Saving Lolita: Whale’s Fate Rests in Hailey Woman’s Hands BY KAREN BOSSICK

s a Desert Storm veteran, Lynn Timm fought for the freedom of humans. Now she’s fighting for the freedom of orca whales—namely, a whale named Lolita. Timm, who lives in Hailey, is trying to collect 430,000 signatures on an online petition to provide the whale with more humane treatment –Lynn Timm than Timm says she’s receiving now. “Yes, that’s a lot,” says Timm, who so far has collected 1,800 signatures. “I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me. But I believe in freedom for people. I believe in freedom for all living creatures. And it kills me to see creatures like Lolita performing tricks their bodies are not meant to do.” Timm was awakened to Lolita’s plight when she and her husband Joby Timm spent their one-year anniversary last July whale watching by boat and kayak in the San Juan Islands off the Washington coast. They learned of Lolita while visiting the whale museum in Friday Harbor. “She is the last living orca from 50 orcas that were captured years ago. She has been residing in the Miami Seaquarium for 43 years in the smallest orca tank in the United States in violation of the Animal Welfare Act.” Lolita has spent 33 of those years alone, after her partner Hugo killed himself by bashing his head repeatedly against the wall of the tank. The plight of orca whales was brought to the public’s attention in the 1993 movie “Free Willy.” It starred Keiko as an orca who’d been captured off the Pacific Northwest coast and then rescued by a 12-year-old from the amusement park where he had been performing tricks. A new movie, “Blackfish,” opens at Ketchum’s Magic Lantern Cinemas on Friday and runs through Thursday, Sept. 26. The documentary looks inside the lives of captive orcas, including Tilikum, a bull orca that lives in captivity at SeaWorld Orlando, in Florida. The 22.5-foot, 12,000-pound whale has been involved in the deaths of three people, including a trainer who was drowned after a “Dine with Shamu” show in 2010. “Since the movie came out, SeaWor-

With Judd McMahan STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

udd McMahan missed the dirt beneath his fingernails. And he missed the kind of community that rallied around his friend after his house caught on fire. And so he and his wife Heather walked away from their Seattle apartment and his design career to hoe weeds near Bellevue. “Seeing my 5-year-old son Austin running around a hose naked reminds me of my own childhood riding horses, jumping on the tractor now and then,” said McMahan, who started life on a farm in Picabo. “I figured all we might get if our house burned down in Seattle was a night on someone’s couch. We found a farm that was available and unloved with an old ranch house that we have the electrician check every time he comes through. And we decided to go for it.” Today, McMahan’s five-acre Wood River Organics farm on Townsend Gulch Road is a showcase for high-altitude organic gardening. In fact, the farm served as the showpiece for a recent farm tour offered by the Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides, which attracted 32 people. Frances Prior came all the way from the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Owyhee, Nev. “I’m starting a garden there—I want to eat more healthily and so I wanted to find out about organic gardening,” said Prior, who represented the Duck Valley Hoop House and Garden. Auto mechanic Keith Selner came from—well—Bellevue, where he started an organic garden at home and now has three farms on which he raises enough produce to sell to the Bellevue General Store. “One day I walked into the grocery store and bought an ounce of baby kale for $15 and that got me started,” he said. “My day starts at 4:30 and I

return home at 9. But when you enjoy what you’re doing, it’s not an issue.” McMahan, likewise, started off small, simply trying to grow a variety of tomatoes. The first year he sold the 40 extra plants he had started in his motherin-law’s backyard. This spring he and his wife sold 2,200 tomato plants and the same number of pepper plants. “It’s a matter of finding the right varieties that do well in the Wood River Valley,” McMahan said. Today McMahan raises baby kale, carrots, beets, arugula, radishes, edamame, bok choy, broccoli and cauliflower, and fennel, among other things. “I’d never grown broccoli and cabbage well. Then I changed the variety and the location where I planted them. Now I have broccoli and cauliflower the size of dinner plates. It’s insane,” he said.

Oak Street caterers prepared a number of dishes using McMahan’s produce for tour-goers. Among them: black rice salad with edamame and snap peas; beet kale salad with goat cheese, tomatoes and almonds; mixed greens with sweet turnips; and Chinese chicken salad with Napa cabbage.

e know more about outer space, or subatomic particles, than we know about oceans or life in the soil. We can’t see it; we don’t study it. Oceanography is the runt of the scientific litter, and its scientists readily admit that their ignorance is far greater than their knowledge. It applies to all of us. There’s been a lot written about what we are doing to our oceans—acidification and destruction of coral reefs and fisheries, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, cruise ships’ discharge, oceanic dead zones, molasses or oil spills, the socioeconomic costs of rising sea levels, etc. The actual mechanisms of ocean circulation that are more crucial for our future than our CO2 emissions are rarely mentioned. As anyone who has lived by the sea knows, the ocean is a great moderator of temperature extremes. It absorbs excess heat and releases it during a freeze. It also recirculates water over large distances without blending or dilution (hence, the Gulf Stream, or the La Niña and El

Niño cycles of the eastern Pacific). The ocean has the highest heat capacity (hc)—it requires the largest amount of heat to change its temperature. The first 3 feet of ocean water has the hc of the entire atmosphere—this is a factor of 1000. It has 100 times the hc of land, which is static, quick to heat and quick to cool. The ocean dampens temperature variability on all time scales, from annual to millennial. Along with particulate matter pollution in the upper atmosphere, the oceans also have kept us cooler than we could be. If the ocean’s hc is strike one, its physical structure is strike two. It basically consists of three layers. The first is the ‘mixed layer’—about 150 to 300 feet in depth. This absorbs and distributes all annual temperature variations. Then comes the thermocline, which extends from 300 to 3000 feet. This acts as a referee between the warmer, less dense surface and the colder, denser, more saline water of the depths. Below all that is the abyss of movie fame which, in the Mariana Trench, can be 30,000 feet deep. Over thousands of years, its temperature has varied less than one degree. Strike three is ‘meridional overturning circulation’ (MOC), which is created by the temperature contrasts between the

Make Your Hunt Camp Environmentally Sound

ince hunting season will soon be in full swing, here are some suggestions for planning hunt camps that are environmentally sound and respectful of nature. These days most campsites don’t have garbage collection; be prepared to take it home. Burning garbage is inadvisable because it releases toxins into the air and, let’s face it, leaving partly burned cans and bottles in the fire ring is disrespectful of the next campsite user. Set aside a separate container to haul recyclables home. Reduce waste by purchasing supplies without excess packaging. Bring water in large carboys instead of individual bottles. Washable dishes and utensils avoid mountains of wasteful “disposable” dishware. Pour your wash water into the ground at least 100 feet from any water source, to protect our resourc-

es. Food waste should also be carried home; throwing it into the bushes attracts animals and leaves an ugly mess behind to greet the next camper. Deposit solid human waste in “cat holes” dug 6 to 8 inches deep, at least 200 feet from water, camp and trails. Cover and disguise the cat hole when finished, and pack out the toilet paper. If fires are permitted, use the existing campfire circle. Burn only fallen, dry wood; limbs chopped off green trees won’t burn anyway. Make sure that your campfire is completely out and the ashes are cool, then police the area one last time. Interested in learning more about the aftermath of wildfire?

heat it receives. The atmosphere is quick to respond with downpours, like the one in Boulder and elsewhere. The overall ocean will warm up and equilibriate over a very long time—100 times as long as the mixed layer. So even if we cease emissions by mid-century, surface temperatures will continue to rise until the deep ocean equilibriates centuries from now. Then it will be centuries still before things can return to normal. We’re in it for the long haul. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

Freezing Fresh Summer Fruits

s the days grow shorter and we head into fall, now is the time to preserve a little bit of summer’s brightest fruits for future consumption. It’s a practical and economical way to enjoy a little bit of summer in cold winter months. Prepping the fruit Whatever type of produce you pick, pick ones that are in good condition. They should be free of bruises and decay, and you should also remove their stems, leaves, or pits when applicable. Berries: Give your berries a good rinse, scanning through to remove debris, leaves, or any berries that seem bruised or mushy. Once they’ve been cleaned, pour them out onto a dry cloth or paper towel. For stone fruits: peaches, nectarines, apricots, and cherries need to be pitted and halved prior to being frozen, for the best results. Run your paring knife around the fruit, all the way to the pit, until it’s halved. Gently twist the fruit in the opposite directions around the cut. Sep-

arate the halves and slice them into quarters. Discard the seeds. Coat your slices in a little sugar and lemon juice. This helps keep your stone fruits from drying out and browning as they freeze. Halve your melons, scooping out the seeds. Peel and cut the fruit into little cubes, or use a melon baller to scoop out little circles. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour your fruit of choice onto the sheet into a single layer and pop it into the freezer overnight (or until they’ve frosted over). Freezing it this way keeps the fruits from freezing together in a big clump. Once the individual fruits have frozen over, toss them into a Ziploc bag, mark them, and store and enjoy them as you tws want!

Warming has a long way to go, because it has only heated the first 2000 feet or so. The sleeping giant is slow to wake, but then it will take a long time before we can reverse warming’s effects—centuries. Accumulated CO2 will take all that time to return to normal levels—let’s say 200 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere. The mixed layer is equilibriating now; i.e., it gives up 90-plus percent of the

s a wife behind the badge, Amanda Ornelas believes that law enforcement officers don’t always get the pats on the back that they deserve. Consequently, she and others are throwing a picnic for area law enforcement officers and their families on Saturday as part of the second annual National Thank a Police Officer Day. The 90-plus law enforcement officers in the Wood River Valley have been invited to the shindig, which will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday at Hop Porter Park. “We’re trying to get enough food donated. So far, we have KB’s and Despo’s on board,” said Ornelas, Idaho Auxiliary director of the non-profit Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. The organization, part of a nationwide organization, supports officers and their families’ emotional and financial needs and serves as a positive voice for law enforcement. Last year Ornelas and others took cookies around to the various departments. But only on-duty police officers benefitted from that. “We thought this would be something more rewarding,” said Ornelas. “Law enforcement is a thankless profession, for the most part. I think it’s important that officers should be appreciated for all they do.” tws

Loporchio’s United States Dreams BY JONATHAN KANE

or Italian exchange student Martina Loporchio, living in the USA has always been a cherished dream. As part of the American Field Service exchange program, she had to submit choices of where she would like to come and study. At the top of her list was America, followed by Finland. “When I found out I was coming here, I started crying because I was so happy. My dream had come true,” she said. “Everyone wants to come to America. I really like to travel and meet new people and experience their cultures and I’ve always wanted to live the life of the American people. Growing up, I saw a lot of movies about the USA, so of course it was a place that I really wanted to see. Now that I’m here, I truly love everything about it. The family I am staying with—the Baileys—couldn’t be nicer. Last week I went to my first football game and was involved as a water girl and a cheerleader. It was really fun being on the field because I felt that I was a part of all the action.” Martina arrived on August 8 after traveling from her home city of Cerignola, Italy, to Rome, Frankfurt, Seattle and then the Wood River Valley. Cerignola has a population of 65,000 and is a short drive to the seashore. “Everything is so different here from the city and the ocean—especially the mountains. It’s all new and I really like it. Also, it never snows where I’m from and I’m really excited to live in it and play in it. I’ve never skied before and I’m anxious to

give it a try.” As for Wood River High School, things could not be going better. “The teachers are great and I love my classmates. Everyone has really embraced me and made me feel at home here. I especially like changing classrooms for each class. In Italy we don’t do that.” Her English could not be better probably because she studied it for 10 years back home. “It’s not that hard for me but I still have a

Hunger Coalition Offers Free Snack Packs for Kids

The Hunger Coalition asks: Are your kids eating you out of house and home? Perhaps the most common scene witnessed by parents today is that of their child standing in front of the open refrigerator or cupboard pondering what’s available to eat. The metabolism and activity levels of most kids keeps families in a constant state of catch-up and requiring a bevy of snack options, adding a substantial amount to the grocery bill and to the stress of parents trying to make ends meet. The Hunger Coalition has talked to a lot of parents and they have heard you loud and clear: Kids need more healthy snacks! Getting kids to eat healthy snacks is often the biggest hurdle for parents. Talking about good nutrition is about as fun to children as getting a flu shot. In their mission to help build the healthiest Wood River Valley possible, The Hunger Coalition is partnering with local schools to get fun, nutritious foods into the hands of active kids, helping parents meet their own mission to keep their kids’ bellies full of good food! Everyone loves a tasty snack. We all know kids can be picky eaters. Now parents don’t have to worry about saying “no” to snacks. The Hunger Coalition’s Snack Packs make healthy food fun. Kids in local schools can receive tasty and nutritious snacks to keep them focused in class and ready for physical activity. The Snack Packs contain fresh fruits, fun proteins and kid-friendly options. The best part is that the snacks are free! Thanks to generous donors, The Hunger Coalition is able to provide Snack Packs at no cost. Interested parents are encouraged to contact them for more information at 788-0121.

ld stock has plummeted and so has attendance. As the movie plays around the nation, including here in Ketchum, my belief and hope is that this trend will continue,” says Timm. Lolita was kidnapped from Penn Cove, Whidbey Island, off the Washington coast, with six other orca whales in 1970 and sold to the marine park for $60,000. Four babies and an adult were killed in the attempt and the kidnappers slit their bellies and filled them with rocks to try to sink them. But the whales washed up on shore. Lolita’s mother, Ocean Sun, is now 82 years old and still swimming in the ocean. Timm believes Lolita would recognize her based on the dialect whales use with one another. “They’ve played the sounds for her and she shows she recognizes them,” says Timm. “I look at her in that tank and wonder how she even swims—there’s no room. Yet, she’s in that tank 24/7. Lolita has a will to live— she’s lived a long time.” Timm has spoken to Bob Barker, the former host of “The Price is Right,” twice on behalf of Lolita, whom she says should have been listed in the Endangered Species Act along with her

The National Marine Fisheries Service has until the end of January 2014 to re-evaluate that decision. “This time around she has a voice, a voice she should have had then,” Timm says. “I truly believe she is the catalyst to make changes for all orcas in captivity. That’s why this is so near and dear to my heart.” To access Timm’s petition site and Facebook page, go to http://www.thepetitionsite. com/485/322/062/urge-nmfsto-rectify-exclusion-of-lolita-from-the-esa-and-bringlolita-home/ and https:// www.facebook.com/pages/ Lolitas-Hope-BRING-MEOME/545877135478145?ref=hl

any of them had been reading about snakes and other reptiles all summer long as part of the Hailey Public Library’s summer reading program. Those youngsters and their parents swelled the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater a couple weeks ago—a few short hours ahead of the Beaver Creek Fire’s dramatic romp through Greenhorn—to see some of the reptiles they’d been reading about in person. Their host: Corbin Maxey, the Reptile Guy. Just 23, Maxey is a reptile expert who has been featured on a variety of TV shows. And his sidekicks include boas, tortoises and Burmese pythons that, in some cases, were abandoned by their owners in Boise apartments. One of the crowd pleasers was Tinkerbell, a 40-year-old tortoise that weighs 80 pounds. Males can grow to 160 pounds on the bananas they eat, Maxey said. A 15-foot Burmese python, found abandoned in a Boise apartment, can grow 20 feet long and weigh as much as 360 pounds, he said. “They eat monkeys, pigs, deer. Yes, if they can eat a full-grown deer, they can eat you!” Corbin told the wide-eyed children. Maxey told the children if they’d like to pursue a career like his, they should start by researching the animals they were interested in. “Read, read, read!” he said. tws

STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

he sunflowers soared sky high and the red amaranth with its seedy lance-like leaves awaited harvesting as The Hunger Coalition hosted its second annual Wine in the Garden party last week. The party was designed to thank members of the Papoose Club, the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation, the Little Black Dress Club, 100 Men Who Care and The Rosies, a philanthropic group that gives of time, rather than money, to charitable causes. Grants from the organizations helped The Hunger Coalition remodel its Bellevue food bank distribution center and teach clients how to use the fresh produce made available to them this summer. Those who showed up, such as Carol Scheifele-Holmes, who represented the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation, and Tricia Swartling, who represented the Little Black Dress Club, were offered tours of the garden, which sports some humongous artichoke plants, eggplants and the beautiful red amaranth. Garden Education Manager Hallie Reikowsky said she is looking for a way to mill the amaranth seeds to make a gluten-free flour. WOW students built a greenhouse for the garden across the street in the backyard of the Blaine County Extension office. And several families grew plots this summer, learning gardening techniques they can use to grow gardens at homes. They were mentored by two families who learned gardening skills last year. “Even the kids get into the act,” said program director Naomi Spence. Education Manager Kat Vanden Heuvel said the Coalition’s pilot Sack Lunch Program provided free lunches every Wednesday for children in need at camps held by the YMCA, Atkinson Park and the Blaine County Recreation District. “You never know how help is going to be received. But when our van pulled up to the Y and we brought the lunches in, the whole camp would cheer and say, ‘Thank you!’ ” she recounted. “It’s awesome to see the kids say, ‘I’m going to have a fun day and not worry about being hungry.” Naomi Spence said the Coalition would love to engage the community in building a public stage between the garden and the Blaine County Courthouse

the Hunger coalition by the numbers

• Provided fresh and non-perishable foods to 482 local families during 2012—the equivalent of 98,000 meals. • Distributed more than 10,000 bottles of infant formula since 2005.

• Distributed more than 4,100 backpacks filled with easy-to-prepare meals for students to eat on weekends when school is not in session.

• Served 28,500 free meals to kids through the Summer Food Program at Woodside Elementary since 2008.

• Has produced more than 5,000 pounds of fresh produce in the Community Hope Garden.

Hallie Reikowsky is looking for someone to mill the amaranth seeds—amaranth plants can produce as many as 60,000 seeds for cereal and gluten-free flour. Not technically a grain, the amaranth is a relative of beets, Swiss chard, spinach and quinoa. It is a valuable source of lysine, calcium, iron and magnesium. Reikowsky says the garden hopes to harvest 1,600 pounds of produce for Hunger Coalition clients this year.

Naomi Spence gives Carol Scheifele-Holmes a tour of the Hope Garden’s sunflowers and squash during the Wine in the Garden party.

where public music performances, dances and other events could be held. Not only would that be a good location for a community gathering place, but it would bring attention to the garden, she said. Reikowsky noted that the garden, which hopes to produce 1,600 pounds of produce this

year, sits on what used to be the site of the Blaine County Jail. “Now you can walk in and feel the romance of the garden, and the privilege we have of not eating from a can all the time,” she added. tws

Wine Party Puts Public Face on Hope Garden

BY MARGOT VAN HORN

was fortunate enough to have traveled for a month throughout India a while ago. I fell in love with that country. I know that a lot of people say that the abject poverty and the results of that depresses them too much to go. And many of those who go, in spite of knowing that, are totally shocked by the obvious class distinctions and circumstances in that country. For myself, I felt that you had to accept what you saw and find the good—which I found was the love in the Indian heart.

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

I think that this book is so wonderful because it truly represents the world in India in a very realistic way. You encounter the well-to-do as well as those enmeshed in dire poverty. You are presented with the close and tying relationships of the characters in this book in spite of their class division. It is a story that really could have happened and maybe is based on a true happening. The story revolves around the long-standing domestic servant, Bhima’s, relationship with an upper-middle-class family home and, in particular, with the lady of the house, Sera Dubash. The story line deals with AIDS, pregnancies, lies, deceits, battered wives, domineering mothers-in-

law, alcoholism and truly many things that we also have and are still experiencing here in our country; however, because it is set in India and life there truly is quite different than here, the tale is an Indian one. It is a book full of twists and turns, tragedies and hope. As one well-written reviewer said: “Sera and Bhima always shared a bond that transcended class and race; a bond shared by two women whose fate always seemed to rest in the hands of others, just out of their control.” Say I: “Well said.” Enjoy and, by the way, reading it twice over is not a waste of time.

Group Pushes for School Gardens, More STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

hen Manon Gaudreau’s granddaughter asked a question about gardening, the Hailey woman responded by planting a garden to offer her granddaughter a hands-on lesson. She wants other schoolchildren to have the same opportunity. That’s why she’s joined a group of local parents, grandparents, farmers and health professionals to promote “Fresh Food and School Gardens in Blaine County Schools.” The group presented a proposal to the Blaine County School District last week. They want to: • Have schools serve more fresh fruits and vegetables, produced locally when possible, and serve more healthy meals and less processed food. • Establish a school-wide gardening program to educate students about where food comes from. The garden could become a classroom with opportunities for data collecting, mathematics, science and biology lessons, and art classes. • Educate students about healthy nutrition, expanding the existing Nurture program, which offers nutritional workshops in some schools. The group has collected about 360 signatures on its petition so far. “In many ways, Wood River Valley residents are more food conscious and affluent than the average U.S. population. And yet our school district is lagging behind in implementing nutrition education, school garden programs, comprehensive Farmto-School programs and preparing fresh meals from scratch on premises,” said Gaudreau. “It’s important to offer these things because studies show food habits are formed early in childhood and can have a significant impact on academic work, behavior, school attendance and health.” The drive for better food and better food education started in the Environmental Resource Center’s discussion group last spring on sustainability. But it didn’t stop with small talk. As participants learned what schools across the nation were doing, they began wondering how a valley with so many foodies could let its schools serve corporate food. “The group that provides our food service provides food for airlines, hospitals—anywhere you find masses of food. They can order their food at ridiculously low prices—they can get a whole case of canned peaches for $3.60. But our district has money, and we’d like to use some of that money so they can prepare some healthy meals, rather than just buying chicken nuggets,” said Gaudreau.

“Show students the way things should be” Kathy Noble, who has an organic farm in Bellevue, said she learned about fresh things because she grew up on a farm. But a lot of kids today don’t get that experience. Instead, they are lured in by what marketing wants them to eat. That has led in part to a nation where 23.5 million children are overweight or obese, putting them at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, cancers and diabetes, which is harder to treat in kids. A baby born today will have a lower life expectancy than that of his or her parents and grandparents because of obesity and related illnesses, Noble pointed out. And it’s not just a problem with poor families who don’t get enough to eat or who lack the means to buy more expensive, healthy foods. Middle- and upper-income families consume enough calories but are malnourished because they’re eating the wrong things. Only 2 percent of school-aged children consume the recommended number of daily servings from all food groups. The solution, Noble said, is to have schools show students the way things should be. “Athletes have high prescribed diets. We should have the same for mental excellence,” she added. Knowledge is power Kids are more interested in eating foods they’ve helped to grow. And knowledge empowers them to embrace healthy eating habits—people are apt to eat less, for instance, if they know how many miles they have to walk to burn off the calories from a Big Mac, Noble said. Yes, it’s a challenge to grow things here given the short growing season. But improved greenhouse technology is making a difference. And French gardens in the 1800s supplied all the vegetables for France and England, even though France sits farther north than Sun Valley. “There are only two months of the year when plants don’t grow here—December and January,” she added. Stacy Whitman sends her second-grader to Hemingway Elementary School with either a red pepper hummus wrap stuffed with broccoli, shredded carrots, spinach and quinoa, or a turkey avocado sandwich. She augments those with red peppers, carrots and snow peas from her backyard. But she is jazzed about utilizing garden programs to get kids interested in eating fruits and vegetables. “I think the food director for the school district does an amazing job with what he’s got

to work with—I don’t think the schools are equipped to do a lot of home cooking. But I’d like to see less reliance on canned and processed food,” she said. Gaudreau said she buys 80 percent of her produce from local sources and cooks much of what she and her husband Aubrey eat because they’re concerned about their health and maintaining a healthy weight. And they want to see the same courtesy extended to youngsters. “We’re involved with Footlight Dance and we consider those kids our grandkids. We want them to be healthy,” she said. “Perhaps we could even expand the school teaching to community events, like family dinners where we teach families how to use fresh produce. I freeze the greens of radishes, turnips and beets, for instance, and bring them out in winter to use in soups. But a lot of people don’t know you can do that.”

at other schools…

The nearby Gooding School District was the first in the nation to receive the Healthier U.S. School Challenge’s Gold with Distinction Award, even though its budget is considerably smaller than the Blaine County School District. The district gets much of its produce and its fish, meat and dairy from local or regional farmers, and food service cooks meals on the premises. They bake instead of fry. They even substitute pureed beans for some of the oil in the chocolate cake without the students noticing the difference. Several schools—Buhl, Glenns Ferry, Castleford and Hansen and the Idaho State School for the Deaf and Blind—have formed a buying co-op with Gooding to secure fresh food locally. And Minidoka County Schools kicked off its new pilot program this year with a menu that featured finger steaks, corn on the cob, fingerling potatoes, nectarines and milk—all from Idaho. The program requires no new funding and everything is bought through an operating expense, as well as federal reimbursement through the Free and Reduced Lunch program. tws

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR SEPT. 18 FROM PICABO ANGLER

here hasn’t been a dull moment for anglers and hunters this fall as the conditions left behind by the local fires has essentially ended seasons in certain hunting units and fishing on certain rivers. The Big Wood River, the South Fork of the Boise and many smaller streams have filled with ash and will remain unfishable for the time being. It’s a hard pill to swallow right now, but one thing we can count on is the resiliency of Mother Nature. The rivers, the fish, the elk, the grouse and the trees will all come back. Based on history they will come back even stronger than when we lost them. So be patient, be flexible and be ready for new opportunities. Silver Creek remains the stalwart fishery we’ve come to expect. Baetis and Callibaetis are the main bugs on the Creek right now, with a trickle of Mahogany Duns beginning to show up on the cooler afternoons. The Hopper fishing remains strong and the wind the past few days has made it even better. Many anglers are reporting that Ant patterns are the best fly in their box right now. Expect the Mahogany action to pick up as we receive our first true fall weather. The Lost River, both upper and lower also remain strong fisheries. The hatches are mainly Baetis and some Caddis on the upper Lost. Hoppers both above and below the dam are working well. The place to think about exploring right now, especially as things cool is the Big Wood below Magic Reservoir. The canyon water has been shut off and the fishery is under salvage, but there are still some big fish in those pools. Upland hunting remains fantastic for both Doves and Grouse. The numbers of both remain strong. Expect the Dove numbers to diminish this week, but the Grouse hunting should stay strong right up until our first snow falls. Sage Grouse, Hungarian Partridge, Chukar and Quail all open on September 21st. If you hunt Sage Grouse, don’t forget you will need a special Permit and the season is only a week long with a one bird a day limit, so if you want to hunt this species, plan well and set your hunt in advance. Last note on upland hunting: The snake activity is strong this year. The drought has brought prey and predator to nearby water sources, so please be aware! It will snow soon enough, so be safe with your dogs in the meantime.

Understanding Identity Fraud BY BETH LANDES, US BANK

hat is it? Identity fraud is when a criminal steals personal information about an individual and assumes his or her identity by applying for credit, running up huge bills, stiffing creditors and wrecking the victim’s credit history. In the U.S., 12.6 million people – or one out of every 20 consumers – were victims of identity fraud last year. How does it happen? Identity theft continues to be one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States. Traditionally, criminals gain access to a victim’s personal information from a stolen wallet or mail. Another common method is called “friendly fraud” because the criminal is a friend or family member with access to the victim’s personal information. Online and mobile threats continue to grow. According to Javelin Strategy & Research, there are 105 million smartphone users and 42 million tablet users in the U.S. Fraudsters use malware, exploit software vulnerabilities, launch phishing attacks, and compromise unsecured WiFi connections to obtain users’ personal information. How long does it take to recover and who are the victims? On average, victims of identity fraud spend 12 hours resolving the issue, but more than half of all victims spend three hours or less resolving fraud incidents

with their providers, according to Javelin Strategy & Research. The Federal Trade Commission releases a report detailing identity theft complaints from consumers each year. Young adults 20 to 29 years old were the most commonly affected age group in 2012 at 21 percent. Children are also common targets of identity fraud. Many kids do not find out their information was used – often by a parent of family member – until they apply for credit in their late teens. How do banks and credit card companies protect me? Banks use a combination of safeguards to protect your information, such as employee training, strict privacy policies, rigorous security standards, encryption of information, and fraud detection programs and procedures. Banks also put safeguards on their online banking programs, so that customers can enjoy the convenience without worrying about the security of their information. Credit card issuers have advanced security systems in place that flag unusual account activity. In addition, a complex encryption technology allows them to ensure that your online purchases are secure. Finally, many companies also offer options such as adding your photo to your credit card. Customers are protected from loss. Most bank-related incidents of ID theft limit customer liability to $50 of unauthorized charges, and many lenders will

even waive that amount if the loss is reported in a timely manner and an affidavit or attestation to the theft is signed.

Steps to Take If You Are a Victim of Identity Fraud What should you do if you are a victim of identity fraud? • Call your bank and credit card issuers immediately so they can close your accounts. • Contact the fraud unit of the three credit reporting agencies. Place a fraud alert on your credit report and consider placing a credit freeze so the criminal can’t open new accounts. The fraud unit numbers are: Equifax: (800) 525-6285; Experian: (888) 397-3742; and TransUnion: (800) 680-7289 • Report the fraud to the Federal Trade Commission at consumer.gov/idtheft or call 1-877- IDTHEFT (1-877-4384338). • File a police report. • Make sure to maintain a log of all the contacts you make with authorities regarding the matter. Write down names, titles and phone numbers in case you need to re-contact them.

tips to avoid identity fraud

• Don’t provide your Social Security number or account information to anyone who contacts you online or over the phone. • Shred receipts, banks statements and unused credit card offers before throwing them away. • Keep an eye out for missing mail, such as monthly bank or credit card statements. Consider enrolling in online banking to reduce the likelihood of paper statements being stolen.

• Don’t mail bills from your own mailbox with the flag up. • Monitor your financial accounts regularly for fraudulent transactions. Alert your financial institution right away if you believe you are a victim of fraud. • Order a free copy of your credit report every four months from one of the three credit reporting agencies at annualcreditreport.com. • When conducting business online, make sure your browser’s padlock or key icon is active. Also look for an “s” after the “http” to be sure the website is secure. • Make sure the virus protection software on your computer is active and up to date. • Do not reveal sensitive or personal information on social networking sites. • Protect your PINs and passwords and do not share them with anyone. Use a combination of letters and numbers for your passwords and change them periodically. • Sign up for text or e-mail alerts from your bank for certain types of transactions, such as online purchases or transactions of more than $500. • Before you donate, sell or trade your mobile device, be sure to wipe it using specialized software or using the manufacturer’s recommended technique. Some software allows you to wipe your device remotely if it is lost or stolen. • Use the passcode lock on your smartphone and other devices. This will make it more difficult for thieves to access your information if your device is lost or stolen. • Report any suspected fraud to your bank immediately.

movie review

Young Love, Disappointments BY JONATHAN KANE

Jon rated this movie

he new coming-of-age flick The Spectacular Now delivers fully where so many other films this summer have failed. It should be noted that it is part of the much needed Magic Lantern Cinema’s Fall Film Festival in Ketchum where the finest films of the last few months are thankfully showcased. It’s been a brutal summer and it’s nice to have your faith restored in the magic of film and the joy of filmmaking. Although the genre has been well mined, the story of teenagers falling in love and facing an uncertain future can still deliver new twists. Such is the case with this fine new film. But what really makes it stand out are the phenomenal performances of the two leads – Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley playing very believable 17-year-olds and their respective ages of 26 and 21. Woodley stood out (that’s an understatement) opposite George Clooney in The Descendants and Teller bursts on the scene as one to definitely watch for in

the future. Together they play two teenagers plagued by family troubles and surprisingly drawn together, seeing that they are on opposite ends of the high school pecking order. The depths of their portrayals, a large portion of it shot in extreme closeups, is something not seen often on the screen. Great credit must also be given to director James Ponsoldt who has the deft touch to orchestrate some incredible scenes, most notably the tender and touching scene where the couple first make love. But essentially this is Teller’s story. He is a young man grappling with a lack of desire for any future and a tremendous alcoholism problem. How he resolves this is the true course of the film’s story arc. It is also a journey that stands out among recent films. tws

Wildfire Recovery on Private Land

STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

ibbon-cutting be damned! Youngsters wasted no time in trying out the new Splash Park at Atkinson’s Park in Ketchum last week, making for one of the quickest ribbon-cutting ceremonies ever. The splash pad was first initiated by former Parks and Recreation Department Director Kirk Mason in 2006. The community readily donated $26,460 toward it, before the economic recession

caused the project to stall. It became reality with part of the $141,167 the city of Ketchum saved by partnering with the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office for police services. The Hemingway Elementary fifth-grade class of 2012 topped it off by donating $500 toward the project as its graduation gift to the school. “It’s another amenity for the children and families of Ketchum,” noted Ketchum Mayor Randy Hall as he watched the children play in the water. tws

The Blaine County Noxious Weed Department and the University of Idaho Blaine County Extension Office are hosting a workshop entitled “Wildfire Recovery on Private Land” from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24 in the Minnie Moore Room of the Community Campus in Hailey. Representatives from the Idaho Department of Water Resources, Blaine County, U.S. Forest Service and the BLM will be discussing water issues, soil health, noxious weed mitigation and recreational use and closures. While everyone is welcome to attend, we will specifically address issues facing homeowners affected by the Beaver Creek Fire and subsequent mudslides as they work to recover the health of their land. No RSVP is necessary, but for questions, please contact the Blaine County Noxious Weed Department at 788-5516 or the University of Idaho Blaine County Extension Office at 788-5585.

K. Waters Graphic Design FOR THE WEEKLY SUN

fter studying fine art and advertising at Columbia College Chicago and the Art Institute of Chicago, owner Karen Waters headed to Blaine County to fill a position as graphic designer at a local agency in Ketchum. Her passion for art and graphics has been around for as long as she can remember. Aside from her graphic business, Karen paints dog portraits with watercolor and does large abstracts with acrylics on canvas. She is also in charge of Sunday School art projects at Emmanuel Episcopal Church. “Oh, and my husband Lamar and son Jed are a work of art as well!” When asked about her graphics company, Karen said, “I chose to focus on designing print material rather than web design because I love holding the final piece in my hand. I enjoy the traditional printing process, the paper choices, the presses, the smell of the ink. What makes my job worthwhile is working together with clients to produce

printed pieces that capture their message, their product, their service, their soul, with the main goal of creating marketing material that makes their business succeed and visually look good. I get to experience and appreciate the “behind-the-scenes” effort that businesses go through in order to give us, the public, the best representation of what they have to offer. I treasure my clients and I always look forward to helping new businesses shine.” Check out Karen’s online portfolio at kwaters33.com to see if you recognize any of her work! tws

Spicy Curry Meatballs I BY MARGOT VAN HORN

loved traveling throughout India; to see what I consider an excellent book about India, please see this edition’s Read It column. India was so exotic and the people so loving. Also, I thought that the food was terrifically good as well as healthy. You just had to watch where you ate. Now, I often add curry and similar spices to my foods. Here is one recipe that I really think is easy/tasty. You don’t often think of India and meatballs, since it seems to be more traditionally an Italian or even Hungarian dish; however, India has a myriad of recipes for their meatballs—some stuffed with hard-boiled eggs, others with dried plums and raisins. I don’t usually use processed ingredients; however, I do really like this particular product that I have mentioned in this recipe. So, here’s my take on an Indian meatball curry. Spicy Meatball Curry Serves 4

Meatball Ingredients: 1 lb. ground turkey (I use freshly butchered ground turkey, but if you insist, you can use beef or lamb) 2 cloves garlic, chopped Salt to taste 1/4 C. fresh mint leaves, chopped, plus some for final topping

FREE classiﬁed

ads

1/4 C. fresh parsley, chopped, plus some for final topping 1 1/4 tsp. paprika 1 1/4 tsp. ground cumin 1/2 tsp. coriander seeds (you can also use the ground variety; I prefer the seeds) 1/4 C. plain breadcrumbs 2 Tbsp. olive oil 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated 4 Tbsp. onion, chopped Meatball Directions: Combine all the meatball ingredients and, with damp hands, form about 24 meatballs. At this point you can refrigerate them for several hours to have the ingredients meld, but if you don’t have the time to do this, don’t bother. They will still be very tasty. Curry Sauce Ingredients: One Kitchens of India Paste for Butter Chicken Curry in the 3.5-oz. package (found at Atkinsons’ Market) or, if you would rather, make your own curry sauce 2-3 C. water (or a bit more if you wish the sauce to be a little thinner and less spicy) 1 2-inch stick of cinnamon 4 Tbsp. plain yogurt and extra for final topping (I use the Greek kind and it can be either wholemilk or non-fat) 4 whole cloves 2 to 4 heaping Tbsp. of medium-heat chipotle salsa (see how different countries’ specialties

can meld) 2 or more Tbsp. of currants or raisins

Final directions: Put sauce ingredients in large skillet and slowly cook on top of stove on medium heat. Stir until all ingredients are well blended and simmer with a tight-fitting lid for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then add meatballs in a single layer in the sauce and simmer with the lid on for 50-60 minutes. Shake pan occasionally or very gently stir, being careful not to break up the meatballs. I turn the meatballs over in the sauce very carefully about 3 times during the whole cooking time. Remove the cinnamon stick and serve with or over rice or with nan. Top this dish with a generous dab of yogurt to set off the spices and decorate it with some leftover mint and parsley.

Margot is a self-taught, enthusiastic and passionate cook. Having been an innkeeper for five years at her own inn, she accumulated a lot of good recipes, which she loves to share.

ORGANIC FARMING, from page 1

Travis cleans arugula.

Judd McMahan says his mechanical harvester has revolutionized his work.

with scissors. Now he pushes a mechanical harvester into 250 pounds of greens. In less than a minute, he can harvest what used to take him 20 minutes to cut by hand. He offers 30 varieties of greens in his gourmet salad mix, with different varieties coming up depending on the time of year. He can supply fresh greens to the Boise market when temperatures reach 100 degrees in the Treasure Valley, causing greens to bolt. And he is able to store his carrots and beets, selling them through the winter. “It’s a lot of work—I’m producing something all year long. I’m up to five acres now and I can’t do much more than six,” he said. McMahan usually starts seeding the last week of April. But this spring the soil was like talcum powder—the moisture content was so low. He had to wait until irrigation water deliveries began on May 1. Last year, autumn’s first freeze his McMahan’s farm late in August. But, since it only lasts a couple of days, he figures he can get another month out of his farm if he covers his plants. Last year he harvested produce until Nov. 7, although he didn’t relish harvesting in the cold. Tracking the life of the lettuce leaf Always experimenting, McMahan originally rotated crops every three years to reduce pests. But he decided rotating crops was depleting the soil’s fertility. Now he smothers soil with crimson clover and a cover crop mix of peas, vetch and oats to keep weeds in check and build soil fertility. Cleanliness is paramount. Mc-

Mahan ’s employees wash produce by hand and bleach. They clean the mechanical harvester after every three hours of use. And they clean out the sink in which they wash the produce at the end of every day, covering it. “You can’t eliminate problems on a farm. All you can do is manage the amount. With frequent cleaning, we limit the amount of produce that might be affected by something like E. coli. If I were to have produce recalled, I can restrict it to those three hours between the time I cleaned it and the next cleaning,” he said. Marketing is the real Achilles heel for a farmer, he said, along with documenting produce from seed to harvest. He keeps detailed records about when he harvests produce and puts it in the refrigerator— even how long it takes to get it washed and sorted so he can pinpoint what caused a problem quickly if one should occur. “This organic thing is such a pain—it costs a thousand dollars a year and I spend two hours a day documenting when I’d rather be out in the field. But I’ve been certified so long—nine years. And for the first time we’re getting clients, like the Boise Co-op, because we’re certified organic,” he said. McMahan takes pride in the nutritious organic food he sells at farmers’ markets in Ketchum and Hailey, Atkinsons’ Market, local restaurants and the Idaho’s Bounty food cooperative. “I figure buying stuff from out of state when it’s available here is insanity. We offer greens loaded with flavor and you won’t get that from greens shipped here from California,” he said. Jennifer Miller, of the North-

Sun Valley Harvest Festival Touts Food Entrepreneurs BY KAREN BOSSICK

ike Fata stumbled onto hemp foods as a teenager after losing more than 100 pounds left him feeling unhealthy and depleted. He didn’t keep the secret of the nutrient-rich hemp to himself. He helped legalize industrial hemp in Canada, essentially starting a whole new industry with his Manitoba Harvest company. He developed ways to process hemp. And he built a trendy hemp foods market touting such products as Hemp Hearts—soft seeds that taste a bit like sunflower seeds or pine nuts and that can be sprinkled over cereal, yogurt or salad or added to smoothie and other recipes. Justin Gold, meanwhile, was on his way to becoming a lawyer when an internship in a law firm convinced him he wouldn’t be happy as a lawyer. He got a degree in environmental policy instead, moved to Colorado and… became the nut guy. “In Colorado, I was doing a lot of mountain biking and eating a ton of nut butter and I decided I wanted to come up with some better tasting nut butters. Problem was, my roommates liked them so well they’d steal them. So I started putting my name on the jars, selling them at the farmers market and pretty soon I was turning out on-the-go squeeze packs, as well,” said Gold. The result was a line of nut butters that includes Justin’s Hazelnut Butter, Honey Peanut Butter, Maple Almond Butter and a line of protein bars, available locally at Atkinsons’ Market. Both Fata and Gold will be part of the new Food Mavericks Panel at this year’s Sun Valley Harvest Festival, which runs Thursday through Sunday in Ketchum and Sun Valley. The panel takes place from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday at the nexStage Theatre. Tickets are $10—free to students with ID. The event is also included in the festival’s Epicurean and Fit passes. The Food Mavericks Panel will feature Frederick Schilling of Big Tree Farms, who founded the largest organic chocolate company in the United States. Also, Allison Evanow, chief strategist for Square One Organic Spirits, which includes designer vodkas like Square One Cucumber and Square One Basil. They will talk about how they created successful businesses. And yes, the audience will be able to sample products, along with Michelle Sparkling Wine following the discussion. Some samples will also be available at the free Harvest Marketplace from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. “Hemp Hearts taste great, are easy to use and soooo good for you,” said Kelly Saunderson, who works with Fata at Manitoba Harvest. “They contain easy-to-digest protein and the closest to ideal ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3.” Gold says having his own business has enabled him to combine his passion for food and the environment and sustainable programs. “We support organic farmers. We make sure we use Fair Trade nuts so no child labor is involved. And we’ve worked hard to reduce packaging,” he said. Each of the 20 workers at Justin’s Gold own the Boulder, Colo.-based company. And each November they travel to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota to help with a food drive for elders and single parents. “They’re a Second World nation within driving distance. They have a high unemployment rate. Some families live without electricity or proper heating. And there’s a lot of drug and alcohol abuse. These people need support,” he said. “We decided rather than focus on Boulder—the perfect little community—we’d help them.” Back on the home front, Gold has

–Justin Gold

addressed the public’s growing peanut allergy problem with products using other nuts, such as his Chocolate Almond Butter Cups. And he’s always trying new products. They don’t always work. Pumpkin Pie Peanut Butter was too seasonal. And doggie-style peanut butter—well, most people just buy regular peanut butter for their dogs. But he’s extremely proud of his Chocolate Hazelnut Butter which, he

says, contains 60 percent less sugar than Nutella—that popular hazelnut spread from Europe. “That stuff is disgusting—it has more sugar than cake frosting,” he said. His personal favorite is his Maple Almond Butter. “It’s subtly sweet with a maple finish,” he said. “Such a great tasting spread.” tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I used to watch the cartoon, Curious George, with my son when he was younger. Cute cartoon, but I always thought it was strange that a grown man would have a monkey as a pet. Then the other day I saw an ad where a woman wanted to adopt a pet monkey. She claimed that she couldn't have any more children and wanted a monkey to love at home. I'm thinking this woman is crazy. Monkeys belong in the wild, or a zoo, not at home. If she wanted a pet, why not get a dog or a cat? If she wanted a baby, try adopting. Substituting a monkey to fill the void seems like a bad idea to me. I thought it was illegal to own a monkey in the United States. I know it's possible to get almost any type of pet these days, but is owning a monkey really a good idea?

Cash: It should be no surprise

to you that so many people think of their pet as one of the family. In fact, some people dress them in outfits, buy them health insurance and even send them to day care during work hours. Carry: Before you know it, people will be sending their pets

Fast Facts Monkey Business

While some may remember Michael Jackson for his "Thriller" career or Neverland Ranch, others may recall his pet chimpanzee, named Bubbles. It was reported that Michael rescued the animal from a cancer research facility in 1985. Bubbles was trained to use a toilet by himself and eat his food using cutlery. As he grew older though, the chimpanzee became more aggressive. Today he is living at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida.

to college! Cash: The woman you described could have any number of reasons why she wants a pet monkey. Regardless, the most important thing for anyone to consider is the care required for the pet. This applies whether it's a dog, cat, rabbit or yes, even a monkey. Carry: The legality of owning a monkey is controlled on a state or town level. Presently, some states prohibit them from being owned as pets while others have strict regulations or require permits. The laws are constantly changing so it's important to do the research before considering such an exotic pet.

Cash: Since monkeys are wild

animals by nature, you can imagine owning one is not for the average pet owner. They can carry unusual diseases that need to be considered and can cost much more to care for than a typical dog or cat. Carry: And while they're cute and cuddly when they are small, their temperaments do change as they reach maturity, sort of like an out-of-control teenager. They can become aggressive and even destructive, especially if left alone or bored. Cash: So if this woman is simply looking for companionship, she may be best to consider a cat or dog and leave the monkeys to the Curious George cartoon.

Entertainment Tonight

As humans we seem to have a fascination with celebrities. Between news programs, movies and TV shows, we can't seem to get enough. However, a recent research study suggests the obsession may go deeper than just the influence of the media. Researchers at Duke University found that monkeys were also mesmerized by images of "celebrity" monkeys. When given a choice between receiving their favorite fruit juice or viewing pictures of dominate or "celebrity" monkeys, the pictures consistently won. The study was conducted as part of autism research. •

Reader Humor Monkey Talk

Every so often my brother Larry and I get our families together for a dinner. Since both of us are biology teachers, it's usually not long before we get into some sort of intellectual discussion at the table. At the last dinner we somehow found ourselves on the topic of Darwin's theory. After a long-winded debate on the controversy of creation versus evolution, I posed a question to my 13-year-old daughter. "Do you think it's possible that our relatives long ago could be apes?" I asked her. We all laughed when she looked at my brother and replied, "It makes sense. I mean it would explain Uncle Larry!" (Thanks to Peter Q.)
