Marty Lyon said he felt like a TV celebrity as he showed volunteers how to most effectively plant the perennials.

It took a community to build the Alpine and Montane gardens at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden at the corner of Highway 75 and Gimlet Road.

Marty and Mila Lyon provided the lion’s share of the funds, with a $50,000 donation. Others have provided in-kind contributions, including Joe’s Backhoe, Evergreen Landscaping, Eggers Associates, Alpine Enterprises and Jaykers Nursery.

The garden will toast their efforts with a celebratory party from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Aug. 18 at the garden. Refreshments will be served.

ground to stand in for each plant between 80 yards of granite rock that had been shoveled onto the berm.

Lyon got a mining permit to mine the rock at the Johnson Quarry near Fairfield, which offers it at a dollar per yard.

Bobbie Dahl said the massive planting paled in contrast to that which she does each spring for her little garden at home.

“I’ve learned so much from Marty about planting,” she said.

“Always before, I’ve just thrown things in and watered them.” twp

he Sawtooth Botanical Garden grew by 500 perennials this past week and it’s expected to grow by another 600 or 700 as volunteers finish planting the garden’s new Alpine Garden.

A Montane Garden featuring plants just below the alpine zone, which is also under construction, will add another hundred or so flowers to the garden.

Five volunteers, including Garden Director Carter Hedberg, gathered around Hailey landscape architect Marty Lyon Thursday morning as Lyon provided instructions for planting the pots of Shasta daisies, elfin pink penstemon, gaillardia Arizona, campanella blue chips and Russian sage.

“Treat each plant like a newborn,” he told them. “If you’ve had kids, you know it’s tougher than what you think.”

Remove the plants from their pots, freeing the roots that have been compacted, he told them.

Drop the plant in its hole and water it generously, saturating the roots. Water the plant again after covering the roots with dirt. And, then, water it again at the end of the day.

“You can never water too much,” he said.

“What if I see my plant floating downhill?” asked Kaye Kearns.

Lyon, the botanical garden’s board president, said that he and naturalist Carol Blackburn compiled a list of 125 native and cultivated varieties of plants that they could have chosen for the garden. Many of the species they are using are native, but the variety is not. There may, for instance, be a penstemon that’s more commonly found in California than Idaho.

Lyon and Blackburn then determined where each plant was to go, sticking colored flags in

ick was born and raised in Carey. The Baird family was among the first settlers of what became known as Carey. In fact, Robert Simpson says that the Bairds only got there before the Simpsons because the Bairds had a buckboard wagon and the Simpsons were on foot!

In 1970, Rick joined the Army and began his first career, spanning 20 years of military service, including a combat tour of duty in the Republic of Viet Nam. It was during this career, that Rick and Diane met. Diane was an “Army Brat” the affectionate term for a child raised in the family of a career Army soldier, which her father was. Diane also served for 6 years in the Army, which is how she and Rick met.

Rick and Diane were married in 1973; shortly after that, they began their family and were blessed with two sons, Neil and Eric.

In 1989, Rick retired from the Army as a First Sergeant and despite numerous attractive offers of opportunities in various parts of the country, he and Diane chose to return to Carey and Blaine County, to continue their lives, raise their boys and re-discover the satisfaction of the family ranch. Upon their return, Rick and Diane found

themselves again drawn to public service; Rick immediately accepted a position as an Air Traffic Controller at Friedman Memorial Airport and Diane began a career with the Blaine County Treasurer’s Office. In April of this year, Diane retired from that position after a 20 year career. Rick’s career path at the Airport led him to become the Airport Operations Chief and eventually, Airport Manager; a position he has held now for 16 years.

Again, in keeping with a pattern of public service, Diane supported Rick’s participation in local government and service when he became a Carey City Councilman for 2 years and then Carey Mayor for 12 years. Additionally, Rick served for 7 years on the Blaine County Consolidated Hospital Board and 8 years on the Blaine Manor Board of Directors. Basically, in 40 years, Rick and Diane have managed to give 75 combined years of service to Country and Community and are not done yet.

In their spare time, Rick likes hunting and fishing with his dogs; Rick and Diane both love visiting with their son Eric in Twin Falls and their extended family here in Idaho as well as in Kansas and Illinois, where their son Neil, daughter-in-law Mel and their two children reside.

t’s been a busy year for 4-H. The year started out with lambs, calves and piglets, and was followed by weigh-ins and shots and getting the right feed, plus the hope that the animals will be where they should be by fair time.

The animals have to make weight to be sold. There are horses, rabbits, chickens and dogs. These projects all require handling that includes grooming and showing. Club members must know information like the different breeds and how to care for them. 4-H clubs include sewing and cooking, music, photography, quilting, leadership, KYG

and Cloverbuds. These clubs all require projects to be made and put on display.

Then there are the record books. The plan is to get them done early, but it seems that we do them the last two weeks. It is like doing schoolwork!

The fair also has an open class. This is for anybody in the county. They can enter an article, a display, a picture, baked and canned goods, woodwork, antiques, flowers and sewing.

Sewing includes quilts, embroidery, an article of clothing, crocheting and knitting.

The fair also has a scarecrow contest, a rodeo, barbecue, and transportation from Ketchum to Carey. Some come and have fun at the fair! twp

Ron Taylor to be honored as Grand Marshal of Bellevue’s Labor Day Parade

The City of Bellevue and the Bellevue Labor Day Celebration Committee announce the selection of Ron Taylor as the grand marshal of the 2010 Labor Day Parade. The parade will take place on Monday, Sept. 6, 2010 at 1 p.m. with Taylor and his wife Vivian traveling the route down Bellevue’s Main Street in a vintage convertible.

Taylor has been married for 44 years and has a daughter, Tammara Fox, and two grandchildren.

movie review

Jon rated this movie

It is impossible to praise the performances in this film too much nor to underrate the nuance and humanity concealed beneath the layers of their characters. None really stands out above the other, but the roles of the children are central and definitely don’t disappoint, especially Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) who brings all the complexities of a seventeenyear-old to the surface. Written and directed by Lisa Cholodenko with a skill rarely seen these days The Kids Are All Right is sure to steal your heart. twp

This week’s Horoscopes: the days continue to get shorter The Druids were a sun-worshiping crew of Celtic priests and learned folks who on a day much like today, only in ancient times, celebrated the sun god Lugh. This week brings the halfway mark of summer. The days continue to get shorter, but the sun keeps giving.

The evidence is in the balmy air, in the harvest of figs and grain and in the glow we transmit when we bask in its warm, generous mood.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may be dealing with circumstances that seem less than ideal -- bad service in a restaurant, no help at the hardware store, a lack of cooperation from the general public. Uphold your own standards of character and you will turn this into a win.

You treat people well, and they will do the same for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If everyone’s self-esteem were as high as yours is at times this week, the world would be a better place. Just because you have high self-esteem doesn’t mean you think others are less valuable than you. You stand for equality. You want to offer your best. Believing in yourself makes it possible for you to do this.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As you talk about the world from your point of view, you’ll attract attention. Others don’t see it your way.

They may disagree or even insult you with an argument. You can learn from all the other points of view, and this ballard may influence you some.

You’ll mentally expand and still be your own person.

CANCER (June 22July 22). You’ll be swept into a mission of your own making. Does this mean you’re selfish? You might appear that way to some, but the truth of the matter is that everyone will be better off because you have the confidence and motivation to pursue your dreams and make them real.

Stay kind and compassionate along the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

There will be instances this week in which you will prefer to be left alone to handle matters privately. However, this isn’t always going to

be possible. Fortify your personal boundaries so that even when you are with others you’ll feel safe and secure in the bubble of your own energy field. This can be done through meditation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). All relationships require space. The trick is to figure out the amount of space that will bring about the most beneficial feeling for both parties. Consider the harmony of voices: As the distance between two tones widens and contracts, the chord changes from minor to major. Play with this idea in a relationship this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In this digital age, much can be accomplished according to your own personal clock. You can communicate and work in the wee hours, and others answer and contribute when it’s convenient for them. This week you’ll find there are some things that absolutely have to happen at the same time. When possible, meet in person.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll grapple with larger issues. Perspective will be everything. Grace and timing go hand in hand. The glare of the sun can make things appear harsh and difficult. Likewise, the dark always makes problems scarier. Morning is your best thinking time. Everything will look better in the soft, early morning sunshine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Wednesday 8.4.10

You might mess up. It’s proof that you’re stretching. If you were to stay within the boundaries of what you know, you wouldn’t make such mistakes. The mistakes prove your desire for expansion, knowledge, experience -- your winning spirit.

You’ll take responsibility and try not to do the same thing again.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The world will be better off this week because you assume a position of power. The amateurs assume that this is the front of the line, the first row of the classroom and the driver’s seat. You, however, might find that you have more influence when you take things in from the back of the line, the room or the bus.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Challenge motivates you, as does the promise of attention. You will be greatly admired when you complete this monstrosity of a task. Of course, once you get into it, all your original motivation fades away and you devote yourself solely to the work. The work itself is where all the sweetness of life is released.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll wear yourself out trying to make sure everyone is taken care of, while less hospitable types order everyone around as though the rest of the world is filled with their servants. And the funny part is, there are those who are more comfortable being ordered around than being taken care of. Strive for balance.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: There is nothing complicated about your personal life. Any quirks, glitches and confusing aspects will quickly become a thing of the past as you hunker down and do the work to make relationships rich, meaningful and close. You’ll be celebrated over the next three weeks. October brings an award or a reward of some kind.

December brings a renovation or a move. March is passionate. You won’t mind traveling or spending a good deal of money to quench your heart’s desire. twp

family foundations. These foundations provide a vehicle or focus within the family to work towards common social goals and promote giving to future generations, permitting young and old to collaborate on these topics.

The cost to establish and administer a family foundation can be prohibitive for all but the most committed donors. In addition to set-up costs, foundations must meet a required minimum payout each year and provide access to information, complete reporting and public disclosures that may prove a burdensome counterweight to other charitable vehicles. Donors should consult their tax advisors to seek a more thorough evaluation of one charitable vehicle over another, particularly in view of the donorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own circumstances.

The fourth quarter is a good time to consider the best way to give in view of your plans and objectives. You can plan ahead by putting funding vehicles in place to facilitate year-end giving. When it comes to tax-wise giving, who knows? It might feel bettwp ter than you think.

The art of the chain

A good chain makes the difference between a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple stringing of beads and jewelry youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to wear and give as gifts.

On August 10 and 11, San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;area jeweler Alison B. Antelman will teach a two-day workshop in the fundamentals of chain-making for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.

Students will learn to use a jewelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saw, to coil and cut jump rings and to fabricate a bracelet using pliers. In addition, students will make samples of different varieties of chain patterns and learn to make woven chains using a textile technique. All students will leave the class wearing a handmade Byzantine sterling silver bracelet and with samples, tools and the knowledge to further explore chain-making on their own.

To see examples of Antelmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, go to www.antelman.com. And be sure to visit her booth at the Arts & Crafts Festival in Atkinson Park August 13â&#x20AC;&#x201C;15!

To register, visit www.sunvalleycenter.org, stop by The Center in Ketchum or call 208-726-9491, ext. 10.

More information on this and all Sun Valley Center classes is available online at www.sunvalleycenter.org.

Having started with Christieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in 1978, Edmeades is one of the most sought-after auctioneers for high-profile international auctions conducting over 40 such sales a year.

ARTrageous will feature a select number of 10 spectacular pieces. Offering art exclusively differentiates this event from other benefits and gives artists and galleries an opportunity to showcase their work and broaden recognition for the quality pieces they produce. Both modern masterpieces and local treasures in a variety of mediums have been selected.

Fishing R epoRt

The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR AugusT 4, 2010 • By: Jim sAnTA

A

lthough it seems like it just started, we’ve actually reached mid-summer. The river flows are excellent and we’re seeing good fishing on all of our local waters. On the Big Wood, Trail Creek and Warm Springs we’ve seen a bit of a change in bug activity and prime fishing times. Pmd and pink albert will be the primary mayflies and we’ll see a variety of stoneflies, primarily the smaller yellow sallies with some large golden stones still present. We’re beginning to see grasshoppers around the valley now and we’ll be starting to test these patterns 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 9:00 and 1:00 and after 7:00 in the evening. Towards dusk the caddis action has been picking up so bring a headlamp and fish into dark. This last hour can be the hottest action of the day.

Down at Silver Creek the main attraction has been 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 and hoppers are in the grass now so this will become a major player. The late evening has been very good on the creek as-well.

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.

Maricich on weight loss and menopause

W

hy do women gain weight in menopause?

The obvious answer is hormones! That’s true, but it may not be the hormones you think. Estrogen is commonly blamed; however, cortisol and insulin play a significant role as well. Cortisol is the stress hormone and it is produced by the adrenal glands. Insulin is the main hormone that regulates blood sugar and it is directly affected by cortisol and diet.

Nearly everybody on the planet has accumulated the effects of stress and overtaxed their adrenal glands throughout life. Then, as a woman approaches menopause, the ovaries diminish their production of sex hormones. The body shifts some of the production of sex hormones to the adrenal glands. Now the already overtaxed adrenals have to produce whatever sex hormones you will have in menopause. If cortisol levels weren’t out of range to start with, they probably will be now, as the adrenals have to work even harder. Weight gain is a symptom of a system being out of balance.

Cortisol has a direct affect on weight gain. It tells your body to store fat! Also, as cortisol levels fluctuate, it causes insulin to fluctuate. Rises in insulin lead to insulin resistance, which causes your body to convert blood sugar to fat before it can be used for energy! Lack of energy to the cells causes you to eat more and perhaps suffer sugar cravings.

Insulin resistance leads to more strain on the adrenals and the pattern perpetuates itself.

The two most important things you can do to restore balance of cortisol and insulin are reduce carbohydrate intake and participate in moderate exercise.

Reducing carbohydrate intake

means no sugar and eating minimal starchy foods. Moderate exercise does not mean heavy exercise, as that will strain the adrenals further. Other things that can help are reducing inflammation from food allergies and digestive disturbance, eliminating toxins by doing a gentle detox program and making sure you get proper rest. Your holistic health practitioner can help with these things. Stress-reducing modalities such as massage, light touch chiropractic, acupuncture and yoga are also recommended.

Another factor that can cause weight gain in menopause is neurotransmitters. As estrogen levels drop so does serotonin.

Low serotonin can cause cravings and weight gain. Often norepinephrine and epinephrine are low also. These neurotransmitters are required in order for your body to use fat for energy.

Any of the neurotransmitters being out of balance can also cause depression and sleep disturbances.

If you are one of those women who feels like she has done everything right and you are still not satisfied with your weight, try the hCG diet. This diet resets the part of the brain that regulates hormones and metabolism. It works great for menopausal weight gain, and it’s fast. Most women will lose 1/2 to 1 pound a day on the program.

You do not have to accept the twp middle-aged spread.

The summer BBQ

A

s we roll on into summer one of the first things we all think about is barbeque! Grill the meat, drink some beer, and enjoy the weather. Sixty million Americans will fire up the grill during summer holidays, so we would like to present some options to help make your summer barbeques more environmentally friendly!

Did you know that a charcoal grill emits 11 pounds of CO2 per hour, whereas a propane grill emits 6 pounds?

First thing we can do to promote a happier environment is to buy local. You have the benefit of having some excellent local meat and seafood. You can shop from Idaho’s Bounty, the Sustainability Center, and Atkinsons’ Market. BUY IT, GRILL IT, EAT IT.

A Tip to Try:

When you prep the grill, rub w/onions instead of chemical spray.

Reduce the trash you create during these festivities by using reusable plates, utensils, cups and napkins. I know the last thing the hosts want to do is a big load of dishes, but if you ask, usually a happy guest will help.

Encourage your friends to bring reusable containers for leftovers.

Reduce the waste you create by drinking beer out of a keg. This does create an initial investment, but you will be surprised at how many friends will pitch in $5 and avoid a trip to the store. Plus, it is definitely the best value and you can use it for multiple events. twp

briefs Bellevue Labor Day to include a 5K Fun Run/Walk for BFD

Cox, your friend in the digital age, is pleased to sponsor the first Bellevue Labor Day 5K Fun Run/Walk, starting and ending at Bellevue Memorial Park, on Monday, September 6 at 9 a.m.

Registration will only cost $10, with kids 10 and under welcome to join for free.

Registration is available online at bluecirclesports.com for an additional $2.95 or you can request a registration form via e-mail at bellevuelaborday@ gmail.com.

Registration forms can also be picked up at Guffy’s and Giddy-Up Coffee.

All paid entrants will receive a gift bag, provided by Cox, and be entered into a drawing to win a prize package including an iPod shuffle, Visa giftcard and more gifts from Cox. The easy and flat route starts and ends at Bellevue Memorial Park and goes through scenic Bellevue neighborhoods, including Bayhorse and Muldoon Canyon roads.

All proceeds will benefit the Bellevue Fire Department—an all-volunteer department that in recent years has seen funding decrease, like so many organizations. Sara Burns, part of both the Bellevue Haunted Forest and Bellevue Labor Day Celebration planning committees, thought of the event to originally raise money for the Bellevue Labor Day Celebration itself, but with the addition of the Micky and the Motorcars benefit concert, thought the event would be an excellent fundraiser for the Bellevue Fire Department, which also raises money with their dunk tank as part of the Bellevue Labor Day Celebration.

The Bellevue Labor Day Celebration takes place on Sunday, September 5, and Monday, September 6, and includes a parade down Main Street on Sunday at 1 p.m. and live music and food and arts/crafts vendors in the park both days.

We are also looking for volunteers to help with the Bellevue Labor Day Celebration events. If interested or for more information contact Sara Burns at 309-1513 or bellevuelaborday@ gmail.com. You can also visit our Web site at www.facebook.com/bellevuelaborday

Fun Run for seniors

On September 25 the Senior Connection and Mountain West Bank are holding a 5K fun run to raise dollars to support the Meals on Wheels and Vital Transportation in Blaine County.

There will be food, music, information booths and retail booths.

The cost is a donation for non-profits, $20 for all tables selling product and $20 for profit organizations.

Space is limited. Booths will be set up from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We expect 300 to 400 people, maybe more.

If you would like to give out information, sell, or have a booth for any other reason, please let me know so that we can get you an application.

brooks...................................................................................... from pg 1 singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie.â&#x20AC;?

Brooks played an hour and a half solo, offering humorous stories about the songs and artists that influenced him as he sang snatches of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mrs. Robinson,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Midnight Cowboy,â&#x20AC;? Cat Stevensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wild World,â&#x20AC;? Otis Reddingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sittinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the Dock of the Bayâ&#x20AC;? and even Elton Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rocket Man.â&#x20AC;?

And then he prompted a roar from the crowd by trotting out surprise guest Trisha Yearwood, whom he described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;my best friend.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Entertainment 101: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever follow that,â&#x20AC;? he said, after performing a couple of duets with her.

Then Brooks put the Sun Valley Summer Symphony to work as it provided the thunder and lightning for his hit song â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Thunder Rollsâ&#x20AC;? on its metal sheet and kettle drums and the soft strains of strings on Don McLeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Starry Starry Night.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard them perform â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Starry Starry Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Okay they can just end it here,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Nancy Humphrey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They own the town now.â&#x20AC;?

Kelly Sinnott was the first to stake out her seat for the lawn seating, showing up at 6 in the morning. She was eventually joined by 4,000 lawn ticketholders plus hundreds more who took up seats outside the fenced-off area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made new friends with lots of people from Boise, Twin and Idaho Falls,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting that she spent more than 12 hours on site before the concert even began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have missed this. This was on my bucket list.â&#x20AC;?

Brooks flew in Friday and promptly charmed the locals with the breezy down-home way he told his greeters to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just throw the guitar in the back.â&#x20AC;? He and his wife were reportedly just as charmed by such Sun Valley amenities as the bike path.

Jennifer Edmonds had an unexpected Garth encounter when she happened across the singer after he finished the afternoon sound check while she was riding her bicycle past the Pavilion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I rode up to him and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can I take your picture?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sure, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your name?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she recounted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a couple others there and they said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can we have pictures, too?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

gard and George Jones, as he sang snatches of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mama Triedâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Grand Tour.â&#x20AC;? And he recalled how in 1980 his life was forever changed as a senior in high school when he heard George Strait singing on the radio.

Then he revealed his own awe at legends like James Taylor as he crooned â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sweet Baby James,â&#x20AC;? with an emotion that often kept him doubled over at the waist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to dedicate this next very touching piece to the people behind me,â&#x20AC;? Brooks said, motioning toward the symphony musicians as the end of the two-plushour concert approached.

A roar went up from the crowd, which jumped to its feet, as he played the opening chord to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friends in Low Places.â&#x20AC;?

A woman in a black cocktail dress engaged him in a little dance at the foot of the stage while others rushed the stage to do some fist butting.

Brooks ended with â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dance,â&#x20AC;? laying down on the stage to pose for pictures with fans behind him. Then he returned for a final encore, drawing conductor Alasdair Neale in to sing a few â&#x20AC;&#x153;la, la, lasâ&#x20AC;? on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Piano Man.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow!â&#x20AC;? said Marci Blatt, as a prolonged ovation resounded around her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a big Garth Brooks fan before, but I am now,â&#x20AC;? said Nancy Mulroney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved the whole thing to death,â&#x20AC;? said Orlie Sather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just so lucky to live here and be twp able to enjoy all this.â&#x20AC;?

ot too many people could have successfully followed the thunderous hype that surrounded Garth Brooks and the Sun Valley Summer Symphony Sunday night.

Luckily, we had Itzhak Perlman.

The man heralded as the greatest violinist of the 20th century garnered the same deafening applause that surrounded Brooks the night before.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, nearly 500 people turned out to see Perlman at the rehearsal earlier in the afternoon, joining orchestra members as they rose to their feet to applaud him as he made his way across stage on braces.

Perlmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fingers more than made up for what his legs, which contracted polio at 4, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do.

They nimbly raced across the frets of his violin, as he wove a tapestry of ethereal sounds most violinists can only dream of.

Donny Hung, a student with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony School of Music was fixated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like his style,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all about power and speed. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so amazing.â&#x20AC;?

A few hours later, Perlman returned to the stage where some 1,600 people in a packed Pavilion and a couple thousand more outside watched every move as he played Bruchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Concerto No. 1 in G Minor for Violin. He tucked a handkerchief between his neck and his violin, pulling it out during interludes to wipe his face.

A couple times during his performance he threw his head back to drink in the sound of the symphony behind him. Then he obliged the applause with an encore of John Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theme from Schindlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s List.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fabulous,â&#x20AC;? said Ketchum resident Joyce Ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And to think we got to see this. A woman from New York told me that it would have cost us $250 a ticket to see this back there. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s if we could have even gotten tickets.â&#x20AC;? twp

Two hours before the concert started, nearly 1,600 Pavilion ticketholders gathered on the Sun Valley Lodge Terrace to enjoy cocktails, pot stickers and other hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from Nashville and we never did anything like this before Garth Brooks concerts,â&#x20AC;? marveled one woman as she watched from the outdoor ice rink.

Lawn goers, who showed up toting everything from oxygen tanks to walkers, watched video of past concerts stream across a giant screen while they munched on hot dogs served up by Sun Valley and chicken wings theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d brought from home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no way I was missing this,â&#x20AC;? said Ron Heller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the happening of the summer.

Garth Brooks is the biggest in the world.â&#x20AC;?

The crowd gave a standing ovation to casino magnate and Sun Valley homeowner Steve Wynn, who first brought Brooks out of retirement to play in his Las Vegas casino and then brought Brooks to the Pavilion to play the benefit for the symphony.

Brooks gave his boss a hug before picking up his guitar and getting down to business.

World-renowned violinist Izhtak Perlman, who would perform the next evening, watched from the audience, as did several members of Sun Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holding family.

Rocky Mountain Ranch.

The Sawtooth Adventures Take-A-Hike group will meet at 8:30 a.m. that Saturday for a five-mile day hike up Fishhook Creek following a ceremony of prayer flags. Lunch will follow at the Redfish Lake beach.

Cost per hiker is $25 and each hiker is expected to raise at least $250 more. A prize will be awarded the top fundraiser.

Such adventures were the brainchild of Expedition Inspiration founder Laura Evans, a former Sun Valley resident who thought such outings could not only raise money to fight breast cancer, but offer inspiration

to those who were fighting the disease.

Seventeen breast cancer survivors on the first climb in 1995 of Argentinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mt. Aconcagua raised more than $2 million for breast cancer research.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adventure is sponsored by Sawtooth Mountain Guides, Smith Sport Optics, Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch, We Know Computers, Judyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Design House and Sperry Van Ness.

he Elephantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perch has long given climbers a thrill as they scramble up its dramatic 2,400-foot-tall dome.

And now it will give a boost to breast cancer research.

The Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research will hold a climb on Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best version of Yosemiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Half Dome on Aug. 13 and 14.

And that same weekend Expedition Inspiration will sponsor Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-ever Take-A-Hike on the Fishhook Creek Trail at Redfish Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done Take-A-Hikes in Seattle and Los Angeles, but this is the first time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done one here,â&#x20AC;? said Robyn Marrelli, who works at Smith Sport Optics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice for someone like me who is not a climber and has no interest in climbing but wants to participate in the cause.â&#x20AC;?

The Sawtooth Adventures-Elephantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perch climb group will be guided by Sawtooth Mountain Guides on a non-technical route of the Elephantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perch, which sits in the area of Saddleback Lakes two-and-a-half miles from the Redfish Lake inlet.

Cost is $250 per climber and each climber is expected to raise an additional $2,500 through pledges or other means to help fund cutting-edge breast cancer research projects. The group will leave on Friday, camp overnight and enjoy a celebration dinner Saturday night at the Idaho

Found near the lakes in the Sawtooth Mountains Photo and Story By KAREN BOSSICK

C

lumps of white mountain heather are growing near lakes in the Sawtooth Mountains, including the McGowan Lakes where this one was spotted.

You can’t hear them ring, but they seem to resemble miniature white bells nodding a welcome in the gentle mountain breeze.

The flowers are characterized by five white petals that curl backwards and bright red stems and sepals. Supporting them is a low, evergreen-like shrub with scale-like leaves.

The flower is generally found at or near timberline—white Arctic mountain heather is frequently found in the Arctic, Alaska, northern Norway and even Greenland, where it’s used as fuel. But it can be found as far south as California.

Reportedly, Indians used a decoction of heather to treat tuberculosis.

Artists’ Market seeks students

Thanks to The Sun Valley Center for the Arts, The Artists’ Market is now able to offer local students an opportunity to show and sell their work—without a booth fee—at our local weekly event in Ketchum and Hailey. The Center is covering booth fees for students who have an art or craft they would like to sell at one of the markets. This can be a great experience for budding artists to try out the market without a long-term commitment or booth fee, and to make a little extra summer cash in the process.

So far we have three artists requesting dates in August and early September. Offerings include recycled bottles, turned stained glass vases, jewelry, felted soaps and body scrubs.

Limited space is still available for both Ketchum and Hailey markets and we would love to fill up our dates with a variety of student offerings!

The Artists’ Market is in its fourth year for Hailey, and second for Ketchum. We have over 30 artists in rotation throughout the summer to offer visitors and locals a variety of handmade products. This year we have everything from beautiful high-quality jewelry, pottery, custom pillows and stone work, to wood bowls and dog dish holders, professional photography, piñatas and eco-cool bags made from recycled animal feed bags.

The market runs Tuesdays in Ketchum in the New Town Square, just across from Atkinsons’ Market, from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m., and in Hailey on Main Street from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Language in garden

The Hope Garden is growing more than plants this summer. Beginning Monday, Aug. 2, The Hunger Coalition introduced “Language in the Garden,” a new program open to bilingual community members to enrich language skills and cultural understanding.

Participants will gather at The Hope Garden on Monday evenings from 5–6 p.m.

Just as plants need tending, so do our language skills. Understanding this, “Language in the Garden” seeks to improve the communication skills of intermediate level bilingual English and Spanish speakers through weekly practice sessions. Participants will work side by side in The Hope Garden while alternating between English and Spanish during each weekly gathering.

Conversation will focus on a pre-determined topic while inviting personal input and interpretation. Small projects such as weeding, general garden maintenance, and planting provides for an easy-going, comfortable atmosphere where people can relax and enjoy the experience. Working together with La Alianza, the College of Southern Idaho and other community agencies, The Hunger Coalition hopes “Language in the Garden” will foster new friendships and open up new opportunities for all participants.

Sculpting willows Gemstone Bead Show Precious & Semi-Precious Colored Gemstones & Beads Silver/Gold Findings

Dougherty’s sculpture will stay for two years

By RIAN ERVIN

“I

t’s like being ten again and building a fort,” says Bob Brock, a local volunteer who has been helping internationally known instillation artist Patrick Dougherty construct a colossal woven willow branch sculpture across from the Ketchum Post Office.

Commissioned by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Dougherty has been working with local volunteers, hired helpers, and a few interested drop-ins for the past three weeks to build his sculpture. Dougherty’s artistic creation provides a playful contrast to the surrounding town, resembling a kind of magical structure straight out of a fantasy world.

Hailing from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Dougherty has created more than 200 sculptures all over the world. Dougherty’s work is truly unique, and although he doesn’t pinpoint a specific inspiration, Dougherty says he finds it very interesting to work with natural materials because of our ancestors.

“I am kind of building in their shadow,” he explains. “Nature is really man’s first building material, and I am constantly learning how our ancestors would have figured it out.” Dougherty typically builds with willow when working in the West; in the case of his present sculpture, the willow branches were harvested from trees south of Bellevue.

When commissioned for a piece of work, Dougherty arrives on location, generally without a specific idea of what he is going to build. The shapes of his sculptures vary based upon available materials. Tending to rely on his creative instincts, Dougherty simply begins a sculpture and watches it emerge. He applies a three-week building time limit to each of his sculptures, and therefore the average size of his pieces is based upon what he can build within this time frame. His sculptures are incredibly sturdy, and with proper care they last up to two years.

Dougherty says that he is always most inspired by the piece

Dougherty’s sculpture is built out of woven willow branches, specifically cut and twisted together.

“I enjoy the process, the energy and working with the people involved.”

–Patrick Dougherty Artist, Willow Sculptor

that he is currently working on.

“I enjoy the process, the energy, and working with the people involved,” he says. Dougherty doesn’t always have volunteers help him, but when he does, he finds the public to be supportive.

“They are always amazed at what seems unlikely or surprising,” he adds. Local volunteer Scott Tabor has put about 60 hours of work into the sculpture.

Tabor explains how Dougherty goes over basic technique with his volunteers, working on a quick learning curve and then coming by periodically to guide and check the volunteers.

Dougherty’s work is truly spectacular, and our Valley is lucky to have such a unique artistic addition for the next few years. twp

Benefit art auction

Wednesday 8.4.10

By KAREN BOSSICK

W

endy Jaquet is most famously known as a longtime hard-working state representative from Blaine County.

But you can add the title “potter” to her name now.

Jaquet is one of several local “movers and shakers,” including actress Claudia McCain and Librarian Colleen Daly, who have constructed pieces for Boulder Mountain Clayworks’ annual auction on Aug. 11.

The art auction will be held from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Clayworks Art Gallery across Highway 75 from the Knob Hill Inn. This year’s auction will feature the work of renowned artists like David Devillier, Diane Taylor and Gordon Webster, as well as punch bowl set donated

by Susan Ward, a large serving bowl donated by Lauren Street and even a textured torso wall piece by Mary Ann Chubb.

Clay demonstrations will be offered on the hour, with guests bidding on the finished pieces and selecting their own glazes.

Mojitos and tacos will be offered and the music will play.

Jaquet said she thought her art career was over as a youngster when a Scout leader told her she lacked the original creativity necessary to be an artist.

But she enjoyed the experience of working with Clayworks.

“It’s therapeutic, don’t you think?” she said.

Mary Ann Chubb has long known that.

She has been working at the Boulder Mountain Clayworks Studio for 14 years and cannot stay away.

“Working with clay is a bit like working in the garden,” she said.

“You get a little messy, but it’s time well spent. Like working the soil, clay is so elemental and earthy. It’s soothing and relax-

ing to just hold the clay, never mind making something grand.

Time flies when you have clay in your hands.”

This year Boulder Mountain Clayworks has provided clay activities for more than 200 children. It also is offering a clay experience to kids at Camp Rainbow Gold.

“Seeing all the projects and happy smiles of the children in the children’s summer clay classes makes me glow,” said Chubb.

Tickets for the auction are $50 and can be purchased at the door or reserved by calling 726-4484. twp

that’s not all

Boulder Mountain Clayworks is establishing the Gail Nolan Scholarship Fund for adults.

Noland, a former resident of Sun Valley, always wanted to do art but was discouraged by an elementary school teacher who told her she had no talent.

Nolan took an art class when she was in her 60s at Clayworks and developed a passion for it.

Road Rally: Mach 5 Sheriff Femling in cahoots with speeders

By TRAVIS P. KOMAR for theweeklypaper

O

K, admittedly no single vehicle actually attained Mach 5; however–collectively–13 high performance sports cars did achieve 3,846 miles per hour this past Saturday at the Sun Valley Road Rally. The rally is a unique fundraising event with the proceeds benefitting the Blaine County Community Drug Coalition.

This wasn’t Pinks on Speedvision, and it definitely wasn’t your mother-in-law’s out of control Prius with the California Highway Patrol in hot pursuit.

The rally defines the ultimate bragging rights for car fanatics—pure top speed.

The collaborative brainchild for a top speed road rally was born three years ago between Blaine County Sheriff Walt Femling and the founder of the Sun Valley Auto Club, Dave Stone. Both were quite aware of the large number of high performance sports cars with well-heeled owners that reside in Sun Valley and they recognized the potential of this unorthodox fundraising concept. Moving beyond traditional dinners and silent auctions, the rally allows participants and spectators to go home with smiles and suntans as opposed to heartburn and hangovers. As explained by Drug Coalition’s executive director, Terry Basolo, “[This] is one of our prime fundraising events for us and helps pay for our local Big Brothers Big Sisters, Idaho Drug Free Youth and other programs.”

Safety being a prime issue, both volunteers and Blaine County sheriff’s deputies were stationed everywhere along the three-mile stretch of highway, north of Ketchum. With nearly 200 spectators waiting at the

finish line, drivers lined up near the Baker Creek campgrounds.

After a final sweep conducted by the sheriff’s office, the highway was temporarily closed off, and participants were legally allowed to ignore the speed limit.

Rides included “blown” Vipers, Shelby Mustangs and a Ford GT—even Porsches and BMWs. England was represented by both a 139.3 mph Mini Cooper piloted by a self-avowed, speed addicted, Jane Reynolds, and a 2010 Aston Martin DB9. If Jessica Alba were to be recreated in automotive form, she would be a DB9—sexy, curvaceous and fast enough to have you panting for the gas pedal.

The symphonic cacophony of dulcet Italiana V12s echoed from the peaks as a pair of meticulously restored vintage 1960’s Ferraris racecars flew through the speed traps.

However and (thankfully), the geriatric whine of a hybrid was completely absent along this stretch of Hwy 20…

Speed trials were limited to three solo vehicle runs per heat with the highway closed for no more then 15 minutes at a time.

The Sun Valley Auto Club, also provided a shuttle service for

bicyclists and bikes.

Within the first few heats, it became clear who the contenders were for ultimate bragging rights: the Ford GT with local, Dave Stone at the wheel or Bob Shillington of Twin Falls piloting his Porsche GT2—one of only 60 in the U.S., according to Sheriff Femling. All would be decided in the final heat.

In the end, Shillington, was on the money and made it look easy with a certified189.6 mph pass.

Top speeds were temporary, but the thousands of dollars raised for the Drug Coalition make a difference that lasts.

According to Basolo, between entries, spectators, merchandise and concessions, $36,000 was brought in. Due to this year’s success, an upgraded Sun Valley Road Rally 3.0 is a sure bet 2011. twp

5GEQPF Badgers and Zydecats 6KOG #TQWPF H hot Something to chew on Chapter 23

I

had tried not to watch Max and Lana interact on top of the Mint during the Independence Day procession, but morbid curiosity prevented me from looking anywhere else.

It appeared that Lana had a deep-rooted fear of the sound of firecrackers and clowns throwing candy to the little kids lining the parade route. Max looked to be completely captivated by her feigned helplessness and aversion to anything that made a pop or a bang.

My friend Nancy was disappointed, yet understanding, when I explained to her that I wanted to go home after the parade. My favorite all-American holiday had taken a bad turn and I was convinced I wouldn’t be very good company for the rest of the day. So, when the last of the pooper-scoopers had gone by and picked up the ‘road apples’ deposited on Main Street, I grabbed my lawn chair and backpack and walked home, destined to spend another lonely night watching television or a movie all by myself on one of the most social holidays of the year.

Once I arrived home, I dropped my chair and backpack in the entryway, grabbed the TV remote, plopped down on the couch and began searching for something on television that would take my mind off the Max and Lana affair. The only thing on TV that seemed even slightly entertaining was the one hundred and fifteenth rerun of ‘The Wizard of Oz’, the story of a young woman who accidently gets whacked in the head by flying debris in a tornado and wakes up in another universe.

How convenient that would be for me right about now!

Apparently heartache can be exhausting. It would appear I had fallen into a deep sleep–until a little past 2 a.m.–when a pounding on my front door abruptly awakened me. My first irrational thought was that the fireworks had somehow caught the side of a hill on fire and that the police were going door-todoor evacuating the town. As I cautiously approached the front door, my mind returned to the dream from which I had just been roused: Max Rudolph had me by the hand and we were floating above the Wood River Valley and watching the fireworks from above instead of from the ground. Bright colors were bursting everywhere around us, and while I’m usually afraid of heights, as long as Max had a tight grip on my hand, all I could do was smile from the blinding beauty of it all.

I flipped on the front porch light only to look out and see Lana standing on the stoop.

Before I had a chance to wonder what she’d be doing at my house at this extreme hour of the morning, she screamed at me, “Listen, you stupid witch, if I ever hear of you hanging around Max again I will find you and knock your front teeth out, got it?”

I just turned off the light. twp

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I am very good about having a yard sale every year or so to clean out. My sister, on the other hand, stockpiles things in her garage and waits for me to have a sale. Then she loads up her car and brings a trunk full of stuff to my house and tells me to sell it for her. I probably wouldn't mind except she doesn't price anything and then gives me stipulations on what to sell and how. "Don't sell this for too much", "Don't sell this too low", or my favorite, "Don't tell Mom I'm selling the birthday present she gave me last year." I've really had it! How should I clear this up with my sister?

• • •

Carry: You know, I do the exact

same thing to Cash. Every time he has a yard sale, I show up with a truckload of stuff for his sale.

Cash: That's true and it's typically all the gifts that I gave him!

Carry: As you already know, dealing with relatives is not always easy. None-the-less, there is no reason your sister needs to annoy you by dropping her things off every time you're hosting a sale.

Cash: However, part of the

problem is your fault. You need to speak up and tell her your concerns. If she's been doing it for years, it sounds like she may not even know that her actions are bothering you.

Carry: You should be very polite when you explain the problem. Rather than getting angry, offer some corrective actions. Let her know that she needs to help you on future endeavors. For instance, she needs to price all of her items beforehand.

Cash: You could also tell her that you would be happy to have her help run the yard sale. Have her put up signs around the neigh-

borhood and come over early to help with setting up.

Carry: Maybe she can run her own table at the sale. That way she can decide what offers she accepts for her items.

Cash: And, she can hide the birthday gifts when your mom stops by!

Carry: If none of those suggestions work, then consider bartering with her. If she brings items for you to sell, maybe she could watch your kids for the afternoon or run your errands.

Cash: I like that advice. Maybe next time you bring stuff to my sale, I'll have you wash my car!

Here’s a great tip: make your yard sale a family event. If you have close friends or family in the area, invite them to participate in your yard sale. Have them bring their items to your house and help out for the day. It's not only a good reason to get together and have fun, but it's a great way to clean out everyone's garage. You could also pool the proceeds from the sale and use it to fund a family vacation or put it towards the children's college education fund.

That's incentive for the whole family!

Told You So

If your brothers or sisters occasionally get on your nerves, you're not alone. Today there are over 22 million families in America that have two or more children and at some point those siblings will argue. As a parent, the best method for keeping the peace among the kids is to let each of your children express their feelings when they begin fighting. If they know that their voice is being heard, they are less likely to lash out at others.

Reader Humor Shoed Out

I love to shop at yard sales because I never know what I'll find. Once I stopped at a sale and discovered a huge box filled with women's shoes. I immediately took off my shoes and began trying on everything in the pile.

Of course, another woman had the exact same idea as well.

As we both sorted through the mound of shoes, I spotted one that was just perfect. It was the right style and the right size. I searched frantically to find the match before the other woman did.

However, suddenly I noticed she was holding the match in her hand. "Excuse me," she said before I could ask if she would give it to me, "Can I please have my own shoe back?"
