Informant! The Informant!

Copyright ©Warner Bros Pictures

What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Whitacre suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company’s multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion. But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent. Unfortunately for the FBI, their lead witness hasn’t been quite so forthcoming about helping himself to the corporate coffers. Whitacre’s ever-changing account frustrates the agents and threatens the case against ADM as it becomes almost impossible to decipher what is real and what is the product of Whitacre’s rambling imagination. The film is based on the true story of the highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in U.S. history.

Sun Valley Announces Plan for River Run Development & Annexation

River Run: A New Neighborhood in Ketchum

Linking mountain recreation, river ecology and downtown Ketchum

 

Located at the base of the River Run ski lift and gondola, the 140-acre River Run project will transform Sun Valley’s Bald Mountain ski area and link together this incredible mountain recreation resource, the scenic Big Wood River, and downtown Ketchum.

A new pedestrian plaza will form the heart of the new neighborhood, surrounded by a landmark hotel. Beyond the hotel core the plan contains a variety of residences and the Wood River Ecological Park – all connected to Ketchum via transit, pedestrian linkages and a potential future community connector rail system or gondola.

Sun Valley Company and its advisory partners, East West Partners and Design Workshop, have submitted to the City of Ketchum an application for annexation and zoning for River Run. The City is currently reviewing the proposed plan.

This City annexation and zoning process is the crucial first step to making the vision of River Run a reality. The components and benefits of the River Run project will be constructed over many years as market and economic conditions allow. Upon completion, River Run will be a vibrant new neighborhood connecting Ketchum to the ski mountain and containing numerous public benefits.
