Rhythm and Ride By KAREN BOSSICK

S

kiing put Sun Valley on the map. Now cycle enthusiasts want to put its pedal pushing in the spotlight. Sun Valley has some of the best bicycling in the world—including 500-plus miles of single tracks in the immediate area, several thousand more miles of trail just over the hill, a bike path that extends 22 miles through three communities and an active Safe Routes to School program, they say. And people like Jim Keating, who heads up the Blaine County Recreation District, and Greg Martin of the Wood River Bicycle

Coalition think the outside world needs to know that. The Sun Valley area will take a major first step to boasting about its amenities beginning tonight with the inaugural Sun Valley Rhythm and Ride Bike and Music Festival. The festival will feature five days of various bike events, yoga, music and trail running. Many of the events are free. And practically all hold excitement for spectators. “I don’t know of another bicycle festival like this,” said Martin, whose coalition championed the recent construction of 15 miles of new single track west of Hailey and state-of-the-art

bicycle pump parks in Ketchum and Hailey. “Most bicycle festivals tend to focus on road biking or mountain biking. I’ve never seen one like this that has everything from a fat tire rally to a pump track championship.” Martin said the efforts to improve cycling in the valley won’t end Sunday night when the festival’s over. The Coalition is working with the Bureau of Land Management and other groups to build a dirt path along Croy Road that bikers can ride from the Carbonate Ridge trailhead to the BMX track near Rotarun Ski

Free shows jazzin’ up Ketchum’s Rotary park

T

By KAREN BOSSICK

he Paul Tillotson Trio will kick off six weeks of free Jazz in the Park concerts on Sunday. Tillotson, a jazz musician from New York City, will play from 6 to 8 p.m. at Ketchum’s Rotary Park on Warm Springs and Saddle roads. Weather permitting, that is. “We had a snowstorm during the opening concert last year, and I must have had 30 to 50 people call and ask why we cancelled the concert,” said Dayle Fowler, a Hailey woman who puts up the money for the concerts. “I told them I did not want to sit on my blanket in the twp snow.”

Other headliners

July 4—Pianist Alan Pennay with vocalist Cheryl Morrell. July 11—The Sun Valley Latin Jazz Ensemble featuring Russ Caldwell on drums. July 18—Kevin Kirk’s Onomatopoeia, a huge group from Boise. July 25—John Northrop’s Jazz Rangers. Aug. 1—Idaho Falls Jazz House Band. This large band of 17 musicians paid their own way over last year because they wanted to play Sun Valley and they became an instant hit. The crowds at the concerts are growing every year, said Will Caldwell. But you won’t find them trying to compete with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony.

uick! Can you tell what Ketchum business is represented by a tiny gift-wrapped box containing a picture of New York City? Bing-a-dink-ding! If you guessed Wrap City, that is. You’ll have a chance to pursue clues like that—and easier—as the Lee Pesky Learning Center expands its annual Marvelous Minds Scavenger Hunt to include families. The learning center is staging its family friendly scavenger hunt for free this year from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, July 10. Teams of up to eight players— children included—are invited to race through the streets of Ketchum, solving clues, testing their ingenuity and their ability to think outside the box. The hunt sign-in will take place at the new Ketchum Town Square across from Atkinsons’ Market in Ketchum. But people should register in advance by calling 208-333-0008. “We’re really reaching out to the families this year since so many of our clients are young children,� said Mary Rau, who is helping to organize the event. Having the scavenger hunt in the morning will enable supporters to go home and shower before returning for the dinner and live auction later that night, said Rau. The dinner will be held at 7 p.m. at The Community School in Sun Valley. The live auction will include such treasures as an exotic Costa Rican getaway in a designer’s private home, a week in an exclusive Bermudian beach front retreat and a stay at Montana’s Yellowstone Bend Ranch, a private hunting and fishing preserve that once hosted President Obama. Cocktails and a Silent Auciton will begin at 5:30 p.m. Proceeds from the benefit go to The Lee Pesky Learning Center, which has outreaches in Ketchum, Hailey, Boise and Caldwell. The center provides services for youth and adults who learn differently. It also has expanded into teaching children social awareness and social skills. Tickets are $150 per person and include cocktails, appetizers, dinner and a few surprises, including a performance by opera singer and LPLC board Member Lara Nie. Those who can’t attend in person may bid online at www. biddingforgood.com/leepesky For information, call 208-3330008 or visit www.lplearningtwp center.org

Free Wild Lunch program sees over 50 “Wow, you can see the inside of its head!” “Each of those rings is one year? That tree is ancient!” These and many more observations were made at the kick-off week of Wild Lunch. The first week was a success—over 50 kids came to learn about nature at Woodside Elementary. Students focused on growth and plants in the first week. They viewed time-lapse photography of seeds growing; compared horns and antlers; and made rubbings of a 200-year-old Douglas fir “tree cookie.” They explored how flowers can transfer color,

and dissected flowers to learn about the reproductive parts. Next week participants will look at animal skulls and hides to explore the predator/prey relationship, as well as look at aquatic invertebrates and the insects that kids will collect in the nets. There are three more weeks worth of exciting topics to teach such as night flyers and beavers. Please join the Environmental Resource Center for Wild Lunch Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Woodside Elementary. FREE!

briefs SV/K CVB downsizes board

SVCA and ERC team up for eco camp The Sun Valley Center for the Arts and the Environmental Resource Center are once again teaming up to present a weeklong overnight camp for seventh to ninth graders that combines art, nature and science. Held at the Central Idaho 4-H Camp 17 miles north of Ketchum, Eco Camp: Wild Art is an overnight field ecology and natural history program that uses art as the lens to explore nature, giving young teens the opportunities for selfexpression and discovery that they crave. The Center will provide daily art workshops in small groups in a variety of mediums. Field instructors will then

guide participants in applying those new techniques to complement our study of ecology, geology and natural history. There will be open studio time each day (and campfires every night), and the program will conclude with a gallery show for family and friends where the artists can proudly display their pieces. ECO Camp: Wild Art will be held Monday–Friday, August 9–13. Camp is open to kids entering grades 7–9 and costs $400 for the week. To register or for more information, including information about scholarships, please visit www.ercsv.org or call 208.726.4333.

ICA awards grants to Trailing of the Sheep The Idaho Commission on the Arts has awarded a grant for the 14th annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival in the amount of $6,284. The letter from ICA Executive Director Michael Faison says, “The panel judging your application was professional, rigorous, impartial, yet individualized. Endeavors such as yours enhance not only the community where you live, but the culture of other Idahoans and thereby the state as a whole.� “We are thrilled,� said Dick Springs, President of the Board. “This event is such an important celebration of our history and heritage. Funding and support from the Idaho Commission on

the Arts is a great honor and so important to our mission and our fundraising efforts.� The 14th annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival is scheduled for October 8, 9 and 10, 2010. The event is a celebration and includes culinary events, cultural exhibits, dancers and musicians. It also includes SheepTales gathering, a full-day Folklife Fair, the Trailing of the Sheepdog Trials and the Parade of 1,500 sheep down Main Street on Sunday along with stories, history, a sheepherder’s hike and authentic lamb barbecue.

The new board will immediately formulate a plan to ensure an effective transition between current and future marketing initiatives, in order to keep the momentum going. “It is critical to refresh and expand this area’s marketing to increase the awareness of the Sun Valley area and spur economic growth,� commented Rob Santa, President of the SVKCVB. “The CVB board thanks the many civic and business leaders who continue to give their time, expertise, and vision to make this a vibrant place.

Failing to produce a promised documentary, Banksy takes over, and decides to make a film about Guetta. As he says in the film, “It’s basically the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.” Based on a dare, Guetta turns himself into Mr. Brainwash, and the rest is art history. The plot twist is too good to give away, but suffice it to say the art world will never be the same again. Exit Through The Gift Shop is a marvel and provokes thought and conversation while at the same time leaving you rolling in twp the aisles with laughter.

are safe with you. Not so much with your friends. This is no time to spill the anecdotes of your inner world, not even those that seem silly and harmless. Things get twisted in the retelling. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Support your friends by attending their gatherings and contributing to the conversation in interesting ways. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. You might have to do some research to find appropriate conversational fodder. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You keep comparing yourself to people who are much more experienced than you. It helps to drive you forward, but it can also be discouraging. For now, stop the comparisons and just do your best. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re likely to go on a wild goose chase and wind up with not even so much as a feather. Are you better for the quest? It may not feel like it, but now at least you know which avenues not to turn down next time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can only do what you can, and that is enough. You won’t believe it, and you’ll be tempted to tire yourself out trying to push harder than is necessary. Be smart. Get your beauty rest instead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re probably still unsure about the best next move. And here’s something

out there who would feel honored to be your mentor. Do you have the courage to ask? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your next move will be a strategic one. Doing the right thing will be only slightly harder than doing the convenient thing, but it will save you from awkwardness and pain in the future. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Asking yourself to do too much at once is mean. You wouldn’t do it to a child or even to a full-grown loved one. And right now you’re a bit fragile. Give yourself the extra care you need. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 20). Your new year is marked by a powerful inner confidence. You no longer feel you need validation from outside sources, and ironically, praise and appreciation are lavished on you over the next 10 weeks. A long quest culminates in July. September brings a bonus. October is for building business. Sagittarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 35, 29, 31 and 15. FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The fantastically popular party at Stonehenge is not the game in town when it comes to celebrating the summer solstice. Summer solstice celebrations happen all over the globe. Although many celebrations are not timed exactly with the solstice, they have their roots in this momentous annual event. For instance, European countries celebrate midsummer on various dates, each in their own way, with festivals, fairs and feasts. In Latvia, thousands of people eat Janu cheese, drink beer and sing hundreds of Latvian folk songs. In Germany, there will be wreaths and bonfires, and in Italy and Ireland, there will be fireworks. The Mongolians will be busy getting ready for the festival of Naadam, which comes soon after the solstice, featuring games and ceremonies that date back to ancient times. In one such event, more than a thousand wrestlers fight for the championship. Their colorful names, such as “EyePleasing Nationally Famous Mighty and Invincible Giant,” disclose their glorious hopes for the competition. As the sun appears to stand still in reverence of this important marker in her journey, it’s the ideal time to pause to ponder and name your own hopes for the next half of the year.

This is the last day of the sun’s vacation through Gemini. The visits have been lively, the conversation and debate enlightening. Studies were furthered, and delightful information has been shared. Tomorrow the sun enters Cancer, and we will start to figure out how to incorporate what we’ve learned into our homes and our daily habits. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You could get a cancelation, and this frees you up. Anyway, rushing around is so uncool. You’ll like your life so much more when you leave the extra time you need for goofing off. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get the chance to demonstrate how responsible you are. The positive reception you will get afterward feels good, but not nearly as good as the self-respect you get from a job well done. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When the creative inspiration strikes, you strike back by capturing the moment in a most unique way. You are playing a magical game with the muses, and that is why they will continue to favor you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes your people lean on you to such a degree that you feel like you’re doing all the work. You’re not doing all of it, though -- just most of it. Do less, and they’ll kick in with more help.

The extension of the Toe of the Hill Trail from Wood River High School to Bellevue along the foothills will be built as soon as a land swap with the Bureau of Land Management and Wood River Land Trust is signed. The Coalition is partnering with the Ketchum Ranger District to upgrade the Eve Gulch trail, a steep trail in Adams Gulch near Ketchum that was damaged in the Castle Rock Fire. The new trail, to be completed this summer or next, will be designed as a flow trail with high speed berms and jumps. The Coalition has also been working to preserve existing trails, such as Curly’s behind

Easley Hot Springs. And it’s pressing for additional improvements, such as a shoulder along the Highway 75 from the downtown Ketchum to Saddle Road, along with a bike lane from the Hailey Park and Ride lot to the Carbonate Ridge trailhead on Croy Road just west of Hailey. Martin says he’s already drawing up a wish list for ways to expand the events at next year’s Rhythm and Ride Festival. “I’d like to see some larger competitions that would bring recognition to this area,� he said. “I’d like to see some stage races, too, where you spend five or six days in Ketchum and every day you ride another trail. That would bring a lot of business to twp the area.�

ven the strongest bicyclists can only pedal so long. Then it’s time to boogie. The bicycle festival is offering two very danceable concerts, as well as a jazz concert allowing people to wind down at the end. FRIDAY Zap Mama with Marie Daulne at 7 p.m. at Hop Porter Park in Hailey Lead singer Marie Daulne, who was born in the Congo but raised in Belgium, describes the mix of world music, fusion, African a capella, soul and hip-hop that she sings Afro-European. “The voice is an instrument itself. The original instrument. The primary instrument. The most soulful instrument,� she says. And Daulne, who has perfoermed such venues as Austin City Limits, is certainly watchable, thanks to the wardrobe of hats and boas that follows her around in a truck. No Hillary Clinton pantsuits for this woman! Tickets: $20 for Sun Valley Center for the Arts members, $25 for others and $5 for kids 12 and younger, available at sunvalleycenter.org or 726-9491. Coolers and blankets are allowed but no dogs, high-backed chairs. Food and drink will be available from vendors. SATURDAY Sun Valley Rhythm and Ride R&R Concert, 3-9 p.m. at Sun Valley’s Festival Meadows on Sun Valley Road Rock out to a variety of music from American-made Brazilian music to a high-energy rhythmic band on Saturday. Saturday’s concert will run from 3 to 9 p.m. in Festival Meadows next to Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church on Sun Valley Road. Sambada, which plays American-made Brazilian music at carnivals in San Diego and San Francisco, will headline the concert from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Pimps of Joy, a high-energy rhythmic band from New York, will perform from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Molly Venter, an Austin, Texas, singer known for the ballads and love songs she belts out, will perform from 4 to 5 p.m. And House of Quist, a brother-sister trio whose father Rob Quist has played the Northern Rockies Folk Festival, will present their version of rock from 3 to 4 p.m. “This music is killer,� said organizer Will Caldwell. “And we’re positioning the stage to use the hill as an amphitheater. We want to get people here and keep them as busy as possible.� Tickets, available at the gate, are $20 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under SUNDAY Jazz in the Park, 6-8 p.m. at Ketchum’s Rotary Park at Warm Springs and Saddle roads New York jazz superstar Paul Tillotson will headline the opening of this free concert series sponsored by Dayle Ohlau.

for non-humanity

igh water (Payette), cold temperby: BALI atures, wet weather SZABO and the economy have conspired to delay the start of the rafting season till about now, at least for outfitters. The Middle Fork season will get underway in earnest in late June, and it’ll be a great time to go, with water levels around 5 feet and dropping. By mid-July, rafters will have to fly in to Indian Creek, about 30 miles downriver. In 2000, as I stood above the dramatic loading ramp of Boundary Creek, getting ready for my first look at the ‘real’ Idaho, little did I know that many consider the Middle Fork of the Salmon River America’s perfect river. The oft-cited reason is that one can float its entire 104-mile length, and so experience this tributary as a whole. Thus, it becomes a metaphor for the journey of life. That insight may deepen our ap-

takes us through. There’s geology, the changes in terrain and ecosystems, different types of rapids, great fishing holes, numerous hot springs, waterfalls, evidence of forest fires past and present, pioneer history, hermits, murders, Indian and military lore, Xrated Shoshone pictographs, hunting in autumn and the great diversity of flora and fauna. For most people, the greatest satisfaction comes from seeing and camping among animals. The birthing and life-sustaining water concentrates many of Idaho’s species in one place. Along this narrow corridor and its drainages, animals live and visit. Spawning salmon and trout are visible in the clear, shallow water. Fish attract the playful river otter. Ouzels cruise the surface for skippers and flies. Geese, mergansers and chukars are training their young, as are the bighorn sheep, down for a drink. Whitetail deer wander through camp in the early morn’, as bleary-eyed as the rest of us. Water-loving rattlers laze in the thickets. Songbirds signal coffee’s on. twp

preciation for the river, but it’s all the other experiences it offers that make it exciting, educational, or a holistic experience. This is literally an adventure that is fun for the whole family. One fellow from Boise regularly goes down the 314 rapids in his wheelchair anchored in the outfitter’s drift boat. This run isn’t just about the thrills, spills and chills of the whitewater. Like the journey down the Grand Canyon of the Colorado (Arizona, not Texas) it is an encounter with the life of the Earth in all its glory. After a week or three on these rivers, the joy and grandeur of living is re-affirmed. Then you turn on the TV and see the Gulf of Mexico, the death of the Earth you perhaps just met and learned to love, and its heartbreak. It is as if we live in two divergent universes, one foot in each, and soon will have to decide in which to stand. If the decision is made for us, we’re not going to like it. The Middle Fork has something for everyone. The river’s great personality is shaped by all the changes it

fter the first two braves shimmied through Chalk Cave’s teensy rock mouth opening, we sent in three more pairs of well-equipped students each succeeding hour. I had mixed feelings about bringing communications into the cavern, as caves are well known for being hallowed sanctuaries from the powerful bombardment of our communication spectrum. However, since our tech students had invented this novel antenna, which they had spiked into the soil above Chalk Cave’s elongated passageways, this would be a good means for us to test and fine-tune their new underground radio transmission system. Meanwhile, Amy and I climbed back up the ridge and over the dually van to discuss what to do about its flat tire. I was hesitant to hoist it up on a jack, since it was bulging with the extra weight of heavy silver; when Amy observed that since it was only one of four rear tires, we could still operate the pantechnicon by shredding the rest of the ruined tire clean off. Seeing no better tool than the spear point, which first caused the flat, we used it to slice the remaining rubber remnants away. Next,

I shot a Polaroid of the spear point’s black mirror face, and posted it to my adventurous Max Rudolph Facebook page. Then we used the same weapon to burrow a hole in the hard earth to return the artifact where it belonged—hopefully burying it deep enough so nobody else would experience a flat tire there for another five hundred years. The afternoon was turning late, when we received communication that the first group had discovered the Salinger and mysterious map parchments Lana and I had hid in the lava tube last year—and they would soon be returning with it. They also reported that the strange luminous humming was continuous throughout the cave depths and they couldn’t pinpoint the exact source from where it stemmed. As Amy and I waited along with the remaining schoolchildren, we studied the vast landing where our community’s wise elders had rallied together as a cohesive team and slated the new airport to be. Here we marveled over some of its pros and cons. Then we popped the question to the children: what they thought if we were to work out a unique deal with the authorities whereby our class could have a supporting role with the new airport. “What do you mean, like a de-icing/car wash for airplanes or something?� quizzed one of the kids. What the children didn’t know was that since last year, after coming into possession of the enlightening maps that our crew was about to extract from the

cave, I had worked out a legal claim over the forty untaken acres. Standing under the ancient wooden arch gave a better perspective, as from the light there we could see that the lava terrain of our new land clearly held a darker color then the surrounding sun-parched earth did. I remembered hearing that during the Borah earthquake of ’83 there were some heavy rumblings in the Picabo desert and I wondered if the earth here at the time had expanded unnoticed with a small lava flow, thus giving birth to this uncharted land. Later on, an INL seismologist confirmed this to be true and right now beautiful Amy’s starstruck eyes practically popped out when I formally announced that this land ripe for claiming next to the new airport would soon be ours and the silver safely tucked away would fund whatever positive foundation we wanted to construct upon it‌ twp

About the author: Twice, when Jim Banholzer has taken Polaroid photos of indigenous artifacts, unusually colored swirls, not noticed before, have inexplicably appeared in the background. He lives in an old dynamite shack, where he feels fairly safe from the over-bombardment of outer-communication influences. Not turning the TV on much, except for baseball or The Discovery Channel, helps this mood. At this stage in his life, Banholzer feels like his mancave is a good energy spot, somewhat conducive to productive writing.

Bill Sutcliff survives fall By KAREN BOSSICK

M

any people thought Bill Sutcliff was a goner. But the Ketchum man is expected to make a near-full recovery, if not a full recovery, after falling 20 feet off a roof onto a cement patio. “A lot of people are still coming up to me all sad because they hadn’t heard that he had pulled out of it,� said Sutcliff’s girlfriend, Narda Pitkethly. “I want to get the word out that Bill is alive and doing well. He’s a miracle and it’s because of all the pockets of people praying for him.� Sutcliff, a native of Ketchum, has been a familiar figure around Ketchum his entire 55 years. He has worked as a pharmacist, a fly-fishing guide and a ski instructor and been an active member of The Sun Club. On June 5, he fell off the roof while washing windows. A co-worker found him lying in a pool of blood and he was Life-Flighted to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. Doctors reduced the swelling in his brain and did what they could to revive their comatose patient. But after nine days prospects looked grim enough that they began talking with Bill’s siblings about pulling the plug. Pitkethly cried all her tears and said her goodbyes. “He’d suffered a concession in a bike accident last summer and told us that he never wanted to be in a situation where he couldn’t fish or ski again so we knew he wouldn’t want to live if it meant being a vegetable. But then one doctor said, ‘Let’s give him 24 more hours.’ And he came to the next day,� said Pitkethly. Today, Sutcliff is walking with assistance and standing on his own. He likely will have to learn to speak again, said Pitkethly. But he’s already managed to say three words— words that sounded like heaven to Pitkethly’s ears. “He said, ‘I love you,’ � Pitkethly said in a whisper. twp

Erwin Kett, Hailey, treated students of the WRHS Chess Club to a relaxing day of chess, free from the competiveness of formal tournaments at his house on Saturday, June 19. Erwin is a long time supporter of the WRHS Chess Club and has volunteered his time and money to support students of the high school in their scholastic chess endeavors. Invited to participate were WRHS alumni and graduates, and friends of the chess club. The venue attracted BSU graduate student and two-time State Champion, Garrett Reynolds and other chess notables such as Jeff Roland, Boise and Jeff Baggett, Ketchum. The event totaled 18 kids and adults and featured four rounds of G/60 games. G/60 means that each player gets 1 hour to complete their game. These were relatively slow time controls for the high school students, but rather fast controls for the adults who are used to playing four to six hour tournament games. Award sections were broken down into juniors, high schoolers, and adults with all players playing each other in one open section. The tournament was Rocky Mountain Chess rated with no significant upsets. Garrett Reynolds coasted with four wins. In between rounds, he helped players and analyzed games providing welcomed learning. Four players tied with three points: Jamie Lang, Shane Taylor, Jeff Baggett, and Jeff Roland. Former WRHS Champion, Nick Bruck finished in 6th place with 2.5 points, claimed the top high school position. Desmond Porth, 1.5 points finished as the top junior. Alumni present included WRHS Champion Taylor Walton, Bughouse Champion Kitt Connor, Blitz Champion Danny Mills, and Tyler Jaramillo. Souvenir trophies were provided by Adam Porth and lunch for all players was provided for by the Kett’s. For other local chess events or to support the WRHS Chess Club, contact Adam Porth, 4509048 or visit the WRHS Chess Club website: www. twp wix.com/aporth/WRHS-Chess-Club.

ollars for Scholars won’t appear in the credits besides Sean Dahlman’s name when by: Karen he writes a Bossick sweeping musical score for some Hollywood film. But Dahlman has already acknowledged the organization’s role in making that happen. Dahlman was one of 27 graduating seniors this year who received scholarships from the Wood River Valley Chapter of Dollars for Scholars. The students came from all five Valley high schools, including the new Sage School. They’ll use their scholarships to fan across the country—from Miami International University Art and Design to Humboldt State University, from Loyola Marymount University to Boise Medical College. Dahlman will use his scholarship to pursue a major in music and a minor in environmental studies at the College of Idaho where his tuition is $30,000 a year. Dahlman said he chose the College of Idaho because it is close to home, it’s in his beloved state of Idaho and it offers him the prestige he feels is necessary to compose and write music for films and TV. “The scholarship made achieving my dream one step closer,” said Dahlman, who has performed with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony School of Music and the Wood River Community Orchestra. “It made a huge difference, especially since my parents are heavily cashstrapped right now. They’re supporting three college students.” About 80 people came together Thursday night at The Valley Club to ensure that next year’s high school graduates will get an extra boost, as Dahlman did. The Louisiana-style barbecue featured a killer barbecue

Wildflower tour on Dollar Mountain Story and Photos By KAREN BOSSICK

L

ara Rozzell gets down on her knees along a trail winding across the backside of Dollar Mountain and squints at a clump of mountain bluebell. “The bluebells are too big for bees to get to the nectar. So sometimes they take bites out of the back of the flower,” she explains to a group of people that have gathered around her. “There are more than 350 known bees in Utah. But I don’t see nearly so many here,” the botanist adds. Rozzell is in the midst of a wildflower hike for the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. Each week she or other naturalists lead the curious tromping through sagebrush, along creeks and in woods on a scavenger hunt of sorts. Those who attend come away with deeper appreciation for tiny blue-eyed Marys and other things that might otherwise go unnoticed. “It’s amazing how we have all this out here and I completely ignored it for so long,” says Sun Valley resident Ted Witt. “One day I said: This is ridiculous. If anybody has any natural curiosity at all, they should check it out.” Rozzell sits down next to a clump of longspur lupine and talks about their tendency to cross breed as the hikers marvel at the mix of yellow and maroon colors on the flowers which grow in profusion on Dollar Mountain. What you can’t see, Rozzell says, is the fungi on their roots. Lupine need that fungi to grow, she adds. The larkspur attracts butterflies with a very long tongue, Ro-

zzell says, siding up to a purple flower with a notable spur. “They don’t have the promiscuous pollen confusion you get when insects frequent dozens of different plants,” she adds. In contrast, the vetch—a wild sweet pea—is pollinated by insects that use their back legs to open the flower and get the food out . As they do, they get dusted with pollen which they then carry to the next plant. Indian paintbrush adds a splash of color to any landscape. But it’s a partial parasite that feeds off other plants. Rozzell picks a pink ball off a sagebrush and opens it to reveal a grub inside. Galls are cancerous growths on sagebrush, she says. But they allow insects a spot to grow in a safe environment before they eat a hole in the gall and fly away. The shape and color of the gall is determined by what insect created it. Rozzell stops at a tall herbaceous plant with featherly leaves and white flowers. She pulls off a leaf and chews on it. “Sweet cicely is called that because it’s so delicious,” she says as others begin acknowledging the taste of anise. “People use its

The Sawtooth Botanical Garden plans to continue its Wildflower Walks through mid-

July this year because of the prolonged growing season, said Allison Kennedy, the garden’s education director. 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 garden members and $15 for non-members. To register, call 208-726-9358. twp

CSI student Kate Gren is heading back to Poland

“I have been very fortunate that so many people at the College of Southern Idaho in Hailey have made it possible for a foreigner from Poland, like me, to benefit from your education system,” said CSI art student Kate Gren. After completing eight semesters of study at CSI, Gren is graduating with an associate’s degree in art. “It has been a wonderful experience. Just last fall I was able to join a photography workshop in King City, California, and meet a friend and coworker of the great Ansel Adams himself. It’s moments like these that are truly unforgettable.” Gren’s photography won the “Best Photography” award at the CSI student art show in Twin Falls last year, and she was invited to join the Phi Theta Kappa organization for her academic excellence. Some of Gren’s photographs are on permanent display at the National Steinbeck Center in San Miguel, California. Gren has been awarded numerous Blaine County scholarships to help pay her foreign student tuition. She was also awarded the Lauterback Educational Trust Scholarship, and the Juliet Boone Memorial General Scholarship. “After graduation I will return to Poland and open a photography and art studio,” Gren stated. “It has been my great pleasure to meet and befriend many of my professors and I really want to thank everybody for all the help I have received so far.” In addition to her photographs and drawings, Gren also makes one-ofa-kind masks that were recently displayed at the Blaine County Campus, and are now available for purchase. “I have to admit that I will be very sad to leave,” Gren added. “I have spent full, challenging years here that have helped push me forward, and evolve me as an artist, as well as a person, to get me closer to my dream career.” For more information about Gren, summer and fall classes, and scholarship opportunities call the CSI Blaine County Center at (208) 788-2033.

Ice shows to feature Lysacek By KAREN BOSSICK

E

van Lysacek, who bested Russian competitor Evgeni Plushenko in a heated showdown at the 2010 Winter Olympics, will headline the Sun Valley Ice Shows this summer. And audiences will also get a sneak preview of a 10-yearold who could become the Evan Lysacek and Evgeni Plushenko of the future. The shows, which kick off on Saturday and run through Sept. 4, will feature most of the 2010 U.S. champions in gold, silver and bronze, said ice show producer Lana Breazeale. They will also feature some old favorites like Viktor Petrenko, Brian Boitano and Sasha Cohen. And get your knife and fork ready—the dinner buffet is back, taking the place of the dessert buffet. Ten-year-old Nathan Chen, the 2010 U.S. gold medalist in the novice division of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, will perform with 2010 U.S. gold medalist Rachael Flatt on July 3 and 2010 U.S. gold medalist Jeremy Abbott on July 10. The Salt Lake City youth started figure skating at 3 and includes the triple toe and triple salchow among his feats. ABC World News featured Chen as their Person of the Week during February’s Winter Olympics in Vancouver. But he won’t be old enough to compete in an Olympics until 2018. Summer cast members skating week in and week out will include Olympic bronze medalist Jozef “Jumpin’ Joe� Sabovcik; Ashley Clark, two-time U.S. Figure Skating Association gold medalist; U.S. senior champion skater Craig Heath, who performed 10 double axels in a

briefs Wildflowers and full moon hike

Recent rains should make this another banner year for the annual eruption of wildflowers at Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. Peak bloom is approaching and should last through early July. Currently, dwarf buckwheat and silver-leaved phacelia make up the bulk of the display on the cinder cones, but the varied habitats of the monument support more than 700 different types of plants. Although June brings the most impressive show of flowering plants, there are a wide variety of wildflowers that bloom throughout the summer. View and print our new Wildflower Guide at the following Internet address: http://www.nps.gov/crmo/naturescience/wildflowers.htm Daily guided walks and evening programs are now being offered.

o you have joint or muscle pain? It may be your posture. According to the Egoscue Method of posture alignment, the “design posture” of the human body is to have the load-bearing joints of the shoulders, hips, knees and ankles at 90-degree angles to each other from the front and side views. Stand up and take a look – are your shoulders level, hips square and feet pointed straight ahead? Deviation from this “design posture” can lead to pain as a result of musculoskeletal dysfunctions and compensations. Dysfunctions are when the body’s musculoskeletal system loses the ability to perform everyday movements for which it is created. This can lead to compensations, where the muscles begin engaging in actions and movements for which they are not intended. Since the muscles move the bones, the result of these dysfunctions and compensations can be seen in postural imbalances. The goals of posture alignment therapy are: rediscover the body’s design, restore function, and return to health. The Egoscue Method is based on the concept that the body develops and is maintained through motion and responds to stimulus. Postural deviations that cause pain are typically the result of not enough motion and muscle atrophy, or too much of the same, repetitive movements and muscle over-development and imbalances. To return the body to postural balance, the Egoscue Method uses a personalized program of stretching and

Fishing R epoRt

The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR JUne 23, 2010 • By: Jim sanTa

T

he report for this week picks up where last weeks report left off. As was the case a week ago Silver Creek remains the main focal point, so let’s get right to it. There has been an increase in the variety on the menu for the inhabitants of the creek. In addition to the pmd and baetis that have provided the main food source in the preserve, some green drakes and even some callibaetis have appeared. This makes any of these 4 mayflies a possibility, so be prepared as the fish may key in on any one of these. Small nymphs, pheasant rump (a.k.a trout crack), damsel nymphs and beetles are also all good selections. Downstream of highway 20 the brown drake hatch which had been strong at the beginning of last week took a bit of a break with the cooler temperatures mid and late week. Whether this comes back with some warmer days and evenings is all speculation. It’s certainly possible, but I wouldn’t place a bet on this one. The only way to know is to go. As far as our freestone streams are concerned, we saw well below average flows around Memorial weekend followed by well above average flows the following week. Right now things are about average for late June and we’ll expect as usual for all of these waters to come into shape in early July. Penny Lake and Lake Creek Lake are stocked and remain great options to have some family fishing fun with the kids.

Bingham: creation and environment By KAREN BOSSICK

I

n 1993 a homemaker-turnedEpiscopal priest became increasingly disenchanted with the traditional Christian response to subjugate God’s creation. It made no sense to baptize people by washing their sins with polluted water that itself had been sinned against, reasoned Sally Bingham. “We are the people who profess a love of God and God’s world. As such, we must be stewards and caretakers of the Earth.” In response, Bingham founded a nonprofit organization called the Regeneration Project. The Project created a national Interfaith Power and Light Campaign to unite all faiths to combat global warming. Today, more than 4,000 churches, synagogues, Buddhist temples and mosques in 23 states practice conservation methods to reduce their carbon footprint, including buying green electricity generated by wind and solar power. And Bingham—environmental minister at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco—is still spreading her gospel of taking care of God’s creation. She’ll do that Friday night when she talks about “Shared Purpose: A Religious Response to the Climate Crisis” at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 201 Sun Valley Road in Ketchum. The free talk, which examines the link between faith and environment, starts at 7 p.m. Bingham will sign copies of

her recent book, “Love God, Heal Earth,” afterwards. Bingham also will preach at the church’s 8 and 9:30 a.m. services on Sunday. Bingham is being brought by St. Thomas’ Green Team, which has been working for the past year to reduce that church’s carbon footprint. “One of the things Sally Bingham has said that impressed me is that ‘the environment is an issue of compassion, not politics,’” said Mary Malkmus, who heads up the Green Team. “Here in our Valley we have so much of nature to enjoy. But with that comes the responsibility to protect it for future generations.” twp

briefs The Haute Trash Fashion Show

The Haute Trash Fashion Show will showcase garments made from thrown-away materials, modeled by local models of all shapes and sizes to generate awareness of the need for sustainable to-go containers throughout the Wood River Valley. The coming event is a response to the “sea of plastic” that now floats in the Pacific Ocean. This toxic stew, twice the size of Texas, weighs almost 3.5 million tons and floats between San Francisco and Hawaii. Eighty percent of the debris originated on land, and could have been easily prevented (San Francisco Chronicle, Oct. 19, 2007). Since 2002, Haute Trash has produced over 100 shows, reshaping societal views on beauty, recycling and, ultimately, trash. Outfits are designed from an assortment of thrown-away materials such as construction fencing, food packaging, inner tubes, soda pop tops, coffee cups, plastic bags, and other salvaged materials. The fashion show will be held at 6 p.m. on June 24 at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. Tickets are $10 and are on sale now at the Building Materials Thrift Store in Hailey and 24/7 Clinical Skin Spa in Ketchum. Tickets will also be sold at the door.

2009 Idaho Smart Growth Award

Sweetwater was awarded certification by the United States Green Building council for Leadership in the Energy and Environmental Design Neighborhood Development (LEED ND) pilot program. Sweetwater is one of the first 40 neighborhoods in the world to receive this sustainable certification. Sweetwater proves that smart growth can be compatible within rural communities. It restores the community fabric, combining historical elements with new and provides ample areas and features to encourage neighbors to connect and socialize. Green Strategies include treated and infiltrated 100 percent of storm water runoff onsite, ensuring recharge and quality of underlying ground water; exterior light fixtures designed to reduce light pollution and increase night sky visibility; reused surface parking by placing most parking within garages below residences, thus lessening storm water runoff, heat island effect and encouraging neighborhood walkability. http://www.epa. gov/dced/awards/sg_awards_publication_2009.htm-Planted over 1,000 tress and provided cold roof colors to reduce the heat island effect; designed development around a central park with a rich variety of greens and a series of pedestrian pathways to encourage community connections internally and to the greater area.

old strokes, vibrant colors and a whimsical interpretation of her subject matter define Lane Letourneau’s paintings. Using bright acrylics on canvas, Lane loves to paint all kinds of things. But most of all she loves to tackle animal subjects: from Idaho foxes to sub-Saharan giraffes to neon frogs. But her painting has to come second to her homework. Just 10-years-old (turning 11 in June), Lane has been painting and drawing her whole life. She started working with acrylic paints and real canvas a year ago after an art teacher introduced her to the medium. “You can do a lot of things with acrylics,” Lane enthuses. “You can mix different colors and make new ones. I love the effects you can get with the

colors and different sizes and textures of paint brushes.” As for her choice of subjects, Lane’s interest is primarily in taking what exists in nature and working it into a more abstract, conceptualized image. “Animals are fun,” said Lane. “They’re so cute and you can work to make them look really different than they are.” Lane is a rising sixth-grader at Sun Valley’s Community School. She has lived in the Wood River Valley for three years after moving here from Connecticut. When she isn’t painting (or doing homework), she figure skates competitively, skis, studies dance and helps a lot with her younger siblings. Lane will show her paintings at the Ketchum Arts Festival, July 9-11. twp

Explore the beauty of flowering plants and learn traditional botanical art techniques to create realistic plant portraits in this weeklong workshop offered by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, July 12–16. Students will work with graphite to study the variety of exciting forms, structures and textures found in live plant material. The goals are keen observation of details, accurate drawing and full tonal contrast for drawings with exciting three-dimensional form. Wednesday through Friday, students will work in watercolor to paint a simple flower arrangement or flowering plant. At the end of the week, students will have learned precise brushwork techniques such as dry brush, how to quickly and accurately match colors of plant life and the correct use of values, and will leave the class ready to embark on a challenging and fulfilling lifelong hobby. Instructor Kathie Miranda holds a Certificate in Botanical Illustration from the New York Botanical Garden, where she is an instructor in the botanical and natural science illustration programs.

T

he financial regulatory bill that Congress is working on is almost certainly needed. But the bill as it stands will make it more expensive for borrowers to get fixed rate loans, a CEO for Zions Bank told a group of investors at the Sun Valley Lodge Dining Room this past week. “It’s a bill that does almost nothing to address the problem,” said Harris Simmons, corporate CEO of Zions Bancorporation. “It’s nothing but a Christmas tree on which to hang a lot of things.” Simons, who spoke as part of Zions Community Speaker Series, said that legislation that will almost certainly be signed into law in the next few weeks will require institutions to have “living wills.” It will allow federal regulators to more closely regulate some institutions. But at the end of the day the concept of “too big to fail” will still be with us, he said. Harris said it gets his dander up when people say banks aren’t lending. Banks are lending, but qualified borrowers aren’t borrowing, he said. Companies of all sizes have more cash on balance today than any time in the last 60 years. Harris also urged those having trouble making payments on property to work with their loan officers. “Banks don’t want to foreclose on property. They almost always take a loss when they do,” he said. “It’s better to work with a borrower. My advice is to keep talking and we’ll try to meet you twp half way.”

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I've been working the same job at the same desk for ten years and I'm bored to death. I want to find another job, but to be honest, the ones I find through the online job sites or the classifieds seem just as boring. Then the other day I saw a TV program with all sorts of interesting jobs. One guy who was an accountant now makes his living as a scuba instructor on a tropical island. Another person was able to buy and keep designer clothes as a personal shopper. The best one was a personal assistant to a movie star. They got paid to hobnob with big-time actors. How can I get a job like that and how come I never see them advertised in the newspaper?

Carry: I once thought about

becoming a movie star, but it turned out I made a much better out-of-work actor! Cash: It is true that most of the jobs you mentioned won't be found in the classifieds. Although possible, it's unlikely that Tom Cruise would place an ad when he needs a new personal assistant. Most jobs like that are handled

Fast Facts Career Search

through referrals. Carry: If you're considering a career change, you should do some homework beforehand. The former accountant turned scuba instructor probably had a love of scuba diving and was active in the sport for many years before changing careers. Cash: For a drastic change like that you'll need to search out opportunities. Join an association or group that works with those types of jobs and start reading the trade magazines associated with the profession. Carry: The job as a personal shopper may sound like a lot of fun if you love shopping, but remember that it's still a job.

Personal shoppers are usually evaluating a store, the products and the personnel. They have to do paperwork, account for the money they spend and shop with specific goals in mind. Cash: Before you go look for a new job, take a look at what kind of work you enjoy and would best fit your personality. Do you like to be in an office or would you rather be outside? And would the change in career work for you financially? Carry: The classifieds can be a great place to start. It offers a variety of employers, typically within commuting distance, and may have your perfect profession. Cash: After all, the best jobs are the ones that don't seem like work.

Reader Humor A Lot to Learn

Looking for a new career? A CNNMoney.com survey rated the top 50 jobs by their average salary and growth potential over the next ten years. Topping the list was becoming a systems engineer with an expected growth rate of 45% and an average salary of $87,100. Other top choices were a physican assistant (salary of $90,900), nurse practioner (salary of $85,200), or college professor (salary of $70,400).

As the store manager for a local grocery store, I hire some high school students to come in and stock the shelves. Most of them are very competent and hard working, but this year I had one student who just couldn't get it right. He was very bright, but no matter how many times I showed him the correct procedure, he'd stock items in the wrong aisle or price them incorrectly. One morning I found him making mistakes again and went to talk with him. "I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt," I explained, "but you have to find a way to make fewer mistakes during the day." "Okay," he thought for a moment. "Maybe I should take a longer lunch!"

Perk Up

Every job has its perks. Some have a great 401k plan, but others go even further. For example, a beer company in Colorado offers its employees a case of beer per week after one year on the job. After 5 years, they offer a trip to Belgium to sample the brews that inspired the company. An insurance company in Wisconsin keeps a pond stocked with fish so their 850 employees can go fishing and keep what they catch. Some hospitals in the OhioHealth network have concierges to help its 15,200 employees. They'll pick up your dry cleaning, let your dog out or stand in line for concert tickets. •

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?
