April Vokey, FLY GAL! P BY PAUL HOPFENBECK

I

n the hallowed halls of the fly-fishing elite, it is difficult to find anyone more deeply entrenched in the sport or the industry. Fly-fishing is April Vokey. Friday we will welcome April to our Valley for what will be three very special days of casting and fly-tying instruction. April was born in British Columbia with a passion for fishing and was relentless in coaxing her father into taking her at every opportunity. At sixteen, when most young ladies are either involved in more genteel pursuits or spending their free time in organized sports, April, new driver’s license in hand, could be found exploring the holes, runs, and fish-holding seams of her local rivers. April worked night jobs so that she could spend the daylight hours on the river, often logging 300 days a year, and in her early twenties became a guide for a large outfitter. She soon tired of the “get ’em in, get ’em out” mentality that was so prevalent in the B.C. guiding community, and in 2007 she founded her B.C.-based guide company, Fly Gal Ventures (www. flygal.ca). April’s résumé is impressive and extensive: guide, expert casting and tying instructor, author, filmmaker, photographer, and conservationist. Her love for the fish may be most apparent in her devoted stewardship of those rivers on which she cut her teeth and now afford her a living. She sits on the board of the Steelhead Society of B.C. and is the founder and director of the popular fundraiser, Flies for Fins (www.flies4fins.com). In 2011, April was invited by Patagonia founder and impassioned wild fish conservationist Yvon Chouinard to accept a position with the Patagonia ambassador team where she is assisting in the design and direction of the women’s line of fishing apparel. Recently, April joined the cast of Bonefish and Buccaneers, which is filming flats fishing exploits the world over. In the late summer of 2011, Jason Roth and I were sitting in his office doing a little head scratching. Both of us are board members of Idaho Steelhead and Salmon Unlimited and, having just completed our annual fundraiser and drift boat raffle, we were planning our next event. It dawned on us that in order to involve the entire community and follow in the tradition of incredible Sun Valley events and high-profile personalities, we needed to bring in some word-class talent. Now, after almost a year of planning, dealing with ever-changing schedules and a crushing agenda of travel plans and obligations, April will be here to kick off the “Ketchum Cast Away and Fly-tying Festival” with the Friday evening, June 8th “Meet and Greet” from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Silver Creek

STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

addy McIlvoy is a self-described “tomato nerd.” He’s tried more than 300 varieties of tomatoes in his quest to find the best tasting tomato in the world. He’s growing 81 varieties from 27 countries this year, ranging from tiger-striped tomatoes that taste like pineapple to the blue-colored Indigo Rose, in his yard in the heart of Old Hailey. He can wax eloquent about the Galapagos tomato, which only germinates after it’s gone through the digestive system of the giant Galapagos tortoise, prompting the Japanese to develop an artificial tortoise digestive system. And he can recite the stories behind such tomatoes as the Purple Dog Creek tomato, a century-old heirloom tomato that the 43 residents of Dog Creek, Ky., grew to sell to build a new church. “There are probably only ten other people in the world growing some of the varieties I’m growing. And that’s kind of fun,” said McIlvoy, whose list of tomato conquests include the African Queen, Bear Claw, Big Ben, Amish Gold and the yellow- and red-striped Texas Star. “I was always attracted to growing things I can’t get in the supermarket. My mother has a phenomenal green thumb and she let me have a chunk of her garden to play in when I was a kid. And I had macro gardens in college.” McIlvoy grew up in Las Cruces, N.M., the chili pepper capital of the world. In fact, he worked across the hall from the U.S. National Chili Pepper Laboratory when he worked for the agricultural communications office at New Mexico State University. “New Mexicans feel about chili peppers the way the French do about their wine,” he said. “They acknowledge that chili peppers grow elsewhere but they believe they’re inferior to those grown in New Mexico.” It was fly-fishing that lured him from the land of chili peppers. “I came here to fish for a week and never left,” said McIlvoy, who works as a fly-fishing guide for Sturtevants Mountain Outfitters when he’s not digging in the dirt. “This place has the best fly-fishing in the world. There are very few places in the world where you can fish a river running through town. Silver Creek, which has one of the densest populations of wild trout in the United States and is one of the best spring-fed creeks in the world, is a half hour in one direction, and steelhead and salmon fishing is an hour away in the other direction.” Some would have said that the move was a poor

“Every time I hear people say you can’t grow tomatoes in the Wood River Valley, I say, ‘You’re wrong and I have the pictures to prove it.’ ” Paddy McIlvoy grows seedlings in his 900-square-foot house in Hailey using seedling heat mats, 48-inch shop lights with T8 bulbs and a small electric fan.

choice for someone who likes to grow vegetables as much as McIlvoy. But McIlvoy, whose yard was already sporting alpine strawberries, garlic, onions and bok choy in April, says otherwise. “Every time I hear people say you can’t grow tomatoes in the Wood River Valley, I say, ‘You’re wrong and I have the pictures to prove it,’ ” said McIlvoy, whose 1,100-square-foot garden is larger than his 900-square-foot house. “They grow tomatoes in Siberia—and we’re warmer than Siberia. And they breed tomatoes to grow in the Arctic. “We live in an excellent place to grow tomatoes, except for the temperature. And we can get around that by growing our tomatoes inside black

Book Signing for Historic Hailey Book Get Your Copy Signed at 4 p.m. this Saturday BY KAREN BOSSICK

R

ob Lonning has long been intrigued by the history of his adopted town of Hailey, which rose to prominence as one of Idaho’s most important cities only to be overshadowed in subsequent years by Sun Valley, its more glamorous neighbor to the north. The retired professor got a chance to shine the spotlight on the former boomtown when the Charleston, S.C.-based Arcadia Publishing company asked him to put together a book of photographs of old Hailey for its series “Images of America.” The photo essay book is one of a handful that the company has done on Idaho cities. Lonning will sign copies of the book, which retails for $21.99, at 4 p.m. Saturday at Old Town Mercantile (formerly the Yellow Brick Road) across from Atkinsons’ Market in Hailey. The former education professor at the University of Connecticut had been mulling a coffee tabletype history book when Arcadia’s proposal came along.

“What got me interested was the old Martyn Mallory photos that the Hailey Public Library has, showing what Hailey looked like back in the day,” said Lonning, Arcadia provided the formula for the book, including the number of pages, the template, how to set up the pages and even guidelines for the headings. But the publishers left Lonning free to chart the direction of the book, from his decision to include Hailey’s long tradition of celebrating the Fourth of July to pictures of the town’s historic churches to the construction of the Sun Valley Lodge, which Union Pacific Railroad hired Mallory to document. The project also gave Lonning the freedom to explore the stories behind some of Mallory’s photos. Lonning, for instance, kept running into images of windsocks and white rocks that seemed to have some connection to airplanes. As he scoured newspapers published in 1932, the story behind the photos started to fall into place. “Rose Mallory mentioned that when her husband was a boy, his father (Martyn) had taken him to the dedication of the Friedman Memorial Airport. As I read the newspaper accounts, I learned that the Boy Scouts had cleared the field

They lay the whitewashed rocks out in a compass around a flagpole and used others to spell the word ‘Hailey,’ ” he said. “I was probably the first person to put that all together so I was particularly proud of that.” Lonning, who has served as chair of the Hailey Historic Preservation Commission since 2006, said he enjoyed the old pictures of downtown, particularly those taken after the 1898 fire. He also was intrigued by such pictures as that of a woman in an elaborate floor-length black dress on a bridge talking to a dog. “I had read that women wore elaborate black dresses to go to town,” he said. Lonning had thought the publishers would want to put the book out in time for Christmas. But they decided to hold it until this spring so they could introduce it as the tourist season started up. The book is available at the Blaine County Museum in Hailey, Hailey’s hardware stores, Jane’s Artifacts, Luke’s Pharmacy, the Hailey Chamber of Commerce and amazon.com Lonning is donating the royalties from book sales to the Hailey library in return for use of the library’s Mallory collection. tws

he pressure’s on. In the Habitat, May is do-or-die month. The seed beds have been weeded twice, some thrice. There’s nothing tentative about the weeds. This large, diverse garden is like painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Start on one end, and by the time I am finished (not yet), I have to start all over again. Actually, I’m not complaining. Exercise and weight loss keep the wolves from the door. Also, the only way to know a square foot is to weed it. Nose to the ground, I get to meet everybody—the slugs, the grubs, centipedes, beetles, ant cities, hornets nests, aspirant yearning shoots and root networks. It’s like giving the garden its physical; I get to check plant and soil health and illness. Like a physician, I have to diagnose and remedy, enable the living, even though there are more questions than answers. This intimate burrowing and its thousand whispers is unique to May. June signals the arrival of maturity, and access to bare ground is lost. Once things grow in, I can’t do much weeding without trampling. Destroying the village in order to save it doesn’t work here. There’s plenty of other work, like hardscaping, the digging of new beds (which then have to be weeded several times in preparation for late fall seeding) and pushing back the invasive Bermuda and native wheat grass, presentation and cleanup so the place doesn’t look like an urban renewal construction site. I have to manage the illusion of serenity in a world of constant change. The comic Joan Rivers, now in her 80s, said that keeping up with change is the key to vitality and relevance. “As long as I can still offend people, I know I’ve got it. The day I put them to sleep is the day I’ll pack it in.” The lone birdhouse here has been inhabited by a Swainson’s

thrush, or a house finch, or a warbler, with a beautiful, complex double song that cannot be whistled or imitated. As soon as I get anywhere near it, I get serenaded—in French, no doubt. In deference to a protective mom, I’ll let this corner of the garden go untouched for now. Pulling weeds allows for reflection, and I get to know the neighbors. On this day I got a lesson in the deeply rooted human behavior called ‘denial,’ just in time for the political season. The black Lab next door likes to bark and wander the neighborhood. It ignores all calls for her

silence, or to return home. The Habitat is near Angela Drive in northwest Hailey. The Lab takes off in hot pursuit of some kids walking a dog, barking her head off. In jest, I yell to the neighbor, tending her vegetable garden, that her dog likes to roam. She stands up, takes offense and announces that her dog never leaves the property—all this while the pooch, now a good 150 yards away, is busy barking at those kids walking on a paved road. We all know that our pets and kids can do no wrong, that it’s them other folks who are the problem. The dog reminded me of George Zimmerman. tws

The Top 10 Reasons to Buy Organic!

P

rotect future generations: Food choices you make now will impact your child’s future health. Prevent soil erosion: In commercial farming, soil is used as a medium to hold plants in a vertical position so they can be fertilized; as a result, these farms are suffering from the worst soil erosion in history—soil is eroding seven times faster than it is being built up! Protect water quality: The EPA estimates that cancercausing pesticides contaminate the primary source of drinking water for more than half the US population. Save energy: Commercial farming uses more petroleum to produce synthetic fertilizers. Organic farming uses labor-intensive practices and green manure to build up soil. Keep chemicals off your plate: The EPA considers 60 percent of all herbicides, 90 percent of all fungicides and 30 percent of all insecticides to be carcinogenic. Protect farm workers: Commercial farmers suffer the highest rate of occupational illness, including cancer. Help small farmers: Although the number of organic farmers is increasing, they are still at a smaller scale than commercial farmers. Support a true economy: Organic food is more expensive than conventional food; these farmers have hidden costs the big farmers don’t have, federal subsidies unborn by taxpayers, and pesticide regulation and testing. Promote biodiversity: Commercial farmers practice mono-cropping; this reduces the natural minerals and nutrients, and requires the farmers rely on chemical fertilizers. Taste better flavor: This says it all. Many chefs use organic foods because they taste better! Got a question or want to draft your own ERCbeat?

Hailey Pond now Stocked, in Time for Free Fishing Day BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he Riverside Pond in Hailey’s Heagle Park is being stocked with fish just in time for Free Fishing Day on Saturday, June 9, and Father’s Day on Sunday, June 17. Idaho Fish and Game will release 450 trout into the pond on Thursday. The pond is situated on what used to be the old riverside wastewater treatment facility in Hailey. Today, it’s a vibrant wetland full of native shrubs, trees, sedges and grasses. The Wood River Land Trust took it from a hole in the ground to a vibrant spot that attracts both wildlife and families. “It was quite a problem at one time because of the mosquitoes breeding there,� recalled Scott Boettger, executive director of the WRLT. “We dug deep enough to allow stream flow and we put in aerators to stem the algae growth. The restoration of cot-

tonwoods and other vegetation has proven more successful than we could have imagined.� In fact, the plant growth has been so prolific that the WRLT can no longer conduct the largescale fishing events that used to lure hundreds of children to the pond’s banks. “There’s not enough beach— everyone’s line would get tangled up,� said Boettger. “But the pond is a wonderful place for individuals to access on their own. It’s a good place to get hooked on fishing. It’s catch-and-take, so you don’t have to release your fish back into the pond. It’s a good place to learn to fish for those who don’t have the skills to catch a brown trout at Silver Creek.� To get there, turn off Highway 75 onto West Cedar Street just north of the Hailey Post Office. Take a left on Silver Star Drive, then turn right on War Eagle Drive. The pond entrance is on the left just before the tennis courts. tws

Toymakers Learn Building and Market Skills STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

hird-graders at Hemingway Elementary School should have no problem getting a job in the future as long as Santa keeps hanging out his “Help Wanted” shingle. The third-graders have turned their technology lab into a toymaking studio. Not only have they designed and built their toys but they’ve shot commercials advertising them. This is the seventh year that third-graders at Hemingway have created toys—a process that challenges them to learn to use tools and to learn what it takes to be successful in the marketplace. Two girls—Fallon Flaherty and Alex Stuessi—built a horse out of blue foam that they cut with hot wire cutters and sanded. They made the saddle out of LEGOS and put a toy person on it. Then they draped stringlike reins around its neck and finished it off with wheels that allowed the horse to roll around. “I was real proud of them because they used what they had learned earlier making sail carts,” said Scott Slonim, school technology teacher. Kasen Finkbeiner, Jake Drummond and Ethan Marx built a robot out of goggles, tinker toys and paper towel rolls. After floating a few lofty price tags like a half-million dollars, they settled on a $16.99 price that they said they thought their parents would be willing to pay for the toy. “Mr. Slonim said if we put 99 cents on it that it would make it sound like less money than it actually is,” said Marx. “It’s kind of cool because it sort of actually flies, so I think a lot of kids

“Mr. Slonim said if we put 99 cents on it that it would make it sound like less money than it actually is. It’s kind of cool because it sort of actually flies, so I think a lot of kids would like to have it.” –Ethan Marx would like to have it.” And Anna Bernbaum and Daniela Armenta made a “Crazy Ice Skating Dog” with google eyes out of magic clay. “We were going to make a giraffe but it ended up being easier to make a dog,” said Bernbaum. The students filmed commercials for their toys, which accentuated special effects, such as lightning emanating from the products’ heads, fireworks and stars exploding above the toys and squeaky voices that sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks. The toy projects teach the

students how to work together in groups of two or three—a skill that’s increasingly important in today’s work force, which demands teamwork, said Slonim. “All of them have different ideas when they start but they have to work together to reach a consensus on what they want to do,” he said. “They learn about the design process and how to revise things to make their toy better if they decide their initial concept is not working well. “They learn how to create and edit a commercial that would be interesting enough that they

would want to watch it. And they learn the reality of the marketplace. I tell them it’s a good price if they can bring it to their parents and their parents would consider buying it.”

NOT JUST TOYS

While the third-graders were busy building toys, the fourthgraders were making recycling commercials. The Environmental Resource Center even paid for a public service announcement to be shown at the Bigwood4 Cinemas in Hailey Students making the commer-

cial were Brendon Cox, Antonia Avery, Sage Holter, Melissa Gonzalez-Maza, Natalia Ortiz Garcia and Ivan Varela. The fifth-graders, in the meantime, made a commercial for the Animal Shelter that can be seen on the shelter’s Facebook page and Youtube. The commercial was created by Sophia Bernbaum, Isaac Brannon, Katie Markthaler, Kate Connelly, Claire Fisher, Lara Gillingham and Cara Gillingham.

Students from Bellevue Elementary School and Wood River Middle School recently picked up trash over a three-mile area from Power Engineers to the Bellevue bowling alley and back to Bellevue Elementary School.

Leader in Me Program

Laurel Gaeddert Travels Abroad BY JONATHAN KANE

L

aurel Gaeddert, Wood River High School sophomore, is off for the adventure of a lifetime. That is because she will be traveling to Italy next year as part of a foreign exchange program sponsored by the A.F.S. Gaeddert skipped third grade and, with a 3.9 grade point average, was scheduled to graduate early, but instead used this opportunity to travel abroad. “I’ve always wanted to travel the world and this just seemed like a better time to do it. When I get back I’ll be able to complete all my credits and deal with college applications.� Gaeddert first got a taste of travel when she was six years old and went with her family to Paris and Venice. “What I most remember were the cobblestone streets and all the culture and the museums. We got to see the Mona Lisa. For the exchange program, I had the opportunity to go anywhere, but I decided to try Italy, even though I thought about Spain because I study Spanish in school. Unfortunately, I don’t know any Italian.� In Italy Gaeddert will stay with a host family. “I’ll also have someone outside the family who will mentor me and help with the adjustment. My parents may play the same role for a student that comes over here. Between now and August I’ll find out where I’m going because I can end up anywhere. But I’ll be fine wherever I go. Of course, after growing up in the Wood River Valley and a small town, it would be great to end up in a city.� Gaeddert will be away

from her whole family. “It will be so great to see another culture and I’m cool with the idea of being away from home and to be with another family. Being away from home that long will teach me to adapt to new situations. Plus today it is so easy to be connected with people that are so far away. My parents may take a trip to Europe and visit at the end of the year, but it may turn into my own little world that I don’t want to share. But I’m really excited to go. I’ve been away a lot to summer camps, but it will be shocking to go for a whole year, but I think I’ll do really well.� In the meantime, Gaeddert will continue to throw herself into dance with Footlight Dance Company. “I’ve been dancing since I was five,� she said. “My sister danced because my mom was always throwing us into new activities to see what we liked. I wasn’t sure at first but I stuck with it and now I love it. It feels so good for my body and I love to be active. I also love to perform because I feel comfortable dancing before an audience and it’s fun to show what we worked so hard to accomplish.� Gaeddert’s workload continues to be heavy, with eight hours of classes per week. This includes ballet, modern, jazz, tap, hiphop and Pilates training. “I like them all. I especially like the structure of ballet, but it can also be freeing. We also just did our spring performance and it went really well. I’ll really miss it next year when I’m abroad, but I’ll try to find something to occupy me and then I hope to do it when I get

Laurel Gaeddert

back. I love the movement and the family that we have with the other girls and the whole thing together is a great experience.� Gaeddert grew up in Sun Valley and lives in North Deerfield on Quigley Road. “I really like it here, but it definitely has its limitations. But you can also focus on certain things and get involved and dedicate yourself to them. Of course, it would be nice to have more to do, but I love how it’s safe to be out and about. It’s also great to know so many people, but of course the down side is that everyone knows what’s going on and is superinvolved with you.� Next year will certainly be different for Gaeddert as she gets to spread tws her wings and fly.

Caritas Chorale Spring Fundraiser will Spotlight Music of the West STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he Caritas Chorale will sing folksongs and musical numbers of the West for its spring fundraiser Saturday and Sunday. The concerts start at 6 p.m. at Gail Severn Gallery in Ketchum. Bass-baritone James Martin, a Millsaps College professor who has sung at a variety of venues, including the Moab Music Festival and the Santa Fe Opera, will sing a solo. Martin, who has performed with the chorale before, is in Ketchum to teach at St. Thomas Playhouse summer camp. He will also direct the music for the Summer Theater Project’s “Fame” in late June. Additionally, the chorale will present a sneak preview of its upcoming world premiere of “Nez Perce: Promises,” which chorale director Dick Brown commissioned for the chorale. “It’s very interesting music,” said chorale member Jeanne Cassell. “It really tells the story of the Nez Perce. It’s a difficult piece to sing, however, because it’s modern music—it’s not like what our mothers and grandmothers sang.” Admission to the concerts is $40 and includes appetizers and wine before the concerts. The fundraiser is one of two that the chorale stages each year to help pay for its sheet music, orchestra musicians and commissioned pieces. tws

Library to Look at Pioneers and America’s Jurassic Park BY KAREN BOSSICK

M

ike Stevens of the Pioneers Alliance will offer a slide presentation exploring the migratory wildlife, large working ranches and backcountry adventures that exist in the Pioneer Mountains, which lie in Hailey, Bellevue and Carey’s back yard at 6 tonight at The Community Library. The free presentation is sponsored by the Idaho Conservation League and the Pioneers Alliance. On Thursday, Brewster Mosely will offer a free presentation titled “Jurassic Park Without Dinosaurs.” The presentation will feature photographs from the National Audubon Society’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary on Florida’s Gulf Coast. The sanctuary is home to panthers, bobcats, alligators, otter and nearly 200 bird species. “Most would agree that a visit to the National Audubon Society’s Corkscrew Swamp

Sanctuary on Florida’s Gulf Coast is a fascinating journey through some of the country’s most primeval wilderness,” said Mosely. “In fact, when the Pilgrims dropped anchor off the coast of Massachusetts in 1620, many of the virgin bald cypress at Corkscrew were already more than 300 years old. Today, the world’s largest remaining stand includes trees as old as 700 years towering up to 130 feet.” On Wednesday, June 13, Blake Everson will offer a free presentation titled “Living with Cannibals: A Report from the Friendliest Place on Earth.” The presentation details Eerson’s journey into the rainforest of Papua New Guinea. Everson wasn’t sure if he would end up as a meal on a banana leaf plate but, after five return visits, he’s convinced that the people of the Kosua Tribe of Mount Bosavi are among the friendliest people on earth. tws

Local Ceramic Artist Makes Birdhouses Dianne Taylor has been a ceramic artist since the 1960s. Most of her work is functional, made for kitchen or table, but she also makes birdhouses. Clay is an ideal material for birdhouses because of its thermal qualities. It stays dry and cool when it’s hot outside, and stays warm when it’s cold outside. “I’ve made a birdhouse for the Birdhouse Festival for the Animal Shelter Dog Days of Summer auction the past couple of years,” says Taylor. “This year’s is in the shape of the head of a mountain bluebird, the state bird of Idaho.” The head of the bird was thrown on the wheel as a pot. When the pot was partly dried, it was removed from the wheel, turned on its side and pushed from the inside and outside to form the shape of the head. The beak and eyes were made separately, then attached. The birdhouse was painted with colored clay and decorated with incised lines to resemble feathers. (See attached images of the birdhouse as it was being made.) It will be fired in a kiln. The birds will enter through the beak, which will offer shelter as they feed their offspring within the nest inside the head. Dianne retired from teaching at the University of North Texas to move to Ketchum and open Taylormade Pottery in 2002. In addition to making work for her shop, Taylor teaches ceramics at the College of Southern

Birdhouse Project in progress.

Idaho in Hailey. “When I was asked to teach a short summer enrichment class there, I thought it would be fun to make hand-built clay birdhouses.” The class will meet from 6 to 9 p.m. on June 19, 21, 26 and 28. The class will be geared to those who have never worked in clay. (For information, call CSI at 788-2033).

Ketchum Arts Festival - Meet the Artist Series

Pam Gannon - Jewelry

P

am Gammon graduated from Western Washington University with a Bachelor of Arts degree with an emphasis on jewelry fabrication. Raised around skiing at Crystal Mountain, Wash., Gammon took off for Sun Valley for one ski season upon graduation. The rest, they say, is history. She met her husband Chris, owner of a successful recycled timbers company, and together they have lived in the Sun Valley area for over 30 years. Besides being a jewelry artisan, Pam has enjoyed many crafts—from custom picture framing for a local gallery, to creating floral hangings using real flowers she grows in her home and garden. Growing different varieties of hibiscus inside her studio has become a passion. Whatever it is she is involved in, Pam is surrounded by color and texture, which is reflected in her work. Over 15 years ago, after seeing the potential in using gemstone beads and wire wrapping, Pam delved into beaded designs, which allowed her to be at home with her youngest daughter. Always trying to stay ahead of the curve, she keeps in touch with what is current in the marketplace. Her design process evolves through trial and error until she is pleased with the end result. In her sun-filled studio

brimming with colorful gemstones and pearls, and with her Amazon parrot looking on, Pam creates one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces as if painting on a canvas. You can see her jewelry and flower hangings at the Ketchum Arts Festival, July 13-15, in Festival Meadows on Sun Valley Road. Stop by Booth #82. Contact Pam by e-mail at pckids2@cox.net or phone her at 208-720-6695. tws

briefs Farmers’ Markets to Open this Week The Wood River Farmers’ Markets will begin again for the season in Ketchum from 2-6 p.m. Tuesdays starting June 12 and in Hailey from 2-6 p.m. Thursdays.

There will also be prepared foods including pizzas, street tacos, chicken and rib barbecue, pasta dinners and sauces, Idaho wines, and skin care products. Organizer Kaz Thea said consumers

can look forward to receiving some produce earlier this year, thanks to the warmer, drier spring. The arts and crafts aspect will offer jewelry, wood products, photography, pottery, herbal salves, jams and jellies, honey, pies, baked goods including gluten-free bakery products, potted plants, hanging baskets, cut flower arrangements, toffees, hand-crafted rootbeer, hand-crafted ice cream, sausages and salami, placemats, banners, handmade clothing, napkins, wooden birdhouses and much more. Live music is scheduled weekly, and kids’ activities will be available.

This Week’s Walk Leads to Fairfield STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

hey look like lakes of blue alongside Highway 20 north of Mountain Home. But they’re actually fields of star-shaped flowering blue camas. They grow in moist meadows and that’s why they can be found in great profusion in the Centennial Marsh near Fairfield. But they can also be found along creeks on Dollar Mountain and other nearby areas in the Wood River Valley. Blue camas can stand as tall as two feet with grass-like leaves. The six-petal flowers, which range from pale lilac to deep purple, open a few at a time from the bottom upward revealing yellow stamens. The Shoshone and Bannock Indians used to harvest the bulbs in the fall, boiling them or roasting them in pits. Often, they’d dry them and pound them into flour with rock pestles. Added to bread and soup, the camas root would last them until the next spring when the hunting and gathering cycle started all over again.

Other times, the Indians would mix them with crickets that they had driven into a trench and then set sagebrush afire on top, roasting the mix. The bulbs contain an almost unbelievable amount of protein, with nearly three times the nutritional punch of an equal amount of liver. The Sawtooth Botanical Garden will conduct a field trip to go see the camas lily this Thursday as part of its weekly Wildflower Walk. This special walk, which will include bird spotting by local birder Poo Wright-Pulliam, will start at 9 a.m. at the garden south of Ketchum at Gimlet Road and Highway 75. It will include a visit to Faus and Bill Corlett’s Sandhill Farm, which is tucked away in the foothills near Fairfield. The farm uses wind and solar power and uses no chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Cost is $15 for garden members and $25 for non-members and includes lunch featuring food grown by the Corletts. Preregistration is required. To sign up, contact the Sawtooth Botanical Garden at 726-9358. tws

It’s Your Neck of the Woods BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR KSKI 103.7

L

os Angeles’ Silversun Pickups have made a name for themselves in the indie rock world since their 2005 debut EP Pikul. The quartet serves up arty, dreamy pop a la My Bloody Valentine without the shoe-gazing affectations that made the genre unapproachable to mainstream audiences. On their new release, Neck Of The Woods, Silversun Pickups have polished their craft and come up with a truly accessible, hook-filled album that starts with the staccato, brooding “Skin Graph” and builds on that ambiance throughout the

entire disc. Unlike bands like Smashing Pumpkins, to whom there is a direct musical correlation, Silversun Pickups don’t rely on soaring guitar solos and overwhelming vocals. Throughout Neck Of The Woods, the band leans back on atmospheric instrumentation and sonically transcendent vocals to emphasize their sound. With the help of Irish producer Garret “Jacknife” Lee, who’s worked with Weezer, R.E.M., Snow Patrol and The Cars, among many others, Silversun Pickups show they have come into their own;

movie review

their lyrics are less obtuse than on previous releases, the production is more slick, and the band seems to have settled into their own skin musically. Songs like “Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings),” “Here We Are (Chancer)” and “Simmer” all flow together like a musical daydream, though sometimes the lyrics are darker than your average daydream. If you’re a fan of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Spiritualized, The Flaming Lips, or Ride, Silversun Pickups’ Neck Of The Woods is right up your alley. Not to be missed. tws

The Punch line

The Marigold Hotel is a Geriatric Getaway BY JONATHAN KANE

T

he surprising thing about the new and entertaining film, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, is that an intelligent adult movie has been made in today’s marketplace, let alone released in the summer when we are bombarded with loud, buzzing product aimed at Hollywood’s favorite audience—people 18 to 29 years old. But the movie was made and released much to the delight of fans of great actors doing some great acting and a script that matches their talent. Directed by John Madden (Shakespeare In Love), with a screenplay by O Parker based on the novel, These Foolish Things, by Deborah Moggach, the film’s heart and power comes from the performances of some of Eng-

land’s great actors, especially Judi Dench, Tom Wilkerson, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy. Also excellent in supporting parts are Celia Imne, Penelope Wilton, Ronald Pickup and Dev Patel from Slumdog Millionaire as the befuddled owner of the crumbling Indian hotel that promises to be a refuge for the “elderly and beautiful.” If you’ve seen the trailer, you know the heart of the story. Seven Brits in their seventies have fallen on hard times and now need to outsource their retirements to Jaipur, India. Promised the heights of luxury in a brochure for the Marigold Hotel, they embark to find anything remotely like the hotel pictured. Some will adapt to the teeming streets of Jaipur (an eighth character in the film itself), and some will not. Most

Jon rated this movie

touching are the stories of Dench and Wilkerson. Dench is forced to find work in India after her late husband has squandered their life savings. Her growth and invincible spirit are the heart of the movie. But the most touching of the stories belongs to Wilkerson. Having grown up in Jaipur, he is in search of the lover that he left behind 40 years ago and that has haunted his life ever since. Heartbreaking in its emotion, Wilkerson delivers, as does the rest of this outstanding cast. tws

Tolerance Projects of Community School STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

I

t looked like a treasure box. But anyone peering through the keyhole of Sophie Nasvik’s seventh-grade tolerance project quickly realized that no treasure lay inside. Instead, the objects therein represented many of the ways man has been inhumane and intolerant of other men, from the treatment of Native Americans to slavery to the ethnic cleansing of World War II. “I wanted to show that you can look inside the box but you can’t get in and experience the feelings inside it,” said Nasvik. Nasvik was among a dozen and a half seventh-graders in Joel Vilinsky’s class at The Community School who displayed their tolerance projects last Wednesday at Rich and Jennifer Rush’s Art House in Hailey. Students’ projects covered a range of subjects, from animal testing to child labor. Dehner Figge featured peanuts with his project to show the contributions made by blacks, including George Washington Carver, a scientist, botanist, educator and inventor who developed a hundred products made from peanuts, including cosmetics and paints. “I’m so mad people would discriminate against people because of something they have no control over,” said Ziggy Slanetz as he recounted a time when blacks weren’t allowed to fly in the military. tws

ABOVE: Brygitte de la Cruz shows Jerry Flynt her project that focused on discrimination in sports. De la Cruz pointed out that boys were once discriminated against when it came to certain sports like gymnastics. Muslim women couldn’t even watch sports events in the past and many are still forbidden from taking part in athletic competitions today, she said. TOP RIGHT: Keene Morawitz put a military jacket in a black box to represent the segregation of blacks and gays in the military dating back to the Civil War.

Estate Planning BY LORI NURGE

A

popular misconception regarding estate planning is that only the wealthy need to be concerned about the transfer of their assets. In reality, everyone should determine their goals and objectives for the transfer of their estate. In the event of your death, having a plan that clearly documents how your assets are to be distributed and who is to receive those assets is extremely important. Through estate planning, you can ensure your wishes are carried out as you had intended. There are many types of estate planning tools, and your estate planning attorney can help you determine which tools are most appropriate for your situation. One valuable tool in estate planning is a trust. A trust is a set of instructions regarding how you would like your assets managed and then distributed to your beneficiaries. This legal document names an individual or entity (the “trustee”) who takes legal title to, and manages, the assets you transfer to the trust for the benefit of the persons (the “beneficiaries”) you specify in the trust document. Trusts are created in two ways. A trust may be created and implemented while you are alive (an intervivos or living trust), or it may be created through your will at your death (a testamentary trust). A living trust provides instructions for the management of your assets while you are alive, as well as for the management and distribution of your assets at your death. Typically, these types of trusts are revocable, meaning they can be amended or changed at any

time before your death. This provides flexibility, because if your personal or financial goals change, you can make changes to your trust. Because a testamentary trust is created through your will, it is effective only upon your death. As with all estates passing by will, the estate is subject to probate, and at the conclusion of the probate process, the assets are distributed to the trustee. In addition, because it is created at death, the testamentary trust cannot provide for the management of your assets during your lifetime and, therefore, cannot plan for incapacity. Your investment professional can work with your estate planning attorney and tax professional to help you gather information and implement your plan.

he Safe Routes To School program for Mountain Rides held several spring events in May, including the Bike/Walk To School Day on May 9 and the Bike/Walk To School Challenge Week May 21-24. The events saw a record number of participants from area schools. Mountain Rides’ bike and pedestrian coordinator Kaz Thea commented, “I was so pleased with the high level of participation and enthusiasm from the elementary schools and The Community

School. It’s such a great way for kids to get the benefits of active transportation and families can feel good about leaving the car at home. They get health benefits, better air quality, less congestion at the schools, independence and self-confidence, and even neural development benefits just by getting out and using their feet or pedals to get to school!� Over 950 kids from all of the county’s elementary schools, the middle school and The Community School came out to ride or walk to school and the Bike/Walk To

School Challenge Week had 360 kids participate for all or part of the week. Mountain Rides gave away numerous prizes for those who participated from each school in the challenge week including Camelbacks, bike pumps, bike gloves, helmets, bike horns, and gift certificates to Baskin Robbins and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. The grand prize was a new Specialized mountain bike that retails for $480. The grand-prize winner was Azia Matthieu, a third-grade student at Hailey Elementary. tws

How Much Does a Cloud Weigh? BY ANN PARRY, LOCAL MATH TUTOR

A

fter reading Alysha’s Oclassen’s article, “What is True Wellness?� in the May 16 edition of The Weekly Sun, I accepted her “challenge,� widened my eyes and looked up to find something amazing. Up in the sky were big puffy cumulus clouds. One formed the shape of a dog eating ice cream, another a dragon chasing an elephant balancing on a ball. They were truly amazing. Remembering a quote by the artist Bob Miller, “How would you suspend 500,000 pounds of water in air with no visible means of support?� (answer: Build a cloud), I decided to do the math to determine if this could possibly be correct. How much does a cloud weigh? Even on sunny, cloudless days, the sky is filled with water vapor, which we cannot see. This water vapor becomes visible when the air cools and condenses onto tiny particles that are suspended in the air, much like steam condenses on a bathroom mirror. These water

molecules continue to grow, increasing their diameter 100 times, their surface area 10,000 times and their volume 1 million times. The larger surface area of each water droplet reflects just enough light to form a cloud. Cumulus clouds, or thunderheads, contain approximately 1 million cubic meters of water droplets weighing in at 2.2 billion pounds. To put this into perspective, a large male African elephant weighs an average of 11,000 pounds. So a cumulus cloud weighs as much as 200,000 African elephants. Now that is a big circus! So why can clouds “float� in the sky and elephants cannot? Density. Water vapor remains suspended in the sky because it is lighter than air, unlike a massive elephant. When air cools and condenses, water molecules grow to form water droplets. When these larger-sized water droplets become heavier than air, they fall to earth; thus, rain. Fortunately, it is millions of “heavy� water droplet falling on your head rather than 200,000 tws elephants!

Zenergy Health Club is sponsoring a two-day community fundraiser this Saturday and Sunday, June 9 and 10. Swims must be completed between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. either day. Recreational swimmers, adult lap swimmers, children in swim lessons, swim team members, triathletes, master swimmers, and families are encouraged to swim for this important cause. Swimmers raise money by swimming lengths of the pool within a 90-minute time frame. Swimmers collect pledges from family, neighbors, friends or businesses.

Paddy McIvoy cans a variety of tomatoes, including blends and this yellow brandywine. “Every year I find something new I can’t believe I lived without,� he says.

SPRING PLANT SALE

The Sawtooth Botanical Garden will hold its Spring Plant Sale from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the garden. The member preview sale starts at 9 a.m. The sale will feature waterwise flowers and shrubs, including penstemon, Echinacea, sedum and evergreens and Paddy McIlvoy’s organic heirloom tomatoes. Garden experts will be available onsite.

TIPS TO GROW YOUR OWN

The tomato-growing gospel, according to Paddy McIlvoy: Planting: Hailey residents can plant June 1-7. Those living north of Hailey should wait until June 15. Soil preparation: Carey residents who live close to lava beds should put dolomite lime in soil because basaltic soil is calciumpoor. Ketchum residents don’t need calcium McIlvoy adds 1 to 2 inches of organic compost to his tomato beds every year, mixing it into the top 8 inches of soil. Plant for the sun: Plant rows running east to west so each of the rows has a south side that will collect solar heat. Dig deep: Dig deep when planting plants—most electric and gas tillers don’t get deep enough. Tomatoes set roots deeply and wide and the deeper you plant them the better they’re going to grow. McIlvoy grows his seedlings 18 inches tall and plants them 10 inches underground. Spacing: Space plants at least 18 inches apart (2 feet apart, if you can), especially if they’re in an area that gets a lot of sun. Temperature: Mountain residents can benefit from either black plastic Visquene from the hardware store or IRT-100 mulch from Harris Seeds. Lay the mulch tightly on the rows— the more mulch-to-soil contact, the better. Watering: Drip systems are the best for even watering. Soak plants once a week until they’re damp, and no more. Error on the side of underwatering rather than overwatering. Water im-

mediately if you see signs of wilting. Fertilization: Fertilize once every other week with a fullstrength solution of Alaska Fish Fertilizer and Monty’s Joy Juice Root and Bloom. Once the plants start to flower, drop the fish fertilizer. Suggested tomatoes for growers from Hailey south: Bianca Grande. This light creamy yellow beefsteak tomato has a tie-dye-like neon pink swirling through the center of the flesh. “It’s my favorite flavored tomato—very few make it to the house because I stuff them in my face right off the vine,� said McIlvoy. “It’s not the most productive plant, but when it tastes like that, who cares?� Sandul Moldovan. A Russian woman fleeing Stalinism brought the seeds of this tomato with her to Pennsylvania. It grows like gangbusters. “We call it ‘Godzilla’ because it grows so big it shades everything around it as it pumps out its tomatoes,� said McIlvoy. “It’s almost naturally slightly salty.� Easiest tomato to grow north of Hailey: Hidalgo tomato, also sometimes known as Matt’s Wild Cherry. This tomato was the one Columbus discovered when he arrived in the New World. The cherry tomatoes are “a flavor explosion� in the mouth. Stupice. This Czechoslovakian tomato takes just 50 days to ripen. The tomato, which has been proven to have great success as far north as East Fork, is “pretty good tasting.� Subarctic 20. This Cold War tomato was developed in the 1960s by those stationed at U.S. missile silos in Greenland. The tomato has an intense red color and is small but delicious. Maya and Sions. This tomato was bred by a British Columbia man using the Brandywine tomato, which McIlvoy calls “a poster child for heirloom tomatoes.� The fruit emerges early; the flavor is balanced between sweet and acidic. “We’ve even been able to grow it in the shady alley at Backwoods Mountain Sports in Ketchum,� McIlvoy said.

plastic mulch. Besides, tomatoes don’t like hot weather—they’re sterilized at 92 degrees. That’s why I’d see a lull in my tomatoes for a few weeks when I lived in Picabo.â€? McIlvoy frequents Internet sites like tomatodepot.proboards. com where the most serious tomato nerds hang out, including a botanist who has grown 5,000 of the 7,000 known tomato varieties in the world. “Serious tomato nerds are an adventuresome group. They have a lot of willingness to share and the Internet has made it so easy to trade seeds, even overseas,â€? McIlvoy said. ““Regular gardeners ask questions like, ‘Can I get my Big Boy hybrid to grow bigger with Miracle-Gro?’ These guys ask questions like, ‘Can we smuggle such and such out of Czechoslovakia?’ â€? Right now the focus is on the former Soviet Union. “The Russians really like their tomatoes and until the fall of Communism we Westerners had no access to their tomatoes. Now, people are going on collecting missions for tomatoes that were grown by six generations of a family in Siberia who chose which seeds to save as a reflection of their taste. These are prized flavors,â€? said McIlvoy, who is also experimenting this summer with 13 heirloom varieties of green chilies and 21 varieties of watermelon, including one from northern Iran that had been thought to be extinct. Bellevue resident Kathryn Goldman, who has tested some of McIlvoy’s “crazy hybrids,â€? says the experience has changed her tomato-eating habits. “We have one variety that we call the Queen Maya because it produces an insane amount of tomatoes off one plant,â€? she said. “Growing some of his plants is an adventure—you get an amazing variety when you go into this rabbit hole. And you’re always wondering what they’re going to be like.â€? McIlvoy opened his garden for his neighbors to glean last summer after he’d canned 72 quarts and made 40 pounds of ketchup. But he says he’ll never tire of finding that new variety each year that he can’t believe he lived without. “It would really mess me up to have to go back to the bland tomatoes they produce for shipping to supermarkets. There’s nothing like a truly fresh, vineripened, straight-out-of-the-garden tomato,â€? he said. “Take this Lillian’s Yellow heirloom. It has a creamy texture and it’s just an amazing tomato to slice and put on a sandwich. And this new Pink Furry Boar with creamy yellow stripes—people say it’s one of the all-time greats‌â€?

Dress Your Greens Vinaigrette Dressing

BY MARGOT VAN HORN

I

have a singing green finch named Bandit because he has a little mask on. He sings prettier than any canary and loves his greens. In his salad bowl I place lettuce, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage, all of which he loves. He knows what’s good for him and so do I. I often make myself a huge salad bowl of raw chopped vegetables, including the same foods as Bandit eats, plus some other goodies like onions and anchovies—either the more pricey mild white kind or the normal stronger-tasting variety. The anchovies, onions and this really yummy vinaigrette dressing I don’t give to Bandit; however, I sure do enjoy them for myself. Now that our Farmers’ Markets have commenced, it’s a perfect time to pick up ultra-fresh produce to accompany this dressing. tws

(Makes about 1 ½ cups) In a blender put the following and blend at high for about 20 seconds: 1/4 C. red wine vinegar 1/4 C. balsamic vinegar 1/4 C. lemon juice 1 C. olive oil 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 tsp. dry mustard 6 stuffed olives (I use my martini green olives with pimento) 1 Tbsp. drained capers 2 green onions coarsely cut or 2 Tbsp. chopped regular onion 1/4 C. either/or combo of chopped parsley and cilantro 2 cloves of garlic (either put in blender with above or chop fine and put in dressing after blended) Pour into a jar, cover, and store in refrigerator. To un-gel from refrigeration, place bottle in a cup of warm water. This vinaigrette is also very good as a dipping sauce for cooked and chilled artichokes.

Mary Kimball VALLEY TRAINER PROFILES BY MIA EDSALL

M

ary Kimball grew up in Michigan. As a child, she rode horses in 4-H and, at 13, was invited to ride show jumpers. After college, she started a restaurant in Michigan. But horses were calling, so she became a professional through certifications and apprenticeships. This lead her to jobs like starting colts in Wyoming, riding saddle seat for an Arabian horse trainer in Arizona, and working in Ireland for a show jumper. After completing the British Horse Society Exam, Mary came to the Sun Valley Horseman’s Center where she met Kenny Kimball, a local Western horse trainer. At that time Mary co-founded the Idaho Dressage and Eventing Association (IDEA).

Kenny and Mary started Bigwood Equitation Center north of Ketchum. When housing development came there, they moved to 27 Rope’s End Road south of Bellevue. Mary galloped racehorses for Kenny for 18 years before returning to her specialty, which was dressage. In 2001 she spent six months with Lilo Fore, known as “the trainer’s trainer,” in California. Mary is a USDF Level 2 certified trainer and takes working students in addition to Western riders and horses. The Kimballs offer dinner rides in the mountains, camps and lessons, and training for all disciplines. Mary also breeds Hanoverian horses and Australian shepherd dogs. You can reach Mary at marykimball@hotmail.com or call 208-309-0659. tws

Fishing R epoRt

The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR JUne 6, 2012 By: Jim sanTa

Welcome to June and what should be an outstanding month of early season fish- i n g . The nice warm weather we experienced late last week and through the weekend had some interesting and somewhat opposing effects on our local waters. on the Big Wood we saw a substantial increase in waters flows most likely due to the fresh snow over memorial weekend. i suspect this to be relatively short lived and the flows to begin steadily dropping towards more fishable levels. While some fishable water can currently be found with some exploring, it’s definitely limited. Larger stonefly and green drake nymphs will suffice in the right water. it’s my hope that in a couple of weeks we’ll see reasonable water levels coincide with the emergence of the green drakes and we’ll have some great fishing on “the Wood”. The big news this week is the outstanding fishing Silver Creek has provided in the last week. i won’t feel like i’m letting the cat out of the bag by announcing the arrival of the brown drakes. The generally warmer weather kicked off the drakes a bit of the early side with some great fishing the past few nights. If you haven’t been a part of this action yet, you better get on it as its pretty short lived. The daytime fishing in the conservancy waters has also been very good. We’ve seen some nice p.m.d. hatches from mid morning on and the fish have been pretty receptive with eager takes of well presented flies. Damsel fly nymphs and beetles when the breeze comes up have also produced a lot of strikes. All-in-all the whole Silver Creek system has been fishing very well and is the place to focus your efforts right now. The Big Wood should come around my mid June and we can look forward to a great season ahead. enjoy your time on the water and be safe!

Pioneer Montessori Stages Renaissance Faire STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he Pioneer Montessori School turned back the clock 400 to 700 years last week as students and teachers celebrated the Renaissance. Renaissance artists showed how they ground stone and clay into paint as parents perused the children’s interpretations of daVinci’s famous “Mona Lisa� and “Lady with an Ermin.� Students put on a Punch and Judy show, along with “Pandora� and other plays. And they danced to a tinwhistle and tambourine under a canopy held up by sword point as snow showers covered the ground in white. The faire was the culmination of a month-long study in which the students focused on how people in that time living in the conditions they lived in provided for such needs as food and clothing, said teacher Dwina Noesbar. Students learned how Renaissance thinkers dispelled the notion that the solar system revolved around the earth. And they learned about inventions like microscopes, telescopes, the flush toilet, the printing press and even eight-barreled machine guns that came out of the Renaissance, said teacher Carolan McAvoy. “They learned how the things they do today wouldn’t have been possible without the Renaissance,� she said—like the printing press. “They learned how people had to work together to make things happen—that it takes a village.� Wealthy men had short hair and clean faces and poor men had long hair and dirty faces, said Devon McVoy. And people only washed a few times a year,

even if they were wealthy, added Laura Daves. “I would be covered in dirt because they only washed them a few times a year,� said teacher Mary Poppen, pointing to her olive green peasant dress. “The wealthy women wore 17 different layers—that’s why they had others dress them.� Ethan Daves and Bryn Downey kept busy as doctors, mixing potions made of candy worms. A lot of people tried to cash in as doctors during The Plague, wearing masks with beaks filled with herbs. But most died from The Plague, they said. The people in the Renaissance also believed that touching a coin that a noble had touched would cure them, they added. Georgia Weekes and Isabella Cronin showed off vials of perfumes they’d made from crushing wildflowers. And Ayden McGonigal and Esmee Verheijen told how the art was comprised of frescos made by applying paint to wet plaster. Works attributed to the Masters were often done by apprentices following the Masters’ ideas, they added. Students researching the food of the time prepared a prime rib, leg of lamb, peasant soup made of bone broth and beef-barley stew for the upper class. The wealthy people ate peacock, swan, mutton and rabbit, said Olivia Gove. And everyone ate a lot of custards and gingerbread for desserts. “They didn’t always eat what they made because it didn’t taste good,� added Lyla Maxwell. Bakers in the upper school made authentic gingerbread, which resembled a candy made of honey coated with bread crumbs and ginger. The custard resembled a bar cookie more

than flan. “I love cooking with the kids because it uses science and math and the kids are so curious about it,� said Jane Timberlake, whose children Zoe and Sam attend the school. “They were surprised to find that they had no potatoes, broccoli or tomatoes. It was empowering to let the kindergarteners peel and cut the carrots. And, while we were a little worried about letting the kids measure out the recipes they’d quadrupled, it turned out fine.� tws

BLAINE COUNTY DIVA

Marsha Riemann, Clerk and More

Sudoku: Gold

STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

here was a time when nothing happened in Blaine County that Marsha Riemann didn’t know about. As Blaine County clerk, she was often the first to know which Hollywood star was buying a mansion near Sun Valley and who was updating their passport to travel around the world. “I recorded deeds and mortgages so I always knew who was buying or selling a home. I knew who was getting married. And I even learned about the property people owned in the 1880s, thanks to the people researching their genealogies,” she said. Riemann will be honored for her contributions to the Valley by being inducted into the Blaine County Historical Museum’s 2012 Heritage Court on June 24. Riemann had never laid eyes on the Wood River Valley when she moved here from Southern California with her husband Charlie in 1971. “We had been married a short time and our friends moved here. My husband told them, ‘Look for a job for me,’ and they called a month after they got here,” said Riemann, recounting how her husband started Charlie’s Heating and Refrigeration. “Coming through the desert, I thought: What have we gotten ourselves into? But when we crested Timmerman Hill, it was beautiful.” The Riemanns rented a twostory farmhouse on the Wood River Ranch a couple miles south of Bellevue. Bellevue then had a population of 500—1,800 fewer than its 2010 census. Riemann helped out with the cattle and horses as she raised her three sons, the oldest of whom was just two when they moved here. “I had never, never, never done any of that,” she said. “Coming from California, where I had family in close proximity, I was lonely at first. But I met Mary Ann Knight, who lived nearby and I took care of her kids while she worked for Dr. Richards, and then we’d play pinochle on Saturday nights.” It was Knight’s brother—former Blaine County Sheriff Orville Drexler—who gave Riemann her first job. She worked in the sheriff’s office until 1976, at a time when Drexler was putting a countywide dispatch center and 911 system into place. The calls then usually involved rounding up horses that had strayed too close to Highway 75 or someone’s son who was four-wheeling in one of the canyons, Riemann said. In 1976 she went to work for the Blaine Soil Conservation District. She snowshoed near Galena Summit and dropped into other areas by helicopter to collect snow and water data. “We’d take snowmachines

out Fish Creek near Carey, and often a lot of other people would accompany us,” she recalled. “They’d go up the hills and gun down the hills, keeping their eyes on us all the time.” Riemann then joined the Blaine County Recorder’s Office where she recorded documents and worked on payroll. Finally, she ran for office as Blaine County Clerk in 1999, a position she held until she retired in 2007. “We had a close-knit group. One summer everyone went horse riding at Mormon Hill and spent the night. And I loved that old courthouse. I went in there yesterday to do some research and I was in there for two-anda-half hours. It’s historic, it’s unique. They went through four remodels while I was there and the last time they really tried to make it as close as possible to the original.” In between traveling with her sister Sandy Christiansen to visit family in California and cathedrals in England, Riemann continues to keep busy, volunteering with the Upper Big Wood River Grange and St. Charles Catholic Church. She served on the Bellevue City Council in the mid-1990s when the council was busy putting in sewers, curbs and gutters. “I always liked Bellevue and

Hailey without the curbs and gutters—I thought the dirt roads gave the towns a unique flavor. But, as the area grows, things have to change.” Riemann has also lent her accounting skills to the Hailey Cemetery Board and Blaine Manor where she serves as president of the board. “I love numbers. I think it’s a gift,” said Riemann, who attended El Camino Junior College in Torrance, Calif. Riemann says she’s praying for a resolution to the question of whether to expand Blaine Manor or have the non-profit Croy Canyon Ranch Foundation or a for-profit agency build a new care facility. “Blaine Manor has received seven awards for the care it provides in the last nine years,” she pointed out. “Its residents have the best possible care and I want to see a solution that continues to provide that level of care.” tws

MEET THE DIVAS

Marsha Riemann was chosen for the Heritage Court by the Kiwanis Club. The Hailey woman will be inducted into the court at 3 p.m. June 24 at The Liberty Theatre, along with Bellevue’s Mary Ann Knight, Ketchum’s Ann Christensen and Carey’s Mary Peterson. The ceremony, which will feature entertainment, is open to the public.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I consider myself a pretty sharp guy. When I wanted to sell my car, I was smart enough to clean it up before the sale. Besides a quick car wash, I spent a few hours vacuuming and cleaning the inside and out. I even went an extra step and hired someone to steam clean the engine. It made the car look like new. Pretty good, considering it was 8 years old. When the one and only guy who answered my ad came to look at my car, I thought it was sold. He even commented on how clean it was. Then came the shocker. He told me he wouldn't make an offer because it was TOO clean! What was he thinking? Can a car be too clean or is this guy just plain crazy?

With the amount of road dust that accumulates, it's likely that we have all been guilty of having a dirty car. But just how dusty is your car? An International Car Wash Association survey found that nearly 32 million car owners had "Wash Me" scribbled on their car at least once. Those same people seem to be spreading the pattern. Nearly 25% admit to writing the message on someone else's car as well.

Although my friend and his wife bicker like an old married couple, they still love to take car trips together. Recently they bought a new minivan, fully loaded with all the options, to make their trips more enjoyable. When they first came to visit, they couldn't wait to show off all the features. I sat in the driver's seat to check it out. "This car has everything," I said looking at all the buttons. "Automatic door locks, automatic windows‌" "And if I get lost," my friend interrupted. "My wife automatically yells at me."

Soaking Wet sion. A clean car will typically appeal to more buyers. However, steam cleaning the engine may have been too much. Carry: On an eight-year-old vehicle, a perfectly clean engine raises concerns that a seller is trying to hide something. Most people would expect to see some grease and grime under the hood. In fact, that's probably what your buyer was looking for. Cash: Since you cleaned the engine, there was no way for him to tell if there were any oil leaks or signs of a problem around the engine. Although many people barely know how to open the hood, others like to see the engine

in its present condition. Carry: However, I wouldn't worry. Your buyer may be the minority. Many people would love to have a good running car that has been cleaned inside and out. Cash: A concern, though, is why only one person responded to your ad. It's possible that your asking price for the car was too high. Although the car may look like new, it's still eight years old and should be priced accordingly. Carry: If you do that, I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding an interested party. After all, we all need a clean car to fill with our empty coffee cups.

We all make mistakes, even in the car wash. According to a recent survey of car wash customers, 11% didn't put their car into neutral and 9% missed the track with their car tires. The more damaging mistakes included 29% who admitted to leaving their antenna up, 9% not closing the window, 5% not closing the door and 2% not shutting their sunroof. The most embarrassing, however, are the 2% (about 4 million car owners) who purposely open the window wondering what would happen! •
