ow about a personal trainer to help you figure out whether it’s better for the environment to use paper plates and napkins or regular plates and cloth napkins at your husband’s birthday party?!

That’s what Molly Goodyear envisions as the Environmental Resource Center (ERC) embarks on its third decade.

The grassroots environmental organization is inviting the community to its 20th birthday party on Tuesday. And, if you listen to the chatter, you might learn a little bit about what the organization has planned as it heads into its next 20 years.

Like its new PUP (Pick Up for the Planet) dog waste cleanup effort that will include new waste bins that look a bit like mailboxes. Or the Green Community Initiative that organizers hope will help people make little changes in everyday life that can have a big impact on the environment. Or the ERC’s expanded outreach to schools, from the high schools to preschools.

“Right now teachers are being pushed

The ERC’s executive director, Molly Goodyear, stands in front of the ERC office, which is provided by Elizabeth and Jack Bunce. The yard got a makeover last week withinc decks made out of AssociAted construction services, to teach other subjects, like technology, reused wood, donated bark mulch and more, so natural resources are getting left thanks to Idaho Mountain Builders, Webb Landbehind.

Eventually, the carport will be turned well-rounded education,” said Goodyear, into an eco lounge, thanks to repurposed matewho served as the ERC director for a few rials, and used for classes, discussion groups and years until 2001 and recently returned to meetings. the helm again.

Over “Three Cups of Tea”…

What eventually became the ERC got its start with Christopher and Tom Hormel, part of the 122-year-old Hormel Foods Corporation, which developed the world’s first canned ham, Dinty Moore beef stew and Hormel chili.

When the Hormel brothers decided they wanted to move out from under the organization, a committee encompassing Len Harlig, Ann Christensen, Kristin Fletcher, Nikki Potts, Greg Moore, Alan Pinkerton, Teresa Grant, Cynthia Snyder and Katherine Devore took over.

“To have an organization promote environmental literacy and awareness made sense because people are here because of the environment. But they have to learn to love it and take care of it,” said Christensen.

The Hormels’ environmentally-concerned charity got the larger community thinking and talking about things like sustainability, recycling and solar panels, said Harlig. The ERC, which was formalized in 1993, put feet and hands to those things.

Over the next 20 years, it spearheaded a formalized recycling program in the county.

It introduced locals to people like Greg Mortensen, the “Three Cups of Tea” author who built schools in Afghanistan, and mountain bike champion Rebecca Rusch, who was among the first to navigate the length of the Colorado River on a boogie board.

Foundation Capitalizes On Star Power STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he entire third-grade class of Woodside Elementary School already has the promise of two-year community college scholarships.

Now they have star power behind their dream of finishing high school and going to college.

Actress and children’s author Jamie Lee Curtis told a room full of potential donors Saturday night to be generous in their support of the new I Have a Dream project.

It’s a disgrace when we live in a country where private citizens have to gather and mentor and push students to college, she said: “We live in the richest country on earth but the U.S. government is getting an F and it should be getting an A-plus.

You have to demand better and, if you don’t, it won’t happen.”

The local foundation—the first in Idaho—was started by Ketchum resident Ken Lewis, who started a similar chapter in Portland, Ore. Ninety percent of the kids involved in the last Portland class to complete the program graduated from high school; 80 percent went to college.

“I have a granddaughter who is going to be in third grade. And that is such an important age to get children enthused and motivated,” said Ketchum resident Ann Scales as she sized up the program.

Nine-year-old Hunter Thompson is one of two young “Dreamers,” as the beneficiaries are called, who attended Saturday’s reception held at Richard and Penny Weiss’ elegant home trimmed in white and glass at the mouth of East Fork Canyon.

He said he would like to go on to become a baseball player, author or archaeologist.

“This program means that I’ll be able to learn more to go on and get a job. And we don’t have to worry about saving up money for college,” he said.

Hunter’s parents, Brad and Christie Thompson, acknowledged that it’s a relief to know that their oldest son’s education will be taken care of.

budget and needs

foundation background

The organization’s 12-year budget is $2.5 million. Members of the board have already contributed more than $50,000 to launch the foundation and then pledged an additional $150,000 over the next 10 years to get the 50 Dreamers at Woodside Elementary School through college.

Mentors and tutors are also needed, in addition to donors.

For information, call 208450-9466, e-mail KenatIHAD@ comcast.net or write to P.O. Box 10070, Ketchum, ID 83340.

The I Have a Dream Foundation was started in 1981 by a New York City businessman who had agreed to give a graduation speech to a group of sixth-graders at the elementary school in Harlem that he had attended 50 years earlier.

Told that 75 percent of the students would probably drop out of high school, Eugene Lang made an extraordinary promise: Each sixth-grader who completed high school would be given a college scholarship.

Instead of one of 61 going to college, 50 did. Instead of 75 percent not finishing high school, 75 percent finished.

The story was featured in The New York Times and “60 Minutes.”

And today the program has grown to include nearly 200 projects in 57 cities and 27 states, serving more than 15,000 “Dreamers.”

“We have four boys and the others have gotten excited about college, seeing how excited we’ve gotten over this,” said Brad Thompson, who runs a small computer consulting firm.”I think Hunter’s started concentrating more on his grades, as well, as a result of this.”

Jose and Blanca Hurtado were equally excited about how the program will benefit their 9-year-old son Kareem Hurtado.

Kareem says he would like to be a scientist because he likes finding out things.

“It’s a dream for us, too,” said Jose Hurtado, an air conditioning installer who followed his brothers to the Wood River Valley from Mexico 11 years ago.

“We were thinking: What do we do when it’s time for him to go to college?”

Reginald Reeves, an I Have a Dream board member, reminded those assembled in the room that they had been asked as children not “Are you going to college?” but, rather, “Where are you going to college?”

“We told these children that we’re going to prove to you that there’s a better world than McDonald’s,” he added.

Lewis told how Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in baseball, said that life is not a spectator sport. “If you’re going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you’re wasting your life,” Robinson said.

He also said, “A life is not important except in the impact it

has on other lives,” Lewis added.

The I Have a Dream Foundation recently hired a new project coordinator, Kelly Ortego, who will help students with their studies. She also will organize a series featuring doctors, businessmen and others talking about their careers and what’s necessary to pursue them. And she will organize field trips designed to expand the students’ horizons, such as an upcoming trip to the Shoshone Ice Caves.

Students who get good grades have a shot at getting four years of college funded.

More students than you think could use some help, said Blaine County School Superintendent Lonnie Barber. Forty-two percent of students are on the free or reduced lunch program at last count. Blaine County also has the highest percentage of English language learners in Idaho.

Barber said he and his wife have long had a conversation with their now-13-year-old daughter in which they ask her what college she is going to.

“Kids in poverty do not have that conversation,” he added.

Jamie Lee Curtis held up her right hand and put her fingers together a couple times.

Some of those involved in I Have a Dream include Ken Lewis, Kelly Ortego, Jamie Lee Curtis and Reginald Reeves with Dreamers Kareem Hurtado and Hunter Thompson.

Debi Sanders hands out cocktails to I Have a Dream patrons from the bar at the East Fork home of Penny and Richard Weiss.

“This is the international sign for ‘Give me money,’ ” she said.

“We are well perfumed, well dressed… We have nice cars and we go back to nice homes.

The only way to move forward is be generous. Make the world a better place when you write your check.” tws

Rose Family Nourishes Both People and Wildlife

T Student Gus Conrad Enjoys the Outdoors Page 6

SVCA Arts & Crafts Festival This Weekend

he Rosaceae (or Rose family) are a medium-sized family of flowering plants, including more than 2500 species of herbs, shrubs and trees worldwide. The Rose family boasts many of the fruits that the world loves to eat, and many of the prettiest flowers.

The edible fruits include apples, apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, pears, quinces, loquats, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. Many of these juicy fruits are protected by vicious thorns and prickles. The ornamental Rose family plants in our local gardens include roses, spirea, mountain ash, potentilla, cotoneaster, geum and ninebark.

Several important native species also produce fleshy fruits that humans find palatable (chokecherry syrup—yum!); many more are appreciated by birds and other animals. Among local

species with fruits and leafy parts important to wildlife are chokecherry, rose hips, and bitterbrush. Flowers of the Rose family are generally described as “showy” and are radially symmetric, like the spokes of a wheel, with five sepals, five petals and many stamens, all arising from the top of an inverted cuplike structure called a hypanthium. Red roses are iconic for Valentine’s Day, but in the wild, Rose family members never have blue flowers or red flowers.

This is because the genes to produce true blue and pure red flower pigments are missing. Red roses are actually the result of a genetic mutation that occurred in cultivated varieties many years ago.

Two Main Thistles

t is starting to be the time of year when noxious weeds are winding down; most species have gone through a reproductive cycle or two and are beginning to lose energy.

But one species is just beginning to get going—thistle. There are two main types of thistle we see in Blaine County: Scotch thistle and Canada thistle. For our purposes here we will speak about them as one, as they share many of the same characteristics. Thistles like to live along roadsides, cultivated fields, pastures and rangelands. They are easily identified early, as they start off looking like spiky dandelions. They quickly shoot up and multiply; Scotch thistle can grow to 12 feet tall and Canada thistle can have a root system 15

feet across. Thistles bloom with a purplish flower and disperse by seed. Thistle are extremely good at aggressively taking over an area; in fact, stands can be so thick in some places they are impenetrable to livestock. Thistles have little value, in that wildlife and livestock are unable to eat them and they crowd out native plants. Should you find thistle on your property (and remember, it is Idaho law that property owners manage noxious weeds on their land!), there are a variety of control methods. If the plants are still small, mowing or weed whacking can be a cost-effective measure. For more details on controlling thistle, contact the Blaine County Weed Department at 788-5516. tws This column is brought to you by Blaine County Weed Management.

Toasting the ‘Rite of Spring’ STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

I

gor Stravinsky’s ballet, “The Rite of Spring,” caused a near-riot when the Russian composer first presented it in 1913 at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris.

Audiences used to the grace and elegance of traditional ballets were put off by the offbeat rhythm and dissonance the avant-garde piece featured.

And they didn’t cotton to the outrageous costumes, unusual choreography and bizarre story of pagan sacrifice.

There were so many hisses and catcalls that the performers could hardly hear one another to complete the piece.

Now, however, “The Rite of Spring” is not only played frequently, it’s considered a musical masterpiece, parts of which have been used in pieces like Disney’s “Fantasia.”

And the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, which attracted a near-record-setting opening crowd for its performance Sunday night, will join other orchestras around the world in performing it this year when it presents the piece on Monday to mark the hundredth anniversary of the piece.

The free concert starts at 6:30 p.m. Monday in the Sun Valley Pavilion.

“It seemed as good a year to do as any,” said the symphony’s music director, Alasdair Neale. “We last performed it about seven years ago. But with the big birthday bash, we wanted to be part of the action.”

The difficulty in presenting a piece like “The Rite of Spring” is keeping it fresh, just as orchestras struggle to do with such familiar pieces as Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.

“It needs to be a piece that has that air of fancy about it—a sucking punch. The Pavilion will make it come alive. It’ll grab you by the throat,” Neale promised.

“It’s amazing to think the piece is now part of standard repertoire,” he added. “You might not hum it as you walk down the sidewalk. But you might encounter it in one way or another, even in commercials. Monday’s concert is going to be a wild ride, and I’m glad to be part of it all.”

Look for kids’ music tent

The Sun Valley Summer Symphony offered a cornucopia of variety during its Edgar M. Bronfman “In Focus” series last week. And Friday was no exception, with dancers Casie O’Kane, Dominique McDougal and Yurek Hansen dancing Igor Stravinsky’s “The Soldier’s Tale.” The piece, based on a Russian folk tale, depicts a Faustian struggle between the Devil and a soldier. ing children ages 4 through 10 the chance to explore music through hands-on projects while Mom and Dad attend the concert.

Also, the symphony is serving up backstage interviews with musicians on the Pavilion lawn before each performance.

wynona to join symphony thursday Wynonna Judd and her band The Big Noise will headline the Sun Valley Summer Symphony benefit concert at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the outdoor Sun Valley Symphony Pavilion.

The concert, which is sold out, is the only concert involving admission during the symphony season. It helps fund the 115-member symphony, which is the largest privately-funded, free-admission orchestra in America.

Judd has been called “the greatest female singer since Patsy Cline” by “Rolling Stone.” She rose to fame as part of a mother-daughter duo, The Judds, who recorded 14 No. 1 hits, including “Mama He’s Crazy” and “Grandpa (Tell Me ‘Bout the Good Ol’ Days).”

Wynonna went solo in 1991 after her mother Naomi had to drop out due to Hepatitis C but continued to rack up No. 1 hits, such as “I Saw the Light” and “To Be Loved by You.” Information: 208-622-5607.

Science Hour with christensen at The Community Library

D

rake Lovlien and George Corkery watched intently last Tuesday morning as Ann Christensen drags out snakes and turtles and lizards, oh my! Christensen and a few others offer a free Science Hour for children at 11 a.m. Tuesdays at The Community Library in

Ketchum. The snake is a lizard that has lost its legs, she told the 38 youngsters in attendance. Research suggests that snakes lost their limbs by growing them more slowly. Legs became less useful as the animal evolved.

Ann Christensen gets a little dramatic as she tells

youngsters about reptiles and the like. Scales on its belly and a shell on its back helps keep the turtle safe, Ann Christensen also told 38 youngsters during last week’s Science hour at The Community Library in Ketchum. Science hour is held every Tuesday at 11 tws a.m.

G

us Conrad, a Wood River High School senior carrying a 3.5 grade point average and a member of National Honor Society, loves the outdoors – especially hunting and fishing. “It’s been such a major part of my life,” Conrad said. “I couldn’t imagine it being any other way.” Of course, that passion began at the earliest age possible. “It started, as little as I can remember, when my dad gave me a little wooden toy gun to play around with. I would carry it everywhere. After that, I graduated to a BB gun that I would fool around with on a ranch we have down in Hagerman. I would shoot at trees and anything around. I thought I was real cool,” Conrad said with a laugh. At 9, he took a hunter education course that lasted two weeks, with two hours a night in class. “My tenth birthday was youth hunter’s opening, which takes place two days before the real season begins. It was the greatest birthday present that I could have asked for. We hunted ducks and I got my first gun – a Remington 20-gauge pump. Also, it was really cool because my friend’s dad, who takes hunting videos, shot footage of us and it went national.” Conrad doesn’t hesitate when asked what his greatest experience was as a hunter. “One night my dad and I were sitting in this beautiful cornfield at sunset, talking, and we looked up and an incredible flock of five hundred ducks flew by. Then they came in on us and it was one of the most amazing things that I have ever seen. It was like a tornado of ducks and it sounded like a jet plane.” As to hunting or fishing, “I like them about the same. I love to bass fish at Magic and down in Hag-

erman and I fly fish on the Big Wood. Whatever I do, I have the utmost respect for the game and I eat everything that I kill. There is never any waste.”

Conrad is currently working on his senior project, which will get him involved with the family business, Conrad Brothers Construction. “I’m the project manager on a construction project and the experience will give me an inside look at what it takes to accomplish a project, from beginning to end.

My dad has a shop in Hailey and I’m building a façade for it. My duties are far-ranging and are comprised of design, budget, the scope of the work and figuring out what you need to accomplish it and creating the bid sheets.

The design will be Old West with a 10-foot arch on the top. I’ve just finished framing and the entire project has to be done by August 16. In total, it will take 25-35 hours to complete. A couple of people are helping and it’s coming together really well. One day I hope to take over the family business.” You can certainly expect a smooth and successful tws transition.

ndrew Shows of New Mexico creates colorful Anasazi pendants in the shapes of bison and horses filled with coyotes and cacti. Bozeman, Mont., blacksmith Tuli Fisher creates hand-forged planting dibbles, square hoes and curvy sickles too pretty to get dirty.

And Deborah and Richard Bloom of Portland, Ore., create ornamental wind chimes out of obsidian, a volcanic rock, that are hung from seedpods, cones, branches and driftwood.

Ketchum artist Barry Welker will show his work, which focuses on stones in streams and rivers, symbolizing the path we follow through life. Ketchum photographer Barbara Kline will show her unique creations in which she has done things like superimpose a piano on a waterfall.

And Ketchum photographers Marybeth Flower and Joe Bauwens, a married couple, create abstract landscapes with their photographs of nature.

The couple has won four awards from “Color Magazine” in the past several years and their book “Piazza: Italy’s Heart & Soul,”

was judged the Best Coffee Table Book of the year by the Independent Publishers Group.

Kids will have the chance to make summer pinwheels on Friday, clay creatures on Saturday and sun hats on Sunday in the free kids’ activity area open each day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Reptile Guy Celebrates Summer Reading With Hailey Public Library Hailey Public Library’s summer reading season culminates in a live animal show featuring Corbin Maxey, “the Reptile Guy.” Everyone is welcome to attend the free event. Join your neighbors at the Community Campus in Hailey on Aug. 15 at 3 p.m.

As seen on TV, Maxey is a 23-yearold animal expert specializing in reptiles. Youth Services Librarian Jeanie Johnston says, “Corbin is a perfect pick for this year’s finale because his show matches our Summer Reading themes: Dig into Reading and Beneath the Surface. He’s also ambitious about making learning fun.”

The Hailey library offered three “read for fun” Summer Reading programs. The first- through third-grade and fourth- through eighth-grade groups received weekly rewards when

they read for two or three hours, respectively. Prizes included a reed recorder and musical goop, as well as vouchers for breadsticks, ice cream, and French fries.

An additional 29 parents registered to participate in a pilot program called the Kindergarten Reading Initiative.

Representatives of the Lee Pesky Learning Center shared early literacy skills with parents while children enjoyed a lively story hour with Young Children’s Librarian Lindsay Kavanagh.

For more information, visit HPL online at www.haileypubliclibrary.org.

The library would like to thank this year’s sponsors: Domino’s Pizza, McDonald’s, SnowBunny Drive-In, Fred Meyer, Friends of the Hailey Public Library and Idaho Commission for Libraries.

movie review

Coming of Age in this flick

BY JONATHAN KANE

F

inally, a truly great summer movie has arrived— The Way Way Back—and none too soon. Along with the other great movie this summer, Mud, both movies tell essentially a boy’s coming-of-age story and both boast mercurial performances by their 14-year-old leads, in this case the amazing Liam James. Both are also stacked with tremendous actors giving tremendous performances, especially in this film Sam Rockwell as a wisecracking, Bill Murray-type manager of a water park. But also along for the ride are Allison Janney, Amanda Peet, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Maya Rudolph, Rob Corddry and

a touching turn by newcomer Annasophia Robb as James’ first crush. But the real story here is the script and direction of Nat Faxon and Jim Rash in their very impressive debut. Both also score in small supporting roles but neither are strangers to Hollywood, as they began in the Groundlings comedy troupe and more impressively won an Academy Award for their superb script for The Descendants. This film is also beautifully written and (I know it’s a cliché) will have you laughing and crying copious tears.

James is a 14 year old forced to spend the summer at the beach with his divorced mom, Collette, and her abusive boyfriend, played marvelously by

Jon rated this movie

Carell. The movie opens with him declaring that on a scale of one to 10, James rates as a three. The rest of the movie chronicles James’ remarkable growth as he sheds his shell under the tutelage of Rockwell, who sees something in the boy. James blossoms under the friendship and his character’s transformation, with the injection of confidence that Rockwell gives him, is the heart of the story. Don’t miss this one. tws

Living Well UI-Blaine Extension Tips

Simple Steps to Firewise Your Home

F

irewise is a national program that helps landowners and communities prevent damage from devastating wildland fires.

Most homes that burn during a wildfire are ignited by embers or firebrands (a piece of burning or glowing wood) landing on the roof, in gutters, on or under decks, or in vents or other openings in the home. Other homes burn from small flames (surface fire) that touch the house, such as dry grass that can allow a fire to run right up the siding. That’s why Firewise principles recommend starting with your home and working your way out into

8

the landscape in order to protect your home.

First, make sure you have a nonflammable roof covering and assembly. Your roof is the most vulnerable spot for embers that blow in and collect.

Clean leaf debris out of gutters and downspouts.

Keep the surface and area beneath decks and porches free of debris and leaves.

Maintain a 3-to-5-foot space around your house and all attachments that is “fuel free” – no flammable mulch, woodpiles, or plants that can allow fire to touch the house.

Screen vents with metal

mesh; if possible, replace large windows with double-paned or tempered glass to resist breakage during a fire.

Large flames can and will ignite your home if they are close enough to the house. Ensure that trees and shrubs within the first 30 feet of your home are healthy, spaced apart, and not overhanging the house. If your home is on a slope, thin out vegetation to a farther distance (50 to 100 feet) to slow fire’s spread as it approaches uphill.

Huck Finn

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain (18351910): The only comprehensive edition, hardback: 418 pgs., (first official edition was published in 1885);

BY MARGOT VAN HORN

I

n regards to this book, Hemingway said the following: “All American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.

If you read it you must stop where… Jim is stolen from the boys. That is the real end. The rest is just cheating. But it’s the best book we have. All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.”

However, may I point out that Hemingway said this in the early 1930s, so he missed out on the startling October 1990 rediscovery of the “lost” first half of Twain’s working manuscript, which was a draft containing material that the author had deleted before this book went to press. You may remember reading about this. Since then this comprehensive edition was compiled. Even though I don’t think that Hemingway would have changed his statement, it may have tickled his author’s funny bone to have been privy to the “rest of the story.”

The cover of this book itself is a beauty because it shows Mark Twain’s handwritten (beautifully lucid, if I may say) commencing sentences from his first chapter; the back of the book has a Textual Addendum section

August 7, 2013

that is fascinating. What fun I had discovering this book at The Community Library in Ketchum and reading it once more in this version. That’s the point. This is truly a book for children as well as for grown-ups; so if you haven’t read it once, I heartily recommend that you do. Additionally, the illustrations by Kemble are a gem as well.

In this book, you will rediscover what a master storyteller Twain was. Such an amazing talent he had; what fun he must have had using this talent. Oh that I could have lived in his time to have heard him speak.

He did that so often—not that he enjoyed that part of his life very much—but he did it mainly to raise the monies that he always seemed so short of.

This book was very controversial and many big-city libraries removed the book from their shelves as “immoral and sacrilegious.” As you read this book, you clearly understand why this controversy arose. As Justin Kaplan, the prize-winning biographer of Twain noted, “Mark Twain not only revolutionized the art of American storytelling, he enlarged its social range.”

So, give this book a consideration for your reading joys—and don’t forget to share it with your children. Maybe some serious resulting discussions would be a bonus for all concerned and present a nice break from the TV and the computer.

Braun Brothers Reunion to Feature Suzy Bogguss STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he Braun Brothers Reunion has always been heavy on the male singers.

Until now.

Nashville A-lister Susy Bogguss will join the fun in Challis this weekend, adding her platinum-album voice to the chorus.

Bogguss will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, the opening night. The festival runs through Saturday.

Her appearance will give Idahoans a look at the woman from Aledo, Ill., who treated the world to a fresh-scrubbed rendition of “Someday Soon,” along with such top 10 hits as “Outbound Plane,” “Aces,” “Letting Go,” “Drive South,” “Something Up My Sleeve,” “Just Like the Weather” and “Hey Cinderella.”

In 2008 she hit the road with Prairie Home Companion’s Garrison Keillor, and the audiences’ response to old songs like “Red River Valley” and songs by The Beatles and the Everly Brothers prompted her to release an “American Folk Songbook” and companion CD to keep tried and true melodies in front of today’s children.

The annual reunion festival kicks off at 5 p.m. with Clayton cowboy Muzzie Braun. He’ll be followed by Dale Watson and the Lonestars at 6 p.m. Micky and the Motorcars featuring Micky Braun will close out Thursday night at 9:15 p.m., following Bogguss.

Friday’s music strikes up at 4 p.m. with No Justice, followed

by Corb Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans, Todd Snider, the

Cindy and Gary Braun played such familiar old country music tunes as “North to Alaska” at the Trailing of the Sheep picnic at the Flat Top Sheep Ranch.

Turnpike Troubadours and the Randy Rogers Band.

Saturday’s music starts up at 1 p.m. with Tom Nazz & Jazz and Gary and Cindy Braun. The entire Braun family will follow at 2:30 p.m., followed by Wade Bowen, Redd Volkaert, Cody Canada & the Departed and Reckless Kelly featuring Willy and Cody Braun.

“The Braun Brothers Reunion is a long tradition,” said Gary Braun, who together with his wife Cindy plays familiar country honky-tonk songs at venues like the Wood River Farmers’ Market. “My brothers Muzzy and Billy and I were the original Braun Brothers back in 1981.

“We grew up in Twin Falls, with music all around, since our dad played. We set up a fivepiece band with zoot suits called

The Syndicates when I was 14 and we played all around Twin Falls. Then I went country—I liked the simplicity of country music. And we began playing for places like the Diamond D Ranch near Loon Creek.”

Tickets good for Friday and Saturday only cost $71.95. A three-day pass is $105.95, available at www.paypal.com.

Camping is available at the Challis Golf Course RV Park, Challis Hot Springs, Challis Valley RV Park and Country Junction RV Park and Campground, Pioneer Motel & RV Park, Bayhorse State Park and Bayhorse Lake. Lodging is available at a number of motels in Challis.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR AUGUST 7TH FROM PICABO ANGLER

T

he hot days of August are upon us.

This means get some siesta time as the fishing action turns to early morning and late in the evening. The Trico on Silver Creek has been outstanding compared to the past few years. Not, quite to the level of a decade ago, but we are trending that way! With the Trico come the usual suspects, P.M.D., Baetis and Callibaetis.

The Trico is also showing on the Wood and the Big Lost Rivers as well. It’s not quite the show we see on Silver Creek, but they do get the fish working. The early morning rise is also a great time to fish the Rusty Spinner. It is often the only fly that fish will take morning and evening on these rivers. If you want to fish bigger flies try Hoppers. A Dave’s Hopper on our Freestone waters is a great choice! Fish it in the fastest and heaviest water.

Try to find seams next to the fastest currents, strip the line fast and be ready to set the hook hard.

If ever there is a time of year to get out the Mouse Fly, it is now! Warm nights on the Creek make it comfortable, and as the summer has gotten progressively drier the mice are moving closer and closer to the water. Very few anglers have been taking advantage of this opportunity, and they should as it is an angler’s best chance to catch the fish of a lifetime. If you go, worry less about the pattern and more about the area you fish. There is no one place better than another, just fish familiar water. This way you know how far to cast in the dark and where to walk. Simply cast the fly across, strip very little, just enough to give the fly some life, and listen closely. If you hear the gulp, set the hook with a vengeance.

With that said, make sure you are using 0X leaders and tippets. Make sure you also have a flash or night setting on your camera!

The South Fork of the Boise may be the best afternoon fishery right now, as the Pink Albert action builds and the Hoppers are out in force. Fish tight to the banks with big foam Hoppers and check the skinny riffles for the Pink Albert during the heat of the day.

ere’s another WICKED recipe. I have received a lot of comments and compliments on my other fast, easy and yummy no-churn ice cream recipe, so I thought I’d give you all another recipe, which I also like a lot. I think that it turns out a bit softer than the other one. Also, I’ve tried putting different fruits in this one (use your imagination) and it turns out just fine. I’ve even stirred in some freshly cut strawberries in the mango version, which has been quite tasty.

For the Sun Valley Summer Symphony picnic, take a pint or so for enjoyment for after your main course. Of course, the best would be to serve it along with some ripe juicy mango slices and/ or freshly sliced berries. Calories and cholesterol concerns??

Oh well, forget that for a minute.

Moderation in all things, as my mother used to say.

No-Churn Mango Ice Cream (a different no-churn version).

Makes 4 pints (but if you wish, you can cut the recipe in half and make 2 pints)

Add the cream and continue beating until mixture is thick and creamy.

Gently fold in the mango pieces.

Cover and place in freezer until almost set (3-4 hours).

Take out and beat once more.

Put in airtight containers in the freezer overnight.

Safety on the Bike Path

Local Skaters Steal the Show FOR THE WEEKLY SUN

T

“B

aaah. I want my Mommy!” A lone sheep made its way down the bike path north of Hailey Wednesday afternoon. No word on whether it bolted from the rest of the gang headed to summer grazing pastures in the mountains north of Sun Valley or whether it was someone’s pet headed for the Blaine County Fair this week in Carey.

BCRD Launches Share the Trail Campaign As summer heats up in Blaine County, the number of users on the multi-use 20-mile Wood River Trail increases as well. Understanding other WRT enthusiasts will help to minimize conflict and maximize enjoyment while out on the fantastic Wood River Trail this summer.

With that in mind, the BCRD is launching a “Share the Trail” education campaign to provide information about trail etiquette and remind every user about the importance of “Sharing the Trail.”

“Trail sharing can and does work when everyone in the community respects each other and works together

to keep each other safe while out on the Wood River Trail. During the summer months it is increasingly important as we have many more people out using the trail in so many ways,“ states Eric Rector, BCRD trails director.

Rector stresses the need for walkers, runners and bikers to be aware that lots of people and pets are on the path and that it is a multi-use trail for all of us to enjoy.

For detailed information about trail etiquette please look for Share the Trail flyers around the community, and/or visit bcrd.org. Pick up a Share the Trail bumper sticker and free bike bell at the BCRD in Hailey.

he 46th annual 2013 Sun Valley Summer Figure Skating Championships recently drew 185 figure skaters to the ice. Skaters from toddlers to retired adults, from first-time competitors to professional skaters, represented 37 different figure skating clubs in Freeskate, Compulsory Spins and Jumps, Ice Dancing, Dramatic Artistic Showcase and Light Entertainment Showcase events. Community School seventh-grader Alex Stuessi’s Pre-Juvenile Artistic Program won the coveted trophy for Most Outstanding Artistic Program at the Pre-Preliminary through Intermediate Level.

Holly Wheeler and Gia Guddat coach Stuessi. Guddat designed and choreographed Stuessi’s winning program.

Showcase and Group Production Ensemble events delighted spectators on “Showcase Sunday,” July 21. The Sun Valley Figure Skating Club Junior Board’s production, “Sun Valley Dog Show,” directed by the president, Shayna Moellenberg, captured first place in Production Ensemble. Moellenberg, a USFS double gold medalist and Sun Valley Ice Show Ensemble cast member, will attend the University of Vermont in the fall.

Following tradition, the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club dominated the Showcase and Artistic events. Joyce Chan won both her Artistic and Light Showcase events at the Intermediate level; Lane Letourneau won both her Artistic and Light Showcase events at the Intermediate level; and Alex Stuessi won both her Artistic and Light Showcase events at the Pre-Juvenile level.

The brother and sister team of Nicole and Kenny Pratt won gold

in Pairs Showcase, Group B. Nicole also won bronze in Senior Artistic. Blake Letourneau won Pairs Showcase, Group A, with her partner, Alex Stuessi, and also took bronze in Pre-Juvenile Showcase. Katie Peters took silver in both the Pre-Juvenile Compulsory Spins event and in Pairs Showcase with partner Shayna Moellenberg. Sun Valley’s strong finish in the Showcase and Artistic events bodes well for the club August 1-4 in Bourne, Massachusetts, where the Stuessis, the Letourneaus, Chan, and Peters will join Alexandra Harten, Isabella Bourett, Sage Curtis, and Antonia Avery at the 2013 USFS National Showcase Competition.

In test-level compulsory events, Murphy Kendall won silver in Preliminary Compulsory Moves and placed fourth in Preliminary Spins. Abby Chase won gold in Solo Pattern Ice Dancing.

Boswell’s White Cloud River Rafting

Hero’s Journey on Friday

FOR THE WEEKLY SUN

W

hitewater fun in the Sawtooths! I would like to tell you about White Cloud Rafting Adventures. White Cloud is owned and operated as a family business headed by Jeremy Boswell, who bought the rafting company eight years ago from rafting pioneer Ron Gillette, owner of Triangle C Ranch Whitewater Float Expeditions in Stanley.

Jeremy started out as a guide in the summers, and was with Triangle C for five years when an opportunity came up to buy Ron Gillette’s rafting company. Jeremy is from Texas and spends half the year there. His grandparents are from Rupert, which is where his Idaho connection comes from. White Cloud Rafting is a family-owned and operated business. They are the smallest of the four rafting companies in Stanley, but that doesn’t mean anything except that they are a close group and super-fun to be around—much like spending the day with extended family. I asked Jeremy what he thought made them stand out from other rafting companies and his response was “personability.”

They are a fun, energetic group of guides that love what they do and they try to share that passion with everyone who books a trip with White Cloud Rafting Adventures.

The company has six guides—three men and three women. They offer kayak trips as well as fly-fishing. “Pork Chop” is the tour guide; he drove the bus and is a volunteer firefighter in his spare time. He is very knowledgeable about the area and

the history of the Salmon River Wilderness. All the guides are licensed in whitewater rafting and certified in first-aid and CPR. I took my family out to have their first whitewater experience on the Salmon River and we had a ball! I was worried about my 5-year-old, but as soon as we went through our first rapid, my fears were put to rest. Our guide, Cameron, did a super job and was cautious, professional and fun all at the same time. If you haven’t done it yet, what are you waiting for? Call Jeremy and book your trip today! He is offering a great deal for Hailey Chamber members. tws

Men and women alike practiced downward-facing dogs, hands-raised poses and other yoga poses on the lawn of the Sun Valley Pavilion as Cathie Caccia, Jamie Guzik, Beth Stuart and Lauri Bunting led them through core work, inversions, meditation and chanting.

The gathering—a benefit for the Sun Valley Wellness Institute—was meant to conjure some good vibes for a hearty snow year. But the early morning sun was pretty intense—far from engendering any hint of the chill to come, according to participant tws Ann Christensen.

It introduced adults and kids to local wildlife through bird watching, beaver walks and animal tracking courses, and it taught people how to navigate the great outdoors with orienteering and GPS workshops.

And it organized a shooting stars sleep-out to coincide with the Perseid meteor shower every August.

At the urging of Christensen, who said an environmentally-sensitive community starts with the children, the ERC started a Science After School program, environmental summer camps and a weekly series where it took experts on wildlife, Craters of the Moon and other topics into the schools.

It spurred a drive to get people to turn off their engines in front of the post office and schools and helped homeowners utilize government incentives to make their homes greener.

It organized a Farm Day to introduce locals to the agrarian side of the Wood River Valley. And it took care of funds earmarked for the Sawtooth Botanical Garden and Wood River Land Trust during those organizations’ infancy.

It also organized a couple of major conferences, including a water conference featuring the head of U.S. Fish and Wildlife and another featuring environmental author Rod Nash.

“The vision was big; the budget was small. We even had a huge library where people could borrow books and do research on environmental issues in the days before the Internet,” said Goodyear.

The ERC is also expanding its school outreach with a Growing Great Minds curriculum it has devised with the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, 4-H, and U.S. Forest Service. The curriculum includes such classes as “Pollinators,” “Grocery Store Botany,” “Air Quality: The Role of Plants and Trees,” “You, Me and Energy,” “Life in the Dark: Nocturnal Animals and Bats,” and a full day of snow science.

“We’ve done a master naturalist and day-long snow science workshop for The Sage School, but we want to do more with other schools, including Pioneer Montessori and preschools,” said Marks. “The curriculum we’ve established is just the beginning.”

The ERC has also determined that it needs to do more tangible adult education concerning five priorities: water, energy, waste management and toxins, food systems and connecting people to nature, Goodyear said.

BCRD’s Pump Track Challenge Results Last Thursday’s Pump Track Challenge event, hosted by the Blaine County Recreation District, brought out over 50 competitors and their families. It was a beautiful evening of fun, friendly competition at the BCRD Pump Track in Hailey. Five age groups, both boys and girls alike, ages 2 to 18, raced against the clock for the fastest time around the track. With Billy Olson as master of ceremonies and Joel Zellers as start official, it was a true bike racing event.

The Environmental Resource Center will toast its 20 th anniversary from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday night with a champagne toast in compostable cups, as well as beer and non-alcoholic drinks.

Neighborhood restaurants will provide hors d’oeuvres. Participants will be given seedlings to plant, and photographer Dev Khalsa will take keepsake photos. There will be T-shirt and bottle giveaways.

The ERC is putting together a new website offering a link to resources, such as where to get non-toxic paint locally. It also plans to start a pilot green home program this fall, home tours and workshops. And it plans to resurrect its certified green business awards to incentivize businesses.

Flu Season Is Approaching, R Don’t Forget To Vaccinate

BY LUKE SNELL

W

ith high temperatures and fun summer activities currently going on, it is hard to think of the flu season. However, kids will be in school soon and fall will be upon us. We are less than a month away from receiving our first flu shot shipment and beginning to vaccinate against influenza.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends getting vaccinated as soon as the vaccine is available. Let this article serve as a reminder for you to vaccinate against the flu this season.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) states that all individuals older than 6 months should receive the flu shot with the following exceptions: 1. Severe chicken egg allergy.

2. Severe allergy to flu vaccine in the past.

3. History of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

I have heard many different reasons for patients not getting vaccinated over the years. “I never get the flu shot and I never get the flu.” “I’m healthy.” “It’s just the flu.” “The flu shot gave me the flu.” Most of these remarks are legitimate (the flu shot cannot give you the flu!), but there is a larger picture that must be considered.

Influenza (the flu) is a respiratory illness. The symptoms are similar to the common cold, but usually have a sudden onset.

Common symptoms include: fever, body aches, cough, sore throat, fatigue, and runny or stuffy nose. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.

The symptoms mentioned are bearable for most people and the benefit-versus-risk ratio of being pricked in the arm may not be high enough when considering these symptoms alone. The flu, however, can lead to more severe illness such as pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus and ear infections, or it can even lead to death.

There are, on average, about 30,000 flu-related deaths each year, 90 percent of which occur in people 65 years and older.

The elderly are not the only ones at a higher risk. Pregnant women, children 6 months to 4 years old, persons with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, and immunosuppressed persons are all at risk for complications associated with the flu.

You, personally, may not fall into any of these categories, but without a doubt each of us comes into contact almost on a daily basis with a higher-risk person.

Complicating the problem further is the ability of the flu virus to spread. It is believed that the flu spreads mostly by droplets from a person with the flu who coughs, sneezes, or talks.

It can spread to others up to 6 feet away. The flu virus can also remain for a period of time on objects such as door handles,

ising anti-Semitism in Europe and Russia will be on the agenda when Scholar-in-Residence Rabbi Philipp Kranz holds a weekend of discussions in Ketchum Friday through Sunday.

Kranz, currently Rabbi Emeritus for Temple Sinai in Atlanta, Ga., and co-author of “Creativity & Judaism: Innovating your Life and Renewing your Faith,” will open the weekend at 6 p.m.

Friday at St. Thomas Episcopal Church with a short service.

He will discuss “The Crisis of European Jewry,” exploring the roots of anti-Semitism in the 19th century and the ways the

Jews responded. He will also look at the dilemmas faced by Jews in the second decade of the 21st century.

On Saturday Kranz will attempt to answer the question of how contemporary Jews are expected to make moral and ethical decisions in light of classical Jewish tradition. That discussion will be held at the Wood River Jewish Community office at 471 Leadville Ave. Finally, Kranz will deal with the topic of God and belief, examining points of view of major Jewish philosophers and theologians, at 10 a.m. Sunday. That talk will also be at the office.

briefs pens, or eating utensils. On top of this, a healthy adult can begin to infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to 5-7 days after becoming sick.

These circumstances make it impossible for a person to contain the flu virus to only themselves. For this reason, I echo the recommendations of the ACIP to, unless you fall under one of the rare exceptions, get vaccinated! If not for yourself, do it for those you associate with.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today to see if a flu shot is right for you.

STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

hen Ian Fleming conceived of 007, he originally wanted the British secret agent to be an extremely dull man to whom things happened.

He found the simplest, dullest, plainest-sounding name he could find in James Bond, the name of a man who had written the definitive guide to “Birds of the West Indies.” And then he endowed Bond with Hoagy Carmichael’s looks and his own golf handicap and penchant for scrambled eggs.

Bond, James Bond, rose above his original intended dull, plain mediocrity to become the spy to end all spies. The 007 movies rank just behind “Harry Potter” as the richest film series in history. And the music that went with the movies made in his name was so remarkable they ended up receiving several Academy Award nominations.

The Sun Valley Summer Symphony will shine the spotlight on some of those musical themes at 6:30 p.m. Saturday night when it performs “The James Bond Theme,” the theme from “Russia with Love,” Suite from “Casino Royale” and “Quantum of Solace,” Henry Mancini’s theme from “The Pink Panther” and more.

Tony Award-winning soprano Debbie Gravitte will sing the themes from “Diamonds are Forever,” “The World is Not Enough,” “Skyfall,” “Goldfinger” and “Secret Agent Man.” She won her Tony for her performance in “Jerome Robbins’ Broadway” and has appeared in such Broadway numbers as “Zorba,” “Chicago” and “Les Miserables,” in addition to lending her voice to such movies as Disney’s “The little Mermaid.”

“We wanted to offer something for everyone this season, whether their taste runs to Mozart, Strauss, Copland or James Bond,” said Alasdair Neale, the symphony’s music director.

Here are some of the other highlights of this week’s free symphony concerts held at the Sun Valley Pavilion:

TONIGHT The symphony will perform Richard Strauss’ “Don Juan.”

The piece is so spirited and the orchestra that premiered it so

Manoel Felciano, who was nominated for a Tony Award for his portrayal of Tobias Ragg in the 2005 Broadway revival of “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” enthralled the symphony crowd Friday evening with his expressive narration of Igor Stravinsky’s “The Soldier’s Tale.” The piece tells the story of a soldier who trades his fiddle for a book that predicts the future. But, predictably, the soldier is tricked. In desperation, he convinces the Devil to play cards with him, hoping to lose all his ill-gotten riches to neutralize the Devil’s power over him. He succeeds but, as the audience learned, you don’t want to count out the Devil…

The City of Ketchum invites the community to celebrate ranching heritage at opening of new park.

There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony of the new Ketchum park at 10 a.m., this Monday, Aug. 12.

The new park is located along the Wood River Trail between River Ranch Road and Meadow Circle at the southwest city limit. Parking is available at angler access points on both roads (across the WRT) with a short stroll to the park.

Farnlun Park stands on a small portion of land first homesteaded by Nelson Bridge in 1882. It is a remnant of vast cattle ranching and dairy farming land owned by the Oscar Smith Farlun family. The park land and development funds were donated to the City of Ketchum by native resident and Farnlun’s daughter, Petra Morrison, in 2009.

811 First Ave. N., Hailey sluggish that Strauss exhorted the musicians to play as if they had just become engaged. The horn players ended up playing until they were “quite blue in the face” the whole affair was so strenuous, Strauss later commented.

Also on tap: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Minor,” which opens with one of the most spectacular passages in all of Western music, according to Jon Kochavi, who wrote a brief introduction for the symphony.

FRIDAY Summer Music Workshop students will present a concert featuring an intermediate and beginning student string orchestra, piano soloists, woodwind and brass ensembles, chamber ensembles and vocal ensembles at 3 p.m.

The evening concert at 6:30 p.m. will feature advanced students in the Philharmonic Orchestra, piano ensembles, advanced chamber ensemble, vocal ensemble and the Sun Valley Youth Orchestra and Chorus.

SATURDAY Pops Night; Bond and Beyond

SUNDAY The Lighter Side features guest artists Time for Three, who bill themselves as “the world’s first classically trained garage band,” according to the symphony’s executive director, Jennifer Teisinger.

The trio—double bass player Ranaan Meyer and violin players Zach De Pue and Nicolas Kendall—started out playing for fun while students at Philadelphia’s Curtis institute for Music. They have appeared everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Indy 500, performing music from Bach to The Beatles.

Look for them to play “Little Lion Man,” “Shenandoah/Foxdown,” “American Suite No. 2/ Wyoming 307,” “Forget About It,” Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and “Orange Blossom Special.”

Also on tap: Leonard Bernstein’s Three Dance Episodes from “On the Town.”

MONDAY The orchestra will perform selections from Sergei Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet.” Also, Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring.” (See related article on tws page 5.)

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I don't get it. Luck just seems to follow my friend Samantha when it comes to yard sales.

When I was redoing my living room, I told her I needed several three-foot wide curtain rods.

The next week, she handed me seven of them that she found at a yard sale for only a dollar.

When she had her baby, she furnished the entire nursery for less than $50, all from yard sales. She had one of the most beautiful cribs I'd ever seen. Then, when her church was starting a day care center, she donated a massive amount of toys in great condition, again from yard sales. I've asked her several times how she comes across these items so cheap. She says it just happens. I go to a few sales, but all I ever seem to buy is someone's old coffee pot or used coffee mugs. I want to find these great bargains too. How can I increase my luck?

• • • Carry: It can be frustrating to see someone else find all the deals, but look at the bright side. You should never have a shortage of coffee mugs.

Cash: While many people believe luck is just something you

have or that accidentally finds you, nothing could be further from the truth.

Carry: What you may consider "luck" is more that just accidental.

Lucky people are typically those who are good at keeping an open mind or putting themselves in situations that create opportunity.

Cash: For example, your friend may be good at picking yard sales from the classified ads that list items of interest. When she gets there, she probably sees lots of opportunity among all the things, rather than focusing on just the coffee mugs.

Carry: It also sounds like your friend visits a lot more yard sales

than you typically do. That will naturally increase her odds of finding a good bargain.

Cash: If you want to increase your luck, start by looking for yard sale ads that match your interests.

If you were looking to furnish a nursery, there would be a lot of opportunity shopping a yard sale that lists baby items for sale.

Carry: You could also tag along with your friend on her yard sale excursions. In addition to shopping, you can see first hand how "lucky" she is.

Cash: Although it is possible you're the lucky one. After all, how many people have friends who will shop for them?

Reader Humor Problem Solved

The luckiest day of this century may arguable be July 7, 2007 (a.k.a. 07/07/07). Not only did the gaming industry see a rise in participants, but the real fortune was for people getting married, or maybe those in the wedding industry. July 7, 2007 was one of the most popular wedding days in history. An estimated four times as many people tied the knot on that day than any other Saturday. Even celebrities got in on the lucky day.

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria got married, as did celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck.

Every Sunday a bunch of us guys get together to play softball for a few hours. Last week our first baseman, Jim, didn't make the game. Wondering why he missed it, I decide to give him a call.

He immediately apologized and told me that he forgot about the game. Apparently while holding a yard sale, he accidentally sold his wedding video in a box of old VHS tapes.

"My wife was so furious she wanted me to sleep on the couch," he said. "So I had to fix the problem."

"Did you get the video back?"

I asked.

"Not quite," he replied. "But I did sell the couch!"

(Thanks to Andy G.)

Jackpot

When it comes to the lottery, everyone wants to be lucky.

About one-half of all adults collectively spend $45 billion annually on 35,000 different lottery games nationwide. But before you pick your next numbers at random, consider this. Many of the state lottery commissions and lottery enthusiasts publish which numbers are most and least common. In Arizona, for example, the numbers 1, 2, 5, 8, and 13 are drawn the least. Of course, maybe the luckiest people are those who save their dollar.
