Here Comes The Sun Ice sculptor extraordinaire Mark Sheehan, of Bellevue, roughs out his ?Sun Valley Sun? logo in front of the Sun Valley Lodge with his chain saw Monday. Sheehan, who has created this trademark sculpture every year since 1985, except for two low-snow years, uses slush to provide the finishing touches. Sun Valley is exhibiting other ice sculptures on the village grounds around the lodge made by Danny Spangler, of McCall. Photo by Willy Cook
