t’s modeled after a Gallery Walk. But this weekend’s Bellevue Open Studios gives art fans a chance to meet artists in their studios. They’ll get to see a range of artist habitats from Janet Houts’ kitchen where she makes award-winning quilts to Mark Sheehan’s forge where he uses fire to weld steel into sculpture. “It’s a different way for people to look at art instead of going into a gallery,” said Brooke Bonner, owner of Bellevue’s Green Antelope Gallery. This year’s tour—the second—will feature 13 artists who will open their homes and studios from 3 to 9 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Green Antelope Gallery at 116 S. 2nd St. will kick the tour off on Friday with an opening reception that features a piece from each participating artist. Brandis Sarich will be on site, demonstrating the process she uses in her colorful animal portraits and taking commissions for pet portraits. The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley will receive 10 percent of any sales during the tour. Visitors can pick up a brochure and map to plot out their tour at the gallery. Or they can begin the tour at any point since it’s self-guided. Participants can walk to a few of the sites from the gallery. But they’ll need a bicycle or car to get to studios in the Bellevue Triangle and in Fox Hollow Gulch off Broadford Road. Participating artists are: Mixed media artist Martha Andrea who uses Intaglio printing, painting and collage, 126 Equus Loop Melissa Graves Brown who paints colorful acrylic landscapes, 4041 Woodside Blvd. No. 1 Nolina Burge, who does landscape paintings in oil on canvas, panel and aluminum, 110 Chestnut Lane Clifford Frates, who does painting, sculpture and multi-media, 110 Chestnut Lane Janet Houts, who creates quilts and textile arts, 419 Elm St. Steven R. Houts, who does mixed media and handmade paper pieces, 419 Elm St. Russ Lamb, who does bronze and mixed media sculpture and painting, 190 Labrador Lane Betsy Pearson, who does acrylic, oil, watercolor and pastel landscapes,

Kniffen owns four guitars, a couple of drums and a golden retriever named “Elvis,” along with a multi-track recording system on which he will record a song, or songs, for his senior project.

school has going—a long list that includes concert choir, BTones men’s group, Dixie band, jazz band, concert band, Colla Voce’s band, pep band and the Wood River Drumline, which Kniffen captains. He was front and center last night when the Wood River High Dixie Band, judged the top band at last spring’s Heritage Festival in Anaheim, Calif., performed at the Sun Valley Jazz Community concert. And he and his seven fellow musicians will be back on stage at 6:30 tonight in the Sun Valley Lodge Sun Room—the first time the band has performed as part of the Sun Valley Jazz Festival. “It’s a big honor. Performing before audiences like that gives your passion some worth. That’s why I practice all the time—I want to share my music, my talents, with people,” said Kniffen, who practices in a bedroom plastered with posters of Metallica, Iron Maiden and Jimi Hendrix. Kniffen couldn’t escape music growing up. His father, Kevin—a former guitar player—owns thousands of CDs and his mother Susan plays organ by ear and sang solos with church choirs before giving it up to raise her son. But Nathan eschewed music for baseball and other activities despite besting his fellow students at Hemingway Elementary School on a musical aptitude test in second grade. The riffs on his dad’s Led Zeppelin album changed that. “That was the push he needed,” Susan Kniffen said. “He took guitar lessons in middle school and there was no going back.” Kniffen and his dad attend all the major concerts in the Sun Valley area and travel outside the area to see musicians like Elton John and Leon Russell. The younger Kniffen likes it all—from Pink Floyd and CCR to Miles

Davis, John Coltrane and B.B. King. “Music’s the universal language. You don’t have to speak a musician’s language to know whether the song he’s singing is happy or sad. And I really respect the talent and artistic creativity behind it,” said Kniffen. “I just think it’s astonishing the work ethic and the attention to detail. Jimi Hendrix, for instance, had no musical training but played guitar constantly—he even got a dishonorable discharge for playing too much. But this obscure boy came out of nowhere and rocked the face of popular culture.” As jazz goes, Kniffen finds contemporary jazz more interesting to listen to because it’s more complex than Dixieland jazz, which generally follows a set pattern. But he enjoys playing Dixie more. “We only have eight in the Dixie band so we can show off more.” Kniffen has taught kids how to form their own rock bands at Mitzi Mecham’s School of Rock. He’s done private instruction on the side, studies with the Sun Valley Summer School of Music and plays in the church band each Sunday at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood. But he’s had to turn down the many offers he gets to play with adult bands in the Valley. At 17, Kniffen is not old enough to play in bars. And there’s not much time left after school classes and band practices, which begin at 7 each morning and often run into the early evening hours. Kniffen would love to attend Berklee School of Music where he has taken summer classes. But he’s eyeing Harvard and Yale, which offer the math and science classes he needs for an engineering degree. His dream is to design cars or planes and be a “well-respected musician” at day’s end. The more bands, the better. “I’m analytical—kind of a geek. And they’ve shown there’s a strong correlation between music and math. I’d encourage all students to take music—it helps with all aspects of life.” tws

Idaho Steelhead and Salmon to hold Benefit at Sweetwater BY PAUL HOPFENBECK

T

ap…tap, tap…tap, tap… I intently watched my rod tip. I could feel and see the gentle vibration caused by my drift rig as it was bounced across the river bottom, unseen but imagined. I felt my rod tip pause and bend, and instinctively raised my rod, setting the hook. FISH ON! This is why I fish! After ten exhilarating minutes I released the wild, hard-fighting hen steelhead into her home waters on the Salmon River. And that is why Idaho Steelhead and Salmon Unlimited is still fighting to keep wild fish in our Idaho rivers. In 1984, a handful of passionate fishermen and concerned conservationists realized that our anadromous fish stocks (fish that live their lives in the salt but spawn in the fresh) had declined to less than 3 percent of their historical numbers. Idaho Steelhead and Salmon Unlimited was formed and their goal was twofold—to identify the cause of the rapid decline, and raise public awareness. Some blamed Native Americans and their hundreds of nets. Some blamed the commercial fishermen for stuffing their holds with fish caught just off the coast as the salmon and steelhead pushed into the mouth of the mighty Columbia, starting a one-way voyage to their pristine spawning grounds high in the Idaho wilderness. But, what soon became apparent was that the majority of migrating adults were adequately maneuvering around the commercial and Indian nets, scaling the fish ladders and, for the most part, doing a fine job at surviving most of the obstacles encountered in their epic 800-mile journey.

The epiphany that really rocked the world of salmon science was that the outmigration juveniles weren’t making it back to the ocean! In fact, the bulk of those young fish were dying in the Lower Snake River, between the borders of Oregon and Washington. There, four dams create three slackwater reservoirs that confuse, shortstop, stall and make susceptible to predation each and every young fish that is desperately trying to make it back to the ocean. Ninety-seven percent of the mortality suffered in their journey occurs in these 135 miles of reservoir. Idaho Steelhead and Salmon Unlimited represents its members as part of a team that makes up the Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition (SOS). In April, after years of litigation, U.S. District Court Judge James Redden ruled that the BiOp (Biological Opinion), submitted by NOAA and its federal partners, did not protect wild fish under the Endangered Species Act, and was ruled illegal. The Feds have until 2014 to create better, more effective science. Let’s hope it is not too late to save our iconic, wild fish! Please attend an ISSU “Brats and Beer Benefit” at Sweetwater Commons, from 1 to 5 p.m. this Saturday, Oct. 15, and help us celebrate our wild fish. You get all you can eat and drink, for $25 per person, $40 per couple, $50 for a single membership and dinner, or $65 for a couples dinner and one membership. Fantastic raffle prizes and silent auction AND we are going to pull the winning ticket for the Clackacraft drift boat! For more information contact Pablo at 720-7778, or Jason at 720-1256.

how to join the fun

world-renown swing dance instructor and a brother jazz/comedy team will be among the highlights of the 22nd Annual Sun Valley Jazz Festival this week. The festival gets under way at 9:30 this morning with 42 bands playing 11 venues at Sun Valley Resort through Sunday. The number of dance classes on the floating dance floor has been expanded to 20 and will be headed by Joel Plys, a San Diego dance instructor who has taught all over the world, including Australia, Hungary and Sweden. “He’s well known in dance circles,” said Carol Loehr, who heads up the jazz festival with her husband Jeff. “We’ve had calls asking, ‘Is Joel Plys really going to be there?’ One woman in Montana said she was going to round up a group of friends to come down and see him.” The Whiffenpoofs, Yale’s male a capella group, will be back for the third year, making the rounds in Hailey and Ketchum on Thursday before performing 10 full sets at the jazz fest. The group always plays to standingroom-only crowds. “Normally, the Whiffenpoofs only sing somewhere once. But the first group who came here had so much fun they told the next year’s group, who asked if they could come. And last year’s group told this year’s group, and they asked if they could come,” Loehr said. “They said a highpressure gig like ours coming so soon school starts forces them to gel more quickly than they would normally.” New groups this year are Le Jazz Hot, a San Francisco quartet playing French Gypsy Jazz, and The Reynolds Brothers, who serve up a rhythmical rascal cocktail of songs like “Doctor Heckle and Mister Jibe” and “The Scat Song.” “They’re not only excellent musicians. But they tell extremely funny jokes—clean funny jokes,” said Loehr. Wood River High School’s Dixieland Jazz Band will perform “Big Bear Stomp,” “Chinatown” and other jazz favorites at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in Sun Valley Lodge’s Sun Room. Sun Valley Jazz Festival Founder Tom Hazzard encouraged the group’s formation, and they play at the free community concert the night before the Jazz Festival starts each year. But this will

be the first year the band has performed during the actual festival. The eight-piece band took first place among the 32 bands competing at the Anaheim Heritage Music Festival last spring as Wood River High School’s bands and choirs competing amongs 2,7y00 students brought home the sweepstakes trophies going up against 2,700 high school students. The Dixieland band features KT Martinez, Caleb Garvin, Will Ashfield, Amelia Fugate, Luke Robertson, Zach Dolenar, Steven Poklemba and Nathan Kniffen. “The pros are saying these kids are pretty good. They get real good at improvisation playing this kind of music,” said band director Tony Randall, who himself used to play at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival at the University of Idaho where he went to school. “It’s pretty unique having a Dixieland band. Louis Ford, who plays with the New Orleans Flairs, says he can’t believe how here in the middle of Idaho we have a fantastic Dixie band. He said they don’t have a single kid playing Dixieland jazz in New Orleans. “There are a few jazz bands in California. But, as far as I know it’s the only one in Idaho, maybe the Northwest. Of course, having the jazz festival here is such a fantastic opportunity because the kids get to play with some great jazz musicians from bands

Saturday, Oct. 15 marks the beginning of the MET HD:Live season at the Big Wood 4 Cinema in Hailey. Presented by the Sun Valley Opera and Metropolitan Theatres, the opera Anna Bolena will be preceded with attendees celebrating the new season with complimentary mimosas and muffins in the theatre lobby. The doors open at 10:15 a.m. and the opera begins at 11 a.m. Tickets are $22 general admission and $20 for seniors. Anna Netrobko opens the Met season with her portrayal of the ill-fated queen driven insane by her unfaithful king. She sings one of opera’s greatest mad scenes in the production. The story of Anne Boleyn provides us with a real-life tragedy that outdoes many a fictional plot. In 1830 Anna Bolena was Gaetano Donizetti’s first opera to be a major hit, even though he had already written some 30-odd other operas. It succeeded with its beautifully melodious bel canto tunes, its many lovely duets, and the extraordinary sextet at the end of Act I. For more information go to www. sunvalleyopera.com or call Big Wood 4 Cinema at 208.578.0971.

like Cornet Chop Suey.” In addition, the festival will feature Rob Verdi, who fills up an airplane with his rare saxophones that range from tiny to huge. Also, Tom Rigney and Flambeau’s Cajun-flavored music; Meschiya Lake, who won the 2011 Big Easy Award for Best Female Performer in New Orleans, and “Forever Plaid,” a funloving musical about four nerds who get the chance to come back to earth to perform their dream concert. “Forever Plaid” stars Sun Valley’s own Wally Huffman, John Mauldin, Paul Stoops and Robert Newman. There will be all-star big band bashes on Thursday and Friday nights, with another homage to big bands at the After Glow Dinner on Sunday evening. And 27-year old Bria Skonberg will be honored as Great Ladies of Jazz at the young age of 27. “I saw her for the first time when she was 14 and she and her band came down from Canada to play in a Washington jazz festival. Now she’s making a living as a full-time musician in New York—which is pretty amazing,” said Loehr.

Griffith, a graduate of The Community School, was selected from a pool of 5,265 applicants to the college, and joins a class of 481. Hamilton College is a highly selective residential college.

olby Werley, Wood River High School junior, was born in Jerome, Idaho, and moved to the Wood River Valley when she was just two years old. “My parents had opportunities here, so we thought we’d try the move and haven’t regretted it since.” To this day, Werley lives in the same house in Hailey where she grew up and along the way has attended Bellevue Elementary, Hailey Elementary, Wood River Middle School and now the high school. “I really love it here and it’s been the greatest place to grow up. My parents are very active, so we really enjoy the outdoors, like snowboarding and skiing. Our summers are spent on Alturas Lake and I don’t think there was a day last summer when we weren’t on the water. Mostly we wakeboard and waterski, although I really prefer wakeboarding. I love to launch myself and I know I won’t get hurt. Living here has been a really sheltered life. My first time in the city was really a shock. It was so big and so. Also, it was a shock that there were no mountains. You would look at the trees, but there were no hills behind them.” Werley has been able to travel, going to Los Angeles and Miami Beach, but in eighth grade she had the amazing opportunity to travel to China and see Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. “Seeing the Great Wall of China was really special because I’d heard so much about it and then it was there for real. My favorite place was Hong Kong because it was right on the water and was so beautiful, but it took a while to get used to walking on

–Colby Werley streets surrounded by hundreds of people. It was nice to get back because it’s so calm here, and the food was terrible in Asia. The air was also so dirty and at times you couldn’t see 10 yards ahead of you, whereas here you can see as far as you want. But I still love the city and would like to spend time in one when I’m young, although I see myself returning to live in a small town.” At home, Werley can always be found in the pool, working out for her passion of competitive swimming. “I started in fifth grade and I’ve been doing it ever since. We only have four days a year off – Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day and New Year’s Day. We train five days a week for two hours in the summer and one and a half hours during the school year. We also compete once a month, year-round. In the fall we start for Wood River and so far we are undefeated and we are looking for an undefeated season and winning state. My favorite events are the 100-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard individual medley. I love the medley because I’ve learned how to pace myself in it.” At Wood River, Werley is carrying a 3.5 grade point average and is a member of National

Honor Society. “It’s been a great school for me and I really like a lot of the teachers. They really promote interactive learning and I really like the ones that push you to do your best.” As a sophomore, Werley took Advanced Placement U.S. history “which was a really hard class. You had to read the textbook and remember so many dates and facts and places. For my first A.P. class, it was really hard. This year I am taking A.P. government, economics and language and composition. Economics has been great because I thought I’d hate it, but it’s all common sense and you can really relate it to regular life and it also really relates to government. I’m thinking of joining the Peace Corps because I want to travel far away and really be of service to people. I’d like to experience a different climate and culture.” Wherever her travels take her, you can be sure Colby Werley will be well accepted. tws

Rockin’ the Building Material Thrift Store

T

he Building Material Thrift Store is a best-kept secret among Valley renovators, but it is time you learned about it, too! Whether you are looking for a killer deal on not-perfect cabinets to organize your garage clutter, or a stunning granite top for the new kitchen island, you could find it at the BMTS, and get a discount of 50-75 percent off retail. They get amazing donations, like the Eurocave wine cooler, gorgeous armoires, and a subZero refrigerator in stock a few weeks ago. Plumbing fixtures, paint, lumber, doors, furniture and lighting, tile—you name it, they have it or they will have it. Patience and creative thinking will be rewarded. Query BMTS

at 788-0014 or stop in (south of Hailey on Woodside Boulevard. Turn left at the last Highway 75 stoplight before Bellevue). You never know what you will find, and that’s part of the fun. Besides the price point, shopping at the BMTS has other positives: one, reusing perfectly good stuff; two, not filling up the landfill; three, saving the fuel to haul to the landfill; four, reducing our Valley’s carbon footprint; five, sales benefit the Wood River Land Trust; and six, the satisfaction of a great score! So, to quote the BMTS motto: “Just reuse it!” So simple! Have a question or want to draft your own ERCbeat? Contact the ERC at 208-726-4333 or e-mail reduce@ercsv.org. tws

Ask, Though You Shall Not Receive “To a man with a hammer, everything seems like a nail.” –Mark Twain BY BALI SZABO

A

mathematician quipped that if you think math is tough, try real life. If anything, the Bali Szabo abstractions of philosophical inquiry and the logical labyrinths of math can be respites from life’s turmoil. Yet, many of these abstract reveries result in useful concepts rooted in reality. This ‘unreasonable effectiveness’ drove Einstein crazy. This brings us to Wigner’s Enigma: Are abstract concepts discoveries or inventions? This all begins with Plato, who held that thinkers dealt with objective reality whose properties they observed and then explained using numbers or ideas. The point is that mathematics exists in the universe outside/independent of us. To some, the universe is a giant thought (Sir James Jeans), pieces of which we decipher or intuit. Mystics, artists and scientists often intuit or channel energy and express it in aesthetic or mathematical language, the ‘speaking in tongues’ of religious insight. A prophet always says he is but a conduit for the message. The universe and the mind resonate—one is embedded in the other. What we create is often alien to us, yet, what is radical on Monday is elevator music by Friday. On some days, discovery sounds good, but is, at best, a maybe. Math as invention is our other quandary; we construct it without reference to reality. If we need a non-Euclidian geometry (e.g., where parallel lines cross), we create the math to match it. This is our handiwork. Neurobiologists and cognitive linguists agree that the mind can generate new math objects with a life of their own. The mathematician Atiya concluded that natural numbers—i.e., 1,

2, 3—are strictly creations of the human mind, like the ruler, the clock, or the notion of time. Pi is not a universal constant. No ancient numerical systems (India, China, Egypt) ever referred to it. Parallel universe may not conform to our ideas of biological life (eternal inflation) and the natural world. Math can help explain a narrow range of symmetries and repetitiousness found in nature. The chaos theory shows that we cannot predict outcomes, that our Fibonacci, fractal algorithms run headlong into computational complexity. Our geometries help to make the universe ineligible to us, but that’s not the universe itself. We’re looking at the world through the colored glasses of the human condition. Evolution has created a brain that deals with survival, the physical world of sense perception. Mathematics and, hence, human knowledge, has a human face (as does ESP). The universe cannot be understood or described in all its dimensions. So invention is another maybe. In spite of our mathematical brilliance, reality remains open ended. What is really important is to keep asking questions. The value of inquiry is the inquiry itself. To paraphrase the great 20th Century logician Bertrand Russell, ‘an open mind mirrors the universe better than a closed one.’ tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

The Nature Conservancy announced today that Laura Hubbard, state director for the organization’s Idaho program, will be taking a new position as conservation director for the Conservancy’s Western division. Hubbard will be conservation director for a 13-state region including states in the Rockies, Southwest and West Coast, as well as for the Conservancy’s work in Canada. During her six-year tenure with the Conservancy in Idaho, she oversaw many significant conservation accomplishments, innovative water protection agreements in the Salmon River watershed and forest easements. Under her watch, the Conservancy worked increasingly on collaborative efforts addressing large-scale land conservation, including the Owyhee Initiative in southwest Idaho, the Clearwater Basin Collaborative in central Idaho and the Pioneer Alliance, a coalition of ranchers, conservation groups and recreational interests working to protect the mountains near the Wood River Valley. Hubbard will work with the Idaho program through November 11. A search will be initiated for a new state director. Associate state director Lou Lunte will serve as acting director. “We will miss Laura, but we’re thrilled she’ll now bring her leadership to affect conservation across the Western United States and Canada,” says Lunte. “Our staff and trustees look forward to working with Laura in new ways, as we continue to achieve conservation results that matter for people and nature.”

Chen Brings Asian Flair to Ketchum BY KAREN BOSSICK

W

hat do you cook if Julia Child’s coming to dinner? Helen Chen served up a heaping helping of the Chinese cooking she always cooks. “And she loved it,” said Chen. Chen is no stranger to the kitchen. Her mother Joyce Chen operated award-winning restaurants near Harvard and MIT, helping America move beyond chow mein noodles and La Choy soy sauce. And Joyce Chen starred in her own PBS cooking show back WHEN she and Julia Child were the only cooks on TV. Helen has taken up where her mother left off. She’s written such cookbooks as “Easy Chinese Stir Fries” and “Easy Asian Noodles.” She’s designed a line of Helen’s Asian Kitchen products that includes non-stick woks, bamboo spatulas and what she calls a “fail-proof” rice cooker that she says will never allow rice to burn, boil over, scorch or overcook. And she teaches Asian cooking classes at Boston University and at workshops across the country. Chen will teach a cooking class at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19, for Ketchum Kitchens. “She is world-renowned,” said Ketchum Kitchens owner Don Leonard. “She came in last year to see our store and ended up spending two hours teaching our employees all about woks and other Chinese cooking products. We carry her products and they are excellent.” Chen says she teaches people to prepare family-style dishes that are quick, inexpensive, healthy and don’t require a lot of specialty ingredients.

What: Helen Chen Cooking Class When: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19 Where: Rasberry’s Tickets: $60, available at Ketchum Kitchens in Giacobbi Square. Information: 726-1989.

Her Oct. 19 class, for instance, will feature a steamed ginger wasabi salmon dish, stir-fried vermicelli with shredded chicken and vegetables, garlicky green beans, beef with broccoli in oyster sauce and foolproof jasmine rice. “You can take what you learn and substitute other ingredients, such as bass, haddock and tilapia for the salmon and cauliflower for the green beans,” said Chen, who moved to the United States as a baby when the Communists were taking over China in 1949. “I give people tools, not just recipes. And I explain things like where stir-frying comes from and why we do things the way we do.” Chen cut her teeth on the authentic Chinese cooking as her mother prepared more than 150 dishes inspired by the cuisine of her native Shanghai and Beijing. “I was the kid who was intrigued by the chopped hot dogs in spaghetti that they served at school because my mother never cooked that,” she recalled. “The school served chow mein and I didn’t know what it was.” Food is huge to Chinese, Chen said. All the holidays have their signature dishes. The August Moon Festival, for instance, features moon cakes—small rounded cakes the size of hockey

“She is worldrenowned” –Don Leonard

pucks that are dense like fruitcake. And, like the fruitcake, most people are only too happy to give away the ones they’ve been given. The Dragon Boat Festival features glutinous sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. And the Chinese New Year features many foods, including long noodles signifying long life, clams representing silver ingots, and spring rolls that look like gold bars. “Food is like a language in China thanks to all the symbolism,” Chen said. “The sticky rice dessert we serve at Chinese New Year, for instance, symbolizes families sticking together.” China boasts a fifth of the world’s population—1.3 billion people in a land mass similar to the United States, which boasts just 350 million. And the rural population has encountered its fair share of famine. Consequently, Chinese have created a cuisine where nothing is wasted, Chen said. They eat everything on a chicken save the beak and load their dishes up with vegetables, tofu and filling grains, which take less energy to produce than beef.

Helen Chen says most kitchens in Asia do not have ovens. Consequently, Chinese steam dumplings, breads, cakes and other desserts, rather than bake them. Steaming is a perfect way to refresh stale bread and reheat leftovers that would dry out or overcook on the stove or in the microwave, she adds. And it contains no fats or oils, so is a great way to prepare low-calorie dishes.

“But it’s a very tasty cuisine with a huge amount of variety. And now there’s more interest in its healthy aspects. I teach people to stir fry instead of deep fry and to steam instead of using butter.”

Plenty of Sheep Wagons

Once people get into Chinese cooking, it comes automatically, Chen said. “It’s just a learning curve from using a knife to using the right oil and learning how to buy your food in season.” tws

e’ve got “Trouble with a capital T”—right here in K-City. And that means a lot of rapidfire, fast-talking for Andrew Alburger, who will play Harold Hill— musical theater’s most famous con man. Alburger and a cast of 70 will bring “The Music Man” to the stage of the nexStage Theatre Thursday through Sunday as St. Thomas Playhouse celebrates its tenth anniversary. “ ‘Ya got Trouble’ is the first thing I worked on,” said Alburger. “I sing it in the shower. I sing it while walking my dog. I ‘peat and repeat. It’s like the world’s first rap song.” Meredith Wilson’s 1957 Broadway musical, which won five Tony Awards including Best Musical, revolves around a con man named Harold Hill who makes a living selling band instruments and uniforms to naïve townsfolk before skipping town with the cash. His scheme hits a roadblock, however, in River City, Iowa, when a prim librarian played by Sara Gorby falls in love with him after Hill helps her younger brother Winthrop played by Luke Mauldin and Isaac Brannon overcome his shyness. The musical includes a number of well-known tunes, including “76 Trombones” and “Till There Was You,” which the Beatles recorded. “It’s a story of love and redemption. But it’s also darn fun. To me the sheer entertainment value of this show is worth twice the price!” said Cherie Kessler, The Playhouse’s executive director. “The characters are quirky, irascible, endearing, maddeningly practical, steeped in town gossip, some smart and some not so smart. But all are folks who just want to work hard and made a good life for their families. They have pioneer, All-American spirit—loyalty and stick-to-itness. And in the end everyone responds to the heart of this con man’s scheme as opposed to the scam.” The kids, who are double cast, will be decked out in blue and white ruffled band uniforms worn by Boise State University’s marching band during the 1970s and now owned by Carey High School. Michele Minailo-Jefferson is the costume director. A seven-piece band, which set designer and choreographer Dennis Rexroad housed center stage against the back wall in a gazebo, will provide the music. The setting allows the band directed by Dick Brown to be situated so that no one part of the audience gets blasted.

What: “The Music Man” When: 7 p.m. Oct. 13-16, plus 2 p.m. matinees Oct. 15-16 Where: nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St., Ketchum Tickets: $22 for adults and $10 for youth, except for Friday night, available at Iconoclast Books and by calling 208-726-5349. Gala Night: Friday, Oct. 14, will be a Gala Benefit with “All-American summer picnic fare,” wine, champagne and beer starting at 6 p.m. in a lobby decked out with bunting and other signs of Americana. Tickets that night are $50 for reserved seating, $30 general admission and $10 for youth. The proceeds go to the H. Edward Bilkey Memorial Fund, which provides scholarships for youth involved with St. Thomas Playhouse productions.

The director is R.L. Rowsey, who is normally featured as music director for the Company of Fools professional theater group. “I was thrilled when I was asked to direct. People here know me as R.L. the musician, R.L. the music director, R.L. the teacher. But I did direct professional productions and musical theater before I came here,” said Rowsey, who served as musical director and conductor for many national tours, including “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Singing in the Rain” and “Kiss of the Spiderwoman.” One of the first things Rowsey did was to ask each cast member to think of a secret they might have to create a stage persona. One woman, for instance, believes her husband should be the town’s next mayor and so practices the attitude she thinks a First Lady might have in her interactions with others. Another is a fanatic about clutter, continually picking up litter and tidying her surroundings. Still another never parts with her purse, even when dancing. “This could very well be the story of our town. I want people to say, ‘He just like—‘ or ‘That’s my second-grade teacher.’ When everyone is here—even the little bitty ones—it is a small town. And in the play it’s a sweet loving town that’s forgotten that, that’s gotten a little cranky. That’s why I’m attracted to this play. Harold comes to town and little by little magic happens,” said Rowsey. Rowsey aims to cut the musical from 2 hours and 45 minutes to two hours—something he hopes to do by cutting out a little dance and never letting the lights black out. “I like how every scene connects,” said Gorby. “It keeps things moving. People flow on and off stage—just like life.” tws

It Was Twenty Years Ago Today BY JAMIE CANFIELD

M

y name is Jamie Canfield, and I am the program director and Morning Show host at KSKI, and I am a music lover! Every other week I will be bringing you my thoughts on music, new and old, and, hopefully, helping you find some new musical horizons. Twenty years ago, a band came to the forefront of the popular music scene that changed the face of music as we know it—Nirvana. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the band’s second release, Nevermind. It’s now out in a Deluxe Edition two-CD set, and also available on vinyl in a four-LP set. The four-CD/DVD set, which comes out Oct. 25, comes with a 90-page book and a collection of pre-Nevermind demos and

Political Hanky Panky Jon rated this movie

rarities, with only 10,000 copies available in the United States. Nevermind made Nirvana the biggest band in the world because of the message behind the music. At the time, pop music ruled the charts and Nirvana brought angst back into popular music, something that had basically disappeared after the punk explosion of the late 1970s and the hardcore punk movement of the early 1980s. I won’t say that rock music sucked in the eighties, because it didn’t. It had just lost most of its punch, its impact, its relevance. Nirvana came out with Nevermind in 1991 and sucker-punched the listener into believing in rock music again. Twenty years later, we’re still believing, because of Kurt Cobain and company and the legacy they left behind with this monumental release. tws

oliticians can be corrupt and can bankrupt your dreams. Not really a revelation, but George Clooney still places it at the heart of his new entertaining, political thriller, The Ides of March. Is the timing of the film a comment on Obama? It’s tough to say, but many of his most ardent supporters have been feeling let down lately. One thing, though, is that Obama does not find himself enmeshed in the sexual scandal that Clooney’s presidential candidate in the film finds himself. That can prove to be a tricky one and a scandal that can derail any campaign. Besides playing the liberal dreamboat candidate, Clooney has also directed the film, his fourth attempt behind the camera. Although he does a workmanlike job of keeping the action

flowing, you could hardly label it superb. His best effort is in letting his very talented cast do their job thoroughly. This begins with Ryan Gosling, who plays the wunderkind press secretary that remains crucial to the campaign. Gosling is having a very big year and this new movie keeps the roll going. Self-assured and completely and coolly in control, Gosling gives the film its heart and Clooney has no problem ceding center stage. Also superb is Philip Seymour Hoffman as Gosling’s boss who runs the campaign, and his intense competitor, Paul Giamatti. Both are fighting for a North Carolina senator’s support, played by Jeffrey Wright, that will swing the election to their candidate. Clooney’s big problem may be a dalliance with a young intern played by Evan Rachel Wood. Whether or not this is true will turn the lives around of several of the key characters. The Ides of March will take you on a thrill ride that speaks to both today’s political world and also the nature of this beast that is so central to our lives as citizens. tws

October 12, 2011

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You realize the value of advertising yourself and your work; however, you’re weary of the emotional risks involved. It’s safe for you to make your work visible. You’ll be fine. You have a wealth of creative ideas, and you’ll make a very effective presentation. Practice it over and over in your mind. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be very impressed by what a loved one does this week. You will barely be able to contain yourself -- your enthusiasm runneth over. And it is precisely for this reason that your name will be etched upon this person’s heart forever. You have no idea how rare this kind of acknowledgement really is. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s the sense that you’ve landed in a spot that is so “not you.� Though it may be different from what you wished for or thought you would be doing at this time of life, there’s still something perfect about the way this chapter fits into your life story. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your tendency is to drive yourself too hard. Curb that tendency. If you wait for an excuse to cut loose, it will be too late. Allow yourself some leeway, especially when it comes to just plain fun. “The bow cannot always stand bent, nor can human frailty subsist without some lawful recreation.� -- Miguel de Cervantes LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your timing is stellar, especially regarding professional matters. However, you may not be as confident as usual. It will be hard not to take business personally. Consider enlisting a third party to act on your behalf and present your work to the world. Going through this person will soften the emotional risks. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is very rare to imagine something and then have it come into being in exactly the way you thought it would. Most things in life are a process. Hands-on development will be necessary. The changes are unpredictable. Stay flexible in your approach. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A passionate person in your life will come on like a storm. You may feel the urge to run for shelter. Whether you decide to work with this person face to face or hide from him or her instead depends entirely on how you gauge the rest of the situation. You’ll do the most honorable thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As any doctor who has diagnosed a patient with a psychosomatic illness can attest, the fear of experiencing a symptom can create that very symptom. Focus yourself on the “symptoms� you want to create -- fits of laughter, tears of joy and irrepressible urges to hug loved ones -- and that’s precisely the “illness� you’ll get. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can ask others to cooperate with you; however, the best way is to celebrate and enjoy the level of cooperation you already have. The givers will be inclined to give even more, and soon others will join in, either because it looks like fun, or because it seems like the right thing to do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life improvements depend on your ability to uphold the values of simplicity and congruence. You’ll get organized. You’ll figure out the order of importance for each element. Addressing your top priorities, you’ll clear out the habits and items that are excessive, inconsequential or opposed to your main goals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you are feeling calm and centered, you make reasonable and intelligent decisions. However, the decisions you make from a state of heightened stress or even anxiety are not so bad, either. In fact, those choices may be quite brilliant, as they follow a peculiar but effective logic. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have at times felt bewildered by the social norms. Instead of joining in and trying to blend, you escaped to a reality that existed only in your mind. That place still exists. Find moments to return to your land of imagination, and you’ll find it’s more magically healing than ever. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: Your clear mental picture of what you want your life to be will be a guiding light through this year. In November, your personal life improves as you resolve not to initiate contact and instead to let people find you. The quality of the offers that come to you keeps getting better. Work in December is both challenging and satisfying. tws

unknown amount of time before a property can be sold. Once you feel fairly comfortable with your protection and your savings, it’s time to move on to growth. Investments in the growth area tend to be slightly higher risk, and, associated with that, potential higher returns. Due to the penalties associated with early withdrawal, retirement accounts fall into growth. In addition, you will find real estate and stocks in growth. Remember, higher risk, higher potential reward. Funds that go into growth should not be considered funds that will be needed in an emergency. Typically, a financial plan will be working on all three areas at the same time. As income increases, you need to review your insurance coverage to determine if it is still adequate. Savings need to increase as your income increases to maintain the 9-12 month emergency fund. Contributions to an employer-matched retirement account are often the first dollars put into growth, even when an emergency fund is not yet in place. Using Protection, Savings, and Growth as a guideline will help you to meet your financial goals with security and ease. tws

briefs Little Black Dress Club: Deer Creek Grant The Little Black Dress Club-Wood River (LBDC-WR) was awarded $500 by the Deer Creek Fund of the Helen K. and Arthur E. Johnson Foundation. The funds will help the women’s giving circle continue their goals of introducing women to philanthropy and to inspiring positive changes in our community through charitable giving. The LBDC-WR is supported by membership contributions of $25 a

month and by donations like the one made by the Deer Creek Fund. Founded in October 2009, the LBDC-WR is a donor-advised fund within the Idaho Community Foundation. In its first three grant cycles, the club has distributed $22,931 to local organizations. For more information, or to learn more about joining or applying for a grant, visit www.lbdcwr.org.

Fight Gone Bad Event Raises $4,000 On Sept. 17, 5B CrossFit and the Ketchum professional and volunteer fire departments hosted Fight Gone Bad 6 in Ketchum Town Square. On this day, over $2 million was raised by 1100 CrossFit affiliates worldwide to benefit the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (providing assistance to the families of wounded or deceased soldiers), Infant Swim Resource (teaching water survival skills to kids) and Camp Patriot (which takes disabled vets on outdoor adventures). The 40 participants in the Ketchum’s Fight Gone Bad raised $4000. With rock concert energy, CrossFit athletes of all levels were set in mo-

tion as the square erupted with the words “3, 2, 1, go!” Pounding music, an emcee delivering the play by play and a cheering crowd, many of whom had never seen a CrossFit workout before, inspired the participants to give their all. “FGB6 is a wonderful way for us to give back to the soldiers and their families who have made the ultimate sacrifice in their service to our country. These charities ensure that the families of veterans are not forgotten,” says Alex Margolin, who helped 5B CrossFit co-owner Kyl Samway and Ketchum Fire Department Captain Tom McLean organize the event.

Grant Applications Now Being Accepted The Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation is now accepting grant applications for their 2012 grant cycle. The WRWCF welcomes all 501c3 agencies located in Blaine County. Letters of Inquiry will be accepted until the November 4 deadline. Please go to their website wrwcf.org for an application. WRWCF is beginning its seventh year of awarding grants to non-profit agencies in Blaine County. To date,

more than half a million dollars has been awarded from the pooled grant funds. Membership in the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation now totals 130 women who are committed to philanthropy. Many of the members serve on the grants committees in the vetting process, thus gaining further awareness of the needs in Blaine County.

Vorm and Matranga Join Advocates Board Erik Vorm and Debbie Matranga have been elected to The Advocates for Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault board of directors. “Erik and Debbie both bring their unique passions and experiences to The Advocates’ diverse and engaged board of directors,” said President Joy Kasputys. “It is an honor to formally welcome these two community-minded individuals to The Advocates.” Vorm has lived in the Valley for over 20 years and is the owner of Cornerstone Bar and Grill. In addition to running the restaurant, he and his wife Meg stay busy raising their two children. The Vorms have supported The Advocates generously via special events and donations from Corner-

This Saturday, Oct. 15, from 10 a.m. until noon, the Building Material Thrift Store will present a free workshop on cold frame construction using reclaimed materials. The workshop will be facilitated by Rebecca Bundy, associate planner for the city of Ketchum and an avid year-round gardener, and Tom Harned, green builder and owner of Five Bee Hives. During the two-hour workshop, participants will learn how to construct a simple cold frame from reclaimed materials, as well as information on season extension gardening, cold frame placement, and more. A cold frame is a low-profile structure with a transparent top, used to protect plants from cold temperatures. Essentially an unheated greenhouse, the cold frame will extend your growing season. The workshop will take place at the Building Material Thrift Store, which will have materials on hand and avail-

able for purchase for those who would like to build, along with the facilitators. Interested individuals can also elect to build a cold frame and donate it to The Hunger Coalition’s Hope Garden. The event is a part of the Hailey Community Climate Challenge (everyone is welcome; you do not need to be a Hailey resident). “In designing this workshop, we wanted to work toward meeting this goal through a variety of components,” said Lisa Huttinger of the Environmental Resource Center, the outreach partner for the Hailey Community Climate Challenge. For more information, or to register for the workshop (space will be limited), please call the ERC at 208.726.4333. For more information on the Hailey Community Climate Challenge, please visit www.haileychallenge.org, or learn about the range of services and materials available at the Building Material Thrift Store at www. buildingmaterialthriftstore.org

Pedestrian Bridge over Big Wood River The Wood River Land Trust is combining restoration and recreation/ public benefit improvements into one comprehensive project with construction of a pedestrian bridge over the Big Wood River on the Draper Wood River Preserve in Hailey. The project was approved at a meeting of the County Commissioners in September, and will be completed in fall of 2012. Construction of the bridge will be by Western Wood Structures of Tualatin, Oregon, and engineering by Galena Engineering of Hailey. The bridge crossing on the Draper Preserve will provide a loop to Lions Park, Carbonate Trailhead, Croy Creek Wetlands Boardwalk, and the recreational opportunities up Croy Canyon. This link over the river will be enjoyed by hikers, joggers, bikers, fishermen, bird and wildlife watchers, dog walk-

ers, and snowshoers. The bridge will provide access to this great outdoor classroom for school kids. For example, for five years Larry Barnes, biology teacher at the Wood River High School, has conducted an ornithology class at the Croy Creek Wetlands on both sides of the river. The bridge, in combination with other amenities such as the Croy Creek Wetlands Boardwalk, which was completed this year, a welcome pavilion with interpretive signage, and the ball field will create a destination spot for residents and visitors alike. Access to the turnaround at Lions Park and the Boardwalk will be limited during construction of the bridge to ensure public safety, and the Land Trust apologizes for the inconvenience. Please call the Land Trust at 788-3947 with concerns or questions.

’m guessing if you are reading this article, you are older than six months. Congratulations! This means that you meet the only criteria that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) gives in deciding who should receive the flu vaccine. There are three exceptions to this recommendation that rarely occur: 1. Severe chicken egg allergy. 2. Severe allergy to flu vaccine in the past. 3. History of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. With these very limited exceptions and plenty of vaccine available for the 2011/2012 season, it is my hope that each and every person that meets these qualifications is vaccinated. Over the years, I have heard many different reasons for patients not getting vaccinated. “I never get a 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 have some legitimacy (the flu shot cannot give you the flu!), but there is a larger picture that should 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 risk versus benefit 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 six months to four years old, persons with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, and immuno-suppressed 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, pens, or eating utensils. On top of this, a healthy adult can begin

Luke Snell

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 himself. 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. tws

Penned Flocks PHOTOS & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he sheep finally got penned by a dog competing in the sheep dog trials. And the sheep filing down Main Street Ketchum during Sunday’s Trailing of the Sheep Parade were downright orderly in contrast to the past couple years when they leapt over one another and even took a wrong detour down a side street. “We prayed real hard for them,” said an elated Rev. Ken Brannon, who stood in the middle of the sheep, blessing them to be the best sheep that they could be as they paraded up the street. Thousands of people flocked to the 15th annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival from at least 30 states and four countries—Germany, Britain, Denmark and Ireland—according to an informal survey of 255 people. “It’s heartwarming for the community and the economy,” said Festival Director Mary Austin Crofts. “And it’s so satisfying to have people come up with tears in their eyes to tell how much the event means to them.” Hundreds of spectators trailed from one restaurant to another Friday evening, sampling lamb sliders and 36 gallons of lamb curry that Cristina’s made up. “She believes in loaves and fishes,” said Ketchum resident Peter Maier, alluding to Jesus’ ability to feed the multitudes. Thousands more people flocked to Hailey on Saturday to watch sheep get sheared and Polish Highlanders swing axes in the air as they performed col-

orful folk dances in their white woolen pants. “I’m just amazed at all different things people do with wool fiber,” said Miranda Overacre, a Twin Falls teen-ager who outfitted her tiny Yorkshire-terrier Chester in a coat of many colors from one of the many booths offering up fiber products that included wool marionettes and wool hats made to resemble animals. Many of those attending the Folklife Fair also watched 50 sheep dogs compete out in Quigley Canyon in a nationally sanctioned event. They saw history in the making as a dog penned the sheep for the first time since the Festival began staging the trials several years ago. The dog was rewarded with $400 in cash and dog food. “The sheep were their usual cantankerous selves, running all over the place. But they did it,” said Pam Feld, who co-chaired the event with Judy McLean. Two handlers and their dogs tied for first-place in the overall event, forcing a run-off where the dog was challenged to bring in the sheep without orders from his handler. When the dust had cleared it was Caldwell handler Don Helsley’s dog Ash who ran the victory lap, appearing to try to high-five spectators with his paw as Wilder’s Lavon Calzacorta and his dog Tess took second. Eleven Germans from Ketchum’s sister city of Tegernsee were among the thousands who turned out for Sunday’s parade, which announcer Chris Millspaugh noted was not a reenact-

Woodsmoke BBQ

ment. Many of the Germans were following in the footsteps of their children who had visited here in 2009. They took part in many of the Trailing events, as well as visiting Redfish Lake, Yellowstone, Arches National Park in Utah and witnessing a black angus cattle roundup and ghost towns in Montana. “Usually our families come for the wagons, for Wagon Day,” said Toni Kozemko. “We are here to come for Trailing of Sheep. We heard so often about it and our area also has sheep so it’s similar.” Trailing of the Sheep Board President Dick Spring said the Trailing was able to expand to four days from three this year and include a women in the west writing symposium and a sheep photo workshop largely because of sponsorship from Zions Bank. Festival-goers also saw other improvements, including a muchimproved sound speaker system at the sheep dog Trials, which made a big difference in allowing spectators to understand the dogs’ maneuvers. Co-founder Diane Peavey said she was elated at the festival’s continuing success—particularly that of the women’s writing symposium, which was an expanded version of the Sheep Tales Gathering the festival has had since the beginning. “I’ve wanted to do that do long to leave a legacy of tales and I was blindsided by how amazing it was. Too little time and so many stories—we could do that for weeks, months.” tws

Women Writing Symposium BY KAREN BOSSICK

L

inda Hasselstrom told about the trials of living on the land, as she described a little girl who was lowered into a well every day to gather water for her family during a horrific drought. Katie Breckinridge described her love for the land as she described watching the sun come up every morning over Kings Crown near her Picabo ranch. But it was a Los Angeles city slicker who cracked up the crowd at Friday’s Women Writing and Living the West symposium as she described smuggling a sick baby lamb past Department of Agriculture inspectors at the California border, who asked only if she had fruits and vegetables in her car. Unable to bear to let the Utah-born lamb die, she nursed it back to health with Pepto Bismo, washed it in her kitchen sink until it was “as soft as snow” and walked it along the ocean on the Venice Beach Boardwalk where she told inquirers wondering what kind of dog it was that it was a “sheep dog.” “Now it’s a 330-pound ram who acknowledges me when I visit it by butting its head into mine,” she said, having since given up the sheep to a farm near Los Angeles. A sell-out crowd of more than a hundred people turned out for the Trailing of the Sheep’s inaugural Women Writing and Living the West symposium held at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. “One of the voices that has been missing too long is that of women in the West,” said Trailing of the Sheep Founder Diane Josephy Peavey, herself a sheep rancher and writer. “Stories are the way we make sense of our lives,” author Teresa Jordan told those attending the full-day symposium. “It’s one of the things that distinguishes us from others in the animal kingdom. If we don’t tell the stories, they will be told by others who don’t understand.” And there are plenty of stories to be shared, it would seem. Rae Lewis told of sheep ranchers losing sheep in the wake of atomic testing in Southern Nevada. Ann Wilson told how she used to accompany her father from their ranch in Hammett to summer headquarters in the Pine-Featherville area and they would stop at each sheepherder camp along the way where they would drink sheepherder coffee (hers spiked with lots of sugar) in bowls. “It made no difference that we did not share the same language with the sheepherders. Because we shared the same love for the sheep and the land,” she said. The workshop seemed to strike a chord with those who attended, even though many had never lived on a farm or ranch themselves. “I was especially intrigued by the emphasis on preserving memories,” said Ketchum resident Gay Weake. “I have letters from my grandfather and from my father that he wrote to my mother during World War II. And I need to do something with them.” tws

Symposium Soundbites

“I have a sign in my kitchen that says: Behind every successful rancher is a wife who works in town.” – Carolyn Dufurrena, a Nevada writer “When you tend sheep, you have to be ready to go at the first sliver of grey in the East because that’s when the coyotes are most apt to go to work on your sheep.” --Marion Sept, whose Montana family had to sell cows to the government for $10 a head when grasshoppers, crickets and drought stripped everything in 1934

“Beware when a cowboy wants to give you a ride. He’s looking for a gate opener.” Montana sheepherder Marion Sept, who was sent alone to tend the family livestock when the men went to war during World War II “You’ve got to know how to irrigate because anyone who works for you isn’t going to respect you if you don’t know how.” – Carol MacGregor, who owns a ranch in Long Valley near Cascade

answers on page 17

“Ranching is not just about thistles and water rights. It’s about financial planning—how much you’re going to have to spend for gas, which is going higher and higher each year…”—Carol MacGregor “I don’t have a family…but I have the land. Every day I deal with the greatest woman in the world…that is Mother Nature.” – Katie Breckinridge, who owns the B-Bar-B horse ranch near Picabo “There’s something enormously powerful about seeing people in the land and seeing what families do to stay there.” – Diane Peavey, author of “Bitterbrush Country” “My tears today are tears of joy. I never dreamed I would stand in a room like this and be asked to tell my story. My story is not unique, but it is my story.” – Katie Breckinridge, who grew up on the Busterback Ranch near Stanley

Black on Basques Click! Woolie Photo Workshop PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

B

axter took on the Basques— and a whole lot more Saturday night as the world’s premiere cowboy poet and philosopher entertained a sell-out Trailing of the Sheep crowd at the nexStage Theatre. Jennifer Epps, of Washington State, poses for a photo Baxter Black said with Baxter Black following his appearance at the the whole sheep world Trailing of the Sheep Festival Saturday night. seemed to be filled with “Bascos� when he moved to Idaho to work as a veterinarian for Simplot Livestock Company. “And all I knew was Sherlock Holmes’ ‘Hound of Baskervilles!’ � Baxter added that he quickly learned you don’t try to help Basques—they took that as a personal affront. “The first Basque Christmas party I went to they had contests like filling a water tank with cement and the winner was the one who could pick it up the most times in three minutes,� he recounted. “The highlight was the mule throwing contest. The girl who won that contest—“ Black, who wore a bright red cowboy shirt with a big white yoke and an even bigger belt buckle, kept the cowboy hat-clad crowd in stitches for a full hour before retreating to pose for pictures and autograph his many books. Author Teresa Jordan recounted how Black was once invited to a meet-and-greet breakfast at National Public Radio headquarters in Washington, D.C. When the wiry Black inquired “Where’s the beef? I’m a cowboy,� the embarassed organizer responded, “They told me you were a big animal vegetarian.� Baxter shared a barn full of tales, including “poultry poetry� about a duck under a horse’s tale, his description of the pain salad vegetables go through for the vegetarian rights group and how he introduced an unsuspecting Boston gal raised on Chesapeake Bay oysters to Rocky Mountain oysters. He also paid homage to border collies, which he described as “faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap tall sheep in a single bound,� borrowing from the Superman refrain. “Giving a border collie to a cattleman would be like giving an 18piece socket set to a caveman,� he added, as he described some of the differences between sheep men and cattle men. Note: Cattlemen got the blonde end of the stick this night. “Isn’t he funny!?� said Ketchum resident John Wellsandt, who vies by lottery every winter for tickets to see Black at the Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko. “He always tells a few of the same stories. But he always comes up with new ones, as well.� tws

ohn Faulkner’s 1,500 sheep have gotten used to the probing eyes of a coyote— and maybe even a wolf or two after being out in the mountains all summer. But those two-legged animals staring at them through long black eyes that reflected the early morning sun were a different matter. More than two-dozen paparazzi turned their lenses on the flock Sunday at the Trailing of the Sheep’s first-ever photography workshop. Led by photographers Michael Edminster and Jack Williams, the group trooped up through the sagebrush overlooking the northernmost hole at Bigwood Golf Course, meeting the sheep, which had just trailed past the Fayad residence and down the ridge. “The very fact that this workshop was being offered was one of the things that led me to come to the Trailing of the Sheep this year,� said Heather Haskell, a Bay area resident whose parents live in Ketchum. Heeding Edminster’s admonition to stay clear of the giant white Pyrenees guard dogs, the group made their way cautiously at first. They looked like sheep themselves, all flocking to the same vantage point to take their pictures—past the guard dog whose breath hung in the air over the green. Eventually, they began scattering to different vantage points, taking on the look of an Ansel Adams’ photography class. “This is an absolutely amazing opportunity—an opportunity to see the animals up close,� said Arlynn Hacker of Boise, who was relishing every moment despite

Michelle Stephens said she’d never been to the Trailing of the Sheep Festival until this year, even though she lives in Ketchum. “I went to Hailey for the folk Festival and it was so festive with all the dancers and vendors. Now, I just wish I had a bigger lens to focus on the sheep.� Photo:

having forgotten her camera. Jack Williams marveled at the way the sheep formed a diamond, almost as if posing for the paparazzi. “What a remarkable opportunity—my Lord. You can’t beat this—it’s a premiere Kodak moment,� he told Claudia Fiaschetti, of Ketchum. “I like the diagonal look to the sheep. With something like this, I like shooting with the cross light or even into the light because it brings out the texture in the fur. “But look all around you. Sometimes you may find other objects of interest behind you or off on the side. Then the unexpected becomes the focus.� After a period of time, one of the sheep herders threw a stick into the mass of wool and the sheep began ebbing their way downhill, resembling a white

mass of blobbing lava. The sheep passed within a foot of the photographers, the photographers’ fingers clicking a mile a minute as they tried to catch every nuance. Then in the blink of an eye—or the click of a camera shutter—the sheep spilled out onto the highway below, stalling traffic coming from both directions. “This was amazing,â€? said Joni Morgan. “I’m from Minnesota. So this is absolutely breathtaking. I had tears in my eyes watching this.â€? “I took more than 300 shots,â€? said Haskell. “I got them jumping through the weeds at us, a cool picture of the herder throwing sticks at the sheep, the Pyrenees guard dog communing with the sheep‌Pretty cool.â€? tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, After being home with our newborn for the last eight months, my husband and I decided to go out for a night in the adult world. Since we didn't have any family in the area, we called a babysitting service from the newspaper. The service turned out to be a very industrious 16-yearold. She explained her resume, her certifications, rates and references. She then informed us that her next available Friday night was in 6 weeks. I was stunned. Babysitting wasn't that structured or lucrative when I was in school. What courses did she take? And her eye-popping rates, $20 per hour for 1 child, $25 for 2 and $5 for each additional child. Wow! She seems great and obviously many families must think she's reasonable. I just need a refresher course in babysitting 101? Can you help?

• • • Cash: That 16-year-old sounds like a future CEO to me. Carry: And a future millionaire at those rates! Although a one night break for both of you may be worth the price. Cash: Besides if it's your first time away from the newborn, you'll

probably call home every 15 minutes anyway. Carry: There are a lot of things to consider when selecting a babysitter. Their age is just one of them. We know some people who hire the neighbor's 12-year-old, but that might be a little young. Cash: On the contrary, we also know parents who only hire certified childcare professionals, but then they tend to pay a premium for those services as well. Choosing a babysitter comes down to finding someone who you feel is responsible enough to care for your child. Carry: In today's world, there are accreditations for everything and

babysitting is no different. Aside from professionals who have a degree in childcare, you may find others who have taken babysitting courses. If fact, the Red Cross offers such a course for children ages 11 years and older. Cash: As for her rates, well, prices have gone up since you were a kid. It may sound like a lot of money, but it may be worth the cost if it gives you a sense of security about leaving the house. Carry: Her rates of "$5 for each additional child" sound like a cell phone plan. Just make sure she doesn't charge you for overages if the neighbor's kids come to visit.

If it's your first time away from your child, you've probably left every telephone number that you can possibly be reached at in case of an emergency. However, you'd be surprised how many people forget to leave important emergency numbers for the police, fire department or even neighbors. Be sure to leave the name of a neighbor or nearby friend that can get to your house quickly in case you cannot be reached.

Parent Course

We often hear of the Red Cross helping during large catastrophes, but they also offer other programs everyday. In fact, the Red Cross even instructs a course in babysitting. They cover the basics of handling emergencies and first aid, and also teach such things as choosing age appropriate games and toys, diaper changing and even how to handle bedtime issues. Sounds like a course every parent should take. Contact the Red Cross in your area for more details. •

Reader Humor Chaperoned

When my friend brought her son over for a play date, we sat and watched them play house in my living room. "You be the Daddy and I'll be the Mommy," my daughter said. After a quick "okay" from the boy, he began to give my daughter things to do around the house. But she just ignored him. After a moment or two he sat down and told her to go wash the dishes. Again my daughter just ignored him. Finally the little boy tapped her on the shoulder and said, " I'm the Dad and I'm in charge. Why aren't you listening to me?" "I'm the Mommy," she politely replied. "It's my job to let you think you're in charge." (Thanks to Anne P.)
