Congratulations

to all of the beautiful ladies on this years Heritage Court. Thank you for letting us be part of your lives.

utritional guru Julie Johnson has recently opened a new natural foods store in Ketchum, called “Nourish Me.” Originally from Tacoma, Wash., Johnson moved to Sun Valley when she was a teenager. After living in the French Alps with her husband for twelve years, they decided to move back to the Valley when their daughter was two years old. In the Alps, the Johnsons lived in a small, remote village that focused on goats; fresh cheese, yogurt and eggs were basic essentials to daily life. When they moved back to the United States, one of the first radical differences they noticed was the poor quality of dairy products that resulted from the industrialized farming industry. “As a kid, food was always my thing,” says Johnson. “Today, the use of growth hormones, pesticides and the treatment of chickens unfortunately results in tainted, dead food,” she explains. With this in mind, Johnson initially sought answers by finding a source of good, local, natural eggs. Inspired to spread her knowledge to others, Johnson opened her store in order to provide the surrounding community with more local, organic, and healthy produce. Nourish Me specializes in gluten-free products, local eggs, raw goat’s milk, organic supplies, and products from local farms. The idea, says Johnson, is to provide food in stages. At Nourish Me, customers are able to eat a variety of freshly prepared food at the café, they can take food to-go, or they can buy the products necessary to prepare healthy meals of their own. My motto is “nutritious, delicious, organic,” Johnson declares. “I hope to take the mystery out of nutritious foods by showing people how they can

be used correctly in a way that is healthy and tastes good,” she explains. Idaho’s Bounty has done a great job at establishing connections between farmers and consumers, and Johnson says she hopes to do the same with her store. For Johnson, the most challenging part of opening Nourish Me has been the business side. After working with the Region for Development program out of Twin Falls, however, Johnson was able to obtain the help needed for the financial end of her business plan. Regarding costs, Johnson has been incredibly resourceful in opening her store. Many appliances in her commercial-sized kitchen and all of her large refrigerators have been recycled from various locations. So far, Johnson says, the most rewarding part about opening her business has been to see the community’s response. “People have come in and said how much we’ve needed a place like this.” Johnson has received a large amount of community response and support, and in the future she hopes to expand her merchandise, and add aspects such as cooking classes and food education to the store. “This is such a knowledgeable community,” Johnson points out, “and we must make use of that.” Passionate about her beliefs, Johnson has the necessary motivation to achieve her goals. In fact, she has already approached the city about the possibility of building a greenhouse in the empty lot behind her store. Johnson endorses the need for a community garden, and the importance of exposing children to a natural, healthy way of life. “I am all about show and tell,” says Johnson. “Everywhere you look there should be something growing.” Be sure to visit Nourish Me located on 151 N. Main St. in twp Ketchum!

The Hailey Garden Tour July 24, 2010

Breaking ground on two Hailey homes The Arch Community Housing Trust and its supporters celebrate breaking ground for The Walnut Street Project—the construction of two new single-family homes in Old Hailey that will be added to the community’s affordable housing mix. Shovels in hand, the ceremony begins at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 22 at 5th Avenue and Walnut Street in Hailey. The Walnut Street Project will consist of two detached single-family homes. Each home will have three bedrooms, two baths, and an attached one-car garage. Located in Old Hailey, these homes will be within walking distance of town, schools and public transportation. In keeping with ARCH’s mission—strengthening our community’s economic, environmental and social integrity—The Walnut

Street Project homes will remain affordable in perpetuity as the underlying land will be held in trust. Families will purchase only the improvements and lease the land at a nominal monthly rate. These homes will be available to families earning 80 percent or less of area median income. The Walnut Street Project has been made possible through ARCH in conjunction with the generous donation of underlying land by Blaine County and Syringa Networks, Thad Farnham of Farnham Construction, Lesley Andrus, and countless donations of many local businesses providing services at below market rates. Construction will be funded with a grant from the HOME program administered by the Idaho Housing Finance Association and a construction loan from RCAC.

Dozens of women decked out to sip tea and support Harriman Trail

scene in the valley by: Karen Bossick

T

he Harriman Tea celebrated its tenth anniversary Wednesday—right back where it started at Barbara Thrasher’s lavish country-style stone home in the Elkhorn hills. In the ensuing years, Thrasher said, the Tea has raised $144,000—not counting Wednesday’s contributions—to ensure the mountain biking and Nordic ski trail gets the tender loving care it needs. Dozens of women decked out in sun dresses and hats of all sizes and shapes crowded into Thrasher’s home to sip lemonade and iced tea and nibble on figs wrapped in bacon and even British native Jenny Busdon’s scones topped with homemade raspberry jam. Many left toting porcelain pots crafted by Lauren Street that featured an array of flowers picked from Kris Stoffer’s garden north of Hailey. And they cheered as Muffy Ritz, who sported a green cast on her hand after tearing ligaments mountain biking on Harper’s Trail, announced that the VAMPS women’s Nordic program had finally raised the money they needed to purchase a new snow cat to groom the Harriman Trail. Thrasher said she started the Tea 10 years ago when she came to town and fell “madly in love” with the 30-kilometer Harriman Trail that stretches from the Sawtooth National Recreation Area Headquarters seven miles north of Ketchum to Galena Lodge. Mary Austin Crofts, who championed construction of the trail as director of the Blaine County Recreation District, related the project looked as if it would be deep-sixed 10 days before its launch. “I was told it was over, that we weren’t going to get our grant, that the Forest Service and Idaho Department of Transpor-

Mike Crapo, she “bulldozed the baby through”—a process that included 13 bridges and 421 different environmental assessments. Today, the trail is used by campers at Cathedral Pines and the 4-H Camp, horseback riders and mountain bikers. It also serves as the course for the prestigious Boulder Mountain Nordic tour and race, which attracts Olympic and other worldclass skiers from throughout the

Chamber Series Free hour-long concerts begin By KAREN BOSSICK

T

he Edgar M. Bronfman Chamber Music Series will take the stage of the Sun Valley Pavilion Monday under a new director. Sun Valley Summer symphony principal violist Adam Smyla will take the reins as the eclectic series opens for its 16th season. The free hour-long concerts founded by Sun Valley philanthropist Edgar M. Bronfman will start at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the Sun Valley Pavilion. Smyla began capturing the ear of the music world at age 17 when he won first prize at the National Viola Competition in his native Poland. Within six months he had earned a spot as the youngest member of the Polish National Radio and Television Orchestra. He traveled the world for a decade with the Penderecki String Quartet, averaging between 50 and 80 concerts a year in such cities as London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and New York. He has been with the San Francisco Symphony for the past 10 years. This year’s concert series will feature pianist Shai Wosner, who has been hailed by the “Financial Times” as “an artist to follow keenly.”

Wosner first performed for the Edgar M. Bronfman Chamber Music Series in 2006. He is a student of world renowned pianist Emanuel Ax, who will perform with the symphony on Aug. 7. He also has performed in recital with violinist Jennifer Koh, who will perform with the symphony on Aug. 5. The schedule: Monday—Pianist Shai Wosner will perform Brahms Piano Quartet No. 1 in G. Minor, Opus 25 Chamber musicians will perform Schubert’s String Trio No. 1 in B-flat Major, D 471. Wednesday—Double bass player Stephen Tramontozzi will be featured in Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 7 in F-sharp Minor, Opus 108 Pianist Shai Wosner will perform Schubert ‘s Piano Quintet in A Major D. 667, “The Trout” Friday—Mozart’s String Quartet No. 17 in B-flat Major, D 458, “The Hunt” Tchaikovsky’s String Quartet No. 3 in E-flat Minor, Opus 30 The members of the Sun Valley String Quartet who are featured throughout the series are violinists Jeremy Constant and Paul Brancata, viola player Adam Smyla and Amos Yang. This will be Sun Valley Symphony fans’ first chance to see Amos Yang, the symphony’s new cellist, said Jennifer Teisinger, executive director of the Symphony. twp

hey’re b-a-a-c-k. The wild hollyhock, that is. The showy lavender flower, which stands up to five feet tall, caused people jams on the Fox Creek loop north of Ketchum last summer. Thousands of mountain hollyhock took advantage of areas opened up by the 2007 Castle Rock Fire to bloom amidst the charcoal skeletons of the trees that once shaded those areas. Onlookers wondered whether they would reemerge this year. And they have. The mountain hollyhock, as they’re sometimes called, belong to the mallow family. The term “mallow” defines their soft, fuzzy leaves. They bloom in shades of pink and lavender on spike-like stems three to five feet tall. They’re commonly found along stream banks or in burned areas because the seeds, which can remain dormant for more than a century, require some scouring action, such as running water or heat from a fire in order to germinate. Wild hollyhock doesn’t tolerate shade well so once other plants start growing in the area in the years to come, they’ll be out of there. The Indians chewed the stems like gum. The flowers also provide a nice buffet for elk and deer as burnt areas regenerate. To see them for yourself, park at the Lake Creek trailhead just north of Ketchum. Cross the bridge and follow the trail up away from the river as it merges with a road. At a sign reading

“Fox Creek Trail” turn left and climb up the hill above fields of lavender lupine. You’ll find the hollyhock at the top after about 750 feet of elevation gain. Complete the five-mile loop by descending through the woods on several switchbacks. This trail eventually descends to the Lake Creek Trail, which will take you back to the trailhead. You can also access the trail via the Fox Creek trailhead. Don’t turn right or left immediately after crossing the bridge; instead, follow the trail into the hills and go left when you reach the Fox Creek/Chocolate Gulch junction. If hill climbing isn’t your forte, you can see a smaller version of

the wild hollyhock display on the Lake Creek Trail that parallels twp the Big Wood River. learn about wildflowers The Sawtooth Botanical Garden is leading a special wildflower walk near Stanley on Thursday. Walkers can meet to carpool at 8 a.m. at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, which sits a couple miles south of Ketchum at Highway 75 and Gimlet Road. Or they can meet at 8:30 a.m. at the parking lot of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area Headquarters, seven miles north of Ketchum on highway 75. Trip leaders plan to return at 4 p.m. Cost is $10 for Botanical Garden members and $15 for non-members. For information, call 208-726-9358.

Bear in Deerfield

Jazzin’ it up

By KAREN BOSSICK

L

Russell Caldwell spiced up the weekly Jazz in the Park concert recently with some Latin-flavored jazz, which drew a good-sized crowd despite “MIZ Saigon� playing in the Sun Valley Pavilion. Pictured left to right: Chuck Smith, piano; Russ Caldwell, conga drums; Sandon Mayhew, tenor saxophone; Jeff Rew, bass; Josh Kelly, timbales and percussion; and Nate Keezer and Will Caldwell (back) sitting in on percussion. This Sunday, John Northrup and his “Jazz Rangers�, will bring smooth Bossa nova Jazz Guitar to the free concert from 6 to 8 p.m. at Ketchum’s Rotary Park, Warm Springs and Saddle roads. Photo: Tim Corcoran

ast week Erwin Kett had his camera trained on some tiny yellow birds with Zorro-like masks over their eyes. This week it was a tiny black bear. Kett said he was driving on Whitetail Drive in the Deerfield subdivision of Hailey when he spotted what looked like a funny walking dog. Upon closer look, he realized it was a baby black bear. By the time he got his camera, the bear was in Heidi and Rob Reeves’ backyard. That was as far as the bear got, though. Fritz and Maria Peters called 911 and the police whisked it away. twp

Jon rated this movie

his wife and with a strong desire to go home and see his children, he plans one last job. But this one, called Inception, will seek to implant an idea in someone’s head. So in the most cliché of terms he forms an arch team of dreamweavers (my apology to Gary Wright) and follows them through multiple layers of dream states (whatever that means) within their target. Maybe it’s me, but absolutely none of this made any sense. Destined to dominate the box office the first weekend, word of mouth should sink this turkey faster than the Titanic. twp

This week’s Horoscopes: Saturn is keeper of time, writer of rules

Music on the Square Thursdays • 6–8 p.m. at the new Ketchum Town Square

This Thursday, July 22:

Up a Creek

FREE • Picnics Encouraged sponsored by: The City of Ketchum • KECH 95.3FM Mountain Town Events SVKCVB • The Weekly Paper

Saturn is a celestial authority figure: keeper of time, writer of rules, enforcer of law. When this slow-moving outer planet changes signs, which usually happens once every two or three years, it’s a big deal. This week, he transits into the balanced sign of Libra, focusing his attention on civil and legal matters. Saturn in Libra will strive for justice and will encourage us to create systems that are both effective and fair. ARIES (March 21-April 19). One branch does not control the whole tree. Without the branch, the tree and the roots will go on doing what they do. If you find yourself obsessing over one thing that is not going as you want it to, bring your attention back to what is really essential. There is much to enjoy about your life and its process. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be offering something to the world. Your offer may be projected in the form of an e-mail, an advertisement or an energy that’s jumping off of you. Before you send out the attention-getting message, ask yourself: Do I have the resources to respond to the opportunities or challenges I’m likely to get back? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Children, students and others you are responsible for may come across as being exceptionally needy this week. Some requests require your help. Also, look for appropriate times to encourage

self-reliance. By backing off, you provide an opening for them to find courage and listen to their own hearts. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have remarkable powers of empathy. Your natural sensitivity to what others are going through will allow you to effectively respond to the needs of others. You may even have the healing touch. The trick is to give of yourself without compromising your personal boundaries. Make sure your needs are met, too. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You would love to spend your week making headway on a project or playing with a new toy. Alas, your other responsibilities will prevent you from doing exactly what you want. This is how it is. It makes no sense to resent the schedule. Instead, give yourself over to it entirely. Resolve to have a blast fulfilling your duty. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have dear friends whom you’ve known a long time. They have seen you grow, and they have changed, too. Your paths sometimes diverge. This doesn’t have to make such a big difference in your relationships, though. You don’t have to be alike in all things to be able to appreciate and enjoy one another. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Those around you will be reminded that from time to time you can be intense. It’s an attractive part of your character, but only because it happens so

rarely. Brief instances of passion make life sparkle with excitement. But know when to turn it off. For the most part, a life devoid of extremes will suit you well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your experience will be enhanced through the efforts of working together. You’ll come across some who need your gentle guidance to understand how to share. Your example of give and take may be all it takes to teach these people how best to cooperate and get along. Stay compassionate and be patient. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). From the earthworm underground to the highest-flying bird, every creature on earth has a purpose. You, too. This is true whether or not you feel particularly on course. There will be times when you don’t -- ditto for the earthworm and the bird, and yet they do their thing and contribute to the earth’s harmony. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Because certain things haven’t worked out in the past, you now feel a greater need for control. It’s helpful to some extent. Some things do need to be managed, and you’re the perfect person to do it. But this method will get tiring, so change your belief that others are incompetent. Expect them to be competent instead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Misery might love company, but joy draws a crowd. That’s where you are this week as you repeatedly count your blessings. Your knack for winning people over relies on a long-refined technique of irresistible magnetism. The magnet is powered by a basic sense of joy. You love people, and people love you back. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll heal a relationship this week using one of your superpowers -- emotional flexibility. Like a tree bending over in a windstorm without breaking, you have gone to great lengths and compromises to make things work. Yielding is not your favorite thing to do, but for a little while, it will prove to be the most effective. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You will be astounded at how much you can accomplish this year. Friends will ask your secret, and it’s really quite simple: You have to get a lot done in order to survive in the game you’re playing. And you derive great satisfaction along the way. Wisdom from an elder will inform your career decisions in September. Finances take a turn for the better in October. Your love life thrives because you go with the flow, especially during December’s excitement. Invest in January. twp

eligion should be a cathartic emotional experience. But somehow we’ve turned it into by: Karen an experience Bossick where we sit on an uncomfortable bench and listen to a monologue, said Krista Tippett. That is changing, however, Tippett added. Just look at the Pentecostals, who treat their faith as “a full body spiritual experience,” in which they laugh, cry, even dance. Jews are beginning to embrace the full-body experience, laying prostate at Yom Kipper, while other faiths are seeking religious expression in such things as yoga. Tippett, whose “Speaking of Faith” program airs at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Sundays on Boise State University Public Radio, drew an overflow crowd to St. Thomas Episcopal Church Friday evening before attracting another full house Saturday morning. The Peabody Award-winning broadcaster from Minnesota talked about everything from France’s decision to ban burkas to her upcoming program on a “fluent stutterer” who prefers to communicate with animals—a niche that has enabled him to discover new animal species while working to save endan-

gered lions, jaguars and tigers. Tippett said that people think we can best effect change by growing big movements of likeminded people. But the real way to create change is by bringing together unlike groups of people. Among those trying to effect change are young people, she said. They’re not idealistic in the way youth of the ’60s were, but they believe they can change themselves. They also aren’t necessarily joining churches. But they’ll join a project spurred by their spirituality. Tippett said she is interested in “the beautiful differences

he Sun Valley Center’s Wine Auction Picnic and Concert will sport a new look this year. Fifteen local restaurants and businesses will work together this year to prepare the meal while guest vintners pour their favorite wines. The Saturday, July 24, affair from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Warm Springs Ranch will feature Hawaiian Ahi Poke from Globus, two lamb dishes prepared by Ketchum Grill and CK’s, salads from SEGO, Rasberry’s, the BrickHouse Bar and Grill, the Roosevelt Tavern and the Sawtooth Club and desserts from Toni’s Ice Cream, The Chocolate Moose and Cristina’s. And you can burn all those calories off by dancing to the music of rock and rockabilly musician Clinton Curtis. Tickets for the picnic and the accompanying events of Sun Valley’s glamorous Wine Auction weekend are available online at www.sunvalleycenter.org or by calling 726-9491. “It’s always a great time,” said Sharon Wellsandt, who has attended the picnic for years. “”It’s always so much fun seeing people you haven’t seen all year.” The weekend will kick off on Thursday with Vintage Dinners at 12 private residences featuring an array of chefs that include Christopher Kostow, chef at The Restaurant at Meadowood in Napa, Calif., and Beau MacMillan, executive chef at elements restaurant at Sanctuary in Paradise Valley, Ariz. Kostow was nominated for Best Chef: Pacific by the James

Beard Foundation and named one of “FOOD & WINE” magazine’s Best New Chefs 2009. MacMillan is co-host of the Food Network’s “Worst Cooks in America” series and an “Iron Chef America” competitor who triumphed over Bobby Flay in a battle fought over American Kobe beef. A Riedel wine symposium will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, July 23, at the Sun Valley Inn. Maximilian Riedel, 11th generation glassmaker and CEO of Riedel Crystal America, will present a primer on using proper stemware as students try wines from various vineyards. Cristl Holzl, The Center’s wine auction director, said she was astonished when she taste-tested wines in different stemware at last year’s inaugural symposium. “I was amazed how the Riedel glasses really enhanced both the aroma and flavor of the wines,” she said. Master Sommelier Fred Dame will follow up the Riedel symposium with “The Power of Pinot” symposium from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. All symposium participants will receive a set of Riedel pinot noir stemware to take home. Guest chefs Christopher Kostow and Beau MacMillan will don their chef’s hats again Friday night to prepare dinner for guests attending the Wine Auction Gala on Friday The Wine Auction, consistently ranked among the top 10 charity wine auctions in the country by Wine Spectators magazine, will take place at 5:30 p.m. under a tent on Dollar Mountain.

between ourselves” more than commonalities. She said people need to exercise caution as they talk about their beliefs and values if they wish to avoid alienating people. “It’s not just that ‘I’m right, you’re wrong.’ It’s a matter of ‘I’m good, you’re evil,’ ” she said. “The only thing possible in that is an argument. “That’s why I’m so enthused by projects,” she added. “We all care for the people in Haiti, for instance. Use those experiences to come to know each other as human beings, even if we don’t agree on our beliefs.” twp

that night at 6:30 p.m. at SEGO Restaurant and Bar in Ketchum and will move to the Wine Auction Gala at 9 p.m. Come Saturday wine connoisseurs can tempt their palates with wines from dozens of vintners from California, Washington and Idaho at the Wine Tasting Extravaganza from 12:30 to 3 p.m. under the Big Tent at Dollar Mountain. The wine auction is the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ biggest fundraiser of the year, with the money raised going to provide arts and humanities programming, scholarships and free programs for Blaine County schoolchildren. Frazer Ford, general manager for J.W. Thornton Wine Imports in Ketchum, is thankful for the programs. His son Everett Frazer Ford has been a recipient of those scholarships using them to hone his classical singing voice at Idyllwild Arts Academy in California. Ford plans to study opera at Denver University this fall. “The wine auction is a really big deal for both The Center and those who benefit from its programs because they make a large portion of their money in just three hours,” said Ford. “And it’s great for the attendees, as well. Those who attend the vintner dinners get a chance to learn about two or three lines of wine in a very intimate setting. And those who attend the dinner and auction get a chance to buy fairly rare big bottles that you can’t get at the store.” For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.sunvalleycenter.org or call Christl twp Holzl at 726-9491.

Chapter 22

I

must have still had some spelunking left in these aged bones because when Lana showed up unexpectedly to visit for Hailey’s Fourth of July celebration, I escorted her to The Mint, and from an underground room there felt compelled to reveal to her the secret subterranean chamber that webs beneath Hailey’s Main Street. As we spryly passed by the remnants of an old Chinese opium den, I joked that this would make a fitting place to set up a closed meeting to relax the fossils who are paranoid about shifting the

airport to a safer position. While showing Lana the underground door that exits into the Hailey Museum, suddenly some penny candy dropped from one of the overhead vault openings and we realized that the popular parade had begun. We hustled back to Bruce’s basement, where an undercover Allen & Co. agent assisted us out of the black hole and over to a prime vantage point above The Mint’s balcony. Although we were surrounded by old friends, Lana appeared nervous, and every time a firecracker popped, she jumped an inch closer. Soon we were holding hands and some of those strong sentimental feelings I had toward her started racing back. At the high point of the procession, an unscripted fight broke out between two members of the shootout gang. Since they had already performed earlier, this made it difficult, momentarily, to distinguish what was

real and what was fiction—until a noble mechanic single-handedly dispersed the actual fisticuffs, moments before local authorities arrived at the surreal scene. After the heat of this explosiveness that evening, Lana and I strolled out Quigley to witness the fireworks. Although it lasted barely twenty minutes, it was a fine presentation, and there were a few sizzlers I hadn’t seen since Love, American-Style. Equally notable was the small number of walkers who had hiked this short distance as, even though the weather was fine, most of the rocket-watchers had driven over in a second slow parade. The next day Lana flew out of town like a blissful comet. Meanwhile, I had been thinking quite a lot about Amy and the inspiring way she interacts with people and pets. For some reason, though, we’d been having a difficult time reconnecting. During a long squawk around the library, my cockatiels Sheila and

Joe had become entangled in the landline, yanking the wire from the wall. Since the walls are 18-inch-thick cement, it requires a special drill before I can fix the phone. In addition, the solid cave-like properties of the house create weak cell reception, so the only time I can reach Amy is when I’m out walking Bud. For the last two weeks we’ve been mostly misconnecting. Maybe I should suggest that we meet together in person sometime again soon, perhaps for a nice slice at twp McClain’s.

Sudoku: SILVER

Good advice from local businesses. By MARTY MILLER OF BISNETT

A

fter more than half a year of inspired debate around the country and in Congress, on March 23, 2010 President Obama signed into law the Patient Marty Miller Protection and Affordable Care Act. A week later, he signed the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act as a companion bill to address some of the problems inherent in the initial act. Ever since, the general public has been asking the when, where and how of this historic legislation. From the get go, many around the country were of the impression the two bills meant immediate health insurance, provided by our national government. Such is not the case, with many of the provisions, not scheduled to take effect until 2014. Suffice it to say, the combination of bills, as their titles suggest deal with more than just the insurance aspect of health care. Oversight for the implementation of these bills has been given to the Office of Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight – an office within the Department of Health and Human Services. We are just now seeing some of the early provisions of the bills coming to implementation in June and July. The temporary reinsurance program for employers providing insurance to retirees age 55 and over was established in June. The HHS web site www.hhs.gov issued a June 29 press release announcing the OCIIO is now accepting applications for this program from eligible employers, including state and local government employers and unions. Beginning in July, the maximum age limit for dependents covered by a parent’s health insurance policy is extended from 24 to 26. A temporary high risk pool for individuals with preexisting conditions has been established, with $5 billion appropriated to this pool through 2013. The two aforementioned temporary programs are designed to be a bridge until the 2014 proviEditor’s Note sions – such as state Opinions expressed implemented Health Inin this column are those surance Exchanges for of the individual author. individuals and small Always check with your businesses, along with financial professional mandated compliance when making financial from private insurance decisions. companies kick in.

The “Weeklyâ€? Fishing RepoRT FoR July 21, 2010 • By: Jim sanTa

ith water levels continuing to fall and lots of bugs beginning to W hatch we’ve got some great fishing to report on all of our local waters. Closest to town on the Big Wood we’ve been seeing a lot of the

large green drake mayflies and the fish have certainly been keying in on this hatch. This hatch had been moving up the river and the bugs are now on the river around Ketchum and north of town, while they have dissipated further down valley. For the drakes stock your fly box with drake patterns, parachute adams, parachute hare’s ears and wulffs in sizes 10 and 12. In addition to the drakes, we are also seeing pmd and pink albert mayflies as well as small yellow stoneflies and the large golden stones are beginning. The fish are pretty eager and a good presentation will always trump bug selection. Have some pmd, pink albert, and various color parachute patterns in sizes 14 and 16, a variety of stonefly dries and nymphs, and basic bead head nymphs in sizes 12-16 to round out your fly selection. Down on Silver Creek the main attraction for the next couple of weeks will be the trico hatch. The fish love these tiny mayflies and will feed heavily during this hatch. You’ll need to be early on this one as it’s also a popular hatch for the fishermen. I would suggest being on the water before 8:00 a.m. for the prime water and action. Other mayflies present will be pmd, callibaetis on the slowest sections and pond and baetis during cloud cover. Damsels, beetles and ants are always good to carry during more non-active feeding times. With water levels dropping, all waters throughout the regions have come into great fishing shape and its prime time for some great action. Stop by our convenient main street locations in both Ketchum and Hailey for the most up to date reports. Be careful out there and enjoy your fishing. Good (Free) Advice

Gimlets in the Garden

K

To Your Health

By KAREN BOSSICK

aren Hanson walked away $10,000 richer. And the Sawtooth Botanical Garden came away from its annual Gimlets in the Garden dinner and dance with thousands more dollars to institute new programs, plant new trees, provide scholarships for youth and adopt some more bugs for its bug zoo. Gimlets in the Garden drew a couple hundred people to the garden, with a spectacular display of yellow monkey flowers, and other gorgeous blooms. Garden Director Carter Hedberg pointed to a pile of dirt beyond the big tent under which diners sat. “It may look like a mistake. It may look like a pile of dirt. But if you squint, you can see it’s a new garden. It’s our new alpine garden, and this garden, along with our new montane garden, is part of a master plan developed by landscape architect Marty Lyon and Cindy Hamlin,â€? he said. Lyon and his wife Mila, Hedberg added, had made a generous donation of $50,000 to help cover some of the costs of the two new gardens under construction. Three people did pledge donations of $10,000 while others pledged smaller amounts. Rowsey noted that everyone there could have been sitting home watching reruns of “Law and Orderâ€? instead of enjoying one another’s company, good food and drink and a good cause on “one of those beautiful Sun Valley evenings.â€? “This is an amazing Valley, not just because of the way the sunlight hits the mountains‌ but because of organizations like the Sawtooth Botanical Garden,â€? he said. “I can’t tell you what it means to the Valley that an amazing resource like this exists.â€? “This is an organization that sometimes takes second place. But it’s on the threshold of greatness. said former Board President Doris Moress. Karen Hanson won a $10,000 cash raffle offered up by the Garden a day after Garden board member Cindy Hamlin had twisted her arm to buy a raffle ticket. On Friday Hamlin greeted the winner with an enthusiastic smile, even though she herself had made the final cut of 10 before Hanson’s name was picked. “Karen said, ‘Oh, I can’t afford it. I never gamble,’ â€? Hamlin recalled as she called Hanson to inform her of her big prize. “You’d better come down here right now,â€? she told Hanson over the phone. “And you’d better get ready to take us out to dinner.â€? twp

Unexpected miracles

I

magine you are creating a story with your life.  Ordinary coincidences become synchronicity when they are meaningful as in this piece of my own personal story, which I would like to share with you. The year is 2002.  Sitting in the doctor’s office in San Luis Obispo, California, I am waiting for the diagnosis.  Another tumor had made its appearance following breast surgery.  The surgeon, knowing from past experience that she could be aggressive with me, offered these words: “It is breast cancer.  Your only choice this time is chemo.�  I fold my hands in my lap and reply, “My decision is to just let it be.� My classic red Volkswagen was waiting for me in the parking lot.  I drove a few miles south to Buellton where my family had planned to have dinner with me. Kate and Jessa, my daughters, and Sean, my grandson, greeted me at the door.  We had chosen “The Hitching Post� restaurant because it was family-oriented.  The warm country feel created a relaxing space for all of us.  Sean loved to watch the cooks through a glass partition, as they created specialties over an open flame.  As I glanced at him, only nine years old at the time, my heart was saddened.  My greatest desire was to watch Sean grow up.  Could it possibly happen?  That was my dilemma. Fast forward to 2003.  Kate and Sean moved to Boise, Idaho.  One year later I moved from “Cambria Pines by the Sea� to the Wood River Valley. Ecstatic is the word to

describe how it felt to be in my new home surrounded by the mountains.  My life was full of wonder, yet the tumor continued to grow. Then one day everything changed.  Cheryl Welch-Thomas, with her warm heart, had invited me to share Reiki in her Ketchum bookstore, along with a book signing of The Green Velvet Journals, co-authored with my daughter, Kate. Creating a space surrounded by books, I was ready.  A charming woman walked in, received her Reiki session, bought a book and realizing it was about a journey through breast cancer, said,  “My husband is an oncologist and is very much interested in alternative therapies.�  She left and a few minutes later her husband entered full of enthusiasm about Reiki.  After he was seated in the chair, I placed my hand on his heart and suddenly, in that moment, there was a twist of fate.  Without any fear or doubt, I asked for his card. That was five years ago.  My handsome grandson, Sean, is now eighteen years of age and will be leaving for college in the fall. My desire to see him through his “growing-up� years has now manifested in all its glory. Be on the lookout for unexpected miracles as you create twp your story.

bird gazebo and a winged winery raised some greenback dollars for four-legged creatures that usually give feathered flocks fits Friday evening. The birdhouses, created by Jack McCabe and Jeff Bacon, were among a couple dozen birdhouses that local folks created to raise money for cats and dogs of the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley. About 340 people turned out for the Shelter’s annual Dog Days of Summer benefit outside Sun Valley’s Trail Creek Cabin. The event featured dinner and a live auction in one tent, a couple hundred silent auction items in another tent, and cocktails and hors d’oeuvres out on the lawn. Suzanne Hausner paraded around holding the leash of an invisible dog she nicknamed “Killer� to show off the party dress she got for a mere $6.50 from the Barkin’ Basement thrift store in Hailey. “Everything you buy there goes to the animal shelter,� she said. Others signed up to pledge donations to help buy various items that the shelter needs, offering increments of $200 for a new surgery table, $75 for Kuranda beds so the dogs don’t have to sleep on concrete floors and $100 for swimming pools—a valued commodity on an evening where temperatures topped out at 91 degrees in Hailey. Sun Valley resident Marilyn Jennings, a proud owner of a former pound cat, pledged $50 for a shelter dog who needs special care. “How can anyone not give to something like this?! We all love pets, don’t you think?� The shelter—Idaho’s first “no-kill shelter�— draws more than 90 percent of its funding from private donations. The dinner/auction is its prime source of income. More than 1,500 animals received services from the shelter last year. That includes 350 animals that were adopted, 252 lost animals that were reunited with their owners and 387 privately owned animals that were spayed or neutered at no cost to their owners who couldn’t afford to foot the bill. The shelter cares for about 45 dogs and 45 cats on an average day and has a variety of unique programs, including a Canine Good Citizens program in which the shelter teaches good canine manners to hard-to-adopt breeds such as pitbulls and Rottweilers. When all was said and done, the Animal Shelter had raised more than $300,000. And Robin Robertson of Huntington Beach, Calif., walked away with a $10,000 Atkinsons’ shopping spree. twp

Fast Facts Stinky Pet

Dear Classified Guys, When I stopped by the town hall to renew my dog's license, I mentioned that I owned a ferret. That's when the clerk told me that the ferret needs a license as well. I joked with her and said that the ferret doesn't drive, but apparently she forgot her sense of humor that day. She actually threatened to send out animal control if I didn't get a license. Why is a license required on animals that stay indoors their entire life? I don't need one for my goldfish.

•

All animals have some kind of scent, but the ferret is known for standing out among pets. Its scent comes from oil glands under the skin. Fortunately though, once a ferret is neutered or spayed, their odor can decrease dramatically. However, more importantly, maintaining a healthy diet, clean ears and teeth, and clean surroundings (litter box, cage and bedding) will help keep any odor under control.

Cash: Well, getting your gold-

fish to wear a collar might be a bit difficult. And the heavy tags would weigh them down like an anchor. Carry: Besides, wouldn’t that be called a fishing license? Cash: Surprisingly though, the clerk at your town is probably right. Ferrets are considered exotic animals and are regulated by laws just like dogs and cats. Each town can vary in its ordinances, and some choose to tighten up regulations beyond the state guidelines. Your town just happens to have a law that requires ferrets to be licensed. Carry: However, you should

consider yourself lucky. Some cities such as Washington, DC or Dallas, TX for example, actually ban the ownership of ferrets. And currently, the entire states of Hawaii and California still ban these pets as well. Cash: If you buy a ferret through a pet store, most likely the store would supply you with information on licensing your new ferret. However, if you find one through the classifieds, it's up to the owner to check with the town for any regulations. Carry: Ferrets tend to be regulated for several reasons. Like cats and dogs, they are susceptible

to rabies. Hence, a license helps insure owners are getting the proper vaccinations for their pets. Cash: Try getting your goldfish to stay still for those shots! Carry: The regulations also exist because some municipalities believe that ferrets would breed and become a nuisance animal if ever released into the wild. This argument tends to be rather questionable. Most ferrets are too domesticated to survive living in the wild. Cash: The same is probably true for your goldfish. If he escaped, the farthest he'd probably get is the living room floor!

While many people associate the ferret with the rodent family, it is not true. Ferrets are mammals, and descend from the Siberian or European polecat. They are a part of the weasel family and are related to minks, otters, skunks, badgers and wolverines. Ferrets were first domesticated thousands of years ago and were a favorite among the English nobility in the 12th to 14th century. Today's domestic ferrets have few survival instincts. They suffer from poor eyesight, poor hunting skills, and have little fear of potentially dangerous situations. They are best kept in a safe environment. •

Reader Humor Identity Complex

The other day I was sitting on a park bench reading your column. An older woman walked up and sat down next to me to read a book. I looked over at her and noticed a small ferret laying on her shoulder. The whole time I was there the ferret didn't move. It was actually amazing. As I folded up my newspaper to leave, I turned to the woman and asked, "I noticed your ferret hasn't moved the whole time we've been sitting here. Does he always stay around your neck like that?" Reaching up to pet the little guy she smiled and whispered, "All the time. He thinks he's a mink." (Thanks to Douglas M.)

Sincerely, Aimee Harrison-Callahan from Gallery DeNovo. **29** Dear Carol (Waller), In today’s world where more time is spent complaining about things and focusing on the negative, I decided that I should let you know that we just returned to Oregon from a trip to the Ketchum/ Sun Valley area and we had an outstanding visit. My wife Gale, myself and 4 other adult friends were visiting your community for 4 days with the primary purpose of attending the Carole King and James Taylor concert at River Run. As expected, it was an incredible event and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, especially as we enjoyed their music in such an intimate venue (River Run). In addition, we roamed your town shopping (various locations, including the Arts Show) dining at various locations (Riccabona’s for Saturday dinnner, Grumpy’s for the World Cup final, Sun Valley Resort for Sunday dinner) and in doing so we traveled exclusively on your public transportation system “Mountain Rides.â€? This brings me to the purpose of my letter. We found the system to be very efficient, clean, on time and we should note that all of the drivers we came into contact with were to quite pleasant and very helpful in answering our questions and assisting us in getting to our various destinations. Kudos! t o “Mountain Ridesâ€? and your community for supporting such a nice service for the people of the valley as well as for those visiting. As I stated previously we had a wonderful time and certainly plan to return sometime in our future. Sincerely, Ric & Gale Blasquez, Al & Roseanne Bel-

hot ticket. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................... from pg 1 GoNative to help others put the focus on natural ecology. “I want to show people that you don’t have to rip out your yard all at once but that you can make gradual changes.” Feldbaum will show off his work-in-progress Saturday during the Hailey Garden Tour, which benefits the Hailey Public Library. The tour, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will showcase nine gardens in the Trails End area of Hailey just southwest of Albertsons. Each garden will feature an expert gardener, as well as musicians, artists and representatives of such groups as Alpine Aquatics. Each garden is very different from the others as they showcase the creative ways Hailey residents are addressing their lawns. The tour is designed for walking or bicycling with most of the gardens sharing a common street. And there’ll be a scavenger hunt, rock painting and other hands-on activities for kids. “The experience is not just visual. We want tour-goers to leave with ideas they can use in their own gardens,” said Tour Chair Gretchen Wagner. “Tour-goers will have a chance to learn from local experts about worm hotels, compost, riparian planting, organics, ponds, irrigation, Trout-Friendly Lawns, constructed wetlands, specimen trees, birds, sustainability and much more.”

Sneak peak:

“Urban Oasis”—The gurgle from a pond filled with 10-year-old koi up to two feet long soothes the soul in the courtyard of the Gateway Building at 613 N. River St. “It certainly offers a peaceful respite from the busyness,” said Kelly Moreland, manager of La Reverie Spa, which shares the building with Oliver Whitcomb’s martial arts

studio. On hand: Alpine Aquatics, Idaho’s Bounty. “Pocket Park”—Linda Barker has maximized her tiny lot at 521 Calumet Way with a variety of miniaturized plants, including lilacs and dwarf apple, pear and crabapple trees. The result: a shady, relaxing nook built around a red stone patio in which to stretch out on the lounge chair and read a book on a warm afternoon amidst honeysuckle and delphinium. “I call it my secret little garden,” said Barker, as she showed off her Persian brazier. Barker has more varieties of perennials than many gardens four times the size of hers. “Everything comes back. So it takes very little work to maintain,” she said. On hand: Jon Wilkes of Branching Out Nursery, flutist Amanda Moulton. “Collector’s Spoils”—Maria Dudunakis has created a colorful, headturning cornucopia out of rocks and plants that others don’t want. Over the past 12 years she has turned what was a sea of grass outside her home at 780 Northstar Drive into an oasis of colorful lupine, potentilla, edelweiss, sunflowers, irises, hanging baskets, birdhouses, rocks and sedum that spills out onto the street. There’s even an apple tree named Fritz that was so loaded, it broke. But with a little tender loving care, it’s starting to come back. “Last year, when we had so much rain, it was like a rainforest. We had to take out a couple flowering plums just to see Carbonate ridge again,” Dudunakis said, gesturing toward the landmark ridge that looms over the neighborhood. Dudunakis and her husband Jerry Boesel have created tiny patios on all four sides of the house, ensuring there’s always a place to sit in the sun or out of the sun, as the case may be. And Jerry has tucked tiny vegetable gardens of peas, onions and tomatoes into window boxes, pots and small plots in and amongst the flowers. A collection of birdhouses Dudunakis found at yard sales hang from aspen and other trees. And footpaths

Hailey Garden Tour:

When: 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday Where: Nine gardens in the Trail’s End neighborhood of Hailey Tickets: $20, available at the tour, at Webb Garden Center in Hailey, at Sun Valley Garden Center and at The Sustainability Center in Hailey. Proceeds benefit the Hailey Public Library. Children will be admitted free and they will be given an opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, including rock painting. weave in and under the greenery and boulders that Dudunakis rescued from a nursery that was closing its doors. On hand: Artist Marie Stewart, birder Poo Wright-Pulliam and Jerry Boesel, who will field questions about irrigation. “Bonus Community Garden”—Tired of seeing weeds grow along the city right-of-way on Empty Saddle Way, Maria Dudunakis and Jerry Boesel convinced neighbors to take $3,000 from their neighborhood association and build a block-long garden of river rock and plants. Neighbors donated plant starts and seeds, divided plants from their own yards and helped with the labor. The result: a meandering mock river bed filled with drought-tolerant native plants and trees, and colorful wildflowers watered with drip irrigation. Jerry Boesel calls it Dudunakis’ extension garden, quipping that she built it because she didn’t have enough to take care of in her own yard. “Hip to be Square”—Pati Meyer, a certified square-foot garden instructor at 720 River Trail, demonstrates how gardeners can plant a certain number of seeds in gridded squares in shallow containers bearing just six inches of soil. The method, developed by Mel Bartholomew in 1981, requires very little weeding, pesticides or herbicides; it takes less work than conventional gardening; uses less water; and is particularly suited for areas with poor soil. “It’s portable, so when she harvests one plant, she can easily go on to something else,” said Wagner. “And

Scott Schnebly and Susanne Conner, both fishing guides, have outfitted their yard with colorful touches, including these hiking boots turned into flowerpots. it’s great for kids because you get immediate results.” On hand: Playful wood art by Glenn Carter, library lounge and rock painting. “Good Dirt”—Scott Schnebly and Susanne Conner have turned their front yard at 460 River Trail into a vegetable garden. And the garden, framed by hanging flowerpots and an archway topped with deer antlers, is just as attractive as a lawn would be. The two compete with each other to see whether the tomatoes grown from her seeds or his starts are juiciest and whether her broccoli is biggest or his. They feed their vegetables with huge piles of compost that they make each fall out of the plant and vegetable materials they’ve saved all year. “She’s from Germany and she thinks you can make anything happen with the right dirt,” said Wagner. On hand: A primer on worm tea and worm hotels from Whitehead Landscape, refreshments from Zaney’s and free advice from Dick and Melinda Springs of The Wood River Sustainability Center. “Living On and Off the Land”—Kirsten Ritzau and Tom Harned have turned what was once Little Indio Camp into a haven for old-growth fruit trees, a wetland of grasses and marsh plants watered with gray water and a greenhouse made from a section of the old Outabounds Lounge.

They used the foundation of an old cabin on their property at 361 River Trail as the border for their raised vegetable garden bed. They recycled an old greenhouse, turning it into a chicken coop. They raise bees purchased in Montana. They live by two rules, said Wagner: Each plant they plant either has to be a perennial that will come back next year. Or it has to produce fruit. It’s paid off. One cherry tree alone gives them 40 quarts of cherries every year. On hand: Big Chief Organics, hydrologist Wendy Pabich, Tom Harned and violinist Pat Robinson. “The Alchemists”—Mike and Debbie Hobart have earned the nicknames “the professors” for the way they experiment with the plants they grow, taking copious notes on the results and cataloging them. They resurrect things people throw away, including the large greenhouse that sits on their property at 360 and ½ Little Indio Lane. There, Mike Hobart starts hundreds of seedlings for his garden while Debbie orders her seeds online. Mike even rescued a satellite dish and lined it with stones to create a fish pond. On hand: Winn Weaver, who will talk about compost, the Hobarts’ daughter-in law’s garden pesto, musician Steph Sloan and an opportunity for kids to pot a basil plant to take home. twp
