Symphony’s Andy Lewis Percussion plays important role in concerts
A
ndy Lewis often spends an entire evening on stage, standing at attention as he waits to play one note. But that singular clash of cymbals in Anton Bruckner’s seventh symphony or that 10second pounding of the kettle drums in another score may be the most important part of the concert, he says. “Those often constitute some very famous moments,” he says, explaining how he tries to pass the moments by not think-

CSI fall semester begins Monday
F
all semester begins Aug. 23 at the College of Southern Idaho. Registration is open now, and prospective students are encouraged to register as soon as possible because many classes are reaching their enrollment capacity. This fall, the CSI Blaine County Campus in Hailey offers 60 academic classes, 20 community education classes, an English as a Second Language program, and adult basic education classes. In addition, students can choose from a wide range of online courses. Students can accomplish their lower division general education requirements working solely from the CSI Blaine County Campus. “Over the past year, CSI has seen quite a surge in enrollment,” said Jenny Emery Davidson, director of the Blaine County Campus. “Here in Hailey, we’re seeing a lot of students choosing to start their college education locally to experience high-quality, small classes at an affordable price, and we’re seeing a lot of people come back to school to re-tool their skills for the changing marketplace.” More information is available at the CSI office at the Community Campus, by phone at 788-2033, and online at www.csi.edu/blaine.
Mariposa lily
Photo and Story By KAREN BOSSICK
The white mariposa lily is also known locally as the sego lily or star tulip. One form has been named Utah’s state flower. The tulip-shaped flower is like many of Sun Valley’s second-home owners, generally showing up in late June or early July and staying for the rest of the summer, enjoying the best of what summer has to offer. The flower can be seen along most Wood River Valley trails and north of Ketchum, as well. It features three white petals easily as large as a quarter with a deep purple splotch on each. Occasionally, the petals look a little pinkish, as well. Onion-like leaves occur at the base. The entire plant is edible. The highly nutritious bulbs were an important foodstuff for American Indians and pioneers, who dug them in spring before the plants flowered. They ate the bulbs raw or dried them and ground them into flour. Or they roasted them in hot ashes or boiled or steamed them. twp
