Order ‘12InAngryThe Court Jurors’
BY YANNA LANTZ
O
rder! The Community School Players will present “12 Angry Jurors” in the Community School Theatre from Mar. 10-12. All shows begin promptly at 7 p.m. Community School Upper School drama teachers and Actors’ Equity Association members, Patsy Wygle and Keith Moore, will direct the production. “12 Angry Jurors” will be the pair’s eighth Community
School show, but their first Upper School venture into the world of serious drama. “Based on Reginald Rose’s award-winning 1954 television play, ‘12 Angry Men,’ the drama has been updated to include both men and women,” stated a Community School press release. Fifteen Upper School male and female students will be featured in the courtroom drama. Cast members include Samie Bunting, Tara
Burchmore, Isabelle Caraluzzi, Pierson Carlsen, Carolina Garrido, Hayes Gilman, Cutter Grathwohl, Alex Harten, Evan Marks, Landon Schley, Meredith Vandebunte, Keegan Whitelaw, Kristian Whittaker, Colby Wright and Anik Zarkos. “The kids are ready for this challenge and very excited about exploring this piece,” co-director Moore said. Rose’s drama, “12 Angry Men,” was first broadcast as a 60-minute
black-and-white teleplay on September 20, 1954. It premiered on the Emmy Award-winning “Studio One” series on CBS. “12 Angry Men” collected three Emmy Awards in 1955 for the 1954 broadcast, including awards for “Best Written Dramatic Material,” “Best Direction” and “Best Actor in a Single Performance.” Franklin Schaffner directed the program and Robert Cummings won the act-

T
he Sun Valley Film Festival (SVFF) begins today and runs through Sunday, March 8. In its fourth year, the festival now runs five days with a full schedule of films, panels, concerts and an awards ceremony. Of all the notables converging on the Valley this week, the festival also features several student works produced in the Wood River Valley. Films from Wood River High School, The Sage School and Community School have contributed 13 films to be screened. Media lab teacher Peter Burke advised 39 students in the production of “Sun Valley Serenade: A 10-Minute Remake.” Fox Studios produced “Sun Valley Serenade” in 1941 during the resort’s golden days. Starting this past September, the students analyzed the film, distilled it to essential plot points, filmed and edited the production. “Through the medium, this project forced the kids to analyzed what’s changed about this Valley,” Burke said. “It allowed them to update a piece of history and make a modern-day version of their home.” The student films will be screened on Saturday, March 7 in The Liberty Theatre in Hailey at 4 p.m. as a part of the Future Filmmakers Forum. Besides students in the Valley, National Geographic also is featuring three student films as finalists for its WILD to INSPIRE film competition. In

addition to supporting youth, National Geographic will be having world premieres of its own: “Killing Jesus,” “Hubble Cosmic Journey” and “Nat Geo WILD’s Secret Garden.” During Sunday’s award bash, the SVFF will honor actor Clint Eastwood with the inaugural Lifetime Vision Award. “As a small, burgeoning film festival, we feel very fortunate to have an icon to be accepting our Lifetime Vision Award,” said Teddy Grennan, executive director of the SVFF. Eastwood started acting in film in 1955 at 25 years old. Eastwood’s work on the show “Rawhide” led to his role as the man with no name in Sergio Leone’s “Dollars Trilogy” and catapulted him into a successful career in Hollywood. Eastwood has also had a hand in directing, producing and composing. This year, Eastwood received nominations for best picture by both the Academy Awards and the Oscars for directing “American Sniper.” “We are so thrilled to be honoring him this Saturday,” said Grennan. “We got d*mn lucky!” In an initiative to showcase Idaho’s potential for film, the SVFF held the One Potato Short Screenplay Competition. The winner will receive a $2,500 prize for their production. “We want to bring the industry to explore Idaho. It would be a huge economic growth spurt to have a TV show or movie shot here,” Grennan said. “It truly is the Gem State.”

N
ina Jonas is the 12th elected mayor of Ketchum in its more than 130-year history. She is the first female to hold that office and she won the election last fall against the incumbent by an overwhelming margin, 851 to 429. On January 6, 2015, Jonas was sworn in at City Hall by the man she defeated and a full house gave her a standing ovation. Ketchum was ready for Jonas, and vice-versa. A fourth-generation Ketchum native from a wellknown family, Jonas is the highest paid mayor in the Wood River Valley, earning $37,454 a year. Hailey Mayor Fritz Haemmerle is paid $19,080. Bellevue Mayor Chris Koch makes just under $3,000, and Randy Patterson, Carey’s mayor, like all Carey city employees, is part-time and paid hourly, not by salary. Jonas is the daughter of Bob Jonas, who founded Sun Valley Trekking and worked as a salmon fishery biologist in Alaska and Greenland and as a schoolteacher in Idaho. She grew up skiing and hiking, exploring the mountains around Ketchum and helping her dad construct and dismantle the Sun Valley Trekking yurts each year; that is, she grew up with an appreciation for the environment, the recreational lifestyle that characterizes the Wood River Valley, entrepreneurship and family ~ an upbringing she refers to as “the best base camp.” Ann Christensen and Ruth Lieder are two mentors and role models Jonas credits with having a deep influence on her
thinking and development as a young woman. Christensen and her late husband Doug were the first recipients of the Light on the Mountains Spiritual Center’s annual Humanitarian Award, which bears their name. Christensen is a well-known environmental advocate, conservationist and teacher of Wood River Valley youth about local flora and fauna. Lieder is the ex-mayor of Sun Valley, the first female mayor in the Wood River Valley. Both Lieder and Christensen were both graduates of Smith College in Massachusetts and influenced Jonas to attend Smith and earn a degree in economics and art history, including time at the London School of Economics. Jonas was elected to the Ketchum City Council in 2009 where she “…cultivated her expertise and furthered her passion for government, which led her to pursue a leadership role as the City’s mayor.” In that position, she intends to pursue agendas that involve citizens’ initiatives and long-term planning in the spirit of “think globally, act locally,” which encourages each individual and every community to consider the long-term health of the entire planet in every action. “We need year-round citizens to maintain a community,” Jonas said, “and for that we need jobs.” The recent move out of Ketchum of ESS, Smith and Scott was a big loss, and Jonas sees opportunity for the community in the tech industry, exemplified by the upcoming Dent (as in denting the universe) conference, which will be held in Sun Valley later this month. tws

Music To Tell The Tale
To be released March 14, the album “Far From Here” is Andrew Sheppard’s first solo recording. Photo by Tal Roberts BY P.M. FADDEN
A
head of him, Ketchum native Andrew Sheppard sees a wide road. To Sheppard, that long straight strip beaming to the horizon represents both a literal and musical marker ~ where he has come from and to where he may yet go. “We’ve recorded an album that’s inspired by and written on the open trail,” Sheppard said. The self-release, titled “Far From Here,” launches March 14 and chronicles the winding odyssey of Sheppard and his faithful Australian shepherd dog while circumnavigating the U.S. The congruent 11-track “Far From Here” is described by Sheppard as “a startto-end musical experience.” “Quality music tells a true story, something alive and beating,” Sheppard said. “I think we’ve accomplished that here.” Described as “country soul rock ‘n roll,” the album was recorded in Los Angeles over a period of eight days, thanks to the diligence and talent of each of the band’s members: Wes Walsworth, electric guitar/producer; Drew Tomseth, drums; Dustin Bradley and Nic Archibald,
bassists, with Archibald also on upright electric; Cole Wells, pedal steel; and Sheppard, lead/ vocals. All members contribute to the sound found “Far From Here.” “The band is all-Idaho,” said Sheppard and Tomseth while discussing the band’s roots and record release plans. Sheppard and Tomseth recall early musical roots that kept the band close while allowing for individual musical expansion and growth. The resulting album, “Far From Here,” is influenced by a broad spectrum of life experiences and musical tastes. “We are basically drawn to anything that tells a story,” said Sheppard and Tomseth. “Our sound has been influenced by soul music and artists like Sam Cook and Hank Ballard, to name only two. Punk has also influenced our music; playing that genre allows for a lot of artistic freedom.” Sheppard intends to release “Far From Here” Wood River style, with a local release celebration that honors the band’s Idaho roots. “And we’ll be looking forward to heavy touring with the arrival of summer,” Sheppard said. “We’ll be supporting the
album launch with performances in Stanley on March 14 and Treefort Music Fest in Boise on March 29. “First and foremost, we always want to be playing music,” agreed Sheppard and Tomseth. “We wish to maintain creative control as artists and be able to play for the type venues where our audiences can interact organically with our music. We’re proud to be self-sustaining; that allowed us to make the record we truly set out to create. “There’s an exact formula at work in today’s music industry and we want to avoid that,” said Sheppard and Tomseth. “Hopefully, in the future, we can form our own label, something that keeps the creativity going.” Information on Andrew Sheppard music can be found via online resources such as iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp and Face Camp. The band is also proud to be releasing vinyl copies of “Far From Here.” Each record will be sold with a digital download card attached. “The most important element was in actually making the record,” Sheppard said. “That was the most fun of all.” tws

Calling Visual Artists Third annual Wood River Valley Studio Tour
BY YANNA LANTZ
F
ounded in 2013, the Wood River Valley Studio Tour is a non-profit organization that celebrates the artistic talent of the local Valley. For the third annual Studio Tour, visual artists from Bellevue, Hailey, Ketchum, Sun Valley and the surrounding areas are encouraged to respond to the Call For Artists and join the annual exploration of local artist studios. The tour aims to connect artists and art lovers through opening the doors of participating artists’ studios and building a sense of comradery for those involved. “I’ve gained a greater appreciation for the works and artists in our Valley through this tour,” Suzanne Hazlett said, President and Co-Founder for WRV Studio Tour, Inc. Registration for artists began Mar. 1 and will continue through Mar. 31 with an application fee of $100. Beginning Apr. 1, the fee increases to $150, but allows artists to apply through May 15. An artist’s registration fee will be waived for any artist who secures a corporate or individual sponsor donation, payable to WRV Studio Tour, Inc., that is at least $500. Sponsor information packets are available upon request. WRV Studio Tour, Inc. will receive no commission or percentage of studio sales during the tour. To qualify for participation, applicants must maintain a working art studio located within the Wood River Valley and are expected to have completed a body of work that represents a cohesive, visual art form with professional execution. WRV Studio Tour, Inc. defines the visual arts as primarily visual in nature, including but not limited to ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, textiles, fiber art and fine woodworking. Artists are invited to complete and submit a WRV Studio Tour Artist Application on-line at www.wrvstudiotour. org. “Participating artists commit to opening their studios during the tour to welcome art patrons, admirers and collectors while they venture out on self-guided tours to meet and interact with the valley’s artists, observe the creative process and purchase art,” stated a release from WRV Studio Tour, Inc. A three-part Artist Education Series, aimed to facilitate the sharing of industry and marketing knowledge and to foster relationships between the artists of the Wood River Valley, will take place in the months prior to the tour. The first workshop in the series will take place Mar. 17 at 5:30 p.m. at the Community Library in Ketchum with Karen Bubb from Boise. “She will talk to artists about the process for arts submitting applications for public art installations,” said Hazlett. The next event will take place at the Friesen Gallery in April on the topic of pursuing gallery representation. The final workshop will take place in May at The Sun Valley Center for the Arts in Ketchum to help artists
craft their artist statement and maximize their resume’s impact. Participating artists are asked to donate a piece of artwork to include in the Mosaic Project, which will be publicly displayed July 3-12. Each artist will be provided a panel and is asked to create an original work, which will be incorporated into a mosaic installation. “The visual result will be a stunning work of art that represents the valley’s community of artists, advertises the event to potential participants and creates additional excitement about the artists featured,” stated the release. On Friday, Aug. 21, a reception with the participating artists will take place and one work of art from each artist will be displayed. All are invited to celebrate the event.

ing award for his passionate portrayal of Juror #8. In 1955, the teleplay was rewritten for the stage under the same title. The drama, which Community School will present as “12 Angry Jurors,” is set in a 1950’s jury room, where 12 jurors are deliberating on a homicide trial. The three-act play opens with the Judge charging the jury with their instructions and reminding them
that the verdict must be unanimous. The Judge also states, “I urge you to deliberate honestly and thoughtfully.” Starting with a near unanimous verdict of guilty and a single juror arguing for “reasonable doubt,” the action of the play centers on the opinions and rationality of 12 extremely diverse characters. “They are tasked with pronouncing the guilt
or innocence of a young man accused of homicide, ultimately determining his life or death,” stated the release. Tickets for “12 Angry Jurors” are $5 for students and $10 for adults. The Community School Theatre is located on Community School campus: 1 Community School Dr., Sun Valley. For more information about the production, call 208622-3955. tws

ki resorts depend on snow in the winter, and when Mother Nature doesn’t come through, it can become quite a gloomy outlook for the season. The snow, as some locals say, “comes from the hoses and not the heavens.” Thankfully, the Sun Valley Resort has one of the best state-of-the-art snowmaking systems in the world that keeps the mountain in the best shape possible. Sun Valley received early snow this winter but, like much of the West, it hasn’t seen a lot of precipitation throughout January and February. The good news is that the Sun Valley Resort snowmaking system can and has created a good base that will optimistically keep the mountain open until April. The Resort offers free snowmaking tours throughout February. Tour guide Dennis Harper, head of snowmaking, has been with the Sun Valley Company for 16 years. “In the 16 years that I’ve been here, snowmaking has advanced and become much more efficient,” Harper said. When Harper first arrived on the
T H E W E E K LY S U N •
scene 16 years ago, he along with his team put in the bases for the then new Borax snow gun towers. In the last couple of years, Sun Valley has purchased some new, low-energy guns called the Rubis guns. They have installed 47 of these guns, which have proven to be very valuable in that they use very little energy. “The way I like to explain the Borax versus the Rubis is like this ~ essentially, you get 17 times the production versus the old gun, and the old gun isn’t that old,” Harper said. “There are 555 automatic snow guns on the mountain, and 110 weather stations, or about one weather station for about every five guns. These stations give the snowmaking team the temperature and the humidity and calculates a wet temperature, which is what the computer uses. The weather stations look like little white birdhouses.” Harper also commented on the weather conditions needed for optimal snowmaking. “It needs to be a certain temperature and humidity to make snow, but that varies with the weather,” he said. “The colder the better. You can make a lot of snow between the 18-to-25-degree range.”
MARCH 4, 2015
After creating a good base, it’s Harper and grooming manager Kerry O’Brien who decide where they make snow. It’s a team effort, with many people involved to get the mountain in the best possible shape imaginable. It’s this team, along with the snowmaking system, all run by a main computer, that have all the information needed to calculate and generate the most snow with the greatest efficiency. tws

The wave-making AC/DC tribute band Hell’s Belles will provide blistering rock with a live performance at Whiskey Jacques’ on Friday, March 6. The all-female Hell’s Belles has received previous high praise from AC/DC’s Angus Young, who referenced Hell’s Belles in a 2003 Blender interview as among the most impressive tribute performers of his band’s work. “The best AC/DC cover I’ve heard? There was an allgirl band in America, Hell’s Belles,” Young said. First formed in 2000, the fanatical five-member rock powerhouse has accrued a legacy of epic evenings from the far shores of Japan to the high peaks of Alaska and all points in between. “There’s not a Hell’s Belles audience that hasn’t been blown away by the raw power, attention to AC/DC details and undeniable appeal that these badass belles deliver with undying devotion,” stated a band spokesperson. Hell’s Belles includes rock-solid Mandy Reed on bass, dreadlocked lovely Adrian Connor on lead guitar, the smoothly grooved Lisa Brisbois on rhythm guitar, Laura D as drum major and Aussie transplant Amber Saxon setting fires with her serenading vocals. Sharon Needles of Betty Blowtorch and Bliss is also expected to appear alongside The Belles for a selection of 2015 tour dates. “This is what we all have in common,” the Belles stated. “We are all part of a huge community of devotees to
one of the greatest rock and roll bands in the world.” The Belles are proud to represent, through their music and their leadership, a rising tide of un-intimidate-able females. Fans of Hell’s Belles are said to be legion; they are encouraged to “stand up and be counted.” The Belles actively support collaboration projects with other female musicians as well as like-spirited causes with the aim of equalizing the so-called “gender scales.” These ladies of rock pack a serious punch with backline artillery that lets the house know that Hell’s Belles means business. “We love playing some of the best rock and roll ever. It’s an honor to have this opportunity to share that with other people,” said Adrian Conner, lead guitar for The Belles. The band set down their own studio recording of “We Salute You” in 2005, while additional tracks are also slated for recording so that Belles’ fans might take a piece of their beloved performers home with them after the show. A performance by The Belles is professed to leave it all on the stage, while leaving the audience craving more. Whiskey Jacques’ intends to light the wick on this incoming stick of dynamite at 9 p.m., with the ladies of rock to take the stage soon after. Venue staff expects a packed house for the show. Advanced ticket purchases are available online for $12 or $15 over the bar at show time. “Hell’s Belles equals a high-octane, fun, sweaty, leave-your-hard-day-at-thedoor, rockin’ good time,” said Belles’ bassist, Mandy Reed.

Portrait of Congressman Raúl Labrador. Photo courtesy of Dan Popkey
An American politician “With a small group that is able to work on issues that are of importance to our constituents, we can make a difference. We can keep Congress honest with the American people.” Raúl Labrador
Congressman
ongressman Raúl Labrador was in Boise last month during a scheduled recess for the House of Representatives. The day before we met, he had toured Mountain Home Air Force Base with Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James. At center stage was the proposed early retirement, due to budget concerns, of the A-10 Thunderbolt ~ an action that would leave the Idaho Air National Guard without a flying mission. The Idaho Air National Guard is near the top of the list for bases considered for the longdelayed F-35 fighters, but it may take time. According to Labrador, the A-10 is going to be retired. The question is, when. “We are telling the Air Force secretary that until it is time to start

retiring them, we have a great place in Idaho for the A-10 to fulfill its mission,” Labrador said. “We are encouraging the Air Force to slow down the retirement even though we all understand that eventually it will happen.” On his third term as Representative for the First District on Capitol Hill, Labrador is a busy man. That morning, Feb. 19, his office was teaming with members of his constituency. At 48 and with a family of five children ranging in age from 12 to 22, the Eagle resident is almost a decade younger than the average member of the House. In a recent campaign for re-election, his opponent insinuated that he was not an American because he was born in Puerto Rico. His Hispanic name and upbringing could lead to confusion, but what many don’t take into account is that Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States and people born there are natural-born U.S. citizens. Nobody from Puerto Rico has ever run for the presidency but, in 2013, during a hearing of a subpanel of the House Appropriations Committee, Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer seemed to indicate that a U.S. citizen born in Puerto Rico could be eligible. Labrador credits his late mother, Ana Pastor, for being his early inspiration. “She was a wonderful, brilliant woman and the best mother any child could have,” he said. The family lived close to the beach resorts where Mrs. Pastor, a single parent, worked in the hotel industry and was involved in the political life of the island. “There were always political meetings at my house, usually revolving around issues of possible statehood,” Labrador recalled, “and that is how I became interested in politics.” Labrador’s mother was also a fan of JFK. “She taught me that my first responsibility was to go to school, study, work hard and become something of myself but, once I became successful,

to serve others and somehow participate in making their lives better,” he said. “She thought the Kennedys exemplified that. Ironically, she was a Democrat who was antistatehood and I became a Republican who is prostatehood.” Believing that her son needed to learn discipline, Mrs. Pastor placed him in a military school for four years and, although most people in Puerto Rico speak English, she later enrolled him in a bilingual school so that his English skills could improve. When Labrador was 13, the family moved to Las Vegas. Mrs. Pastor continued working fulltime in the hotel industry while going to school to earn a degree in education. At about that time, Labrador joined the LDS faith, taking part in their mentor program. “My mother understood that there were things that she couldn’t provide for me,” Labrador said. “She knew I needed male mentors in my life. In Las Vegas, I had two male mentors. The first one was my Scoutmaster, who was not a wealthy man but gave a lot of his time to people (in need), like me. The second one was my bishop, who became my personal friend and, frankly, a man who changed my life. He had a scholarship for young disadvantaged students and that is how I was able to go to college.” When asked if it was hard to do what people in his district demanded versus what he personally believed was right, he said that he has always been transparent. “I tell my constituency what I’m going to do,” Labrador said. “Even when they disagree with me they know that I follow my conscious, the dictates of my heart, and I do what I said I would do.” He added that some politicians make a lot of promises, but when they get to Washington, they get enamored with the magic of the place and allow themselves to be influenced by interest groups. Reflecting on his future in politics, he said, “There are a lot of opportunities
out there but I’m going to take things one step at the time. My next job is to do my job well and to the best of my abilities.” As a founding member of the newly formed House Freedom Caucus, a group that plans to advance a conservative agenda of limited, constitutional government in Congress, Labrador expects to make a difference for people back home. He says that the Freedom Caucus aims at giving a voice to people who feel that Washington does not represent them. “With a small group that is able to work on issues that are of importance to our constituents, we can make a difference. We can keep Congress honest with the American people.” Regarding education, Labrador notes that the go-on [to college] rate is so low in Idaho and that the state is one of the bottom 10 states for students completing a four-year college degree. He wants our educational system to encourage those who want to go on to college to attend, helping them graduate, but also give more opportunities to
our tax structure more competitive. We also need to go out and promote our state. A lot of people are not familiar with Idaho; they don’t realize what a wonderful place to live this is, but right now this is known as a place for low-wage jobs. We need to promote high-tech industries to come to Idaho. I think that is the future of our state. We can become a hub for the hightech community and really grow the economy.” Labrador has been a key figure in working toward a solution on the immigration issue. On Feb. 16, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen of Texas ruled that the referred deportation program initiated by President Obama in November of 2014 should not move forward while a pending lawsuit challenging it, filed by 26 states, was being decided. On Feb. 20, the Obama Administration announced that it would seek an emergency court order to move forward with the President’s executive action on immigration, seeking what is known as an emergency stay. If
fixing our broken system. That is why we have so many illegals here...It is not fair to the American people or the people who have done it the right way to go outside of the constitution and to do what the president did…I’m glad the judge ruled the way he did and now it is up to us in Congress to fix the problem.” Labrador was sure that nothing would be resolved this year. “I think if we get the President’s unconstitutional and illegal actions out of the way, in the next two to four years we will be able to fix the problems we have with our immigration system.” Poll numbers for the last election suggest that most people in his district believe that Raúl Labrador is a dutiful politician but, above all, he is a family man. He has been criticized for missing votes in Congress in order to attend to family matters. “My family comes first,” he said. “My children and my wife are my inspiration.” Ana Maria Cuneo is an

those students who want to go to a trade school. Labrador blames our high tax base for the fact that Idaho is not attracting industries that could provide better paying jobs. “We need to flatten our tax rate, and that would make us more attractive for companies to come,” Labrador said. “This is a great place to raise a family, but Utah, eastern Oregon and eastern Washington are also good places; we are competing with all these areas, so we need to make

successful, that would essentially undo Judge Hanen’s rule. “The President’s actions were unconstitutional and illegal,” Labrador said. “He should have waited for us to do something in Congress. We need to put the American people and the people who are here legally first, before we start talking about what we do with the people who are here illegally. That is the problem with this president: he is putting the illegal people ahead of T H E W E E K LY S U N •

Fishing R eport THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR MARCH 4 FROM PICABO ANGLER
M
arch is here! The No. 1 month for catch rates is upon us! With a week of sunny days forecast, we should have some excellent fishing under bright blue Sun Valley skies. Expect great hatches and lots of fish filling up on whatever they can find before the spawning season of April and May. We made it to the South Fork of the Boise River the past few weekends. Despite great weather, the fishing was just so-so. The best action came at the mouths of creeks and the tops of side channels where pre-spawn activity was enough to get some big fish to let their guards down. Midges and a few Baetis were present, but the Copper John was the fly most fish got caught on. We had some luck with Girdle Bugs and Zebra Nymphs, as well. The Big Wood continues to fish well, with the Midge being the main fare and a few Little Black Stoneflies also contributing to the trouts’ food source! Plan on Nymphing early in the day and fishing dry flies by lunchtime. If you fish the dry, a Trailing Shuck Midge fished behind a Griffiths Gnat is still our favorite winter setup. With blue skies forecast the rest of the week, plan on a cooler breeze to go along with it. Continue to fish in hats and fingerless gloves. Bring plenty of layers to shed or cover up with. Silver Creek is now closed for the season. The river will reopen May 23, so start tying your PMDs, Brown Drakes, Baetis and big Beetles for the first week of spring! The Big Lost River is the one river that will remain open throughout March, April and May. The later we get into the spring, the better it will fish, but March can be very, very good on the lower Lost. Midges are the main food source now, but as we move forward, expect to see more and more Baetis hatches. If you decide to head “around the horn” and fish the Big Lost, don’t forget to stop by Picabo Angler for a great fly selection, beer, ice and breakfast or lunch to go. We have recently expanded our outfitting business, so come on in and check out our larger space. We are super-excited about the coming season and all new products should begin arriving throughout the spring.

Truth O’ The River
Photos by Kat Smith (www.katsmithphotography.com)
BY BRENNAN REGO
i
smithed this poem in 2011 after encountering a new rapid during an elevenday rafting trip on the Middle and Main Forks of Idaho’s Salmon River. I was working as a culinary consultant for the outfitter during the trip, hence the nickname “River Chef B.” Following the venture, I asked the outfitter if I could work on the so-called “River Of No Return” as a river guide for the rest of the summer ~ a fantastic choice.
Killer Fang Falls
By Brennan Rego
Have ye good folks yet heard recounted the truth O’ that snaggled ol’ tooth, Chompin’ up through a three-fathom Whitewater wall? There are few who can claim To have rafted the Middle an’ Main O’er the new devil’s tine maw now known as Killer Fang Falls. Not long ago there were three ~ The River Prof., his young daughter Katherine, an’ me ~ Who first tangoed that pure alabaster, In-flight-water wall. Our craft was the brand-new Lady Katherine ~ aka “The Blueberry” A small oar boat o’ nine feet and, in big waves, nigh-on-scary. She shook like a rattler in waters much flatter than Killer Fang Falls. As we made our approach we heard Beelzebub roar a jet engine snore like a chainsaw landin’ point down on a mountain mahogany floor; Yet, the fog an’ the spray our eyes innocent kept o’ that ambushin’, three-fathom,Whitewater wall. A smart whimper arose from young and wise Katherine: “I want out of this boat, Daddy,” she said. Said the Prof., “I’ll make it happen!” All back on the oars as we raged toward the lip o’ Killer Fang Falls. Sage Kat scurried like lightning into the big boat behind us as the waters got mean. Then our raft ferried faster, right toward the disaster, an’ the water’s calm green Broke into a quaking, pure alabaster, Fright-water wall. The River Prof. manned the oars. “Ridin’ the bull” up in front was myself, Ready to wrassle that rapid as we flew oe’r the shelf O’ that misty, white whirl known as Killer Fang Falls. As we shot through the barrel, Our civilized souls turned right feral An’ we WHOOOOPED as we soared oe’r that three-fathom Whitewater wall. Like a cleaver it dropped And it minced and it chopped. Then ~ of a sudden ~ we were shocked by the sight of a snaggle-toothed rock: the Killer fang in the falls. An’ thought I, “My head an’ that fang had better not dance. Cause I don’t stand a chance o’ wearing the pants in that romance,” As the Blueberry bucked in the storm o’ that pure alabaster, Crag-in-sight-water wall. Where’s the line? To the left? Surely death. To the right? We’ll leave our loved ones bereft. O’er the saber? Surely not, we’ll get ripped, torn, sliced, an’ then diced by the Killer fang in the falls.

“The reaper’s come with his scythe to harvest his crop,” Shouted I to the Prof., “That fang’ll fer sure make this Blueberry pop,” As we screamed toward Lucifer’s unicuspid down the three-fathom, Whitewater wall. The adrenaline coursed; I felt alive and excited, Mannin’ my bull-ridin’ post, keepin’ fair Lady Katherine uprighted. We careened forth in the froth an’ swept barely a hair to the right o’ the Killer fang in the falls. Then, the hellacious throat ‘hind the tooth ~ like a black hole in the boil ~ Sucked us in with complete disregard to the Prof.’s back-wrenchin’ toil, An’ we spun into the white as it snarled an’ it huffed ‘neath the pure alabaster, Impolite-water wall. I was head-buttin’ the swells ~ zen-focused to fore ~ When the next sight I saw was a lone, floatin’ oar, As the Lady Katherine was swallowed by the gullet abaft o’ the Killer fang in the falls. Though I, “I better look aft To see what commotion is plaguing’ this craft,” As we surfed the turbulent gorge-way to hell under the three-fathom Whitewater wall. I glanced back right quick ~ afraid we would tip ~ And it seemed as I sussed through the furious fuss that the Prof.’d gone in for a dip. It dawned on me then: I was alone in that boat in the ravenous throat ‘hind the Killer fang in the falls. “Prof.?” shouted I. “River Chef B!” said he, “Get me out of this satanic vacuum and in there with ye.” “One, two, three!” I replied, as I pulled up on his vest ‘neath the pure alabaster, Prof.-in-plight-water wall. As he fell on my chest, I thought we would flip, But chaste Lady Katherine kept us out o’ the crypt. We de-rigged the spare oar with alarm-nimbled fingers, unwillin’ to linger near the Killer fang in the falls. The River Prof. rowed as I kept the raft right-side-up, An’ we pulled out of Mephistopheles’ esophagus feelin’ like two, newborn river pups, Rushin’ on life as we ventured out the torrent an’ the thrash o’ that three-fathom, Whitewater wall. Said the Prof. “Thank goodness we got Katherine out o’ this cork.” “Indeed,” I agreed, “This Blueberry gits some good torque.” We exhaled a thrill-jacked sigh of relief in the placid lake in the wake o’ Killer Fang Falls. As we collected ourselves in that pine-colored eddy, We watched young, brainy, brave Katherine plungin’ down steady In captain Adrian’s eighteen-foot steadfast, as they swooped oe’r the pure alabaster, Speed-o’-light-water wall. Now, take note my dear river dogs that by many The truth o’ this tale has been haggled, Yet ye’ve heard tell from first hand the infamous lore O’ that ghastly canine ~ lonesome an’ snaggled ~ O’ the burbling churn an’ the abhorrent, deplorable gore o’ the river’s trapdoor, O’ that Devil’s tine maw ~ the unfathomable ~ Whitewater wall known as Killer Fang Falls.

SPOTS more about it
D. O. Lee, The Ranger
Photo from Sawtooth Valley Work Center office, dated 1961. On the back it states: “D. Lee 1962 Photo by: Dorothy Povey.” Dorothy was a reporter and photographer for The Wood River Journal for many years.
Dave Lee was born to be a ranger. He was the wilderness manager for what later became the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA). He knew every mile of trail in the Sawtooths (over 600), and many of them in the dark or snow or driving rain. He was a father, a family man, a community man (Rotarun Ski Area was his favorite winter project in Hailey), and a fair man, not to be forgotten. BY TONY TAYLOR
If you come to Stanley Basin from either far or near, you’ll find some Sawtooth legends that may well bend your ear. Maybe by the campfire or bellied to the bar, the White Clouds, too, have stories that time will never mar. Before the night is over, after talk that’s cheap, you’ll hear of D.O. Lee, the ranger, just before you sleep. A native son from Challis, he rode those rocky routes, and stood atop those mountains in rundown cowboy boots. His smile was warm and
humble and reached from ear to ear; his handshake strong as friendship proved through many years. He’d trust you as a stranger and help you all he could, but always knew a culprit and called him where he stood. So if you’re tailing salmon or think you’ll poach an elk, or hedge your range with woollies, there’s nothing that will help. D.O. Lee will find you and make you feel a fool; there’s nowhere you can travel...there’s nothing you can do. He loved those mighty mountains like a skinner
loves his mules, like a miner loves his burro or a marm would love her school. So before the bar is empty or the coals have lost their glow, remember that the secret is not in all the rules. Just love them like that ranger ~ make sure your fire’s out, no more cutting switchbacks, and careful with those trout! This country’s close to Heaven...It’s something you can feel... Smokey’s just a legend...D.O. Lee is real. tws Tony Taylor is a longtime Hailey resident and local history buff. He enjoys skiing on soft snow and training horses in his free time.

Harriman Legacy Greater Than SV BY DICK DORWORTH
M
ost people reading this are aware that today’s Wood River Valley and its nearby communities would be very different, socially, culturally and economically, if Averell Harriman’s attention had not been directed to the area in the 1930s. Though Harriman was a successful businessman, politician and diplomat ~ he served as U.S. Secretary of Commerce, governor of New York, U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union, U.S. Ambassador to Britain and was twice a candidate for the Democrat presidential nomination (losing both times to Adlai Stevenson, whose son John lives on a ranch near Bellevue) ~ he is best known in Idaho as the man who in 1935 gave Austrian Count Felix Schaffgotsch the job of finding a site for a world-class ski resort in western America that could be reached by Harriman’s Union Pacific Railroad tracks. The Count found Ketchum, and Harriman found the Brass Ranch a couple of miles to the east, and the rest, as the saying goes, is history. Sun Valley history. In a seven-month frenzy of construction in 1936, the Sun Valley Lodge was built on the Brass Ranch and the world’s first chairlifts were installed on Proctor and Dollar mountains. Eighty years after Schaffgotsch began his search, Harriman’s legacy to the Wood River Valley continues to flourish, nourish and inspire local citizens, part-time residents and tourists alike. Sun Valley has shaped, touched and enhanced the lives of countless people living in Idaho and throughout the world in ways that can never be measured, but which are acknowledged every day, all of it a legacy to Idaho from W. Averell Harriman. And it is only part of Harriman’s legacy to the Gem State. This year is the 50th anniversary of the Idaho State Parks and Recreation system, which would not have been born without Averell Harriman and his brother Roland, and would not have survived and thrived this long without their foresight and stipulations in transferring the 11,000-acre Harriman Ranch in eastern Idaho to the state. They called it the Railroad Ranch and the brothers were interested in preserving it in perpetuity “... to keep it from being chopped

up into subdivision or resort developments.” Roland had met Robert Smylie in the mid-’50s, shortly after Smylie had won the first of three successive elections as governor of Idaho on a ticket of creating a state park system. Despite a great deal of opposition from the state land board and other state fountains of political patronage, Smylie and the Harrimans negotiated for several years (much of it secretly) until the state agreed in 1965 to establish a professional state park system free of political patronage. All of the Idaho state parks exist as such because of those negotiations and the Harriman 11,000-acre gift to the state. In 2010, Idaho Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter attempted to disband Idaho’s park agency in order to fill a budget hole in his administration. But to do so would mean returning those 11,000 acres to the Harriman estate, according to the stipulations agreed to in 1965. Fortunately, he could not do that. Today, Harriman State Park continues to be part of a wildlife refuge for moose, deer, elk, bear and sandhill cranes, among other wild creatures. Two-thirds of the trumpeter swans that winter in the contiguous United States spend the season in Harriman State Park. All of them, and the hundreds of thousands of people who annually visit the state parks throughout Idaho, appreciate the legacy of Harriman, even if they aren’t conscious of it. Thanks, Averell. Thanks, Roland. tws

“A Most Violent Year,” written and directed by J.C. Chandor (“All is Lost”), is an atmospheric piece set authentically in the crime-ridden and decaying New York City of 1981 ~ pre-Giuliani. We are in Queens, with Manhattan’s glimmering skyline in the distance. The portrait is of the home-heating-oil business run by a group of families that seem to war with each other like their classic Mafia counterparts. The protagonist is a young immigrant ~ played brilliantly by Oscar Isaac ~ whose oil business is on the rise. When the film opens, he is about to close on a crucial piece of real estate that will skyrocket his enterprise to the top. Putting down his life’s savings as a deposit, he has one month to finance the
rest ~ one and a half million dollars, or forfeit it all. Of course, all does not go well. Isaac’s trucks and oil are being hijacked and he doesn’t seem able to stop it. He is under investigation by an assistant D.A. for skimming the books. And, of course, there is the relationship with his mob princess wife, a wonderful Jessica Chastain. Where her husband is quiet and prudent, Chastain is fiery and aggressive. The daughter of a mob boss, she reveals her true instincts when Isaac hits a deer in the road and is unable to put the struggling animal down. Chastain solves the problem by unloading three bullets into its head. Complex and completely absorbing, it is one of the most riveting portraits of a marriage in recent memory. Chandor’s script sizzles

O
livia Ott, a Community School junior carrying a 4.28 grade point average and captain of the tennis team, has her eyes on a possible career in international relations. To that end, this is Ott’s third year taking part in the model United Nations Club at her school. Originally hailing from Naples, FL, Ott moved to the Wood River Valley when she was in fifth grade. “It’s a city about the size of Boise,” Ott said, when talking about Naples. “It’s on the Gulf Coast, so I grew up about a mile and a half from the beach. My whole life was spent in the water, swimming and boating. I liked it, but it was very different from here and it had a really different feel to it, especially because there were so many more people. “I guess I like a small town more because I mostly grew up here. We moved here because my parents wanted a change and they wanted a healthy, active lifestyle for us. For one thing, I learned how to ski here and the Community School outdoor program has given me experiences that
I’ll never have again.” Ott picked the Community School because her school in Florida was connected to it, so it seemed a logical choice. “I’m enjoying the high school more than I did the middle school because you have the freedom to pursue what you are interested in,” she said. “I just really like the program there. It’s primarily discussion based and critical thinking learning, or the ability to articulate and problem solve not just SAT math but things applicable to everyday life, which is really important. The school provides perspective on what skills you will actually use.” Ott’s favorite subjects are English and Spanish. “I read a lot and right now I am enjoying a class on Ernest Hemingway. My favorite author is Cormac McCarthy because I’ve never read a writer that used such simple language but also communicated intelligent ideas without sounding pretentious.” Ott’s passion, however, is the model United Nations. “We normally go to three conferences a year and in three weeks we go to Berkeley, CA, which is the oldest
and most prestigious conference on the West Coast,” she said. “This year we will be representing Argentina and will be talking about women’s rights and climate change in Latin America. To prepare, we write two highly researched papers with 23 sources. It’s a lot of work. We then meet in committee for two or three days and use parliamentary debate to talk about the issue and try to come to an agreement and come up with a resolution. You win if you get your resolution passed.” Ott’s favorite country was Liberia, which she represented last year. “The issues were foreign aid and non-state militias,” she said. “The problems were so complicated that it was fun to debate and come up with solutions. It gave me a perspective on how difficult it is in general for actual governments to solve these insane issues. I think I love participating because speaking and debating are really fun. Also, a lot of the things we talk about are current issues and we wouldn’t know they are problems without the model UN.”
4-H Teaches Youth
tws
STEM, finances & nutrition
A message from Jim Lindstrom, University of Idaho’s 4-H state director responsible for statewide leadership for 4-H, explains how STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), youth finance programs and nutrition are impacting today’s youth. When most people think of 4-H, they think of raising animals, but quickly learn it is so much more. University of Idaho Extension 4-H youth development programs reached 56,000 Idaho youth ages five to 18 last year. 4-H programs, ranging from robotics to nutrition and financial literacy, help youth prepare for their own future and help Idaho prepare an educated workforce for the jobs of tomorrow. All 4-H programs focus on citizenship, science and
healthy living.
Building and programming robots to perform useful tasks taught more than 1,200 youth the power of teamwork and technology during 2014. 4-H after-school and classroom programs in communities across Idaho supplemented regular science education. Support from agricultural lenders, Northwest Farm Credit Services and CoBank, helps UI Extension faculty develop education programs so youth learn the importance of managing their finances responsibly. Grants from ConAgra, Walmart, National 4-H Council and USDA support nutrition education programs that train and deploy 4-H teens as peer nutrition advisors.
Teen peer nutrition advisors shared information with more than 2,500 youth, made healthy snacks together, took home healthy recipes, and learned ways to exercise more. Idaho leaders have their chance to assess 4-H’s efforts during the legislative session each year. The Know Your Government event in the capital city during Presidents’ Day weekend draws 200 4-H’ers to Boise to learn civics first hand in the state’s judicial and legislative branches and practice leadership skills that last a lifetime. In evaluating 4-H’s statewide impact, one can see the value of University of Idaho 4-H youth programming for instilling life leadership skills in today’s youth

THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE FAUX BUSINESS THE BLATANT COUNTY FILM FESTIVAL SPONSORED BY THE BLATANT COUNTY NEWS
Grumpy Old NewsmeN
With a tip of the hat and a shipload of respect to this week's Sun Valley Film Festival, we here at The Blatant County News are grateful to take this opportunity to announce our First Annual Film Festival to be held in the backyard of the new offices of The Weekly Sun at the 1952-circa charming house right next to Sturtos in Hailey. A huge screen is being erected as we speak that will be able to be seen from as far as the Hailey Post Office. Show times are every night at 7 PM
from March 4th to March 10th. There's not a bad seat anywhere outside the house. Our film choices this year center around the eight nominated motion pictures that were presented at the Academy Awards, with a slight twist. To enhance each film, we have spliced in another popular film of the past to slightly vary each story and, we think, totally make it more entertaining. Below, you may look over the eight movies we have selected from our board of two who have delved deep into our archives and put together a film festival which will become a week to remember and a lifetime to forget. See you at the movies!

I
MY LOVE OF FILM
first got into my love for movies in Albany, New York, when I was about six years old. My sister, Pat, age 7, and I were dropped off at The Strand Theatre at 9:30 and were picked up in late afternoon between 4 and 5 and we had to be dragged out because 8 to 9 hours in front of the silver screen was just not long enough. The entire Saturday of entertainment cost 50 cents. Why? Because it was 1947 and everything was affordable. We were given an extra dollar for snacks to buy at the snack bar but we also had hidden treats all over our bodies. We had "Dots," "Taffy," "Juju-Fruits," "Wax Coca-Cola Bottles," "Peppermint Patties," candied dots on paper rolls and "Bit-O Honeys." By the time we settled into our seats and the lights lowered and the screen lit up, we were in heaven. First came the Pathe News, which showed us what was going on in the world, plus sports news and the latest in the world of entertainment. Next, Preview of Coming Attractions, which we read out loud together and then silently planned our future Saturdays. Now it was time for cartoons! Tom and Jerry, Terry Toons, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny,
crap!

CHATTING AT HAPPY HOUR WITH THE LADIES ♠ According to my "Activity Tracker," I've been dead for two weeks. ♦ If I was a stripper, I'd go by the name, "Menorah" and get "lit" every night of the week. ♣ Sexual harassment at the office is a big problem for my girlfriend.

I'm going to go ahead and treat myself to some adult diapers. It's Friday and I deserve it! ♦ Another word for social investigating is stalking. ♣ Hey…the tequila I just drank wants to tell you a secret. ♥ My favorite flavor is large. ♠ My company has started random urine tests of its employees in order to detect traces of hope or optimism. ♦ Is it true that Paul Revere was gay and what he really said was "The British are stunning! The British are stunning!" ♣ I'm no quitter. I'll only leave when I hear that last bell.

We were feeling very proud of ourselves when the Hopalong Cassidy movie of the week came on, followed by Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. These were my heroes and Pat rooted for Dale Evans, the school marms and every dancehall girl in each episode. Next was either Ma and
Pa Kettle, Lil Abner, Superman or The Three Stooges. At the end of the Stooges, the moms and dads would come to pick up their kids and Pat and I would hide under seats until the kids cleared out and we watched the regular movie features of the weekend like "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" or a Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland show. The second feature was usually a daring crime drama like Naked City, The Asphalt Jungle or Baby Face Nelson - adult shows - which we would never get to finish as my father's voice thundered out, "Pat, Kit (my nickname as a boy), time to go!" As everyone in the theater shushed my father, we meekly arose from our seats and followed him outside to the Hudson Hornet that awaited us. We were so happy when we got inside, as was father, who had spent the last three hours at Cal's Tavern laughing with his pals. Mom was waiting with dinner for us and we had a lot of radio shows to listen to that night. It never was better than this. It was a good time to be alive before we had to grow up and be serious. Nice talking to you.

Foghorn Leghorn, Mighty Mouse and on and on - an hour's worth non-stop. Next up was our favorite feature, "The Races." There were bike races, horse races, dog races, ostrich races and even human races. Each contestant had a numbers on their side or back. On the back of your ticket of admission were corresponding number for each event. If your number won, you would get a really fine prize such as comic books, free food at the snack bar, an action figure of a superhero or a free pass for next week. We cheered our lungs out rooting for our contestants numbers, and one miraculous Saturday morning, sister Pat won two contests. We were ecstatic and Pat had to stand up and go up in the front of the theater to receive her prizes from the head usher. She selected a free pass for next week and free food and drinks from the snack bar. What a score!

MISCELLANEOUS, TOO! Watching my dad scroll through the pictures on my phone is like watching someone trying to pet a bubble. Seeking fame? Don't be yourself. I'm going to have to tell today to get to know itself in a biblical way. Want to feel old? The Mesozoic Era ended 66 million years ago. One way to get people to look at your dating profile is to wear a black and blue dress that looks white and gold. No one is smiling in New York City - there's just windchill-induced winces. Reading the emergency instructions on this tube of "Super Glue" and I can't put it down. I assume people who don't hate people also don't drive. If a college coed's cellphone battery dies, she'll continue to take "selfies" for another three minutes. I'm getting a Gatorade logo tattoo to symbolize my contempt for thirst. MIDDLE EAST: "How can we stop ISIS?" EUROPE: "How can we save our economy?" AMERICA: "What color is this dress?"
Except for an occasional heart attack, I feel as young as I ever have before. I've found that work is a lot less fun and fun is a lot more work. I'm a night owl and an early bird, thus, I have wisdom and worms. Another thing that is so simple a child can operate it is a grandparent. Next week isn't what it used to be. Old age is an excellent time for outrage. I'd like to have a credit card for charging things to experience. The worst thing about retirement is that you have to drink coffee on your own time. I guess you could call me retired. I was tired last week, I'm tired this week and I'll be tired next week, as well. It's almost time for "Spring Broke." I'll never forget the time I lost the lottery.

Corrections
We'd like apologize to the Catholic religion for our "Lent" issue last week. It seems we ruffled quite a few feathers and seriously, we were just clowning around. Actually we were very pleased to get a warm note from the Vatican that said, among other things, "Stop it!" "'Nuff said," we said. As for other errata, our capitalization work leaves a lot to be desired as witnessed on page 1, again on page two and, then, again, on page three. We have no trouble inserting commas, though, and do it clearly, at will. And, now on to March which we'll sail into with a dull whisper of tired lambs but hope to turn it around and leave March with a roar of a lion or, lyin', if you please. Again, sorry for everything and thanks for being patient.

boose, as it were – was choice or, as Spencer Tracy said about Katherine Hepburn in the classic flick, Pat and Mike, “cherce.” That was then. This is, as they say annoyingly, now. They also say, ‘Aging is not for Sissies.” I’ll say. To be a sissy is to have no definition, muscular or otherwise. To be a sissy is to be a wuss, a word I really dislike being called, and one I naturally overuse, BTW.

There was a time my tush was well regarded. Construction workers whistled on the streets in New York when I sashayed by. Never mind that construction workers, who always seemed on break rather than at work, whistled at anything that sashayed. I knew, and others confirmed this notion, that what went on behind me – the ca-
But aging is not what I want to chat about here in these hallowed pages. No. I am deep into depression regarding my formerly respected tukus. And what brought on this funk? Did I just get a new mirror that could reflect behind as well as in front? Was I unable to raise myself from the floor after doing sit-ups? No, it was a comment my crossfit trainer, a darling man, uttered rather abruptly one day. While I was sweating bullets trying to do
grabs, lifts, weighted squats, and knee-raises, he informed me that I had a dysfunctional butt, especially the left side. Apparently my derriere has amnesia and has forgotten how to charge, enact or converse. Never mind that I walk, run, sit, ski, squat and ride a bike perfectly well, using said rearend. Or at least I thought I did. What I’ve been doing instead was over-using my lower back muscles for everything. Uh-oh, bring on the anti-inflammatory meds! My nice/crossfit trainer also told me I walked badly. He then showed me how to do it with strength and power but no sex appeal. I screwed up my face, thought about my aforesaid sashaying, and looked askance. No wiggle in my walk? No giggle in my talk? Apparently my days as a big-eyed girl are really over. Humiliation, thy name is an honest crossfit trainer. One leg drags, the other is
stiff-looking, my shoulders are rounded and I lead with my noggin. I practice walking with intention now. Saying to myself - sometimes aloud – ‘Come on, lefty’ while punching myself there. I walk with an invisible string attached to head, my chin tucked down a bit and a fork between my blades, while trying not to push out my breasts (shut up, that’s another story). As for my backside, I’m determined to reconnect my neuromuscular system to the bum thing. I have let it down, and it has gone down as a result. Before it starts sliding along the floor somewhere near my heels, I have work to do. So, if you see me walking around town, my cheeks clenched to within an inch of their lives – fear not – I’m not having a digestive moment but seeking to engage lefty. You can yell, ‘Go Lefty’ at me, but please don’t point at the nearest Blue Room.
