Feel Good This Summer BY MEAGAN STASZ, THE HUNGER COALITION
S
ummer brings those long hot days and refreshingly cool mountain nights. It’s all about kids biking to the playground or down to the river. There are fish to catch, lawns to mow and barbecues to fire up. Gardeners may lament the crazy weather, but they know crisp peas and crunchy carrots are not far off. Summer is one of the wonderful things to be grateful for living in the Wood River Valley. It’s a feel good time of year and a time of year to feel good. With the help of volunteers from around the community, The Hunger Coalition hopes to make sure summer 2012 can be a good time of year for everyone, especially the 3,000 or so children and adults living in food insecurity in Blaine County. It sounds alarming, as it should. We do actually have this many in our midst unable to make ends meet and uncertain where their next meal is coming from. This is one of the reasons why The Hunger Coalition and Blaine County School District are excited to start another summer of The Lunch Connection, so local kids can have nourishing, wholesome free hot meals during the week. And, it’s why the Environmental Resource Center, Sawtooth Botanical Garden and Bellevue Public Library are pitching in to share fun outdoor activities with all the kids coming to Woodside Elementary for free lunch this summer! Fresh, nutritious foods support a healthy lifestyle and make summer all the more enjoyable. For children dealing with malnutrition and hunger, summer is not a time of laughter and sunshine. These children have less energy and cannot focus. They suffer the physical, mental and emotional issues that come from insufficient nutrition and crisis. To ensure these children have the chance to experience childhood instead of hunger, there is The Lunch Connection. For their families, there is The Hope Garden and Mobile Food Bank, programs offering access to improved nutrition and healthier ways to prepare foods. The Hope Garden in downtown Hailey welcomes one and all during these bountiful months to learn how to plant, nurture, and harvest vital fresh vegetables and fruits. Workshops share valuable tips on growing and eating fresh from the garden. The best part: All the produce goes to local children and adults in need of wholesome, fresh food. With the help of Atkinsons’ Markets, Albertsons in Hailey and Idaho’s Bounty, crisp peas and crunchy carrots won’t be reserved for home gardeners or the Farmers’ Markets. Kids and their families can feel a little better about the stressful challenges they face because they are enjoying juicy fruits and tasty vegetables from the Mobile Food Bank. And maybe everyone in Blaine County can have a chance to feel good about summer 2012. On behalf of the 560 local families and individuals who will have healthier foods to eat and the staff who appreciate your generosity as a community, thank you for doing your part to create a whole and healthy Blaine County! The Hunger Coalition strives to end hunger in our community by providing wholesome food to those in need and by promoting solutions to the underlying causes of hunger through collaboration, education and advocacy.

For Love of the Horse STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
M
ary Ann Knight has driven the Blaine County Heritage Court carriage in Valley parades since the court made its debut in 2008. This year she’ll get a reprieve from the reins—this longtime dental assistant who likes to say she “retired three dentists” has been named to the Heritage Court herself. Knight was nominated for this year’s court by The Papoose Club for her work with 4-H and the Sawtooth Rangers Riding Club, where she organizes the tea for rodeo royalty each summer. The court was established to pay homage to women who have made the Valley what it is today, said Mike Healy, one of the organizers. Knight was born in Buhl but her parents bought a farm on 318 acres at the southern end of what is now Buttercup Road when she was two. Her father’s skin pores had been destroyed by the heat of working in vegetable canning factories, Knight says, and he could no longer tolerate the heat in the Magic Valley. Mary Ann’s family — the Drexlers— kept the town supplied with fresh eggs and milk, feeding the hogs with leftover milk. “If I did something wrong, my punishment was to sort the potatoes we grew into 10- and 100-pound bags,” Knight recalled. Knight was just two when she started riding the family’s part-draft horse bareback into the canyon above the old Cutter’s Ranch to check on the family cattle. When she was five, her father bought her a pony, handing over her piggy bank to Santa for a saddle. “I rode that horse all over town. But Dixie was ornery. We’d get to where I was going and she’d dump me off—buck me—and go home,” Knight recalled. Knight remembers a fun childhood filled with baseball, kick-the-can, hideand-seek, nine-cent “Tarzan” and “Roy Roger” movies at The Star Theatre and 12-cent movies at The Liberty Theatre. No one in Hailey skied then, even though Sun Valley was just up the road, because no one knew how to ski, Knight said. Instead, kids sledded down Silver and Galena streets. “It was a peaceful, beautiful, simple life,” she said. “You’d tell them what you wanted at the hardware store and they’d find it for you—you didn’t look for it yourself. The Legion Auxiliary put on a talent show each year with two-act plays and a dance group—everyone looked forward to it. And you rarely went to Ketchum, although the high school band would occasionally play for the VIPs as they got off the train.” At 18 Knight left the farm the day after
Mary Ann Knight laments that she doesn’t do as much trail riding as she used to. “I don’t have time. I’m just barely keeping the horses in shape. The computer world has changed the horse world a lot. A lot of time that people would spend with horses, they’re now on computers. I hate it, but my kids said I have to have one if I’m going to keep up with things.”
she graduated from high school. “Nobody wants to be on the farm because you can’t make money,” she said. “My dad would be up a four in the morning, keeping the machinery and everything going. I can’t begin to count the hours he worked.” Knight got a job in accounting at Sun Valley, given room and board in a dorm where the Sun Valley Post Office now sits. “It was the only time in my life that someone made my bed, my meals,” she fondly recalls. Her bags were packed to take a job with the traveling accountant for Union Pacific Railroad, which owned Sun Valley Resort, when she met Don Knight, who would become her husband, while having drinks with friends in Ketchum. “One look and I knew he was going to be my match for life. I went home and unpacked and told them I wouldn’t be going to Omaha,” Knight recalled. “I had actually met him when I was in second grade because my sister, who was 10 years older than me, married his brother. Don was just home from the service when we met again. He had bought a used car and was looking for a job in Ketchum.” The two were married in 1961, had three children—David, Diana and Joe —and spent 21 years together before Don died in 1982. Don ran a garage and repair shop for several years before taking law enforcement jobs in Ketchum and Bellevue.
“Don made a good marshal because he could solve a lot of problems talking with people,” Knight said. “My older brother Orville, who was Blaine County sheriff, was that way, too—he had a way of speaking with people that made them comfortable.” Today Knight lives in a log home her son built six years ago on the family’s 40acre ranch off Highway 75 just north of Glendale Road. A cowboy hat hangs on the wall. Two horseshoes serve as a napkin holder. And Knight sports a big rodeo belt buckle her granddaughter won for All-Around Champion at the 2007 Wood River Valley Junior Rodeo. Knight herself has ridden with the Sawtooth Rangers since 1965 and still organizes teas for the rodeo queens. She also is involved with the Upper Big Wood River Grange, ensuring that the facility remains available for public gatherings and dance classes. Come Fourth of July, Knight will dress the horses for the parade in Hailey as her companion Bill Sherbine hooks the draft horses up to one of three vis-à-vis carriages he found in Kuna and Oregon. But instead of climbing into the driver’s seat, Knight will climb into the plush seats with fellow court honorees Ann Christensen, Marsha Riemann and Mary Peterson. “It’ll be interesting seeing everything from a different perspective,” Knight said. tws

Caritas Chorale Offers Sneak Peek of Nez Perce Piece STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
A
n evening of mythology and creation stories unfolded Saturday and Sunday as the Caritas Chorale offered a sneak peek of its new choral piece, “Nez Perce Promises.” Director Dick Brown described how Coyote squeezed a heart and out of it came the Nez Perce people, or the Niimipuu, as they call themselves. The piece was written by Boise composer David Alan Earnest and librettist Diane Josephy Peavey, who splits her time between Hailey and the Flat Top Sheep Ranch near Carey. The choir will premiere the piece in two weeks in Lapwai, the home of the Nez Perce people. A number of patrons will accompany them, having paid $1,000 each to ride the bus to Lapwai and take VIP tours of the Nez Perce home. The commissioned piece was one of several songs about the land, ranging from “They Call the Wind Maria” to a rousing version of “America, The Beautiful.” In between, bass-baritone James Martin, a professor at Millsaps College in Mississippi,
entertained the audience with several pieces, including “Amazing Grace,” ”That Melody They Call the Blues” and music from Aaron Copland whom, he noted, set the tone for American music. “This night is not just about the land of the natives but all our native lands,” said Brown. “Whether you’re from Minnesota or Mississippi, we all have our native lands.” Pete Taylor was among those who turned out for Sunday’s concert. “They’re really good. They’ve sung all around Idaho and even had three singing tours in Europe,” he noted, as he sampled a Norwegian cookie from a smorgasbord of savories and desserts that preceded the concert. “They’re a great group of people and it’s nice to see the community spirit that helps fund them since almost all the things they do are free of charge.” The Caritas Chorale will perform the full “Nez Perce Promises” July 14 and 15 in Sun Valley and Hailey. It will hold its next fundraiser—“A Bayou Blast”—Sept. 9. The event will include a zydeco band performing Cajun music and line dancing. tws
R.L. Rowsey accompanied the chorale as they sang songs of the land amidst pictures of the land hanging in Gail Severn Gallery.
briefs Back Alley Parties Begin Next Week The Back Alley Party in Hailey will continue for its ninth season beginning Wednesday, June 20, from 6-9:30 p.m. Presented by FiggLeaf Productions and HeidiGlyphics every Wednesday evening, the free outdoor concerts always benefit a non-profit in the Wood River Valley. Musical entertainment is provided by a variety of Valley-based bands, covering everything from rock ‘n’ roll and folk to country and alternative. Over the years, the Back Alley Parties have raised more than $8,000 for Valley organizations through beer, wine and raffle sales at the “Figg/ Glyph” stand. While the event takes place at the stage area next to The Wicked Spud, The Wicked Spud does not produce the shows, nor do sales at The Wicked Spud benefit the evening’s fundraising.

Swiftsure Ranch Showcases New Digs with Open House STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
C
heryl Bennett gazes at a pond tucked out of sight of a horse barn where construction workers are batting down the roof over the stalls. Soon, she says, veterans recovering from injuries suffered in Afghanistan and Iraq will be able to ride horses out here and spend the morning fishing. Bennett is giddy about the possibilities that have opened up for the Sagebrush Equine Training Center for the Handicapped. The therapeutic riding program, which has been renamed the Swiftsure Ranch Therapeutic Equestrian Center, is set to reopen June 18 on the 191-acre Swiftsure Ranch two miles south of Bellevue. The new digs offer a plethora of possibilities not even imaginable at the nine-acre site the program leased for 20 years on Buttercup Road north of Hailey. “We can do camps, offer trail rides, host horse shows as fundraisers, lease part of the property out for weddings, grow and sell our own hay, board other horses, hold concerts as fundraisers, even offer wagon driving for those who can’t ride horses,” said Bennett, executive director of the program. The therapeutic program got the ranch for $1.9 million at auction. And workers have spent the past two months in a $200,000 to $300,000 remodel. They’ve bolstered the snow load on the indoor riding arena from 45 pounds per square foot to 65. They’ve added lounges and handicapped bathrooms to the arena. And they’ve repaired fences and put up new ones in preparation for an open house this Saturday. The open house will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 16. It will feature ranch tours and demonstrations of riding exercises and the handicapped lift that places riders atop horses. Free tacos will be served by Bellevue’s Calle 75 Street Tacos.
It’s a cowboy ball
Swiftsure will hold its annual Cowboy Ball on Thursday, July 12, at the Swiftsure Ranch. The ball, which includes a silent and live auction, dinner and live band for dancing, accounts for 60 percent to 65 percent of the program’s operating budget. Volunteers are in demand, as well. Information: 208-578-9111.
“We want to thank those who have donated the time and materials to enable us to move in, and we want to show the community what we have,” said board member Leslie Benz. The Swiftsure Ranch is sandwiched between Highway 75 and the Big Wood River on Calypso Road two miles south of Bellevue. It served as a cutting horse ranch and arena for jumping events in previous lives. Its name is a nautical term used for historic naval ships. “But it fits for a horse ranch because I think of horses as swift and sure,” said Bennett. The ranch offers three outdoor arenas, an indoor arena and 34 indoor horse stalls. “I can’t think of anyone else who would use this as much as we will,” said Bennett. “And the horses are happy—they’ll be able to lay down, graze in the pasture. They get to be horses instead of being in a stall all day.” The therapeutic riding program serves between 100 and 110 students a week who range in age from 2 to 80. The stride of the horse simulates the human walking gait, offering passive strengthening and training the movement patterns of those with movementoriented disabilities caused by multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, head injuries and paraplegia. Those with attention deficit disorder can learn to concentrate by being riding a horse with a choppy gait.
Volunteer Dudley Johnson feeds a pocketful of carrots to the therapeutic horses.
Cheryl Bennett inspects the gait of one of the horses as Trudy Peterson it rides through an arena that is still in the process of being fenced in.
Clients include kids from Camp Rainbow Gold, a summer camp for children with cancer; students from the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind; and wounded warriors participating in Sun Valley Adaptive Sports’ Higher Ground program. Services are offered free of charge, funded by donations and funds raised at the Cowboy Ball held each year in early July.

Bennett says she can’t wait for the remodel to be done so the program can start up again. “No matter how stressed my life, when I see what we’re doing, I feel good,” she said. “We’ve been working with a woman in her 40s who came to us after she had a stroke. It just goes to show any one of us could need these services tomorrow.” tws

Local Non-Profit for African Education
Make A Difference, Inc., a international non-profit founded in Sun Valley, Idaho, to help children rise out of poverty and become leaders within their countries, has announced its fourth annual Make A Difference Climb in Tanzania, Africa. The climb will be to the “Roof of Africa,” also known as Mount Kilimanjaro, in July of 2012. Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain (19,340 feet). The organization is seeking individuals and teams to join the founder of Make A Difference (MAD), Theresa Grant, as she climbs Kilimanjaro for education. Grant is a resident of the Wood River Valley. She has been helping underprivileged children get access to quality education since 2005. “For the first time ever, these children just got access to water. The need in Tanzania is greater than we could ever imagine,” commented Grant. She continued, “Water and education should not be a luxury. It should be a common right.” By helping just a small number of children at a time, MAD is able to provide children with quality education, nutrition, medical care, health awareness workshops and sports programs. All climbers will get the chance to meet the children MAD helps and work on projects such as ‘Read for Life’ which encourages children to learn how to read, and the Make A Difference garden, which provides food for the children.

I’m Gonna Live Forever St. Thomas Playhouse Summer Theater Project Presents Fame—The Musical BY KAREN BOSSICK
K
evin Wade and Peter Burke can relate to the physical and emotional toll that four years of acting school can take on its students. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that they graduated from Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. Now, they want to acquaint audiences with the strain acting students go through as they present “Fame—The Musical.” Summer Theater Project, a performing arts program of St. Thomas Playhouse, will stage the pop rock musical based on the 1980s movie at 7:30 p.m. tonight through Saturday at The Community School Theater in Sun Valley. Tickets are $5 for those 12 and under, $10 for those 13 through 18 and $20 for adults, available in advance at Iconoclast Books in Ketchum, by calling 208-7265349 or at the door. “I’d advise you to get them early,” said Wade. “Last year we had a group come up from Boise to see ‘Footloose’ and we had to turn them away because we were sold out.” “Fame—The Musical” follows a group of young people through four years at New York City’s High School of Performing Arts. The show revolves around acting, but it also offers several subplots involving love and unrequited love, the struggle of a young black man from a poor neighborhood to keep up academically, a young dancer dealing with weight issues and another young girl who finds solace in cocaine. It focuses on those who fulfill

their potential through hard work and those who don’t. The musical features a variety of dance forms, including ballet and hip-hop. It includes such popular music numbers as “Hard Work,” “I Want to Make Magic” and “Fame.” “The play was based on reallife situations. There is a performing arts high school named LaGuardia and that is where it takes place,” said the show’s music director, James Martin, a professional bass-baritone from Millsaps College in Mississippi. Burke said he remembers getting emotionally beat up at school. “They kept saying: You can be better. You can be better. You have it in you to be better,” he said. “All that was worth it when I finally did get a taste of success. The joy of being creative among other creative individuals who don’t do what everyone else does is so inspiring.” The title of the play alludes to the fact that the students have come to school in search of fame. “But I don’t think that’s what they’re really after,” said Wade. “They’re there because of a desire for love. They have a desire to fill a vacuum inside. “The first song is ‘Hard Work’ and it expresses exactly what it is about the performing arts that’s so challenging. It’s that challenge that spurs us on, trying to create something beautiful, that challenge that keeps us coming back.” tws

Their portraits have found their way into The Community Library, courtesy of Pat Draper who is displaying them in conjunction with Thursday’s visit by travel gurus Arthur and Pauline Frommer. “The photographs are truly breathtaking and, especially, the shots of the native women are a true reflection of what I like to call ‘The Anthropology of Adornment,’ ” said Hailey jewelry artisan Christina Healy, who has a number of Draper’s photos in her own private collection. Draper, who lives in Ketchum, set a goal of seeing all 54 African countries when she retired from Sotheby’s two years ago. She has seven left to see. “My first trip to Africa was during the Millennium when I went to Tanzania and Mali,” said Draper. “I got off the plane and looked around and said, ‘This looks like California. This is home.’ I absolutely fell in love with it.” Draper’s travels to Africa have contained an aura of excitement not typically reserved for a trip to Peoria, Ill. Her trip to Mauritania coincided with the overthrow of the government; she just missed a government being overthrown in Guinea. Her cruise ship skirting Madagascar and Mozambique had to change its itinerary

twice to escape pirates. Another cruise ship on a trip including Jordan, Egypt and Sudan had to be wrapped in barbed wire and escorted by guards with machine guns to avoid pirates. And Draper was in Cairo when 38 people were killed in Tahir Square during the Arab Spring uprising. Despite the blood pressure elevators, Draper said she fell in love with the animals and people of Africa. Most of the 17 pictures she is displaying at the Ketchum library were taken of the Suri and Mursi people of the lower Orno River Valley in Ethiopia. “These are tribes that came from Egypt to Ethiopia that look like they did back in old times—they’ve never changed. They’re mostly animist with a
few Christians. And they were fascinating.” The women wear red wigs, which makes them look alike, Draper said. The girls can decide for themselves whether to wear a lip plate. The men participate in a ritual to show their bravery when they come of age, running across the backs of bulls. “If they’re successful, all the young girls fall all over them,” Draper said. “Also, the men whip their backs to leave scars. It was hard for us to watch, but they’re very proud of their scars.” The tribes’ lives is likely going to be changed in the coming years as a dam is built, Draper said; “No one knows what it will do to the tribes so I feel fortunate I was able to see them when I did.” tws

Frommers Travels Lead to Sun Valley BY KAREN BOSSICK
P
auline Frommer has been traveling the world since she was four months old, accompanying her famous travel writer father on his fact-finding tours. But she’ll be making her first trip to Idaho this week when she and her father Arthur Frommer visit The Community Library in Ketchum. The two will discuss “Major New Developments in the World of Travel” in a free presentation at 6 p.m. They’ll then join in a toast and book signing in the library’s new travel section—The Departure Lounge. I’ve been in 46 states—this’ll be my 47th,” Pauline said. The library won a visit from the two, along with a suitcase full of travel guides, in a nationwide contest. This is the third year the Frommers have offered the contest. “Libraries are hugely important for our book publishers so this is a way to give back,” said Pauline Frommer, recounting how libraries in Illinois and Florida won the first two contests.. Of course, Pauline will seize the opportunity to do a little research for her syndicated column while in Sun Valley. “I don’t like to people knowing I’m there because I’m afraid it’ll screw up my research. But I know it’s the 40th anniversary of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area so I’ll definitely go there. I want to hit some Hemingway sites, and I hope to do some hikes right from downtown Ketchum. My tentative title is ‘Summer in Sun Valley’ because I figure people already
know Sun Valley as a ski town.” Pauline’s father Arthur, now 83, was a pioneer among travel guide writers of modern times. “After getting a law degree at Yale, he was drafted into the Army during the Korean War. But he was assigned to Germany because he discovered he spoke a number of languages including Russian and German,” Pauline said of her father who had an Austrian-born father and a Polish-born mother. “Europe was in ruins at that time so he thought he’d write a guide about what was worth seeing. The book— ‘The GI’s Guide to Traveling in Europe’—became a best seller in the military. So after a year of lawyering, he decide maybe civilians would like a similar guide.” That book—“Europe on $5 a Day”—became a best seller and changed the Frommer family’s life overnight. Arthur left the law profession and launched a guidebook company, and the family took to the road in the days before throwaway diapers, prompting Pauline’s mother to quip, the book should be named “Europe on Five Diapers a Day.” As she grew, Pauline found herself frequenting the beaches of Nice and eating deep-fried donuts at Tivoli when the finer things of life for her American counterparts meant a visit from the Good Humor man. Pauline courted a career as an actress in New York City, touring with “Les Miserables.” But the siren of the road was too strong and pretty soon she joined her father plowing through the world’s great museums. Now 46, Pauline has sampled grasshoppers in Indonesia, tried indoor sky diving and shown the spotlight on women-only travel,

She’s pioneered online travel reports and daily travel tips on iPhone, iPad and the Web, even as she co-hosts “The Travel Show” on radio and discusses travel on CNN. “We’re very thorough about what we do. When I did Las Vegas I stayed in a different hotel every night so I can definitely say Hotel A is better than Hotel B. That was a big order, considering Las Vegas has 3 percent of all the hotel rooms in the United States. I went to every wedding chapel, saw all of Vega’s 82 longrunning shows and visited every attraction in town,” said Pauline, who is on the road a third of the year while her husband stays home to school their daughters, ages nine and 13. “Oh, and I had to eat more than three meals a day to sample the restaurants. The researchers we have working for us are amazed how grueling the research process can be.” Pauline’s hard work has paid off.

I fly several times a month and I’ve found it takes an average 10 minutes longer. And travel is so much easier today in terms of the access we have to information that we didn’t used to have.” That said, Frommer has a cautionary note for those going on the Internet: “A lot of people are giving advice on the Internet, but the ones doing it honestly aren’t doing it methodically.” tws
• Portugal, Greece and Spain — those countries suffering economic downturn — offer remarkable value, especially Greece. “You’re not going to be affected by the political turmoil in those countries, and the people are really happy to see you.” • Guatemala comes highly recommended since the civil war has abated. “It possesses a fascinating culture, traditional dress, colonial cities and you can still get lovely meals for just $5.” • Poland is on the brink of becoming a major tourist destination. “No one went before because they hadn’t upgraded their trains and their highways were falling apart, but they threw millions of euros into their infrastructure when they hosted the soccer competition last summer. Krakow was not bombed during World War II and remains a perfectly preserved medieval city. They have some interesting museums, including one on the Solidarity Movement. And they have really good food. I thought it would be heavy and doughy but it’s really fresh.”

Wellness Institute Offers Numerology Workshop with McCants on June 30 BY KAREN BOSSICK
P
sst. Not getting any dates? You might want to change the number of your home address. At least, that’s what numerologist Glynis McCants suggests. McCants recalls a woman whose home address added up to 7— the number of a loner. The woman added an additional number alongside her house address and, even though she didn’t change the address with the post office, her love life immediately improved. “Knowledge brings power. You can change a relationship that’s on the wrong path if you know how. My books and seminars teach you how to use numbers as a tool for life,” said McCants. McCants will hold a numerology workshop — “Creating the Life You Really Want through the Power of Numerology”— from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 30, at All Things Sacred in The Galleria in Ketchum. An early-bird rate of $100 is available through Friday, June 15, at www.sunvalleywellnessinstitute.com. The fee is $120 afterwards. Numerology can help people pick the perfect date for surgery and avoid a wedding date disaster. It can also help you determine good dates to start up a new business, McCants said. McCants has been studying numerology for more than 21 years, using the 2,500-year-old Pythagoras number system. She has appeared on such TV programs as “The Today Show,” “The Dr. Phil Show,” “The View” and “Entertainment Tonight,”
and she has been featured in such magazines as “Time” and “People.” McCants will teach those in the workshop to do chart comparisons. She will also do readings throughout the class, using audience members as her examples. And she will do private readings on July 1 and 2. “I’m a devout Catholic who was given the gift,” said McCants, who has studied numerology for 27 years. “I’m like Russell Crowe in ‘A Beautiful Mind.’ T here’s never a time I don’t think numbers.” To illustrate, she asked me my birth date and quickly fired off a personality sketch. “You’re a number five, which means there’s never a dull moment with you. And you don’t like quiet,” she said. Fives make good writers, movie producers, directors, detectives and researchers, she said. They have strong convictions when they think they’re right. “It doesn’t take much to make you happy—a nice dinner, a beautiful sunset.” McCants pointed out that I have the same numbers as that of I’ll Have Another and Bodemeister—the horse I’ll Have Another narrowly beat in this year’s Kentucky Derby and Preakness. All of us have ones, fives and sevens— it’s very unusual to have all three numbers in a horse, said McCants. “Michael Phelps had a one and five,” she added. “People like yourself with one, five and seven need your freedom, so the more you get out and away from the
computer, the happier you are. You can never turn off or quiet your brain, but you have some of your best breakthroughs when you’re out in nature.” Anyone who understands numbers wasn’t surprised to see the Secret Service caught with their pants down or an Italian captain abandoning his cruise ship earlier this year, McCants said. “The year 2012 is a No. 5, which means adventure, never a dull moment, crazy all over the place,” McCants said. “Take the presidential race — Obama is in for the fight of his life.” Bill Gates, in contrast, is a No. 4, she said. “I call him a human computer.” Four turned out to be my husband’s number, as well. And, yes, my husband is a computer programmer. tws

The Buzz on Bees, Hornets and Wasps
W
hen looking at a flying, buzzing insect, have you ever thought, “Is that a bee, a hornet or a wasp?” Here are a few quick tips to help you determine what’s flying around your head: Bees are pollen collectors and are therefore covered in fuzzy or fine hairs. The three most commonly encountered species in Idaho include the honeybee, bumblebee, and sweat bee. In contrast to hornets and wasps, bees can only sting once. The primary purpose of a bee stinger is to sting other bees; therefore, bees almost always die shortly after stinging people because the stinger becomes embedded in the skin. Pain as a result of a sting comes from the venom rather than the sting itself. Humans react in varying degrees to bee stings, from mild swelling to a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. According to most definitions of wasps, all hornets are wasps. Wasps are members of the family Vespidae, which includes yellowjackets and hornets. Wasps generally have two pairs of wings and are not fuzzy; they are almost bare and shiny. Hornets are a small subset of wasps not native to North America. They are somewhat fatter around the middle than your average wasp and, like the wasp, they are not fuzzy. The European hornet is now widespread on the East Coast of the U.S., none of which occur in Idaho or any adjoining western state. Like other wasps, hornets can sting over and over again and can be extremely aggressive. Keep in mind not all stinging insects are bad and they do play a vital role in our ecosystem. tws For more information on Living Well visit your Blaine County Extension office at 302 First Avenue South in Hailey, phone: (208) 788-5585 or e-mail: blaine@ uidaho.edu website: http://www. uidaho.edu/extension

Are CFLs Too Expensive?
T
he Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 requires that between 2012 and 2014 all general-purpose light bulbs that produce 310-2600 lumens of light be 30 percent more energy efficient than current incandescent bulbs. That means many consumers are shifting to CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) because they are a readily available alternative. As with any change, questions are bound to arise as to the wisdom of such a shift. While the overall policy can always be debated, many widely held myths surrounding CFLs should be noted. Detractors of CFLs often claim that the lamps (CFLs are called lamps instead of bulbs) are too expensive. CFLs do, indeed, cost more than incandescent bulbs, but, not only do CFLs use less energy than incandescent bulbs—up to 75 percent less—CFLs also last longer. Estimates range from six to 10 times longer. That means for every CFL you purchase, you would have had to replace your old bulbs more than five times. You do the math! Also, new technology always costs more. CFL prices have already dropped and it is fair to assume that products will improve and prices will continue to drop as other competitors (halogen and LED) gain market attention. tws

Birds on the Wing STORY & PHOTO BY BALI SZABO
F
or a month or more, every early morning, rain or shine, I didn’t just wake to the social chorus of songbirds, I awoke, too, to the honks of geese, flying in formation overhead. This brought to mind the whole world of larger birds and, specifically, their habits of flight. Birds large and small are aerodynamic wonders. Their body size and wing design have evolved to match their habitats and functions. Wing shape and size tell a lot about how a bird lives, and what it can and cannot do. Nature is full of quid pro quos. Flight is all about energy cost (we consumers know that). To determine that, scientists calculate wing loading; i.e., body weight divided by wing surface area. Usually, the larger the bird, the greater the wing area. A grebe or a loon spend most of their time swimming. Their relatively small wing size to body weight forces them to get a running start for a labored takeoff, wings flapping furiously to get lift. A same-weight herring gull with a larger wing area seems, in comparison, an effortless flier. The other key feature is aspect ratio—a wing’s span compared to its width. Most of our songbirds have elliptical wings which provide lift, control, maneuverability and acceleration—useful attributes in trees, brush and housecat evasion. Aircraft design has been emulating birds for a century. One bird no one emulates is the albatross, which weighs around twenty pounds and has a 10-foot wingspan with a narrow one-foot width. In brief, this

means it has high stall speed; if it lacks sufficient velocity, it will fall out of the sky. The bird is lousy at slow speeds. Its landings and takeoffs are controlled disasters. Face plants and head-over-heels tumbles are not unusual. A comic strip (Pogo?) had an albatross as a mailman. Every mail delivery was a sight gag. The albatross, like a whole class of large birds, was built to soar. The dignity of the albatross is preserved by its other accomplishments—and it rarely ever lands. Like other large oceanic birds, they spend almost their entire life in the air. They feed by skimming the water’s surface in flight… may nap on the water for an hour, then take off again. They can stay aloft weeks at a time by locking their wings in place and just soaring. Takeoffs use a lot of energy, so they stay on the wing. Ocean waves generate wind currents and shape the wind. The albatross ascends windward to 65 feet at a wave crest, loops down leeward
and repeats the process. It does this effortlessly as long as there are wind and waves. It can also circle the globe in less than 80 days. And what of our friends, the Canada geese? Another way to beat energy use is to fly in formation. In flight, swirling vortices of air come off the wing tips. The upwash generates lift and aids a drafting companion. This energy economy can be as high as 50 percent in heavy birds like geese, storks and pelicans, whose heartbeats also drop when drafting. Each species knows the exact aerodynamic position to be in, down to the centimeter. And, of course, periodically the bird flying point is replaced by a rested one. Scientists think the honking is a form of communication (just like the chatter of songbirds) concerning in-flight status, like a bunch of kids in the back seat who want to know, ‘Are we there yet?’

ou might think that this thin paperback is a fast read, but no, it is a slow, deliberate, and thoughtful read. It can be unsettling and it will make you search your very own soul; it’s a philosophical and even a spiritual book. Elizabeth Gilbert author of Eat, Pray, Love says of this book: “This is a beautiful, thoughtful, and wonderful book. I suspect I may find myself thinking about it every day for the rest of my life.” I couldn’t have said it better. It is a true story about one man’s tortuous quest for freedom, for the ability to “let go” yet still be happy without worry and be able to contribute to society. In his young life, he lived in many different United States locations; he traveled to the Alaskan hinterlands as well as to Ecuador (Peace Corps), India, Nepal and Thailand. He fought to preserve trees by living awhile on the top of them (Oregon). He presently lives a large part of his existence in the red canyoned caves outside of Moab, Utah; forages for food, has no money and not even an identity card. He’s done this successfully for 12 years. He
found it most difficult to humble himself, to forgo his own pride and to admit to being dependent on others. Some of his conclusions about living this way are: “The more people have, the less they give”; “Generous cultures produce less waste because excess is shared”; “Stingy nations fill their landfills with leftovers.” A modern-day successor to Thoreau and Walden Pond? Well, you decide. No matter what, though, this is not a story about an extreme, weird or half-baked man. It is beautifully told by Sundeen and I recommend it highly for one of your summer reads. You won’t be sorry. As a side fact, Suelo has very active blog that you might want to check out. P.S. Ray Bradbury just passed on 6/6/12. He was 91. What an amazing author. It’s a bit odd the numbers of the day that he passed: 6 + 6 = 12. Knowing Ray, he probably planned it that way and it must signify something that we don’t know.

hat can I say? The new, overbloated action/adventure film Marvel’s The Avengers bored me to tears. Even though the film has made a bazillion dollars and thrilled audiences around the world, as far as I was concerned the emperor was not wearing any clothes. This certainly came as a surprise to me because I was weaned in my earlier years on Marvel comic books and was enthralled by the adventures of the Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Spiderman and the Fantastic Four. Except for the first two Spidermans, directed by the brilliant Sam Raimi, and some enjoyable moments supplied by Robert Downey, Jr. in the first Ironman, the genre leaves you flat and unfulfilled, unlike the thrills supplied by those earlier comic books.
The movie is directed by Joss Wheldon, who friends and critics assure me is a great director. I certainly want to catch up with his film Cabin in the Woods that I hear great things about. But here it’s hard to tell if his talent is vastly overrated or if he was a corporate tool of the mighty Walt Disney Company to come up with product and merchandise that it could sell. What can you say about the absurd and inane plot? I certainly couldn’t follow it, so try to find a 10-year-old to explain it to you. Thor’s evil brother has returned to earth to capture a crystal cube that holds infinite power (what other kind of power is there?). Samuel L. Jackson then assembles the superheroes to save the world. Other than Scarlett Johansson in a superhot black leather suit, there’s not much super about them except for Mark Ruffalo’s turn as the Hulk. He alone gives the film some pizzazz as a tortured scientist that knows he can get very angry at any time. Not as angry as you’ll probably be for squandering your money on this mess. tws
This daylong online retreat is a worldwide event sponsored by Winter Feast For The Soul that will be offered locally at two locations here in our Valley. The event honors the Summer Solstice, the longest day of sunlight of the year. It also announces the beginning of the worldwide Summer of Peace that is sponsored by the Shift Network. The retreat will consist of seven guided meditations with 10-minute breaks in between. Locations are not yet firmed up; details will be available by Monday. Most probable locations will the Maha Shakti Yoga Center in Hailey and Light On The Mountains Spiritual Center in Ketchum. Both events will begin at 7 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m. The guided meditations and talks are available online for those who cannot be present for the local offerings. This format offers people the opportunity to make their own schedule in the privacy of their own home. And if a full day is too much, then you can also break up the talks by doing one a day for seven days. A full day of immersion is recommended wherever possible. There is no charge for these events. A suggested donation will be $15 to cover facilities. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
MASSV Music and Arts Showcase Debuts this Summer
When art, music and the majestic scenery of Sun Valley come together, it becomes MASSV. The latest and most exciting event to happen this summer in Sun Valley will be the inaugural MASSV Music and Arts Showcase, July 13-14. The two-day music and arts festival in downtown Ketchum will take place at the Simplot lot, future home of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, across from the Ketchum Post Office. This historic event will feature Ghostland Observatory, of Beats Antique and The Adventure Club in addition to many other musical acts. Invoking the spirit of Mardi Gras and garnering some inspiration from Bonnaroo, MASSV encourages festival goers of all ages to enjoy the party with costumes and art projects. Expect local “tweener” acts of art and music, too. The summer fun and super-charged atmosphere will include jugglers, stilt walkers, break dancers, hula hoppers, African drummers, scratch DJs and many other entertainers all throughout the two-day event. Enjoy an art car parade, a torch-lit drum march from the Simplot lot to Main Street in Ketchum after the main stage closes each night where a street party will ensue with laser light shows and more to continue the MASSV groove. Gates will open on Friday, July 13, at 2 p.m. The show will start at 4 p.m. and end at 11 p.m. A Ketchum street party will take place from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. On Saturday, July 14, gates open at 12 p.m. and the show will take place from 2 to 11:30 p.m., followed by a Ketchum street party from 11:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. For more details, visit www.massvmusicfest.com or e-mail massvmusic@gmail.com.

Carnes is Hittin’ For a Livin’ STORY & PHOTO BY JONATHAN KANE
C
hris Carnes, Wood River High School junior, just loves to hit people. Thankfully, it’s only on the football field, where he can throw his 6foot-4, 260-pound frame around to good use. “Football is my life,� he said. “There’s nothing in the world that means as much to me.� Carnes has been playing football for six years now, beginning with the eighth-grade team when he was in sixth and seventh grades. “I was 210 pounds in sixth grade and Mr. Nelson noticed how big I was and asked me if I wanted to play. They brought me out onto the field, I watched two minutes and said that football was for me. I went right into pads and learning plays and started hitting people. First they called my parents and they said sure. I was right out there and I was a lot bigger than the other eighth graders. A lot of them asked if I’d ever played before and I said no, so they thought they could beat up on me, but that stopped when I broke a kid’s arm the first day during a defensive lineman drill and I fell on top of them. They brought out the ambulance and I felt bad, but it was awesome. I would always watch NFL games and they would really light it up. All the other kids said, ‘Are you sure you’ve never played or are you messing with us?’ At first I played the offensive line at left tackle. I loved it and I still watch the movie The Blind Side once a month. I didn’t understand the plays or what was supposed
to happen. I just pretty much pushed kids over. In seventh grade the coach said my job was that no one was to touch the quarterback and that’s what I did.� In ninth grade Carnes started on the JV squad but also suited up for the varsity four times. His sophomore year he joined the varsity at 300 pounds. “I was good on the line but I wasn’t as fast or strong as the kids I was playing against, like Buhl and Jerome. I was going against seniors and I got my butt kicked. I was ‘flat backed’ a lot which means that someone has driven you straight to your back. I was about the same size but they were so much faster that they were pushing me back before I could stand up.� His junior year Carnes moved to defensive tackle and the school had its best record in 35 years. He started every game. “We had a good offensive lineman so I played defense. That’s my position. It’s what I’m best at and I’m way better than I was at offensive tackle. My job is to get the guy with the ball and I’m good at that. I like to hit—not push people at the offensive line. Hitting is in my blood. If I’m angry I go out on the field and leave it there.� Carnes added, “This year’s record was awesome. There isn’t a better feeling in the world than to be part of a winning team and making the state playoffs.� Wood River lost to Blackfoot, who were the threetime state champs and won it all again this year.

year is to dominate the defensive line and to get recruited for college. To that end he has put together a highlight reel and has already received interest from schools as far away as Minnesota and Illinois. He is working out seven days a week, mostly to increase his speed to match his newer, svelte body weight of 260 pounds. But his biggest advantage is his passion for the game. “I just love being part of a team. At home games everyone is cheering and everyone knows who you are. When you sack the quarterback and look into his eyes, it’s the best feeling in the world. It’s great to know that you’re better than somebody and that you worked harder to beat them.� tws

It Was a Memorable Weekend in Sports BY BALI SZABO
O
ver the years, Rafael Nadal has owned the red clay courts of Roland Garros in Paris. As a result, he has won the French Open six times, equalled only by Bjorn Borg. (Chris Evert had seven wins there). One more win would give him the men’s record. Novak Djokovic, his opponent, has never won this major. His win in the Australian Open in January was an epic six-hour struggle with Nadal. The media crowed, ‘Either way, the winner will make history.’ Nadal was 51-1 at Roland Garros. He hadn’t lost a set in this tournament, and Djokovic had never won a set against ‘Rafa’ here, and he has never won here, period. This year, a win here would give him four consecutive Grand Slams in a calendar year, last done 43 years ago by the great Aussie lefty Rod Laver. The stage was set for a great upset or a great continuance. The match began on a cold, rainy day in a light drizzle. The low gray skies hung ominously over center court. Nadal jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead. Playing Nadal, the opponent has two choices, a quick or a slow death. Djokovic chose the latter, as neither man gave up on a point. Eventually, Nadal took a two-set lead (its the best three out of five), but the increasingly wetter conditions changed the game. The slower surface and a heavier ball negated Nadal’s game; he hits a live ball with spin and jump. The more predictable bounce began to favor ‘Djoko’s forehand power and serve returns. After a 30-minute rain delay, Nadal closed out the second set, 6-3. The third set was all Djoko, and Nadal began to complain about the conditions, and requested a stoppage. He lost the set, 6-2. By the fourth set, with Djoko up 2-0, Nadal had lost eight straight games. He cried louder and the stoppage was granted at 6:30 p.m., Paris time. Play resumed at 7 a.m., EST. Nadal quickly erased Djoko’s lead and went on to win the set, 7-5. He had his dry courts back, and Djoko lost his momentum. He double faulted on a championship point, and Nadal had his three-set win. In the women’s final on Saturday, No. 1 Maria Sharapova won in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, over 21st-ranked Sara Errani. Maria has never let her beauty interfere with her tennis. She’s been on the comeback trail for 3 1/2 years, when she had shoulder surgery. She must be O.K. Her serves were clocked at over 100 mph. This was her first win at the French Open. She has now won all four majors.
A Triple Crown ‘Threepeat’
In the Belmont Stakes, Union Rags won in a photo finish besting another Baffert horse, Paynter. For the third straight race, a Baffert horse has finished second, and each time the horses tried to win by leading wire to wire, only to be overtaken in the last half furlong. Union Rags, ridden by the veteran John Velasquez, stayed off the pace, but within striking distance. When Paynter, still in the lead, strayed off the rail, Union Rags had his opening, and that’s how the race was won and lost. Jock-

L.A. Kings Win Their First Stanley Cup
The New Jersey Nets, down 0-3 in the Finals, came back from the brink and won twice to send the series back to L.A. The King’s dominance was only on paper. They won 2-1 (OT), 2-1 (OT), 4-0, then dropped two, 3-1 and 2-1. And then, in Monday’s game, the fate of the New Jersey Devils was decided in the span of a few minutes during the first period. Steve Bernier of N.J. was ejected and assessed a five minute major penalty. In the ensuing three minutes Dustin Brown scored twice, Trevor Lewis added another goal, and for all intents and purposes the Devils were done. They lost 6-1 and the L.A. Kings franchise had its first Stanley Cup in its 45-year history.
NBA Eastern Conference Final
The geriatric Boston Celtics, up 3-2 in the series, were unable to put away the younger Miami Heat and lost the seventh and final game in Miami, 101-88. Miami and MVP LeBron James move on to face the Oklahoma Thunder and the leading scorer, Kevin Durant. Miami’s $300 million ‘Big Three’—James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade—scored the Heat’s last 31 points to finish off a tired Celtics team who just couldn’t hit their shots. No doubt this will hasten the breakup of Boston’s ‘Big Three’—Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Allen. It’ll be time to rebuild.

fter Saturday’s Grappler’s Quest in Boise at CenturyLink Arena, USA Grappling Academy participants brought home six gold medals, one bronze and three championship belts. Storm Anderson, Wood River High School soon-to-be senior, brought home four gold medals and two championships belts, winning both the teen and adult no-gi advanced and the teen and adult blue belt divisions at 169 pounds. For the first time in history in Grapplers Quest, a teen has swept the adult divisions. Storm won all of his matches by submission. Additionally, Rocket Stickney brought home a bronze medal for his efforts in the teens white belt 155-pound division, and Julie Daniels brought home two gold medals and a championship belt, winning the women’s no-gi intermediate and the women’s 125-pound division. These athletes all train at USA Grappling Academy in Bellevue.
‘I Was Robbed!’
Boxing is making headlines again, and for all the wrong reasons. Two Las Vegas judges took boxing back to its roots by refusing to grant Manny Pacquiao the win he so obviously deserved by scoring the fight 115 to 113 in favor of undefeated challenger for the WBO Welterweight title, Timothy Bradley. There’s much more money to be made in a rematch than if the fighters went their separate ways. It seems boxing can’t have a reborn Christian and a member of the Philippine Parliament as its flag-bearer. Manny’s homophobic comments weren’t enough to cement his status as a tough guy. Boxing is more comfortable with Floyd Mayweather, Jr., who is serving a three-month jail sentence for spousal abuse and couldn’t even watch the fight on Pay-Per-View. The ESPN commentator and boxing blueblood called the sport, and this decision, corrupt and desperately in need of an overhaul. Manny landed 94 more power punches and clearly dominated the game Bradley. One legitimate question does persist: Has a more ‘civilized,’ kinder and gentler Pacquiao lost his ferocity—his ability and will to put people away? His trainer Freddy Roche has voiced these concerns.

Land Trust: Big Wood River Greenway Needs the Public’s Help Wood River Land Trust is pleased to announce receiving a generous Lennox Foundation grant to help cover costs associated with the restoration work at the Big Wood River Greenway (Greenway) at Lions Park in Hailey. This grant will provide needed capital to continue restoration efforts which began a couple of years ago, including: designing a new entrance for the park, re-vegetating the area with native plants, and creating walking trails linking the Greenway to the Croy Canyon area and popular Carbonate Mountain trailhead. This is a story of waste-land to
wonder-land. To read more about our efforts to establish a protected and cherished Greenway for Hailey, please visit our website. There is still more work to do and we still need funding. More garbage was uncovered than originally anticipated. Instead of leaving the 600 cubic yards of debris in the ground, we took it out and sifted topsoil from it. This will decrease the amount of topsoil we need to haul in and help reduce costs. In addition to the work mentioned above, we will also finish building a pedestrian bridge later this year, linking the east and west sides of the river.
Wood River Land Trust is also looking to install video cameras and software, allowing us to establish a video link to our website. This will help us participate in a national effort to quantify the number of visitors to parks. The live feed on our website will be a fantastic way to hear and see the wildlife which call this special place home. For more information or to contribute to the Greenway, please contact Wood River Land Trust’s Director of Development, Daphne Muehle at dmuehle@woodriverlandtrust.org

BLM Closes Nighttime Use at Skinny Dipper Hot Springs If you travel over to the Lowman area, and are used to recreating at the Skinny Dipper Hot Springs, you should know that the BLM Four Rivers Field Office has temporarily closed the Skinny Dipper Hot Springs site in Boise County to all recreational use from sunset to sunrise. The parking area along the Banks-Lowman Highway and the trail from the parking area to the hot springs are included in the partial closure. The closure will help provide for public safety. Since 2004, there have been several fatalities, assaults and
numerous injuries associated with nighttime use of the area. Due to its location, the public does not have cellular phone access, which adds to concerns regarding nighttime use. The parking area adjacent to the Banks-Lowman Highway near milepost 4, the trail from the parking area to Skinny Dipper Hot Springs, and all areas within 1,000 feet of the hot springs are closed from sunset to sunrise each day. The BLM has posted closure signs at main entry points to the closed area and/or other locations onsite. Information about the closure,
including maps of the affected area, will be posted in the BLM’s Four Rivers Field Office at 3948 Development Avenue, Boise, Idaho. This closure and restriction will take effect immediately and will remain in effect until further notice. Persons who are exempt from this closure include contractors hired by the BLM to work in the area; search and rescue personnel; and federal, state or local officials working within the scope of their duties.

Make a Cake for Dad BY MARGOT VAN HORN
J
ust in time, this recipe is coming to you for a Father’s Day treat. The establishment of Father’s Day has an interesting, convoluted history. In 1910, Sonora Smart Dodd, whose father, William Jackson Smart, was a Civil War veteran, told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday as mothers. Her father was a single parent who reared his six children in Spokane, Wash. Young Sonora admired her father greatly. She originally wanted the holiday on her father’s birthday, June 5; however, because there wasn’t enough time for the pastors to arrange their sermons, the holiday was deferred to the third Sunday of June. The holiday never really caught on. However, in 1913 a bill was introduced in Congress for the national recognition of Father’s Day. Congress resisted because they felt that the holiday would become too commercialized. President Coolidge recommended it in 1924 but, once again, it was defeated by Congress. In 1957, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years and pointed out that it wasn’t fair to celebrate only one parent—the mother. So, finally, in 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers and designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. However, the day wasn’t made a permanent national holiday until six years later when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972. Whew!!!! Finally!!!! A happy Father’s Day to all fathers everywhere! Are you a frustrated, overworked or timid cook?

Wedding Planning Elevates Dance to a Whole New Level
Ketchum Arts Festival - Meet the Artist Series
The Brown Drake
STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
W
hen Noilen Corrales and Rob Hogan began planning their wedding last month, they decided they wanted to make a splash with the first dance. They enlisted the help of Ketchum dance instructors Dale and Peggy Bates. Together they selected a medley of music that started with “It Happened in Sun Valley,� featured the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s “Fishin’ in the Dark� in the middle and ended with a reprise of “It Happened in Sun Valley.� Then the Bates showed the couple some special dance steps starting with a grand entry onto the dance floor that would be sure to wow those in Corrales’ native country of Costa Rica. “I’d totally do it again,� said Corrales, a florist for Sue Bridgman. “It’s so nice to have someone go over your song with you and give you some ideas and pointers. We felt very comfortable about being in the spotlight and everyone applauded and commented on what we’d done at the end. They were very impressed—and that’s saying a lot since everyone in Costa Rica are good dancers.� Quieting the nerves that often accompany the first dance is exactly why the Bateses are offering new custom wedding dance packages. “For the first dance, all eyes are on the couples and everyone’s taking pictures. They’re all nervous about how they’re going to look—they’re asking themselves, ‘Do we just stand there and sway or do we try to make some moves?’ People invest so much thought into clothing, catering and where the wedding’s going to be. If we can alleviate the pressure of the first dance, it’s a winwin for everyone,� said Peggy. The Bateses decided to offer the package when they realized that many of the couples in their Fun-damentals of DancZen classes were engaged and looking for help with their dance steps. The packages they offer cover the first dance following the exchange of wedding vows, along with father-daughter dances, mother-son dances and bridal party dances. For the first dance, they ask the couple to pick an adjective they would like to describe their dance, ranging from fun to loving, entertaining to sentimental. Then they help select the music, design how the couple makes their grand entry onto the dance floor and work with the couple on some moves in three 90-minute lessons. They’ll even help couples design a dance down the aisle similar to what they did at their own wedding. “It seems like a great wedding idea, making that first dance special, and we love the Bates’ dance instruction,� said Sun Valley resident Steve Gannon. “They start off teaching you how to lead and how to follow, which is a pretty big part of dance,� said Ketchum resident Michael Cortese. “By under-

• First dance wedding packages cost $475 for three 90-minute lessons and private consultation. • Private dance lessons cost $100 an hour. • The Bates also offer a fourclass workshop titled The Fun-damentals of Partnership DancZen that includes ballroom, Latin and swing dancing. The next workshop begins tonight and costs $80 a person. • They also offer monthly Club DancZen nights, which include an hour lesson followed by two hours of open dance for $10 a person. • Classes are held at Studio Move, 231 Northwood Way, #B600 in Ketchum.

standing that, you can do the rest pretty easy.� Partner dancing took a back seat in American culture during the 1950s with the rise of rock and roll and individual expressionism, Dale said. Now, partner dancing is becoming more popular, thanks to TV shows such as “Dancing with the Stars� and “So You Think You Can Dance,� he added. Dale himself learned how to dance by watching dancers in Indian discos, Austrian tea bars and black Chicago nightclubs. Of course, it didn’t hurt that dancing genes ran in his family—his aunt and uncle were jitterbug champions in the Midwest during the 1930s. “People began asking me how I learned to dance like I did and I began thinking about how I could teach in a way that’s not confusing,� he said. “The way I teach requires no steps or patterns to memorize.

After awhile, she finds that I’m serving the expression of her dance.� Peggy can vouch for the ease with which her husband teaches. “I’ve always liked to dance but I had never danced with a partner before I met Dale. He taught me at a studio in Salt Lake City and never gave me a single verbal instruction. He led. I followed. And we had a blast.�

Seven Strategies for Saving Your Hard-Earned Money BY PATRICK BUCHANAN, STATE FARM® AGENT
A
re you doing your best to save for your future? It can be very challenging to begin a savings program. After necessities such as food, clothing and housing, there can be little left to put aside for future goals. Unfortunately, failing to save could mean the difference between enjoying a comfortable retirement and giving up some basic needs. Often it is a matter of making the decision to begin saving now in order to buy a new home or car later. The goals you set are important to you. Making changes to prepare for those goals can make a big difference. For that reason, State Farm has looked at various ways to get
a person’s savings plan on track and came up with seven strategies that you can use today. 1. Don’t splurge with your tax refund. Instead of spending your refund, use it wisely by paying down debt, funding an individual retirement account, or saving it for future financial goals. 2. Take full advantage of your employer’s retirement contributions. Your employer may match a percentage of the contributions you make to your retirement savings plan. It’s a good idea to do what it takes to get the matching limit. It’s free money that can really help your bottom line during retirement. 3. Start small and stay steady. The first word is the most important —start. You
should begin as early as possible to get the most out of your savings plan. 4. Pay yourself first. Think of your savings or investments as a bill you must pay on a regular basis, much the same as a car or mortgage payment. Be disciplined and make the payments according to a set schedule. For better results, establish an automatic monthly deduction from your paycheck or checking account to fund an investment or savings account. 5. Create separate pots of savings for upcoming life stages. Retirement may be an important goal for which to begin saving, but other goals or events need as much or more preparation. Don’t short-change other goals while concentrat-
ing on one thing. Whether it’s a home, car or child’s education, it is important to give appropriate attention to each. 6. If you have children, find the right education plan. You have a number of choices when it comes to saving for a child’s education. Finding the one that makes sense for your situation takes planning and information. This takes us to the seventh and, quite possibly, the most important point… 7. Work with someone you know and trust. Everyone’s needs and goals are unique. Just as you go through many changes during your lifetime, your financial goals may change. You should work with a professional who not only knows about various plans and strategies,
but knows you and will stay with you through the long haul. Most people feel the best guidance they receive comes from a financial professional they know and trust. In the end, it all boils down to making a plan, getting started and staying the course. When you make the decision to finally start, contact a financial professional who knows you and understands your needs. tws

Goats brought their insatiable appetite to the bike path near Cold Springs last summer.

here’s Billy the Kid? He’s returned to a neighborhood near you. The weed-eating goats that made their debut in the Wood River Valley last year have returned for an all expenses-paid vacation in Sun Valley. Seven hundred goats will chomp their way through knapweed, leafy spurge and other noxious weeds lining 18 miles of the Wood River Trail bike path, beginning in Bellevue and making their way north over the next six weeks. The program is part of a joint project by the Blaine County Recreation District and the Pesticide Action Network of Blaine County (PAN BC) to see if the goats can eat up the weeds before they have a chance to go to seed. It’s funded by local residents Brian Ross and Susan Reinstein. The purpose is to eliminate the use of chemical sprays. “Using goats for weed management as an alternative to pesticides and herbicides is an example of our commitment to the sustainability and the health of our community. We are excited about the second year of our pilot project and look forward to reviewing the results and effectiveness of this approach thus far,” says Jim Keating, BCRD executive director. Keating said it was too early to determine the effectiveness of the project because the goats pushed some old seeds into the ground as they munched down last year. They presumably will eat those plants this year. “I was pretty pleased with what I’ve seen so far,” Keating said. “We went into this knowing it would be a two- to three-year project. Even if we had had just one year where we didn’t spray, we did about as good a job as if we had sprayed—even spraying doesn’t stop knapweed completely. I feel good about trying something new and progressive.” The four-legged weed whackers hung around a little longer than planned last year as some Valley residents rented them out to use on their own properties. “We learned some lessons, as well,” Keating said. “We bedded them too long at Myrtle so the

public could see them, but they impacted the area there more than we would have liked. We got more surgical as we headed north.” Other municipalities, including Boise and Los Angeles, have started using goats to control weeds. The goats prefer highprotein species like knapweed over desirable plants like grasses. Their digestive tracts also break down over 95 percent of the knapweed seeds they eat, preventing those seeds from taking root. The goats being used in Sun Valley are from Prescriptive Livestock Services, based in White Bird, Idaho, and Kennewick, Wash. Prescriptive is the largest contract-grazing operator of its kind in the western United States.

Sun Valley Resort has officially opened all three of its courses for the 2012 golf season, offering guests 45 holes of play and the introduction of its Premier Unlimited Golf Package. This is the first full season that Sun Valley will offer 45 holes of resort play, after acquiring the adjacent Elkhorn private club last summer. The resort’s Unlimited package takes advantage of long summer days from June 23 to September 3, offering preferred tee times on the three courses throughout the guest’s stay, plus overnight accommodation and shuttle transfers between courses, starting at $320 per player, per night. It includes complimentary access to the 18-hole Sawtooth Putting Course, as well. “By including a championship private course experience to our popular resort play on the Trail Creek course and White Clouds alpine layout, we’ve increased the value of our golf packages for individuals and groups,” said Rick Hoffman, director of Golf Operations. Golfers looking for May play can reap Early Birdie benefits with golf packages starting at $119 for golf and overnight accommodations.

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR JUne 13, 2012 By: Jim sanTa
The first big event of the season, the brown drake hatch, has come and gone a n d I hope you had a chance to experience what was quite a spectacle of nature. If you missed this one, not to worry there’s plenty more to come just around the corner. With the brown drakes gone, the focus on Silver Creek turns back to the preserve waters and fishing here has been good. We’ve seen some nice hatches of pmd’s especially during fair weather periods and the fish have been receptive to most pmd patterns, presentation as always being critical. The creek tends to be a bit more forgiving in the early season with the fish becoming increasingly educated as the season progresses. In addition to the pmd’s, we’ve seen some baetis, callibaetis and a few green drakes in the mix. Beetles and damsel nymphs will round out your selection for the creek. After quite a spike in flow on the Big Wood the levels are dropping and the clarity is improving. I have confidence that we’ll see reasonable fishing levels coincide with the emergence of the green drakes. When the flow drops to 800 c.f.s. and below the river starts to become pretty fishable. Follow this link; http:// waterdata.usgs.gov/id/nwis/rt to check water flows around the state. With the current water flow hovering around 1000 c.f.s. there is some fishing to be had. It takes a bit of exploring but if you’ll find some fish if you make the effort to find some side channels and slower moving water along the edges of runs. Most large bead head nymphs such as prince and stoneflies will suffice. My best guess is we are a couple weeks away from some green drakes and dry fly action on the Big Wood, but then only a fool would make a prediction on fishing! It’s still early and we can certainly count on some outstanding fishing soon. July will promise fireworks on the local waters. Stay tuned and stop by our convenient locations in both Hailey and Ketchum for the latest reports.

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, Saturday used to be my favorite day of the week. My wife would go shopping at garage sales for a few hours and I could do whatever I wanted. Although as summer approached, her shopping took most of the day because she stopped at every garage sale advertised in the newspaper. The problem grew when she took over our entire 2-car garage with her "amazing deals" on corncob holders, crocheted tissue boxes and hundreds of toys for the grandkids. I can live with a few purchases, but this seems to be getting out of hand. Worse yet, it's only mid-summer and I think she's starting to eye my den for more storage. Any idea how to stop this garage sale Godzilla before she takes over our house?
â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Cash: You're lucky. Your wife could be shopping retail! Then you'd have to worry every time a sale flyer comes out. Carry: Finding that "amazing deal" can be addicting. It's tough to pass up an item valued at $100 when you can buy it for only a dollar. Cash: If your wife truly enjoys
Fast Facts Shop Till You Drop
Duane â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cashâ&#x20AC;? Holze & Todd â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carryâ&#x20AC;? Holze 06/10/12 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ
the thrill of treasure hunting at garage sales, then try coming up with a list of items that you both agree would be useful. Write down some things needed for around the house, for the grandchildren or even for friends or family. Offering some direction while shopping can help to minimize impulsive purchases. Carry: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like grocery shopping. If I shop without a list and find a two-for-one sale on string beans, I end up buying two cans. And I don't even like string beans! Cash: Unfortunately, it's also possible your wife's hobby may have crossed over to her becoming a shopaholic. It's one thing to enjoy
treasure hunting at garage sales, but another when it starts affecting people in her life. If she's experiencing addictive behavior that she can no longer control, then it may be time for you to step in and find her professional help. Carry: Now solving your existing room dilemma is easy. Much like your wife's typical Saturday afternoon, it's time to have a garage sale of your own. If you're not using the items she bought, it's time to move them on. The grandchildren can only play with so many toys. Cash: Besides, after the sale you may find you'll become addicted as well to converting all those unnecessary items into cash!
Reader Humor Fits Perfectly
It's estimated that 1 in 20 people, some 17 million Americans, are Shopaholics. They fall into the category of people who shop to feel better about themselves, even at the expense of their family, marriage or finances. People seldom acknowledge this disorder and rarely attempt to obtain treatment until their debt catches up with them. Although this disorder may be more prevalent in today's society, it does have history. A German psychiatrist first published the clinical disorder back in 1915.
When my wife and I had a yard sale, she cleaned out every closet in the house. There were racks and racks of clothing. Since I know people like to try on the clothes before they buy them, I asked my son to set up one of our many camping tents to use as a changing room. On the morning of the sale, he went out early to set up the tent. When I came out I realized I should have been more specific about which tent to set up. "What do you think?" he said pointing to his accomplishment. "It looks good," I commended. "But I doubt people will like changing in a screen tent." (Thanks to Alex B.)
Celebrity Shopping
Impulsive shopping can affect everyone, even celebrities. Elton John, for example, raised over $600,000 for AIDS by selling some of the 15,000 suits, shoes, hats and other items from his closet. When fleeing the Philippines, former first lady Imelda Marcos left behind 200 girdles, 1,000 handbags, 2,000 ball gowns and 1,500 pairs of shoes. Mary Todd Lincoln, wife to the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, was known to have bought 300 pairs of gloves at one time. â&#x20AC;˘
