Hop Porter Park ~ Hailey, Idaho FRIDAY:
’ve never liked the words “employee” or “boss.” Many years ago, first using them as a consultant, they struck me as by: JIMA Rice, Ph.D. impersonal and generic, highlighting hierarchy rather than collaboration, static roles rather than productive and dynamic relationships. So, why not “associates” or “colleagues” instead of employee and boss? Many businesses have, in fact, already incorporated these words into their language, acknowledging that it is the mix of individual and complementary knowledge, skills, and talents that solve business issues and move business plans forward, not simply “the guy in charge.” The words associate or colleague connote our social reality of a knowledge-rich work force in which incoming associates often know more about a particular topic than the person hiring them. They capture the increasing democracy and flexibility of many businesses in which equity is shared across the ranks and people are free to work where and when they want, as long as they meet their responsibilities. They speak more familiarly to young professionals who are particularly drawn to meritocracy and individualism in the workplace. This does not mean that the need for business structure and reporting relationships drops by the wayside, however. Human nature still directs us to identify everyone’s “place” in a system, especially our own. In that way, we

he affordable housing market in the Wood River Valley is growing by two. ARCH Community housing Trust held a groundbreaking celebration Thursday for two single-family homes that will be built at Fifth and Walnut streets in Old Hailey. The homes are among the first detached single homes developed for affordable housing, said Michelle D. Griffith, executive director of ARCH Community Housing Trust. The Walnut Street Project, as it’s called, will consist of two detached single-family homes, said Mary Rau, a Realtor who has been working with the project. Each will have three bedrooms, two baths and an attached
garage. They are within walking distance to town, schools and public transportation. They could cost as low as $110,000 or as much as $180,000 for the families buying them. The homes will be available to families earning 80 percent or less of the area median income. Families will purchase only the improvements, leasing the land at a nominal monthly fee. Griffith said the first home should be finished by the end of August. Construction on the second should begin in late August or early September. The development is the first for ARCH, which was formed by Ketchum resident Rebekah Helzel in 2004 as an advocacy group. twp

~ Because We Care about Blaine County’s senior Community ~ “Words are not enough to tell you how much I have appreciated the care and concern you’ve had for my well being here at Blaine Manor. Your nurse’s aides, etc. are so kind and considerate. You are the best! This experience has also proven how important the role you play in our community of health care, overall and extended care. I love you all.”
– Rose Mallory, Hailey
“My dad was in Blaine Manor and it was so nice, my Mom was there every day to root for him. It would have been impossible to see him so often if he was not here. Blaine Manor brought my dad back, now he is home and doing well.”
– Mary Mills, Bellevue
“We have everything for the youth, we must continue to fund the seniors and Blaine Manor.”
– Rick Baird, Carey
please visit our web site at www.BlaineManorlevy.com
“We as taxpayers in the County have to realize how important it is to pass the Blaine Manor Levy. We need to take care of the older folks until we can get the doors open at Croy Canyon Ranch. It’s gotta happen; we have to do it.”
–Bud Purdy, Picabo
“I imagine most people drive by Blaine Manor their entire lives (daily, weekly or monthly) without really seeing it or thinking about how important that little brick building is. This is how I used to be. However, now when I drive by, I always look over and I understand its importance in our community because it was my mother’s home. My mother has lived there for the last year and a half as a result of Alzheimer’s disease. She has received quality care by a caring staff. I feel grateful and fortunate to have this facility in my town.”

Presenting Red Jacket Mine By KAREN BOSSICK
T
hey call themselves the Red Jacket Mine. But don’t confuse them with the Red Elephant Mine in the canyon west of Hailey. This band of men carries guitars, not pickaxes. And the noise they make is that of rock and pop with “hints of psychedelia and Americana lining the seams,” according to the national music publication “Blurt.” You can hear it for yourself at 8 p.m. Saturday when the Seattle band plays Hailey’s Sun Valley Brewery. There is no cover charge. “We play thoughtful American rock music with a strong pop sensibility and fiery, melodic, catchy choruses that are informed by the likes of R.E.M. and Neil Young. What differentiates us from a lot of younger bands today is that we’re informed by old Americana music and Southern soul music with a little bit of country,” said band leader Lincoln Barr. The band takes its name from a copper mining area in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula named after a chief of the Seneca tribe. Fittingly enough, they heard of it in Woody Guthrie’s song,
“1913 Massacre,” which told of a fire that killed 75 children and adults gathered for a Christmas Eve party in Italian Hall. The group has spent the past five years playing Seattle and the West. They have two albums, including “Lover’s Lookout,” which they recorded the old-fashioned way—by analog tape—last fall. The record has earned glowing reviews and lots of airtime on Seattle’s independent radio station KEXP 90.3. Barr said he conceived of “Lover’s Lookout” on a beautiful autumn day driving from Seattle to Portland. “It has a double meaning—it can be seen as a romantic lookout point or in terms of a warning, as in ‘Lovers, look out,’ ” he said. The album was produced by Ken Stringfellow, a singer and songwriter with the Posies, who spent 10 years traveling with R.E.M. “He’s an amazing vocalist who contributed to the harmonies,” said Barr. “We spent six days in the studio. We kept the album live, rather than recording parts separately. It costs a lot more money than the way most groups record their music nowadays. But the music speaks for itself.”
Why can’t I recycle shredded documents Curbside? You’d think that shredding paper would be a step toward recycling it, but it turns out that it’s a step in the wrong direction! The value in recycling office paper lies in the length of the fibers. Long fibers are remade into expensive office-grade paper and short fibers are downgraded into cereal boxes and brown paper bags. High-quality paper can be recycled up to six times before it ends up as a pizza box, but shredding makes the paper valueless, fiber-wise. Shredded paper is messy for curbside pickup to handle, and on the market side, paper mills that buy recycled paper for their products don’t want “shred” because contaminants like shredded plastic covers damage their machinery. With identity theft
on the rise, what should a determined shredhead do with documents? Tear off and shred only the confidential information. Opt to receive financial statements electronically and don’t print them. For less confidential documents, rip into four pieces and put two in today’s recycling and save two for next week. And what to do with the remaining shred? Use it for bedding in your vermicompost bin. It makes great packing material (loose or stuff in a bag and staple shut for packing pods). Add to the compost pile or use as mulch in the garden. Use as hamster bedding or cage liner for your bird. Some cats accept shred in the litter box. That should deter identity thieves! twp

NAMI garage sale this Saturday
Advocates for mental health are combating the closure of the local Health and Welfare office with a giant garage sale. The local chapter of NAMI—National Alliance on Mental illness—is holding a garage sale on Saturday, July 31 across from Power Engineers on South Woodside Boulevard at Hailey’s south end. The sale will be from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The organization is collecting donations, including books, CDs, DVDs, kitchen wares, linens, furniture, lamps, office supplies, electronics, toys, games, tools, hardware and yard items—the more, the better! “Since the office was closed in Bellevue, there’s an increased need for our programs, and we need to raise money to fund them,� said Kathryn L. Olson, a NAMI board member. For more information, call Kathryn Olson at 788-4056 or 309-0422.

Holding your ground–Part I
I
n Chinese medicine, the spleen plays a central role. Represented by the core of the body, it is the axis around which all other systems revolve. For your health to hold, the spleen, the Earth element, must be strong and steady. Working its paired meridian the stomach, its job is to digest food and distribute nutrients. When the spleen/stomach team is balanced, the body is strong, well-coordinated and maintains an appropriate weight. The digestive engine is quiet and efficient, the immune system fine-tuned. Out of balance, the engine runs “too rich� or “too lean.� You may have trouble losing—or gaining—weight. Muscles become spongy and you bruise easily. You feel tired after eating. Disharmonies like indigestion, diarrhea, allergies and immune deficiencies may arise. If you are an “earthy’ constitution, your nature is to nurture and cradle life, to be the peacemaker. At your best, you are loyal, stable, generous, and compassionate. You feel safe, well-grounded and “at home’ in your body. You excel in caregiving, family life and gardening. When disturbed, however,
your center of gravity may become lost. You can no longer change directions without losing balance. As spleen energy weakens, you erode too easily, becoming too yielding, needy for attention or affection. Weakness can lead to an energy blockage. You become stuck, unable to see options. Physically, you may experience a sense of heaviness or stickiness—frontal headaches, edema, excessive appetite, especially for sweets and carbohydrates. Blocked spleen is often found in people who cannot stop thinking, even as they try to sleep. Worry sets in. In extreme cases compulsive behavior, obsessions, and hoarding occur. Diet, acupuncture, herbs and lifestyle management can help you hold your ground and stabilize your health. Stay tuned for suggestions in Part II in late August! twp

The moon in Aquarius is opposite the sun in Leo, helping us understand just how far we’ve come as a society. Bonus: We’ll also get a strong feeling about where we’re going next. It is as though an image of the future is being projected in the sky. The Leo sun makes a hobby out of publicity. Life is played out on the stage for all to observe. Yes, it’s about the attention this brings. But there’s also learning to be gathered from such a show. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just as the sky accepts the clouds that pass through its atmosphere, you’ll accept the thoughts that drift through your mind. It’s not the sky’s fault that some of the clouds aren’t so pretty. And it’s not your fault about the thoughts, either. Be like the sky and just let them pass. Let them drift away and disappear. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The metaphor that applies best: You can’t be born without going through birth. You like an easy transition, but it doesn’t always benefit you to have things so easy. Whatever difficulties you encounter, these are just part of your initiation into a new state. You’ll emerge from this process brand-new. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Being separated from a loved one temporarily will be healthy for both parties. And this, compared with what some go through, is very minor. What if you were a soldier or a standup comedian on a road tour or an astronaut on a space journey? Loving your dear one from afar will strengthen your commitment. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Getting the details of your life together will help you get the big picture on track. Mundane activities will be rewarding. Gazing at a freshly mowed yard or opening drawers filled with clothes that are laundered and pressed -these results give you a surge of confidence. You are the master of your domain. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It may feel like your heart is not your own, like it’s being housed in someone else’s body and you can only hope the person will care for it -- and for themselves -- in a way that keeps your love strong. It feels this way, but there is still much you can do to bring happy energy into both of your worlds. Focus there. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Wrestling with fate is exhausting work. You know because you watch people do it all the time. You’ve even done it yourself. But this week, your preference is to go with the flow, harnessing existing energies to help you along. A powerful blast of positive energy will come at the best possible time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll march forward with a meaningful
project. Challenges are inevitable, but you will dwell on them just long enough to solve the problem and go forward. Lamenting, complaining or doing the “poor me” thing is out of the question -- there’s simply not enough time. By Saturday, you’ve arrived at a resting place. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In the spirit of helping out, you will deliver a bit of news. You can’t control how others react to it, but you can say your piece gently and with discretion. After all, a sugarcoated truth is still a truth. The weekend shows you at the center of the social swirl again. The party will be better for your contribution. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Whatever the problem is, there are several solutions that will work. Thinking there is only one right way will put too much pressure on the situation. Loosen up. Be open to different information. With a winning attitude, you will solve this in the best way for you. A forward-thinking Aquarius will help. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Make your list of requirements -- not because making the list will ensure that you get what you want, but because making the list will help you realize that some of your expectations are a little much. The realization will help you to let go, open your mind and let life come rushing forward to embrace you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). So many people believe they are pawns in the game of life. But you know better -- you have many options available to you. You can move in fancy ways or simple ways, whichever will suit the moment. You have your eyes open to the possibilities this week, and your moves will be winning. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The storm is only a mess if you are standing inside it. But you have the safety of shelter. Through the windowpane, the mess is once removed, almost entertaining. That’s how it is for your friend’s current storm. You’re not out in it; you can only watch it. And the best you can do is offer a towel and a hot drink. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You hit a fun groove at the top of this new era. Travel will be part of the equation. You are quite impressive to those of a different culture. Have patience in August when loved ones lean heavily on you. Your grace will teach others how to live well. You’ll get an interesting new job opportunity in September. You’ll be performing or presenting in October. Big purchases go smoothly in December. January is the most romantic. You will invest in yourself and get a surge of confidence in March.

Jon rated this movie
ing to be the worst villain in the world, we discover that he actually has a heart of gold as the three girls steal it shamelessly. Directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud, the film’s animation is fresh and witty and a perfect complement to an excellent script by Ken Dario. The various voices are all excellent and the music by Phanell Williams stands out and drives many of the movie’s sequences. Despicable Me is a joy and certainly one of the better films of the summer. twp

Pedal to the Medal
After a wildly successful debut last year, the Sun Valley Road Rally will once again transform Highway 75 into a “no speed limit” zone to benefit the Blaine County Community Drug Coalition. Drivers will pin the needle right past the county sheriff in search of their cars’ top speeds, all for a good cause. Drivers have a two-mile straightaway to hit their top speed, and another mile to cool it down. In 2009 the cars participating included, among others, Ferraris, Bentleys, Ford Gts and Porsches, and they pushed speeds of 190 mph. The Sun Valley Road Rally will take place on Saturday, July 31 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. between the SNRA and the Baker Creek parking lot north of Ketchum. A viewing area for spectators on the course will offer refreshments, chairs, an announcer and a digital speed display as the drivers pass the speed trap. Parking for the event will be at the Baker Creek parking lot 18 miles north of Ketchum. The event raises money for the Blaine County Drug Coalition which funds programs that improve the health and safety of Blaine County by decreasing alcohol and other drug use among youth. Spectator tickets are available for a suggested tax-deductible donation of $20 ($50 for families) to the Blaine County Drug Coalition. For driver or spectator info, go to www.sunvalleyroadrally.com or call (208) 726-2777.

differ little from other mammals. Think of baboons or dogs, if you wish (or not). Flat as a business may be, lacking old-fashioned layers of management, it’s still important to apply straightforward operational titles to everyone working there, e.g. Head of Information Technology, or Technology Applications Assistant. These titles should also focus on accurately capturing a person’s scope of authority and expertise as defined in his or her job description. This switch in office terminology goes hand in hand with what people seek nowadays in their business environment to help them be happy. While many think it’s simply the monetary rewards of salary, bonus, and health benefits, workplace survey after workplace survey reveals that people put the highest priority on a handful of “softer” elements that typically include: Clarity – achieved by a colleague’s very clear understanding of what outcomes are expected of her or him, to what standard of performance, and with what connection to the business’ overall mission. Responsibility – which means an associate’s valued role in decision-making and meaningful, autonomous work assignments that have a traceable impact on
the business’ bottom line. Recognition – demonstrated through written and verbal appreciation, as well as other kinds of customized rewards for work well done, not dollars per se. Development – provided by continuing education and mentoring toward career possibilities, either in the current business or for the future more generally. Transparency - created by open lines of communication that readily share news and forestall speculation on “what’s happening that we don’t know and should be worrying about?” Whether your business is small or large, it will be valuable to “brand” your prevailing work environment in terms of the ideas shared above: open, flexible, respectful, appreciative, fair, and appropriately rewarding. Create a place which truly invites people to bring all, not just part, of themselves to work. If you’ve done this already, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, you’ll enjoy the twp results.

The upcoming season will be “a dynamic one filled with innovative programming” and offering something for everyone from children’s night to pop night, she added. “And the closing night will be a barn buster!” The Garth Brooks concert at 6:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon is sold out, save for a few $500 tickets that entitle ticket holders to seating in the Pavilion and a pre-concert party of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the Sun Valley Lodge terrace. Brook’s song selection is to be a surprise, but he will perform by himself and with the symphony, said the symphony’s conductor Alasdair Neale. The price of tickets, which is tax deductible, help the symphony pay for its other concerts, which are free. The Sun Valley Summer Symphony is the largest privately funded free-admission symphony in the country. The symphony will mount a 14-by-25-foot LED screen from San Francisco on the left side of the lawn to accommodate 4,000 people who bought $25 lawn tickets for the Garth Brooks concert. The symphony board voted to keep the screen an extra night, in anticipation of keen interest in Itzhak Perlman’s concert, said Reed. Reed said the board is considering this a trial run for the screen but could not keep it longer because of the expensive involved with bringing in a camera crew and operators. “We can’t keep it. But we are so proud to be able to enhance the lawn seating with the large screen,” she said. “It can be seen from everywhere.” Legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman, a violin superstar, will perform Bruch’s “Concerto No. 1 in G Minor for Violin” with the symphony on Monday in an evening that will also feature Tchaikovsky’s “Capriccio Italien.” Perlman was propelled into the international arena with an appearance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1958 and has performed for all the world’s great orchestras, as well as presidents, queens, major movie soundtracks and even “Sesame Street.” He has long collaborated with pianist Emanuel Ax—the most recent collaboration being in May for a “Live from Lincoln Center” broadcast, which included superstar cellist Yo-Yo Ma. “It’s so interesting to have two of those three performing here in
a span of six days,” said Jennifer Teisinger, the symphony’s executive director. Perlman asked to come to Sun Valley through his manager—a move that his manager acknowledged is not his usual way of doing things. But Perlman’s sonin-law Rob Johnson has played French horn with the Sun Valley symphony and he and Perlman’s daughter Aurelia had told the violinist how much fun it was to play in Sun Valley. Perlman’s longtime friend William VerMeulen, the symphony’s principal horn player from the Houston Symphony, also put in his two cents worth when he had lunch with Perlman in Houston several months ago. The concert on Wednesday, Aug. 4, will feature violinist Juliana Athayde and oboe player Robert Atherholt. Selections will be Stravinsky’s “Symphonies of Wind Instruments,” J.S. Bach’s “Concerto for Violin and Oboe in C Minor” and Stravinsky’s Suite from “The Firebird.” A free concert preview will be held at noon that day in The Community School Theater, 181 Dollar Road. “Overall, it’s a very dynamic and exciting season—a season with something for everybody,” said Conductor Alasdair Neale. Neale, who is embarking on his 16th year conducting the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, said performing here with between 90 and 100 of the best professional orchestral musicians from across the country continues to be “absolutely a highlight” of his year. “It’s home away from home,” said Neale, who also serves as music director of the Marin Symphony in San Rafael, Calif. “It always puts a smile on my face when I come into town because you have these beautiful natural surroundings and a community so welcoming and passionate about what we do. It’s twp a slice of heaven.”

briefs Register now for ERC’s Sleepout
The stars are spectacular almost every night in our Valley, but viewing a triple whammy of Mars, Venus and Saturn bunched with the crescent moon, then drifting off to sleep beneath the Perseid Meteor Shower, is extra special. This prolific sky event peaks at 60 or more shooting stars per hour. The Environmental Resource Center invites you to celebrate nature’s extravagance with dinner (donated by McClain’s Pizzeria and The Chocolate Moose), games, nature workshops, and a campfire program, then share Mark Nelson of Shades of Sun Valley’s expertise and high-powered telescope. Lay your sleeping bags in the meadow or wander into cabins as the little ones get sleepy gazing at the stars. Next morning, Perry’s will provide breakfast. The Shooting Star Sleepout occurs Aug. 13 at the Central Idaho 4-H Camp 17 miles north of Ketchum. Cost is $75 for a group of two adults and two children, including meals and cabin space.

Her group will be joined by new traditionalist Kelly Willis. The festival will take place at Hop Porter Park in Hailey. Lisa Haley, touted as having a “one-of-a-kind cornbread voice,” is the fourth-generation in a family of fiddlers dedicated to SwampDance. She and the Zydecats have performed from the Netherlands to Japan and headlined a number of U.S. festivals, including the Maine Lobster Fest and the Palm Springs Jazz Fest. Country music singer Kelly Willis, is an Austin, Texas, gal whose country music album “What I Deserve” was labeled by “Time” magazine as “the smartest, most consistently worthwhile country CD” released in 1999.

“We’re as excited about this show as we’ve ever been about any show,” said Folk Festival Organizer Pete Kramer. “Not only are both headliners female but one of the featured acts leading up to the headliners is female. Lisa Haley has been bugging me for two years to come here because she’s heard so many good things about the festival. And Kelly stands all alone at the top

Fishing R epoRt
The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weeklyâ&#x20AC;? Fishing RepoRT FoR July 28, 2010 â&#x20AC;˘ By: Jim sanTa
A
lthough it seems like it just started, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually reached mid-summer. The river flows are excellent and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing good fishing on all of our local waters. On the Big Wood, Trail Creek and Warm Springs weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a bit of a change in bug activity and prime fishing times. The green drakes are all but gone now and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing some of the smaller mayflies take their place. Pmd and pink albert will be the primary mayflies and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a variety of stoneflies from the smaller yellow sallies to the large golden stones. Fly selection for the current hatches should be size 14-16 mayfly patterns in various colors and stimulator and stonefly patterns sizes 10-14. You may see these bugs almost any time of day, but prime times will be generally between the hours of 10:00 and 2:00 and again after 6:00 when it begins to cool down a bit from the heat of the day. The caddis action in the evenings is beginning to pick up as-well and will become more prominent as we continue into August. 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. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to be early on this one as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Anywhere you choose to fish right now should provide ample opportunity given the best times of day and reasonable fly selection. Most importantly always is presentation, presentation, presentation! Please stop by Sturtevants in both Ketchum and Hailey for the latest information and enjoy your time of the water.

Gimlets in the Garden raises $120,000
The Sawtooth Botanical Garden is proud to announce that nearly $120,000 was raised during the 15 Annual Garden Tour and the Gimlets in the Garden Party, both of which occurred on July 17! This is a record amount of money to have been raised by the Garden that is now in its 16 year. The Garden Tour which focused on homes with water features in Elkhorn, Sun Valley and Ketchum enjoyed a 20% increase over the previous year. The day was capped by the sold out Gimletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Garden Party where $50,000 was given during the exciting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paddle Upâ&#x20AC;? with master of ceremonies R.L. Rowsey of Company of Fools energizing the crowd.

aving a good credit history is more important than you might realize. It gives you approval for major purchases like a car, boat or home, and it can be your ticket to getting better interest rates, too. One of the tools banks like U.S. Bank use to gauge your Charlotte credit worthiness is your Westendorf credit score (also known as a FICO score), which gives creditors an idea of your track record in paying off debt. There are five types of information used to calculate a FICO score: payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, types of credit in use and new credit. Your payment history and amounts owed are the two most significant factors in calculating your FICO score, with the two categories collectively making up 65 percent of your score. Whenever you are applying for credit, your bank will need to contact one or more of the credit reporting agencies to determine your credit score. Although your credit score is affected by number of times lenders make an inquiry into your credit score, the impact is minimal. These inquiries are a part of the smallest category, which accounts for just 10% percent of your total FICO score.

Lucky Peak, the southernmost peak on the Boise Ridge, which supports one of the largest raptor and songbird migrations in the western United States each autumn. There, workers teach international students to monitor the health of bird populations. They count as many as 8,000 raptors of 18 different species each fall. And they band between 1,000 and 2,000 raptors and forest owls each autumn, along with 4,000 to 6,000 songbirds of 100 different species. The observatory hopes eventually to expand to year-round, said Kaltenecker. And they hope to build a bird viewing and interpretive trail at the Barber
Pool Conservation Area. Last year the Hitchins helped observatory workers catch and band raptors and songbirds. And the observatory has scheduled two field trips for that purpose this fallâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;on Sept. 4 and 18â&#x20AC;&#x201D;to watch and band hawks and songbirds. The outings were scheduled around BSU footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule, Kaltenecker said. Kaltenecker encouraged parents in the audience to bring their children on a field trip to the observatory. At least half of those over 50 years of age in the audience grew up on a farm or in a rural area. But that can be said for only 1 percent of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, he said. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kids like to play
inside because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the electrical outlets are. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But tests show that science scores skyrocket when you spend time outdoors,â&#x20AC;? he added.
Observatory at a Glance
The Idaho Bird Observatory research site is open daily from July 16 through Oct. 31, with a daily hawk watch at Lucky Peak each autumn from Aug. 25 through Oct. 31. To get there, take Highway 21 north from Boise and turn left on Highland Valley Road 3.5 miles past Lucky Peak Dam. Follow the signs for Shaw Mountain Road, an unimproved dirt road, for 6.5 miles to the ridge where the camp is nestled in the trees near the radio towers. For more Info 208-327-7099.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, When my ten-year-old son wanted to go camping, I told my husband we would need to buy a tent for the family. Wanting to be a "macho" guy, he bought a 10-foot pop-up camper through the classifieds and had the seller drop it off at our house. I was quite surprised to see it in the driveway, but not as surprised as my husband was when he realized we didn't own a car with a hitch! Since he isn't very mechanically inclined, maybe you can tell me how to go about getting a hitch added to one of our cars? And hurry please! My son is begging us for a trip next weekend.

Cash: Seems like your first
camping trip might be in the driveway. Carry: Although, if you never camped in a pop-up camper before, that may be a good idea. Before you take your camper for a long trip, it's a good idea to sleep in it overnight at your house to make sure everything works. Cash: The last thing you need is to be miles from home only to realize the appliances don't work. Carry: Or worse, the toilet! Cash: As for the hitch, you need

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 07/25/10 ©2010 The Classified Guys®
to read your car's manual to see if a towing package can be added to the vehicle. Most mid-size cars, pickup trucks and SUV's can accommodate a hitch very easily. However if you have a small economy car, the towing capacity may be limited. Carry: Once you determine if your car will accommodate a hitch, you have two options. You can mount the hitch yourself or have your dealership or mechanic do it for you. Cash: If you choose to do it yourself, you'll need a hitch and wiring harness that are designed to fit your car. Most automotive stores can help you find the correct parts to fit your make and
model. It's also possible to find hitches for sale in the classifieds, but it's important to know the exact parts you need for your vehicle before buying anything. Carry: Since your husband seems to be mechanically challenged, it may be a good idea to have the hitch professionally installed. Contact your local mechanic or dealership to have them help you with parts or installation. Cash: With any luck, you could have a hitch installed just in time for your camping trip. And with your husband's "macho" enthusiasm, you should have one big campfire!

If you're looking for a good campground on your next trip, you have a lot of choices. According to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association, there are over 16,000 public and private campgrounds nationwide. And if you're not in the mood to "roughit", consider one of the newer luxury campsites. Some of these feature marble floored bathhouses, room service to your tent or wireless internet for your laptop. It could be so cozy that you may not want to go home. Nothing can ruin a beautiful night of camping like a campsite full of mosquitoes. Despite your best efforts to hide, they always seem to find you. It's not your perfume though. Mosquitoes find you by sensing the carbon dioxide and lactic acid emitted from your body, from distances as far as 100 feet away. They are also very efficient at detecting heat and can zero in on any warm-blooded creature once they get close enough. So remember to bring a good mosquito repellant on your next camping trip. •

As a state trooper I am often the first one to arrive after an auto accident. Last week I was dispatched to the scene of an accident where a gentleman ran off the road into a guardrail. Upon arriving, I realized the accident was more involved and included a camper trailer that crashed into the embankment as well. The gentleman driving explained that he was completely surprised when he saw the camper trailer pass him on the road. "What was so surprising about it?" I asked him. Still dazed from the accident, he replied, "I was towing that camper!"

Last wildflower walk, this Thursday near Fox Creek Photos & Story By KAREN BOSSICK
T
he troupe walking through the overgrowth at the end of Deer Creek Canyon resemble detectives. They pull leaves back with their hiking poles so they can see what’s underneath, they pull out magnifying glasses to study a checkered butterfly, they pick off leaves of plants and roll them in their fingers before sniffing them and they even sample a few of the berries they find. Occasionally, one pulls off a flower and presses it in their book to take back to study some more. It’s the weekly Wildflower Walk of the Sawtooth Botanical Garden—a ritual where participants truly do slow down and smell the roses. “I love to bring my children out to things like this,” said Hailey resident Stephanie McCord, who had 6-year-old Braxton and 4-year-old Skylark in tow. “They see parts of the valley they don’t normally get to see. They learn so much. And they meet new people.” “I like the purple ones,” said Braxton, adding her two cents worth about sticky geraniums. “I love those.”
On this particular day, nearly two dozen participants have ventured into a wooded canyon northwest of Hailey that once was home to several mining operations but now is primarily used by hunters and a few mountain bikers and hikers. The woods have come alive with white chokecherry blossoms, the pink antennae of Dusty Maiden on white asterlike flowers, hot rock penstemon tinged in blue and the red trumpet-like flowers of scarlet gilia, which are perfectly designed for any hummingbirds that might nose around them. “The horsetail is one of the oldest plants known to man,” said Allison Kennedy, who is leading the trip with Jeanne Cassell. She picks up one of the rushlike plants and pulls it apart at one joint. Then she pushes the part she’d pulled off back into the plant, successfully putting it back together again. Because of its high silica content, Indians used it to polish wooden tools while pioneers used it to clean pots and pans, she says. Nearby, Kennedy spots a clump of stinging nettle. “Soldiers said they subsisted on nettle tea during the World
Checkered Butterfly War,” Dallas resident Sue Varner tells Kennedy. “If it hadn’t been for nettle tea, they would have perished.” Connie Pepper points out an unusual three-foot tall red flowering plant, which looks like a domestic penstemon she has at home. “There are 200 kinds of penstemon,” responds Jeanne Cassell. “We should see five kinds today,” she says, adding that penstemon leaves are always opposite one another on the stem. They continue past Jacob’s ladder, so named because its leaves resemble a ladder. Kennedy pulls off a piece of gray rabbit brush and passes it around. “We call it a rubber rabbit brush because it smells latexy,” she says. “It’s important to look, feel, smell and sometimes taste plants, in addition to looking at them.”
Cow parsnip plants can grow up to 9 feet high. The plant is said to be edible. But it looks enough like the extremely poisonous water hemlock that most people leave it alone.
“You have to be careful, though,” she adds. “Chokecherry has cyanide so if you eat too many you can get sick. It’s okay to eat some, though. The Indians used to dry the berries and use them in stews.” This year’s wildflowers walks have gone as far afield as Silver Creek Preserve near Picabo to Apollo Creek in the Baker Creek area north of Ketchum this year in search of unusual blooms. Last week’s walk, for instance, took participants past bog or-
chids and monkshoods . The Botanical Garden will hold its last wildflower walk of the season from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday. Preliminary plans are to head to the Fox Creek Loop near Ketchum to see the cornucopia of wild hollyhocks that have arisen in the wake of the 2007 Castle Rock Fire. Walkers should meet at the garden at Highway 75 and Gimlet Road south of Ketchum. Cost is 10 for Garden members and twp $15 for non-members.
