Intolerance In 3D

STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

FREE! AT LAST! STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

D Lily Fitzgerald said she used Olympic rings in her Ladder to Equality in part because of her own desire to compete in the Olympics some day.

pair of hands climbed the Ladder to Equality—still so far from the top. A child clung to a tree whose leaves represented support groups, even as her abuser tried to drag her down. And a brain divided into puzzle pieces reminded viewers that autistic people often view life as a puzzle. These were among some of the projects 33 Community School seventh-graders trotted out last week as part of their annual Intolerance Project. The Intolerance Project Gallery Walk art exhibition was held at Silvercreek Realty in Ketchum. Lily Fitzgerald stood next to her Ladder to Equality, explaining to parents cruising through the exhibition how the Olympic rings she hung on the ladder represented how Title XI legislation forbids discrimination in sports. Elena Guylay pointed out the bad roots of her tree—a reminder that 30 percent of abused people grow up to be abusers. And Joe Hall reminded viewers of the chilling use of lobotomy. “Having shocked the patient into a coma, he proceeded to tap a long ice-pick-like spine into the brain case with a mallet,” his poster related. “He went in through the tear ducts of both eyes.” The art demonstrates what the students learned about intolerance ranging from deforestation to animal testing, said math and science teacher Travis Vandenburgh. “They found intolerance is still part of our world, whether we like it or not,” he added. Anyone making a donation or purchase of the artwork would see it go toward the building of a new home for Haitian street children who have wound up on the streets due to physical disabilities, Vandenburgh said. The previous home was demolished in the 2010 earthquake. Following the gallery walk, the students read excerpts from a novel they wrote as a class. The students based the novel on a monument near Almo, Idaho, paying homage to some 300 people reputed to be massacred by Indians. The students researched the story and debated whether the massacre happened as the monument purported. They concluded it was more likely that 30 settlers were killed since no news reports could be found about the massacre, said teacher Joel Vilinsky. Then they broke into teams and wrote the novel. “It was fun to see the way it all came together,” said Vilinsky. tws

ebby and Stefanie O’Neill were in the process of picking out a fifth tree to plant in Hop Porter Park at this month’s Bring Bowe Back rally when they got the news: Bowe Bergdahl—America’s only prisoner of war in Afghanistan—had been freed in Afghanistan where he had been held captive for five years. The O’Neills immediately shelved the tree, which would have marked Bergdahl’s fifth year in captivity, and renamed their Bowe bash the “Bowe Is Back” celebration. “We were expecting 5,000 to 7,000 people, what with Carole King singing. Now we’re expecting 10,000,” said Stefanie O’Neill. “I don’t know if Hop Porter Park can hold them all. But, then, last year we got 2,600 and we barely made a dent in the park.” A few dozen Special Operations Forces aboard several helicopters and surveillance aircraft swooped into eastern Afghanistan Saturday morning where they met 20 armed Taliban at a predetermined site. The transfer of the 28-year-old Army sergeant at 8:30 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time took place in a matter of hours and proceeded as planned, according to an official with the U.S. Department of Defense who asked to remain anonymous. According to a press release provided by the U.S. military, Bergdahl wrote “SF?” on a paper plate, asking the troops if they were Special Operations Forces. “Yes, we’ve been looking for you for a long time,” they Bob Bergdahl, dressed in the black he has worn during public appearances for the past five years, thanked the people of shouted over the roar of the the Wood River Valley and all “the bike dudes and dudettes” around America who have supported the family and his son CONTINUED, PAGE 5 through their ordeal.

Evans Bank. “The theme of the event is ‘Vets Helping Vets,’ ” said Herbert. “I’m a vet myself and I’ve noticed that when soldiers come home needing treatment they usually end up with a bag full of drugs and are told to ‘Get used to your new norm.’ That infuriates me. I think there’s a better way.” That better way, according to Herbert, includes hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to stimulate the release of stem cells and other substances promoting healing.

Adopting Miguel Angel Velasco: A Pet Family Man BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

or the last two years, friends and family have been urging me to take on the responsibility of raising a living creature so that I would have a companion for the golden years. So far, I’ve been able to ignore their pleas and have at least a dozen reasons for refusing. First, there’s that key word — responsibility. I’ve found that over the last few years I can barely look out for myself let alone be responsible for another living being. Then there’s food, shelter and health costs. There’s training, toilet and sleeping requirements to consider. All these things to consider, and what if the other being and I just don’t get along? To let some other being into the rest of your life is an immense undertaking. What about my needs? Let’s say that I did decide to adopt; what kind of pet would be suitable? How about a wild boar or an indifferent zebra or an aloof iguana? Would they fit into my lifestyle? I honestly don’t know. I like dogs, though, and have many dog friends who belong to someone else. I enjoy roughhousing with them, eating with them and playing various ball games and forms of athletics with them, but to do it every day, 365 days a year? I honestly don’t know. If I did have a dog, I would name it “Three Miles” so when people would ask me what I did today,

I could say “Hey, I walked Three Miles.” Then they would think that I was on a health kick and leave me alone about losing weight. There’s that. What about a cat? They’re pretty easy to take care of, right? Get a cat box, some tuna and leave a window open and they’d be fine. Besides, they really don’t care about anyone else except themselves. They look right through you and regard you as fairly stupid. When you’re down and out they appear to be indifferent about your feelings. They just seem to not care one bit. This is a companion? I think not. It’s all on their terms. If they’re unhappy with you, they’ll just leave. “So long, Bozo. I’m outta here.” I don’t need to have my feelings crushed. I get that trying to sell ads for “The Blatant County News,” which debuts on June 11th right here in this paper (a blatant plug). Perhaps I could tether a horse in my basement or round up goats in the front yard or bring a moose into my garage. That doesn’t appeal to me. What does appeal to me is a mail-order bride from the Ukraine, but that would be so wrong on so many levels. So, I’ve decided to ask my youngest daughter, Emily, to move in and take care of me. That would be ideal — peace and quiet in the twilight of a writer’s career. What could go awry, I ask you. I don’t need a pet. I have Emily. Nice talking to you.

Envisioning A Compassionate Community Courtesy Photo BEN BRUNELLE SOPHOMORE WOOD RIVER HIGH SCHOOL

compassionate community is one that starts with the people living there, and the connections seen within the Valley. Our Wood River Valley, at this point in time, has limited “chemistry,” so to speak—the people are just living their lives, rather than striving to create a better space for everyone else to live in. Take a simple pass-by on the sidewalk, for example; a simple “hello,” or even just a smile, can make all the difference. I know that when I walk past a stranger and there is completely no interaction whatsoever, they are

either having a bad day or need somebody to boost their feelings. Simple acts of appreciation. Those are the moments that can greatly improve our Valley. A compassionate Wood River Valley looks almost identical to the one we have now. The only difference is in the minds of the citizens and the people. A compassionate community has eye contact, not the awkward look-off-into-the-distance nervous communication. A compassionate community finds ways to save the environment, commit random acts of kindness, and educate youth in the way that is right. It looks like that place where people want to live.

iguel Angel Velasco, a Wood River High School senior carrying a 3.6 grade point average, is breaking new ground for his family. That’s because he has accomplished a lot of firsts – the first child in his family born in America, the first to make it to elementary school, the first to graduate high school and, most importantly, the first to attend college. “My family is my passion,” Velasco said. “What’s most important to me is that I set a good example for my three siblings so that they can follow in my path.” Part of that example is set by working 30 hours a week at Main St. Market while attending school and playing soccer. “No one in my family my parents’ age attended elementary school. They were farming at the earliest age

“My family is my passion,” “What’s most important to me is that I set a good example for my three siblings so that they can follow in my path.” -Velasco in their hometown of Aguascalientes, Mexico, and each of my parents had 16 siblings. Work was very important to them.” As to carrying the weight of being the first to accomplish so many things, Velasco said, “At first it was cool but it was also a little nerve-wracking. You don’t want

to let them down, so it can be a little stressful and you want your brother and sisters to look up to you. The reason I work 30 hours a week is because I want to pay for all my expenses, like phone, gas and car. I don’t really want to go to them for help. The problem is that I don’t really have any free time. My day is practically spent at school, work and then sleep. It’s not too bad but it can get dull at times. But the bottom line is that it makes me feel good about myself and I want my siblings to help and work hard and I feel like I’m doing a good job of showing them how it’s done.” Although he was born in Arco, Velasco moved to Hailey when he was a year old and has lived there ever since. His parents don’t speak English, although they can understand a little, so Velasco was in the first dual-immersion class at Bellevue Elementary. “I started English in preschool but I wasn’t fluent until first grade. Speaking Spanish at home made it a little difficult because that was all we did, although today I speak English with my siblings but my parents try to make us speak Spanish. Being in dual immersion was really cool and I learned so much, even though it was harder because it doubled the workload. I learned to write well in Spanish and how to analyze texts in Spanish literature—which is something you don’t learn from your parents. Also, because we were the first class we were the test case. Our successes and failures were looked at and whatever worked stayed in the program.” Next year Velasco is off to Seattle for college. “Originally it was going to be BSU, so I would be close, but when it turned out to be Seattle Pacific University, my mom was pretty sad. All she could say was, ‘Oh, okay.’ They are very happy for me, but they think it’s too far. We are a very close-knit family.” tws

Bergdahl’s parents, already in Washington, D.C., for a previously planned trip, appeared Saturday at a White House news conference with President Obama, who praised them for never giving up hope that their son would be freed one day. “He wasn’t forgotten by his community in Idaho, or the military, which rallied to support the Bergdahls through thick and thin,” said Obama, whose administration is trying to wind down the war. “And he wasn’t forgotten by his country because the United States of America does not ever leave its men and women in uniform behind.” Bob Bergdahl addressed his son directly in Pashto, saying he wasn’t sure his son would understand English as well as the language of Afghanistan after years in captivity. And he thanked the U.S. government, military and emir of Qatar, saying the complicated nature of the recovery will never be fully comprehended.

Bowe’s hometown reacts

Meanwhile, Bowe Bergdahl’s hometown of Hailey exploded with the news. Sue Martin donned the yellow blouse she’d been saving for the moment. Then she posted a big yellow sign with Bowe’s picture and the words, “Bowe is free at last!” outside Zaney’s River Street Coffee House, where Bergdahl once worked as a barista. Signs saying, “Our prayers have been answered,” and American flags took their place among yellow ribbons that faded long ago. Breakfast customers at Shorty’s put down their forks and took up their cellphones to tweet the news. Rachael Nelson, who has been among those tying fresh yellow ribbons around trees for five long years, went from street pole to street pole, tying perky bobbing balloons around them, instead. And Mark Swenke drove his green pickup through the streets honking his horn and hooting and hollering the news.

Hailey Police Chief Jeff Gunter, who served as the Bergdahl family’s mouthpiece for much of the time their son was in captivity, said he was buoyed by the tears of joy that were shed around the community and the calls from people wanting to hold block parties following Bergdahl’s release. “Bob and Jani never lost faith they would see their son again. Their faith in God was very inspirational over the years,” Gunter said. “I’m not sure I would have been as strong as they were.” Two backpackers who had spent the weekend in the Sawtooths looked quizzically at a sign outside Chateau Drug, proclaiming “Welcome back Bowe!” “Was Bowe released?” one asked. On Sunday, Bergdahl’s parents addressed the nation from the Idaho National Guard headquarters at Gowen Field in Boise. The tearful 20-minute press conference attracted three dozen journalists, including representatives of The

Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said the administration had negotiated with terrorists, putting forces around the world at greater risk. But National Security Adviser Susan Rice reiterated President Obama’s response that the country has a sacred obligation to bring back our U.S. servicemen and women. Of 82 detainees who have been released, only five have returned to violence. Idaho Sen. Jim Risch told The Idaho Statesman on Sunday that he had been concerned that the Hailey man might be killed or injured in a drone raid during his captivity. Bergdahl was taken prisoner on June 30, 2009, just two months after he deployed to that country as a machine gunner. He was held by a Pakistani group aligned with the Taliban. How he was captured is unclear.

Carole King still plans to sing at the Bring Back Bowe bash, that has been renamed the Bowe Is Back celebration.

The party on June 28 at Hop Porter Park will be Bowe’s official welcome home party, whether or not he is able to attend, said O’Neill. It will include Jani and Bob Bergdahl, keynote speaker District 26 Sen. Michelle Stennett and, likely, Gov. Butch Otter. A few thousand bikers are also expected to ride into Hailey for the gathering.

noxious weeds

www.wrsustainabilitycenter.com wrsustainabilitycenter@gmail.com

I What is the Wood River Sustainability Center? The terms Sustainable and Sustainability are used to describe many different approaches toward improving our way of life. Sustainability does not (and should not) have a rigid definition. Here are some views of what Sustainability can encompass… • Sustainability is an attempt to merge ecology and economy into one system. • Sustainability means living a life of dignity in harmony with nature. • Sustainability means renewing resources at a rate equal to or greater than the rate at which they are consumed. • Sustainability means living within the resources of the planet without damaging the environment now or in the future.

Summertime In The Valley

t’s the time of year to fight noxious weeds! But how does Blaine County do it? The county works within an organization called the Blaine County Cooperative Weed Management Area (BCCWMA). This is a group of interested parties that comes together to share knowledge and resources to fight noxious weeds. The BCCWMA maps each area of the county to observe and record areas of noxious weeds from year to year, and works in terrain as varied as a ski resort to the lava fields of Craters of the Moon National Monument. Why? To conserve this area—not just for us, but for wildlife! Managing noxious weeds means wildlife has something to eat and somewhere to live. And it means farmers have somewhere to plant crops so that we have something to eat. These guys are doing important work! Perhaps the most visible things our CWMA partners do throughout the spring/summer weed season is apply chemicals to noxious weeds along rightsof-way, BLM and Forest Service land, and preserve areas. We understand there are concerns about the use of chemicals and we encourage the public to educate themselves about how/

why particular chemicals are being used. We can tell you what chemicals we’re using and why, what alternative methods may be employed, as well as the weed management plan for the area. Each area being treated is part of a larger management plan for the area, and is carefully thought out before spraying. What isn’t helpful? Yelling, swearing, attempting to physically block sprayers, and generally being abusive to our partners. When you see individuals out spraying, stop and ask questions, wave and say hello— these guys are out there working hard to conserve this beautiful area that we all love to live in.

ile and suspend is a great strategy for a married couple looking to maximize their Social Security benefits. It can be especially helpful for couples in which one spouse may have stayed home to raise a family or is entitled to little or no Social Security on their own work record. Here’s how file and suspend works: Upon reaching full retirement age (FRA), the primary worker files for Social Security benefits. This triggers the spouse’s ability to begin receiving spousal benefits, which, at the spouse’s FRA, are equal to 50 percent of the primary worker’s FRA amount (a spouse can take reduced spousal benefits as early as age 62). The primary worker, however, does not begin receiving benefits, instead choosing to suspend receipt of those benefits until a later date (usually age 70) in order to earn delayed retirement credits (DRCs). Why are DRCs important? Simply put, they increase the amount of their FRA benefit by 8 percent each year, up until age 70. This is simple interest, not compound. So, assuming an FRA of 66, a person who qualifies for a benefit of $2,000 a month would get 32 percent more at age 70 – a monthly benefit of $2,640. That’s $640 more per month, every month for life. In addition to DRCs, they would also get the annual cost-of-living adjustment, provided there is one. Under the same assumption, the non-working spouse, who is age 62 or older, can start taking their spousal benefits – the amount of which will vary depending on the age at which they begin taking benefits. This will allow for some retirement income for the household. Note: there is no benefit for the spouse to wait beyond their FRA to claim spousal benefits. Another reason to file and suspend is that Social Security offers a placeholder in case recipients change their mind later. Typically, Social Securi-

ty will only pay six months of retroactive benefits to recipients once they have reached their full FRA. But with file and suspend, recipients can request retroactive benefits back to the date they filed and suspended.

For example, let’s say an individual files and suspends at the FRA of 66. Then, at age 69, they receive an adverse diagnosis, encounter an unexpected large expense, or simply change their mind; they can then contact Social Security and request a lump-sum payment of all benefits they have forgone since they filed and suspended. Social Security will pay those benefits in a lump sum and begin monthly payments amounting to what they would be entitled to had they been collecting since their original filing date. In this case, they would lose any accumulated DRCs. File and suspend is just one approach to maximizing retirement income, but it is best to consult your local Social Security office and your tax advisor to discuss your specific situation.

Bergdahl's Friends

The Best Things 'Euphoric' At His Release In Life Are Free BY BALI SZABO

BY BRENNAN REGO

Those who know Bowe Bergdahl best see him as more than a news story, a political debate, or an angle assigned by editors in chief for their correspondents to hound out on the ground in the Wood River Valley. To his longtime friends, he’s a tangible memory, an unconditionally loved one, and a vibrant human being with an intricate soul. Bergdahl’s neighbors, workmates, roommates and peers have rejoiced euphorically since they learned on Saturday that Bergdahl had been released into American custody after being held captive by the Afghan Taliban for nearly five years. Kayla Harrison, 25, who has known Bergdahl since she was 14, said in an interview on Sunday that she considers him a brother and she “freaked out all day” after hearing of his release. Bergdahl lived with the Harrison’s family for three years, she said. He used to dance with her at The Sun Valley Ballet School and fence with her brother, Shane Harrison, at the Sun Valley Swords Fencing Club. Bergdahl also worked with both of them at Strega, a tea bar in Ketchum owned by their mom, Kim Harrison, that was open from 2005-2007. “My mom’s listed as his godmother on his military record,” said Kayla Harrison, who now lives in Santa Rosa, Calif., adding that her current focus is to do anything and everything she can for Bergdahl. “I was in a state of shock all day on Saturday, and now I’m in a state of action to do whatever it is that will help Bowe recover,” she said. “Whatever it is that he needs. That’s the only thing that’s going through my head right now.” Tyner Pesch, 27, who also fenced with Bergdahl during their teenage years and worked with him at Strega, said in an interview on Sunday that Bergdahl always cared about everyone who was around him

and who was close to him. “He is a really good soul,” said Pesch, who now lives in California’s San Francisco Bay Area. “Really good intentions.” Pesch added he’s in a state of shock knowing that Bergdahl has been released after not knowing where he’s been for the past five years. “I don’t know what to say,” he said. “Now, it’s about finding the best way to help him assimilate back.” Nini Casser, 25, who was neighbors with Bergdahl during their childhood and also fenced with him, said in an interview on Monday that she’s “elated” to hear about his release. “It was just heartbreaking to see his parents, they’d come over for Christmas and they’d be talking about Bowe,” she said. “Every year they had this hope that he’d be back, and finally it’s true. It’s very good news. We’ll make sure we’re there to welcome him home with open arms so he knows how much we’ve been there for him and thinking about him these past five years.” Lee Ann Ferris—another neighbor of Bergdahl’s, whose daughter, Natalia Ferris, is about his age—said in an interview on Sunday that she’s “delighted”. “I always kept the hope that he’d be back,” she said. “I think he’s probably been thinking about coming home for a long time.” Sue Martin, owner of Zaney’s River Street Coffee in Hailey, where Bergdahl worked for about two years before joining the Army and after working at Strega, said in an interview on Sunday that she felt a “tremendous, euphoric” sense of relief upon hearing the big news. Martin has welcomed reporters from across the globe at Zaney’s, which has become an unofficial base of operations them since the news hit the wire. “Knowing Bowe, he’s so intelligent, I have absolute faith in his ability to transition past the trauma,” she said. tws

’ve always loved the Impressionists and their non-intellectual, feel-good art. Pissarro and Monet loved gardens. Their dappled shade, an eye-dazzling profusion of summer colors, was a perfect stage for their side-byside strokes and dabs of primary colors, which, from a distance, coalesced into a larger vision. The Habitat in late May had the feeling, if not all the saturated pigments, of an Argenteuile garden. In the afternoon, the entire garden is backlit by the western sun, which creates a stainedglass effect. The breeze stirs everything and sends perfumed aromas past the nostrils. The birds are out in force, talking, playing, foraging, feeding, drinking, bathing, adding to the merriments of light. The world is at play (for now) and my burdens are laid down until tomorrow. The colors are minimal – green, blue skies and a profusion of hundreds of white globeflowers. There are a few spots of scattered color, like tulips, miniature bearded iris, budding columbines and creeping forget-me-nots. That’s all about to change. One of the charms of gardens, and perhaps of life itself, is that they provide us with moments of grace, a respite from the suffering and tragedies of the larger world. One afternoon, a woman

with a broad-brimmed hat was working in an adjacent vegetable garden. Her petite dog was sitting contentedly in the shade of the flowering plums, flanked by a bank of those white flowers. The light filtered through the tall plums, songbirds hopped among the branches while the grackles worked the ground. The feeling of that scene, the serenity of labor and repose bathed in an ennobling light, was a perfect Fairfield Porter, or even a Winslow Homer. I didn’t take the picture because I couldn’t control

flowers began to move in eerie unison, the blossoms closing into the round globes they are named after. One woman couldn’t believe her eyes and said, ‘It must be the breeze!’ There wasn’t any. She witnessed a phototropic moment, a slice of life rarely seen because most plants close at night, like tulips, crocuses and desert primroses. Many spring bulbs remain closed on overcast days. The Habitat is a reminder of a wild life. As it matures, it takes on a life of its own, and it’s there to cherish even as our own life is slipping away from us. A happy and vocal community of birds are attracting species who don’t usually nest here. A pair of American finches, Western tanagers and evening grosbeaks are trying to make a go of it. They have company, food, water, cover and the other natural amenities the Habitat offers. At only $250,000 a pop, we’re priced to sell. tws

Zaney's owner Sue Martin poses in her coffee house on Sunday, holding a book for Bergdahl in which people have written him comments. She said she'll have to slip in a bookmark to distinguish between pre- and post-release sentiments. In the background is a map on which Martin has marked the location of Bowe’s capture.

he brown drake was the hatch heard ’round the world this past week. The action continues to be sporadic and hardly predictable. The hatch began last Monday, and the only true major event happened last Friday. The cold temperatures in the evening have spun the hatch into smaller events, essentially putting anglers in a position to find just the right spot, at just the right moment. On any given night the hatch has shown up big for a quarter mile, but with little activity above or below this hot spot. Expect at least a few more days of this action, as the activity has finally moved to its highest point on the river. We are still due for a few more drakes, so keep an eye on the weather this week. If you see calm and hot temps in the evening, then it’s probably worth checking out Silver Creek. While you’re at it, if you see really hot temps during the daytime, expect to see the green drake on the Preserve water. The baetis activity on the Creek is also taking off strong. PMDs are showing on occasion and when they do, the fish are going nuts for them! Ants, beetles and damselflies are all excellent choices when there is little to no hatch activity. The Big Wood and the Upper Lost are both still flowing with plenty of volume, although they are starting to drop slowly. When they finally do get fishable, expect to see green drakes, stoneflies, and yellow sallies. Expect tricky wading as well. High flows are not something to play with, especially while wearing waders. Like we always say when fishing high water; fish with a friend, wear a wading belt and leave Fido at home for a few weeks. We are on the cusp of some breakout fishing throughout the Valley as the rivers are dropping. It’s time to check the studs on your wading boots, find your wading staff, beef up on 3X and 4X leaders and tippets and be ready for the big, bushy, dry-fly season on all our freestone streams! Flies that you need to have in your fly box in the next few weeks include: size 10 prince nymph, size 10 epoxy back green drake nymph, size 6 and size 10 Turks tarantula in orange and yellow, size 14 parachute adams, size 14 yellow stimulator, size 12 Colorado green drake. Happy fishing, everyone!

SUDOKU ANSWER ON PAGE16

Sun Editorial Response: I would like to thank you for publishing the interesting article on the fish rescue/transfer on the Damasco pond. While the article brings out the human interest and personal side of the dedicated Trout Unlimited volunteers at the rescue, I would like to clarify several issues. The Damasco family took great care and effort to ensure the fish rescue was done properly. They obtained fish transfer permits from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG), which was specific to the transfer of trout. The family then contacted the Hemingway Chapter, Trout Unlimited, to seek assistance in the transfer so no harm would come to the trout. Hemingway Trout Unlimited has been working with IDFG for over six years to ensure that every measure is taken to provide for a safe and successful transfer of trout from one body of water to another. We use a 300-gallon tank filled with clean, untreated water of the correct temperature. The water is oxygenated using oxygen, a flow meter and a certified aerator. After each use, the tank, nets, buckets and any other associated equipment is sterilized to IDFG specifications. Great care is taken to minimize handling of the fish and the transfer time from river to tank. The fish transfer permit issued to the Damasco family was for trout only and the fish were to be placed in a pond that did not connect with the Big Wood River. The plan was that the Hemingway Chapter would be responsible for removal and transfer of the trout. Because there were carp in the pond, it was agreed the carp would be netted, placed in containers of clean water provided by Mr. Kuehn (who is not associated with Trout Unlimited); he would then be responsible for all aspects of transferring the carp. The handling of the carp in the transfer, as mentioned in the article, is no way representative of the professional and careful handling of the trout by the Hemingway Chapter of Trout Unlimited. Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Respectfully Ed Northen, President Trout Unlimited, Hemingway Chapter

Establishing An Environment For Business STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

We’ve got great summer weather—what are you doing to exploit that to get people here to take advantage of it? Most people skiing Baldy are Idahoans, yet we’re not marketing to them. There’s no initiative for young people to come here to start a business. The Alaskan Fur Company across the street has gone out of business. A restaurant a halfblock down has closed its doors. What is the city doing about that? Those are some of the questions and comments bandied about Thursday when the City of Ketchum held an informal gathering at Starbucks to find out what was on business people’s minds. The meeting, which attracted about 75 business people and residents, was organized to understand the goals and challenges of local businesses and find ways to establish an environment that supports good business, said Ketchum Mayor Nina Jonas “Businesses in the community are the heart and character of this community,” added Jonas, who owns Rickshaw restaurant. The City of Ketchum used clicker polling devices to determine that 40 percent of those present believed that there needs to be a new organization to help improve the business climate in the city. Spencer Brendel of PlayHard GiveBack suggested the city cut the red tape. “Design/review regulations are ridiculous,” he said. Julie Johnson of NourishMe noted how years ago there were hot springs up and down the valley for public use. “That would bring young people back,” she said.

Kill All Monsters! BY JONATHAN KANE

Perfect Father’s Day Gift One Day Only Thursday, June 5th Showroom will be open late until 7pm Come After Work!

Sue Hansen voices her opinion during the meeting.

Godzilla Rating:

All Grills 35-60% Off! $$$ Save Hundreds $$$

Gary Hoffman, who recently started up Ketchum Business After Hours, suggested the city band together with other cities to try once again to get the Idaho Legislature to tax online stores so they don’t have an unfair advantage over brick-and-mortar stores. Paul Holle of Sawtooth Brewery suggested more education opportunities for youth—something he said would create a workforce for businesses like Smith Optics. And Brent Hansen of SkiTek suggested using marketing to make Sun Valley hip and cool again. “We’re fuddy duddy,” he said. Jonas said it was apparent from the meeting that business owners wanted to get together more often to get things off their chests and figure out ways to improve the community and business climate. “There will be more opportunity to get stuff off your chests, I promise you,” she said. “We’re going to move forward together.”

odzilla is back! The big question remains, though — why? With an onslaught of trailers that made the film marginally worth seeing, the movie packed them in opening weekend, only to fall off a cliff in its second. But maybe that was all that Warner Brothers hoped for when they invested $160 million on this bloated mess (by the way, Godzilla is a little bloated himself). The Toho Studios original, made 60 years ago, is a masterpiece of the genre. That it spawned 27 installments that got more and more ridiculous doesn’t matter. The original had some depth and real terror. The monster was the embodiment of our nuclear fears and deftly reflected a worldview that science was to be the downfall of civilization. What does the new

JUNE 4, 2014

film reflect? Pretty much nothing other than what the inane dialogue tells us — that Godzilla is here to ‘restore balance.’ The film, directed by Brit Gareth Edwards off a script by Max Borenstein, has the usual family that you care about (barely), with Bryan Cranston playing the crazed dad who lost his wife in a Japanese nuclear plant disaster 15 years before. He’s convinced it was no accident and he’s right when we are introduced to a Muto, a Mothra-like ripoff that resembles a flying cockroach. The Muto is a male in search of his better half – spawning in Nevada. The rest of the movie is a chase to stop them from mating. Godzilla doesn’t show up until late in the movie to, as I’ve said, restore balance. Laughably, the final fight scenes in San Francisco don’t look like they cost $160 million but rather look like actors in bad outfits that you saw in the 27th Toho remake. You get what you pay for. tws

Hailey Public Library Decides On New Logo Through Logo Contest

The Hailey Public Library’s search for a new logo ended when the winner of its logo contest was announced this month. Erika Blank, owner of the eco-conscious paperie and graphic design studio “Style Me Green,” created the winning design and earned a $250 prize made possible by the Friends of the Hailey Public Library. The new logo is to be used online, in print, on publications, and in displays. It shows an open book and, in the negative space, a person with arms outstretched in gratitude. About her design, Blank said, “I really wanted to draw inspiration from the books thxemselves, and subtly bring in the passion I felt for the people in our amazing community.” To learn more about the Hailey Public Library and its services, call 208-788-2036, or visit HaileyPublicLibrary.org.

ravis Zerba and his brother Luke Andrews opened Fireplaces Etc. 15 years ago. Fireplaces Etc is a small, locally owned and operated business that caters to the Wood River Valley, Stanley, Fairfield, Carey and Shoshone. They got their start in the heating and cooling business with their family. Travis handles the sales side and Lucas does more of the service end of Fireplaces Etc. Talking with Travis, you are soon put at ease and realize that he has the laidback quality of a true local, born and raised in the Wood River Valley. He enjoys working with clients that are looking for energy-efficient and cost-effective means to heat their varied spaces. They have worked on a variety of projects, from high-end fireplaces to more economical ones. They handle stoves, fireplaces and barbecues. The majority of their business is the

Rock n Roll Hall of Clay - Mitsurua Brandon June 16-20 ~ 9:30-12:00 • Tuition $135

installation of fireplaces. Their market is split 50/50 between new construction and remodels. Luke and Travis are successful because they stick to what they know, helping you to heat your space. They do not do design but, rather, they have a showroom with samples of different types and sizes of stoves, fireplace inserts and barbecues to help people understand different design motifs. They offer opinions and ideas based on their years of experience. Typically, an install will take 4-6 hours for them to put the unit in and vent it. Travis takes pride in working with some of the smaller, economical projects that leave the customer satisfied for years to come. He loves running into his clients throughout the years and hearing about the continual satisfaction that they have and the savings that they have enjoyed. He

understands what it takes to do that economically and many times more cost effective than buying a new furnace by using pellet stoves and fireplaces. The fireplaces and stoves that they install have a life span of 20-plus years, which is better than most appliances! Stop by on Thursday, June 5 to take advantage of the largest sale Fireplaces Etc has ever had, with 3560 percent off on all grills. This is a great time to check and see how Travis and his brother can help you with your fireplace needs.

Dick Brown has introduced Sun Valley residents to dozens of highbrow classics like Gabriel Faure’s “Requiem” during his tenure at the head of the Caritas Chorale. But he’s picked a song from “Paint Your Wagon” for his swan song this weekend. “The theme of our Spring Concerts is ‘Moving On.’ And there’s that great song from ‘Paint Your Wagon’ that goes, ‘I was born under a wandering star...’ ” he said. “I was kind of born under a wandering star because my parents would put all of us in the car before the days of the interstate and head west. My dad was always wanting to see what was on the other side of the hill. That’s part of what brought me west to Sun Valley.” Brown and the 70-member Caritas Chorale will present two “Spring Into Song” concerts at 5:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Gail Severn Gallery, 400 1st Ave. N. in Ketchum. Tickets are $40, available at the gallery, and include a lavish wine reception with hors d’oeuvres. Brown has picked musical selections, such as “Dixie” and “Porgy and Bess” to reflect his Southern roots. “God Bless America,” “America the Beautiful” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic” represent his Ameri-

to your health

can heritage. “The concert is a grab bag of things that just personally mean a lot to me, but it’s mostly about moving on,” he said. Brown and his wife Billie founded a summer choir gathering called “Choral Rendezvous” in Challis in 1994. There they met singers from Sun Valley who persuaded them to settle in the Wood River Valley and form what became the Caritas Chorale in 1999. While here, Brown taught music at the Community School, he directed St. Thomas Playhouse shows and directed music at St. Thomas Episcopal Church. He also formed and directed Anam Cara, the Chamber Choir of Idaho, in Idaho Falls. His wife Billie directed the Big Wood Preschool for several years; she currently is working with children at the Wood River Community YMCA. Brown said he and Billie have loved living here. “We’ve been here 15 years— the longest we’ve ever been in one place,” said Brown, whose résumé includes stints as a cello

player in symphony orchestras and a conductor, teacher and choral director in Mississippi. But it’s time to turn in the baton for a fly rod, Brown added. “One of the reasons for me to move here was to slow down because I’d had a couple of heart attacks. It quickly got out of hand. I haven’t had time to flyfish for several years,” he said. Brown thinks he and Billie will eventually wind up in Helena, Mont., where they can fly-fish and rock hound to their hearts’ content. “But, for the first time in my life, we really don’t know where we’re going—there is no job, there is no reason,” he added. Wherever he winds up, Brown will look back with fondness on the commissioned pieces the Caritas Chorale did with Boise composer David Alan Earnest and local librettist Diane Peavey. One celebrated Lewis and Clark’s journey through Idaho; the other paid homage to the Nez Perce Indians of Northern Idaho. “Those are the highlights of my musical career,” he said. tws

ave you noticed your night vision, especially when driving, seems to be less than optimal? How about your upward field gaze when watching a movie or reading a book. Does it seem more difficult to see the upper part of the screen or the book? Do you seem to be raising your eyebrows nearly all of the time, creating heavy lines across your forehead? Are your eyebrows hanging down or does your eyelid skin sort of form a curtain or a hood over the central and lateral part of your eyes? If the answer to any or all of these questions is yes, it is possible that you are a candidate for an eyelid lift, a brow lift or perhaps both. Although sometimes limited lifting can be done with fillers (for example, Voluma or Juviderm), or even with Botox, frequently a more complete improvement needs to be done with removal of excess eyelid skin, lifting of the brow or, frequently both. ARE YOU A GOOD CANDIDATE? You may want to consider either or both procedures if: Excess upper lid skin obscures the natural fold of the upper eyelid. Loose upper-lid skin obviously obscures your vision. Your upper lids are puffy, giv-

ing you a sad or tired look.

Assuming you are in good health, have realistic expectations and a positive attitude, surgical correction may be of great benefit to you. After a complete eye examination, including your peripheral field evaluation along with routine visual examinations including visual acuity and sometimes tearing ability, the next step is to verify that the overall status of your health is good. This examination would be done by your general family doctor or internist to ensure that you have no underlying malady such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, etc. Once this is done, then surgical plans can be completed. When an upper eyelid lift is done alone, it can frequently be

done in the office under local anesthesia. If a brow lift is required, most often, however, that must be done in an ambulatory, outpatient surgical suite or hospital as an outpatient. Both procedures can most often be done through the same upper eyelid crease incision which becomes almost invisible with time. Although complications can occur during even the most minimum of surgical procedures, most such procedures as described go well with expectation of non-complicated recovery. Recovery is usually quick and is accompanied by moderate swelling and bruising which subsides over 7-10 days. The patient’s visual symptoms are usually improved along with their appearance. For further information schedule a consultation whereby complete evaluation and recommendations can be made. Welcome home, Bowe. Prayers are with you and your wonderful mom and dad.

Pain Insane BY FRAN JEWELL

ain. What does that have to do with dog training? Plenty. First, dogs are by nature very stoic. They will not tell you when they are in pain, so many of us miss this critical element in dog behavior. Why? Because when a dog shows pain, it makes it weaker to other dogs and it risks potential attack by another dog seeking higher status. In my line of work, I am called for help when a dog is suddenly aggressive with other dogs and even family members when it did not used to be. I also get calls when dogs have fights among themselves in a multiple-dog household. Sometimes I hear from people when they see that their dog just seems different than it used to be. The dog might now be afraid of other dogs or children when that wasn’t the case before. Or they hide in a closet for no apparent reason. One of the first things I recommend in most cases is that the dog be thoroughly examined by a veterinarian to see if there are any health issues that are

not outwardly visible. There can be abnormalities in blood work. Often I see dogs suffering from undiagnosed arthritis, or even joint problems that have slowly developed over time. If the physical issue of pain is not addressed, trying to address the emotional and mental behavior problems created by the pain will not be successful. Once the pain is addressed, then the behavior can be addressed with professional help. Pain in dogs is very difficult for us to see. But it is a critical issue to pay attention to, even in young dogs when behaviors become defensive, aggressive, or unusual. Imagine yourself with a migraine. No one can see it. Many people don’t understand it, but after a migraine has lingered for many hours, sometimes days, you are no longer patient and you become irritated easily. Now imagine your dog unable to express his pain by saying, “Hey! I hurt!” What are some telltale signs of pain? Unusual behaviors— withdrawing or aggression; slowness to get up; less energy;

Wedensday, June 11th

panting when it isn’t hot out; a “look” in your dog’s eyes that says something is off; movement away when touched in a certain place; lack of interest in food; an area of skin that seems warmer than a nearby body spot; swelling; ears that don’t perk up; lack of desire to do usual activities like go in the car or for walks. And, of course, there are obvious things like limping or crying. Pain is something that can be controlled, for the most part, in dogs, and can help re-establish loving behaviors between you and your lovely companion. If you even slightly expect something off with your dog, please seek veterinary help. What seems slight to you is many times huge for the dog because they will mask their pain until it is no longer tolerable. There are many ways to address pain. Know that pain should be addressed and not left for the dog to “tough it out”—it is critical for a dog in a family atmosphere with children and other animals present. Asking a dog to be patient in spite of pain is simply not fair. Copyright Fran Jewell 2014k, reprint only with permission

Look! Up In The Sky! It’s A Flaming Giraffe! STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

A new menagerie has taken root in Ketchum. A 14-by-15-foot giraffe has sprung up in Ketchum Town Square across from Atkinsons’ Market, while a red bull and golden eagle have spread their wings and planted their hooves nearby. The animal collection is part of the public street art the Ketchum Arts Commission chose for the 4th Street Corridor this summer. “I’m so thankful they selected my art,” said Jacob Novinger, the metal sculptor from Gooding who created the hand-forged giraffe out of copper. Novinger’s “Flaming Giraffe,” his response to Salvador Dali’s Flaming or Burning Giraffe, won the 2013 Art and Soul art competition held in May in Twin Falls. The honor came with a check for $10,000. His 7.5-foot Copper Scroll and “Toro!” will also be on display on 4th Street until Oct. 22.

Gooding sculptor Jacob Novinger creates one-of-a-kind metal sculptures that will stand the test of time.

Novinger’s other works include The Scream; Salmonrun, which is headed for Seattle; Metal Fish on a Bike, a smaller version of the Trojan Horse; and a realistic-looking Blue Heron. “There’s no better place to have

your art than Ketchum,” said Novinger. “You’ve got good art in big cities like L.A. or Chicago, but Ketchum is like an island of art with everything else few and far between.” The art will be on display until Oct. 22. tws

The students who will be recognized include Alfonso Beaza, Kaitlyn Hayes, Chase Hutchinson, Karen Ramirez and Jessica Thomas. The City of Hailey fire and police departments, together with the Blaine County School District, launched a new program called Do The Right Thing. The program is designed to reinforce positive behavior among youth in the community. Founded in Miami, Florida, the program spread nationwide and now recognizes thousands of youth each month for positive behavior. The newest chapter of Do The Right Thing in Hailey is the first in Idaho. Students who were nominated will receive letters of recognition. They include: Harrison Blamires, Devon Brown, Carter Busdon, Heidi Carrillo, Kayla Chaffey, Marcela del Real, Evathea Drougas, Will Griffith, Kaitlyn Hayes, Erin Hennessy, Jasmine Jordan, Inez Kraynick, Sam Laski and Willa Laski. The next round of nominations is currently open at www.haileycityhall.org and will close on September 1.

Similarly, Herbert said, he’s been on jungle treks over nasty terrain where people can suffer life-threatening cuts and other injuries. The kit, which motorbikers and guides can wear around their waist, includes a brochure written in English and Vietnamese with pictures showing how to use the first-aid tools. “Though I was in Navy Air Aviation, I never fought in Vietnam,” said Herbert. “But I’ve spent a lot of time in that country. I love the people, the food. And, if you do something for them, you’re a friend for life.”
