under fire in simulated rescue missions and learned how to evacuate casualties during a terrorist attack.
And come August 8 the Wood River High School sophomore will head for the U.S. Army and Navy Academy, a military boarding school in Carlsbad, Calif., where he will finish high school.
“Every parent is proud of his child and his achievements, but there isn’t a prouder father anywhere on the planet than me. I can’t say enough about Nash,” said Chet Hartdegen, a Hailey builder. “He wants to be an officer and he will be an officer. And I expect to see this young man do something great—he’s going to help people.”
Hartdegen has been marching to the beat of a different drummer since seventh grade when he saw “Saving Private Ryan,” an epic war film that vividly por-trayed the Omaha Beach assault of World War II.
“There was so much blood and gore. I thought: These people need help. I’m physically fit. I’m strong for my age. I love helping people. To know someone is going to be able to go home to their families be-cause of my medical care is pretty neat,” said Hartdegen, who also counts “Black Hawk Down” among his favorite flicks.
His older brother’s diagnosis of Marburg Variant Disease in 2009 only cemented Hartdegen’s resolve as he watched Zac combat a severe form of mul-
tiple sclerosis that left him paralyzed and requiring full-time care.
At 12, Hartdegen organized a bike ride to help purchase equipment for his brother. At 13, he joined the U.S. Army Cadet Corps, spending the next two sum-mers and Christmas holidays in basic training, ranger schools and simulated war scenarios in the swamps of Kentucky near Ft. Knox.
Last summer he learned leadership training on the USS New Orleans in Seattle with the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps. And he learned field medical training at Camp Pendleton in California.
He’s learned to wear uniforms, live the military code and handle assault weapons. He’s learned to go into combat situations and pick up people who are hurt. He’s learned to do CPR and triage, figuring out which wounded to care for first. And he’s learned how to cauterize a leg with a hot weapon and apply a tourni-quet if an appendage is missing.
“These simulations can get just like the real thing. You never know when something’s going to happen. All of a sud-den, there are explosions everywhere and people getting shot up—it’s scary. But you can never have fear,” said the 6-foot, 175-pound teenager who runs, bench presses 160 pounds and works out at 5B CrossFit to stay in shape.
Only a few of the 11,000 cadets across the country make the military a career, said Nash’s mother, Kimberly Coonis, the director of the Senior Connection.
“For a young kid to jump in at 13 and go be tortured in basic training and love every minute of it takes a lot,” she said. “He’ll have 20 years in by the time he’s 38.”
“Here’s a kid who was born and raised right here in the mountains. Yet, when I went to get him after he’d spent the summer in 100 degrees and 100 percent humidity, which he isn’t used to, he said, ‘I can’t wait to do this again next sum-mer,’ ” recalled Chet Hartdegen.
Coonis acknowledges that it’s a little scary seeing her son get involved in something that could send him to war. But there’s a bigger chance of him dying on the highway between here and Twin Falls, she added.
“A lot of kids poke fun at him because of his short hair and the uniforms he wears. But when they have their 20th class reunion and he comes in wearing all these medals, they’re going to say, ‘Wow!’ said Chet Hartdegen.
For now, Nash says he’s just focused on working as hard as he can to go and do what he needs to do.
“Leaving my parents is going to be really hard. I love my parents—I owe my life to my parents. And they made the ultimate sacrifice letting me do some-thing that’s hard and scary,” he said. “But there’s no sacrifice too great in the name of freedom. This is a stepping stone to the future.”
one of nash Hartdegen’s favorites lines is from “transformers”: “there’s a thin line between being a hero and being a memory.” courteSy PHoto

MASSV, Music & Arts Showcase Sun Valley, will hold a MASSV pre-
party on Friday. It’s a fundraiser for Corey
Weatherly, a security guard who was injured during last year’s MASSV concert.
Weatherly, a 44-year-old Blaine County Sheriff’s ser-geant, sustained a broken neck when a man fell on him from a building roof during a MASSV street party last July. Weatherly had a second surgery not too long ago and is back to working a desk job, said Ryan Kolquist, who is helping to organize the fundraiser.
“He’s doing well—a lot bet-ter than several months ago,”
Kolquist added. “We wanted to help him as he continues to re-cuperate. Every penny we raise that night is going to Corey. In addition, a certain percentage of MASSV ticket sales will go to him, too.”
The fundraiser will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Friday.
There’ll be a DJ upstairs on the deck with a BBQ Happy Hour from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
There’ll be live music provided by DJ Doc Rock and Alien from 10 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
There will be a $10 cover at the door. Burgers and hot dogs will be free from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. All attendees receive two raffle tickets; they need not be present to win.

About 300 runners are expected to take part in the 8th annual Sun Valley
Half-Marathon this Saturday.Many will be competing in the
new 5-kilometer and 10-kilome-ter options, along with the kids’ Marafun.
“We’re hoping to attract run-ners who might be intimidated by the thought of running 13 ki-lometers,” said longtime runner and organizer Brad Mitchell.
This year is also the first year the Wood River YMCA has taken over the race.
“It ties the Y to the community and the sporting community as a whole,” said Mitchell.
Half-marathons are extremely popular across the country, Mitchell said.
“They’re about health and wellness. I myself started run-ning as a lifestyle change and I entered a couple local races and found out that I was competi-tive. But it’s not about winning as much as it is about training and friendships you develop as you work up to the day of the big race. Racing is fun. But it’s really about the steps it takes to build up to it.”
Bib pick -p is between 2 and 6 p.m. Friday at the Y. Wannabe racers can register the morning
of the race, which will start on the lawn outside the Sun Valley Pavilion.
The course starts at 9 a.m. on the Sun Valley Pavilion lawn, running along the City of Sun Valley and Wood River path systems. It finishes back where it started.
The Kids’ Zone will be open during and after the race and will include a Marafun for kids at 11:30 a.m.

Forty years ago legislation was passed to create a national recreation area to include the mountain ranges of the Sawtooths, the White clouds and the Boulders, which became the Sawtooth national recreation area. almost anyone who has ever traveled through the Sawtooth national rec-reation area or spent any time hiking, visiting or recreating year-round in this region most likely has an incred-ible memory and story to tell, as well as a stunning photograph to accom-pany the words.
as an homage and future per-spective on the Sawtooth national recreation area, outdoor idaho will have a free screening of “a Sawtooth celebration” at 6 p.m., this thursday, may 30, at the community library in Ketchum.
come see the beauty of the Saw-tooth national recreation area at the
free screening of “a Sawtooth cel-ebration” through the people, pho-tographers, naturalists and stewards of this magnificent region that is an idaho gem. after the screening, join idaho Public television and the Saw-tooth Society for a reception at the library.
also present for the screening will be matt leidecker, author of “explor-ing the Sawtooths—a comprehensive guide,” and photographer James Bour-ret of James Bourret Fine art Photog-raphy whose limited edition Sawtooth nra images commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Sawtooth nra.

Incubation of a bird egg begins when the clutch of eggs is com-
plete. In the tradition of the Indy 500, the mother announces, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!’ For once, song-birds have it a little easi-er. They have a soft, comfy nest, and for the lucky, a nesting box. The eggs are laid in a few days, lessening exposure to danger (air temperature, rain, predators and bacteria). A duck may take two weeks to lay all her eggs. Through some as yet unknown bio-mechanism, a mother can de-lay incubation. The development of the embryo doesn’t begin until she waves that start flag. The mother is also able to wait out the weather, until it’s neither too hot nor too cold. She has to be able to stop incubation during one of our cold snaps. Somehow she can monitor egg temperature so the eggs are kept at or near 40 degrees Centigrade (about our body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit). The young, still in their shells, will peep if it gets too cold. Overheating is a far greater danger than cooling. This mothering is delicate and unwavering.
The embryo’s development will continue at the same speed regardless of outside tempera-ture. Tending to the eggs often requires a division of labor. In birds, where the males are cryptically (brightly) colored, only the mother incubates (gold-finches). The male forages and feeds the female who acts as if she was a hatchling and opens her entire throat so the food can be dropped in. Our mourning doves, that can be heard around here, their owl-like ‘whoo-a-who’ ringing in the early morning and evening, man the nest in shifts. The male sits during the day, and the female takes over
in the evening. In some instances, the males do all the incubating. Many times, the nest has to be left untended—easier in the tropics than up here. Ducks and geese will pluck down from their bodies to cover the eggs during absences. Grebes lay in floating nests of
rotting vegetation. If the mother leaves, she covers the eggs with vegetation to reduce heat loss and visibility. Nature’s compost mounds, which, as they rot, generate heat (cook), are also used by some species that don’t sit on eggs but incubate them in a mound of organic matter, which is then opened and closed to regulate temperature. The above examples show that bird species have evolved their nest-ing techniques to match their specific environments. They play the odds.
Our female songbirds have another trick—the brood patch. They develop a bare patch on their belly that resembles a large blister, loaded with additional blood vessels. It acts like a little oven. These birds usually have cold feet to reduce calorie use, but when sitting, they are warm in order to supply additional heat.
Eggshell weaknesses vary—thick for penguins, who lay in rocks, and thin for songbirds in cushy nests. They have to be strong enough to prevent break-age, but thin enough to allow the chicks to escape the egg. The mother cannot help in breaking the eggs because the attempt could hurt the hatchlings. The bay bird scratches the inner shell repeatedly in one spot and weakens the shell enough to break it. Amazingly, they do this in concert. They greet the world together.
No sleeping in.
It Is ‘Ready, Set, Go!’

Now that temperatures are rising, let’s make your spring greener.
Open your windows and let the fresh air in. Put away sweaters using natural moth repellents like cedar blocks, sachets with lavender, thyme, peppermint, rosemary. Do not use mothballs, which contain toxic pesticides like naphthalene, a poisonous gas.
For spring cleaning, be sure to use non-toxic products or make your own; vinegar and baking soda work surprisingly well. A thorough spring cleaning always involves cleaning out the garage. Recycle old magazines and news-papers. Dispose of hazardous material properly. Old paints, dried-up Christmas trees, bro-ken appliances, electronics and old tires can be appropriately disposed of or recycled at the Ohio Gulch Transfer Station.
Go through your wardrobe
and donate items you do not wear to a local thrift shop. The Advocates’ Attic can repurpose women’s professional clothing for their program to get women into the work force. Old eye-glasses get a new life at area eye centers; leftover lumber and tile at the Building Materials Thrift Store.
As we begin to enjoy the warmer days and the snow-free trails, make an effort to pick up trash along the trails. A plastic bag in your pocket lets you clean up after Fido, too.
Take action. You don’t have to donate money to make a differ-ence. Volunteer in your com-munity; organize recycle bins at your workplace; start carpools; share your organic produce.
Post your own spring tips to ERC Sun Valley on Facebook. Questions? Call the Environmen-tal Resource Center at 208-726-4333.
It’s Spring! Be Green!
Here at 5B Recycles, the number one question we hear is: “Why can’t I just
throw everything together? They do that in Boise/L.A./Seattle.” In some larger areas, such as Boise, Los Angeles and Seattle, they use a method of recycling called single stream. This is where all curbside recyclable items can be placed in one bin for pick-up. When the items are hauled to the local recovery center, they are sorted by machine and read-ied for wholesale. We do not have single stream service in Blaine County, which means we rely on
you to sort items. Even a small amount of wrong material can cause contamination, making it non-recyclable and headed to the landfill. Contamination can also cause injury to our employees and harm equipment. Please, if you are in doubt, throw it out. It just takes a few quick minutes to sort your plastics 1-5, aluminum/tin, and mixed paper for curbside pick-up, and we’re very apprecia-tive of your efforts to do this.
Do you have a question for about recycling? E-mail us at [email protected]

Neurosurgeon Wows Sell-Out CrowdStory & PHoto By Karen BoSSicK
As a neurosurgeon, Dr. Eben Alexander thought he had all the answers
when it came to the brain and consciousness.
Then bacterial meningitis turned off the lights in his own brain, sending him into a coma for seven days. But as E. coli bacteria flooded his brain, shut-ting it down, he was awakened to a new world—a world with a beautiful girl on the wings of a butterfly, a world with an all-loving Creator, a world he says offers proof of heaven.
Alexander talked about the odyssey that led to his best-sell-ing book “Proof of Heaven” to a sell-out crowd of several hundred people Friday evening at the Sun Valley Wellness Festival.
The personable Alexander easily won over an audience that seemed eager to believe in heaven and an afterlife.
“He confirmed what my father impressed on me after his death—that everything’s okay,” said one Ketchum woman.
Alexander said he wanted to believe in God, the power of prayer and the afterlife as a youngster. But, as a neuro-surgeon, he couldn’t see how consciousness could survive the death of the body.
“But we’ve been using general anesthesia for 150 years and no one can tell you how it works,” he said.
Alexander said the day he went into a coma he awoke with severe back pain and searing head pain followed by a grand mal epileptic seizure. The mo-ment the nurse drew out white pus, she knew I was gone—she’d never had anyone like that sur-vive, he said.
Had it been anything but bac-
terial meningitis, there would have been no book, he added. But bacterial meningitis was the perfect conduit because it attacks the neocortex, which is crucial for hearing, seeing and thinking. When it was wiped out, there was no way to have a conscious awareness.
The filter of his brain gone, Alexander was ushered into a realm in which he was told, “You are deeply cherished and loved. You have nothing to fear. You will be taken care of forever.”
“The most important lesson I learned was the love of the Creator for all, not just us, but things like the earth as well,” Alexander said.
Alexander said his younger son overheard doctors discuss discontinuing antibiotics, so sure were they that he had no chance of recovery.
His son ran into his room, pulled his eyelashes up and said, “Dad, you’re going to be okay!”
“I didn’t see him, but that was my awakening, that I did have attachments. In the end, it was my decision—I had to go back,” Alexander said.
Alexander said he realized that millions have been on the journey he’d taken once he began reading about near-death experiences. “There were more similarities than differences,” he said.
Asked about suicide, Alexan-der replied that everyone must go through a complex assessment of their life. Those who commit suicide will have to reckon with the pain they caused others. But the pain will be couched in the tremendous love the Creator has for them.
“Prayers are extremely power-ful,” he added. “I can guarantee you: Prayers get in.”
Humans have put them-
selves upon a pedestal, profess-ing themselves to be superior because they have language, he said.
“But this little voice in our head gets in the way of being conscious,” he said. “Animals—earthworms, plants, photons — are very conscious.”
“The thing we know exists is soul. Everything we think about time and space of this realm isn’t what it appears to be,” he added.
Alexander told the audience that they should look for what is, not what they think should be.
“When my book went to No. 1 on The New York Times best-seller list in the first week, that told me this world is very well along the pathway to waking up. At the end of the day, each of us has the truth inside.”

dr. eben alexander encouraged the notion of afterbirthing, helping chil-dren foster memories after they’re born so they know they have soul-mates they will recognize as they go through life.

Story & PHoto By Karen BoSSicK
We rallied around the levy to rebuild the bike path. But chances are that
few, if any, Sun Valley residents would willingly pay for a Muslim handbook teaching boys how to kill homosexuals.
“The instructions say you can stone them—but don’t use too big a stone because they wouldn’t feel sufficient pain,” former CIA Director R. James Woolsey told a capacity audience at the Sun Valley Wellness Festival Satur-day evening. “Or you can burn them.”
Who is paying for all this? he asked.
“Turn the rearview mir-ror a few inches and look into your own eyes. Now you know,” he said, pointing his finger at anyone who buys gasoline from OPEC.
It costs $2 for the Saudis to lift a barrel of oil that has been sold to the United States for as much as $200 a barrel, Woolsey said. Half of the wealth of the world will be in the hands of OPEC again when oil climbs to $200 a barrel again.
One of the solutions is to follow Brazil’s model in offer-ing motorists a choice between ethanol gas, produced by their sugar cane, and gas.
The cost to retrofit a car so it can use methanol or another al-ternative fuel is about $90—half that of a seat belt.
“Let people have a choice!” Woolsey said.
By 2050, 74 percent of America’s energy could come from renewable sources, said
Amory Lovins, a physicist and chairman of the Rocky Moun-tain Institute and author of the books “Reinventing Fire” and “Winning the Oil Endgame.” Today, 90 percent of America’s energy comes from nonrenewable sources, he added.
One of the problems: “An epidemic of obesity in our cars, which gained weight twice as fast as us,” he said.
Stronger, more lightweight materials and smaller engines can reverse that, said Lovins, whose concept Hypercar features ultralight construction, an aero-dynamic body and a low-drag design.
We can also cut energy consumption by taking such measures as flattening the peaks of rush hour driving, telecom-muting and a more efficient infrastructure, he added.
America built its infrastruc-ture without a single thought given to security, Woolsey said.
“They did a dumb thing when they put the central system for the electrical grid in the West—Hey, what can go wrong?” he said.
One of the stars saving an in-adequate infrastructure will be solar power, he added, because even if the grid goes down, you will still have some power.
“The difference between having 20 percent to 30 percent of your energy needs met is the difference between having civilization and no civilization,” he added. “As they found out with Hurricane Sandy, when electricity goes, you’re in very bad shape.”
Energy Talk: Turn the Mirror a Little
amory lovins and r. James Woolsey presented a two-hour look at america’s energy present and energy future Saturday night in the Sun Valley inn.

Wellness Festival a Smashing Success
Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK
The fire burned brightly as three dozen people gath-ered in the woods near Sun
Valley Thursday afternoon to commemorate the opening of the 16th annual Sun Valley Wellness Festival.
Ann Christensen and Amy Nelson smudged negativity away from each of those who showed up using white sage smudge sticks.
The two and others acknowl-edged the four directions: “To the winds of the Earth Mother, come be with us now,” Nelson said as everyone faced one direc-tion. “Hold me sweetly, Mother. Guide my footsteps.”
Then Traci Ireland took over in the Peruvian-based ceremony to bring healing and transforma-tion.
“Bring hands into the through the flames taking the lessons
into the belly, the heart and the forehead,” she said.
The Wellness Festival that followed was a smashing success attracting hundreds of enthu-siastic attendees, including one as far away as Denmark, said Festival Board Member Carol Waller.
Many of the sessions were filled, including Friday’s keynote presentation by Dr. Eben Alex-ander, which attracted a sold-out audience of more than 800 people plus a robust waiting list. Saturday’s talk featuring two energy experts also sold out.
The Festival sold 20 percent more tickets than last year with 55 percent of the sales going to visitors from outside the Wood River Valley, said Event Coor-dinator Ellen Gillespie. It has nearly doubled in size since 2010.
The Festival featured 49
speakers and movement practi-tioners—17 of whom were locals. It featured 55 vendors in the
Wellness Expo.Editor’s note: Look for more
from the Sun Valley Wellness
Festival in next week’s Weekly Sun.

Mihalic’s Many Talents Include PianoBy JonatHan Kane
Max Mihalic, Wood River High School junior, car-ries a 3.7 grade point av-
erage and is a member of Nation-al Honor Society. He is a man of many talents, one of which is that he is also an accomplished pianist. “I’ve been playing the piano since I was four years old,” he said. “My parents wanted me to play an instrument and I guess I chose the piano. I started taking lessons and just kept on going.” Today, Mihalic is a part of the Wood River Jazz Band and the Dixieland Band and has been so since his freshman year. “We do about three concerts a year and we just had one last night. We also get a chance to go to Dis-neyland and compete each year.” As to playing, Mihalic said, “It’s a tremendous outlet of expres-sion to be able to sit down at any piano and get a chance to vent your feelings. It totally shows up in how you’re playing.” His taste in music has a wide range. “I think jazz is my favorite but I also love rock and roll like AC/DC and Green Day. But I also really like the Glenn Miller
Orchestra and I like to listen to a lot of jazz piano that I find on YouTube. Playing the piano is something that I will do and cherish the rest of my life.”
Mihalic is a Texas native but had spent a lot of time in Sun Valley before eventually moving here with his family when he was in the eighth grade. “I’m a big Cowboys fan, which you have to be if you’re from Texas. I live in Elkhorn and make the com-mute every day to Wood River, which is not that bad except in the winter. It’s also a pretty different climate here because everywhere you go in Texas it’s pretty hot and humid. We lived in Plano, which was a great place, and we lived in a nice neighborhood where we would ride our bikes to school through town. People there are very nice once you get to know them. It’s so different here when you live here full time. In eighth grade I played football and it was a great time to bond with people. Today, I love the valley. It’s so beautiful and I feel blessed to live here. The school is really good and I’m so proud to be a Wolverine.” Mihalic has taken Advanced
Placement physics, statistics, environmental science, U.S. his-tory, and language and composi-tion. He is also vice president of The Key Club, a member of the student union and he is running for senior vice president. In his spare time he stays pretty busy. “People say there’s not a lot to do here but it doesn’t bother me. I think you have everything you need right here. I’m a homework person and I go to sleep early. In the morning I go to Jazz Band before school starts and that’s a full day.” With days like that, Mihalic is sure to reach his full potential.

the Wood river High School tennis team had a strong 4a State presence, taking first place for girls’ doubles, fourth place for boys’ doubles, fourth place for the girls title, and third place overall for the combined boys and girls scores.
it was a transition year, with many new varsity players, a new head coach (carlos meza from Woodside elemen-
tary) and a new assistant coach (Scott chaffin, Wood river middle School). Win or lose, the players gave it their all—the seniors all made it to the sec-ond day of play and the younger play-ers lost in tight three-set matches, of-ten to teams that made it to the top 4.

It’s summer and that means it’s time for the studios role out their big-budget spectaculars.
Many leave you disappointed, but that’s not the case with the latest entry in the Star Trek saga that, aside from some quibbles, hits the mark. After the lame Iron-Man 3 the satisfaction delivered by this film is even more appreci-ated. After a run on TV that was moderately successful in the ‘60s, the series then blossomed into a trueborn phenomenon and a cult sensation that spawned 11 feature films.
Besides great writing, the series also introduced us to the iconic Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, played by Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto in the new film. All the dynamics of the complex relation-ship are here, with the classic back and forth that defines the series. Also present is the excellent direction of J.J. Abrams who re-booted the franchise in 2009 with an excellent adventure that smartly
took us back to the beginning of the saga when the crew was young and impulsive. Also present and expertly cast are Bones, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov and a surprising ro-mance between Uhura and Spock (which even raises a tear from the unflappable Spock). Also present is Peter Weller who has sadly been missed from the big screen for over a decade.
I don’t want to give away too much of the plot but it involves
a rogue officer in the Starfleet, terrorism in a wonderfully recre-ated London and San Francisco, and a great opening sequence that brings you right back to the original series and, of course, the Klingons. Despite some clunky dialogue and a few too many plot twists, Star Trek Into Darkness delivers the goods.

A STORY ABOUT A BANd OF AMERICANSCitizens of London: The
Americans Who Stood With Britain in Its Darkest, Finest Hour by Lynne Olson, copyright 2010, hardback, 394 pages plus acknowledgments, notes and bibli-ography
By margot Van Horn
Thinking about Memorial Day, I wanted to review this wonderful book that
reads like a novel. About this book Tom Brokaw wrote: “Citizens of London is a great read about the small band of Americans and their courageous role in helping Britain through the darkest days of early World War II. I thought I knew a lot about this dangerous period, but Lynne Olson has taught me so much more.”
Yes, indeed, Olson did teach me more as well. She gives the reader a thorough understanding of what went on between Churchill and Roosevelt and how it affected their decisions. This book brought forth how so unprepared our military was in the beginning of our war entry and how quickly an un-seasoned Eisenhower grew as a wise and first commander of the American forces in Britain. It em-phasized how so brave the English
women were and described their leader, Lady Reading, and her formation of the Women’s Volun-tary Service. It drove home what a miserable and scary time it was for the English and, in particular, for those in London. When the French were liberated, Paris was still glit-tering and beautiful. Poor London was almost totally destroyed. I wasn’t aware of how daring a man Edward Murrow was. Olson wrote: “He repeatedly gambled his life in the air.” Murrow explained the reasoning was because he loved speed, but that, however, it was also an escape for him from his personal and professional pres-sures. As well, these dangerous air trips gave him the tool to trans-mit to us here in America reality in his broadcasts and reports. Lastly, I never realized what a big and important role John Gilbert Winant (much beloved by the English) played during this period. Lastly, gleaning more information about both Averell and Pamela Harriman was the icing on the cake, since we here in Sun Valley are so connected to them. The romantic interlude descriptions Olson included gave this story just the faintest gossipy touch that it needed for a bit of lightness.
Lynne Olson has a new book
out that I definitely plan to read: “Those Angry Days: Roosevelt, Lindbergh, and America’s Fight Over World War II, 1939-1941”—having to do with the Isolationists vs. the Interventionists. You might want to check that one out as well.

Wood River Land Trust’s Heart of the Valley Contest
Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK
Jena Page Greaser only recently learned to play the guitar. But she got her first gig Sat-urday night as she played a song she wrote at
the new Velocio coffee house on Sun Valley Road in Ketchum.
The song, “Stop and Stay Awhile: Finding My Soul in the Western Mountains,” won honorable mention in the Wood River Land Trust’s Ninth Annual Heart of the Valley contest, which solicits photographs and prose that celebrate life in the Wood River Valley.
Dozens of award winners and supporters helped themselves to pizza and brownie bites as Velocio rolled up its garage-size door to bring the outside in.
“It’s a beautiful place, a wide open space that allows you to look out on the mountains. And that’s why we’re here,” said Daphne Muehl, the Land Trust’s director of development, as she looked out on Baldy.
“Recently, I had friends visit from Florida and it was amazing what they found special about our area—like sagebrush…” added Jill Brown, the Trust’s development associate. “They found special things we see every day and don’t think so special anymore. And that’s why we have this contest—to remind us what we have here.”
First-place winners for photography were Laura Speck, Hannah Conn and Nick Price. Those win-ning first for prose were Leslie Thompson and Remy Ives.
The Wood River Land Trust has preserved 15,000 acres through a variety of means. It is currently working with the City of Ketchum and Bureau of Land Management on restoring the Hulen Meadows Pond.
Jena Page greaser played her song for the audience: ”oh, the plants, the trees make me feel alive, they make me feel free…”
mankato thompson of carey cheered on his mother, leslie thompson, as she read her first-place prose titled “Sage-brush.”
“It’s a beautiful place…and that’s why we’re here.”

Hemingway elementary School students learned that a female bear is a sow and the male, a boar.
Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK
Forget the standard 2,000-or-so-calorie diet the aver-age man or woman wolfs
down every day.We would eat between 20,000
and 30,000 calories a day if we were a bear stocking up for the winter!
School kids throughout the valley learned about extreme eating habits of bears last week as the Environmental Resource Center brought Steve Primm and Kate Hallowell of the Mon-tana-based People and Carni-vores to the schools.
“The bears go through their hyperphagia, or whopper ap-petite, stage beginning in late July, explained Hallowell. They can put away the equivalent of 30 Whoppers from Burger King, 40 banana splits from Dairy Queen, 55 chocolate shakes from McDonald’s or 95 soft tacos from Taco Bell in a single day.
“You guys think you could eat that much in one day?” asked Primm.
Primm added that 55 percent of a bear’s diet actually consists of plants, while meat makes up only 5 percent; berries, 5 per-cent; bees, 5 percent; and nuts and seeds from white bark pine and other sources, the rest.
The average 300-pound bear loses about 90 pounds while in hibernation. But they don’t start carbo-loading right away, said Primm.
“They’re sluggish when come out so they don’t eat so much then because they’re not quite with it,” he said.
There are eight species of bears in the world, including the sloth bear, sun bear, Asiatic black bear, giant panda and spectacled bear, none of which can be seen locally.
Six are endangered.The black bear, which calls the
83340 ZIP code its home, was named that by Europeans, who first spotted totally black bears when they landed on American shores. As they moved west, they found bears of different colors, but the name stuck.
Grizzly bears can be black or blond, as well, but brown is their traditional color. The hair on a black bear is the same color from tip to tip. Not so with the grizzly.
Oh, and did you know how adaptable bears are to their environment? Black bears in Florida hibernate only for about a month. The bears at the Griz-zly Center in West Yellowstone don’t hibernate at all.
The ERC brings in experts to talk to school kids about a variety of topics, from wildfire to the Craters of the Moon.
“It gives kids a chance to view all the different jobs out there, like environmental science. And it supplements their curriculum since they’re learning about things like habitat,” said Mark Beaver, who organizes the talks.
THE BEAR FACTS
Kate Hallowell shows the kids what they’d have to eat if they were a bear getting ready for hibernation.

James Beard Chefs Stage a dinner to RememberStory & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK
I once scoured the province of New Brunswick looking for a fiddlehead fern after learning
I was in the “Fiddlehead Capital of the World.”
I returned home fiddleheadless since they were out of season.
Who would ever have guessed I would find those cute furled fronds of baby ferns staring at me from a plate in Sun Valley 25 years later!
I could never have guessed the amazing culinary adventure that lay in store for myself and 50 others Tuesday night at a benefit for The Hunger Coalition at Trail Creek Cabin. It was eas-ily the best meal I’ve ever eaten in my life—and I can’t complain about the food I’ve had since moving to Sun Valley!
Tom and Jane Oliver were pleased as punch as we boarded a horse-drawn wagon for the ride from the Sun Valley Inn.
“Our introduction to Sun Valley a hundred years ago was riding the sleigh to Trail Creek Cabin on one of those crystal-clear, cold, cold nights,” said Tom Oliver, former CEO of InterCon-tinental Hotels Group. “My wife is involved with The Hunger Coalition—we’ve always been very impressed by the work they do, so we wanted to come out and support them tonight.”
At the cabin, mixologist Ben Hart handed us a Trail Creek Cocktail containing 44 North Huckleberry Vodka, Yazi Ginger Vodka, Square One Botanical Vodka, raspberry puree, sage, rosemary and infused edible-flower ice.
The kitchen was abuzz with an army of workers chopping and stirring as show time neared.
Bruce Fery, CEO of Grand America Hotels and Resorts, chatted with Sun Valley’s head chef John Murcko, the 2012 James Beard Award finalist.
Gary Kucy, a 2013 James Beard Award finalist from Rupert’s in McCall, stirred a sweet pea emulsion and talked about how he’d traded posts at such places as the five-star Ari-zona Biltmore Resort in Phoenix in order to live “a quality life” in Idaho’s mountains away from the big city.
“I was blown away when I was nominated because Idaho’s still not on the culinary map because of its isolation,” he said. “I hope tonight lets people experience that we can eat the good stuff here.”
The Hunger Coalition’s Direc-tor Jeanne Liston told diners that The Hunger Coalition was honored to be the beneficiary of the $10,000 that the $200-a-plate dinner raised. “I think it’s fabulous that we can sit down to a beautiful dinner tonight and enjoy fine wine and know we’re
helping those who can’t feed their own families,” she said.
With that, a carefully execut-ed orchestration began as wait staff paraded in the first course to the first table. On command, they dipped one plate in front of one of those seated in front of them and then a second in front of the other, making sure every-one at the same table was served at the same time.
“It’s so fun to taste something that’s so delicious,” said Kaye Kearns as she slowly savored Kucy’s stuffed spring morel with the sweet pea emulsion.
Murcko came out to explain his first course—a platter boast-ing artfully prepared smoked lamb salad, lamb loin tartar, and lamb brandade-lamb jus that prompted many of the din-ers to snap pictures with their cell phones.
“Our lamb has eaten grass and nothing else—they don’t know what corn is,” said a repre-sentative of Purple Sage Farms.
The next course—a sunchoke chowder featuring morels and green garlic—was Murcko’s, as well.
Kucy then served up grilled Idaho asparagus, which burst with flavor thanks to a wild mushroom vinaigrette accented by truffle cheddar from Ballard Farms.
In between courses, vintners told us of their passion for grow-ing grapes as they served wines like the white Viognier, which had recently won Telaya Vine-yards a gold medal at Sunset Magazine’s International Wine Competition.
“I’ve been a real snob about Idaho wines. I’m becoming convinced, though, that there are some very good wines,” noted Gerry Kearns, as his wife and others at his table went gaga for Huston Vineyards’ Chicken Dinner White—a sprightly easy drinking wine that comes from a vineyard located on Chicken Dinner Road near Caldwell.
Next up: flaky sturgeon Osso Bucco, served with bacon, Brus-sels sprouts leaves and those aforementioned fiddleheads. The fiddleheads looked like a tightly spiraled scroll on the end of a fiddle, their grassy flavor a cross between asparagus and spinach.
Apparently, the chefs felt we needed a break from all that eating and so surprised us with an intermezzo course, a refresh-ing sorbet-like concoction made of nasturtium gremolata topped with spiced rum foam that cleared our palates.
Then it was back to the hard work of sampling a most unusual Oxtail Shepherd Pie coupled with goat chop, smoked ramps and potatoes.
“I’ve never eaten goat before,” said Grove. “My, they’re doing this first-class, aren’t they?”
“Do you know we have one more thing to eat before des-sert?” offered Kaye Kearns.
That last course was a short-rib braised in beer from Salmon River Brewery, accented with Wildflower Honey sitting in a root vegetable gratinee with wild watercress.
“Karen, you’re backed up on the tarmac,” Jack Groves noted, pointing to three glasses of red wine, which I had failed to empty.
“I know, I know, I’m wast-ing some good Resveratrol,” I groaned. ”But dinner is starting to be a little too much fun for this working gal. And, while the draft horses will take me back to my car, I doubt they’ll take me all the way home.”
Just as I began to castigate myself for my wastefulness, I was saved. Sun Valley’s pastry chef Chris McCarthy set down a flourless chocolate cake crowned with a meringue of eggs and 5B honey toffee, a ring of chocolate and a nougat glacier set off by five Bing cherries stewed in a simple syrup.
“Oh,” I sighed happily as my first bite melted in my mouth. “If
I ever find myself on Death Row, I know what I want for my last supper.”
“Wow! Beyond my expecta-tions,” said Peggy Grove, as she leaned back in her chair, a Cheshire Cat grin painted across her face. “The foods were prepared so beautifully and the wines poured so well. It was like a lesson in Idaho history—Idaho food history.”
“What a night! Unbelievable!” chimed in her husband Jack. “And to think all the money is going to The Hunger Coalition—that’s amazing.”
Dinner DesignerThe dinner was conceived by
Claudia Sanchez Mahedy, the enthusiastic, always-smiling editor and publisher of the new “Edible Idaho South” magazine.
She and her family recently relocated here from New York where she was a food writer involved with Shopping Matters and Cooking Matters—pro-grams educating low-income moms about how to cook and eat healthy on a budget.
When she learned that The Hunger Coalition has a similar program, she enlisted the help of Idaho’s two James Beard finalists—Sun Valley Resort’s John Murcko and Gary Kucy of Rupert’s Hotel in McCall—to create a spectacular dinner us-ing Idaho foods to benefit The Hunger Coalition.
Sun Valley Resort not only volunteered the historic Trail Creek Cabin where the likes of Ernest Hemingway used to party, but its top managers do-nated their time to serve as the wait staff. Farmers from Purple Sage Farms, Homestead Natural Foods and Southwind Potatoes not only donated beef short ribs and other foodstuffs, but they went beyond the call of duty in other ways.
When morels failed to pop up in the woods in time for the dinner, for instance, Sweet
Valley Organics’ farmer went to Montana to pick them.
The donations made it possible for 100 percent of the ticket sales—or $10,000—to go to The Hunger Coalition.
And what did Mahedy learn about Idaho food and wine?
“I learned that there’s a wealth of fresh produce available at our fingertips. And the wines were an unbelievable surprise for people, with the young winer-ies holding their own against more established wineries in the Northwest,” she said.
“The chefs not only prepared beautiful food but food using local ingredients. Tiny takes—so different, so unique. The lamb was extraordinary and I loved the short ribs braised in ale. And the dessert—it was light, full of flavor, a balance of salty and sweet.”
chris mccarthy’s dessert won raves from nearly everyone who tried it.Peggy and Jack grove show off the intermezzo.

Gloria Gunter - Aspire Physical TherapyBy KriSty HeitZman
If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Gloria Gunter, let me fill you in; she
is one of the easiest people to sit down and chat with. Gloria is open-minded and passionate about life, family, community. Her eyes light up when she starts talking about children. She enjoys people of all walks of life, but she has extensive experience with kids, going back over a span of 30 years. Gloria started as a physical education specialist working with children from kindergarten through sixth grade. She coached high school students in tennis. She worked with preschoolers and toddlers to help them strengthen and develop their motor skills. She explained to me that, working in pediatrics, it is usually a pre-mature or delayed development that is the obstacle for the child, whereas working with older children and adults, their need for therapy is due to an injury or
overuse of a particular joint or muscle or body part.
When asked about the favor-ite aspect of her job, Gloria’s response was “to watch people succeed and reach their goals.”
Gloria Gunter is passion-ate about helping people. She focuses on the whole body while working with the individual’s goals because they are living with the aspects that are going on within their body. It is impor-tant to work together to come up with solutions to help the person make changes to cure the prob-lem, not just alleviate the pain temporarily.
Gloria is a very active person herself. In her down time she helps out at The Liberty The-atre, or running with the BCRD running group. She has a back-ground in powerlifting, tennis and dance. She enjoys helping people with weight challenges, to help them learn how to enjoy activity while allowing them to have the skills to be active and not the pressures to compete.
Unfortunately, insurance doesn’t cover weight challenges unless there is pain involved!
Gloria Gunter recently opened her physical therapy office in Hailey located at 113 E. Bullion St., Ste. C.

I chose this recipe because I have fresh arugula com-ing up in my garden and
Valley Market has some very nice avocados right now. Come spring, arugula is one of the first salad greens I can eat from my backyard plot and I always look forward to it. Fresh, homegrown
greens are just infinitely better for you and also tastier. I have been a gardener for all my adult life and I like to eat, so I guess I would have to say that my cook-ing is often motivated by what I can grow and what I think will be the best reward at the plate for all my efforts in the garden.
This is my 10th spring in the Wood River Valley. Living in Bellevue, I really like how close I am to the mountains and how much longer my growing season is than if I lived even 10 miles north!
If your recipe is selected, you get a
$20 gIfT CARD to Albertsons.
Arugula Salad by Kathryn Goldman
This is simple and tasty in spring when arugula comes up in the garden. Serves 2
Halve the grapefruit and cut all the sections into thirds. Score each avocado 2-3 three times and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into sections roughly the same size as the grapefruit pieces. Mix with as much arugula as you like. Use more arugula for a spicier salad and less for a sweeter salad.
Dress with a simple white wine vinegar and olive oil mixture, thoroughly blended.
Thank you, Kathryn, for your recipe. Enjoy everyone!

twsMany of you may already
know this, but pomme de terre in French
literally means apple of the earth—and so what would that be? — a potato, of course. I just have always thought that’s such a cute name. This is a very deli-cious dish and so easy to fix. I’m sure it’s not light in calories or cholesterol, but every now and then a splurge is OK.
Pomme de Terre a la Provence
One medium-sized potato will fill two 4-inch
ramekins and will serve 2.
Ingredients:1 medium-sized baking potato
(Idaho, of course), peeled and sliced relatively thin.
crème fraîche (1/2 C. total will do). I made my own by using 1/4 C. heavy whipping cream mixed with 1/4 C. sour cream that had sat for about one hour and so be-came thick. It can sit for as long as 24-36 hours at room tempera-ture and then be refrigerated. If you have crème fraiche, all the better.
Salt and pepper to taste.Chopped Italian parsley for
topping.
Directions:Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Pam oil or butter spray the
ramekins.Place some of the potato slices
on the bottom layer. It’ll prob-ably be around 3 slices.
Spoon the crème fraîche over this layer, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and continue doing this for however many lay-ers will fit in the ramekin. You might need to make some more crème fraîche.
Bake uncovered in a 350-de-gree oven for approximately 1 hour.
Top with chopped parsley.
If you wish to add a cheese to this dish to accompany a meat or fish dish, that would be very easy to accomplish. Just mix in some grated cheese with your crème fraîche, or 5-10 minutes before removing your ramekins from the oven, sprinkle the tops with some grated cheese and let melt in the oven. Then top with the parsley.
You can also make this dish with other types of potatoes or, instead of using ramekins, bake it all in a larger ramekin-like dish. For one large dish, you might have to adjust your cooking time to a bit more than 1 hour.

a recipe…from my table to yours to your health
By dr. maria maricicH
Autoimmune disease has taken control of many people’s lives, robbing
them of their precious vitality and well-being. The National In-stitutes of Health estimates that 23.5 million Americans suffer from some type of autoimmune disease, and it’s on the rise.
An autoimmune disease is caused when the immune system triggers an attack on tissues and cells of its own body. It is not al-ways easy to diagnose and there is no cure.
So why is this awful condi-tion on the rise? Could it be the food we eat and the environment we live in? It turns out that the answer to theses questions is an emphatic yes.
Dr. Aristo Vojdani, Ph.D., M.T., a leading researcher in glu-ten sensitivity, mapped out how certain foods, environmental toxins, stress, foreign invaders, prescription medications, alco-hol, toxins and even strenuous exercise can lead to many differ-ent autoimmune diseases.
Dr. Vojdani discovered that each of the above factors can trigger an immune response in the gut. This trigger cre-ates a whole cascade of events that result in the body creating antibodies to its own tissues and organs. An antibody is a signal for the immune system to attack.
Let’s say you are exposed to one of the triggers. That will trigger an immune reaction in the intestinal lining, where much of the immune system re-sides. Such a reaction can dam-age the gut lining, especially if there are repeat insults.
Once the lining of the intes-tine is damaged, it no longer acts as the filter it was meant to be, allowing only digested foods into the bloodstream. Now it allows undigested foods and bacteria from the intestines into the blood. When these particles have crossed through the damaged gut lining, the immune system recognizes them as invaders, not food, and initiates an attack.
Now you have started an inflammatory wildfire in the whole body. The immune system is not overreacting, as commonly thought; it is just trying to kill
all the invaders.Because the gut lining is dam-
aged, the onslaught continues. When there is inflammation in the body, you don’t feel so good.
The immune system develops antibodies to the invading food particles and now you have mul-tiple food sensitivities. Eventu-ally, in an effort to eradicate the invading particles, the immune system also develops antibodies to its own body parts.
There is lots of controversy in the medical field about food sensitivities. They are not true allergies because they have a lesser and delayed reaction. They are not immediately life threatening like say a peanut allergy.
Putting out the inflammatory fire involves calming down the immune system. There are medi-cations that do that, but they have long-term side effects and don’t address the cause. What makes more sense is to eliminate the triggers.
One must discover what food sensitivities they have and stop eating those foods for a while so the gut can heal. We must also work to eliminate toxins from the body, the environment and the diet. And be sure that we have a healthy gut flora.

Like a HurricaneThe other day I went to look
at a car that a gentleman had forsale. He was a friendly fellow,but a little bitter since hisdivorce.
I told him that I needed a newcar for a very strange reason."During the last hurricane," Iexplained, "a tornado toucheddown in my driveway and leftwith my car. Fortunately,everything else wasunharmed."
"That's amazing," the gentle-man replied, "I can sympathizebecause I had a similar thinghappen."
"Did you really?" I asked."Sure," he said cynically,
"When my ex-wife stormed off,she took the house!"

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,Ever since my neighbor wentthrough his messy divorce, he'sbeen doing things differently. Atfirst he just put the house up forsale, but he hasn't been able tofind a buyer in this rough realestate market. Now he's doingsomething unique to try andrecoup his investment. I havenever heard of this before. He isselling the house piece bypiece. He placed an ad and soldall his appliances in the kitchen.Then he found someone to buythe cabinets and counters. Nexthe sold the hardwood flooring,the new carpets and the bath-room vanities. Now he's sellingthe trees and bushes in theyard. I doubt the neighbors willbe happy about that. This ideaseems utterly ridiculous, but I'mwondering if he knows some-thing I don't. I know some carsare more valuable as parts, butis it actually possible to sellyour house in pieces and makeas much as selling it whole?
• • •Carry: We know some people
are having difficulty selling theirhomes right now, but disassem-bling it piece by piece is anextreme solution.
Cash: It's tough to know thereasons behind you neighbor's
decision. Maybe he has somegrand idea of renovating or maybehe's dealing with his messydivorce in his own way. However,if he's trying to sell the house inpieces as a way to recoup the fullvalue of the home, he's probablyout of luck.
Carry: Generally speaking,houses are more valuable as awhole and in good move-in condi-tion. Although some people likethe idea of a handyman special at agreat price, statistically most peoplewant a house that doesn't needrepair.
Cash: When you break downthe cost of a home, the largestexpense is typically the labor thatgoes into building it, not the mate-rials. Therefore, reselling the
parts is unlikely going to recoupthe value of the home, even if hesells the landscaping.
Carry: The exception would beif the value of the land far exceedsthe cost of the house. For instance,if the property was perfect for ashopping center, it would be veryvaluable, and therefore the condi-tion of the home would be insignifi-cant since it's likely to be torndown.
Cash: Although this is probablynot the case in your neighborhood,we suspect there is more to yourneighbor's decision than meets theeye. You'll just have to wait and seehow this story, and the house,unravels. In the meantime, maybeyou should do some landscapingwhile he's selling his yard.

On the JobIn the housing market, rarely are
the parts worth more than thewhole. However, the parts aremuch easier for people to steal.Theft from construction sites canadd nearly 1.5% or $5,000 to thecost of building a typical home.Today's thieves take anything fromlumber and ladders to recentlyinstalled appliances and copperwiring. According to theConstruction Industry CrimePrevention Program (CICPP), theloss of tools, material and equip-ment due to theft is around $26million a year.Parting Ways
While selling pieces may not belucrative in the real estate market,it is a profitable business in theauto industry. In fact, most carsare more valuable as parts than asa whole. That makes vehicles aprime target for thieves. Each yearmore than 75,000 air bags arestolen from motor vehicles at acost of over 50 million dollars toconsumers and insurance compa-nies. Other parts such as catalyticconverters, stereos, GPS systems,tires and so on cause 1 out of every190 vehicles to be stolen.
