his Saturday, July 16, Hailey’s Main Street will light up with color during their second annual Day of Chalk. All ages of artists—masters and doodlers alike—are invited to get creative and celebrate summer. The fun starts at 10 a.m. in front of Jane’s Artifacts, and lasts until 2 p.m. The registration fee to join the fun is only $5. Jane’s will supply chalk to the artists and the City of Hailey will supply the sidewalk. Frank You Very Much will also be on site to offer hotdogs, chips and drinks. This community event is presented by the Hailey Arts Commission to celebrate A Month of Art in Hailey.

usan Spelius Dunning is skipping her Masters swim classes this week—she can’t take a chance on one of her hands getting whacked by a hand paddle. Ditto for bicycling since her last bike ride resulted in a scraped arm. The Sun Valley concert pianist’s focus this week is on making her solo debut in the Sun Valley Pavilion Sunday night where she will present a potpourri of classical music, including Debussy’s Clair de Lune” and selections by Mendelssohn, Mozart, Chopin and Rachmaninoff, on her 9-foot Steinway Grand Piano. The concert, which begins at 6:30 p.m., is a benefit for the Sun Valley Artist Series winter concerts and educational outreach programs. Dunning has made the choice between athletics and piano before. At 6 feet, she is a natural athlete whose brother Chris was an Olympics kayaker. Like Chris, Dunning was a competitive swimmer who could have competed on a major level. But her swim coach insisted that she stop playing piano to focus on swimming. And her piano coach insisted that she commit to piano. She picked piano. “It touched my soul. Now I’m grateful because music has brought me so much richness. Every day I get to sit at this magnificent piano with these scores,” she said, spreading dozens of hundred-page scores across the living room floor of her Elkhorn home. “These are my friends. I get to hang out with creative geniuses on a daily basis and they fill me.” Dunning is a Chicago native who studied at the American Conservatory of Music and the University of ColoradoBoulder. She moved to Sun Valley in 1994 at the request of her then teen-aged sons who had grown up on a family tradition of vacationing in Sun Valley that started with Dunning’s parents—Bill and Carol Spelius—on their 1947 honeymoon. Movers pulled umpteen kayaks, several pairs of skis, two Steinway Grand pianos, two upright pianos, a harpsichord and an organ out of their moving van, along with hundreds of musical scores. “I love waking up with the Baroque composers—I find them less emotionally demanding and they possess a meditative quality,” said Dunning, who thinks nothing of practicing eight hours without looking at a score. “Later in the day, I tend to go with the impressionists, Mendelssohn and Chopin. At 2 in the morning you’ll find me banging away on the 97-page

Susan Spelius Dunning plays her harpsichord for fun. But Sunday night she’ll be playing the 9-foot Steinway Grand that she bought for concert pianist Misha Dichter’s performance in Sun Valley last September. Such pianos cost about $100,000, she said. Photo: KAREN BOSSICK

Tchaikovsky piano concerto.” Dunning is inspired by excellence. She watched five young singers perform at Sunday’s Sun Valley Opera concert and promptly went home and practiced into the early morning hours. “Even with an ice skater or some other athlete—I see them excel and it makes me want to go home and practice,” she said. She also is moved by the history of particular pieces. Chopin’s “Military polonaise,” which she will perform Sunday, became a symbol of patriotic defiance during the German invasion of Poland. And that knowledge fuels the emotional intensity with which she plays the piece. The last piece she will play Sunday night pays homage to Franz Liszt, whose 200th birthday anniversary is being observed this year. “He is credited with being the first solo pianist,” Dunning said. “He was a Mick Jagger of piano players--the women swooned when he played. In contrast to Chopin whose music was more intimate, Liszt’s wrote music that was big in conception with big ideas, big technique. He ushered in the Golden Era of piano playing in the late 1800s and early 1900s.” Two years ago Dunning established the Sun Valley Artist Series with Steve Gannon, a Ketchum man so passionate about classical music that he used to play classical selections on piano for his 4-year-old son to eat his Cheerios to. The series has brought such diverse groups as an Italian saxophone quartet and the St. Petersburg Quartet to Sun Valley.

getting to the concert

What: Classical Piano Concert featuring Susan Spelius Dunning When: 6:30 p.m. Sunday, preceded by pre-concert talk at 6 p.m. Where: Sun Valley Pavilion Tickets: $10 for students, $30 general admission, $100 reserved seating and $250 for patrons, including post-concert champagne reception. Tickets are available at www. svwas.org, Chapter One Bookstore and Iconoclast Books in Ketchum or by calling 208-725-5807. Proceeds benefit the Sun Valley Artist Series educational outreach programs and winter concert performances.

Dunning is bent on showing off the versatility of the piano to Sunday’s audience: “Normally the piano is heard in casual settings or as background music. I want to show it off in ways people don’t normally hear it.” Does the thought of playing in the 1,561-seat Pavilion intimidate her? Not in the least. “I played a few notes in the Pavilion when we set up the piano for Misha Dichter last year and the acoustics were so great I couldn’t wait to play there myself. Often we perform in echoing halls where it’s hard to respond to what we’re doing. But the Pavilion is like a cocoon. And the better the sound responds the more dancing I do with the piano. And the physical beauty of the Pavilion—it’s so magical.” tws

Gallegos Puts a Modern There’s still snow in them thar’ hills Twist on Family Tradition By RIAN ERVIN

C

hef Derek Gallegos of restaurant Three Ten Main in Hailey prides his restaurant on its eclectic menu. Three Ten Main provides an extensive mix of styles, including handmade pasta, both Asian and Southwestern-inspired dishes, steak, fresh oysters from the Hood Canal, and the ever popular double-layer Scharffenberger chocolate cake made from a 25-year-old recipe. Gallegos has been part of the restaurant business ever since he was thirteen when his father, James, opened the original Mama Inez restaurant in Pocatello. Working for his father, Gallegos did “a little bit of everything” in the restaurant. He began working full time in the kitchen when he was 25, and soon after obtained apprenticeships in some of the best restaurants of the west. In 1993, Gallegos found his way to the Wood River Valley and became partners with the Sun Valley Brewery. After cooking at the Brewery for 13 years, Gallegos realized he hadn’t been able to fully explore his creativity as a chef. Gallegos was at last truly inspired to open his own place when he traveled to New York City on his honeymoon with his wife, Andrea, where they “ate like royalty.” Three Ten Main is situated in an historic 100-year-old house on Main Street in Hailey. “I have customers come in and say they used to remember partying in this house back in the day; they even know where the cellar is,” laughs Gallegos. “There definitely is history in this building.” Dining at the cozy restaurant truly feels as though you’ve been invited to someone’s house for dinner. The walls are tastefully decorated with beautiful oil paintings and maps of the Pacific Northwest, and servers greet customers right at the door. Gallegos credits his dedicated customer base to the fact that his menu changes so often; food is purchased as local and organic as possible, so the menu constantly evolves with the seasons. This diverse menu, stemming from Gallegos’ own travels and family history, truly makes Three Ten Main unique. Gallegos cites his father as one of the biggest influences in his life: “Even though the restaurant he opened was specifically Mexican,” Gallegos explains, “he could really cook everything: Italian, French—you name it.” This influence is evident in the new dishes that Gallegos is constantly experimenting with. My personal favorite aspect of the restaurant is Monday nights. Every Monday, Gallegos returns to cooking his favorite comfort food, and the restaurant transforms into “Noche de Inez,” with a full Mexican menu inspired by recipes from Gallegos’ grandmother, Inez.

can truly taste the history as passion behind these simple, yet recognizable flavors of the New Mexico red chile sauce, poblano chile rellenos, and roasted green chile sauce. “I feel like we are just now hitting our stride,” Gallegos says proudly. “We’ve built up a great reputation and it is easy to get people in the door. I think it will just get better from here on out.” Gallegos has many ideas for future, including Asian take-out, a burger joint or a Mexican-inspired restaurant. For now, however, he is content to continue pursuing his talent and passion for food at Three Ten Main. Be sure to check out Three Ten Main’s menu and photo gallery at www.threetenmain.com tws

ob and Claudie Goldstein transplanted a little piece of France to the Wood River Valley when they moved here several years ago. They built a French country home inspired by their longtime home in Normandy at 261 Teal Drive, in the Starweather subdivision north of Hailey, complete with Old World timber beams and half-doors. And then Bob and his French-born wife planted French country gardens marked by signs like Le Jardin del a Maison and linked by gravel pathways and patio areas. “We planted primarily perennials since we take care of it ourselves. But we have all kinds of flowers—hollyhock, honeysuckle, roses, lavender. And it’s very pretty, very enjoyable, providing us with splashes of color all summer long,� said Bob Goldstein. “We also have a vegetable and herb garden, as well as lots of raspberry bushes, which keep us supplied with jam the whole year.� The Goldsteins’ garden will be one of seven gardens featured on the Sawtooth Botanical Garden’s 16th annual Garden Tour from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The tour will feature the Goldsteins’ Starweather garden, Ned and Cindy Hamlin’s garden in Hidden Hollow and five others in Gimlet. All have their own unique flavor. Cindy Hamlin, for instance, found just one peony, a daisy and an Oriental poppy growing under the pines in 1979 when she and her husband Ned moved to their 1947 home built by a Triumph miner who had planted the trees around the Sun Valley Lodge. She began adding her own touch the following year, building a new “room� each time she became pregnant with their three sons. Today, her two-and-a-half-acre spread at 202 Easy Street boasts a plethora of garden rooms, as well as two pond-and-waterfall features that her sons dug for her when they were 10, eight and six years old, endowing each with toads they’d caught. “I wanted a garden where kids and animals can run through to their heart’s content. And the kids love it,� she said. Hamlin’s yard—a feast for the senses—includes ostrich ferns which grew from ground level to neck high in two weeks, polygonum, Welsh poppies, Bowl of Cream peonies, an apricot tree with a Japanese accent, 50-foot evergreens she planted as seedlings and a camperdown elm—a Zone 5 plant that has done surprisingly well in the Wood River Valley’s Zone 3. Her yard also boasts several varieties of crabapples, reflecting her zest for experimentation. And there’s a living roof on the chicken coop, providing her fowl with corn, lavender and lettuce. Everything’s 100 percent organic, fertilized with llama manure she harvests from her llamas. One of the original doors to the Bald Mountain Hot Springs office adorns the potting shed

while old Galena ski trail markers hang throughout the garden. The Hamlins entertain dinner guests in a sheepwagon bought from sheepherder Cotton Riley of Richfield. And a large limestone trough given to the Hamlins by the French people during the 911 tragedy sits at another end. “Every time I walk by, I think of the French and how wonderful they were to us while we were visiting their country during 911,� Hamlin said. David and Carol Scheifele-Holmes longed to recapture some of the woodsy feel of New England when they moved to Sun Valley. And they found what they were looking for under soaring cottonwood, aspen and pine trees at 126 Deer Run—the former home of the founder of The Community School where David just took over as headmaster. A stone path bordered by Jacob’s ladder and syringa leads to the garden and a backyard sporting sculptures by Rod Kagan, Delos Van Earl and Bill Drum. The couple inherited a lot of unusual colored irises, 40-yearold peonies and antique columbines, adding to them. They recently opened up part of the lawn to the bank of the Big Wood River where they can watch the river flow amidst native wildflowers. “I’m creating a salad bar for all the animals,� laughed Scheifele-Holmes. “We had one bear that climbed sixty feet up one of the cottonwoods to munch its leaves.� Candy Burnap loves trying to stretch the envelope of highaltitude gardening by trying to grow azaleas, rhododendrons, dogwoods and red beech. All are set against an expansive lawn along the Big Wood River at 110 Wall Street that includes a sunken tennis court, croquet court, greenhouse and potting shed, a wedding gazebo used to create a raised flower and vegetable bed and even a

creek that juts off from the Big Wood River and Adirondack lawn chairs made from recycled milk cartons scattered amongst the trees. The Booths have kept their planting to a minimum, to avoid distracting from the natural environment. But they have added splashes of color with crabapple, dogwood and lilac bushes, as well as hydrangea, ferns, day lilies, peonies and other plantings. Susan Flynt has taken her talent for interior design outside the home that she and her husband Jerry share with their two children at 102 Sutton Place. The result: an expansive patio that features an “outdoor kitchen,� around which edibles are strategically planted. The yard features old gates found in Santa Fe, open windows in rock walls designed to create intrigue and a variety of art sculptures placed under and around the children’s treehouse and zipline. “It’s grown into a mature garden in five years, offering splashes of color all over,� said Susan. tws

garden patio for the caretakers. She and her husband Bart share their lawn not only with their children and grandchildren but also with deer, elk and bear, which eat the rosebuds just as fast as they come out. They tried to combat the excessive munching with ultrasound and predator urine before surrounding the area with a tall fence. Tim and Candy Johnson hold their breath every summer, waiting to see whether their 30-plus peonies and dinner-plate-sized dahlias can bloom before the first frost of late summer. The knowledge that they’re not guaranteed makes them all that more enchanting when they do bloom, said Candy. The couple has planted a neat and tidy lawn at 5 Polo Lane with flowers lining the perimeter of the yard underneath berms erected for privacy and hydrangeas lining the log home. They grow lettuce, French sorrel, tomatoes and other vegetables in raised beds inside a 6-foottall, log-and-wire fence that also encloses a greenhouse. Debbe and Spike Booth’s home at 217 Sutton Place is a picture of tranquility, with walkways in the woods, a bridge across a

briefs Trails Website ready to launch

The Sun Valley region is home to one of the most extensive summer trail networks in the United States. Both visitors and locals of the area increasingly look to these trails for their outdoor adventures. Through partnership with the Sawtooth National Forest, Bureau of Land Management and various local trail groups, the Blaine County Recreation District now seeks to meet the community’s need for real-time trails information in one Web-based trails portal scheduled to launch the week of the USA Cycling XC National Championship mountain bike races in the Sun Valley region. The BCRD Summer Trails & Pathways Portal is easily found on the main BCRD Website of bcrd.org but can also be directly located at trails.bcrd. org. The site offers a unique blend of detailed trail descriptions, a community trails blog, dynamic Google-based topographic maps, Google Earth trail “flyovers,” available trail GPS files, and extensive trail photography and video. Another valuable feature is the ability to show “trail status” both through the trail color indicated on the map and also through text on the individual trail pages. This status is updated every few days based on the trail observations reported from the various land management agencies across the Sun Valley region. A user can also experience location-based images and information for a specific part of each trail like the location of Valley sheep bands or trail obstructions or construction. The BCRD Summer Trails & Pathways Portal is made possible by a grant from the Resource Advisory Council. With the summer of 2011 in full swing and the USA Cycling XC National Championship mountain bike races coming to the Valley, the trails portal helps to celebrate our Valley’s incredible trail system while promoting a healthy stewardship of these amenities so they can flourish in the future with shared use and support. Users can share feedback or even their favorite photographs or content by emailing trails@bcrd.org. More information on the portal is also available by contacting Greg Martin at the BCRD or visiting trails.bcrd.org.

Hell Roaring Road Closure

The Sawtooth National Recreation Area would like to announce that Hell Roaring Road will be closed for one mile from the Upper Trailhead. The Upper Trailhead will be restored and re-located one mile east from its present location. The last mile of the road will be rehabbed and narrowed to a foot trail, tying in with Trail 097 on the south side of Hell Roaring Creek. Work should be completed by the end of August. The Sawtooth NRA recommends that people use the Lower Trailhead to access Hell Roaring Lake. The boundary for the Sawtooth Wilderness was surveyed in 2010 and the Upper Hell Roaring Trailhead and the last portion of the road were found to be inside the wilderness. Wilderness is managed as an area without roads and motorized use so these changes will be made in compliance of the wilderness designation. If you have questions please contact the Stanley Ranger Station at (208)-774-3000.

USA Cycling National Championships are Here By KAREN BOSSICK

S

ome 650 mountain bike racers are expected to take on Baldy today through Sunday, racing on some new features designed especially for this event. They include the Baldy Rocks flow zone across the Big Wood River, which workers have spent the last two weeks building. Also, the Baldy Bench extreme downhill section just above the River Run shop and the Climb to the Sun rock garden coming out of the River Run plaza area. Spectators can watch the racers tackle these features during the USA Cycling Mountain Bike Cross-Country National Championships—Sun Valley’s answer to the Tour de France—from the River Run plaza. The races are expected to culminate in some exciting stadium finishes. The races include the National Finals Pro XC, the National Finals Amateur XC and the National Finals Super Downhill. Some of the top contenders who will be vying for the Starsand-Stripes winners’ jerseys include Adam Craig, a 15-time national bike champion; Georgia Gould, who swept all six events on the national mountain bike series in 1007, and Ned Overend, who appeared in the world’s first mountain biking video, titled “The Great Mountain Biking Video.” Others include Heather Irmiger, Todd Wells, Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski and Ryan Trebon, said Sun Valley Chamber Director Greg Randolph, himself a member of the U.S. Olympic road cycling team at the 1996 Olympics. Age categories range from 15to 18-year-olds to those 70 and older, who have all qualified for nationals at other racers. Riders will practice today and Thursday with Amateur XC races held at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Thursday. Cross-country races get under way in earnest on Friday beginning at 9 a.m. and continuing through 5 p.m. They start up again at 7:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, continuing until 5 p.m. The National Championship Cross-country for female pros starts at 12:30 pm. Saturday followed by the men’s at 3 p.m. The National Championship STXC for female pros starts at 3:15 p.m. Sunday followed by the men’s at 4 p.m. The top race, according to organizers, is the 2011 Super Downhill Course, a 10-kilometer time-trial start which launches from the historic Roundhouse Restaurant, following one of the fastest, flowing downhill rides ever conceived.

So much to do!

There also will be fast, flat circuit short-track cross country races, which wind around River Run Lodge across the bike path up to the parking lot. “The whole week is going to be really exciting and it will bring a lot of people who have never ridden Sun Valley’s trails before,” said Jim Keating, who heads up the Blaine County Recreation District. “It celebrates the trail system and the biking culture that this valley offers.” Sun Valley last hosted the national mountain bike championships in 1988. Then, the races were held on 6,600-foot Dollar Mountain, rather than 9,100-foot Bald Mountain. And, at times, smoke from the Yellowstone fires was so bad that spectators couldn’t see bikers racing down Dollar Mountain until they were about a hundred yards from the bottom—often pitching over their handlebars at that point. Mountain biking has been on the rise since then with the number of mountain bike riders licensed by USA Cycling growing by 10 percent between the 2009 and 2010 seasons, said Steve Johnson, the chief executive officer of USA Cycling. Johnson added that Sun Valley’s spectator-friendly courses with their thrilling stadium finish and top-notch trails are perfectly designed for an event like this. “In our search for the perfect location to hold this year’s National Championships, USA Cycling looked for world-class trails, a strong mountain biking community and an experienced organizing team,” he said. “We’re confident we found just what we were looking for in Sun Valley Resort, nestled in the beautiful mountains of Central Idaho.” The races will create some disruptions for hikers and recreational mountain bikers on Baldy. The River Run Trail and the River Run service road will be closed to traffic until noon Sunday. The Bald Mountain Trail will be closed periodically during the week and signs will be posted indicating bypass locations. The Warm Springs Traverse Trail will also be closed from Flying Squirrel to River Run with hiker access allowed to River Run via the Bald Mountain Trail.

briefs Commission on the Arts funds Trailing

The Idaho Commission on the Arts has announced a grant in the amount of $5,023 to support the 15th annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival. The award is made possible by the Idaho State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). The NEA’s funding was reduced this year although the support of Idaho legislators was strong. Overall, funding for the Arts faces challenging times. Leaders at the ICA ask that everyone who appreciates the arts and the importance it has on the quality of life in our communities to let Idaho’s legislators and its Congressional delegation hear from you. “We need to let our legislators and Congressional delegates know how important their support is to each and every one of us and to our communities as a whole,� said Dick Springs, President of the Trailing of the Sheep Cultural Heritage Center. “We are so pleased with the Idaho Commission on the Arts continued support,� said Mary Austin Crofts, Executive Director. “We have an extraordinary celebration planned this year, and their support makes a big difference!� The 15th annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival will be held this year Friday Oct. 7 through Sunday, Oct. 9 in the Wood River Valley of Idaho. MSN Travel honored the Festival as One of the Top Ten Fall Festivals in the World. For more info or a complete schedule of events, visit, www.trailingofthesheep.org

Valley Youth to Attend 7th Annual GRAMMY Camp

Wood River High School junior William Ashfield just left for Southern California to attend a nine-day music camp in conjunction with the GRAMMY Foundation, thanks to a $2,000 scholarship awarded by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. “I applied to GRAMMY Camp because I wanted to learn from top figures in the music industry and knew I could use the knowledge to shape a career in the music business down the road,� said Ashfield. “Music has always William Ashfield been a big picture in my life, and being accepted to this camp will be a huge opportunity to meet some really important people as well as expand my musical horizons.� The GRAMMY Foundation’s signature music industry camp for U.S. high school students will be held at the University of Southern California Thorton School of Music. “Our GRAMMY Camps offer young people highly interactive settings created by “GRAMMY-winning artists and industry professions where they can explore a range of careers in the music industry, said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of the Recording Academy and the GRAMMY Foundation. Past teaching artists include David Foster, Jimmy Jam, Colbie Caillat, Dave Koz, Hans Zimmer, and Steve Vai. “I can’t wait to bring back what I learn to the Wood River Valley,� Ashfield added.

British Invasion happens Monday By KAREN BOSSICK

T

wo British bands with “a huge following� in the United Kingdom are poised to take the stage in what’s being billed as the Great British Invasion. The concert featuring Thunder, The Union and special guest star Marina V—a Russian songbird whose new song, “I Never Knew,� premiered on NBC’s “Days of Our Lives� on Monday—will start at 5 p.m. Tickets start at $29, with discounts offered for current and veteran military personnel and mountain bike racers competing in the USA Cycling Mountain Bike Cross-Country National Championships being held through Sunday in Sun Valley. “The bands have a huge following in the United Kingdom playing classic rock of the 1980s and 90s,� said Jason Fry, who helped organize the concert with Sun Valley. “Thunder has produced 10 albums and this is the first time they’ve played since 2009. So we have people coming from the United Kingdom to this concert because this will be their first chance in two years to see them live.� Daryl Clark, a financial manager with a niche managing classic rock stars’ portfolios, initiated the concert.

a motorcycle charity ride from Cranbrook, B.C., to Ketchum after he fell in love with Sun Valley. Clark has done similar fundraising rides in places like Cuba and Egypt. The Hands Across the Water Fundraiser began Sunday in Cranbrook, B.C., where motorcyclists riding Harley-Davidsons began a ride that will take them through British Columbia, Alberta, Montana and Idaho before roaring into Sun Valley on Saturday. Many of the participants are high-ranking British diplomats and military personnel, Fry said. Among them, Sgt. Andy McNab, a former Special Air Service operative who published a bestseller “Bravo Two Zero� detailing his patrol’s failed mission to destroy the communication links between Baghdad and northwest Iraq. Three of the eight men were killed and four, including McNab, were captured. Proceeds from the ride will benefit the United Kingdom’s Childline, a crisis call center for at-risk kids, and Force Select, which benefit wounded British veterans. Sun Valley Resort has agreed to donate its concert proceeds to Sun Valley Adaptive Sports’ Higher Ground Program, which serves wounded military personnel.

G-O-O-O-O-AL!! By BALI SZABO

O

nce again, American women athletes distinguished themselves on the world stage. Twelve years ago to the day, in 1999, the U.S. women’s soccer team won the World Cup in dramatic fashion, defeating China 2-1 on Mia Hamm’s penalty kick. The world, and a packed house of 90,000, got to see Brandy Chastain’s sports bra. Last Sunday, in what is fast becoming one of the greatest matches in World Cup history, one of the greatest comebacks and the most improbable victory for any team, the U.S. women’s soccer squad snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, as it bested the skilled and favored

Brazil 3-2 on penalty kicks. It should never have come down to that! Everything was against them: the refs, the score, playing one player short for over 55 minutes, and the clock. The seconds were ticking away when, in the 122nd minute (death time), little blond sparkplug Megan Rapinoe lofted a perfect ball into the box to Abby Wambach, who sent the perfect header between the goalie’s hands into the net. That equalizer was the latest a goal was scored in World Cup history. It came down to penalty kicks. The scorer, and goalie Hope Solo, were a perfect 5 for 5. Mighty Brazil missed one. The U.S. won 5-3. It was a miracle finish, and the women live to play another match in the semifinals on tws Wednesday, July 13.

Hailey Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the winners of the 2011 Fourth of July Parade. First place went to 5B Crossfit, second place to the Red Hat Society and third to the Upper Big Wood River Grange. The parade was well attended with thousands of spectators sitting and standing all along the route. “The judges, representing the Blaine County Senior Connection, Leslie and Terrence Sheehan and Carol Field, had a great time judging the entries,” said Hailey Chamber Executive Director Heather LaMonica Deckard. “The Hailey Chamber of Commerce extends thanks and congratulations to all our sponsors and participants for creating another successful July Fourth Parade,” she said. The Hailey Chamber would also like to thank the 25th Army Band from Boise, which contributed to making this Independence Day celebration a special and spirited event with their performances during the holiday weekend.

The Habitat is a Living Calendar By BALI SZABO

L

ife is built with moments, like a hike is with strides. The beauty of the wind in the garden—it comes alive with song as it Bali Szabo rushes through the tall wild ryes, the willows, the quakies, the plums and the elderberries. Wind, like music, moves the mind. Newborn butterflies dance in pairs, darting madly to and fro in this profusion of color, in this restless wonderland of a world. A fat rufous hummingbird darts to the columbines, and then pulls up to the feeder, its broad, gold platelet necklace ablaze in the afternoon sun. Like so much here, it reminds me of royalty. Nature crowns us all. Drifts of blue flax dance in the breezes like the ripples and swells of a tropical sea. There’s a riot of color from the daisies, the lupine, the crimson poppies, the pink geraniums, the penstemon, the mustards, the grasses, all about the same height. The wind stirs the crowd and reminds me why I like meadows, the one crowd I can trust. Human crowds have gasoline in their veins, and ignite too often. The showy wealth of bi-colored irises, the royalty of their purple satin falkls rub elbows with the commoners like the penstemon and the oxeye daisy. Many wild plants are only here for a cup of coffee. Like a valued guest, I wish they’d stay longer, but their internal clock says otherwise.

Columbia or Tiger Lily PHOTO & STORY By KAREN BOSSICK

Goodbye.

Photo: bali szabo/sun

Like my star lily, a small silver and white charmer, it sprints to sprout, buds, blossoms for a week and then it disappears, its bare stems lost in the profusion. They fear the arid heat’s wrath, the coming ‘brown-up,’ so they rush to seed amid summer’s languid leisure. In a garden like this, when things arise, alone or in waves, from April through September, the space becomes a living calendar. Each species has its appointed time, and each is a marked holiday that calls for a celebration, be it a lone lily or a costumed parade of Mardi Gras. Gardens are egalitarian. Everyone gets their place in the sun, a seat at the table. We have a lot to learn from that. In the first week of July, the Habitat’s prominent colors are red, white and blue,

in keeping with a time, a place. Hailey’s wonderful Fourth of July parade is my metaphor for the march of blooms across time. While I wait for the next wave of blooms, like a surfer (the royal entourage of roses, lilies, peonies and clematis), I wander among the crowd like the birds, bees and butterflies, stealing cherished, precious moments with the trusty old Nikon, grabbing portraits and poses in the perfect, natural in situ lighting only the sun can provide. The bulbs are gone, and life continues to unfurl. The wealth of its jewel box is ours to tap; we just have to see it and do it, like a bee. tws

T

he Columbia Lily is also sometimes referred to as the Tiger Lily because of its six orange tepals spotted with red. It is one of nature’s more stunning flowers in the Western United States and Canada. You can find it in early summer in open spots in coniferous woods at low to moderately high elevations levels, such as that around the lily pond at the end of Redfish Lake. The flower can grow more than 3 and one-half feet tall. Its leaves are arranged in circular patterns around the stem of the plant. Native Americans used its peppery-tasting bulbs for food. But picking is discouraged as it impairs the ability of the plant to reproduce. tws

Relay Honors Survivors Photo & Story By RIAN ERVIN

B

eginning in 1995 with only seven relay teams, 90 participants and 20 survivors, Relay for Life of Blaine County has grown significantly, and this year the event boasts 16 relay teams, 250 participants and 75 survivors. Many months of planning, organization and fundraising go into this event and, as the role of survivor chairperson, it is the job of volunteer Sandy Kelly to contact and reach out to cancer survivors in the county. “This year, more survivors have shown interest in being involved in the fund-raising and planning of the event,� Kelly says proudly. Kelly first participated in Relay for Life in 1997 on the POWER Engineers team in order to be a part of the community event while getting in some exercise after having triplets. Ever since that year, Kelly and her children have continued to be involved. The Relay for Life committee is in charge of team recruitment, food, entertainment and accounting as well as organizing the logistics of the event. The committee is made up of 10 volunteers and one representative from the American Cancer Society (ACS). When survivors give their contact information, year of diagnosis and type of cancer, the ACS is able to collect and use this information for research and outreach programs. The database of the Wood River Valley includes 185 local survivors. Kelly urges local survivors to “register for the Relay (donations are not necessary) and come out to the event for an evening of good cheer.� Events this year begin at 6 p.m. Friday, July 22, and continue until 8 a.m. Saturday, July 23. Highlight events

The Luminaria ceremony honors survivors and all those with cancer with the lighting of candles and a moment of silence.

include: a survivor reception sponsored by KB’s Burritos, La Costa and Atkinsons’ Market, the opening ceremony featuring guest speaker Gary St. George, retired Bellevue and Woodside elementary school principal and recent cancer survivor, and the Luminaria ceremony, the lighting of candles in decorated bags to honor survivors and remember all those with cancer. “It is inevitable that there will be celebration and the sound of laughter, as well as the silence of tears during the evening,â€? Kelly says. Relay for Life is in 10 days, and it is not too late to get involved! Participants can form a relay team, walk on their own in small groups, or simply come and take part in events, lending their care, support and encouragement. “Each participant at the Relay has a unique reason to be involved‌ to honor a friend who is in treatment, to remember a brother or mother who passed from cancer, to celebrate a loved one who survived, or to fight back against cancer to save our next generation,â€? Kelly wisely observes. This is a great event, which truly brings together the community in support of one another. Survivors and residents are encouraged to register and attend Relay for Life by visiting www.blainecountyrelay.org tws

Reflections on Writing By JIMA RICE

W

riting columns for this paper, and for Jigsaw’s Weekly News & Views for Business Success, has provided me with an Jima Rice unanticipated educational journey. The required research, thinking, and discussion has deepened and broadened my knowledge of democracy, bureaucracy, economics, politics, human behavior, and history. I have also gained a gut-level certainty about what I know and believe, enough to feel I should offer my views; they may not agree with yours, but they are well-considered. While I want others to find what I write interesting, more than anything I would like to open peoples’ eyes to situations that were previously unknown, disbelieved, or only superficially understood. In this Valley where adventures abound, writing has proved to be its own kind of adventure. That the Valley had two local papers when I moved here in 1994 was impressive (the Wood River Journal and the Idaho Mountain Express) but, true to form, I rarely read them. The New York Times had been the only daily newspaper I’d ever consistently read. Familiarity with it (having grown up in New York City), thorough research, reliable reporting, international coverage, and great human interest stories were always

offered in one elegant package. Other papers had too many pictures and shallow reporting, sensationalized stories, or simply sported poor writing. But more than anything, I didn’t read the local papers because I had no interest whatsoever in the Wood River Valley’s politics. How could such a small, rural area even have what I knew to be “politics?� Of course, I was naive. And as the Valley’s wealth, population, and sophistication grew through the ’90s and into the new millennium, the competence and quality of government leaders became ever more important. Land development, social stratification, and the power of money came to dominate here as much as any other privileged area in the U.S. The Valley’s economy was also more vulnerable than many other areas, being a one-company town in which Sun Valley Company was the top dog wagging the Valley as its tail. When the national economy was hit by attacks on the World Trade Center, declining air travel, and rising gas prices, we felt it locally. Then came forest fires to chase away what tourists we did have. Finally, the long-term effects of persistently inadequate branding and marketing of our area and the vulnerability of relying simply on a tourist economy became apparent. The stakes for serving well as an elected official became higher; politics became more complicated. We needed people with skills in city planning, organization management, economic development, strategic

thinking, and public finance, not easily found in a rural, insulated mountain area. Those who have offered to serve in an elected capacity deserve credit for putting themselves forward, even lacking sophisticated skills; at the very least, they have provided our Valley the form and possibility of democratic government. What is also needed from our elected officials, however, is a willingness to learn, to investigate, and to listen and act according to what the electorate wants and needs, rather than favoring special interests. Humility and accurate knowledge of one’s strengths and weaknesses would also be nice. Perhaps our elected officials should take up writing columns! To complete the equation, however, we also need an active, informed electorate that pays attention and thinks its way through complicated problems. Honest, in-depth journalism can help with this. Having enjoyed the past 2.5 years writing for The Weekly SUN, I’m taking a leave now in order to develop the Wood River TimeExchange (which has attracted a lot of interest) and pursue other writing projects. As things unfold, I may be back. Meanwhile, thanks for all your support, reactions of whatever nature, and compliments. You are a great audience! tws

Bright New History made right before your eyes Bumping of Future: LEDs the Boss

L

ED lightbulbs offer vast improvements over compact fluorescents (and CFLs were such an improvement over incandescent bulbs!). Happily, LED bulbs have no mercury, are instantly “on� (no pale warmup period), glow with a warm white color, are actually bright enough for reading, last a very long time, and use less energy than CFLs. What’s not to like? Well, the cost, but prices are falling already and in a few years will be equivalent to CFLs today. If you’d like to dabble in LEDs now, here are recommendations. For the bulb with the lowest price and best energy savings, go with Lowe’s brand FEIT. The FEIT BPA19 is a 40-watt equivalent, now around $17, that offers directional light (best in reading lamp or torch-style lamp). Estimated life is 25000 hours. Alternatively, for the very best quality bulb, go directly to GE’s 9-watt Energy Smart LED, the first LED with a 10 -year warranty and the prestigious Energy Star rating. This bulb will replace any 40- (maybe 60-) watt bulb, is touted at 22 years’ use, and is omnidirectional. It’s currently $35 (down from $50 at introduction last year), but for bulb changes that require the really tall ladder, the price is a bargain. Got a question or want to draft your own ERCbeat?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you don’t know how to communicate with others, working and/or creating with them will be a joyless process. So you commit to learning about the various people you’ll deal with this week. It will take a conscious effort, and probably more time than you anticipated, to establish a rapport, but you’ll get there. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You enjoy a superb reputation for doing what you do well, and yet you don’t always accept the praise you’re given. Stop trying to deflect attention or spread around the credit that rightly belongs to you. Show your confidence now, or you’ll likely receive fewer opportunities and less money than you deserve. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Being in love with another person does not resolve all problems and create earthly nirvana. Maybe there is some way that it could, but given the current complexities of life, that way hasn’t presented itself yet. This week you’ll be accepting the reality of a relationship and working out a few practical solutions. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Group dynamics are tricky. Fun and productivity sometimes go hand-in-hand, but not always. You could laugh and have a good

time while nothing gets done. Or you could be overly serious and amazingly prolific. Your best bet is to make sure you and the others have a common goal and everyone keeps it in mind. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll experience many emotions this week. Feelings of jealousy or envy could arise. These states of mind are caused by low self-esteem, which occurs from time to time in any normal human being. If you feel a little insecure, do something to help you get back to your usual confident self-assurance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Maybe you need more help or just a different perspective. It’s time to concern yourself with your own fun. When you try too hard to make sure everyone is happy, you rip yourself off. Plus, you make it hard for others to relax, because they feel their fun comes at the expense of yours. It doesn’t have to. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You spend so much of your time working to keep everything going smoothly for the people around you. Remember to stop and ask yourself where you fit into the picture. Check in to see how you feel, and gauge your happiness with all that’s going on. Make sure you’re still excited

Fishing R epoRt

The “Weekly� Fishing RepoRT FoR JUly 13, 2011 By: Jim sanTa

hile it’s really a bit premature to be giving any glowing reports about the Big Wood we’re at least seeing the water level drop steadily now and it is clearing especially upstream of Trail Creek which is quite high and off color. As the water flows drop down around 1000 c.f.s. and below we’ll begin to find some fishable water. Don’t get me wrong, it’ll still be challenging to find much fishable water and some bushwhacking and exploration will likely be necessary until we have half of this water level. At least we’re headed in the right direction. Warm Springs Creek could be a good option as it is typically the first of our local streams to clear up. Big bushy dry flies with a bead head nymph trailer will do fine if you find the right water. As a reminder, DO NOT underestimate the power of the rivers right now, as they clear this can be deceiving. Silver Creek as always is a good option albeit more technical fishing. As we’ve been waiting for some of our other streams to become fishable the creek has been getting some pressure and the fish are getting a bit more selective. Morning hatches have been a bit sporadic the last few days and the late evenings have provided some of the better fishing. In the mornings we could expect to see any combination of pmd’s, baetis and trico hatching. The evening keys have been the pmd spinner fall and a mix of caddis. Baetis are also likely be present in the evenings. The upper reaches of the Big Lost tributaries around Copper Basin will begin to fish soon as-well. In summary, the options are beginning to open up and we’ll have some excellent fishing just around the corner. Be safe and enjoy your time on the water.

The bike race was grueling, but Otto and Berg eventually reach the Finnish line.

about this life you’ve built. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll try what is new, and this makes you creative. It may be scary for you to approach the unknown and ask questions, but you realize you have to start somewhere. Sometimes you’ll be welcomed, and other times you’ll have to work harder for acceptance and approval, but you’ll always get it in the end. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll easily get in synch with those around you. You physically match the pacing and movements of others, and they relax and open up to you. You will learn as you listen to stories and instruction. You’ll also bear witness to and be an important part of some amazing teamwork. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You like to have company, but not all of the time. You prefer to be alone for long stretches so that you can concentrate totally on what you need to accomplish. You’ll have this luxury more than usual this week. Your solo work will be satisfying, as well as enlightening and productive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have many insights to impart this week. Be careful not to interrupt those around you who may be moving at a much slower pace. If you are patient enough to hear people out, you’ll acquire interesting knowledge. And your opportunities will grow with every new fact you learn. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have certain habits that are so much a part of your everyday life that you don’t even think of them as behaviors anymore. Rather, they are just what you do when you are “doing you.� But you’re changing this week, and you could decide that a certain habit is unnecessary or even destructive and do away with it. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You’ll attract attention because of your knowledge, your physical appearance or just because you enjoy being in the spotlight. It will feel great to be recognized and applauded in the next six weeks. A relationship grows closer, and you’ll have an adventure with a loved one in August. September brings a new chapter in your family life. October brings a creative breakthrough. Changes in the way you handle your finances will allow you to do something you’ve wanted to do for a long time. tws

Jon rated this movie

By JONATHAN KANE

I

t’s hard to believe but Hollywood has actually delivered a laugh-out-loud comedy this summer. After the disappointment of The Hangover II, the new movie Horrible Bosses finally delivers the goods. And it’s no accident because at its heart is a great script that attracted some very impressive A-list talent to the project. But be warned – this one is not for the little kiddies. Hearing Jennifer Aniston spew some of the dirtiest sex talk imaginable will certainly shock her Friends fans. But that is also part of the picture’s charm and wit, which it has in abundance. The story finds three friends, played by the always impressive Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, who are tortured by their bosses who have all the power and exercise it indiscriminately. The bosses couldn’t be cast better and are played by Kevin Spacey, a coked out and unrecognizable Colin Farrell (sporting an absurd comb-over) and the sex-crazed Aniston. After a night of drinking, the three guys decide that the way to solve their problems is to kill their tormentors and they hatch a terrible plan to hire a hit man. Enter Jamie Foxx in a great cameo as the man with a plan and the adventure is off and running. I don’t want to give away too much but there is a hysterical scene involving what looks to be a pound of cocaine and some super hot action from Aniston. What makes the comedy so unique is that, different from all the others, the script doesn’t feel thrown together and clichÊ and the last act does not unravel into a terrible mess and disappointment. A lot of the credit belongs to the director, Seth Gordon, who handles the comedy expertly. Credit also goes to the incredible cast that makes this such an entertaining way to spend an evening at the movies. tws

e’ve all heard the adage, “Good things come to those who wait.” And while this might be true when you’re talking about ketchup or the stock market, for other things, there is no time like the present. A prime example of this is long-term care. If you’re like most people, you’ve heard of long-term care, and you might have even thought about what you would do if you needed to spend time in a facility or receive care at home. But if you’ve just thought about it and haven’t actually developed a plan to fund a possible long-term care need, you could find yourself facing costly expenses and a situation over which you may have little control. So, what are your options? Many people think the government will take care of them but, unfortunately, that isn’t the case. In fact, Congress has tightened the financial requirements to qualify for Medicaid, the stateand federally-funded program for those who live at or below the poverty level. And Medicare is designed to cover acute illnesses like hospital stays and doctors’ visits, not long-term care. And, the government recently rolled out a nationwide long-term care awareness program called “Own Your Future” which encourages people to better understand and plan for long-term care. It’s clear that the average person will be responsible for covering long-term care expenses privately. But, according to a 2010 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, the national average cost of a private nursing home stay was $206 per day, or over $75,000 annually. Moreover, in Idaho, the state average is $77,000 annually for a private nursing home. Coming up with

that kind of money, on top of other daily expenses, could prove difficult for many people. Enter long-term care insurance policies. Long-term care insurance is designed to pay a daily or monthly reimbursement or cash benefit when you need long-term care services. Each plan has different bells and whistles, but they do have several similar characteristics. One of the most important is that the older you are, the higher your premiums will be, and the more difficult it could be to qualify for coverage. A policy that is affordable in your 50s will be more costly if you wait until you are in your 70s. In addition, if your health deteriorates, you might not qualify for coverage at all. You also need to consider where you want to receive care. Many policies will cover care received at home, in a nursing home or in an assisted living facility. By looking at a comprehensive policy that offers coverage for several different types of care, you are ensuring control over your future choice of how care services will be provided. With so many variables in each plan and so many plans available, it’s nearly impossible to make an educated choice without seeking the advice of a qualified expert. What is clear is that the need for long-term care is real, and it could potentially threaten your other retirement plans. By acting now, you will be better equipped to decide how to handle the possibility of a future long-term care need. tws

Erica Evans: An artist’s eye By JONATHAN KANE

R

ecent Wood River High School graduate Erica Evans has devoted much of her life to the arts. “It’s just always been a part of my life and it really defines who I am,” she said. Born in Kirkland, Wash., Evans moved to the Wood River Valley at the age of one because her father wanted to be a ski instructor. Along the way she attended Bellevue Elementary, Hailey Elementary, Wood River Middle School and then the high school. Today, she works at The Toy Store in Ketchum before she embarks on an incredible college experience that will take her around the globe. “I really loved growing up here and having the ability to hike and enjoy the outdoors. I’m also very excited to leave but I can always come back. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming here and even though everyone knows everything about you, it can be a good thing. Of course, that can also be the downside, and also that it’s very small here.” Evans’ pursuit of art has been a constant her whole life, beginning when her mother introduced her to the arts as a small child. “I would draw all the time and basically draw what little girls like to draw. Today, my main interests are working in modern surrealism, which employs a lot of unconventional techniques. I really started to get into art my freshman year when I started doing ceramics. I really liked it but eventually ran out of things to do and moved into studio art, which I like more. Painting is unlimited as to what you can do. My sophomore year I began to work with acrylic paints on canvas. Acrylic paint is a plastic-based material as opposed to water- and oil-based paints. My art teacher suggested that I try it out and I loved it. I did more and more and found out different ways to use it. With water-based paints, you have to

do layers and layers to achieve the texture that you want and I just didn’t like it. Acrylics are already thick, so you don’t have to waste the time to get the texture that you want. I like modern surrealism because painting landscapes and portraits are just not my thing. I’ve tried every form and this just clicked for me. Van Gogh and Andy Warhol are big influences for me. Warhol’s work was very simple but it made a big statement. Painting in general is a big stress reliever for me and really clears my mind. I want to pursue it but I’m not quite sure how I will. A career would be fantastic but I will continue to pursue it in some form or other.” Next year Evans’ life will really get exciting when she attends the Global College of Long Island University, which has several campuses around the world. The program allows students the chance to study at a different campus every year. “I was blown away when I heard about the program. It just seemed so perfect. I love to travel and could do it the rest of my life because you are always discovering new things and it takes you out of your comfort zone. It is also amazing to explore and discover different cultures.” Her journey will begin in Costa Rica, and then it’s off to India, Australia and then China. “I’m really excited but nervous. I don’t know what to expect and the languages will be a challenge. When I go, I’ll be creating my own curriculum and choose what interests me about each country. A great deal of our work will be in the field with hands-on experience. I will receive a B.A. in international studies and I want to concentrate on the medical field. I went to a medical conference two years ago and studied every aspect of the profession. I really want to help people in a one on one experience and add whatever I can to the world.” tws

Bellevue Library Garden Tour next Friday We, as Wood River Valley residents, are very fortunate to have three public libraries available to us, in addition to several excellent school libraries during the school year. However, there is always room for improvement and expansion of resources. Our local Bellevue Library is in need of updated audio/visual materials as well as funding for children’s literacy programming. A small group of Bellevue residents have come together to form the “Friends of the Bellevue Library” non-profit with the Bellevue Garden Tour as their first fundraiser. Bellevue’s local, award-winning librarian, Patty Gilman does an amazing job promoting early literacy by visiting and bringing the joy of reading to preschool and grade school children in the south valley. The Friends hope to raise money to keep her going. The tour will consist of eight unique labors of love, as we like to refer to our gardens in Bellevue. Some of the gardens are new while others have been established for more than 10 years.

The tour begins at the visually stunning Branching Out Nursery on Main St., and concludes at the Green Antelope Gallery on 2nd Street. A map and brochure describing each garden will be available at the beginning of the tour. There will be a champagne and cupcake reception following the tour. The raffle will take place at the gallery at 8 p.m. You need not be present to win. The Friends of the Bellevue Library invite everyone to come enjoy the wonderful gardens in Bellevue from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday, July 22. After the tour, participants can stay for dinner at Mahoney’s where they will receive a 10% discount (with your ticket stub), then relax at the park for a free movie, where “The Secret Garden” will be showing. The first 50 participants will get a special surprise at the conclusion of the tour. Garden tour tickets are available at Isadora, Oak St. Cafe, Sun Valley Garden Center, Branching Out Nursery and the Bellevue Public Library. Don’t miss it!!

ellevue’s BuckSnort Root Beer was highlighted in an article on farmer’s markets that appeared in a recent issue of “Sunset Magazine.” The article singled the Bellevue birch tea made in Bellevue out in a segment focusing on the Boise Farmers Market, talking about how this blend of molasses, wintergreen, licorice and sassafras extract was served up in mason mugs. “A soda that’s actually good for you,” it said. You don’t have to go all the way to Boise to find it. Just look for it at the Wood River Farmers’ Markets held Tuesday afternoon in Ketchum and Thursday afternoons in Hailey. The iconic beverage is brewed by Kainoa Lopez who decided to put his old home brewing equipment to good use. He titled the new brew after a childhood

A VISITOR’S TALE By LULU Y. HEALEY

‘I

da-hoo?’ they all say. Where is Idaho, anyway? I tell them it’s just under Montana and on top of Wyoming and that the capital is Boise. I tell them that if they lie on my grandma’s lawn at eight o’clock at night in the summer, they’ll see the most beautiful sunset they’ve ever seen, with rosy pinks and Clementine oranges and crimson reds that melt into a jet-black night sky with sparkling stars. ‘Oh,’ they say. Not an interested ‘Ohhh,’ but a slightly bored one, ‘Oh.’ Of course, I can’t hope to make them understand. Because lying there, surrounded by nature, watching the leaves dance and listening to the dogs barking like werewolves at the big silver moon high up in the sky, is the only way to really understand. When I don’t go to Japan or stay in New York for the summer, I go to Idaho. My dad’s family is there: his mom, his sister, his grandma and all his uncles and aunts and cousins and friends. They all live in either Bellevue or Hailey, two

little towns right next to each other—really two little specks on the vast countryside—except my aunt, who lives in Boise with “Hailey,� her little Jack Russell terrier. To me, Idaho is the cold aisles of Atkinsons’ Market, which are like a giant freezer, and family barbecues in Grandma’s backyard. It is the sound of the Big Wood River flowing over the jagged rocks that scrape my legs when I swim in the shallow water, and the slimy fish swimming in the deep end. It is the blue sky filled with clouds that seem to erupt from the mountains, and the hot sun that burns my shoulders. It is the daily walks to the post office and library and playing in the water with all the dogs. And even when I am all the way back in New York City, a world away, it seems, from the quiet that is only disturbed by the sound of the river flowing by, I know that in Idaho they see the same stars. Only brighter than the way they look from here. tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, My kids are in love with my father-in-law's new car because it came with windshield wipers on the headlights. He made up a story that he pays a Smurf to live inside the car and turn the wipers on and off when it starts raining. As far as I'm concerned, a home for Papa Smurf might be those wipers only real function. It seems like an awfully silly feature. Could headlight wipers really improve our safety or is it just another gimmick?

• • •

Cash: It's actually a little bit of

both, depending on how you look at it. Carry: However, it is nice of your father-in-law to keep the Smurfs employed. There aren't many job opportunities out there for Smurfs. Cash: Over time, your headlights can collect road dust and dirt, diminishing the amount of light illuminating from the car, especially in the wintertime. I tend to like the idea of just pressing a button to turn on the headlight wipers and to clean the lights while still driving. Carry: Although, a paper towel at the gas station can accomplish

the same thing. I, on the other hand, agree with our reader. The option is just plain silly. Today's cars, although more reliable than ever, are complicated enough. Headlight wipers with separate motors for each headlight and a pump for washer fluid is just one more thing to maintain. A paper towel at the gas station doesn't need replacement parts. Cash: As you can see, even we have differing opinions on the feature. Carry: Saab was the first to introduce the headlight wiper in the early 1970's. Their goal was to make sure headlights were capable of illuminating the road with the maximum amount of light. It

was such an innovative idea that Sweden, where Saab originated, made it mandatory on all cars sold in the country. Cash: Today, other automotive manufacturers around the world have added the feature to some of their high-end models. Carry: So as you can see, headlight wipers could be considered both a gimmick and a safety feature. But the concept of cleaning your headlights is an important safety issue. Next time you stop to fill up your gas tank, take a minute to wipe the dirt off your headlights. Cash: Otherwise, you can always employ a Smurf with a bottle of window cleaner!

Many of the car components we regard as necessities started as options. Headlights originated in the late 1880's as optional detachable oil lamps fitted with reflectors and a handle. They were used to light the road and also detached to fix flats. As night driving became commonplace, oil lamps were replaced with acetylene (gas) headlamps that didn't blow out as easily. By 1898, electric head and tail lamps were introduced, and gasoline buggies were outfitted with the first car battery.

Blue Light Special

What's that blue light in your rear view mirror? No it's not the cops. It's the new Xenon headlight. Now becoming standard on some cars, these lights provide more than twice the illumination than their halogen counterparts. However, they do come at a price. The new lights can cost up to $800, making them a popular theft item on some models. Since their introduction, carmakers have redesigned their installation to make them tougher to steal. •

Reader Humor Touchy Situation

In my state it's mandatory that your car be inspected every year and a new inspection sticker be placed on the windshield. So last time I was at the dealer for routine maintenance, I noticed my sticker was about to expire. I asked the mechanic if he could do the inspection process and update the sticker. Complying with my request, he told me to sit in the driver's seat and follow his commands. "Put on the emergency flasher," he shouted. "Great. Hit the brakes," he replied. "Now turn on your headlights." But I was a little perplexed when he yelled, "Good. Now flash me your high beams."

518 raves If the WR Valley’s many verry talented dancers here have missed any of the previous six episodes of the current (Season 8) of “So You Think You Can Dance”, log onto to http://www. fox.com asap and see what you’ve missed so far -- which is A LOT of GREAT, btw ... especially that very

first 90-mins “auditions” episode (Atlanta, NYC, San Francisco, etc), which was absolutely jaw-dropping! VOTE for your musical faves at http://www.youtube.com/agt on or before Friday, July 8th!! My votes are going to Sheryll Mae Grace, and Joshiah Venter. The BBC’s “Outnumbered” series (Saturdays, 9:30 p.m., channel 10 ) is arguably the FUNNIEST show on TV right now; haven’t seen an episode of it yet where I literally didn’t have tears in my eyes by the end of it (from laughing SO hard! LOL) Viewers who still have verrrry fond memories of seeing 10-year-old opera singing sensation Jackie Evancho debuting on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” ( http://www.nbc.com/ agt ) in 2010 undoubtedly had an extremely exciting sense of deja vu recently, seeing 42-year-old opera singing sensation, Cindy Chase, similarly wowing viewers!! Definitely a force to be reckoned with, and almost-certainly destined to be a finalist on that stellar show -- if not this season’s stand-out winner! Elated to see the extremely-gifted Javier Colon ( http://www.facebook. com/javiercolonmusic / http://www. javiercolon.com ) win NBC’s “The Voice” talent show recently — which, btw, is currently casting contestants for season 2 (see details at http:// www.nbc.com/thevoice ).
