The West’s next economy

I

attended a “Planning in the West” conference a couple of weeks ago organized

by New West by: JIMA Network (NewRice, Ph.D. West.Net), an award-winning online media company that reports on the economy, politics, and culture of the Rocky Mountain West.

Speaker topics included: livable communities, meeting energy needs in a changing climate, local food as economic recovery, and greening our transportation infrastructure.

The speakers were excellent and all had comments that enlighten our economic situation in the Wood River Valley. Here are some key points from just two of the speakers.

Mark Muro, from the Brookings Institute, addressed “Designing a Sustainable Future in the New West.” While he spoke about Boise, his conclusions are drawn from Brookings’ Intermountain West research and include: 1. The region’s economic model is facing “a time of reckoning.” Idaho has been a fastgrowing state, but the region’s growth has “slowed precipitously,” adding the smallest number of residents in two decades.

2. “Swollen” construction and real estate

The fundraiser will benefit the

Council Circle Foundation afterschool program, which assists youngsters in attaining self-esteem, good decision-making and problem-solving skills, and more.

A few Garth tickets left

O

kay, so the lawn tickets for this summer’s Garth Brooks concert didn’t go quite as fast as an eight-second ride on a bucking bull.

But they went fast enough Saturday, as the Sun Valley Summer Symphony sold out some 4,000 lawn tickets in 29 minutes.

It was an exciting morning at the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, said Executive Director Jennifer Teisinger, with call volumes peaking at 1,409 simultaneous calls at 10:29 a.m.—29 minutes after tickets went on

sale. About 78 percent of the tickets sold online.

A limited number of tickets inside the Sun Valley Pavilion are still available for the concert, which will start at 6:30 p.m.

Aug. 1. Those tickets cost $500, with $400 of the purchase serving as a tax-deductible contribution to the symphony to allow it to offer two weeks’ worth of free concerts. Pavilion seat holders will enjoy a cocktail reception prior to the performance at the Sun Valley Lodge Terrace.

hef Taite Pearson will be hosting the All-Idaho Sustainable Foods Dinner at Sego Restaurant in Ketchum next week. The dinner will take place Wednesday, June 23 at 6:30 p.m. and will also feature wines from Idaho’s Cider Winery.

A passionate, visionary, and talented chef, Taite Pearson is a welcome addition to our Valley.

Having recently moved to Sun Valley in November, Pearson says that he has greatly enjoyed the diversity of outdoor life so far. Pearson has been cooking for 17 years, and he has worked as an executive chef in many highly-acclaimed restaurants including Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago, and Wolfgang Puck’s Spago in Las Vegas. Pearson’s self-described passion is “true food,” a combination of fresh ingredients with quality technique.

The All-Idaho dinner will feature a total of five courses.

Each course will center on a specific food purveyor; Pearson enthusiastically described how he will highlight each purveyor’s specific specialty in each dish.

“Minus the salt, pepper and olive oil, everything will be from Idaho,” he confirms. Working solely from local foods has proven to be somewhat of a challenge for Pearson, because the growing seasons in Idaho are so exaggerated. Nevertheless, Pearson says he has had such positive experiences working with each

individual farmer, that he has never felt limited by only being able to work with local ingredients. In the Valley, Pearson notes that there is not yet a huge push to use local foods, and he hopes that this dinner will inspire change in local restaurants. Pearson is optimistic that people will come away from the dinner with a better realization of Idaho’s diverse bounty. “You can build a whole menu that is both fun and creative and not have to rely on food coming from far away,” Pearson points out.

Even though the dinner features foods specifically from Idaho, Pearson assures me that he is really not doing anything different or reinventing what he already does day to day. “This is how I operate as a chef,” he explains. “At Sego, we use 60 percent local ingredients, and we always try to use as much local food as possible.” Additional foods from Sego come from local farms all over the Pacific Northwest. Aside from his dedication to local ingredients, Pearson has also been praised for his ability to utilize every part of the foods he cooks with. From making a delectable soup of pea-leaves to using sturgeon fish bones for soup stock, Pearson makes sure nothing goes to waste.

The Sustainable Foods Dinner will also feature wines from Idaho’s Cider Winery, owned by husband and wife team Melanie Kraus and Joe Schnerr. Cinder wines have won numerous awards, and their grapes are

sourced from multiple vineyards in the Snake River Valley. Pearson has worked with wine specialists from J.W. Thornton Wine Imports in order to specifically pair the wines with each course.

Lively and animated, Pearson’s zeal for cooking and commitment to local farms is evident in his excitement about his upcoming project. “The dinner will hopefully open people’s eyes,” Pearson says. “Guests should be looking for local foods when they go out to eat. The more we can support local farmers, the better.”

briefs Salmon Stomp

While record hatchery returns of both salmon and steelhead have provided us with some epic fishing lately, we can’t forget that all of Idaho’s wild anadromous fish—sockeye, chinook and steelhead—are endangered and teetering on the brink of extinction.

Please join Idaho Steelhead and Salmon Unlimited on Saturday, June 19th at the Sweetwater Clubhouse to raise money and awareness for our iconic wild fish. The party starts at 5:00 p.m. Dinner and music start at 6:30 p.m., with The Kim Stocking Band tearing it up until 10:00! Twenty dollars at the door will get you “all-youcan-eat burgers and brats” served up by World-renowned grill master, Brent Anderson. The menu also includes homemade baked beans, potato salad, corn on the cob and chips; sodas and water are free and provided

by Pepsi Bottling Ventures of Hailey.

Buy a $15 etched “bottomless” beer stein or enjoy a cocktail at the nohost bar provided by the Silver Dollar Saloon. The Valley’s retailers have once again pulled out all the stops on the donations and we’ll have fantastic raffle and silent auction items including items from loyal supporters Sturtevants, Lost River Outfitters, Zou 75, The Guide Shop, Shepp Ranch, The BrickHouse Bar & Grill, East Cape RV, Splash & Dash, Guffy’s, Rocky Mountain Hardware and Sun Valley Bronze.

Come celebrate “until the salmon come home”!

To Your Health ~ good advice from local practitioners ~

Should I ditch the bottle?

Purchases of bottled water are decreasing… or at least not increasing at such a brisk rate. In a recent Harris poll, 29 percent said they’ve gone back to tap water. So, what’s holding up the remaining 71 percent? Some might say “purity,” some “convenience,” some “taste,” and some “I enjoy paying a huge premium to drink water in a bottle!”

Here’s what those who turned back to the tap would say: Tap water often rates better in taste tests and scores higher in purity than the bottled stuff. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency requires higher standards for tap water than the Federal Food and Drug Administration does for bottled water.

If the water from your faucet tastes bad to you—and certainly taste varies by location—try a

water filter like PUR or Brita.

Inline and pitcher-type filters abound. Often just storing tap water in the refrigerator will improve the taste.

The convenience excuse is hard to swallow, given the plethora of reusable water bottles available. The reason to shoulder this small burden of hauling around your own water bottle is, in a word, oil. Millions of barrels every year are burned to bottle and transport the water, and then disposing of the empties costs even more (only about 10 percent are recycled).

When your resolve weakens, remind yourself that bottled water costs ten thousand times more than tap. A treehugger said it best: “May the faucet be with you!” twp

briefs Miles of Smiles Bike Program gives 47 The BCRD’s Miles of Smiles Bike Program gave away 47 new Specialized bicycles to pre-qualified kids in need at its third annual giveaway on Sunday at the BCRD SportScape.

With the belief that every child deserves a bike, donors Brian Ross and Susan Reinstein, and Specialized bikes, donated the bicycles, and the Wood River Bike Coalition, including many cycling enthusiasts, helped put them together, along with coordinating efforts from The Elephant’s Perch.

The children were referred from the Blaine County School District, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Blaine County Probation and La Alianza. The recipients also received new helmets.

Volunteers from Mud Honey Cycling and the Wood River Bike Coali-

tion also gave the children tips on bike safety.

Contact Kris Stoffer at 788-2117 for more information about the Miles of Smiles bike program and how to make a contribution.

“Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the sons of the Earth. If they spit upon the Earth, they spit upon themselves. This we know: all things are connected.

Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it.

Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” (Speech attributed to Chief Seattle, 1854) Now an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico connects us all. By our addiction to oil we have all played a part in the explosion and collapse of BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig. And we are also all hurt by it All things are connected.

Connections to the disaster run deep. The universality of water links us all. Currents from the Gulf of Mexico round the tip of Florida, move up our Eastern coast before drifting toward Europe and beyond.

The universality of air also unites us. Migratory birds—like herons and hummingbirds—that pass northward through Idaho, mate and nest in the marshlands of the Gulf. With wings impaired by oil droplets, they may not complete the flight.

As an acupuncturist, my job is to see a person’s overall “landscape” as well as the individual parts. In the Chinese medicine view, heart chambers are seen as the oceans, exchanging circulation with the rest of the system.

They pump the blood, comprised of 80 percent water, that unites us all. The water element represents the deep unconscious, our DNA, our links with past and future generations.

To support a client with a heart chamber disorder, I may select acupuncture points on the palm of the hand or at the elbow crease, distant from the organ itself. For a water imbalance, I consider points on the foot or ankle with names like “Shining Sea” or “Returning Current.”

Ancient medical knowledge recognizes our tie with the sea.

All things are connected.

We collectively grieve as we watch images of oil gushing,

hemorrhaging into the Gulf, one of the Earth’s heart chambers.

Seeing tar balls washing onto the shore like blood clots, we feel powerless and search for ways to help.

Some of us may take proactive paths—assisting directly with the cleanup, creating new policies to protect the environment, developing alternative fuel sources. For the rest of us right here, right now, in the Wood River Valley, miles from the Gulfstream waters, I ask, “What can we do? How can we help now?”

From a distant time I hear the soft Texas drawl of my mother: “First, sweep your own doorstep.” And so it circles back home. Whether your wisdom comes from your mother, an ancient medical system, a Native American chief or some other truth, it always returns to source.

Tend our own strand. Look within. Examine shortcuts you take in your own health that could lead to a collapse. Find energy leaks that deplete you.

Repair them now.

Be mindful of toxins that you are ingesting. Eat more clean food, grown locally and organically. Keep returning to your own health, your own center.

Sweep your own doorstep.

How large do you think your doorstep is? Does it include just your own self? Your family?

Your community? Do whatever you can do. Clean up wasteful consumption. Expand the size of your doorstep as you go.

All things are connected. All things circle back home.

Chief Seattle’s words are true in reverse: Whatever we do to ourselves, we do to the web.

If enough of us tend our strands, the web will stay intact.

As we return to health, our deep blue ocean home will also heal.

ballard street

he cautioned. Boise has one of the largest working dairies in Idaho six blocks from City Hall.

But it provides up to 700 jobs in the city core and those workers frequent downtown restaurants and businesses.

Bieter also suggested that Hailey follow Boiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead in starting an incubator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An incubator will produce more jobs than any other investment you can make,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that the presence of the College of Southern Idaho in Hailey is a plus.

Finally, Bieter suggested that Haileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown might be Haileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic or sacred thing that prompts residents to â&#x20AC;&#x153;reach a little higher than yourselves.â&#x20AC;?

That for Boiseans is the Greenbelt, Boise Foothills and Boise River, he added.

W

ant a thriving downtown?

Consider tweaking your building codes and building permit process.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the advice Boise Mayor Dave Bieter gave to about a hundred people attending the State of Downtown Hailey meeting Friday night at The Liberty Theatre.

Bieter said that a simple change to Boiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building code had made a big difference for his cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talk to contractors and developers about what impediments there are. It may be height. It may be something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not aware of,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Hailey is known as a place where good things happen, where things get done, you will have a competitive advantage not just in the Valley, but in the West. Tell people: You meet our standards and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you a permit in so many days, maybe even over the counter, if possible.â&#x20AC;?

Bieterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments came as the city unveiled a new draft Hailey Downtown Plan Friday evening.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wish list that includes a town plaza, way-finding signs pointing out-of-towners to destinations and businesses and a revamped Main Street that would include a curving street and wider sidewalks to slow traffic and allow for al fresco dining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a regulatory documentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just setting forth ideas,â&#x20AC;? said City Planner Beth Robrahn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we want to do is improve on what we have. And by having a downtown plan in place, the city will be in a better position to compete for grants to assist with economic development.â&#x20AC;?

Bieter said that downtown needs to be the economic engine for the city. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exclude things that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to fit,

key to the city

The husband-wife team of Rob Lonning and Elizabeth Jeffrey were rewarded for their efforts to make Hailey a better place during the State of the Downtown meeting.

Mayor Rick Davis presented the two with the first ever Key to the City that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presented during his administration.

Davis praised Lonningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical preservation work making the Martin Mallory historic photograph collection available online. And he commended Jeffrey for her environmental work on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf, including the recent push on Earth Day to get businesses to refrain from handing out plastic bags.

Last Friday this little bee by the name of Romy Raziano buzzed into Copy & Print in Hailey with her mom, Trish, while they were out doing some errands. Since Romy was wearing an outfit that matched Buzzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, theweeklypaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mascot, we gave her a bee of our own to take with her. More of these bees are available for checkout, so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going somewhere for the summer and want to check out Buzz to take on your trip and send some pictures in, please contact Leslie Thompson at 928-7186 to find out how!

Chapter 17

I

slept a bit uneasy after setting off the car alarm, right when the time seemed perfect for Amy and me to share our first sweet kiss by the romantic sage grouse lek setting.

The next morning we awoke to a warm sun at the Trapezoid Lake campsite and when I glanced over at Amy, for a fleeting moment I saw a million stars still reflecting in her twinkling eyes. Then, as we watched the remaining grouse fly off in pairs to a northern place of wisdom, one of the students remarked it didn’t look as if they soared very high and wondered how the new adjacent airport would affect this magnificent bird migration.

Our own decampment would be a short one, too, and, after dousing the smoldering fire, Amy helped me hitch our camp gear up to the silver pantechnicon.

Then we navigated, along with the children in the school bus, up the isolated desert road, over to nearby Chalk Cave.

We pulled through an ancient wooden arch to a clearing in the tall sage and came to a loud popping halt. A sharp obsidian spear point sticking out of the gravel had punctured one of the dually van’s rear tires (but at least it was at the same spot where we wanted to park). We would deal with the flat later; for now, we were at today’s destination. And although we were within 50 feet of the cave, it took several minutes before any of the students noticed the jagged mouth opening. Behind the schoolchildren, I squeezed Amy’s hand tight as we clambered down past a juvenile owl pecking at a pile of brown rattlesnake eggs in the hot rocks. After cautiously passing the guardians, we felt a cool breeze emerging from the tiny lava-stone entrance. This desert quietude held a dissimilar vibe than the Wood River Valley and, as we listened closely, it sounded uncannily as if the cave mouth was whispering a message for greater mankind. It was almost celestial

noon and though our shadows were small, the barely detectable voice singing from somewhere in the cave depths had everyone’s hair on edge.

Two of our tech students set up an elaborate portable antenna they had invented, and spiked it into the rough terrain above the cave. This new-fangled device would enable us better communication throughout the cavern and not only that, but it also had a recording mechanism attached. Then, the same young braves volunteered to spelunk headfirst into the darkness.

Meanwhile, since Amy had been observing our schoolchildren through rosy Holden Caulfield filtered glasses lately, I wondered how she would react when she discovered that Lana and I had previously stashed, a mile within the lava tube, a rare copy of Salinger’s Ocean Full of Bowling Balls. Although this great unpublished work is not supposed to be released until fifty years after Salinger’s death, the preceding year I had visited Princeton’s tightly-controlled Firestone Library, where the only public copy available is kept, and then, through several fortnights of burning the midnight ethanol, I rigorously committed the fine work to memory before meticulously hand-scribing a second copy.

This uncommon duplicate now rests in a wooden box eight furlongs deep within the climatepreserving walls of Chalk Cave.

And, as an added bonus within this good medicine box, are a series of parchments—several official maps that indicated some unclaimed land, somehow overlooked all these years by various government agencies.

Moreover, this unspoken-for tract of free land lay smack-dab between Chalk Cave and the proposed airport taxiway’s south twp perimeter!

About the author: After mostly conquering his claustrophobia, Jim Banholzer has shyly done spelunking in several Virginia and Idaho caves.

Only once has a Guardian rattler struck at him, but its wicked bite merely pierced the jeans and not the flesh. Someday he would be curious to peep through the wormhole of a mysterious ancient desert arch.

We’re here for you!

Lynda Smith fundraiser next Friday

We all have a friend or relative who has battled cancer. One of our own is now experiencing cancer first hand. Valley Maintenance & Restoration, Inc. employee Curtis Galvez and Lynda Smith, both longtime Wood River Valley residents, are in need of our help.

On April 12, Lynda had a tumor at the base of her brain rupture. She has since been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a very aggressive form of skin cancer that has gone into the body. Considering what she has gone through, she shines with optimism. However, her fight has only just begun.

Valley Maintenance is now reaching out to our community for help. We will hold a raffle/silent auction at our 2nd Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ on Friday, June 25th. All proceeds will go to Curtis & Lynda.

How can you help?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work with those who like to talk things through, weigh the consequences and speculate about the end result of every decision. In contrast, you just do what feels right. It will benefit you to listen to the logic others present -- itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good education. However, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still do what feels right, regardless of the rest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This week loosens up your working process.

Stream of consciousness writing, speaking or drawing will get you into a very creative mode. What comes to you will be brilliant -- but maybe not the first thing, or the first three things for that matter. As you muddle on though, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll connect with true inspiration.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Staying on task wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always ensure that a job will get done. And actually, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to discover that some things just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth doing in the first place.

This week brings many a lengthy, loopy detour both in your actions and in your conversations. Rambling on can be beautiful. Getting to the point is overrated.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone is learning from you and may even borrow a few of your mannerisms, matters of speech and opinions, to boot.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough work to cultivate your own tastes and attitudes. And now you feel slightly responsible for someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, too. Well, at least youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re contributing to the refinement of the planet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Contrary to the edict of the television commercials, a bubble bath isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to solve your problems. In fact, pampering and lollygagging will only delay the resolution. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go soft on the situation now. Whatever the mess may be, you are more likely to walk it out or talk it out than you are to wash it out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

miss you,â&#x20AC;? what they really mean is that they miss having your business or, more specifically, your money. This week youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find out that you are genuinely missed for your energy, attitude, friendliness and contribution to the lives of others. And because of this, you may return for a visit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work on increasing your confidence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy enough for others to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;believe in yourself,â&#x20AC;? but how is this actually accomplished? And how do you know when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done? Take every step you can to be self-sufficient physically and emotionally. When you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel you need another person for your survival, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your pace will quicken this week as you realize the opportunity ahead of you is a sliding door that only stays open long enough for one or two people to walk through. Grab a partner and head on in. The news you get Thursday will inspire travel. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be elated by visits with those you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in a while.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deciding what to do next, the brainstorming stage is an important one. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skip it. Otherwise, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up doing what you have always done, and that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lead you to new places. A blank sheet of paper may be your best friend this week and will certainly be the gateway to an adventure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A number of interesting characters will pass through your week, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hone your social skills as you go from one communication to the next. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feeling that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re headed somewhere, that all the relationships are culminating into something important, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too soon to say what.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have stellar ideas, and you follow through.

But sometimes you get so driven toward a goal that you lose the habits that keep you feeling strong and healthy. Stable patterns are deeply important to keeping you on track.

Make a list of all that needs to be done on a daily basis to maintain the optimum you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Work that encourages you to exercise your verbal talents will be favored. You have the gift of gab, persuasion and public speaking. You may not feel that you have anything special to tell the world, but that is not entirely true. While your message is not exactly news, coming from you it has a whole new meaning.

THIS WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BIRTHDAYS: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so attractive and fun that you may just get more attention than you know what to do with this year. This month boosts you toward financial and professional goals. Follow through with the leads youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be given and the promises that you make to others. After you prove yourself trustworthy, a new door opens. Singles explore exciting and romantic new friendships through September. Families find improved ways of communicating. twp

or this week and likely the next couple we could effectively refer to this as the Silver Creek report as there’s not a lot more to talk about currently. The Big Wood had begun to drop and clear a bit, but with the warmer temperatures and snow melt up high, it’s on the rise again and my guess would be the second or third week of July before it really come into shape. The same will hold true for most of our other freestone streams. Local tailwater streams, the S.F. of the Boise and Big Lost, are very high as-well with water being released through the dams. This is actually very good news as back in March the water situation locally was looking pretty bleak.

I am pleased to report that we do have some good early season fishing on Silver Creek. The daytime activity with pmd and baetis has been very good at times and with the relatively nicer weather, we will see more consistent hatches. Be prepared with a variety of these patterns in both dry and nymph. There’s been a fair number of craneflies around and these, as-well-as, beetles can elicit some explosive strikes. As of Sunday evening the elusive brown drake had yet to show in any numbers but is imminent. By the time this report prints this hatch will likely be underway, and my guess would be that it will be peaking by the weekend. Regardless of the fishing, the environment of this spring creek is always a special place to spend some time.

If you’re looking to get the kids out fishing and have some family fun, both Penny Lake and Lake Creek Lake (lower) have been stocked with a good number of catchable size trout These two ponds are close to town and are user friendly places to fish with the children. Please stop by Sturtevants in Ketchum or Hailey for more details and enjoy your fishing.

10 â&#x20AC;˘ theweeklypaper ahead........................from pg 1 sectors drove â&#x20AC;&#x153;super-charged growthâ&#x20AC;? until the recession. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;nextâ&#x20AC;? economy will depend on exports of products and services, clean technology, and entrepreneurialism.

3. Idaho has made some progress toward the next economy, but lags neighboring states on investment in general education, science/engineering programs, and entrepreneur support initiatives. State policy and statutes also prevent local control of key economic issues.

4. For the region to advance quickly, it must â&#x20AC;&#x153;work with new concentration and focus to diversify its economy and strengthen its innovation clusters.â&#x20AC;? Boiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;governance fragmentation and weak coordinationâ&#x20AC;? undermine work on effective growth planning even though having a regional growth plan in place â&#x20AC;&#x153;is the real game-changer.â&#x20AC;?

Another compelling speaker, Ken Meter, from Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crossroads Resource Center, discussed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local Food as Economic Recovery,â&#x20AC;? reporting on research covering Southwest Idaho to Northeast Oregon. His salient points include: 1. Idaho is one of the top 10 states for food production, raising 26 different crops and livestock. Most of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production goes out of state, however, while virtually all that we eat (98 percent) is brought in to the state. That means that virtually all of the $1.87 billion spent by the Treasure Valley on food each year is spent outside the Valley.

2. A small farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earnings today are the same as they were in the Great Depression. Thus, a large proportion of Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmbased population does not have

enough food to eat and suffers obesity, burdening our social support network and medical system.

3. Overall, â&#x20AC;&#x153;our current food system takes wealth out of our communities and puts it into the financial system.â&#x20AC;? It treats foods as non-value added commodities, purchased anywhere and made by anyone, rather than leveraging them as a source of community health, wealth, connection, innovation, and capacity.

4. The Slow Food movement, founded by investor and philanthropist Woody Tasch, promotes investment in local food systems with their huge economic return to local communities. It is a model of good business and community practices across the country. Idaho has one chapter in Jackson.

Regional planning and local food are â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the tableâ&#x20AC;? in Blaine County. Fragmentation among leadership groups is currently getting in the way of effective regional economic action, however.

We can hope it will sort itself out soon. Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bounty leads our growing local food movement and is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;starâ&#x20AC;? in its programs and potential, receiving calls from around the country on how it operates. We have pieces in place, including a transportation infrastructure far ahead of other rural communities. The good news is that, in many aspects of our daily life, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aiming in the right direction. Now, we need twp momentum.

a recipeâ&#x20AC;Śfrom my table to yours TWP: Why did you choose this recipe?

MF: I chose this recipe because I love warm, delicious, healthy bread, especially when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool outside. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also been trying to eliminate wheat from my diet so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on the hunt for good wheatfree recipes. Then I tweaked it enough to make it reliable at high altitude. It took a few tries but now I can get a consistent product every time!

TWP: How did you get interested in cooking?

MF: My mom is an excellent baker and we grew up learning how to bake everything imaginable. It was definitely a learning curve when I started to bake without gluten but the early training helped make it easier. Thanks, Mom! TWP: How long have you lived in the Wood River Valley?

MF: My husband and I moved from Boise and have lived in Ketchum for 2 1/2 years now. We love it! We are so happy to be able to do most of our favorite activities right from our front door like hiking, biking, skiing and skate skiing. We also like to be surrounded with so many people who care about the same things we do. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a great place to live.

Stephenson stays active I

f it had been up to Fern Stephenson, she might never have made her home in the Wood by: Karen River ValBossick ley—not with the temperature dipping to 34 degrees the night she attended the Fourth of July rodeo.

But her husband Frank was smitten by the hunting and fishing opportunities the Sun Valley area offered during the family’s vacation trip through the area. And so, in 1966, the Stephensons said goodbye to the triple-digit heat of Phoenix and headed north to Hailey.

“I couldn’t understand how people could live in the snow with their hands getting cold and all,” said Fern, who was inducted on Sunday into the Blaine County Heritage Court.

“But Frank said: ‘You can always put on more clothes to keep warm, but you can’t do much to keep cool.’

“And I don’t think there’s any place nicer than Sun Valley in the summertime.”

Frank, a carpenter by trade, put his shoulder to the plow upon his arrival in the Wood River Valley, raising hay and cattle on a hundred acres that he purchased on Baseline Road south of Bellevue.

Hailey was a town of 1,400 people then and Bellevue a town of 500, said Fern.

“Sun Valley wasn’t nearly as busy then. There were not that many tourists,” she added. “And you learned quickly you didn’t talk about anyone because they could be somebody’s sister, brother-in-law, aunt or grandparent.”

Fern helped with the farm work, although she wasn’t keen about getting her feet knocked out from under her by an ornery sheep. But she spent much of her time ferrying her daughters— now Karen Morrison and Susan Nutrell—between volleyball and 4-H activities.

“We had a loving home with lots of horses and other animals, motorcycles and snow machines,” said Karen Morrison. “And Mother made excellent peach pies with good old flaky crusts.”

Stephenson taught Sunday School and helped with the Missionettes, a church version of the Girl Scouts. She also served as president of Aglow International, a Christian women’s group that met at the long-gone Hiawatha Hotel in Hailey, and volunteered with the Blaine County Senior Center, eventually serving on the board for five years.

In 1983 she joined an army of housekeepers to keep things tidy for Allen and Company, a then-new conference started by investment banker Herbert Allen to bring movers and shakers like Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey together in Sun Valley.

“Mr. Allen was always real nice,” she said.

Stephenson’s community activities took a back seat a few years ago when her husband Frank became ill. But she has been able to resume some of her rounds since a spot for Frank became available at Blaine Manor.

She’s jazzed about the new

soda fountain at the Senior Connection.

“Frank used to play pool there for years—they even had a tournament with other senior centers in Jerome one year. I really like the exercise class there, too,” she said.

Ted Angle, a member of the Masonic Lodge that nominated Stephenson to the Heritage Court, said Fern has always been available to anyone needing a hand.

“You can always depend on Mom to help out,” echoed Morrison. “She may not have had a lot of titles, but she’s always been good at volunteering. It’s those people who make a community.”

Editor’s note: Fern Stephenson was crowned as part of the 2010 Blaine County Heritage Court on Sunday, along with Sally Donart, Phyllis Stelma and Jean Pyrah.

The court, organized by the Blaine County Historical Museum, is sponsored by the Hailey Rotary Club, Anderson Asphalt, D.L. Evans Bank, Power Engineers, Mike and Irene Healy, Mark’s Automotive, Merlene Farnworth, Jennifer Wilson and twp Bob and April MacLeod.

R

uss Lamb characterizes himself as an artist, entrepreneur and sportsman.

Russ is a noted wildlife artist and sporting guide who creates elegant and mystically spirited sculptures out of metal, bronze and found materials. Unbridled imagination, unusual sculpting technique and distinctive patinas distinguish his sculptures with a spirit uniquely his own. These exceptional steel and bronze sculptures are unlike any before seen by the art world.

Russ has participated in the Ketchum Arts Festival since its inception and regards it as one of the best opportunities for local artists and artisans to get together to meet, share and present to each other and the community the products of their hard-earned efforts.

Russ Lamb has been involved with the Sun Valley/Ketchum community since the early 1970s as a skier, designer of skiwear

and fishing waders, and as an avid sportsman. Russ and Sidne, his wife, left the area for a number of years during which they built and sold a business dedicated to artful rustic furniture. They returned ten years ago for Russ to focus on his art and for them to live in the community that had provided them with so much enjoyment and inspiration.

briefs Blaine County BBBS in need of mentors The Blaine County office of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Southwest Idaho is recruiting volunteers to serve as mentors to children in our community. BBBS serves children between the ages of 6-15 who are in need of a positive influence in their lives. Big Brothers Big Sisters offers community and site-based programs, as well as school mentoring. Volunteers do not need special skills or experience to mentor a child. Friendship is what counts, and anyone can be a friend! People of all ages, backgrounds and career types are encouraged to become volunteers.

“We have great kids in our program

arie Stewart’s artwork has become a moving target.

You won’t find it on a gallery wall or in a private home. Picture it, instead, on the back of a bus. by: Karen Stewart, who lives Bossick south of Bellevue, won a competition to decorate the back of the Mountain Rides Valley Bus with her colorful sunflowers set in a field of blue and green aboriginal-like dots.

The artwork was applied by SAP (Signs Applied Professionally), an eight-year-old business owned

by Jason and Stephanie Sappenfield, who live in the Sun Valley area when they’re not checking on the factory in Bellingham, Wash.

SAP installs “really large stickers onto really large objects” from skyscrapers to automobiles to stadiums to airplanes.

Their most monumental task: wrapping a building in Omaha, Neb., with a 245-foot-tall, 60-footwide banner for the U.S. Olympic swimming trials prior to the Beijing Olympics. The banner was the tallest one in the United States, said Sappenfield.

Sappenfield, whose family has run a sign and T-shirt company since he was 12, said he and his wife sponsored an art contest for the bus wrap in hopes that they can pair some of the artists with their clients, in part to give the artists more work.

Stewart won $150 in cash and $150 worth of goodies at Pete Prekeges’ Grumpy’s for her firstplace win. Hailey artist Melissa Graves-Brown won $75 in cash and $75 worth of Grumpy’s, and her husband Christopher Brown won $25 and $25 from Grumpy’s.

More than two dozen artists applied.

“We had two criteria—that the art feature warm spring and summer colors and that it be something you can see in the Wood River Valley,” said Sappenfield. “We had a lot of fun and we plan to hold a contest next fall to pick out some new artwork for winter.”

The new artwork just started rolling.

“I haven’t seen it yet, although I keep looking for it,” said Stewart. “I think it’s awesome this idea of business helping artists out. It’s a really great idea in times when we’re all trying to make it.”

Stewart, who owns a degree in clothing management and design from her native country’s Auck-

that are looking for a friend to spend time with them,” stated Bronwyn Patterson, program coordinator for the Blaine County office of BBBS. “Bigs and Littles do everything from baking cookies to rock climbing together—and they have a great time! Being involved in our program is a positive experience for both volunteers and kids.”

Get involved. Make a difference.

Be a part of something BIG! For information on volunteering, or to enroll a child, please contact Bronwyn Patterson, Blaine County Program Coordinator, at 578-5405 or bronwyn.patterson@bbbs.org Inquire online at www. bbbsidaho.org

land Technical institute, started out hand-painting and batiking Art to Wear T-Shirts, pillows and canvas wall paintings in the vein of American abstract expressionist Jackson “Jack the Dripper” Pollock.

Eventually, she added an aborigine slant to some of her work, painting Kokopelli-like Melonhead characters that ski and play the drums with paint she applies from a squirt bottle.

Her signature is her dot paintings, which she traces back to aborigines who painted dots with pointed sticks they dipped in dyes made from native plants.

“Dot painting is a rhythmic movement, like using a sewing machine needle,” says Stewart, who does her dot paintings on her hands and knees. “It takes a long time to complete a painting. But, for me, it’s a form of meditation, a way of tapping into the universal.” twp

Marie Stewart will show children how to fashion prayer flags out of recyclable plastic bags at the Hailey Farmer’s Market Thursday afternoon just north of Sturtevants.

She will show her painted art wear and acrylic paintings at the Farmer’s Market Artist Market on June 24.

Seal coat project scheduled for BCRD W.R. trail Seal Coat Project Scheduled for BCRD Wood River Trail The Blaine County Recreation District has scheduled a section of the Wood River Trail for seal coat maintenance beginning Monday, June 21 through Friday, June 25. Pavement Specialties of Idaho will do the work.

The project begins on Monday, June 21 at Mile 0 at the north end of the path at Hulen Meadows (West Sage Road) to the north side of the Pegram bridge at approximately mile 5.2, including the following aprons: At Saddle Road intersection At 4th Street intersection From Serenade Lane to where the path in-

tersects from the north and south.

Although this section of trail will be closed during the seal coating process, a signed detour will be available. However, it may not be suitable for road bikes, rollerblades, bike trailers or for nighttime travel.

During the application and drying process it is important that trail users stay off the new surface for 48 hours. Wet seal coating material will ruin shoes, clothes, bikes, rollerblades and the trail surface!

For more information, please contact the Blaine County Recreation District at 578-BCRD (2273).

Last year the shelter distributed almost 4,000 pounds of pet food through The Hunger Coalition. The demand for pet food has doubled this year, she said.

Donations of funds for the shelter to purchase pet food may be made to the shelter, P. O. Box 1496, Hailey ID 83333 or through the Web site, www.animshelterwrv.org. Unopened and unexpired bags of dog or cat food also are accepted at the shelter.

Additional information on the benefit and other activities is available by calling 208-7884351 on the Internet at www.animalshelterwrv.org.

Higher Ground, Sun Valley Adaptive Sportsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; veteran rehabilitation program, has put in an offer to purchase The Knob Hill Inn. The 29-room hotel will become a retreat and rehabilitation center for wounded veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, making it the largest non-medical rehabilitation center in the country.

Since WWII, the Wood River Valley has had a proud history of serving wounded veterans, as the Sun Valley Lodge briefly operated as a Naval convalescent hospital.

Carrying on this legacy of service since 2005, Higher Groundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long term goal has been to open a rehabilitation center in Sun Valley.

n the early 1970s a newly elected Hailey City councilman made it his mission to clean up 4.3 acres near the Wood River to be used as a city park. A decade later that park--Haileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest--was named for him.

On Sunday Wood River Valley residents will be invited to celebrate the life of Hop Porter as the former Hailey city councilman is laid to rest. Porter, who died on his birthday on Nov. 29, 2009, will be laid to rest in a family plot at the Hailey Cemetery at 1 p.m. A picnic barbecue will follow at 2 p.m. at Hop Porter Park on Bullion Street.

Claude Porter, as he was named at birth, was born Nov. 29, 1932--the fifth of 11 kids in a family near Picabo. He was nicknamed Hop by one of his brothers at age 4 after he jumped off a woodpile, puncturing both feet with nails.

After graduating from Hailey High School, Hop Porter joined the U.S. Army. He and his wife Marilyn were living in the Panama Canal Zone when their first son Blaine was born in February 1956. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They named me after the county. I guess I had two homesick parents at the time,â&#x20AC;? said Blaine Porter, who was eventually joined by three siblingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Camille, Christopher and Kirby, all of Boise.

After a stint with the Army, Porter came back to the valley, helping Bud Purdy out with his wholesale fuel business. Eventually, Porter acquired his

own wholesale distributorship, working with Conoco.

When Porter became city councilman he decided to take on the old Hailey City Park, which son Blaine remembered as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mess of concrete and river bottom that you could hardly walk through.â&#x20AC;?

Porter called in favors from contractor friends who cut timber and built flood panels and enlisted the help of his children and other volunteers in planting pine trees. The construction caught the eye of two elderly widows who wrote out a check to cover the expenses.

Today the park on Bullion Street, which serves as the venue for the Northern Rockies Folk Festival each August, boasts a handsome wooden playground and a covered group pavilion.

It was renamed Hop Porter Park in the 1980sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;about the same time that the city named Heagle Park after former mayor Lawrence Heagle and Roberta McKercher Park after a Wood River Journal reporter.

In 1983 Porter sold a large portion of his oil business and he and Marilyn moved to Boise where he eventually retired with Emery Air Freight. After Marilyn died in 2006, Hop returned to Hailey to live with son Blaine and his wife Shelley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was experiencing dementia by then. But he still enjoyed being back up here and visiting with the some of his old friends,â&#x20AC;? said Blaine Porter, a contractor. twp

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, My husband and I just moved from Connecticut to a rural town in Pennsylvania. After unloading the moving truck, we realized we didn't need half the stuff we brought with us.

Fortunately, I love having a garage sale. My new neighbor, though, told me that this small town requires a garage sale permit. I thought she was crazy.

Who would need a permit to set up a few tables and hang a sign on the lawn? But she was right. I found out that there are all sorts of restrictions in our area. Why would any town put so many guidelines on something as simple as a garage sale?

Carry: Like most towns across

America, each establishes it's own local ordinances to meet the needs of the community. Some of them make sense, such as alternate side of the street parking or getting a permit to burn leaves. However, others boggle your mind.

Cash: Some towns have laws on the books that were established so long ago that they seem ridiculous nowadays. For instance, in Carmel, California you can't eat ice cream on the sidewalk. And in

Fast Facts Left Hanging Around

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 06/13/10 ©2010 The Classified Guys®

New York there is a law that says you can't keep an ice cream cone in your pocket on Sundays.

Saturdays, however, are okay.

Carry: In your case, there may be legitimate purposes to the garage sale regulations. And your town is not the only one to have them.

Cash: Many cities or towns require a permit to prevent people from turning garage sales into a permanent retail business. The town may restrict the sale to a specific length of time, like three to five days, or only permit one sale every six months.

Carry: Of course, if you collect enough stuff to need a garage sale more than every six months, get-

ting a permit should not be your biggest concern.

Cash: Another popular restriction you may encounter is with regards to posting signs. There may be a rule that simply requires you to remove all the signs you posted within a specific amount of time. More structured guidelines may define the actual size of the sign or where it's placed.

Carry: Some laws go as far as stating, "Can not be placed on telephone poles" or "Must be 10 feet from the road."

Cash: If you've ever driven behind a car swerving with the driver's head out the window to read those garage sale signs, the laws can begin to make sense.

No one likes a litterbug. But that's what people are when they forget to take down their garage sale signs. So as you pack up after your sale, remember this simple courtesy: Take down all the garage sale signs you posted around town. If you have trouble remembering where they are, make a note of each location when you hang them up. That way when your sale is over, it will be easy to quickly drive around and find them all. Your neighbors will appreciate your efforts.

Window Shopping

Have you ever noticed that cars slow down near your garage sale, but don't stop? How your sale looks from the road may determine the amount of customers you get. But if you want those drive-by customers to stop, place your larger items like furniture out front and viewable from the road. To encourage male drivers to stop, put some "guy toys" out front like tractors, boats or motorcycles. The larger your sale looks, the more people will want to shop.

Reader Humor Measuring Up

When my friend first moved from Germany to the states, she had trouble learning the language and the customs. It was years before she began to understand everything.

One day she wanted to clean out her garage, so I suggested that she hold a yard sale and explained how it worked. She was very excited and started getting ready right away.

When I showed up the next day she explained to me in her accent, "Being from Germany, I thought I should do the yard sale in metric."

I was quite confused from her comment until she held up a sign for the driveway that read, 'Meter Sale'.

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 ‘no-mow zone’, 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?

Unless we saw beauty in men/ women, something beyond mere utility, our ideas of beauty were probably born with the cultivation of flowers and the arrival of gardens around 3500 B.C. So, if plants can evolve to attract/repel pests and pollinators, and then along the way we become part of that mix, plants can, have and will adapt to use us for their own reproductive purposes. In this sense, our gardens are artificial and not natural, no matter how organic and clean we make them. Imagine!

One Wild Peony

Photo & Story By KAREN BOSSICK

B

rown’s Peony, or Paeonia brownii, is a close cousin to the garden variety.

This showy globe-shaped flower was seen along the Cow Creek Trail in Greenhorn Gulch during last Thursday’s Sawtooth Botanical Garden wildflower walk. But it wasn’t readily apparent as the heavy-reddish-brown-to-maroon-colored blossoms bent the stems over.

Believe it or not, this flower is closely related to the buttercup family.

It’s quite a sight to see, what with its multiple layers. Oval sepals form a petticoat around a ring of petals. Golden yellow stamens encircle a large olive-green ovary.

The only peony native to North America, this perennial herb gets its name from the Greek for Paeon, who treated the gods with it, according to legend.

Boise botanist Ray Vizgirdas, author of “Useful Plants of Idaho,” says Northwestern Indians made a tea from the peony’s thick roots to treat lung ailments. A decoction of boiled roots was also taken for tuberculosis, venereal disease, coughs and nausea, while a lotion was used for headaches, a liniment for swellings, a gargle for sore throats and a wash for sore eyes.

In addition, he says, the mashed root could be used as a poultice for boils, deep cuts and wounds while pulverized dried root was used for cuts, wounds, sores and burns.

Want to know more?

The Sawtooth Botanical Garden offers Wildflower Walks each Thursday. The walks are held from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., leaving from the garden at Highway 75 and Gimlet Road. Cost is $10 for members and $15 for non-members. To register, call 726-9358. twp

Fox Creek Interiors and Sun Valley Shutters & Shades T ogether, we’ve got you covered!

We’re two home furnishings businesses that see eye to eye on everything. That’s only natural since Fox Creek Interiors and Sun Valley Shutters & Shades share the same ownership, location and staff. Eric and Susan Seder founded Fox Creek Interiors 12 years ago, primarily as a purveyor of fine interior fabrics and workroom services.

Fox Creek has changed with the market over time and through three locations.

Today, we have a large showroom that is open to the public and has constantly changing displays of our lines of wood and upholstered furniture, bedding, lamps, carpet, area rugs, art and home accessories. It also contains our unmatched collection of hundreds of fabric, carpet and wallpaper sample books.

Complementing the showroom, Fox Creek offers complete interior design, specification and workroom services. Whether

you’re just starting on a new house or remodel, or just need to add spark with new draperies, Roman shades, custom bedding or reupholstering some old furniture, our design professionals and installers are thrilled to work with you on any project and with any budget.

Five years after opening Fox Creek, Eric and Susan saw that to offer complete interior design and furnishing services, they would need to sell all of the “hard window coverings” (blinds, shades, shutters, etc.). Fortunately, Sun Valley Shutters & Shades, the largest and oldest window coverings dealer in the area, was available for sale, so they acquired it, and eventually combined it in one space with Fox Creek Interiors.

Today, Sun Valley Shutters & Shades continues to grow and thrive, having established a region-wide reputation as the “goto” guys for the largest and most difficult projects, as well the most friendly and dependable for

Bill Amaya’s robot featured in Nat’l woodworking magazine

ill Amaya and his robot are woodworking celebs.

The two are featured in Custom Woodworking Business Magazine.

The article describes how Amaya, who owns Cimarron Lofting, Inc., in Hailey, has been using the robot to assist him with his circular stairways, handrails and bridges and other wood specialty items, which are no less works of art than a Jackson Pollock piece.

Amaya said he got the router—a Warthog 3D flat bed CNC router with a program to drive it—about five years ago. It took a while to figure out how to use it as he learned about such things as spindle speed, drawing, programming, fixturing parts and selecting cutters.

As he became comfortable with using the router, he began choosing advanced programs to turn it into a five-star digital measuring device.

Now he uses it to do projects that he couldn’t have done otherwise.

For instance, he measured an already-built stairway in Seattle and used the robot to draw the addition.

The robot is so accurate it can measure to within 15 one-thousandth of an inch, he said.

“I have used the modeling program to completely revolutionize how we produce some of our handrail transition pieces, level turns and helixes,” Amaya said in the article. “The software opened up an entire line of products that we simply could not make before and helped us to stay afloat in these economically challenging times.”

Lily & Fern

ily & Fern decided six years ago they wanted to provide the Wood River Valley with a top-notch, highend, complete landscape service.

They combine plant knowledge with client personalities and the amazing Valley beauty to create gardens and lawns that are nothing short of WOW! They create gardens in perfect colors, textures, heights, continuity and flow. What is their secret? They know plants and use great soil. Lily (Pam) prefers and executes perfect formal gardens, and Fern (Annie) specializes in shade gardens—but can’t resist the sun-loving dahlias!

Garden tour, wedding, veggie garden... no matter the need, they will give you 110 percent!

Gardens in transition and needing color for that special event? Garden staging… the perfect way to add color, making

the garden spectacular.

Three years ago they incorporated a fabulous lawn service and hired “super subcontractors” adding the ability to provide a complete landscape service.

How about those great employees! Their longtime employees provide prompt, tidy service—the cornerstone to their company’s continued success.

Their shirts are simple, but their presence amazing.

Idaho spring weather sends every gardener over the top, but a delivery in a ‘pink’ dump truck expressing “Flowers make people happy” puts a smile on every face.

The goal of Lily & Fern has always been about owners who promptly return phone calls, attempting to provide every client the personalized garden and landscape of their dreams.

Idaho’s Bounty Co-op, a local online food cooperative based in Ketchum, will be hosting a Spring Farm Tour on Saturday, June 19. Idaho’s Bounty’s mission is to develop and promote a local food system for the communities of Southern Idaho that will ensure safe, consistent, fresh, and ethically cultivated products, delivered directly from local producers. The Spring Farm Tour gives residents an opportunity to get to know some of our local producers and see exactly how their food is produced.

The Spring Farm Tour will begin at Ballard Cheese in Gooding, continuing to The Ecology Patch outside Buhl, and finishing at Fish Breeders of Idaho outside Hagerman. The tour will begin in Gooding at 11 a.m. and finish by 5:30 p.m. We will arrange for carpooling from the Wood River and Treasure valleys. The tour is suitable for all ages and is a great family activity.

The first stop will be at Ballard Cheese. The Ballards control every aspect of production from the farm to the table.

Steve grows the feed, and the family milks and feeds their 75 Jersey cows themselves, with the help of some part-time employees to milk and package the cheese.

Ballards’ cows produce 2500 pounds of milk per week, which results in about 1000 pounds of cheese per week. We will visit the dairy, learn about the cheese-making process and taste samples of award-winning Ballard cheese.

Next we will visit The Ecology Patch. Theresa Strolberg has been selling fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, pies, and pickles since 1992. At 63 years old, Theresa doesn’t want to expand her business but would like to start teaching—to pass on the knowledge of food preservation,

baking, gardening and marketing that she has accumulated over the years. Theresa doesn’t just talk about sustainability, she lives it! She chooses an organic, sustainable way of life to protect the environment and have healthy food. Theresa will show us her organic orchard and garden and we will learn about her hand-made insect traps.

The tour will finish at Fish Breeders of Idaho, where Leo Ray produces and processes high-quality rainbow trout, catfish, tilapia and sturgeon, as well as sturgeon caviar. The tilapia and catfish swim in 80degree geothermal water, while the trout and sturgeon swim in cold spring water, constantly flowing through concrete raceways. We’ll meet Leo and visit the sturgeon streams and fish hatchery.

Please bring a sack lunch, water and enthusiasm! Price: $5 per person or $15 per car. For more info and to sign up, please call Julia Augustus at 721-1412, e-mail jaugustus@idahosbounty. org or visit www.idahosbounty. org

Growing up in his family’s flower shops and greenhouses, Paul was always amazed with his father’s passion for helping plants grow. That passion continued in 1993 when Paul began his own business in the Sun Valley area providing horticultural services for trees and turf. By 2000, the business had evolved into Organic Solutions, highlighting Paul’s desire to offer the safest products and techniques in lawn and tree care. Organic Solutions has now grown into two specific divisions, Plant Health Care and ProGuard Pest.

Organic Solutions’ Plant Health Care division begins by focusing on plant nutrition and soil health. Together with Plant Health Care Manager Keith Boren, Paul puts his ISA-certified arborist credentials to use through tree inspections and problem diagnosis, as well as recommending and performing treatment for tree and shrub pests. A supporter of the local Trout Friendly Lawns program, Organic Solutions continues to offer natural-based and reduced-impact solutions wherever effective.

Additionally, while Organic Solutions has offered pest control services for years, Paul recently took a step forward by creating a dedicated identity for this business. Organic Solutions’ ProGuard Pest division is managed

Tuning up your lawn mower for Spring

If it were only as simple as dragging your power mower out of the garage and firing it up as soon as your spring lawn grows high enough for trimming.

While this may work fine for some homeowners, many others simply yank their arms out trying to get the motor running. A little prep work tuning up the machine before the first need to mow your grass can save your armâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and your peace of mind.

Find a lawn maintenance and mowing pro

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not mechanically inclined, you may want to take your mower to Sawtooth Wood Products and ask for help. For those who prefer to do it yourself, here are some tips:

Changing the oil

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to have a warm engine before doing the work, so add just enough gas to fire it up (which, hopefully, it will do) and run it long enough to heat up. When ready, prop up the mower and open the plug beneath the oil tank and drain it.

Change the oil filter and clean and lube the gasket.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea when doing any of this work to disconnect the plug wire to prevent accidental startups.

Replacing the spark plug and air filter

The spark plug should come out easily with a socket wrench. If not, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force it. You may need to call in a lawn-care expert or haul it to the mower shop. The new plug needs gapping. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t saved the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual, you may have to call a dealer for specs. The air filter should come right out of its housing with a turn of a screw. Pop in the new one and fire it all up. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good to go.

Lube your mower

Grease and lubricate all fittings and linkages.

Sharpen blade

Believe it or not, a dull lawn mower blade can leave your grass susceptible to various diseases.

Torn edges donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heal the way clean cuts do; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

! " #$$$$

make your lawn sick by ripping instead of clipping.

Sharpen your blade at least once a year, depending upon your mowing frequency. If there are noticeable nicks in the blade, replace it completely.

If all of this sounds a little too daunting, the professional technicians at Sawtooth Wood Products are ready to assist you.

Small acts of kindness to your lawn mower can pay big dividends in the health, happiness and beauty of your lawn this summer.

WRLT certifies more Gold Standard lawns The 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-toler-

ant plants. The Gold Standard asks residents to choose a certain number of Trout Friendly practices, such as establishing a ‘no-mow zone,’ 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 the Wood River Land Trust at 788-3947, e-mail tfl@ woodriverlandtrust.org or visit www. troutfriendly.org

Sawtooth Botanical Garden kids classes Living in a state like Idaho, it’s almost inconceivable that a child could grow up and never have been on a hike, known what sagebrush is, or even dug in the dirt. Sadly, many children in the Wood River Valley haven’t done these things. When asked, “Where does food come from?” a common response from children is “the grocery store.” How did things get to this point? The advancement of technology is a major reason why many modern children don’t explore outside during their free time.

Understanding our natural world has many positive effects on children.

The benefits range from reducing the

risk of obesity and psychological disorders to being more successful in school (Bodner et al. 2008.) Children who explore our natural world will grow to become stewards of our Earth.

Enrolling your kids in Summer Garden Camps at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden is a great way to get the ball rolling. There are three sessions taking place during June, July and August.

Sessions consist of six three-hour classes. Sign up your kids for one class or all three sessions. Your kids will learn valuable garden-based lessons while having a wonderful time! For more information or to register, call Teresa at 208.726.9358
