Betty Brooks is proud to be third generation in a family that at one time owned the Liberty Theatre, The Brooks Hotel (next to where Jhonny’s is today), an auto repair garage, the Liberty Rock Shop and Marinello’s Beauty Salon and cosmetology school. Betty’s grandmother, Winnie Brooks, was the matriarch and founded the beauty salon long before women opened businesses. Today Betty lives in the house that Winnie Brooks moved from Gannett in 1945 and set on a foundation. This home served as a location for their businesses and is where the fourth generation of Brooks was partly raised. The house could tell a lot of stories. After graduating from Hailey High School, Betty went to beautician’s school and joined her father, Bill Brooks (working as a barber), her grandmother and, later, her sister at Marinello’s. Betty married a fellow from out of town (Bellevue) and they had two children, Laura who lives in Seattle and John who lives in Boise. Betty and her husband divorced, and Betty started exploring beyond the salon. Betty chose the academic track, receiving her Associate of Arts degree in her 40’s from College of Southern Idaho. Then, with a scholarship to Idaho State University, she earned a master’s degree in psychology. Realizing she needed a license to practice as a counselor, she went to Northwest Nazarene College and received a degree in counseling and then her license. She worked for HeadStart as a family advocate, then for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, retiring at age 68. At the same time, she started her private counseling practice, working primarily with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and anger for over thirty years. While raising two outstanding athletes, going to school then working essentially two jobs, Betty also enjoyed dancing and joined the High Country Swingers who held dances locally. That is where she met her current husband of over thirty years, Ron Foster. He was from Twin Falls but working as a plumber in the Wood River Valley. Betty served the Catholic church in a variety of capacities. She supported her children in their athletic endeavors. Her daughter talked Betty into running in local races. Betty and family cross country skied. Betty Brooks has been and still is active. Retired, with her kids off on their own, Betty has not slowed down. She is still dancing in the Senior Connection’s line dancing class. She also takes exercise classes there. When not at exercise class, she is on her bike, on the bike path or, in the winter, nordic skiing at Quigley. Watercolor class, computer and phone technology class… clearly Betty loves to learn. When asked to describe herself, Betty says she appreciates family. She is glad to have two of her five siblings here, in the Valley (one has passed on and the other lives nearby). Betty is proud of her family heritage. She is also very glad to live here, that appreciation even growing as she has gotten older. This was a great place to raise her children, she says. “We have good weather (no tornadoes or hurricanes), and we have easy access to the outdoors”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/d0ff9993-c721-40d3-abd5-00115e451159/HeritageCourt2024-22.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2024 - Lady Jerry Ann Heaney As she frequently says, Jerry Ann Heaney considers herself blest. She is definitely a “glass half full” positive lady. Jerry Ann Fehrenbacher grew up in several northwest towns as her father was transferred with the Union Pacific railroad. However, she spent most of her youth in Pocatello. During high school she visited Sun Valley Resort several times with the ski club. After some college, she came to Sun Valley for an idyllic summer in 1962 and never left. She lived in the women’s dorms developing lifelong friendships. Making little money but with expenses covered, Sun Valley was “a wonderful place”. She worked in the Inn Continental Cafeteria and soda fountain, the Sun Valley Drug Store and Lodge Newsstand. After the sale of the resort to the Janss Corporation, she waitressed in the newly opened Boiler Room, the Ram and then at Trail Creek Cabin. Her memories are vivid. Jerry Ann met John Heaney, while he too was working for Sun Valley. They married in 1966, moved to a cabin on Trail Creek in Ketchum and had two sons; Spyder who lives in San Francisco and Adam who lives in Newport Beach. After seven years at Sun Valley, Jerry Ann decided to try something new and went to work at the Christiania restaurant in Ketchum where she worked for the next 26 years. Meanwhile John traveled representing K2 and then Solomon ski equipment. The boys were growing, and John wanted to be home, so he and Jerry Ann opened and operated a ski repair and consignment shop for six years. As Jerry Ann says, most people needed a couple jobs to make ends meet. John was also a painting contractor for 38 years and she worked at the Christiania. Jerry Ann and John like to play. At one point they decided “Ketchum needs a new toy”. In 1979 they introduced wind surfing to the Valley after buying a Boston Whaler, a one design windsurfer plus learning boards. With one page of instructions on how to rig and sale the windsurfer, they headed to Mexico in the spring of 1979 and taught themselves. Jerry Ann describes fun filled wind surfing regattas at Magic Reservoir and at other water bodies in east, west and central Idaho. The Heaney’s took up long distance bicycling. They cycled from Ketchum to Boise over Mores Creek Summit and cycled from Seattle to Portland twice. Long distance motorcycle trips began in 1976. Their trips including Canada, down the west Coast, Mexico, and the eastern United States. They stopped riding in their 70’s. And throughout the years, skiing Bald Mountain was and is a favorite place. Jerry Ann is a woman of faith, active in Our Lady of Snows Catholic Church. She served the community on the cemetery board for twelve years and volunteered with the local elections for 43 years. She is a woman who considers herself blest with her husband, her sons, dear family and longtime friends from her first days here in the Valley. As she says “God has been good to us”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/2313218b-8f2a-4fc3-9fc2-775a86b6c549/HeritageCourt2024-13.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2024 - Lady Dianne Parke Dianne Parke of Carey moved to the Wood River Valley from Heber City, Utah when she was five years old. Her father was serving in the war at the time and Dianne and her mother moved to Carey to be closer to family. The strong sense of community and the beautiful surroundings has kept Dianne from ever leaving. “I love the people, the changing seasons, and the stunning natural beauty of the area.” Dianne met her future husband, Darwin, during high school. At the time, Darwin was already five years older than Dianne and was attending Brigham Young University in Provo. One summer, while Darwin was home working at the Carey gas station, he arranged their first date in an unusual way. Since he had to work, Darwin asked his twin brother to call Dianne and pretend to be him to set the date. Both she and Darwin started their year together at BYU. They tied the knot right after she completed her freshman year and have been together ever since. They will be married sixty-one years strong on August 28th. One of Dianne’s proudest achievements has been being a mother and raising her family in Carey. She has five children, 22 grandchildren and by the end of August, she’ll have 16 great- grandchildren, including a granddaughter who is expecting twins in a few days! As Darwin farmed and worked in the oil and gas business, Dianne began her professional career as a teacher in Dietrich. She taught 2nd and 3rd graders together there for one year. She eventually got a teaching position in Carey, where she taught 4th grade. Dianne taught for 19 years until her retirement from the Blaine County School District in 2007. As well as being proud of her family, Dianne is proud of the achievements of her students, many of whom have gone on to do remarkable things. In addition to her teacher career, she and her husband spent 18 months on a mission at the Navajo Indian Reservation. Sent on their LDS mission to help uplift the local community, they team taught career workshops and employment skills, assisting the Navajo Indians to obtain jobs. At the end of the workshops, the participants were able to present a 30-second summary of themselves. One memorable experience from her mission was tutoring a young man to obtain his GED and help him secure a job. Dianne later discovered that his mother also did not have her GED and was able to help her obtain a certificate as well. Besides enjoying the art of baking bread, Dianne has been actively involved in the community through church activities, visiting the elderly, and volunteering in various capacities. For Dianne, Carey and the Wood River Valley is more than a place to live; it’s a community where she’s found purpose and fulfillment through teaching, family and volunteering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/46f2ae50-7ccf-433e-8b93-acbb66e398c8/HeritageCourt2024-12.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2024 - Lady Ann VanEvery Ann VanEvery of Bellevue is a strong, independent individual deeply rooted in taking care of family and community. Ann was born in Arapaho, Nebraska, and lived there until 1955 when her adopted parents Helen and Carl Hall moved the family to Rupert, Idaho. In Idaho, Helen and Carl contributed to the expansion of Lockwood Raiders, a farming supplies company. Ann attended Minico High School and graduated in 1966. Ann married her first husband, Ed VanEvery before relocating to Bellevue. Ed was an electrician and one of the first radio announcers in the valley. They had a daughter named Sonya and soon purchased a property on 6th Street “where her neighbors were pasture, horses and cattle.” Ann’s greatest pride and accomplishment is her family and her extended family. Her grandchildren are Elizabeth, Zachery, Vanessa, and Gabe, and her great-grandchildren are Esham, Carvyn, Isiah (lost at an early age), Maxon, Barclay, Lylla, and Zyana. Ann’s adopted daughter, has three children: Marcos, Lilianna, and Lucas. “Nana’s house” where Ann still resides, remains the primary home where most of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren live just a stone’s throw away. Ann met her second husband Michael Douglas while working as a bartender at the Silver Dollar. They married in 1982 and were together until his death in 2011. She became a mom to her stepchildren Michael Douglas and Brenda Douglas and her “adopted” daughter, Sara Johnston. One of many jobs in Ann’s early days was working at the First Security Bank in the Lane Building on the corner of Sun Valley Road where she lived in one of the original log cabins in Ketchum. She took a position at the Sun Valley Resort in 1974, working there until she retired in 2020. As the resort head cashier, Ann worked for Bill Janss before the Holdings took over and still remains a close friend to Carol Holding. Over the years, Ann has become deeply connected to her community. Together with her first husband and Bellevue community members, Ann formed the valley’s first search and rescue in 1973. They were the first to introduce bloodhounds to aid in searches. Ann started attending the St. Charles church and is seen ushering Sunday morning masses while raising funds for the 2023 140th year celebration. Ann also finds time to be a Wood River Toy Run member. According to her step-grandson Gabe, “My grandma uses her experience to help raise funds for unsupported families that help give children fantastic Christmases. Retirement has been anything but relaxation.” Ann is particularly proud of her role as a home care giver. She’s dedicated her life to caregiving, beginning with her daughter Sonya, and has continued in this role ever since. Both Ann’s stepchildren were born with disabilities necessitating frequent visits to specialists and doctors. She would often put her job on hold to ensure they received the care they needed. In addition to her caregiving duties, Ann experienced significant personal losses. When her second husband passed away in 2011, Ann contributed to the Douglas’s corner of the Hailey Cemetery. She had her name engraved on the family headstone, humorously noting that she’s already paid for her final resting place. Following her stepdaughter’s death in 2022, Ann took in Brenda’s children Gabe and Vanessa. She helped Gabe complete high school and supported him through college. She also provides a certified family home and ongoing support for her stepson, who uses a wheelchair. Ann is the official after-school babysitter for her stepdaughter’s children and the youngest, five year old Isaac. Ann’s tireless work often goes unacknowledged, and she rarely take credit for her contributions. Her dedication and selflessness embody the qualities of an unsung hero, making a significant impact on her family’s lives and the community of Bellevue. https://www.bchistoricalmuseum.org/heritage-court/c5bddyloubbsy5epgvi0aqrpo3vvna-fezxj-rjwwf monthly 0.5 2024-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/f730c7f3-949c-4716-9f35-114d33cf24ee/Peggy+Dean.jpeg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2023 - Lady Peggy Dean Peggy Dean of Ketchum moved here to ski on Bald Mountain. One of the very few people born within Yosemite National Park, Peggy’s father was the winter sports director and Peggy started downhill skiing when she was three or four years old. Winter sport was in her blood. Peggy skied throughout her youth. She married an avid skier, Howard Dean, and they had two children, a boy and a girl who, of course, skied. After a few weeklong ski vacations to Sun Valley, they decided to move here in 1978. They bought a gas station south of Ketchum and turned it into a tire and auto repair business, Dean Tire. They bought a house in Hulen Meadows and worked to establish the new business, skiing the weekends. Peggy with her degree in education, worked as a substitute teacher (and later, in special education), did the bookkeeping for their business and was active with the Ski Education Foundation while her kids were ski racing. She joined the Sun Valley Ski Club right after moving here and is still an active member. Peggy’s volunteerism did not focus only on skiing. Early on, she became a member of the Papoose Club and has also volunteered with the Community Library, the Sun Valley Museum for the Arts, and the Environmental Resource Center, to name a few. She served on the board of the Ketchum/Sun Valley Historical Society Board and on the Community Library Board. Howard passed away in 1994. Peggy’s son lives in the Valley and her daughter is in Washington; there are several grandchildren to enjoy. Peggy still downhill skis (“of course”, she says) but mixes it up with Nordic skate skiing. She hikes in the summer, has biked several sections of the Continental Divide trail and “loves being in the mountains”. One more tie between Peggy and Sun Valley--her father. He was an Olympian who had competed in ski jumping and Nordic skiing in the 1928 Olympics. But Peggy didn’t know until she was in college that Averell Harriman had hired him in 1936 to ski various hills around Ketchum and scout the specific location for the Sun Valley ski area. His name: Charley Proctor. The mountain with the first chairlift in the world was named after him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/a9504398-04a9-459b-9192-8ff04d084a66/Carol+Eittreim.jpeg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2023 - Lady Carol Eittreim Carol Farrow Eittreim of Bellevue describes herself as all about family. She first came to the Wood River Valley from Pendleton, OR in 1971 with her four children, ages 6 to 12, at the urging of her cousin. She applied and got a secretarial position with the VP of Finance for Sun Valley Company. Their first home was a rental in Hailey and then with the construction of China Gardens she was able to buy their own home with an affordable payment. In 1976 she married Bill Eittreim whom she had met at Sun Valley Company. Bill had one child, 6 years old, so together they were a family of seven. Carol left Sun Valley Company in 1977 to work for Bitterroot Realty/Property Management. Bill and Carol subsequently bought the property management division of Bitterroot and operated it until 1995. She says one wears many hats in the property management business. The year 1978 took them to Bellevue where they remodeled a house on Broadford Road, making it their home for 42 years. Carol has fond memories of dozens of family and friend gatherings at their beautiful home. In 1999 a new employment venture for Bill took them to Boise where they bought and renovated a 100-year-old home close to the downtown area. They enjoyed their time in Boise but when Bill joined Carol in retirement, they had to decide if they would stay in Boise or move to where the family was. The choice was easy; move home to Bellevue. Over the years Carol and Bill have been enthusiastic supporters/fans of all the sports the kids and seven grandkids and eight great-grandkids have been involved in from a very early age to adults in co-ed ball! Carol herself is physically active in walking, hiking, yoga, biking. She says she also has ridden a good many miles on the back of a Honda Goldwing motorcycle with Bill and cousins touring the West, Mexico and one trip to Savannah, GA Carol is an active member of St. Charles Borromeo Parish in Hailey. Today, Carol is happy to be surrounded by a myriad of activities, friends and family in Bill and her “forever” lovely home built in 2020 on their daughter and son-in-law’s property. Carol’s motto: Strong women raise strong women raise strong women. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/a3c32d8f-a911-4b89-bb3f-77c347a128dc/GG+portrait.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2023 - Lady Geegee Lowe Geegee Lowe of Hailey is here and there, often within the same day. You’ll see her working at the Hailey Welcome Center then in the office at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church. A couple hours later she is managing volunteers at the Hailey Public Library book sale or working at the Episcopal Thrift Store then off to a 4th of July or Kiwanis Club meeting. She says of herself, “I show up”, and indeed she does. Born in the east, at 24, Geegee looked around her office and said, “I don’t want to be here for my whole career”. On a journey of adventure, she arrived in the Wood River Valley in 1976. She says she didn’t come for the skiing (although she does ski). She stopped to visit and stayed because she fell in love with the valley and variety of things to do here. Variety is the quintessential element of Geegee’s life. In 1978, Geegee met Robert Lowe and was happily married 33 years until his passing in 2014. They were blessed with three amazing children and several grandchildren to spoil. Geegee’s work resume is about as varied as it could be. Her first job in the valley was chinking log cabins. Like many, she worked for Sun Valley Company, reservations in the winter and grounds crew in the summer. She worked for the “Ketchum Sun Valley Chamber Resort Association” until starting a family became #1. While the kids were young, she ran a daycare. Then on to an assortment of jobs – The Mountain Express, the Carousel Toy Store, BCRD, Hailey Public Library, and Trailing of the Sheep. Geegee has organized the Hailey Cemetery Memorial Day ceremony for many years, an event close to her heart. She is also active with the Friends of the Hailey Public Library, promoting the love of reading. For the Trailing of the Sheep Festival, she coordinates volunteers for the numerous activities of the event. Geegee is also involved with the 4th of July Parade, one of her favorite events, and Kiwanis – which is all about kids. Geegee loves being a part of giving back. Her philosophy is “show up” and “help where you can”. She is grateful to call home “an amazing and generous community of non-profits that create a vibrant calendar of opportunities for making a positive difference in the lives of others.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/e8d66df1-1318-4378-9ba4-5f58366e16ed/Becky+Payne.jpeg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2023 - Lady Becky Payne Becky Payne of Carey has deep roots in the Wood River Valley; more specifically in the Carey area. One of Becky’s grandfathers, Jim Telfer, immigrated from Scotland around 1893 and by 1910 he owned land in Fish Creek. Her other grandfather, Worthington Eldredge, came north from Utah as an infant in 1892. Becky’s mom grew up on the family sheep and cattle ranch in Fish Creek. Becky went to school in Carey and after graduating from Carey High School, went to Boise for an accounting degree. Then she came home. Becky’s husband, Dick Payne, also went to Carey High School. They were good friends, and after Becky got back from Boise, they became sweethearts and married in 1974. Dick hauled hay for awhile but then took over the family ranch/farm on Silver Creek, the Payne Ranch. They ran cattle for a while but then shifted their operation to focus on hay (alfalfa). They still have the property in Fish Creek. But they live on Silver Creek with their son now running the farm. Becky put her accounting degree to good use working for Adamson’s Grocery (for 42 years) and keeping the books for the Ranch. Becky and Dick have four children and six grandchildren. All live close enough to gather at the Ranch for good times. While raising the kids, Becky was very involved with 4-H. As she says, the discipline and commitment to raising a lamb is good for a youngster. Becky says her mother instilled a work ethic in her and her sister; she has instilled that in her family. Becky also was on the Blaine County Fair Board for many years. The annual fair, in Carey, is a place to showcase a wide array of skills taken on by 4-H kids, from raising livestock to canning string beans to needlepoint. Becky is involved at the Carey Senior Center with lunches and the exercise class. Becky says she has a good life and lives in a good community. She has demonstrated her commitment to her community and her heritage through her lifelong involvement in Carey. https://www.bchistoricalmuseum.org/heritage-court/c5bddyloubbsy5epgvi0aqrpo3vvna-fezxj monthly 0.5 2023-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1655578100873-OFUV9TMJXU7W2P4GRIC3/2022+Lady+Larraine.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2022 - Lady Larraine Davis Larraine Davis of Carey, born Juanita Larraine Bell, was born in Hailey. Her mother was Basque, immigrating from Spain as a young child. Larraine’s father worked in mining until his tragic death at the Triumph Mine when Larraine was two years old. She and her mother moved to Oakley, Idaho to be close to her father’s family. Larraine graduated high school in Oakley, and soon after married a cowboy named Lloyd Davis from Rupert. Lloyd and Larraine moved to a ranch in Carey, where they have been for over 60 years. As Lloyd was the ranch foreman, Larraine would help with the cattle and horses. She also enjoyed cooking for the branding and shipping crews. Larraine and Lloyd had 3 children, two girls and a boy. While raising their children, Larraine also spent 33 years in bookkeeping for the City of Hailey’s Clerk Office. There she received an International Institution of Certified Municipal Clerks award. She also worked 10 years as Carey School secretary and school aid, 10 years at the clerk’s office of the District & Magistrate Court of Blaine County, and spent some time as a newspaper reporter for the Wood River Journal and Twin Falls Times News. Larraine has been highly involved in the Carey community, serving as secretary, timer, and flag carrier for Carey Pioneer Days. She has helped with 4-H, Basque family history research, women's groups, and continues to be involved in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Larraine continues to live on the ranch in Carey, where she enjoys being in nature, reading, working on her beautiful gardens and spending time with her husband Lloyd. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1655578068770-SKO5GVFULT9LTDFS0JSL/2022+Lady+Mary+Ann.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2022 - Lady Mary Ann Flaherty Mary Ann Flaherty of Ketchum was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and first came to Sun Valley in 1949 with a high school friend. She became employed by the Union Pacific Railroad Company, waitressing in the Sun Valley Lodge and the Ram restaurant. Her natural good looks caused a publicity photographer to ask her to pose for a Sun Valley publicity still in 1950. In 1950, Mary Ann met John “Jack” Flaherty, the baker and pastry chef for Sun Valley. She reminisces about the comradery of the Sun Valley staff, who would go downtown to Ketchum together to have drinks and dance at the Alpine Club. “One evening, after finishing serving, the Ram kitchen and waitress staff all grabbed sleeping bags around 9pm and went up to Baker Lake in the dark, staying up until 3am. The next morning Jack jumped right into the ice cold lake!” The couple wed in 1951 and decided to make their permanent home in Sun Valley, Idaho. Their first child was delivered by Dr. Moritz in the Sun Valley Lodge, whose upper levels were still being used, as Mary Ann says, “for ski injuries and babies” since being a convalescent hospital for the Navy after WW2. Mary Ann is an accomplished seamstress, and would make outfits and quilts for her children. Dress maker Sonja Tarnay took notice of her skill, and asked Mary Ann to sew skirts for her to sell in Pete Lane’s in Ketchum. Mary Ann recalls with fondness the beautiful wool and silk fabrics she would use for the popular long skirts. In 1958, Jack and Mary Ann bought a lot in Warm Springs, which Mary Ann considered to be “out in the toolies”, and built the house that she would live in for 60 years. After raising their four children, Mary Ann continued to do charitable work around Ketchum, including volunteering at the hospital making the “new baby” packages for the labor and delivery wing. She continues to stay involved in her church and social groups in Ketchum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1655578022842-RCZWJAOL0BIGIP1E51ZE/2022+Lady+Betty.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2022 - Lady Betty Grant Betty Grant of Hailey is a familiar face to many coming through the Friedman Memorial Airport, where she volunteers as a survey taker. She enjoys the job due to her love of people and self-proclaimed “gift of gab”. Betty was born on a rural Minnesota farm, but was always up for an adventure. To attend high school, she worked for her own room and board, and tuition, by taking summer jobs at Whitefish Lake. In the summer of 1953, she took the Northern Pacific Railroad overnight train to Montana. She was filled with awe at the beautiful mountain landscapes. She spent the summer at Yellowstone Park, waitressing in the Lodge. Betty attended college at the University of Minneapolis, and continued her education at the Swedish Hospital of Nursing. She worked in a hospital using her LPN degree, until the opportunity came to head west and work for the Sun Valley Company. Being part of Sun Valley’s ‘posh waitressing staff’ suited Betty just fine, and she recalls the glamour and excitement of the Sun Valley Lodge. “In the Christmas season, the air smelled of pine boughs…the orchestra would be playing, and us girls would go around in Tyrolean aprons serving hors d'oeuvres…there was just so much atmosphere!” Betty also enjoyed the perks of Union Pacific train passes, and would join her friends on many adventures to the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, and Hoover Dam. She flew to Mexico with her friend, bouncing around to Mexico City, Acapulco, and Juarez. Betty tried a career in the aviation business for a time in Seattle, going to an airline finishing school for Northwest Airlines. But she continued coming back to Sun Valley to ski, and made a fortuitous acquaintance with handsome Bill Grant. “Oh, that enterprising man…” she would say. After moving back to Idaho and renting a house from Bill with her sister, their romance began and Betty and Bill were married in 1963. The two were a matched pair, and Betty describes their marriage as “fun, fiery, and adventurous.” They raised 6 daughters, and were both active in the community's social and business scene. After her husband's passing, Betty lives in Hailey and is involved with many community groups, always ready for a good chat with a friend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1655577989662-WWVSLYKUPYVSGVUXV34R/2022+Lady+Nancy.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2022 - Lady Nancy Kennette Nancy Kennette of Bellevue moved to Idaho in 1978, and was excited to live in such a beautiful area, having a deep love of nature. The first house she lived in was a “cute little cabin when we moved in the summer. Little did we know the insulation was not up to par, and my first winter in Idaho was spent with frozen pipes!” Nancy was born in Norfolk, Nebraska. Her father had been a farmer, but after serving in the Navy showed him a larger glimpse of the world, he and his wife decided to pack up their four kids under the age of 9 and move to northern California. Nancy began 2nd grade at Gridley Elementary, where she formed a friends group that she stays in touch with to this day. Nancy attended Yuba College and University of California, where she graduated with a degree in social welfare and was ready, as she put it “to go out and help the world!” Life took many turns for her however, and as she was working as seamstress in a tailor shop to pay for her college tuition, she met her first husband. He and Nancy had two sons together, and made the move to Idaho. They bought a house in Bellevue in 1982 that Nancy kept after their marriage ended. As Nancy was a single mom, she was resourceful in her life with her two sons. She and other young moms formed a babysitting co-op where “we would each take a day of the week and have all the kids at our house, while the other moms worked” thus allowing the other days to be available for their jobs. Nancy was involved in exercise classes, where she recalls the support of other local women. “I remember talking to older women about life’s challenges, and they would tell me it's all going to be okay- and keep your chin up!” Nancy worked in property management and cleaning for Sun Valley Aviation and private homes, building a long-time client base before giving the business to some of her employees. She also became active in many supportive community groups, including joining the NAMI board and helping to offer some of the first mental health services in Bellevue. She is also involved in the Hunger Coalition. Nancy found love with husband Sam, after meeting him on a Salmon River excursion, and together they found a love of adventure, hiking, biking, and exploring the many hot springs in the area. Sam and Nancy also enjoy working on her beautiful gardens and fruit trees, from which many friends and neighbors receive jars of apricot jam every year. Nancy continues to live in Bellevue. https://www.bchistoricalmuseum.org/heritage-court/c5bddyloubbsy5epgvi0aqrpo3vvna-tws3z-sjel5 monthly 0.5 2021-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1627508341663-FKOUDDW8XQT06AV5084T/Jane+Drussel+HC+2021.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2021 - Jane Drussel Jane Drussel was born in Oklahoma. In 1970 she and her four little boys moved to the Wood River Valley. At that time, as now, housing was hard to find, and the six of them crowded into a little Red Top cabin for a memorable summer until they were able to build their own home. After several years working in retail up and down the valley, she started Jane's Paper Place in Giacobbi Square in Ketchum in 1985. The business expanded into Hailey a few years later and became a valley fixture. Needing a break, she and her husband Ken sold everything in 2004, moved into a motorhome, and became traveling reps for the gift industry. That lasted until 2009 when they moved back to the valley and opened the current store, Jane's Artifacts and Holiday House, in downtown Hailey. Jane has a strong sense of community involvement. When her boys were in school, she was active in the Bellevue PTA. She's been president of the Chamber of Commerce, is active in Rotary, and stays in touch with city government. The city needs to be business-friendly, she thinks, and the business community needs to have its voice heard. A current issue is the state's plan to upgrade Main Street this summer. How will that impact downtown businesses? What will be the effect of the huge, rumbling machines on Hailey's older brick buildings? The biggest business concerns Jane has now are countywide: help and housing. The housing crunch and rocketing rents make it hard to attract and keep employees. Even most "work force" housing is too expensive for what local retail business can pay their workers. But she loves what she does and has plenty of energy, as evidenced by the big changes she's making to Jane's Artifacts. The Holiday House, in the old D. L. Evans Bank space, will become a stationery store while the Main Street store will have an expanded selection of art and craft supplies. For decades Jane has kept in tune with her customers and the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1627508943000-TL5FWR41QKAOVRK3AGEP/JoAn+Walker+HC+2021.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2021 - JoAn Walker Years ago a friend made JoAn Walker a handsome wooden sign that hangs in her home, "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys." That was true when she was in grade school and has been true all her life. Born in West Valley, California, in the land of the gold rush, she married her childhood sweetheart, Jim Walker in 1955. And while cows didn't play much part in their lives, horses certainly did. Her home is filled with trophies, crystal bowls, and mementos of their decades of raising and racing quarter horses, including a beauty named Zoomin for Spuds, the 2016 Champion of Champions. They moved to the North Shore of Magic Reservoir in 1969, where JoAn was in charge of the restaurant for a short time. In 1972 they moved to Ketchum and twelve years later, needing more space, they moved to Hailey, where they had a few horses and knew they wanted more. That led to the large spread where JoAn lives now, south of Bellevue and where their life with horses really developed. While Jim started and ran Walker Sand and Gravel a few miles south and JoAn served briefly as office manager, they, with the help of hired hands and trainers, raised a string of horses that won trophies and medals all around the West. In each town they lived they made life-long friends, and now JoAn keeps in touch with local friends and those who have moved states away. The memories of the fun and adventures, most of them involving beautiful or ornery horses, are many. The last five years have brought a lot of heartache to JoAn. Two of her three children have died, a son from a heart attack on Baldy, her daughter in a car accident in Boise. And Jim, her husband of more than sixty years, is gone now, too. But her son Jim and his family, including great-grandchildern, keep the past alive and the present busy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1627509009415-9N5IUX6GPJP0X4984GZ3/Linda+Vinagre+HC+2021.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2021 - Linda Vinagre Linda Vinagre grew up in Santa Monica when it was a lazy beach town. In her 20s she worked in the records department of the local college until a friend who had moved to Sun Valley convinced her to come for a visit. That was it: goodbye California beaches, hello to the mountains of Idaho. She loved having four seasons to enjoy--for skiing, fly-fishing, and riding horses. A first date with a fellow named Gary, who arrived on a motorcycle to take her on a picnic, led to marriage in 1970. Linda worked as a waitress first at the Continental at the Sun Valley Inn and then at Louie's, which she loved even if it meant she went home smelling like a pizza. She spent a lot of time teaching classes at the Arts and Crafts Guild to children and adults---clay sculpture, flower arranging, faux painting---and in time found herself teaching children of the children. Now she enjoys working on her art at the Boulder Mountain Clayworks. When her daughter Shane was in school, Linda was active in the Papoose Club's Christmas bazaar and the Kindercup. She remembers Ketchum "was a great place to raise a child." Nearing 50, Linda and some of her friends noticed that things were not as easy to remember as they had been, so what to do? Have a party, what else? This turned from a get-together of 20 or so to an annual potluck for 70 to 100 friends with "memory issues." They sit around and help each other tell stories, they play bingo, they proudly wear their necessary name tags. People come from as far away as Europe to enjoy the party. Also for the past 40 years she and Gary have hosted a Christmas Eve party. Up to 100 people stop by with their kids, who until recently had Jack Williams for a Santa Claus. He would take the children out to the yard and point up to the lights of the groomers on Baldy. "See those lights? They are my reindeer, waiting for me to start our ride." Unforgettable. Linda has a real gift for her favorite thing in life, getting together with friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1627509127007-FVXFAPTLGNCJBLRXRNYG/Rosalie+Kirkland+HC+2021.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2021 - Rosalie Kirkland Rosalie Kirkland was born into a pioneer family in American Fork, Utah, where she played in the band from grade school through high school and worked at one of the first Arctic Circle restaurants. After graduating from BYU in 1965 in elementary education, her first job was teaching first grade in the very schoolroom where she herself had started school. She married Heber Kirkland, a BYU graduate, in the Salt Lake temple, and they moved to Twin Falls, where Heber taught in the high school and coached track. In 1972 they moved with their children to Carey to live on Heber's family farm. After teaching kindergarten for ten years, Rosalie moved on to first grade for another ten years and retired in 2001. Her oldest granddaughter was a student in her last class. Retirement has kept her active in church work around the country. Rosalie and her husband first worked on a mission in Window Rock, Arizona, on the Navaho reservation. Their second mission was to Nauvoo, Illinois, where, dressed in 19th century costumes, they led tours to the area's many historical sites that are important in LDS history. A third mission was at the Family History Library in Salt Lake, which fit right into Rosalie's interest in her own family's genealogy. Their latest church assignment was as ordinance workers in the Twin Falls temple, helping other church members. Her son Lane teaches in the Carey school and runs the farm, and Rosalie and Heber still live on the land. She enjoys her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, gardens and puts up preserves---and works on expanding the family history with pictures and newspaper articles from the past. Rosalie Kirkland has been a teacher in everything she does. https://www.bchistoricalmuseum.org/heritage-court/c5bddyloubbsy5epgvi0aqrpo3vvna-tws3z-dmy4z monthly 0.5 2021-03-17 https://www.bchistoricalmuseum.org/heritage-court/c5bddyloubbsy5epgvi0aqrpo3vvna-tws3z monthly 0.5 2021-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1615948530705-VNFO6LKGV4OH6ZN13TIK/2019+Connie+Heritage+Court.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2019 - Connie Grabow She had the unique experience of caring for the poet Robert Frost briefly as the poet lived out his last days near Harvard where she was attending college. And she regrets that she didn’t invite a young John F. Kennedy to coffee when she spotted him walking through the halls one evening, his shoulders slumped. Connie Grabow brought a lifetime of such experiences to Sun Valley in 1980. And in the 39 years since, she’s created a lifetime of new experiences, helping to grow the Community Library, raising funds for the hospital and serving meals for Souper Supper and The Hunger Coalition. “Thirty-nine years here—I’ve been here longer than any place else. My children live here. My grandson and granddaughter went to school here…I have real roots here,” she said. What Grabow’s cultivated here have not gone unnoticed. The City of Ketchum nominated her this year to the 2019 Blaine County Historical Museum Heritage Court. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1608694186127-AA9X55LVFBFMGZF0T3K4/2019+Pam+Heritage+Court.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2019 - Pam Rayborn She was known as the Queen of the Silver Dollar for her penchant for dancing.

The event will take place at 3 p.m. today—Sunday, June 9—at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey.

When heavy snows came, even she was pressed into collecting and delivering the milk. “Paul would collect the cans of milk and take them to the Kraft plant,” she said. “And when everything got snowed in, you couldn’t get to the places where they had the cans because nothing was plowed. So we’d commandeer all our friends who had snow machines and everyone would go out and collect the cans of milk.

And she’s had a hand in a lot of that history, having worked and volunteered for an array of organizations from the Blaine County Recreation District to the Crisis Hotline, from the board of the Hailey Public Library to the Blaine County Fair Board. MacLeod will be honored for her contributions to Hailey and the Wood River Valley on June 10 when she is inducted into the Blaine County Heritage Court, along with Faye Hatch Barker, JoAnn Levy and Vonnie Olsen.

But it felt right when he slipped an engagement ring on the finger of Faye Hatch, who was one grade behind him, as she entered her senior year. It stuck. Pat and Faye have been married 53 years, carving out a niche for themselves on a patch of ground along Gannett Road that once was part of the family sheep ranch. “I wrote ‘A diamond is a girl’s best friend’ in my high school yearbook,” Faye said, pulling the Growler yearbook from a shelf in her living room as evidence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598629290893-BB12VS1RK02HZ53MEPU7/Jo-Anne-Levy-238x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2018 - JoAnn Levy JoAnn Levy Embodies the Aloha Spirit.

The school building resembled an early Forest Service lookout and the wind howled through the windows until someone put on new windows and asbestos siding on it. Her father was a dairyman who raised Jersey cows, along with potatoes, and onion seeds. And he was deferred during the war, Grace recalls, because he was more valuable on the farm than in a uniform. Grace Eakin has painted numerous paintings of the wildlife she sees on her ranch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598560920054-YFHLVYF7110VE42JN665/heritage_2017_Edith.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2017 - Edith Conrad “They didn’t have radios then,” Conrad recalled. “If he got stuck or the snow plow broke down, he ended up walking.” Conrad has seen more than seven decades of Idaho snowstorms, having been born in Rigby. But she never let a single one deter her from a busy life of teaching Sunday school classes, holding Cub Scout meetings or volunteering with the Parent Teacher Organization for Carey School. And that dedication earned her a spot on the 2014 Blaine County Historical Museum’s Heritage Court, which honors women who have gone above and beyond in their contributions to making the Wood River Valley what it is today.

But the trade she made opened up a world of new opportunities for the young lass from Toronto, Canada. She ended up rubbing elbows with such movers and shakers as former President Jimmy Carter and Erma Bombeck. And her path eventually brought her to Ketchum where the former Canadian, who sets out the American flag daily in front of her Warm Springs home, ended up deeply enmeshed in Idaho politics. Murphy’s work on behalf of Blaine County Democrats, the Sun Valley Ski and Heritage Museum and other organizations has led to her being one of four women named to the 2017 Blaine County Heritage Court. She will be inducted in a ceremony at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 11, at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey, along with Sue Rowland, Grace Eakins and Edith Conrad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598561119858-MZ0REOVSNJ2A4P18NOFO/heritage_2017_Sue.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2017 - Sue Rowland When Sue and Frank Rowland moved to Hailey in 1972, their daughter Ginger could wave to the train conductor as he drove the Ketchum-bound train up the track a stone’s throw from the deck of their home on Fifth Avenue. Today their grandchildren wave at bicyclists passing by on the converted train tracks. And houses and trees now block the open view they once had all the way to Quigley Canyon.

John Davies’ great uncle Joe Rupert, for instance, was the guy who sued the county when Bellevue citizens thought they had won the vote to be county seat by one vote in 1881. It turned out a ballot box hadn’t been counted and Hailey got the nod to be the seat for the expansive Alturas County 1,110 to 1,090—an outcome that still sticks in the craw of some Bellevue residents.

It was a far cry from walking meadow full of wildflowers in the Wood River Valley and Stanley Basin. “Kansas City, where I received my training, was a whole other world full of shootings and suicides, multiple families living in one house.

Her grandparents were of Irish descent and moved to the West to seek their riches in America’s gold and silver mines. Her father Les Outzs, who grew up in Cleveland and drove an ammunition truck in France during World War I, served as Blaine County sheriff between 1940 and 1960, and her mother Mary helped found the county historical museum in 1964. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598558978833-9YTQCEX9IH53R2AQFRYN/2014_betts.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2014 - BETTS SIMON Elizabeth “Betts” Simon is the granddaughter of the man who founded the Nash automobile in 1917. She attended school with child star Shirley Temple. And she has carved out a “classic Sun Valley life” for herself that included playing golf with the late Gretchen Fraser, America’s first Olympic alpine ski medalist. Born in Wisconsin, Simon grew up in the shadow of the Detroit automobile business thanks to her grandfather Charles W. Nash and her father, who worked for Chrysler. Cars, though a novelty for many Americans, were nothing special for her, she said, since they were such a familiar part of her life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598559072384-33SUSB2HJES5XC9U1EGH/2014_joyce.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2014 - Joyce Edwards Joyce Edwards has eclipsed 70. But that hasn’t stopped her from standing in front of 18 fellow seniors and showing them how to exercise their arms by holding a rubber band with one hand and pulling back on it with the other as if it were a bow. Over the next hour she leads the seniors, including a 94-year-old woman, through a variety of exercises including lifting two-pound rubber balls filled with sand. “It started four years ago after I was rear-ended in Bellevue,” said the Carey woman. “It broke the frame of my 1951 pickup and popped the rotator cuff in my right shoulder. I joined a class similar to this at the Hailey Senior Center for therapy. And, when they asked if anyone was interested in teaching a group in Carey, I said, ‘Yeah, I will.’ ” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598559161540-Q4KUAJ6MFUPJ9LNYZ5W2/2014_vivian.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2014 - Vivian Bobbitt When Vivian Bobbitt and her husband Bill moved to Bellevue some 30 years ago they boosted the town’s population many-fold. They brought truckloads of cows, horses, ducks, dogs, rabbits, chickens—even pheasants–from their former home in Rupert. Oh, and two children to boot. “We brought lots of loads,” said Bobbitt. “When I had a day care at our home, the children called us Ol McBobbitt’s Farm. They loved for me to take them walking around to see all the animals.” Vivian’s day still begins with the crowing of the rooster. The neighbors’ dogs promptly bounce over to beg for treats with her dogs. Then it’s on to feed dozens of chickens, including some new baby chicks, and 25 peacocks. https://www.bchistoricalmuseum.org/heritage-court/heritage-court-2013 monthly 0.5 2020-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598558466392-RPRT2W50LMJOXFLSGNNE/IMG_0019E-240x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2013 - Wendy Collins Wendy Collins became a mailbox minister in 1967 during the height of the Vietnam War for personal reasons. “I had two little boys and didn’t want them to get drafted because Vietnam was so horrible. I thought if I should show we had a conscientious objector in our family, I could protect them from the draft,” she said, adding that the boys were free to enlist if they so choose. That ministerial license bought through the mail eventually grew into a full-fledged ordained minister’s license and a full-time passion for Collins. She has married countless couples, conducted Sunday services for the Wood River Spiritual Center for seven years and even officiated over the… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598558584991-SX9HUJUH0ABGYMYRJ4ST/dolly.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2013 - Dolly Collier Dolly Collier tells the story that so many Wood River Valley residents tell. She and her husband Lynn spent their honeymoon in Sun Valley skiing. When they returned to show their kids where they’d spent their honeymoon, they fell in love with the area all over again. They sold their chicken farm next to the then-fledgling Disneyland in Orange County, California, in 1968. And they and a hundred dairy cows moved onto a farm south of Bellevue. “It was so nice,” said Collier, who had grown up in Hollywood where her Dad was in the butter and egg business. “You could sit by the highway and talk for hours without ever seeing another car.” Collier has had plenty of opportunities to reminisce about the good ol’ days in the Wood River Valley since the Bellevue Historical Society named her to the… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598558686518-29I9KN31JM8K7OYZLGO9/mary.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2013 - Mary Green Mary Green has lived in the Carey area all over her 77 years, save a stint during high school when she spent a summer working as a maid for Sun Valley and stayed in the resort dorm. “I enjoyed it,” she said. “We could hike on the golf course after work and I liked to sit and watch the people—like Bing Crosby, who was making a show while I was there. Mary Green was born the year the Sun Valley Lodge was built. But she didn’t have to drive the 46 miles from her home near Carey to skate on the iconic ice skating rink that soon emerged outside the lodge. She grew up skating, instead, on a pond that sat the length of a football field from her family’s farmhouse on the Little Wood River six miles north of Carey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598558773270-EEBR7JZZJV1724MOS5GJ/price.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2013 - Laren Price Lauren Price has been a Job’s Daughter and an Eastern Star. She played alto saxophone in the school band. It would be difficult to find many people whose roots stretch deeper into the Wood River Valley’s soil than Laren Price. Both sets of great-grandparents came to the Wood River Valley in 1881 as the valley’s mining boomed. “My dad’s bunch—David and Mary Davies—were from Wales. My great-grandfather worked in the Philadelphia Smelter in Ketchum before moving to Broadford near what is now Bellevue to work for the Queen of the Hills mine,” she said. “My maternal great grandparents—Frances Ensign and his Dublin-born wife Margaret came to Hailey from Silver City and built a home near Bullion and 3rd Avenue. He was chairman of the Democratic Territorial Central Committee and ran a couple times for Supreme Court justice.” https://www.bchistoricalmuseum.org/heritage-court/heritage-court-2012 monthly 0.5 2020-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598557141614-ZEF6TZMLTB3E0OE5BNCN/2012_mary_ellen-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2012 - Mary Ann Knight Mary Ann Knight has driven the Blaine County Heritage Court carriage in valley parades since the court made its debut in 2008. This year she’ll get a reprieve from the reins—this longtime dental assistant who likes to say she “retired three dentists” has been named to the Heritage Court herself. Knight was nominated for this year’s court by the Papoose Club for her work with 4-H and the Sawtooth Rangers where she organized the tea for rodeo royalty each summer. The court was established to pay homage to women who have made the valley what it is today, said Mike Healy, one of the organizers.

Dropping to her stomach, she reaches down and pulls the 2-foot-long snake off the log to the delight of the youngsters watching her. “It pooped on me,” she exclaims, as the kids gather around her. “Wasn’t that a mean thing to do to a snake?—to scare it like that? There’s no way these guys can hurt us at all.” “How do you know so much?” a dark-eyed girl asks her. “Well, honey, I’m old and I’ve been studying a long time,” Ann tells her. Indeed, Ann Christensen is now in her 70s.

As Blaine County clerk, she was often the first to know which Hollywood star was buying a mansion near Sun Valley and who was updating their passport to travel around the world. “I recorded deeds and mortgages so I always knew who was buying or selling a home. I knew who was getting married. And I even learned about the property people owned in the 1880s, thanks to the people researching their genealogies,” she said. Riemann will be honored for her contributions to the valley by being inducted into the Blaine County Historical Museum’s 2012 Heritage Court on June 24… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598557521440-W4KDMEANWYYAZVKZD1GA/2012_mary.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2012 - Mary Peterson The Blaine County Historical Museum will welcome Carey native Mary Peterson to the Heritage Court this summer, celebrating her many years of public service and participation in the agricultural heritage of Blaine County. “I was flabbergasted and surprised by the honor,” said Peterson, whose family cleared land, farmed and ranched in Muldoon Canyon near Carey before the era of mechanized agriculture. “She is known worldwide for her rolls and sweet rolls—everyone wants her to bring them for picnics,” said her daughter-in-law Deb Peterson.

And at 75, Davis is still collecting them—a testament to the fitness level of this perky blond dynamo whose 118-pound frame still boasts the 22-inch waist she sported as an airline hostess. Davis is a familiar sight on Baldy and Nordic trails during winter. Come summer she can be spotted jogging six miles each morning and ushering at the Sun Valley Summer Symphony by night. It was Symphony leaders who nominated her for the 2011 Blaine County Heritage Court in honor of the 17 years she’s ushered alongside her husband Brack Davis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598555765639-Y33LU05EJDJRXOT0P1T2/2011_betsy-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2011 - Betsy Pearson When a black man in his 70s found himself homeless, Betsy Pearson issued him an invitation. “Come live with us,” she said. The man, who had been a maitre’d, ended up living with Betsy and her husband Bob for 30 years, jumping at every opportunity to pay them back by donning his white coat and draping a towel over his arm for the couple’s frequent dinner parties. The spacious yard tucked in the woods surrounding the four-bedroom, four-bath log home Betsy designed off Lower Broadford Road in 1972 never lacks for human companionship, whether it be for the family’s large family reunions or Monday night volleyball matches that lure teen-agers and 73-year-olds alike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598555872139-86B0O5AI80Y1J0BS7Q6W/2011_maxine-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2011 - maxine molyneux Wednesday was a seed sorting day for Maxine Molyneux. But at 81 she’s milked her last cow. “When I got past 80, I gave that up,” she laughed. She milked plenty before that day came, however. And you’d expect that from a woman who’s idea of success is “Bend over, get to work and don’t look up.” Molyneux, who lives at the end of Gannett Road in Picabo, has been a lifelong worker—one of the attributes that prompted the Trailing of the Sheep Festival organizers to nominate her to the Blaine County Museum’s Heritage Court. She will be crowned along with three other women at 3 p.m. June 19 in the Liberty Theatre in Hailey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598556042665-GGLOETTZIGNR80WOLCMZ/2011_theresa-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2011 - Theresa Richards Theresa Richards would be up for Best Supporting Role if the Wood River Valley ever handed out its own version of the Oscars. The Hailey homemaker supported her late husband Art while he served as the valley’s only dentist for many years. And later she took care of the couple’s eight children while Art built Rotarun ski area west of Hailey. For her efforts, Theresa will be inducted into the Blaine County Historical Museum Heritage Court at 3 p.m. Sunday at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. An Iowa farm girl, Theresa studied at a hospital nursing school in Council Bluffs, Iowa. World War II had just ended, she recalled, and the only careers available to women were nursing and teaching. https://www.bchistoricalmuseum.org/heritage-court/heritage-court-2010 monthly 0.5 2020-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598554948197-UEBLR4K5S3TLRXIMJNHL/2010sally-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2010 - Sally Donart The evergreens that Sally Donart planted outside her cabin retreat-like home north of Ketchum four decades ago now stretch 40 and 50 feet into the blue Sun Valley sky. The other seeds she planted have grown just as much. A bill she championed in the 1960s paved the way for mental health services in communities across Idaho. The Crisis Hotline she helped start has grown to be a vital part of the Wood River Valley. And the smart land use practices she championed as editor of the Ketchum Tomorrow newspaper have helped maintain the quality of life in the Sun Valley area, even as growth as taken Ketchum beyond the two paved roads that were here when Donart first came for a visit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598555119703-JNVXX0YKNNB2S2O81Z66/2010Phyllis-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2010 - Phyllis Stelma Got tresses? Phyllis Stelma has probably permed them, cut them or combed them out. Stelma has done the hair of both the rich and famous in Sun Valley and the miner’s wives in Bellevue for 63 years. Even at 81, she still takes up her hair scissors on occasion. “I did Mrs. Harrah’s hair—she wanted to take me back to Reno with her. I did Janet Leigh and Mary Hemingway’s—they would order lunch from Sun Valley while they sat under the driers. And when I opened my own shop in Bellevue, Jeanne Moritz—Dr. Moritz’s wife—would come all the way down to get her hair done,” recalls Phyllis, who charged $1.50 for a cut and $3.50 for a perm during the 1950s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598555284733-OSW5RXTKQ0UGDZRC0YN2/2010jean-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2010 - Jean Pyrah Jean Pyrah didn’t sew her first quilt stitch until she was 70. Now—20 years later—she’s made more than a hundred. The 90-year-old has made queen-sized quilts for each of her seven children and her 25 grandchildren and baby-sized quilts for each of her 60 great-grandchildren. “I can name all of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, too,” she said. “But I don’t know how. I can’t remember where I put my glasses six minutes ago.” Everyone, it seems, knows Jean Pyrah’s name around Carey. After all, she’s lived there for 75 years—ever since she moved there from Arco during high school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598555378213-NTJQIHF0GGD8RQWFODB6/2010fern-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2010 - Fern Stephenson If it had been up to Fern Stephenson, she might never have made her home in the Wood River Valley—not with the temperature dipping to 34 degrees the night she attended the Fourth of July rodeo. But her husband Frank was smitten by the hunting and fishing opportunities the Sun Valley area offered during the family’s vacation trip through the area. And, so, in 1966 the Stephensons said goodbye to the triple-digit heat of Phoenix and headed north to Hailey. “I couldn’t understand how people could live in the snow with their hands getting cold and all,” said Fern, who was inducted on Sunday into the Blaine County Heritage Court. “But Frank said: ‘You can always put on more clothes to keep warm, but you can’t do much to keep cool. https://www.bchistoricalmuseum.org/heritage-court/heritage-court-2009 monthly 0.5 2020-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598554127787-ZJYGQFBBE6N4O66NP7MQ/2009Alice-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2009 - Alice schernthanner Alice Schernthanner has been a fixture at Dollar Mountain for 30 years But she wondered if she would ever fit in when she first came to Sun Valley. As Alice tells it, she was following her Austrian ski instructor-husband Andy to Sun Valley in 1962 when her train from Denver pulled into Shoshone and the conductor ordered everyone out. “I had no idea where I was. I had thought I’d be getting out in Sun Valley and, as far as I knew, I was in the wrong state,” she recalled. “There were three of us on the bus for Sun Valley. It was Jan. 18 and that particular year the mountains were as brown as could be—except for the White Clouds… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598554267927-G0TXHLKF29GPPKFR8CV6/2009-Ethel-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2009 - Ethel Wells Ethel Wells has enjoyed several very different lives in her lifetime—from that of a young mother to an award-winning career to a string of national tennis championships in retirement. Now at 92 the perky 5-foot woman with a head full of red Lucille Ball-like curls is in the volunteer phase of her life. “I think a lot of my good health comes from being active,” she says. “Of course, my mother lived to be 99. One grandpa lived to be 101 and the other lived to 100.” Ethel was born in 1917 as World War I was ending. She grew up two blocks away from the University of Kansas stadium that her uncle built. But the Depression hit her family hard as construction stopped and her father found himself out of work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598554364611-E9E29PTUAFK8GBM84L5P/2009_esther-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2009 - Esther Boyd Esther Boyd has been around long enough to tell a lot of big fish tales. There was, for instance, the time she fetched a pail of water while camping near Redfish Lake and found so many coho salmon in the creek that the members of her camping party went after them with hooks stuck on the ends of two-foot sticks. “We hooked seven big ones,” she said, holding her hands four feet apart. “We roasted them over the fire and had a mighty good dinner that night. Of course, I’m sure you couldn’t do that today. I don’t know whether it was legal back then.” At 89, Esther is a card-carrying member of one of the valley’s pioneer families and so can attest to the many changes that have occurred in the valley through the years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598554469409-4SD5EYRT1MM5TGFIR3QC/2009_rita-200x300.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2009 - Rita Hurst At 78, Rita Hurst putters around the Rosebud Deli, laying out silverware and carrying dirty plates to the dishwasher. This is easy work, she sniffs, compared to what she used to do. There was a time, Rita boasts, that she used to put in a full day doing a man’s job. That included driving a 10-wheel logging truck up and over the narrow, dirt-covered hairpin turns of the old Galena Highway in the 1940s and ‘50s. “I didn’t need to do it, but I loved it. I liked the smell of the pines and being my own boss,” says Rita, who will be inducted into the Blaine County Historical Museum Heritage Court on June 14... https://www.bchistoricalmuseum.org/heritage-court/heritage-court-2008 monthly 0.5 2020-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598552887100-1PN18SYES8OR58L70PNQ/annafaye2008.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2008 - Anna Faye O’Donnell Mary Eskridge retains a vivid picture of her mother hunched over the sewing machine sewing the outline of a Bellevue Bulldog on a skirt for a school cheerleader. “All of a sudden the needle went right in my mother’s finger. It was in there so good she had to tear it out with a pair of pliers,” Eskridge recalls. “But it wasn’t a problem in her mind. She put another needle in and finished the rest of the skirts.” Anna Faye O’Donnell took the same hard-nosed tack in whatever she did, whether it was planning banquets for her two sons’ football and basketball teams or staying up all night to type up the minutes from a Bellevue City Council meeting… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598553232270-E208LR0IAL40KCIH9JYL/margaret2008.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2008 - Margaret Murdock Margaret Murdock is a woman of note in Carey. Not only does she still play organ for her church at the age of 88 but she taught hundreds of Carey youth how to play piano on the Wurlitzer piano she brought from Heber City, Utah, 60 years ago. “I had 47 students at one time—before school, after school, on Saturdays.

The area is considered to have some of the most challenging and beautiful skiing in Washington. But when the two got their chance they split for Sun Valley and Bald Mountain—what they call the best ski turf in the world. Here they helped build—and sell–Sun Valley. And they enjoyed the company of those who figure prominently in the annals of Sun Valley history. Now Mary Lou Mickelson is one of four women who have been named to the 2008 Blaine County Heritage Court for her part in the Wood River Valley’s heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598553503219-BNPOOUJPFO12TIDUWCJU/loisjean2008.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2008 - Lois Heagle Lois Heagle can still remember when her school class climbed the stairs of the second floor of the old Hailey Elementary School to watch the first passenger train go past, carrying the rich and famous to the new Sun Valley Ski Resort. It sparked a sense of adventure in the young impressionable student. But it was an adventure she could never take part in herself. “I had to give it up because I dislocated my hip when I was born,” recalls Heagle, now 81. “Dislocated hips were a common problem then but they didn’t check for it like they do now. They didn’t discover I had a problem and put it back in place until I was 2. “My doctor said, ‘I know where you’re from and I know what they do up there, but I think if you go skiing, you’ll break your hip. https://www.bchistoricalmuseum.org/heritage-court/heritage-court-2007 monthly 0.5 2020-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598550959701-WUDJ25SRNZXHJ95F4M9R/oralee2007.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2007 - Ora Lee Disbennett And in summer she’d ride her horse into town from the family farm, which sits 1 and one-half miles south of Bellevue. “In those days Highway 75 was US 93—it was a national highway,” she recalls. “But we probably knew every car that went up the road—there were probably 10 cars a day in those days.” Those days were 60, 70 years ago.

Maybe a hundred yards up the hill or so—enough, at least, that the trees are just budding out when things are blooming down below. “This has always been a special spot for me,” said Morrison, looking out over the balcony of her home in Weyyakin toward the barn her family used to own. “As a youngster, I’d come up here and look at all the wildflowers. Once in awhile I would run into a sagehen or deer. I could hike all over the place from here.” Morrison was crowned Sunday as part of the fourth annual Blaine County Heritage Court, a reward for her part in contributing to the life of the valley these past 82 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598552155009-M6MZCEDZF5CE6ZHHG5K6/rose2007.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2007 - Rose Mallory When Rose Mallory thumbs through her family scrapbook, she thumbs through memories of walking along Hailey’s Main Street with sheepherders, using sticks to keep the sheep off residents’ lawns.

And she remembers the sheepherders trailing into her family’s boarding house each winter, eager for a hot bath, followed up with cigars and café royale and a game of mus–a Basque game of cards and bluffing.

She’s seen the old Friedman general store, which had replaced tent stores, give way to Paul’s Market, then Atkinson’s and finally Albertson’s chain supermarket. She’s seen the old Hailey high school go through a couple of reincarnations, the latest a state-of-the-art facility near the mouth of Quigley Canyon. She’s seen the fields that once surrounded Hailey fill up with homes as Hailey’s population has burgeoned to 7,000 residents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598549603415-TF42RR2OHLACF73H3COK/crystal2006.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2006 - Chrystal Harper Chrystal Harper doesn’t need a placard to tell her about many of the items on display in the Bellevue Historical Museum. She donated the antique wood cook stove now sitting in a restored cabin on the property. The gray ruffled wedding dress was her mother Lizzie’s when she married Will Uhrig on July 3, 1890, in Hailey. The butter churn, which Harper still enjoys pumping, was her nephew’s. And she and her brother played with the toy plows, miniature sewing machine and cast iron stove sitting in the display case 94 years ago. Yup, 94 years ago.

Her great uncle Archie Billingsley was among the first white settlers to enter the valley, arriving with a large herd of cattle in 1879 shortly after the Bannock Indian War. And her great aunt Jane Billingsley offered her home as the area’s first schoolhouse until a log schoolhouse with a dirt roof opened the following year. All great fodder for a 77-year-old geneaological buff whose identity is wrapped up as much in her ancestors as her own children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598549864072-JX78X1X6OUOUK47QCKVG/bebe2006.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2006 - Bebe Haemmerle It was her knowledge of German, which she learned growing up in Milwaukee, Wis., that introduced her to the love of her life and the home of her dreams. “I was sitting in the Challenger Inn on vacation and the Austrian ski instructors heard me laughing at the stories they were swapping. They told Florian, ‘That girl speaks German,’ and that was it,” said Haemmerle, 83.

But the world has sure been on the move around her. In her 87 years of living in the Bellevue area, Shoemaker has seen the school house she learned her ABCs torn down to make way for the Bellevue City Park. She’s seen a few cow pastures up north transformed into a world class destination ski resort. And she’s seen fish runs so abundant you could spear the fish nearly disappear. Shoemaker, one of four women named to the 2005 Heritage Court, was born Lula Barker on her family farm between Bellevue and Gannett… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598548945503-412WS8BV9QWF8WVO0AWE/orpha2005.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2005 - orpha smith mecham Orpha Smith Mecham’s stretch way back to B.C. - Before Carey, that is. Her grandparents were the first to settle in the Carey area—back in 1880 when it was a valley of tall thick meadow grass. And Mecham has been in the thick of what’s come since—from the one-room schoolhouses she taught in to the times she and her brothers drove cars between the electric poles strung up down the middle of Carey’s main street as if they were slalom gates. On June 26 Mecham and three other women will be inducted into the Blaine County Heritage Court—a payback for their role in the history of the Wood River Valley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598548017645-IRABDSWVY1OP25F51NPB/anita2005.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2005 - anita gray Anita Gray doesn’t need to stroll down the hallway at the Sun Valley Lodge to check out the pictures of Hollywood celebrities and other legends who frequented Sun Valley during its formative years. She’s got her own pictures. Ernest Hemingway taught her to shoot. Gary Cooper used to come to her home for dinner. And she used to share cocktails with Norma Shearer. “I wasn’t much into the stars—I thought they were fake,” said Gray, now 83. “But Gary Cooper was a darling.

She peeled the bark off logs as she and her husband Van built their home in Ketchum. She rode on a hay rake as she helped clear 350 acres of sagebrush out Croy Canyon. And she endured childbirth with only a hot towel for an anesthetic. “What did we have to holler about? We were happy all our lives. We never had a lot of money, but we never went hungry and we never wore rags,” said McAtee, now 91.

The man didn’t make much of an impression on Heiss. “He was just a man with ski clothes on. And he had skis that were very different from our long wooden hand-me-downs with their elk hide coverings,” said Heiss, her 94-year-old grey eyes sharp as a tack beneath her wispy red hair. “I remember him coming off Dollar Mountain and I couldn’t believe the pretty short turns he could make…” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598397651354-UV25PK3962E21ZZPBI11/bbuhker2004.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2004 - Billie Buhler hasn’t strayed far from her birthplace. Born in a house on Hailey’s Second Avenue, she now lives a few doors down in a tidy unobtrusive home that she and her husband built next to the Ezra Pound house. And, yes, she lived there, too. “The Ezra Pound was about the fourth house we lived in.

Then she turns around 180 degrees and gestures as she scans the houses that sit across Fourth Street and down Poplar Street. “When we moved here, nothing was here but the house my husband grew up in,” she says. “My, how Bellevue has changed.” Indeed, if it weren’t for the bald knobby sagebrush-covered hills that seem to stay the same and the pine-covered outline of Baldy to the north… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598398051420-RHDR3OI1TEM3QDNP53JQ/verda2004.jpg Heritage Court - Heritage Court 2004 - Verda Edwards O’Crowley sighs as her daughter Holly Rivera bursts through the front door with the news that the house on the corner is being demolished to make way for a car wash. The town–pushing 600 people–is getting too danged big, she laments. O’Crowley, 74, can be forgiven for thinking that.

Over the years, it served as a warehouse, a dance hall, opera house, Knights of Labor Hall, and an armory during the Spanish American War. It also held the 1889 Hailey High School graduation ceremonies, with 5 girls graduating. The building was originally built of adobe brick, some of which are still visible through a clear panel on the inside of the museum. In recent years, the Museum renovated and restored the north and south walls for the structural integrity of the building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edec307e32dc704387f0e05/1598473977908-C4A62M63SOM64IRP8CS7/Rebecca%2BCox%2B-%2BAbout%2BUS_Bob%2BMacleod%252C%2BPresident%2BBCHM.jpg About Us - Bob MacLeod President, BCHM Expert player piano player.
