MarchNational Women’s history Month

Our History is Our Strength

The best way to learnto be a lady is to see how

other ladies do it.——————

Mae West

Lisa NyrenTVN Staff

You’ve seen them around, in big cities, in small towns, in your favor-ite restaurants. Ladies with those bright red hats and purple blazers, some adorned with personalized jewelry and other accessories. But who are they? What do they do?

“Anything to have fun,” Teton Valley’s Red Hatters’ Queen Mum Tricia Scalia said. “We’re a friend-ship group for women.”

Teton Valley’s Red Hatters, or Scarlet O’Hatters of the Tetons as they’ve named themselves, have been meeting and having fun for over six years. Scalia started the group when she was at a great milestone in her life.

“I was just turning 50 and I love to dress up and I love to do crazy things with women,” she said. “I just didn’t want to be depressed on my 50th birthday.”

The now international Red Hat Society has been a bright spot in the lives of women 50 and over since 1998. Inspired by a red hat she purchased at a thrift store and a poem, “Warning” by Jenny Joseph, RHS founder Sue Ellen Cooper gave a friend the hat and a copy of the poem, and that friend did the same for another friend, and the Red Hat Society was born.

Now there are over 40,000 RHS chapters worldwide. There’s even a Red Hat Society Day on April 25, the anniversary of the group’s founding.

“Girls just want to have fun,” Scalia said. “That’s the theme.” The Scarlet O’Hatters even have a mascot, a teddy bear that plays the Cyndi Lauper song.

RHS is a group for women age 50 and over. The Scarlet O’Hatters started with just six members and have grown to over 30. Its oldest member, Rusty Anderson, is 83.

As the poem and the bright attire might suggest, RHS is no ordinary club. There are no dues to pay, no rules to follow and no man-datory events. Women just gather together and do whatever suits them. The Scarlet O’Hatters have been to almost every restaurant in town, Scalia said. They’ve also taken trips to see performances at Brigham Young University and taken advantage of the annual local’s special at Spring Creek Resort in Jackson. The group also participates in service projects.

Through all this socializing and recreating, these women form tight bonds. RHSers help each other through good times and bad, through joy and through grief.

These women take their group seriously. Scalia attended a Red

Hat Society convention in Las Vegas where there were over 5,000 women in red hats and purple blaz-ers. (Imagine that the next time you’re strolling down The Strip).

And don’t let the red and purple uniforms fool you. Personal flair such as beads, pins, and sparkly things are encouraged, Scalia said.

“It’s just having fun and chick’n it up.”

Don’t have a red hat? Don’t worry. The Red Hat Society store (redhatsocietystore.com) sells hats, boas, gloves, socks, sunglasses and more, all in red and purple.

Not quite 50? Not a problem. Pink Hatters are members who are under 50. They wear pink and lav-ender.

The Scarlet O’Hatters generally meet once a month. It’s been a great way to bring together women from all walks of life, Scalia said.

“We have women of all back-grounds,” she said. “From retired [women], to school teachers to nurses, it’s just a great diversity as far as backgrounds.”

Any woman is welcome to join the Scarlet O’Hatters. Just call Scalia at (208) 787-2067.

Love and logic philosophy

Women of Teton ValleyOur History is Our Strength

WarningBY JENNY JOSEPH

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple

With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired

And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bellsAnd run my stick along the

public railingsAnd make up for the sobriety

of my youth.I shall go out in my slippers in

the rainAnd pick flowers in other

people’s gardensAnd learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

And eat three pounds of sausages at a go

Or only bread and pickle for a week

And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in

boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry

And pay our rent and not swear in the street

And set a good example for the children.

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprisedWhen suddenly I am old, and

start to wear purple.

Everyone knows Teton Valley is home to strong women, but not everyone knows who they are or how their backgrounds shaped their lives. Philbin de Got Schulz and Kathleen Martin decided to change that just over two years ago, and they continue to find women with great stories and strong ambitions.

“We thought it was just too inter-esting a group to not be able to show them off,” de Got Shulz said of the women in the valley. In addition, when she and Martin started the group they sensed a divide between cultures, something that de Got Shulz surmised was because few people knew each other.

Great Women of Teton Valley is a group that meets once a month, and each meeting features a presentation from a great woman in Teton Valley. De Got Shulz said they have had no trouble find-ing women suitable to be these speakers, and she doesn’t see any decrease

in candidates any time soon.Past presenters include Jane

Linville Weins, a veterinarian; Susan Elrich, founder of the Earthfire Institute; Ruby Parsons, long-time valley resident and fire

commissioner; Sally Mylar of Corner Drug; Etta Rokes, of Sue’s Roos and so many more.

“A lot of people have said to me, ‘I’m so happy you’re doing this,’” said de Got Shulz.

One of the most intriguing things about this group is that the presenters often share stories and accomplish-

ments of things they’ve done that no one knows.

April’s speaker, Rita Johnson, for example, is known for mak-ing leather clothing. She also has other traits, talents and experiences, de Got Shulz said,

including having climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro.

This group and its meetings are nondenominational and wel-come all people.

“Men are very welcome,” de Got Shulz said.

For those who haven’t attend-ed a meeting, “they’re missing out on hearing the adventure of someone else who lives in this valley with us because all these lives are adventures,” de Got Shulz said. “[It’s about] having the opportunity to appreciate someone we haven’t met.”

One of the joys of living in a small town, she said, is that you have the opportunity to really get to know people.

Great Women of Teton Valley meets the first Tuesday of every month at St. Francis church in Alta. The meetings run from 6:30-8 p.m. and light refresh-ments are served.

TeTon Valley’s greaT women grab The spoTlighT

Women’s Book ClubPhyllis LamkenOwner, Dark Horse Books

In October 1998, Nola Bredal told Jeanne Anderson that the valley need-ed a women’s book group. That sug-gestion was the beginning of the Teton Valley Women’s Group. The group has been meeting monthly for 13 years with just the occasional cancellation due to weather. The group has hosted a variety of guest speakers.

Over 120 different women have participated in the book club over the years. While the group shares a love for books, individually they represent a wide variety of reading tastes.

The books, as a group are selected by consensus. Both fiction and non-fiction titles are read and discussed. Recently, the group has read the non-fiction, “Infidel” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali and the novel, “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand” by Helen Simonson. Both books generated spirited and robust discus-sion, especially the books’ perspective on modern Muslims.

The diversity of women at these meetings, who represent a wide spectrum of ages, occupations, back-grounds, and experiences, greatly enriches the discussion. Currently, the group meets the first Monday of every month at 7 p.m. at Dark Horse Books. The book group has an online presence on Facebook. The list of books select-ed by the book group is available on the Dark Horse Books blog, darkhorse-books.wordpress.com. This is an open book club and everyone is welcome. The next meeting will be April 4 to dis-cuss “Love in the Time of Cholera” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

From political activist to sensitive landscape painter, Anne Callison lives life with passion.

"I'm a political animal,” she said. “I worked political campaigns most of my early life, and because I'm a taxpayer, I'm a real stickler for transparency and a good govern-ment, and I tend to speak up when I don't see it."

Callison said people are "being taxed to death" today.

"When taxes are as high as they are today, it is incumbent on all of us to find out how that money's being spent," she said.

Callison said she was born a Democrat, but switched affiliations because of policies she found oner-ous during Jimmy Carter's presi-dency.

"I'm a Republican, and I par-ticipate with the Tea Party here,"

she said. "But I participate in a Tea Party that is solely about fiscal responsibility and good govern-ment."

Callison said there are wild ele-ments in every group, and "I don't support some of the extreme sides of the Tea Party. I believe in com-mon sense and good faith, honor-able efforts.

"I'm a fiscal conservative, I'm not a liberal by any stretch of the imagina-tion, and I think there's room for tough love in society and less people not work[ing] as hard as the rest of us."

She sees the need to cost things all the way out from start to finish. An example she gave is with nuclear power.

"Once that spent fuel rod is finished, that's where the utility cost stops and the government picks it up. That's wrong. That means that cost is shifted onto the taxpayers."

This, she said, is also where envi-ronmentalists go wrong, because they're so strident about getting rid of coal, but they don't figure out the cost for all other energies.

Callison, who lives with her hus-

band, Mac, in Tetonia, has earned degrees in business and urban stud-ies with graduate work in marketing and research and public policy.

"I've done everything from being a regional planner to corporate public relations and marketing and nonprofit marketing," she said.

The Callisons came to the Teton Valley for the first time to ski in

1983."We kept

coming back, and bought a piece of prop-erty here," she said.

They built a house in Tetonia, have celebrated their 29th anniver-sary, and plan to retire here, she said.

They'll be the first and last generation of her family to settle here, she said. The couple has no children, and Anne is the

only one of her siblings not still liv-ing in her native Virginia.

Callison paints Western land-scapes and landscapes from Scotland — where she still has rela-tives — primarily in acrylics, but also in oils and watercolors in her studio, and dabbles in photography. She shows her work with the Teton Arts Council, where she is workshop

coordinator, as well as in shows with art guilds in Denver, Castle Rock and Littleton, Colo.

"So many things inspire me," she said. "Good friends make me happy, and we love sunsets. I'm also a pretty good cook. My hus-band describes most of my meals as restaurant quality."

Callison said she won first place in the MD Nursery Idaho Potato Cook-off the last two years it was run. Sunset Magazine has published two of her original recipes.

She also gardens incessantly, and builds rock walls. She attributes the latter to her Scottish heritage.

"I have built probably 200 linear feet of Scottish stack walls at my house," she said, along with help from Roger Kaufman and his front-end loader.

She grows perennials and toma-toes from seed. They built two "huge" raised beds last summer. She used to can and freeze a lot and may get back into that. The secret to growing here, she said, is creating a microclimate. She has a walkout basement with a west-fac-ing wall that almost encloses her raised beds, which really help "until you get a freeze."

She's also working on three movie scripts based around World War II and pre-war events. She's done "endless research" into vari-ous archives and museums and the Scottish connection to the war.

There’s no denying womens’ intuition, but sometimes they need a little help listening to their own bodies. That’s one of the benefits of massage, said Felicia Banks.

Banks is one of the valley’s new-est massage therapists and said a massage can bring out the goddess in all women. Staying in tune with your body helps you realize when it’s missing something or is keeping you from feeling your best.

“Sometimes our body isn’t being heard,” she said. “A massage can help you with that bond to your body.”

Banks said she’s had several clients who didn’t even know something was wrong until they got on the table and she started work-ing on them.

Some of the benefits she listed were the relief of muscle tension, relief of stress and balance. It also boosts confidence.

“It teaches you how to dance with your own soul,” she said.

Banks says massage is a good way to boost oxytocin levels. It’s the hormone that helps people relax and promotes growth and healing. It also just makes people feel good.

Banks has been learning and

practicing natural medicine for about nine years, working with aro-matherapy and medicinal use of plants. She was born and raised in Idaho Falls and moved to the Valley this fall. She completed schooling for massage therapy in June from the College of Massage Therapy in

Blackfoot. She said she always had an interest in massage. Banks has a twin sis-ter and she said they used to massage each other when they were younger to help them fall asleep.

Banks runs her own business, Indigo Natural Healing and Massage. She makes her own lotions, sprays and candles.

She offers aromatherapy massages with her own blends of essential oils.

Banks said she could specialize any massage to your own body’s needs. She said she could tell by the way people react how intense or deep to go with a massage.

Indigo Natural Healing is located at 535 Howard Street in Driggs. To inquire or make an appointment call (208) 360-6258.

As principal of Harmony Design and Engineering in Driggs, Jennifer Zung’s name is followed by a virtual alphabet soup of professional quali-fications.

Her email signature is followed by PE, CFM, and LEED AP.

She’s a professional civil engi-neer registered in Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado, and a Certified Floodplain Manager, which means she’s well versed in flood-insurance programs and how to administer and man-age flood plains.

Zung is also a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional. LEED, a program of the U.S. Green Building Council, certifies projects based on environmentally-sound building prac-tices that use energy and materials with a focus on efficiency, minimum use and maximum energy savings in their design.

“The philosophy for all our devel-opment projects is to design them to integrate with our natural envi-ronment, our natural surroundings,” Zung said. “Whether our projects are going to be LEED certified or

not, we try to use the same prin-ciples.”

During land-development proj-ects — which are anything but plentiful right now — Zung and her team analyze sites to take advan-tage of wind or solar energy, and preserve views and locations onsite that are environmentally sensitive; such as habitat and wetlands.

For example, she said, Zung worked on 100 N. Ecopark, which was a proposed pilot project for LEED for neighborhood develop-ment.

Zung and her colleagues worked with an architect and incorporated areas for shared geo-thermal fields and oriented lots to take advantage of passive solar energy. But, as with many projects countywide, this one is on indefinite hold.

She also worked on the design of the new Teton Valley Community School

building in Victor, for which funds are currently being raised, she said.

LEED certification won’t be sought for this project due to the added cost, but Harmony and “everyone involved is trying to make it as energy-efficient as pos-sible,” she said, and is looking to incorporate recycled materials.

Her husband and business part-ner Randy Blough, a landscape architect, designs water-wise land-scape and efficient irrigation sys-tems.

She and her Harmony colleagues design regional projects, including a master plan for a business park in McCall and projects in Hailey that helped them with an Idaho Department of Commerce block grant.

She’s working on a Snake River project, to help develop a risk map for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which updates hazard maps to include flood-plain hazards in addition to earthquake and mudslide hazards.

“We’re doing surveys in conjunc-tion with another engineer, “ she said, and Harmony is a sub-con-sultant in a joint venture known as STARR (Strategic Alliance for Risk Reduction).

Harmony is also working with Teton County, Idaho doing hydrau-lic and hydrologic analysis on Badger Creek bridge redesign to replace bridges, and on map revi-sions on Teton Creek.

Zung moved to the valley in 2003. She grew up in Missouri and did graduate work at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. She worked for a consulting firm there for about seven years before doing a two-year stint with the Peace Corps.

She spent some time in the

Philippines before coming to the valley.

“I had some friends living here, and I was looking for a smaller town than living along the front range, something a little bit slower paced,” she said. “I fell in love with the mountains and made fast friends here.”

Zung is on the board of direc-tors of Teton Valley Community Recycling and was involved with its recently-completed Trash Bash fundraiser. She and Blough helped organize the inaugural Alta Skate Race with Teton Valley Trails and Pathways, where she was the race director.

Recreationally, she’s an avid skier, hiker and mountain biker. She’s also getting more involved with yoga.

“Every day is a new day, and it’s kind of exciting,” she said. “You never know what’s going to hap-pen. It’s fun to see what life brings, and welcome it all.”

In her business, she relishes the opportunities to facilitate projects, especially when it comes to consen-sus building.

“I’ve found that I really enjoy doing that, and it comes naturally to me,” she said. “It’s fun to see a project bring a community togeth-er.”

(ARA) It's freezing outside and you're happily bundled up in the trendy sweaters you've just purchased for winter. So it's too soon to be thinking about spring, right? Not according to Courtney Hammonds, faculty member in fash-ion and retail management at The Art Institute of Atlanta-Decatur.

"While winter 2011 hasn't even officially ended, we're already look-ing beyond it to spring and summer 2011," Hammonds says. "What can we look forward to?"

Fashion is about new looks, new combinations, new takes on older trends. Spring 2011 is no differ-ent, Hammonds says. One website he particularly likes to look at for fashion trends is fashionising.com, which points to nine major trends we are sure to see.

Here are some tips for this sea-son:

Biker Chic. The military look — a mainstay for the last decade — is

out. The biker look is in. You'll see the motorcycle jacket, in silver or traditional black, with silver zippers, even quilted. And, borrowing from the style, a motorcycle skirt. And don't forget motorcycle boots.

The return of the Maxi Dress (yes, down to the ankles). And sheer this time around.

Lots of lace. Lace this spring will be on the classic side with quality antique lace fabrics, and less of the stretch and/or allover lace look.

Silhouettes of the 1950s and 1960s. The influence of "Mad Men" continues. This era's flattering full skirts and narrow waists along with the hip-hugging sheath dresses predominate.

Tassels. A simple little decoration with thousands of years behind it.

Remember kitten heels from the '60s? Jackie Kennedy and Coco Chanel wore them for a classy look. They're the perfect accompaniment to '50s and '60s silhouettes.

Increasing the current tobacco tax by $1.25 will help relieve taxpayers of the $539 annual burden every household now pays for tobacco related health costs and keep kids from smoking.
