At about 3,400 square feet, the four-bedroom home is a comfortable size for the family and their gear: moderately sized but easily accommodating congregational spaces. The kitchen is the hub with a marble waterfall island that comfortably seats six. It opens into the main dining and living space which soars even beyond its 25-foot ceilings to the mountain cathedral, Baldy, framed by a wall of windows. “I didn’t anticipate how incredible that would be. We call it the snow globe in winter. It’s a spectacular space and place to be,” says the mother. [...]

Though Terry is busier than ever, he doesn’t have much time for photography... or fishing! He’s often on his feet for up to 12 hours a day. He founded Silver Creek Outfitters, a Sun Valley institution and one of the finest flyfishing guiding services in the country. He’s been doing that for half a century and over 30 years in SC’s current location—on the east side of Main Street at 5th Street—a place to shop and talk shop. It’s a destination for the right flies for the river, the right dress for the Sun Valley Pavilion, the right gun for elk season and the right Stetson for the Cowboy ball. Terry has ensured that Silver Creek offers everything one could need for their Sun Valley Lifestyle—all year round and under one roof. But it was a slow process— “not a revolution, but an evolution,” as he said. [...]

Koth appreciated the relaxed mountain culture, noting the town’s refinement, educated environment, good restaurants, and vibrant art scene. Although he has recently discovered the talents of Ballet Sun Valley, the finer things are not what has kept physical therapist John Koth MPT, MS, ATC, in the Wood River Valley. Koth reminisces that his first ever mountain bike ride was following a sadistic friend straight up Proctor Mountain. He enjoys running and hiking with his golden retrievers, skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing. [...]

Her path to this prestigious station began with a college degree in music and a stint in secretarial school, learning how to type. According to Dr. Moats, she was attending Wellesley College as a music major and didn’t have a clear idea of a future career. So, she enrolled in secretarial school to learn typing and shorthand and soon thereafter was hired in a neuropsychology laboratory to type reports. After about eight weeks, the clinic supervisor gave her a white coat and said he would train her as a lab technician. She began giving neuropsychological tests to adults and children, and her interest in teaching students with learning disabilities was soon sparked. [...]

Houston Shaw, the owner, founder, and lead instructor of Shaw Shooting, stands ready for arrivals. On this perfectly sunny afternoon, he greets one of the nation’s top federal law enforcement teams, which will spend the week sharpening its firearms skills. [...]

Ketchum, a small, quiet mountain town, rapidly changed. Entrepreneurs set out to capture some of the wealth the resort’s clients brought to the area, where gambling was “tolerated,” although it was not strictly legal. A number of clubs and gambling establishments opened all over town that attracted Sun Valley’s wealthy guests, employees and locals. Clubs on Main Street included the Alpine, owned by Lou Hill, and the Sawtooth, owned by Owen Simpson. The Tram, the St. George Hotel and the Casino were all located south of Sun Valley Road; the Stockman’s Club, the Idaho Club, where the Pioneer Restaurant is now; and the Wooden Spur, where Sturtevants is now. Club Rio was on Leadville Ave., off Sun Valley Road. [...]

Trout, though lacking entirely in language skills, are fluent in the nature of the mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies and midges referred to above. In fact, their intimate knowledge of these insects is critical in supporting their fishy lifecycles. The language of fish food might not be familiar to you, but it most certainly is to trout as it has been long before the days of the imperialist policies of the British and their ubiquitous distribution of Salmo trutta (read: brown trout) to the most remote corners of the globe. [...]

Today, the same sort of ingenuity that launched the library nearly 70 years ago is being continued by another forward-thinking woman, Community Library of Ketchum Executive Director Jenny Emery Davidson. Along with staff, volunteers, board members and the community, she has led an effort to “re-imagine” the library’s space, offerings, and role in the community, transforming it into a hub of activity with more than 100,000 visitors annually. [...]

Sides is a born and raised Blaine County artist; dance and movement are in her DNA. While her lure to the arts is genetic, her range of talent manifested in Sun Valley. After spending her childhood playing “fairies” in the Sawtooth forests and writing songs with sticks into rocky mountain dirt, Sides owes much of her creative approach to art to her relationship with Sun Valley’s landscape. [...]

Joe had it all. He was talented musically; he was charming and handsome and had a great sense of humor. His show was such a hit that The Ram asked him back for two more weeks in March and then for the whole Summer and, ultimately, the entire Winter. Bar sales multiplied exponentially (even with 25-cent beer nights!), and by 1979, the Twin Falls Times-News dubbed him "The King of Sun Valley." [...]
