BY KAREN BOSSICKA girl reading a book in the mountains above a house made of a book and a paddler in a lake ringed by deer, foxes, a river, trees and flowers has begun making the rounds of the Wood River Valley, courtesy of The Community Library’s new state-of-the-art Bookmobile. The whimsical bookmobile will be active year-round, instead of just during the summer. And it will be seen at various community events.

BY KAREN BOSSICKWhen Adrienne Haan first began making historic presentations about the so-called Degenerate Music of Nazi Germany, she thought of her lectures as an interesting facet of history no one knew about. Never did the award-winning singer, who performed at The Argyros last year, think she would be using the presentations as a cautionary tale. She’ll be doing just that when she presents “Degenerate Music” at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday June 17, at Ketchum’s Community Library.

BY KAREN BOSSICKMatthew Krumwiede’s life was changed forever on June 12, 2012, when he stepped on an IED as his patrol was attacked in the Kandahar Province of Afghanistan. He lost both legs above the knee and suffered injuries to his left arm and hand and his abdomen. On Thursday—13 years to the day of his accident—Krumwiede gladly embraced another life-changing experience when he was given--not the keys--but the iPad to a mortgage-free Specially Adapted Smart Technology Home.
