ant to know what all the clucking’s about?

The Sawtooth Botanical Garden is pairing up with the Hailey Sustainability Center to offer a City Chicken tour de Coup from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday.

Tour-goers will learn how to build a chicken coop and maintain it and how to feed and care for chickens.

Eggs from backyard chickens have seven times more beta carotene, significantly more omega-3 fatty acids,

25 percent more vitamin E, a third more vitamin A, a third less cholesterol and a quarter less saturated fat than factory farm eggs, said Dick Springs, a Picabo farmer who runs the Wood River Sustainability Center.

Springs adds that chickens even make good pets.

“For someone who’s never kept animals before, chickens are a great place to start,” he said. “You’ll find yourself turning off the TV to watch them.”

The tour runs from noon to 3 p.m. starting at the Sustainability Center, 308 S. River St. in Hailey. It costs

his year, Don Leonard celebrates his 50th anniversary as a retail entrepreneur who puts himself and his busiby: JIMA ness acumen Rice, Ph.D. on the line for customers. With his partner, Kathy Mallane, he runs Ketchum Kitchens, a gourmet kitchenware store that first opened in Ketchum in 1994.

At the time, Don was a Chateau Drug partner. The store had a small but growing line of high-end kitchenware and he decided that a new store would fill an empty retail niche for the more luxurious end of homemaking items. He was right. Starting at 800 square feet, Ketchum Kitchens is now four times its original size and chock full of well-priced homemaker delights. It sells everything from Italian handcrafted tableware to gourmet foods, top-branded cookware to elegant picnic baskets, multitudinous cookbooks to state-of-the-art utensils, including the largest knife collection in Idaho.

Don and Kathy base their business model on three fundamentals. First, they provide a wide variety of high-quality merchandise at

Leading the way J

uan Martinez, Wood River High School senior, is a modby: JONathan est young KANE man with a long resumĂŠ. With leadership in three sports and a world consciousness shaped by a recent trip to the Middle East, Martinez has a bright future ahead of him.

Born in the small Alaskan town of Newstuyahawk, his parents, both teachers, decided to move to the Wood River Valley. “They wanted me to grow up in a liberal, diverse place,� he said. His mother is the principal at Bellevue Elementary and was the vice principal at Wood River. He attended Bellevue Elementary, Hailey Elementary, the Middle School and then the High School. “Alaska was really isolated.

There were only 400 people in our village. It all revolved around fishing and was really tight-knit. But it’s the same thing in this Valley. Here the community really wraps around you and you feel that people are interested in what’s going on with you and your family.

I love it here and think about coming back to be a coach or to teach. It’s so beautiful and so supportive. I’m a little nervous about moving on but I knew I’d be tested by going to Israel and seeing how I’d do. I exceeded my expectations on how I’d adjust.�

In the fall Martinez will be attending Northern Arizona University. “It’s like Sun Valley on steroids,� he said. “You’re going from two lanes to three and four. It’s Arizona, but Flagstaff is 7,000 feet up, has its’ own ski mountain, and there are pine trees everywhere. Las Vegas is three hours away and Phoenix is two. I’ll also be going with my best friend and hope to play club baseball. Wood River was a great experience and training ground for me. It offers a lot in addition to academics. If not for Wood River, I would have never gone to the Middle East. There are a lot of great teachers there who are not only knowledgeable but are personable as well. As for the future, I am going into education and hope to be a teacher.

At Wood River, Martinez is a part of the Teaching Academy. “We go into the elementary schools and intern with teachers and get a real feel for it. Building relationships with kids is a lot of fun, and empowering them for the love of education. We get to show them that they can do whatever they want because that is what America is all about.�

Martinez was recently named Citizen of the Year by the three civic Chambers. “I was very proud. It was based on being involved in the community, being a three-sport athlete and by doing community service with the Big Brothers-Big Sisters program.

Basically, it’s being personable to the people I meet and leaving a good impression on them. I also work as a host at the airport and I’m involved as a sports coach at several youth camps. I love community service. It makes me feel good about myself by giving back to the community. The way I was raised it was always expected of me. It’s kind of what you’re supposed to do and I’ve done it throughout my life.�

Martinez is also a big part of

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been like that with my class since I moved here. I like baseball the most because of the mental aspects to the game. A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate that and they probably havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played it. Baseball fans are real sports fans. They understand situations and what pitches to throw and that there are innumerable strategies to every pitch thrown.â&#x20AC;?

This past summer Juan traveled to Jordan and Israel as a guest of the State Department to learn about the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I expected is not what I discovered. Jordan was much more liberal and low-key. Israel was very tense, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understandable. I see the conflict much more now.

You realize thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no simple solution to it. The history and the hatred is so deep-rooted they cannot get past it. The people I met are my friends and I want to see good things in their future.

Potentially there is no future or end to the war until one side is demolished. There is hope in new generations and with programs like this we can develop a new twp thought process.â&#x20AC;?

When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I’ve never tried before.

Wednesday 6.9.10

It’s Time to Paint the State

By Megan Ronk, Executive Director, The Idaho Meth Project

S

ummer is almost here.

That means teens will be out of school and they (and their parents) will be looking for some meaningful activities to get involved in, and that will keep them busy. So what better way to start the summer break than by registering to create a personal work of art for the Idaho Meth Project’s Paint the State contest, a statewide public art contest that will leverage the creativity and passion of Idaho’s teens to communicate the risks of methamphetamine use. It’s a great summertime activity and the June 18 registration deadline is right around the corner.

More than $135,000 in prizes will be awarded through Paint the State, including $3,000 in every county in Idaho. All county first-place winners will be eligible for a grand prize of $5,000.

All prizes are funded through private contributions from the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health, the Idaho Hospital Association, and Monsanto.

The contest is open to teens ages 13-18, and the deadline for registration is June 18, 2010, at 11:59 p.m., MDT. Winners will be announced at an event with Governor and First Lady Otter at the Idaho State Capitol on Friday, August 6, 2010.

The Idaho Meth Project’s

Paint the State contest was inspired by the Montana Meth Project’s Paint the State contest in 2006, which mobilized teens across the state in what became the largest public art contest in history, with more than 660 original pieces of artwork created. Idaho’s Paint the State will extend the messages of the Idaho Meth Project’s prevention campaign at a grassroots level directly into communities.

Idaho teens can use the “Meth: Not Even Once” logo, tagline, or other anti-meth themes, a little inspiration, and a lot of imagination to create works of art that will start conversations and encourage dialogue in our communities about the dangers of meth use. The contest will give teens an opportunity to have fun, be creative and get involved with an important and meaningful cause. Our goal is to see hundreds of innovative public art displays across the state reminding all of us of the dangers of trying meth even once.

Idaho First Lady Laurie Otter, along with Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter, was the founder of the Idaho Meth Project and is also a member of the national Meth Project Foundation Board of Directors. She has been talking to teens throughout the state about Paint the State, encouraging them to register.

“Thanks to the coordinated efforts of law enforcement, treat-

ment providers and prevention programs, we have made amazing progress in Idaho’s fight against meth—meth use among teens is down by 52 percent since the Idaho Meth Project was launched two years ago,” says First Lady Otter. “Teens all over Idaho have been a part of our success. They have shared their opinions, and reached out to friends and family to spread the message about the dangers of meth. Now, Paint the State will give all Idaho teens a chance to show us their creativity and have their voices heard. The Governor and I look forward to seeing the amazing projects we know they will create.”

Now is the perfect time for teens to register for the contest and start planning and creating their Paint the State artwork submission. Hundreds of teens have already registered and we expect to see the “Not Even Once” message on everything from fences and the sides of barns, to storefront windows to a variety of vehicles. Teens can enter individually or as part of a group. The possibilities are endless. Find out more, including ideas and tips to help teens create their best entry, at www.

PaintTheStateIdaho.org. And don’t forget to register by the June 18 deadline.

Do detergent choices make your head spin?

N

on-phosphate laundry detergents are so prevalent today that it’s hard to mess up by buying one of the old phosphate-containing bad boys, but there are still bewildering choices to make: “green” versions, familiar big brands, liquids, powders, clothes brighteners, with or without scents and dyes, and HE (high efficiency) detergents. How can we choose the best compromise for our clothing, our pocketbooks, and our environment?

First of all, read. Read the washer manual and use the recommended type for your machine. Read the product label and select one that functions well in cold water (some powders need warm to dissolve). Choose a simple (and thus less expensive) everyday detergent. Some of the “green” store brand detergents

are among the best rated by consumer groups. Borax is a great laundry additive for a heavyduty cleaning boost, especially in hard water areas.

You can protect our resources and your clothing through these simple actions: Always wash a full load, but don’t overload.

Don’t wash clothes that aren’t dirty (hang them up, hint hint!)

Measure carefully; don’t eyeball it, because those huge lids on liquid detergents will lead you down the garden path. Extra soap doesn’t mean extra clean.

Pre-treat stains: a squirt of dish soap, restroom hand soap, or even bar soap will do wonders if rubbed in immediately.

Wash in cold water as much as possible.

Now, was that so hard? twp

briefs ERC and Hunger Coalition fill bellies and minds with Wild Lunches this summer How do bats find their dinner?

What is the best material for a beaver to build a dam? At the Environmental Resource Center’s Wild Lunch, your child can find the answers, explore the wild world in which we live—and more. We create a fun atmosphere of games, art, and nature education for children.

Last year, the ERC’s Wild Lunch joined The Hunger Coalition’s Lunch Connections Program—a free lunch program for Blaine County children.

Lunch Connections is designed to bridge the gap from when school lets out to the beginning of summer school. The ERC’s Wild Lunch Program

strives to create a day-camp atmosphere where children can learn about nature and have fun. Times are tough for people living in the Valley, and we want to ensure as many children receive meals as need them—and enjoy nature at the same time!

Children ages 1 to 18 are welcome to come for FREE nutritious meals and nature activities. Wild Lunch runs Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 15th through July 8th, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. There is no need to qualify or be enrolled in summer school—everyone’s invited. For more information, call the ERC at 726-4333.

Chapter 16

W

hen the kids were at last asleep, Max asked me what possessed me to read â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Catcher in the Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and was I enjoying it. It seemed odd to me after the interesting and exciting day weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d all just spent together that he would focus on my current reading material.

I explained to Max that I had decided to read the book after Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard its author, J.D. Salinger, had died earlier this year. I was aware of the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existence, I had just never considered reading it before now. I was fortunate in that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d found a used copy of it at Iconoclast Books in Ketchum.

Since I was only about halfway through it, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly sure what I thought about it, except that I enjoyed the way it felt, as if Holden Caulfield was speaking directly to me through Salingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style of writing and that his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; really did sound like a fifteen-year-old boy. It also seemed to me as if Holden was struggling with life and his perception of the innocence of youth as opposed to the phoniness of adulthood. Max seemed satisfied with my answer although he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond to my book review.

I should have been as exhausted as the kids were, but I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. A year ago I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have imagined a scenario that put me at Trapezoid Lake under

a wool blanket sitting next to Max Rudolph gazing into a dancing campfire under a million and one stars. As the two of us sat side by side, each submerged in our own thoughts, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but reflect on how Max and I had become (if nothing more) good friends over the past school year.

Although I truly enjoyed teaching, having Max Rudolph to look forward to every school day was an added bonus I would surely miss with school letting out for summer vacation soon. While I was wondering, privately, how the summer interim would affect our friendship, Max leaned over to me and just as it appeared he was going to kiss me, his Jeep shattered the quiet with a, â&#x20AC;&#x153;BEEP, BEEP, BEEPING.â&#x20AC;?

Max had accidentally sat on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;panicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; button of his car keys.

Needless to say, every last child was now abruptly awake and poor Bud didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do but bark along with the annoying BEEPING until Max finally dug the car keys out of his pocket and hit the panic button again to make the annoying racket stop. Once silence had been restored, I looked around the campfire at about two dozen pairs of wide-awake eyes lit with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nextâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; light of anticipation, to which I could only suggest, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How about some sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mores?â&#x20AC;? twp

Know your government

By Shea Goitiandia, Blaine County Representative

Recently, six delegates from Blaine County went to Boise for the Know Your Government Conference (KYG). Those girls were Mary Petzke, Harli Kimball, McKylie Mitchel, Sage Howe, Brooke Emery, myself, Shea Goitiandia, and Chrystal Tullis. For me The KYG conference first started in Shoshone on Saturday where I was picked up by the bus that was to take those from district III to Boise for the conference. It was a very long ride, once everyone was picked up, to Boise.

In our district meetings we learned what to wear when, how to act during the conference, and how the conference was going to go. Celia R. Gould was introduced to us at dinner and she spoke about what she does for a living and everything she has helped with throughout her life.

The next morning Barry Lockard talk to us about a project we can all help with, Operation: Military Kids, which benefits those kids who have parents or whose parents were in the military. Next came orientations for the conference and then for the legislative and judicial workshops. We then had lunch and first year delegates had a fair where they learned about the many different activities they can do. Second year delegates went to a different room and filled backpacks with many different items for the kids whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had family in the military. At 2:00pm we all got on the busses and went to our workshops in the Capitol building for the legislative or the Supreme Court building for the judicial workshop.

I was in the judicial workshop with Mary Petzke, Brooke Emery, and Chrystal Tullis and we got to tour the Supreme Court building. We learned about the Idaho court system and what you have to do as a judge or a

regular person for a trial. After that we prepared ourselves for our mock trials we were going to have the next day. Then we went back to the hotel and wrote thank you cards to all the people who contributed to the conference to help make it possible. those who wanted to come back the next year for reporter or planning committee members had interviews. Afterwards there was a dance we could go to.

Monday morning everyone got up and got ready to eat breakfast with Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legislators and Judges. I ate breakfast with Wendy Jaquet one of Blaine Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislators. Then we headed to the Ada County Courthouse. Those who were in the judicial workshop were broken into groups for the mock trials and were assigned a court room.

Once we were in our court rooms a few lawyers talked to us about what to do. The lawyers who talked to us helped the delegates who were to be the lawyers in my group with their questions. Once they were ready the trial began.

I was the Clerk/Bailiff in my group so I wrote notes down about the victim, defendant, and witnesses, and I also swore in each person who went to the stand to testify. The trial was over how Stephanie Pullman (victim) got hurt and kissed Brian Marshall (defendant) because he forced her to. The judge of my group, Paula Hendrickson, found the defendant guilty. Once we were done we met back up with the legislator delegates and took district pictures in front of the capitol building.

Then the reporters introduced themselves to us and told us what they did during the conference. They then showed us a video of the conference that they made. When that was over we all said goodbye to new or old friends from other districts and boarded the buses for home. My fabulous KYG experience this year ended where it began, back in Shoshone.

lejandro Rivas and Maria Laura Bustamante spent last winter in Sun Valley working for Sun Valley Resort before returning to their home of Lima, Peru, when their visas expired.

On Friday they’ll make a return journey at Sun Valley’s request, making a round-trip journey of more than 9,000 miles to work for one evening.

The two college students from Lima, Peru, will lead off two evenings of concerts, kazoo and all, in the second annual Acoustic Weekend at the Sun Valley Pavilion.

“I can’t wait to see them again,” said Aaron Baker, who hired the two last summer to play at CIRO Market’s Wine Lounge last winter. “I’m a totally huge fan. They have really original, fantastic vocal harmonies and a great sense of humor—their ‘Squeeze Box’ by The Who is hillarious. They’re definitely good enough to go big.”

Already big is the Dukhs, the French-Canadian group that took Acoustic Weekend by storm last summer. Other performers are American Idol star Justin Guarini, folk/pop siren Molly Venter and Borneo native Zee Avi, and Ethan Tucker, a Twin Falls boy who played Marley in the Mountains in Ketchum in February.

“I’ve never seen the Sun Valley Pavilion before, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about it,” he said. “There should be plenty of good vibes there.”

The show starts at 6 p.m. each evening, with gates opening at 5. Tickets are $25 for Friday, $45 for Saturday and $60 for both nights, available at the Sun Valley Recreation Center Box Office at 888-622-2108 or online twp at seats.sunvalley.com

the lineup

Friday

Alejandro Rivas and Maria Laura Bustamante—The two migrate between original compositions and traditional Peruvian ballads in Spanish and American pop songs such as Disney’s “When You Wish Upon a Star” in their own stylings.

Bustamante performed her first concert before a live audience when she was 7, singing songs from Idaho musician Carole King’s “Tapestry” album, at a small coffee shop in Lima.

Rivas started playing the cello at age 6 but eventually shucked it to become singer/guitar player for a Peruvian rock band, “Los Winkerbeats.”

Ethan Tucker—This Twin Falls boy has his posse—The Grassroots All-Stars Band. But he’ll fly solo on the Pavilion stage.

Tucker’s soulful repertoire incorporates jazz, blues and folk

on originals such as “Prejudice,” “Angel by the Lake” and “I Can’t Make It Rain.” And he sings such covers as Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues.”

“He’s just an incredible talent and worldly-wise already in many ways, especially for someone who’s only 21,” said Sun Valley’s resident music critic John Pluntze.

Molly Venter—A storyteller in the tradition of Joni Mitchell and Patty Griffin, Venter started out in the Wood River Valley before moving to Austin, Texas.

Her voice is like an unbelieveable Burgundy, with many notes, flavors and fragrances—“and it all goes down like silk,” said a reviewer for “American Songwriter Magazine.”

Venter played to a standingroom-only crowd when she performed at the Elkhorn Supper Club in August.

“I don’t think she’s even 30 years old, but she already sings with a fearlessness and soulfulness and power and poignancy that a lot of singers out there can’t come close to by the time they’re in their 50s and 60s,” Pluntze said.

Justin Guarini—This vocalist finished runner-up to Kelly Clarkson on “American Idol” and now appears as special correspondent on TV Guide Channel’s “Idol Tonight” and as co-host of “Idol Wrap.” A former member of the Atlanta Boys Choir, he’s recorded two albums, appeared in the movie “From Justin to Kelly,” and been on “Oprah” and “The Tonight Show.”

Saturday:

Justin Guarini and Molly Venter will have short sets.

Zee Avi—This 23-year-old singer/songwriter, who hails from Borneo, an ancient island east of Malaysia, cut her teeth on Jazz greats like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, rock stars Led Zeppelin and more eclectic musicians such as Leonard Cohen. At 17 she locked herself in a room for hours on end to learn to play the guitar. After studying fashion design in London, she began posting her songs on YouTube for a friend to hear.

As luck would have it, she soon had 3,000 messages, including a slew of label offers. “Just You and Me,” the first song she wrote on ukulele, has a ’20’s New Orleans swing jazz vibe.

“Story of…” features acoustic guitar, while “Poppy” is an autobiographical account of the end of a two-year relationship.

The DUHKS—This Juno Award winner and Grammynominated group from Canada headlined last year’s Acoustic Weekend and rapidly made believers of the audience. The five-member Canadian folk-rockCeltic-old time-bluegrass group from Winnipeg, Manitoba, fuses North American musical traditions featuring fiddle and banjo with Latin-music-influenced percussion.

This annual fundraising event is $150 per person and benefits The Advocates for Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault and supports free, life-changing services for more than 500 women and children, and community education to more than 3,000 students annually.

Alba Arndt turns centenarian

By KAREN BOSSICK

W

illiam Howard Taft was president the year Alba Arndt was born.

Henry Ford had just introduced the Model T. And the Earth was about to pass through the tail of Haleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Comet, prompting Mark Twain to bow out of the human race as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d promised.

This weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;17 presidents laterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Arndt celebrated a century of living.

The Hailey Fire Department showed up with its hook and ladder during her birthday party at Blaine Manor on Friday. After all, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do for all the candles on her birthday cake to set the town on fire. Dozens of well-wishers stopped by Albaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home on Saturday.

And Albaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger sister Lola Salvesenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a mere 98 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sashayed in from Downey, Idaho, bearing toffee sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d made by boiling butter, sugar and water â&#x20AC;&#x153;to blue smoke.â&#x20AC;?

Another sister, now 95, sent her greetings from Hillsboro, Ore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the secret to living a long life? Learn to accept whatever comes and you will be better for it,â&#x20AC;? said Arndt, whose mother died just a few months shy of 100.

Arndt was born in Virginia, Idaho, where her father had homesteaded after carrying bullion by horseback from the mines in Custer to the assay office in Blackfoot.

There she read the Ogden newspaper, which the train brought from Ogden, from cover to cover. And in high school she got to see John Phillip Sousa perform in nearby Pocatello. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was as good as any rock

concert today,â&#x20AC;? said Arndt, who played the organ for many of Haileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weddings and funerals over the years.

Arndt moved to Hailey in 1946 where her husband Chet built the first homes in Hulen Meadows north of Ketchum. And in 1950 they shelled out $4,800 for four lots on Third Avenue that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s namesake John Hailey had bought in 1884 for $50.

Arndt only recently moved out of her 1898 home into Blaine Manor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the day we came to Hailey, it was homeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;such a friendly place. And it was a wonderful place for our son to grow up,â&#x20AC;? said Arndt, whose son Henry went on to oversee the diagnostic division of Bayer Corp. in Elkhart, Ind. Arndt, who had a teaching degree from Idaho State University, taught school in Hailey for 20 years. And in 1976 she began

a 10-year stint as a librarian at the Hailey Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a feat for a woman who had no library at her disposal when she was younger.

Arndt lost her of husband of 56 years in 1992, but her mind remains sharp as a tack, said her certified nursing assistant Norka Albarran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been counting the days down to her 100th birthday for days, weeks, months,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And even at a hundred, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the nicest, most politest person you could find.â&#x20AC;?

As Arndt nibbled on her birthday lunchâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;tapioca pudding with colored marshmallows surrounded by kiwi and orange slicesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;she reminisced about the changes sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen over the years.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen the fields that surrounded Hailey fill up with homes as the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population burgeoned to 7,000. And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where is the ceiling?

nuggets...................from pg 1 the most affordable price point.

For example, Ketchum Kitchens sells countertop appliances—a low-margin item that similar high-end stores usually avoid— at prices comparable to or below low-cost competitors. “That’s hard for some to believe,” asserts Kathy, “but it’s true.” Don adds, “We have never been embarrassed on a price on anything.”

Don also stays on top of deals offered by vendors to pass them on to customers, typically through “moonlight sales.”

The couple also emphasizes customer service. “Take care of the customer,” says Don, “and the customer will take care of you.” “People don’t always plan in advance,” Kathy adds. “We are heavily invested in inventory because second-home owners will come in to buy new dishes for a party that night and we want to have them on hand.”

Further, while the store aims to carry all cutting-edge products, sometimes it misses one. “Then, we are adamant about doing special orders,” says Don, “even if I have to buy something from another store and sell it without a markup.”

Finally, Kathy and Don run Ketchum Kitchens with strong personal values: hard work, integrity, and respect for the store’s employees. Their business is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. (10 a.m. on weekends) to 6 p.m. Helped by two background partners, Kathy and Don provide the sweat equity for everyday operations. The couple also emphasizes “not stepping on other businesses’ toes.” Don points out, “Times are tough, but you’ve got to be fair. It will catch up with you if you don’t.”

Ketchum Kitchens also practices “internal customer service” with its 12 employees, offering flexible schedules and frequent product and sales training. “It’s a terrific family environment,” chorus employees as Don and Kathy shyly look at their feet.

Ketchum Kitchens’ market includes locals, second-home owners, and visitors. Recognized in 2009 as one of Idaho’s Small Business Brightest Stars, Don and Kathy are proud to be an asset to the community but note that the community is an asset to them as well. “Our business is 60-70 percent locals and we like that. Locals should always be able to shop locally,” comments Kathy.

“Take care of the customer, and the customer will take care of you.”

–Don Leonard Co-owner of Ketchum Kitchens

“Wouldn’t it be great if we became known as the resort with the best service anywhere in the country? ” –Kathy Mallane Co-owner of Ketchum Kitchens

When asked what the economic future will bring, the pair shake their heads. “Not sure,” they say. Then, Don suggests, “We need to promote this area better, to collaborate more on educating visitors about the whole Valley while promoting that great Sun Valley name.” Don would also like more collaboration with Sun Valley Company, suggesting, for example, “It would great if Sun Valley gave advance notice of conventions coming to town, so businesses could prepare special promotions and targeted messaging.”

Kathy adds with conviction, “And Valley businesses need to improve customer service.

Wouldn’t it be great if we became known as the resort with the best service anywhere in the country?” A truly good idea, twp Kathy!

Tulip, the useless beauty T

here’s a lot to be said for and about the tulip.

Much ado about by: BALI nothing?

SZABO Perhaps. It is the youngest plant to join the botanical royalty, which includes the rose, the peony, the lily, the orchid, and maybe the dahlia and the German bearded iris. These plants have successfully interfaced with human needs, desires, ideas and fashions. They’ve proven malleable. Darwin called this ‘artificial evolution’ in the opening chapter of the Origin of Species, where natural selection is overridden by natural preference. It helps that these plants—a tiny fraction of all the rest—are able to re-invent themselves. They are multifarious and mutable. It’s a great survival strategy and more, a formula for world domination.

Because of adoption by humans, there are more tulips and roses today than would naturally be the case.

The above-mentioned royalty also survived because they all had some practical use, and so were rescued from fickle fashion or puritanical excommunication. (Their exhibitionist beauty incited base thoughts and threatened moral purity and they represented worldly ostentation. Even foods can fall prey to this psychological projec-

habitat for non-humanity

tion that soils the innocent.

For a long time, proper Hindus would abstain from garlic and onions, which were said to incite the passions. Only the poor, who ate street food, indulged in such saucy fare.) The tulip was safe. It was aloof—a calm, cool, collected, scentless male, able to change with the times. Today, it’s mass-market eye candy, and it remains a useless beauty.

Typically, the Dutch overpaid for it. The Germans boiled the bulb and tried to pass it off as a delicacy. The English tried them with a vinaigrette. It was trumpeted as a remedy for flatulence.

A lot of hot air. Neither food, aromatic or medicine, the tulip remains as itself—the trophy wife of the flower garden.

The Habitat contains a historical variety of tulips, from the small Asian ones to the varied heirlooms and the tall,

modern wineglass types. This gives me a two-month tulip season. An heirloom is simply a bulb that a grower(s) decided to perpetuate, and then sell for a premium. Without a human agent, bulbs become extinct, as they weaken over time. Planted from seed, they don’t come true.

Any specific one had to be grown from the tiny bulblets at the base (offsets). We have become the primary force in the tulip’s existence. Its fate is no longer dependent on a pollinator. And because it mutates spontaneously into outrageous hues, like the Rembrandts and the fringed varieties, its perpetuation is assured. Who has the upper hand in this process, we or the plant?

We are also witness to the magnificence of the blue whale, the largest creature on Earth; the bizarre look of the sheepshead fish that most resembles the Elephant Man; and the incredible spider crabs that march toward each other as approaching armies and proceed to do battle.

This week’s Horoscopes: Settle in to your seats, the show is about to start

warm • friendly • unique

Settle into your seat because the show is about to start. The theme is economic, though this is no dry dissertation on numbers. Money is emotional. Jupiter and Uranus line up with all the excitement of the Rockettes forming a kick line. Jupiter newly stationed in fiery Aries is all about largess and excitement, bells going off for the big winner, and effervescent flair. Uranus translates personal luck into public good fortune.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may feel uncharacteristically shy this week.

This little bump in the road of social ease is caused by self-doubt. It might help you to know that you’re not expected to have the answers or be anyone you’re not. Just being available with a nice attitude and a listening ear is probably enough. You’re loveable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your choices are likely to be confusing.

There are many seductive but wrong routes, as well as an overwhelming number of mediocre options. How will you choose? Luckily, you already know the perfect route for you. And all you have to do is get internally quiet and then command your mind to show you the way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You like a person because of who that person is, and for no other reason. This person cannot further your agenda in any way, and that makes him or her all the more loveable to you. Having many people like this around you will be lucky for you this week, helping you regularly

practice a higher kind of love.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you don’t know what the competition is doing, you’ll be at a disadvantage. If you obsess about what the competition is doing, you won’t have time for your own work. If you try, this week you will succeed in striking the perfect balance between being informed and minding your own business.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Awkward stages are a necessary part of growth.

The in-between stages of life are actually beautiful to some people, as we are at our most vulnerable and real at these junctures. Could you see things this way? Have compassion for yourself and others who are riding out a transitional phase in the journey.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It will be challenging to focus on your work. It may even feel as though every single person currently living on the planet is doing something more interesting than what is in front of you. This could not be farther from the truth. Hunker down and dive in as though this is the only task and the only moment that matters.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll make music with people who invigorate you. The words are not the most important part of this music. As it is with most songs, it’s the melody that people will remember. And in your case, the “melody” comes from the overall feeling of a relationship -- the particular give and take and the chemistry that creates.

Fishing R epoRt

The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR JUne 9, 2010 • By: Jim sanTa

A

s expected, the fishing we had early on the Big Wood was short-lived. With the warmer temperatures and the rain the Wood has gone over its banks and is not fishable and in fact, is quite dangerous right now. Please stay away and by all means, don’t bring your dogs to the river.

Now, for the good news. We are fortunate enough to have Silver Creek in our back yard, arguably one of the finest spring creek fisheries anywhere, and it’s fishing well. When the weather has been favorable we’ve had some nice pmd hatches and fish are taking dry flies. When there’s no visible surface activity the fish have been taking small nymphs. Small natural nymphs, size 16-20, have been effective. Other possible selections would include large beetle patterns, my favorite is a size 10 deer hair beetle, damsel nymphs, leech patterns, and if you so choose a large streamer for the carnivorous browns.

Downstream below highway 20, the annual brown drake hatch is on the verge of popping. As of Sunday evening we hadn’t yet seen any drakes in the air, but with warmer temperatures this week it could begin any evening and by the time this report hits, it may already be underway. Be prepared with all stages of this large mayfly, go early and stay late, and don’t forget your headlamp.

The other option we have available right now would be the South Fork of the Boise. Water is being released from the reservoir and a boat is the best way to fish this river at the current water level of 1600 c.f.s.

In summary, this is a good time to get down to Silver Creek and hone your skills. Presentation is a critical skill to have on any water and if you can do it on the creek, you can do it anywhere. Have fun out there and be safe.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are those around who are very grand and who seem to see themselves as glowingly and obviously above everyone else. They will become irritated if you don’t see them in the same light, which you won’t. We are all equal, and this is made even more apparent by those who think they are superior.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There will be waves in a relationship.

Maybe it’s nobody’s fault but the tide’s. So blame it on the moon, and then figure out how to get up on your boards and ride this out. It may even be fun. In fact, if you can get over this one, in time you will come to think of it as one of the high points of your experience together.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There is no group to be a part of, only a bunch of individuals with some things in common and most things not. You, like most people, may assume that everyone else is connected and you are on the outside. Not true. If everyone feels like an outsider from time to time, then there really are no insiders.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a stamp of approval, and this has carried you through tough times. Perhaps you shouldn’t need the validation -- you are worthy without it, too.

Still, it helps. You’ll get the chance to give the same kind of boost to someone else. Your vote of confidence will be more meaningful than you can imagine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s not a lot that will be given to you freely this week. It’s not because the universe is purposely trying to make things hard for you. It’s because you can’t possibly appreciate what is handed to you. And you won’t know what you really want until you find the gumption inside to reach up and take it. Grab on.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: To function at the optimum levels, you need beauty in your world. This year it comes in the form of a person you enjoy being around. This one’s sense of order, aesthetics and good cheer will be a lovely fixture in your life.

Your earnings steadily increase in the months to come, allowing you to make an important purchase in October. You win a competition in July.

Your dynamic energy opens doors for you in August. Loved ones need you to demonstrate your love often through twp the fall.

‘Pippin’ musical starts soon Ketchum Arts Festival: Meet the Artist, Tate

St. Thomas Playhouse is giving its “Pippin” a steam punk look.

ated from New York University’s Tisch School of Performing Arts, plays The Leading Player.

“He’s a shadowy figure who manipulates Pippin, almost like a puppet,” said Howard. “It’s sort of a play within a play. It opens with a band of plays put on and then you find out that Pippin’s a real person, not a character in a play.”

The show, displayed in a steam punk look, explores the themes of reality versus illusion and the societal pressures that shape young culture in their efforts to achieve their dreams. “ ’Pippin’ asks us to look at the way we perpetuate the status quo—we’re all complicit,” said Harris.

“Pippin” opened on Broadway in 1972. Under the direction of Bob Fosse, Ben Vereen won a Tony Award for his singing and dancing in the musical.

The musical features dance numbers and ballads by threetime Oscar-winning composer/ lyricist Stephen Schwartz. twp

Pippin’ at a Glance

reddie Harris couldn’t stop thinking of “Pippin” as she listened to the graduation speeches last week.

They all bore a common theme: Work hard and you can achieve the American dream.

“But, in reality, kids are pushed so hard to be all they can be and, then, if things don’t happen like in a Disney movie, they feel like a real failure,” she said.

That very subject will be the focus of “Pippin,” a musical set to open Thursday, June 17, at The Community School Theatre in Sun Valley.

Dawson Howard stars as “EveryTeen-ager” (rather than “Everyman”). And he’s chasing the American dream.

“The musical is ordinarily set in the court of Charlemagne.

But the setting is immaterial—it translates very well to the American dream,” said Director Freddie Harris, who is known for the tenacity with which she researches the plays she directs.

The musical revolves around a young prince who sets out to discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment. He looks for it first in the glories of the battlefield but comes to realize the “God is on our side, rah-rah imperialism” is a sham.

Next he turns to the temptations of the flesh. And, finally, the intrigues of political power. “”He has an air of petulance, a sense of entitlement about him. He expects things to happen to him rather than taking action himself,” said Howard.

“Sometimes you like Pippin.

Sometimes you don’t. But I think everyone can identify with Pippin.”

isa Tate’s glasswork features the ancient art of cameo glass. Glass is blown by Tate using traditional offhand furnace techniques.

Each piece is blown using multiple paper-thin color overlays.

When cooled, each piece is then hand cut and engraved.

Cameo glass is an ancient art form, heavily used by the Romans and early Islamic engravers. Very few artists practice cameo glass today due to its complexity and the enormous amount of time needed to create each piece in detail. Tate is one of approximately 35 cameo glass artists in the world. Her work is featured in museums and private collections in the U.S. and the Middle East.

Tate currently lives and works in Boise, Idaho. She has studied glass-blowing and engraving at the Bay Area Glass Institute in San Francisco, the Pratt Fine Art Center in Seattle, and the

briefs Blaine County Republicans elect officers On June 2, 2010, the Blaine County Republicans elected new officers, including Ed Terrazas as chairman, Curtis Johnson as vice chairman and Margaret Caston as treasurer. Long-serving member Suzan Stommel will remain as recording secretary and corresponding secretary. The BCR also re-elected Maurice Charlat as State Central Committeeman and Darlene Bramon as State Central Committeewoman in recognition of their long service to the group. Newcomer Jill Nowogroski was elected Young Republican Chairman, a position that had been vacant as of

recently.

Ed Terrazas said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are all excited about the real possibility of electing Republicans to various local offices over the next few years, and specifically about getting Jim Donoval elected to the Idaho Senate and Alex Sutter elected to the Idaho House Of Representatives in November. There is clearly a movement toward a more conservative, responsible local government that helps businesses rather than works against them, and we are committed to continuing to work toward that goal.â&#x20AC;?

BCR members are also working tirelessly to assist Debbie Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill in organizing the June 18th event at River Run Lodge featuring National Republican Chairman Michael Steele, which is being done in conjunction with the Idaho State Republican Party. Ed Terrazas said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tickets are only $25, and can be purchased at the event itself, so it is an economical way to support the Idaho Republican Party.â&#x20AC;? For more information, please contact Debbie Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill at 208-450-9687.

Goat continues at the nexStage

Going somewhere fast?

By KAREN BOSSICK

Going somewhere fast?

E

dward Albee once told interviewer Charlie Ross that one needs to “imagine the unimaginable.” And what he’s conceived of in the play “The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?” is definitely the unimaginable. “It’s weird beyond weird,” said one woman after seeing the play at the nexStage theatre last week.

“I’m still trying to wrap my head around it,” said another four days after she’d seen it. “But I haven’t stopped thinking about it.”

You can see what the hubbub is all about for yourself as the nexStage Theatre presents the award-winning play tonight through Saturday at 7 p.m. nightly. It revolves around a couple who appear to have an idyllic life.

Martin, played by Keith Moore, has just won a prestigious award for his architectural work. He and his wife Stevie, played by Patsy Wygle, have been happily married for 22 years. And the two have a warm, understanding relationship with their gay son Billy, played by Harry Dreyfuss.

But Stevie’s sense “that everything’s going right is a sure

I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places.

Wednesday 6.9.10

Stitching time with Jean Pyrah of Carey J a closer look ean Pyrah didn’t sew her first quilt stitch until she was 70.

Now—20 years by: Karen later—she’s Bossick made more than a hundred.

The 90-year-old has made queen-sized quilts for each of her seven children and her 25 grandchildren and babysized quilts for each of her 60 great-grandchildren.

“I can name all of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, too,” she said. “But I don’t know how. I can’t remember where I put my glasses six minutes ago.”

Everyone, it seems, knows Jean Pyrah’s name around Carey. After all, she’s lived there for 75 years—ever since she moved there from Arco during high school.

And on Sunday the people of Carey will celebrate her life there with her induction into the Blaine County Heritage Court.

“She’s a real homemaker, a fantastic sewer and cook and all-around talented lady,” said Bonnie Justesen, who was inducted into the court a couple of years ago.

The daughter of a farmer and the granddaughter of a lumberman who had a sawmill on the Big Lost River, Pyrah moved several times as a youth—from Arco to Ashton, Caldwell and even Fish Creek, a community of 10 families near Carey.

There, with the Great Depression getting under way, the family made do with root crops like potatoes and rutabagas that they stored in their cellar and cream they sold at a nearby cream station.

Carey was bigger but still a small town.

Jean Pyrah

“I don’t even remember how groceries came in,” Pyrah said.

“We grew our own vegetables, baked our own bread, bought milk from the neighbor.”

She paused. “Things haven’t changed much. I still make my own bread—whole wheat bread’s my specialty. And the kids are always wanting one of grandma’s chocolate chip or raisin oatmeal cookies.”

In 1938 Pyrah married Al, a Carey native who was working for the highway department.

“He was a brilliant musician,” she said, recalling how her husband played piano, organ, saxophone and clarinet at local concerts. “He had a lovely singing voice, too. When we had his funeral in 1980 we had a whole box of funeral programs he’d performed.”

The couple had seven children—Helen, Kurtis, Robb, Amy, Marcia, John and Debbie.

Each took their turn with family chores that came with raising hay, grain and beef cattle. When chores were done, the Pyrahs hitched a wagon to the back of their tractor, picnicking on the nearby lava fields right outside their back door.

Jean Pyrah chats with fellow Heritage Court Lady Sally Donart at a tea that the Blaine County Heritage Museum hosted on Sunday for this year’s court and past courts.

PhotoS: KAREN BOSSICK/TWP

Pyrah remains bemused by the visitors from around the world who come to see the Craters of the Moon National Monument.

“I know people think it’s a big deal. I say it’s no big deal. It’s just my backyard,” said Pyrah, who has ventured into the heart of the lava fields only a few times.

Jean sewed her children’s clothes when they were younger and has continued to employ her sewing skills since by making wedding dresses for her brood, including one granddaughter who emphatically stated she couldn’t get married without one of grandma’s dresses.

Quilting is a hobby—something she took up after the kids had grown and she finally had time on her hands.

She chooses her patterns from a tall stack of books depicting lover’s knots, log cabins, trips around the world and Irish chains.

“I remember when you used to make quilts out of what you had, such as not-too-worn shirts.

Now it’s a big business and costs

lots of money as you get fabric from stores. But they’re awfully nice when they’re done,” she said. “I made a quilt for every one of my grandchildren when they graduated. And then they get another one when they get married. So that keeps me busy.” twp

Divas have tea before being crowned

By KAREN BOSSICK

J

ean Pyrah and three other Wood River Valley women will be crowned as part of the Blaine County Heritage Court from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey.

The other woman are Sally Donart of Ketchum, Fern Stephenson of Hailey and Phyllis Stelma of Bellevue.

The ceremony—free to the public—will feature entertainment and a reception.

The four women were honored with a tea this past Sunday at Sun Valley where they met with others who had preceded them into the court. Among them, Crystal Harper, who will turn 105 June 28; Alice Schernthanner, Petra Morrison, and Lois Heagle.

About 60 people attended the tea, nibbling on strawberries dipped in powdered sugar, assorted cookies and cucumber and

egg salad finger sandwiches.

“It’s nice to see everyone once a year,” said Heagle.

The Blaine County Heritage Court, presented by the Blaine County Historical Museum, received the Idaho Historical Society’s highest award last year for preservation of Idaho history and heritage.

The Hailey Rotary Club is this year’s Grand Heritage Sponsor. Other court sponsors are Anderson Asphalt, D.L.

Key Club formed

By KAREN BOSSICK

S

chool may have ended Friday, but the new Wood River High School Key Club is just beginning.

Twenty-one students have formed the first Key Club International chapter in the Wood River Valley.

And three of the students— Ashton Lupton, Taylor Hayes and Hunter Van Bramer—got their feet wet immediately, helping out with the Hailey Rodeo BBQ Cook-Off on Saturday.

“I thought it would be a good outlet through which we can offer community service,” said Ashton Lupton. “And it’s open to anyone. It’s not inclusive like some other service clubs are,” said Taylor Hayes.

“I like to do community service. Plus they told me it looks good on your college application,” said Hunter Van Bramer.

Marty Miller said the Kiwanis Club of Hailey and the Wood River Valley has been working toward this for about five years: “Finally, we have the right connections at the right moment.

The kids will use the summer to organize so they will be fully functional once school starts next fall.”

The Key Club is the oldest and largest service program for high school students in the country with more than 5,000 Key Clubs nationwide.

It focuses on leadership through serving others, said Miller.

The Key club will join the Kiwanis on certain service projects but it will have some of its own, as well.

Members include co-presidents Ashton Lupton and Dakota Barnes, vice president Anne Drier, Secretary Taylor Hayes, Treasurer Hunter Van Bramer,

WHAT ABOUT KIWANIS?

16 • theweeklypaper

The Kiwanis Club started in 1916 with the mission of serving the children of the world.

Local members read to children enrolled in the Head Start Program, donate school supplies and winter coats for kids, donate to Community Library, decorate a tree for the Senior Connection’s Festival of Trees, sponsor Winter Wonderland, hold a barbecue for bikers riding to Camp Rainbow Gold, host a chili cook-off, snowbox derby and senior high bash. They also participate in the Hailey Auto Show and this weekend’s Hailey Rodeo Arena Band Fest.

They group provides scholarships for Kiwanis Leadership camp.

The group is 18 strong and meets at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Senior Center in Hailey.

“We do a lot for such a small group,” said Marty Miller. “We call ourselves ‘the little club that could,’ ” said Marty Miller.

Editor Desiree Midby, 2010 Class Representative Britton Stevenson, 2011 Class Representative Kylee Richmond, 2012 Class Representative Conor Murray, 2013 Class Representative Julia Broderick and 2014 Class Representative Shelby Barnes.

Other charter members are Caitlyn Admire, Ashle Ashliman, Rachel Blum, Lexi Browne, Kelly Collins, Katherine Dwyer, Dallas Lewallen, Alexander MacMillan, Morgan Rust and Paige Stevenson.

The faculty advisor is Minerva Grimaldo. And Rick and Cindy Jesinger are serving as club advisors. twp

Caritas: songs from mom

By KAREN BOSSICK

H

andkerchiefs and Kleenex came in handy Saturday and Sunday as the Caritas Chorale sang “Songs My Mother Taught Me.” Music lovers crowded into the Gail Severn Gallery to see the chorale perform songs like “Aura Lee” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic” amidst artwork of spring blooms.

“We had the first TV on the block and people came in to watch the test patterns,” recalled Director Dick Brown. “So we grew up singing. And this is one of my favorite,” he said as the choir launched into “Shall We Gather at the River.”

The choir, which seems to get

jg

better each year, sang in tightknit harmonies as R.L. Rowsey tickled the ivories with the pluck of a player piano in a Western saloon.

Brown dedicated “Dixie” to R.L., a native of Virginia, as well as himself and other southerners in the group.

“It’s not a song about racism.

It’s about people longing to go back to their homeland. I’ll probably never go back to the South.

I’ll probably be buried here in Yankee Land with a couple of sopranos,” he quipped.

The chorale will have its 11th annual fundraising dinner—a star-struck event at Elkhorn Supper Club—on Sept. 12. For more information, call 726-5349. twp

Craters Best Idea: Natâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;l Park Getaway

At this time of year, commencement speakers are urging graduates around the country to shoot for the moon.

This week, the National Park Service gives travelers the same advice. The weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Park Getaway, one in a series of feature articles found at www.nps.gov/getaways, takes you to Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re truly aiming for Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satellite, visiting Craters of the Moon is just shy of scoring a bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-eye. The landscape has so much in common with the lunar surface that Alan Shepard and other moon-bound astronauts studied geology there in 1969.

Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve is the 50th park featured in the Getaway series. Each week the series introduces you to a place where you can reconnect with nature, history, family and friends.

Read the article on Craters of the Moon at www.nps.gov/getaways to learn about the opportunities at this un-earthly world of caves and cones, wildflowers and wonder, and start counting down to your getaway today.

Curing your allergies

www.KingMtnRanchInc.com

~ good advice from local practitioners ~

By DR. MARIA MARICICH

E

ven though it feels like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hardly seen the sun in months, summer is just around the corner. For many, that means the misery of seasonal allergies, especially when the cottonwood starts to fly.

Allergies are an overreaction of the immune system. The immune system is attacking things that are not really a threat, so we have to ask ourselves, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why would the immune system do that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Here are a few reasons: Toxins: There was a study done by the American Red Cross where the blood of newborns was tested. They discovered that babies had an average of 287 neurotoxins in their blood at birth. In the past fifty years, more toxins have shown up from petroleum, pesticides, synthetic products and other sources. In the meantime, allergy cases have been on the rise. Toxins may very well be the trigger for the hyperactivity of the immune system.

Stressed adrenal function: Stress is another big factor in our modern lifestyle. Stress affects cortisol levels and cortisol directly affects the immune system. Associated symptoms include sleeping issues, fatigue, memory problems, and weight gain. The stressed adrenal function leads to immune sensitivities.

The Gut: The lining of the intestines would cover the area of a tennis court. It is our first line of immune defense against invaders. With the modern use of antibiotics, many people have an imbalance in the normal bacteria that live in the intestines. Also, two-thirds of the population have pathogens such as parasites and protozoa that live indefinitely in the intestines.

If the lining of the intestine is damaged by these toxins and pathogens, the immune system is on red alert and remains

hyper-vigilant until it is healed.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like homeland security. We had a breach on 9/11 and now we are hyper-vigilant with airport security.

Genetic: Allergies can be inherited.

Allergy desensitizing: Energy medicine refers to any modality involving the energy that flows through the body along set pathways, just like blood and nerve transmissions flow along set pathways. Allergies cause a weakness in the energy flow of the body. It is on the energy level that this new approach both tests and treats reactions.

The concept of energy medicine may be new to most people.

However, energy medicine is an ancient principle with a modern scientific basis. Everything is made of atoms, which are vibrating particles. Through research in quantum physics, we know that at the particle level all matter is energy. All living beings, including humans, are made of particles, making us energy beings.

Once test substances that have a weakening effect are identified, it is possible to â&#x20AC;&#x153;reprogramâ&#x20AC;? the body/brain on the energy level to have a positive response to the substances.

The reprogramming is simple and non-invasive. It is safe for children. Allergy elimination techniques have been successful in eliminating allergies/sensitivities to a wide variety of substances. People who do not respond well will need to have the above-mentioned issues addressed first. Many chiropractors, acupuncturists and holistic doctors are using these techniques with great twp success.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, For weeks, each time I tried starting my car, the battery was dead. I have had to ask my neighbor for a jump-start many times and even a few people at work when it's time to go home.

It turns out the dummy indicator that dings when the lights are left on was broken. So every time I got out of my car, sure enough I left the lights on. I've run the battery dead so many times that it barely starts the car. I came across an ad in the newspaper that advertised used car batteries for only $20 each. I was wondering if it's a good idea to buy a used battery.

Cash: Okay, so let's get this

straight. When you realized the indicator was broken, you didn't replace it. And after jump-starting the car countless times, you still haven't replaced it. And it' s the indicator that's called a dummy?

Carry: The first thing you need to do is get a new indicator light to save yourself a lot of future hassles.

Cash: As for buying a used battery from the classified ad you found, it depends on your situation. A new battery for a small

Most cars today still operate on a 12-volt electrical system to power everything from the starter to power seats. However, the standard 12-volt system in your car isn't actually 12 volts at all.

Technically a car electrical system is 14 volts and is designed to run between 13.5 and 14.5 volts during normal operation. Your car's 12volt battery isn't actually 12 volts either. The average lead acid battery measures about 12.6 volts.

Speaking Battery

sedan can cost as little as $50. At that price, it may be best to just buy a new one.

Carry: On the other hand, if you have a car that takes an expensive battery, upwards of $80 or more, then a used battery can be a good bet.

Cash: There are some things to keep in mind when buying a used car battery. First, make sure that it is less than six months old. Car batteries have a limited life and degrade over time, especially when they are not actively used.

Carry: A battery less than six months old has usually undergone little sulfating. Sulfating occurs when crystals begin forming in the battery as a result of the chemical

reaction that produces electricity.

In time, these crystals build up and limit the flow of current through the battery.

Cash: For this reason, check the manufacturing date on the battery. It is usually stamped or labeled on the side. Sometimes it's in code with a letter for the month ("A" for January) and a number for the year ("10" for 2010).

Carry: And before you replace the battery, fix the indicator.

Otherwise, it might just start dinging to indicate you're the dummy.

Auto batteries contain a lot of information. Here’s help to decipher the code.

Group Size: There's over 40 combinations of size & terminal location. This is typically part of the model number.

Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): The amount of current delivered at 0°F. Cranking Amps (CA): Similar to CCA, it specifies the starting current at 23°F. Reserve Capacity: How long the fully charged battery could run without the use of an alternator.

Shipping Date: Designated by a letter for month & a number for year.

Warranty: (XX/YY) Signifies months of coverage. XX = free replacement period. YY = total coverage period.

Reader Humor Drained

Working at the service counter for an auto dealership, I get a lot of women coming in asking for help. But my last customer made me laugh.

When she came in to purchase a battery for her car, she told me that she had no idea how cars worked. "My car wouldn't start this morning," she explained.

"So I called my husband at work to come help. But he was in a meeting and muttered something about how simple it was to fix.

That's why I'm here."

Confused by her story I asked her, "So what did your husband tell you to do about the battery?"

Handing me her Visa card, she replied, "He said to just charge it!"

509 announcements Wood River Land Trust is looking to highlight its highest level of Trout Friendliness by certifying more Gold Standard lawns. The Trout Friendly Lawn program promotes simple steps residents can take in yards and parks throughout the Wood River Valley to conserve water and protect water quality and local fisheries.

A certified Trout Friendly Lawn is: 1) water-wise, 2) reduces or eliminates the use of synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, and 3) uses native and drought-tolerant plants. The Gold Standard asks residents to choose a certain number of Trout Friendly practices, such as establishing a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no-mow zoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, planting native and drought-tolerant plants, or eliminating the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. If you are interested in certifying your lawn Trout Friendly, or for more information, call Sam Phillips at Wood River Land Trust at 788-3947, email tfl@ woodriverlandtrust.org or visit www. troutfriendly.org. **25** The Dollhouse Consignment Boutique?
