Steven Houts has created a colorful patio display in the few years he’s lived in Bellevue. His next project is planting a garden bordering his driveway.
First Bellevue Garden Tour
K
aren McCall is an eclectic artist, who engages in a variety of art, including floor canvases painted with scenes of aspen and fish. Jini Griffith is best known for her plein air landscapes inspired by her love of hiking, biking and rafting in the outdoors. Now these two Ketchum artists can add a new line to their resume—that of wine bottle artists. The two collaborated on the art for seven etched and hand-painted imperials titled “Set the Hook” that will be auctioned off at Friday’s Wine Auction Gala for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. It is the 17th year that Atkinsons’ Market has commissioned a wine lot featuring Sun Valley scenes on six-liter wine bottles (the average wine bottle is less than a liter). Griffith painted the landscape featuring Baldy, the Big Wood River, two flyfishermen and horses that sprawls across the seven bottles. McCall painted individual vignettes of fish that are native to this region — including brook, brown, rainbow and West Slope cutthroat trout. She then solicited the help of Silver Creek Outfitters in

teven Houts bought his Bellevue home because of the large shop sitting on the property, not because of the yard. There was nothing in the yard, save for three aspen, he recalls. That was not a problem for a former landscape contractor from California. He went to work installing an array of shrubs, planting hop vines along the shop wall and clematis along the fence bordering the street and potting colorful purple and yellow pansies in brick tubs containing flowering crabapples. Then he installed a greenhouse to help along tomatoes and other veggies in Bellevue’s short growing season. “I can guarantee you I have the largest tomatoes in the valley right now,” he said, eyeing his tomatoes, which were approaching the size of a tennis ball. “The pansies offer the best color. But you have to keep at them—feed them, water them. And I’m still getting used to the growing season here. One year something will do well; the next year it doesn’t.” Houts is among six homeowners and two businesses that are serving as part of Bellevue’s first-ever Garden Tour from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday. The tour was organized by a small group of Bellevue residents who recently formed the Friends of the Bellevue Library. “Our local Bellevue Library is in need of updated audiovisual materials, as well as funding for children’s literacy programming,” said Lisa

Jini Griffith says painting is “just another way of looking at nature”—a way to capture what she sees and feels emotionally.”
Jini Griffith and Karen McCall were commissioned for the artwork, entitled Set the Hook, on the Atkinsons’ Market wine lot for this year’s Wine Auction Gala.
painting fly ties that are appropriate for each fish. “Artists don’t often get to work with someone else—we usually work by ourselves. So it was fun to be able to collaborate,” said McCall. Griffith painted her landscape in oils on a 10-inch by 60-inch canvas, paying particular concern to how the painting would look carved up in seven sections. McCall painted her fish in acrylic on canvas 14 inches long to get the details in. Sharon Pyle, Atkinsons’ specialties manager, then sent the art to Fresh Northwest Design in Gig Harbor, Wash. There, a design team scaled down the Ketchum artists paintings and used a stencil to transfer their art onto clean bottles. The team created layers for each aspect of the piece, including mountains and aspen trees, doing much of the work by computer. Finally, an artist handpainted the bottles, according to Griffith and McCall’s directions. The team etched the names of each winery on the backs of the bottles with the help of a photo emulsion process to produce a template which

they mounted on the bottle. They then masked the rest of the bottle with tape and placed the bottle in a sandblaster. Artisans guided a stream of sand to erode the exposed glass and create an image. “I think the bottles look great—very striking,” said McCall. “And Jini has done a nice job with vertical things like trees that break up the long horizontal look.” Pyle said she is always nervous and excited to see how the lots would come out. And she’s gratified that the wineries are not only willing but excited about being involved. “Our Northwest wineries are top of the line for sure,” she said, referring to Col Solare, Cote Bonneville, DeLille Cellars, L’Ecole No. 41, Leonetti Cellar, Quilceda Creek Winery and Woodward Canyon Winery. Griffith said she will volunteer at Friday’s wine auction so she can watch the bidding on her bottles. “At its height someone bid $78,000 on the Atkinsons’ lot,” said Griffith. “I’ll be rooting to bid it up since I have a personal stake in it this time.” tws

ou won’t recognize the Edgar M. Bronfman Chamber Series when it kicks off this Sunday. The chamber series has been renamed the Edgar M. Bronfman In Focus Series. • It’s been expanded from three performances to four. • It will feature discussions and demonstrations about the music by Music Director Alasdair Neale at 5:30 p.m. each night, with the concerts beginning at 6:30 p.m. (except for the finale on July 29). • It will have a common thread running throughout the series—in this case, the rich musical history of France with an emphasis on Impressionism. • The July 29 concert, which begins at 5:30 p.m., will feature a chamber orchestra—a first for the chamber series. • Pianist Jean Yves Thibaudet— a native of France—will be involved in the final two performances as the Symphony’s first artist-in-residence. • And Soprano Heidi Grant Murphy will make her Sun Valley debut in the Monday concert, singing French songs while her husband Kevin Murphy accompanies her at piano. Murphy, a winner of the prestigious Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, has sung with many of the world’s finest opera companies and symphony orchestras, including the Metropolitan Opera and the Salzburg Festival. “Alasdair felt that giving an overview of French music wasn’t complete without song,” said Jennifer Teisinger, the symphony’s executive director. The free chamber series opens on Sunday and continues on Monday, Wednesday, July 27, and Friday, July 29 at the outdoor Sun Valley Pavilion. The finale on July 29 will be entitled “Let Me Arrange That for You” and will feature a performance of a piece by Thibaudet as it was originally composed for piano. That will be followed by an orchestrated version featuring a chamber orchestra of symphony musicians. The chamber series was reformulated in response to a growing community of intellectually curious arts enthusiasts, said Teisinger. The “In Focus” series is designed to bring the audience inside the music, bringing it “in focus.” Sunday’s concert will feature Debussy’s “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun,” Saint-Saens’

“The Swan from “Carnival of the Animals,” and Ravel’s “Allegro,” among other compositions. Monday’s concert will feature Murphy singing French songs while a string quartet plays Ravel’s “String Quartet in F Major.” “We have had a singer with our chamber series before. But this is the first time we’ve brought in a major soprano. Essentially, we’re having two major guests artists this series, with Jean-Yves Thibaudet and Heidi Grant Murphy,” said Teisinger. “The other neat thing is that this music series uses more musicians from throughout the orchestra whereas the old series usually revolved around a string ensemble. We’ll see the chamber orchestra on stage July 29 and we’ve never seen that in the chamber series before.” Teisinger said there are still some $250 and $500 tickets to the July 31 benefit concert featuring child star Jackie Evancho. “Jackie’s going to be incredible,” predicted Hailey resident Maggie Sturdevant. “People are going to have their mouths hanging open when that little 11-year-old opens hers.” For more information, go to www.svsummersymphony.org tws

ou might have felt a little left out had you driven through Ketchum without a bike rack on top of your car this past week. Two-wheel mania gripped the town as more than a thousand racers and their families poured into the valley from places like Hackettstown, N.J., and Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas, for the USA Cycling National Mountain Bike Championships. Bald Mountain, known for its perfectly coiffured groom slopes in winter, sported a rock fall of large jagged boulders tumbling into the stadium at the base of River Run. And a long stretch of large jagged boulders awaited them along a flat stretch of course bordering the bike path. The course gave even competitive veterans like Ketchum’s Muffy Ritz cause to pause. “It’s a very tough course fitness-wise and technically, which makes it a very good course,” she said. “I have to admit I got to the top of the rock fall and stopped. I wish I had the guts to go down it and I know if I could pick a line and do it once I’d be fine. But the consequences are too high for a 53-year-old.” Indeed spectators did see some spills, chorusing a universal “Ohhhh,” and looking away momentarily as a few racers tumbled over their handlebars on the downhill. “I thought the toughest part was actually the flat rocks— they were big and jagged and jangly—and you had to try to maintain your speed as you went along it,” said Hailey’s Janelle Conners, who raced in the amateur division. “The hill you just
had to pick your way down for a two-second ride.” When the dust had settled, it was the usual suspects for the most part who came out wearing the Stars and Stripes jerseys that showed they were the best in the nation. Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski of Boulder, Colo., prevented Todd Wells of Durango, Colo., from collecting another title when he outsprinted Wells in Sunday’s short track event. Adam Craig, of Bend, Ore., and Lea Davison of Jericho, Vt., took home the pro Super Downhill national titles. Former Ketchum racer Georgia Gould, now living in Fort Collins, Colo., successfully defended her pro women’s cross country national title on Saturday while Todd Wells won the men’s title. She mounted a chase in Sunday’s Pro Women’s Short Track Cross Country race but was unable to catch Katie Compton of Colo., Springs, Colo., and came in third. Meanwhile, Ketchum racer Rebecca Rusch, competing for the first time in a single-speed race, blew away her closest competitor with nine minutes to spare. “Hearing my name and seeing all of my friends and my training partners…it’s the best week of my life living here, having nationals here,” said a jubilant Rusch after her win. “It’s awesome.” The competition-fueled lines at street side eateries like KB’s Burritos and kept employees at The Elephant’s Perch working until 10 each night fixing broken parts. River Run was abuzz with spectators who licked snowcones
served up by Zions Bank, perused a tent using a bike tire as a frame and cheered on racers as they bounced over a 12-foot-tall bridge smack dab in the middle of the bridge area at River Run. Two CH47 helicopters buzzed the top of Baldy on Friday as paragliders sailed off the mountain and an A10 from Gowen Field saluted the competitors in a flyover. Mike Hattrup explained to his son Axel how it would take the competitors as long to come down the trail as it would to go up. “I love this event,” he said. “It has great energy and it’s got to open the eyes of the mountain bike community to what we have here. Sun Valley has the potential to be a better mountain bike town even than a ski town—the riding’s that’s great.” Tom Knudsen of Ketchum showed up Friday in a Norwegian jersey and Norwegian socks to celebrate a Norwegian winning the Tour de France stage earlier that morning. India Wysong showed up bearing the brunt of bruises she’d sustained the night before when she crashed at the end of the Fat Tire Criterium in downtown Ketchum, sailing over the barrier at the finish line. Competitors and onlookers spoke favorably of the race. “It’s awesome. And it’s good for the valley-with all its energy,” said Hailey racer Miranda Stopol. “This is a beautiful area. And the race course will be even better when the trail’s been ridden more and is more broken in and more compact,” said Collum Read of Albuquerque, N.M., who sustained a broken collarbone
Clockwise from Right: • Many racers jumped the bridge at the top. • Racers were a blur on Ketchum’s streets during Thursday’s Fat Tire Criterium. • Racers had to navigate through a flat rocky course nearly the length of a football field. • Riders picked a variety of lines through the rock fall under Baldy’s gondola. • Female racers 13 and 14 years old take off in Friday’s National Cross-country Championship Race.

right off the bat. “The whole event is very exciting, very challenging,” said Ritz. “Lots of energy, and I really glad so many showed up for our race. We’ve gotten twice as many as the last race.” tws

ustin, Texas, crooner, James Speer will play Mahoney’s Bar and Grill in Bellevue on Friday. The free family-friendly show starts at 6:30 p.m. on the outside patio. Following the release of his critically acclaimed debut CD, “Sixes & Sevens,” Speer is back in the studio recording the beginnings of his much anticipated next album, “Soul Sessions.” While “Sixes & Sevens” delivers a powerful blend of straight rock, pop, and alternative music, “Soul Sessions” takes Speer’s pianodriven songs to the next level with the addition of soul, funk and pop elements to create a thoroughly modern R&B sound. Speer was named Best Male Vocalist at the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Awards in Beverly Hills, Ca, where his album “Six-
es & Sevens” also came in 3rd in the Best Rock Album category and 4th in the Best Modern Rock Song category.

Dunning Didn’t Disappoint By KAREN BOSSICK
S
un Valley has a storied history of applauding its athletes who can slide fast on the snow—the Picabo Streets and Pete Pattersons, the Graham Watanabes and the Morgan Arritolas. Sunday night several hundred Wood River Valley residents came together to applaud one of their own who excels in a different way—tinkling the ivories at a world-class level. Susan Spelius Dunning didn’t disappoint, presenting a simply enchanting rendition of Chopin’s “Nocturn in D-flat Major” as cottonwood seeds danced through the air and interpreting Debussy’s “Clair de Lune” in a way that shed new light on the composition. “We’re asked why we do this. We do it because we think music is important in our lives--all
types of music but especially classical music, which adds breadth and depth to our existence,” said Steve Gannon, who paired with Dunning to found the Sun Valley Artist Series two years ago. Dunning appeared in a long flowing blue gown with sparkling necklace and earrings for the concert, which was sponsored by Jim and Willa McLaughlin and Judy Jellinek. She presented short commentaries between each song that made for a delightfully entertaining evening on what she herself called “a most magical evening in a most magical pavilion.” “When one says they have a dream, then go do what they dreamed of—that inspires all of us,” said Barbara Hamacheck. “It’s people like this, events like this that make the world a better place.” tws

African “New Heart” worship team from Boise will present special music in tribal costumes. There will be short talks by several guest missionaries, followed by a Church Picnic on the lawn. Among those who will talk are seven members of the church who accompanied a Free Wheelchair Mission to Bogota, Columbia, where they delivered free wheelchairs to people with cerebral palsy and polio. The church raised enough money to buy 500 of the $60 chairs made from plastic lawn chairs and bike tires.
“Some of the people were bedridden and never got out of the house. We let them know that that chair was a gift of God,” said Henley. “I remember one 12-year-old girl named Julia who was deaf and blind and bedridden with cerebral palsy—she had to stay in bed all day because her mother had a job. Just to see the smile on her face knowing her mother wouldn’t have to carry her anymore was really special. And the chair allows her to go to the market with her mother.” tws
briefs Sarah Brown to Perform Piano Recital On Tuesday, July 26 at 5 p.m., Wood River High School graduate Sarah Brown will perform her Senior Piano Recital at the Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. Sarah will perform works by Bach, Beethoven, Norman Dello Joio, Claude Debussy, Francis Poulenc, Brahms and Robert Muczynski. Sarah began studying piano when she was six years old in Jakarta, Indonesia, after her father’s work took the family to Asia for 15 years. After three years in Jakarta, they moved to China where Sarah studied with a Chinese teacher and then on to Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam, where she studied with Russian teacher Igor Chystokletov before returning to the Wood River
BMX COURSE Valley in 2004. She is currently studying with Mark Neiwirth, professor at Idaho State University. The public is invited to attend Sarah’s recital, which is free of charge.

lenn Janss, who founded the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, will help pop the cork on the 30th anniversary of The Center’s Wine Auction this weekend as honorary chair of the event. Janss founded the wine auction after she attended a similar event in California and realized how much money such an event could make for The Center’s educational and outreach programs. This year’s event will kick off Thursday when some of the Eric Claptons and Michael Jordans of the chef world will prepare knock-out food paired with top-drawer wines in some of the valley’s most elegant private homes. The Center will hold a Riedel Wine Symposium focusing on West Sonoma coast wines at 11:30 a.m. Friday in the Sun Valley Inn, followed by the Wine Auction Gala at 5 p.m. under the big tent at Dollar Mountain. Saturday will include a Riedel

ou can get a peek at some of the over-the-top dinners featured each year during the three-day Sun Valley Wine Auction in a new cookbook. The Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ Junior Patrons Circle has compiled a cookbook titled “Entertaining Sun Valley Style—Behind the Scenes from the Sun Valley Center Wine Auction” just in time for the 30 anniversary of the wine auction. The coffee table-type hardcover book offers six dozen recipes for such dishes as sweet potato frittata, mushroom encrusted elk tenderloin and Turkish lamb kebab, concocted by Sun Valley and national chefs. The book offers wine-pairing suggestions, floral arrangements guidelines and such entertaining tips as creating the perfect dessert platter for chocolate lovers. And, it features photographs from past wine auctions, a resource guide for unusual food ingredients and wines and seven menu lists from past vintner dinners, which featured such dishes as Monterey Bay red abalone with white summer corn and winter black truffle vinaigrette, honeysuckle ice cream, asparagus folded lasagna, chilled passion fruit soup and olive oil cake with red wine. “It’s a way to turn the wine auction inside out so people feel a little more part of it,” said Sally Boettger, The Center’s co-executive director. Proceeds from sales of the book, which is available at The Center, Ketchum Kitchens and Ketchum bookstores, will benefit The Center’s arts education outreach. tws

The tiny joys of a large land
did you know roxy’s is open till 10 for a late night grab & go meal or snack
By BALI SZABO
O
ne of the reasons I settled here a decade back (I don’t even qualify as a local) is our proximity to the Teton/Yellowstone National Parks. The Sawtooths and the Pioneers are icing on the cake. And then, there’s the rest of Idaho. Yellowstone is the Serengeti of the Americas. It is also a very significant place. It holds clues to the dynamic formative processes of the solar system and to the beginnings of life (exobiology). This land of fire and ice has its dangers and its charms. One of my favorite and readily available attractions is Trout Lake, a half-mile uphill stroll from the Lamar Valley road in Yellowstone N.P. Its a small, circular body of water, about 250 feet in diameter. It has a path around it, and its named for its population of cutthroat trout. In mid-June, the pebbled bottom of its inlet stream is alive with the dance of females laying eggs and the males fertilizing them in a swim-by. Of course, fishing is forbidden until well after this event, but its beautiful to observe. A few yards away, waiting for the crop is a resident otter who suns on and lives nearby a large log that’s been there for years. Otters love to mug for the camera, so if you sit quietly by the shore amid the wildflowers, you’ll get a show. The western shore is shaded and wooded. The other slopes are lush, open meadows teeming with wildflowers. More often than not, buffalo pass the time of day on the northern side amid hundreds of ‘sugar bowl’ clematis. Even with young ‘uns around, I amble by slowly, quietly looking at the flowers and pretending to ignore the natives. They do the same. Good manners all around. Wild animals will tolerate us if we are quiet, still, predictable (not hunters) and have no surprises for them. Sometimes they’ll even like us. A couple of weeks back, the fatal attack of a hiker by a sow was the result of the female and cub surprised by the two hikers. Had they advertised their presence beforehand, the incident could,

perhaps, have been avoided. The floral mix of the moist west bank differs from the other three sloped shores. Here, a wild Western Clematis (Virgin’s Bower, similar to the cultivated clematis we grow for our trellises) crawls up tree trunks. In a new place, I scour every square foot just to see and record some memorable tidbit. I wandered along a soggy lakeshore, grass, scrub and rotting logs when I chanced on a stand of beautiful flowers I knew nothing about, the Calypso Bulbosa, a rare Western orchid (pictured) that’s related to the larger Lady Slipper. I felt like the Prince who found Cinderella. This orchid is rare only because its waterfront habitat is endangered by civilization’s love of shorelines, and it doesn’t matter whether its industrial development, an oil spill or a tree hugging Yuppie’s home. Bye bye habitat. The only other place I found this plant is along the Clark’s Fork of the Yellowstone River below paved Beartooth Pass (11,000 feet) in view of Pilot’s Peak, under some shoreside evergreens, on the way into Cooke City. This ‘Gateway’ town is a crucible for the conflicts of the West - development, tourism, resource extraction and preservation. Like so many human conflicts, its all about the tws money.

wildflower walks
Trumpet-shaped Scarlet Gilia By KAREN BOSSICK
I
f the dashing Scarlet Gilia could sound its trumpetshaped flowers, the mountain valleys would be echoing aplenty right now. The plant, also known as Skyrocket, is decking the dry sunny hillsides along Highway 75 and area hiking trails just in time for the Sun Valley Summer Symphony season. Dr. A. Scott Earle says in his book, “Idaho Mountain Wildflowers,” that the flower is one of the few bright red flowers, along with paintbrushes, that are native to our mountains. Its flowers and foliage have an acrid odor when crushed so it’s been called “skunk flower,” although Earle says the smell doesn’t really resemble that of the skunks that seem to have inundated the bike path with their pungent aroma the past
few days. The plant usually stands about one to two feet tall with lacy dissected leaves at the base of the plant. But it’s said it grows as tall as five feet in some places. It is, of course, a favorite of hummingbirds. People have boiled it as tea. It can be taken in small doses as a tonic for the blood when the leaves are steeped in hot water until the water turns bright green. A poultice can be made for itchy skin and rheumatism. And an infusion of its roots is used as a laxative and to treat high fevers and colds, according to a Utah State University report. tws

Bellevue Gardens, from page 1 Mary. “Our 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. We hope to raise money to keep her going!” The tour will consist of eight “unique labors of love,” as Bellevue residents like to refer to their gardens. Some are new, while others have been established for more than 10 years. The tour begins at the visually stunning Branching Out Nursery on Main Street and concludes with a champagne and cupcake reception at the Green Antelope Gallery on Second and Oak streets. The first 50 participants will also get a special surprise at the conclusion of the tour.

Hailey Garden Tour By KAREN BOSSICK
J
udy Foster became a dumpster diver when she moved to Woodside three years
ago. She pulled out ”more cardboard than you could believe,” then laid it and newspaper all over her yard in a lasagna fashion before piling on bark four inches deep. “A lot of the lawn and plants had died when I moved in. And one of my goals was to live as sustainably as I could. So I figured one way to reduce water and maintenance was to go this route,” she said. “I love not having to worry about mowing and aerating. And leaves become part of it so I don’t have to worry about raking, either.” That’s not to say Foster’s yard on Winterhaven Drive is devoid of life. She has planted a host of shrubs and trees around the perimeter of her front yard that she hopes will give her some privacy as they grow. And her backyard sports a huge ring of strawberries, as well as grapes, raspberries and other plants. Foster will show off her “work in progress” from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday during the Hailey Garden Tour to benefit the Hailey Public Library. The tour will feature 11 gardens in an area bordered by Fox Acres Drive on the north and the Sweetwater development to the south. The tour features such jewels as Maeme Rasberry’s garden, where she grows veggies for her restaurant, and Julie Fox-Jones’ five-acre spread, which even shows how veggies can be incorporated into a child’s playset. And it features the work of people like Jose Hererra, who built a fountain and waterfall on opposite corners of his backyard after retiring as custodian of The Community School. The first thing Vee Riley did when she moved to her home on Laurelwood eight years ago was to lay decorative stones leading away from her house into the sagebrush on the hill a couple hundred feet away. The pathway leads to a meditation garden with statues of St. Francis and deer and a park bench. Riley never gardened while living in a beach side home in California. But she’s gotten into it here with a fluorish, planting trees for every member of her family and even putting in a cactus garden from which she can look at Della Mountain. The first thing Stephanie Giacobbi and her husband Eric Coury did was to chain two tons of sagebrush from the hillside bordering their back yard to a truck and yank it out. They then built three stone terraces, filling them with mock orange and other plants, leaving room for a vegetable garden at top. Giacobbi never wanders through her yard on Winterhaven Drive without picking a

The Hailey Garden Tour will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in the Foxmoor/Woodside neighborhood. Tickets are $20, available at the gates or before the tour at all Webb Nursery locations, the Sun Valley Garden Center, and the Sustainability Center. Gardens owners are Maeme Rasberry, Judy Foster, Vee Riley, Stephanie Giacobbi and Eric Coury, Kathy Nice, Benito and Maria Martinez, Jose Herrera, Julie Fox Jones and Mike and Kris Olenick. In addition, tour-goers are invited to check out the E.W. Fox Garden, a community garden effort led by Tracy Anderson, at 991 Fox Acres Road. And All Seasons Landscaping will be giving tour-goers tours of its sustainable plantings at the Sweetwater Development at 870 Maple Leaf Drive. Sweetwater is cooking up brats and hot dogs for tour-goers, as well, said Sue Radford. And there will be entertainment and garden experts stationed along the way. The tour is perfect for bikes.

couple strawberries for her son to nibble on amidst the hostas, delphinium, clematis, high-altitude hydrangea and bleeding heart in her colorful yard. Her story mirrors that of many of the others’ on the tour, said Garden Chair Gretchen Wagner. “With a couple of notable exceptions, the properties on this year’s tour all began as fairly typical bare lots in typical subdivisions. In a relatively short time span, the owners have transformed these yards into exquisite places, all distinctly different from one another,” she said. “You will see dozens of varieties of stone used in many different applications, vegetables, fruit trees, and flowers—wild and tame. You will see what two professional landscapers did in their own yards. You will see that you can, in fact, remove all the grass from your entire lot. You will witness the birth of a brand new city park made with recycled materials and native plants. You will be amazed at water features, terraced gardens, patios and paths, all done by hand. And bookending the tour at opposite ends of the spectrum are one of the only LEED for Neighborhoods pilot projects in the country and one of the oldest still-productive farmsteads in town.” tws

WRHS Senior Cookie Benson By JONATHAN KANE
C
ookie Benson, Wood River High School senior, is a true local. Born and raised in Hailey, she has moved five times in her life, all on the same street – Treasure Lane. “It’s been awesome to grow up here,” she said. “It’s a great place for kids because there is so much to do and I come from a family that loves the outdoors. The mountain is only five minutes away and there are so many great hikes. In the summer I love to go boating at Magic and in the winter I snowboard. It’s such a tight-knit community here and there is so much support. It’s also so safe that you can run around town and not worry. I’ve also been with the same kids since kindergarten so we have very strong bonds and are very connected. There is also so much outdoor music and everyone comes out and supports each other. I don’t really have anything bad to say except that sometimes it feels too small and everyone knows your business – especially in school. I do look forward to getting out, though. I’d like to travel and live abroad for a few years but I could see moving back here. Cities are a little too big and complicated.”
Benson did have the unique opportunity to live in Bangkok, Thailand, for three months, which was “the best experience of my life.” She added, “Bangkok was a little overwhelming. It was so busy and there were so many people. I liked visiting but I don’t think I’d like to live there. We backpacked throughout Thailand and you learn so fast while traveling. It opens your eyes to different cultures and broadens your view of how we do things here and how people do it around the world. My favorite thing was riding the elephants and the food was amazing, especially sticky rice with mango, which was the most incredible thing I’ve ever eaten. The landscapes took your breath away with the contrast of the beaches and the jungles. It was quite different from the cities, which were loud, smelly and overpopulated, and filled with hustle and bustle. It was so different when we came back and you really appreciate the Valley because it’s home.” This summer she is working at The Toy Store, which has been a great experience. “It’s just a really good environment and the people I work with are awesome. I especially enjoy testing all the toys. I really like to work and it’s a great opportunity to learn

Squares sold for $5 each and included a box of 6 colors of washable chalk. The event was part of Hailey Art’s Commission’s July ‘A Month of Art’ which includes art on display for the month at the Hailey Sun Valley Center Gallery and ‘A Night of Music’.

responsibility, which will help me later in life in my real job.” In the meantime, this 3.5-gpa student will be entering her senior year at Wood River. “We are so blessed to have so many awesome teachers who are so intelligent and warm-hearted. They really care about the individual students and they strive to help you succeed. I like to take challenging classes and struggle a little bit. Classes that you don’t have to put any effort into are a waste of time. I like to feel like I’m accomplishing something. Chemistry was very challenging. It wasn’t my favorite so I had to work really hard at understanding it and doing well in it. It’s rewarding to know that you did well and received a good grade. It also makes my mom happy! I’ll probably pursue international relations in the future although I don’t know what field to go into yet. I love kids and it would be so cool to work with them. I sometimes think about teaching abroad because that would incorporate my interest in traveling and my interest in children. I haven’t really decided yet. I want to get out of Idaho but not go too far for too long. I’ll always want to come back and be with my family.” tws

hey certainly broke the mold when they created Buck Brannaman. A truly iconic American figure and one of the world’s most renowned horse whisperers, his story is beautifully told in the excellent new documentary Buck, now playing at the Magic Lantern Cinema. Brannaman, primarily raised in Idaho, and the film Buck, tells a story perfectly pitched for this part of the country, and the sold-out audience I viewed the film with was loaded with what you would call ‘horse people.’ Frankly, I know nothing about horses, although I live on a beautiful horse farm, and even though the horse people laughed at the subtler points of the film, any knowledge of horses will not preclude you from loving this movie. The reason is Brannaman himself and the compelling story of how he survived childhood abuse as a trick rope performer and transformed himself into a powerfully spiritual figure that seems to work with horses in sort of a Zen-like magic show. His wit and charm can remind you slightly of a modern-day Will Rogers, and the depth of his story and humanity are truly unforgettable. As he knowingly remarks in the film, “I’m helping horses with people problems.” He was also the inspiration and model for Robert Redford in his film The Horse Whisperer. Redford appears in the movie, as well as ranchers and family members that attest to the quiet power of the man. There is also the footage of him at work,which is nothing short of remarkable. The film is the first for Cindy Meehl and it is a terrific debut. Inserting footage of his childhood gives you a sense of the pain he endured at the hands of his father and how he transformed it into true love and a generosity of spirit to working with horses. It also speaks to the truths of parenting and how his work with horses truly transcends the experience. Buck is a film not easily forgotten. tws
The last day’s of Cancer’s Solar Journey ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t like to be told precisely what to do. You need the freedom to make your own decisions. Then again, having too many choices is almost worse than having none. This week offers you just the right amount of structure. You feel free to customize your time, and you’ll like the options available to you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You give your all to the projects and people around you. So choose your work carefully. You’re so deeply committed and motivated, and it would be a shame to waste this energy on anything other than what you really, really want. Think long and hard about what is going to make you happy, and write it down. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s an atmosphere around you. Sometimes it’s an atmosphere of playfulness, silliness and whimsy. Other times, your personal environment is serious, thoughtful and regimented. You are very much in control of the mood this week. You’ll decide on a tone and will structure your demeanor and surroundings to fit. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes you wonder if your accomplishments will ever be enough to make you feel that you have indeed “arrived.” Give yourself overdue credit, and you just may realize that you “arrived” long ago and have been here all along, deserving of respect, love and acceptance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You could spend a lifetime searching for your purpose and never completely define it. Your purpose changes throughout your life. And besides, you are too multifaceted to pin down in a single statement. So don’t worry about trying to fit in or do what you should. What you need most now is compassion and breathing room. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do you agree with your own methods of motivation? You have a system of reward and punishment, but you don’t consciously realize what it is. Think about the things you do to make yourself feel bad or good. You will determine the fairness and effectiveness of these methods and work toward a better system. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Jealousy plays a part in the drama of the week. A loved one may secretly fear that she has little to give compared to another
person in your life. You realize that all humans are vulnerable to feelings of inadequacy. Your compassion and understanding will heal the situation or at least calm it for the time being. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Inspiration is like water, food and air -- you need it to live. You may not realize how low your level of inspiration is until you find yourself wandering through the aisles of a store or library, looking for nothing in particular. An aimless search will bring you to your next awesome source of inspiration. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A father figure will play a role in the way karma unfolds. If you play your cards right, you’ll gain a position of power. It is crucial that you show humility, understand your place and pay respect where it is due. You will be promoted and praised because you are emotionally generous. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You won’t give up on what you want, but you also see that pushing your agenda, for the time being, isn’t working. So you’ll set it aside for a while, willing to see if there isn’t something better that is supposed to happen. As you relax and let life happen as it will, your general status will improve. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll carefully plan out events, though you’re also flexible enough to abandon what’s not working. There’s no shame in turning to plan B, C or D. Your balanced mix of attentiveness and free-spirited attitude is a recipe for success. And as long as you keep your eye on a single goal, you’ll attract cooperative helpers. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Actions that are normally simple and straightforward, such as driving, shopping or dialing the phone, can be made suddenly difficult by elevated stress levels. So when you feel yourself getting tense, reduce your expectations. Take it slow, breathe, calm down, and you’ll return to your usual state of grace. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You effortlessly attract helpful people. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) will work especially hard on your behalf. The next five weeks bring a stroke of luck to your financial picture. You possess a remarkable talent for putting the right people together for the right situation. tws

H
ave you noticed that a plant you have in your yard is much smaller when you find it on high-elevation walks? It may be the same species but it has acclimated to the harsher conditions at elevation. So what’s going on? First, an acclimation is an adjustment an individual makes; or example, flagging (trees growing branches only on the leeward side, out of blowing wind and snow), or growing thin, large leaves in shady forests and thicker ones in full sun to optimize sunlight. An adaptation is a helpful genetic trait at the species level (i.e., snowshoe hares turning white in winter). At high elevations, many plants acclimate. One of the most common acclimations is to take on what is called a “cushion” form – a leggy plant
elsewhere grows in a very compact shape, low to the ground. This helps the plant in several ways. It moves the plant out of the full force of the wind – as you approach the ground, wind speeds slow dramatically. This helps the plant retain moisture. The compact shape itself helps to trap moisture – desiccation is a prime threat to these plants. Also, by growing close to the ground, it can absorb some of the natural warmth from the earth, and also capture some of the sunlight that is radiating back from the ground as heat. All of these create a microclimate that allows the plant to live where conditions would normally be too tws harsh! Got a question or want to draft your own ERCbeat?

Gimlets in the Garden raises over $100k An antique tractor, named Lovey, gets a new home By KAREN BOSSICK
S
heila Witmer went home with a tractor. Carol Blackburn got a garden to call her own. And a black lab nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loveyâ&#x20AC;? got a new home thanks to a $1,300 bid. Oh, yesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the Sawtooth Botanical Garden raised well over $100,000 at its Gimlets in the Garden Party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We completely sold out for the event and had a waiting list,â&#x20AC;? said the gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Exdecutive Director Carter Hedberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excitedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we signed up 30 new members during the Garden Tour.â&#x20AC;? The Garden Party, organized by Liz Warrick and Melinda Mobley, followed on the heels of a tour of seven gardens organized by Bobbie Dahl, Kelly Weston and Cindy Hamlin. Two hundred people munched on hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres prepared by Silver Fox Catering and had their caricature drawn and their fortune read by Nancy Harakay as the fading sun highlighted a garden bursting with color. It was Lisa Henakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opportunity to say goodbye to many of her friends as she headed off for flight attendant training in Dallas. And it was Keith Pangbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chance to say hello to many of his old friends as the former Ketchum resident made his way into town from the Yankee Fork where he had made his last ski trek of the season on July 2. Pangborn reminisced with Bill Sherrerd about how far the garden had come in since 1995 when group of volunteers transformed it from a pasture with a straight stream running through it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a succession of chaos, a succession of good spirit, a success ion of the right people in at the right time. And today the garden really has a feeling to it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become much more than a Mom and pop garden,â&#x20AC;? said Pangborn, who headed up the garden board for a spell. Hedberg announced that a heretofore neglected patch of ground next to the Garden of Infinite Compassion will be named Carolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wildflower Garden in honor of Carol Blackburn, who has been working the dirt in the garden for nearly 15 years. Blackburn said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been calling that corner â&#x20AC;&#x153;the parking lot berm.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They plow the snow onto

Witmer put up the reserve of $3,100 on a 1941 tractor that Gooding resident John Glick restored. She said she was inspired to get it for her ex-husband Duffy Witmer for his property on Trail Creek Summit after learning about the tractor from Liz Warrick during a Sun Valley Opera diva party. Warrick and Dave Theobold talked about driving the tractor to the Pioneer Saloon, which Witmer owns. But the light faded too fast. By Sunday and the dawn of a new day, Warrick said the tractor could end up, instead, as a vintage piece outside the tws Kneadery.

t took an hour Thursday for Marge Prothman to drive her Hoveround electric wheelchair from her Copper Ranch apartment in Woodside to what she hopes will be her new home behind the Bigwood 4 theatres. But she’ll have to wait several months to turn the key. Thursday was just the groundbreaking for her new 24-unit, low-income senior apartment building development. Hailey Mayor Rick Davis called the development of the River Street Apartments “a momentous occasion for Hailey.” Prothman called it an opportunity to be a stone’s throw from downtown Hailey, where she can grab a bite to eat at Shorty’s and other restaurants. And she’ll be just two blocks from Albertsons. “It will have an elevator so I want to get an apartment on the top floor where I can look out and see people hiking up Carbonate Ridge,” said Prothman, who has had to use a wheelchair since being struck by a car while hiking in Nepal four years ago. “And I’m really excited to move into a center with people my own age.” Excavation on the vacant lot at 731 N. River St. began this week. New Beginnings Housing of Caldwell will construct the three-story building, which will feature covered parking on the ground floor, an exercise center, community gardens, Energy Star appliances and a private balcony for each unit. Three units will be handicapped accessible and all units will be adaptable should accessibility become needed. Fifteen individuals and couples have applied for the oneand two-bedroom units, which encompass between 690 and 900 square feet. One unit will be reserved for an on-site manager. Builders had hoped to break ground in April, said New Beginnings owner Gregory Urrutia. But the project was delayed until the City of Hailey agreed to relieve Sweetwater of its community housing requirements in exchange for the rights to the land that the development will sit on. “While it was sometimes a winding and bumpy road, we
appreciate the efforts of ARCH and the city to put this together,” said attorney Jim Laski on behalf of Sweetwater developer, Kevin Adams. Tom Harvey, who volunteers with Habitat for Humanity, praised ARCH Director Michelle Griffith for bringing together the agencies to get the project done. “Michelle is a terrific out-ofthe-box thinker. We think about doing one or two houses and she comes up with a whole project like this for 20-plus seniors. That’s quite an undertaking,” he said. Joe Rausch, general contractor of Wright Brothers, said the project is “a very attractive one.” “It’s going to be a great addition for seniors—a lot whom have lived here so many years but need a place to move to as they have to leave their homes,” added Hailey resident Marcia Rausch. “It will also give those who move to Hailey to be closer to their children a place to stay.” Idaho Housing Finance Association provided financing for the development by awarding tax credits. Local foundations also provided several thousand doltws lars’ worth of grants.
What’s it cost?
One-bedroom apartments will rent for between $525 and $595 per month at below-market prices. Two-bedroom apartments will cost between $625 and $695 per month. Units are available to people 55 years or older whose incomes are 60 percent of the area median income or less as computed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Currently, a single person can earn up to $32,760; a couple, up to $37,440. Information: 208-788-3209.

streaker risked serious ice burn Saturday night racing across Sun Valley’s outdoor ice rink in nothing but slippers before climbing over the fence and running into the darkness. Some in the audience at Sun Valley’s Ice Show initially thought it might have been part of Sun Valley’s 75th season anniversary show, reflecting the shenanigans of the 1970s. But that idea fell by the way side as even the ice skaters skating the show’s finale dropped their jaws, asking “Did you see that guy?” “I thought he was wearing a body suit at first,” said Marcia Duff. “But my friend with the ice show said, ‘No, he was not part tws of the show.’ ”

World Cup Highlights By BALI SZABO
The road to Cup
Tired and running low on adrenalin after the 123 minute victorious ordeal against Brazil, the U.S. women still managed to carve out a 3 - 1 win against France on July 13th in Moenchengladbach, Germany. Remarkably, the French outplayed the Americans through most of the match, outshooting them 25 to 11. After an early Lauren Cheney goal, the French continually pressed the attack and scored the equalizer to tie the game before the half. The opening minutes of the second half was more of the same. The U.S. was chasing the prescise, organized, creative French all over the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pitch.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In the 65th minute, a substitution turned the tide. Midfielder Megan Rapinoe was sent in, and with Lauren Cheney, gained control of the midfield and slowed the French attack. In the 79th minute, Cheney lofted a perfect corner kick right on Abby Wambachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head at the far post, and she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss.2 -1 U.S. A few minutes later, Rapinoe fed the speedy Alex Morgan with a feathered pass which she chipped in past a fallen goalie. 3 -1 U.S. Later in the day, surprising Japan beat Sweden, 3 -1. The Japan vs. U.S. final was set. U.S. coach Pia Sundhage aptly concluded, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We suffered from tired legs, but we won with an indomitable heart.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Fishing R epoRt
The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weeklyâ&#x20AC;? Fishing RepoRT FoR JUly 20, 2011 By: Jim sanTa
T
his week we finally have more actual reporting to do. The Big Wood has finally dropped to a reasonable fishing level. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still high and relatively challenging to find a lot of fishable water, conditions are improving rapidly. Some fishable water should be available at most access points, look for knee to waist deep â&#x20AC;&#x153;walking speedâ&#x20AC;? water and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely find some fish. Green Drakes are being seen on most sections of the river and for dry flies, green drake and most general mayfly patterns in sizes 10 and 12 should get some looks. Put a smaller bead head trailer, size 14 or 16, behind these large dries to improve your odds. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also beginning to see some large golden stones and some smaller yellow sally stones. These fish are hungry, not overly selective, and with a variety of bugs now beginning to be present most fly selections will produce given the right water and a decent presentation. The mornings on Silver Creek the last couple of weeks have been a little quiet. This should improve as we are beginning to see the tiny Trico mayflies and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a favorite fare. With the heat of summer on this trico hatch will be early, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to down on the creek shortly after sunrise. In addition to the tricos you may also have pmd and baetis present and we should be seeing callibaetis in the slower water as-well. So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to the creek, be armed with a good selection of flies as these fish are becoming selective. All-in-all weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some great fishing happening out there and as the streams continue to drop options and fishing will only get better. Have fun and be safe.

Longtime trail author Margaret Fuller has just published a fifth edition of her hiking guidebook, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trails of the Sawtooth and White Cloud Mountains.â&#x20AC;? This edition features GPS coordinates for all the trailheads. The book contains descriptions of 128 hikes, has 62 maps and 60 photos, and has been updated with the latest information available. It now costs $20.95. Fuller traveled to all except two of the trailheads, hiked several trails again, added two new trails, and subtracted one because the old road it was on was plowed under. Stores in Ketchum that carry Fullerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books are Backwoods Mountain Sports, Chapter One Bookstore, The Elephantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perch, Iconoclast Books, Lost River Outfitters, Silver Creek Outfitters, and Sturtevants. In Hailey, Lost River Sports carries them, and in Stanley, Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country Store, McCoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tackle, Mountain Village Merc, Riverwear, River One, and the Stanley Museum.

t was a great day for the Ordinary Man, as 42-yearold Darren Clarke from Northern Ireland won the 140th British Open with a 5 under par 275 on a cold, blustery day at Royal St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. His steady 2 under par round was the best of the day, and good enough to hold off Americans Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson, who finished second and third, respectively. An Eagle on the front nine put him 7 - under, and steady golf did the rest. For the last 20 years, jovial Darren Clarke mentored more than he won. Like a lot of us, he struggled with his demons weight gain, smoking and an occasional glass of wine too many - along with a decade of Tiger Woods. For 19 years he tried and failed to hold the Claret Cup. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;he grew annoyed and fed up with the game.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; A friend, who for a moment became Darrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentor, told him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your golf game determine your attitude. Let your attitude determine your golf game.â&#x20AC;? A few weeks ago he won a tournament, and that carried over to the Open. On his 20th try, he holds the Claret Cup. An Arab Spring has turned into a Northern Irish summer, with Clarke and McIlroy winning the British and US Opens. Sometimes nice guys can finish first. tws
The rising sun in Japan symbolized this great soccer game between two teams few could root against. It was 11:15 PM in Frankfurt when Japan won the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup Soccer final on penalty kicks, 3 - 1. Regulation play ended in a 2 - 2 tie, making this the highest scoring Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final ever. The Americans got off to a fast start and totally dominated offensively, but 11 of their first 12 shots were not on goal. They missed every way possible, off or over the crossbar and off the post three times, as the half ended scoreless. As is so often the case, the misses came back to haunt them. Japan had life and hope. The second half opened with a young sub Alex Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot off the post. Later, a nice Rapinoe pass to a streaking Morgan finally resulted in a goal, with 20 minutes to play. In the 80th minute, two mistakes in front and a bad bounce gave Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miyama the equalizer. With the score tied, 1 - 1, the game went into 30 minutes of extra time. Again, the U.S. scored first. In the 14th minute, Alex Morgan shot a laser at Abby Wambachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head, who converted. It was her World Cup leading 13th goal. The U.S. was up 2 - 1. With only 3 minutes to go, the undersized Japanese and their veteran star Sawa scored on a corner kick. Time expired and the game went to penalty kicks, which the giant killer Japanese won easily. It was Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first ever final, and it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have come at a better time as salve for a grieving nation.

spaniel cocker named Radar and a Jack Russell named Jonathan schmoozed the crowd during the cocktail party. And a sell-out crowd of 360 people responded Friday night, opening up their wallets and pocketbooks on behalf of the dogs and cats at the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley. Charlotte Thompson of Hailey won the raffle for $10,000 of groceries at Atkinsonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and donated $5,000 back to the shelter to use for dog and cat food or whatever else might be needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still adding up the total income from the benefit, but it looks as if it will exceed last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of more than $300,000,â&#x20AC;? said Jo Murray, the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesperson. The evening, held on a pictureperfect evening under the big tent outside Trail Creek Cabin, attracted many longtime supporters of the shelter. Among them, Gundl Haskell, the daughter of an Austrian ski instructor, who visits the shelter weekly to pet the kitties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of shelter cats, including my new one Paka, which means cat in Swahili,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some cats are quite friendly and some are shy. I figure you have to socialize them to get them to come out of their hiding places or no one is going to adopt them.â&#x20AC;? Maggie Sturdevant talked about the need to revive a tradition she had for four years of holding a Christmas lunch for women who then brought donations of blankets, dog food, cat treats and dog beds for the animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Animals are such an important part of our lives,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, I don't know what to do. I've had a Chihuahua named Spike for the past 4 years. He's small, fast and very friendly, but he has one problem. He wasn't just tapped with the ugly stick, he got whacked! I admit that he's a dog only a mother could love. I'm 79 years old and moving to a new apartment building that doesn't allow pets, and there are no exceptions. I've already tried. The big obstacle is that while he has a great personality, he could probably win an ugly dog contest. I tried offering him "free to a good home", but the two people who came to look opted not to take him. I only have a few months to find him a good home and I'm at a loss on what to do. There's no way to make an ugly dog cute. What would you suggest I do?
â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘
Cash: Don't underestimate how
cute your dog can be. There are people who love all types of animals. After all, Spike somehow won you over 4 years ago. Carry: We're sorry to hear that your new apartment doesn't allow pets. Breaking a relationship with your dog can be very difficult.

Not just for you, but also for Spike. Cash: Fortunately, he has a great personality. That's the most important attribute people look for when searching for a pet, and one that will definitely help find him a new home. Carry: You should first try asking all your friends and family members if they'd be interested in taking Spike. They may be willing to care for him so you can visit, especially if you offer to help pay for his care. If not, they may know someone else who would be interested. Cash: Since you still have a few months to find him a new home, don't give up on your classified ad just yet. There are many
people who could love Spike and offer him a good home. Be sure to mention that he is a Chihuahua since people often search for dogs by breed. Carry: You could even try contacting the news department at your newspaper to see if they would be interested in highlighting your story. Considering Spike's good looks, he may be newsworthy! The more attention you can get for Spike, the better his chances are of getting adopted. Cash: Also contact any animal shelters or rescue groups in your area. There are often organizations specific to Chihuahuas that can help you find Spike the perfect home.
Most beauty contests are a function of good looks, unless, of course, you're a pet entered in the World's Ugliest Dog Contest. Here it pays the winner $1000 cash to be unsightly. For over 20 years, this annual event has been held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. In recent years, the contest has received national coverage with the program airing on the Animal Planet. Winners of the event often find themselves and their owners in the national spotlight, making the rounds on talk shows and appearing in countless newspapers.
Pet Therapy
Most of us consider our pet to be one of the family. That's probably why 62% of all households own a pet, according to a survey by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association. As we age, pets have an even higher impact on our emotional and physical health. Caring for a pet provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment, lessens feelings of loneliness and reduces stress. It seems a pet can sometimes be the best medicine. â&#x20AC;˘

My husband isn't one for beauty products. In fact, if it were up to him, his bathroom supplies would be a razor and bar of soap. So unless I keep the bathroom cabinet stocked, he resorts back to his days as a bachelor and uses whatever's handy. Last week I forgot to buy shampoo for our bathroom and realized it just as my husband was coming out of his morning shower. I immediately went to apologize. "I'm sorry about forgetting to buy your shampoo," I told him. "Not a problem," he replied happily. "I just used the dog's shampoo." (Thanks to Christine B.)
