Sizzling Hot Fire department to auction off John Blackman original STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

determined look in its eyes, the eagle looks like a legendary Phoenix about to rise from the flames that surround it and are a part of it. The shiny red-and-yellow inferno is another creation of Hailey artist John Blackman. Only this particular canvas is a fire helmet. The fire helmet will be auctioned off next week to the highest bidder at two local fundraisers and on eBay to raise money for the Hailey Fire Department. “The Hailey Fire Department will be the featured nonprofit at the Back Alley Party at The Wicked Spud next Wednesday and they told us to come up with 15 to 20 prizes for a raffle. The firefighters said, ‘Wouldn’t it be neat if we could get John Blackman to paint a firefighter’s helmet similar to the helmets he’s painted for Olympic racers,” explained Hailey Fire Chief Craig Aberbach. Blackman, whose helmet-painting odyssey started with Picabo Street and most recently involved Olympic skeleton racer Katie Uhlaender, didn’t hesitate to donate his time and talent. “I said, ‘Absolutely. Sure,’” said the acting superintendent for the Blaine County School District, who just finished a ferocious tiger on a motorcycle helmet. The helmet cannot be worn in a fire because fire would denigrate the paint. It will be up for grabs in a silent auction Wednesday, June 18, at the Back Alley Party at The Wicked Spud in Hailey. It also will be available for bidding at the Hailey Business After Hours networking event from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 19, at the Hailey fire station at 617 S. 3rd Ave. in Hailey. The custom-painted fire helmet, which comes with a City of Hailey fire department patch, is also available on eBay from 7 p.m. Thursday,

Hailey Fire Department intern Nate Hoff shows off John Blackman’s custom-painted firefighter’s helmet. Hoff says he plans to go back to Kentucky for one more semester. Then he hopes to return here if he can find work: “For a small town, there’s so much going on here compared even to the big city. And I love the mountain biking and fly-fishing opportunities.”

Eric Lyon in a Mayan Rio ^ | Baby Tarpon from the turtle grass > by John Huber

There is subtle irony in the fact that the city of Campeche, Mexico, was raised from the ground with Mayan gold, but is now known best for the Silver King. It is tarpon that brought me to Campeche for the first time, but it is the city that brought me back time and time again. Campechano is a Spanish word used in Mexico to describe a person who is laidback, mellow and kind. Campeche is the city, and Campechanos are the citizens of the city. Not found on the grid of most tourist destinations, Campeche is a hidden gem found on the Gulf of Mexico. Even when spoken about in travel circles, the

city will normally take a backseat to its similar but much bigger neighbor Merida. The city is frequented by more European tourists than U.S. sunseekers. There are no beaches in the city. Many of the Europeans come because the city is on the Mayan ruins circuit. There was once a great time of wealth in Campeche as it became a port of gold export for the Spanish. This did not go unnoticed by the pirates of lore who found easy pickings in the city until it was finally adorned with two massive forts lined with cannons that pointed into the Gulf of Mexico. The forts went up and the pirates never attacked again. They are never forgotten, though, in the stories of the city and are remem-

Health Clinic Maxed Out… And It’s Hardly Begun

Tim Stoddard says one of 10 calls fielded by the hospital relate to mental illness. STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

r. Tim Stoddard enjoyed the kind of reception every new business owner wishes he or she would receive. His clinic was full on the day he opened last October. And, seven months later, he still has a longer wait for new patients than he’d like. “For my facility to be full from ground zero shows the need and the support,” said Stoddard, who heads up St. Luke’s new Mental Health Services outpatient facility located in the St. Luke’s clinic near Friedman Memorial Airport. “I thought things would slow down three months ago, but I’m even further out now—even with 8 to 10 new contacts a week.” Stoddard attributes part of that success to St. Luke’s hospital making mental health services a priority. “I’ve also really been surprised at the support within the lay community—it’s refreshing and different,” he said. Stoddard earned his medical degree at Georgetown University School of Medicine, completing his psychiatric residency at the University of Washington. He came to Hailey from Coeur d’Alene. He’s supplemented by Gay Miremont, a full-time therapist who recently became trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). And the facility will probably add a second therapist next fall, Stoddard said. The clinic also added a nurse a month ago to keep up with the paperwork and prescription refills. The biggest holes to fill are with children and adolescents, Stoddard said, noting that the clinic has had a lot of high school students. “It’s a unique situation coming in and being psychiatrist for the whole community. I treat those 16 and older—adult psychiatry is what I do best.” St Luke’s is exploring the idea of partnering with a Twin Falls doctor who would come to Hailey on, perhaps, a weekly basis. Telepsychiatry between a psychiatrist in Twin Falls and children in the Wood River Valley may also prove useful, Stoddard said.

Meet The Bitterroot

STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

itterroot has an odd name for being one of the most beautiful flowers found in the Sun Valley area. Likely, it got that name from Native Americans, who dug its roots for food, usually in the spring before the roots became too bitter to eat. The flower’s generic name, Lewisia rediviva, honors Capt. Meriwether Lewis of Lewis and Clark fame. The Nez Perce helped nurse Lewis and Clark’s men back to health with these roots and other foodstuffs following the difficult crossing of the Bitterroot Mountains in Northern Idaho that almost ended their lives. The flowers, which are Montana’s state flower, bloom on south-facing slopes of shale— these were found along Rock

Creek Road west of Hailey. The leaves begin to wither before the flower has fully bloomed. Want to know more? Join the Sawtooth Botanical Garden on one of its Thursday wildflower walks. This Thursday’s walk will be led by Lisa Horton of the Environmental Resource Center. Participants can meet at 9:30 a.m. at the garden, a few miles south of Ketchum on Highway

75. From there they will carpool to nearby Boxcar Bend and Lake Creek Preserve north of Ketchum. Walkers are encouraged to bring their own picnics and wear comfortable walking shoes. The outing is expected to last until about 2 p.m. The walk is free but donations are gratefully accepted. To make a reservation, call 208-726-9358. tws

“I had good experience with telepsychiatry with snowbirds while in Coeur d’Alene. It’s completely different to have video interaction rather than phone,” he said. “College-age kids preferred this method. They think it’s kind of cool. I found I got more out of them using this method than in person because they felt more comfortable with it.” Stoddard had originally intended to go into family practice but didn’t like the pace of popping in and out of different rooms as he worked with several patients at once. “I liked psychiatry because all I needed was a couple chairs and a quiet room. There aren’t a lot of interruptions,” he said. That said, there is a shortage of psychiatrists nationwide, especially among youth psychiatrists. Part of that can probably be attributed to stigma concerning the mental health field, even though there’s definitely less stigma than in the past, Stoddard said. “Even among medical personnel, there’s still a little question: ‘Are you really a doctor?’ ” he said. tws

NAMI

Wood River Valley NAMI will have its monthly meeting and potluck from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Minnie Moore Room at the Community Campus, 1050 Fox Acres Road in Hailey. The National Alliance on Mental Illness meeting is open to the public. This month’s guest speaker is Val Seeley, a behavioral health clinician in Region 5 of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. She will talk about resiliency and the DHW’s mental health services available in the Wood River Valley. The meeting is open to the public, but those planning to attend are encouraged to RSVP at namiwrv@gmail.com or 208-309-1987.

compassionate community is one that is concerned for the well-being of everyone in the Valley. People do not only look out for themselves, they look out for the community as a whole. No one person is put above anyone else. We are all viewed as equal. In the Wood River Valley, each citizen is given the same rights and prejudices do not exist. Every citizen has realized the ultimate goal of achieving personal happiness. The community is brighter. Even on gloomy days, the sun just shines a little bit brighter. Everyone in the community would

feel a sense of self-worth. No one would feel down about themselves. Everyone would view everyone else as valued members of the community. There would be no one on the outskirts of the Valley. Social cliques would not exist. Each citizen would be included in the larger community as a whole. My vision of a compassionate community is not one that is not unrealistic. I know a perfect utopia does not, or will not, exist. A simple smile or a wave hello can easily make someone’s day. Why do we not do this? What is stopping us? It does not take much to make a realistic, compassionate community. Every individual in the Valley has the power to make a change. Will you join us?

helby Barnes, a Wood River High School senior, wants to make a change in the world and she believes that the best way to do this is through a career as a journalist. “I think journalism still has a good name but it’s been overshadowed a bit by the onslaught of social media,” Barnes said. “We’ve lost sight of the necessity of the career. For the public to understand what’s really going on people need to get the real facts, not just what they read on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Recently, it appeared on Facebook that they had found the Malaysian jetliner and the story was totally false.” It was during her freshman year that Barnes really began paying attention to the news. “I took a creative writing class where we researched current events. It just really interested me and really spurred my interest in

“We’ve lost sight of the necessity of the career. For the public to understand what’s really going on people need to get the real facts, not just what they read on Facebook, Twitter, etc.” - Barnes writing. Recently, I was in Seattle and found myself studying all the different people and writing in my journal what I observed. It was a really fun and creative ex-

perience.” For her senior project Barnes job-shadowed a journalist—Jennifer Liebrum, of the Idaho Mountain Express—for three months. “I pretty much followed her everywhere she went and got to observe her work and, most importantly, see how she conducted interviews. An example was when we interviewed the cast of the play, Shipwrecked! We were able to watch rehearsals and I loved watching Jennifer work. I was able to observe her take notes and she could really write for forever. She was also so prepared with her questions. I took away from the experience that it’s hard to be a journalist and really hard to teach someone how to do it. It’s a very independent profession and Jennifer can’t teach me how to write. She could take me along, but that only went so far and then it was really exciting to read her articles. It was also very exciting to have my own articles published in the paper. It was a truly rewarding experience and I want to do it again.” Barnes has also spent a lot of time giving back to the community through service and through her years as a Girl Scout. “I started at five as a Daisy and finished as a Junior Cadet. “Basically, your goal is to help where you can around the community. It’s a really great way for girls to bond and get out of their shell and motivate each other to succeed in this world. My favorite memory was when I completed my bronze award at 13 by finishing a project that was constructing an agility horse seat at the Animal Shelter. So many people came, including the newspaper, and it was the first time that I felt that people knew who I was.” For Barnes, the Girl Scouts have been an incredible experience. “I’ve developed such strong friendships, especially my two best friends, who I have known since elementary school. It has also matured me in so many ways. So many people my age are totally involved with the Internet or their phones. The Girl Scouts showed me so much more. It made me realize that I want to help others.”

Both Bill and Vivian have been 4-H leaders, helping their son Devin and daughter Michelle and their friends show animals. They’ve also judged kids’ dogs, horses, rabbits and chickens all over Idaho. “I always enjoy seeing the kids we’ve worked with—Ryan Thomas is working with cows. Another is in Texas working in the horse industry,” Vivian said. Vivian worked full-time in Atkinsons’ floral department until two years ago when she fell off her horse near Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park and broke her hip. She lay there seven hours before she was chauffeured to the hospital aboard a helicopter. When the pins inserted into her hip didn’t heal, she got a whole new hip. At 71 she still rides horses nearly every day—recently, she took part in a breakfast ride with the Sawtooth Rangers that included 25 horse riders and a mule-driven wagon carting others. The ride was preceded by blueberry pancakes and capped with a Dutch-oven meal of Pepsi chicken. In July,Vivian plans to ride in the historic Appaloosa trail ride commemorating the route that Nez Perce Chief Joseph took his people on as they tried to escape to Canada in 1877.

She’s not quite used to this, having grown up in town. But we’ve lived this way all these years. It’s just the way we live,” said Vivian. It’s Vivian’s love of horses that led Swiftsure Ranch Therapeutic Equestrian Center to name her to the Blaine County Heritage Court, which will hold its coronation ceremony June 22. Vivian is active in the Sawtooth Rangers Riding Club, a group that works to improve riding trails and supports activities like trail rides and rodeos. Vivian also has been a 4-H leader for years. She grew up in Sheridan, Wyo., where she rode her beloved horse everywhere. “I didn’t have a car so I’d ride across town and pick up my best friend with her suitcase to bring her home for a sleepover. My dad was always having to get the horse trailer and retrieve me because I’d ride too far.” Vivian was serving as maid of honor at that best friend’s wedding when she noticed the brother of the groom. It felt like love at first sight, even though she had known Bill Bobbitt since they were children. She called off her engagement and she and Bill were married five months later. “Fifty-one years this year,” said Bill. “Seems like a lifetime.” STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

Vivian Bobbitt will be inducted into the Blaine County Historical Museum Heritage Court on June 22 at The Liberty Theatre. She will be joined by Joyce Edwards, Elizabeth “Betts” Simon and Dorothy Ann Outzs. The ladies, who are being honored for their contributions to the Wood River Valley, will also be feted by The Community Library at a tea for former and current honorees and a luncheon at The Senior Connection. They will participate in summer parades in Hailey, Carey, Ketchum and Bellevue. Information: Mike Healy at 788-4807.

Following The Lines

Bill worked for Idaho Power and the couple “followed the lines.” They moved from North Dakota to Montana to Utah to Wyoming to Idaho, with Vivian setting up home in an 8-by-39-foot trailerhouse built in 1954 that they hauled from place to place with a one-ton truck. Vivian cooked roasts and other meals for the crew, comprised of single men or men whose wives were home tending to schoolchildren. At nights they would make waffles with the waffle iron Bill bought Vivian during their first year of marriage and play cards with the crew. “Sometimes we moved every week,” Vivian said, recounting stints in Cascade, Yellow Pine, Twin Falls, Buhl and Rupert. “Our cat thought that car was her home because we traveled so much.” She paused. “This is my favorite place. We came here in the early ‘80s and we’ve lived here longer than anywhere else, including Sheridan. This land looked like home. It was just a plain field then with a couple old farmhouses. We had antelope in our front yard, deer in the back and elk in the pasture. I could get on my horses and ride as far as I wanted and not ever hit a fence. “We have beautiful hills, spectacular sunrises and sunsets and nice neighbors. The people here are a lot friendlier than anywhere else.”

The Cowboy Way

Vivian and Bill were invited on a trail ride with the Sawtooth Rangers shortly after they moved to the Valley and they have been avid members ever since. Bill has served as president of the club for nine years, in addition to serving as vice-chairman of the Intermountain Pro Rodeo Association (IMPRA). Vivian has served as secretary. They’ve been heavily involved with the skijoring competition the Rangers put on each winter, as well as the July 4th Days of the Old West Rodeo, which raises money for high school rodeo, 4-H and The Senior Connection. The last rodeo raised $20,000 for the community. “I haven’t seen the rodeo in a long time I’ve been so busy taking

Flowers In Bloom Latest Real Estate Endeavor: A Home For Weevils At Craters BY KAREN BOSSICK

ome people raise cows. Or pigs. The Environmental Resource Center is raising weevils. Ketchum’s ERC is partnering with the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Ketchum Ranger District to open a bug nursery, or insectary, near the SNRA headquarters seven miles north of Ketchum. The idea is to raise a brood of weevils that will fight the spread of knapweed, particularly spotted knapweed, in the Wood River Valley. And they’re asking for the community’s help in Courtesy Photo feeding the knapweed root weevils. “We’re asking the community to bring knapweed plants to feed the insects,” said Kathryn Goldman, part of the ERC’s Pesticide Action Team. The dark gray-and-whitespeckled weevils, native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean, were imported from Missoula, Mont. Local bug crews harvested some, as well. Volunteers are being asked to bring spotted knapweed

crowns to the bug corral at the SNRA between 3 and 7 today to help plant the insectary. The goal is 400 plants up to 4 to 6 inches high with 4 inches of roots. Roots should be wrapped in a moist paper towel during transport. Officials hope to turn the weevils loose on bio-control projects in the community next summer. That means property owners and land manages will soon

have one more tool for fighting knapweed without the use of harmful chemicals, said Molly Goodyear, executive director of the ERC. The use of the weevils will be free of charge, said Robert Garcia, who manages weed control efforts for the SNRA. The corral encompasses a 25-by-50-foot enclosure made of posts and metal flashing near the SNRA maintenance garage.

noxious weeds

The weevils don’t fly, Goldman said. When the weevils, known as Cyphocleonus achates, climb up the flashing and reach the curved top, they will simply fall over back inside the corral. Once turned loose on the knapweed, each weevil will lay a hundred eggs in root notches it digs into the root crown of knapweed during its eight- to 15-week adult lifespan. The larva that emerges from the egg will tunnel into the roots and feed on plant tissue, sometimes producing a gall and destroying the root tissue. The weevils were first released to control knapweed in the United States in the 1980s. The purple thistle-like plant, which stands 2 to 3 feet high, spreads like wildfire and can be poisonous to other plants. Educational signage and displays will be constructed on-site to teach the public about the insectary and bio-control. Funding and expertise for the project was provided by Bureau of Land Management bio-control specialist Joey Milan.

Summertime In The Valley H ere at the Blaine County Weed Department (BCWD) we’ve heard the same question a few times and we thought we’d address it in case there were others thinking the same thing. The question is “If you have noxious weeds on your property, does the County make you use pesticides to control them?” The answer is no. We use an integrated management plan when it comes to managing noxious weeds in Blaine County. This means that we employ the use of pesticides, bio-control, mechanical control, and environmental factors when working with noxious weeds. If the BCWD determines there are weeds on your property that need to be removed (remember! It is State law that property owners manage the noxious weeds on their property) we will work with you on the best course of action for the type of weed you have, where the weeds are located, and how your land is being used. Sometimes bio-control is the best option, sometimes weedwhacking or handpulling will do the trick, and sometimes pesticides do work best. We want to help you make the best decision for the land that you have, and we work closely with the Environmental Resource Center (ERC) to stay current on non-pesticide methods of weed control. In fact, we, along with the ERC, Wood River Land Trust, BLM, and Forest Service, have built an insectuary at the

tws

SNRA Headquarters north of Ketchum. The insectuary will house weevils that will be used to fight the spread of Spotted Knapweed throughout the County. The next step is to plant the interior of the corral with enough spotted knapweed crowns, approximately 400 plants, to feed the weevils and grow enough to begin harvest for bio-control projects in the community in 2015….and that’s where we need your help! Please assist us in this planting effort by bringing 6-10 spotted knapweed crowns to the SNRA Headquarters on June 11th between 3pm and 7pm. Plants can be up to 4-6 six inches high and should have about 4 inches of root. To protect the plants, wrap the roots in a moist paper towel during transport. Anytime you have questions about controlling noxious weeds or what the BCWD requires should you have weeds, don’t hesitate to contact us at 7885516.

Forecast: Palm trees for Boise?

Ohno! Was that Apolo running by?

Carson City, Nev., sits atop American cities when it comes to warming trends. An Associated Press analysis shows the average temperature there has risen 4.1 degrees since 1984, meaning it’s warmed more in the last three decades than any other city in the nation. But Boise is a close second. Its temperature rose 4 degrees during that time. Boise’s summertime temperatures from June through August has soared 4.6 degrees over the past three decades. Las Vegas was third with an increase of 3.4 degrees. Carson City homeowners have responded to the heat by installing more air conditioners, which once were a rarity in the town which, at 4,812 feet, is nearly double Boise’s elevation. Plants and trees are blooming earlier. tws

Olympic speed skating dynamo Apolo Ohno is trying on a new sport for size. And Boise is his testing ground. The 32-year-old Olympic athlete attempted his first triathlon with Saturday’s Ironman 70.3 Boise. It’s uncharted territory for the athlete. He ran in the 2011 New York City Marathon. But he hasn’t swum since 2012.

I concluded the musical experiment with a calming Carlos Nakai flute/Peter Kater piano CD. It was time for a little Mellow Down Easy. Sure enough, the birds stopped their manic behavior. Some birds (and the elephant) like to copy and respond to the sounds they encounter in the world. Two bird divas, the mockingbird and the meadowlark, are known for it. The birds here don’t quite do that, but some do engage in a form of call-andresponse. This has become a common feature of cultural expression in American pop music rooted in spirituals and acoustic blues, and now found everywhere from modern jazz to street jive. Musicians call it ‘trading riffs,’ ‘trading fours.’ In the Habitat, I hear a song and whistle a brief response. The bird answers, and then I answer. This can go on for a couple of minutes. This behavior has no utility. ‘We just be jammin’.’

5 Reasons To Keep Life Insurance In Retirement Presented by Patrick Buchanan – State Farm Agent Written By Staff

Your house is paid off, your kids are independent and you’ve built up a considerable nest egg. So why should you continue to pay life insurance premiums after you retire? If you’re thinking about dropping your life insurance, or if you’re younger and looking at your longterm options, know that your life insurance may allow you to do one or more things in retirement: Care for Dependents “Some individuals may still need the underlying coverage that life insurance provides,” says David Morganstern, a certified financial planner in Portland, Ore. Life insurance can help supplement available income sources such as Social Security—or help your family pay off significant financial obligations—like a mortgage—once you’re gone. Secure a Loan Whole life insurance accumulates a tax-deferred cash value, and policyholders can borrow against this amount. A retiree who’s downsizing, for example, could use the money to cover expenses while waiting for his or her home to sell. When choosing this option, keep in mind that the loan will accrue interest, which must be paid in order to keep the policy from terminating prematurely. Loans also reduce the cash surrender value and death benefit of the policy. Consult your tax advisor about possible tax consequences of this option. Ensure an Inheritance You can choose to leave your life insurance payout to your children, their children or your favorite charity. Even better: “Life insurance proceeds are generally not taxed as income,” Morganstern says. Beneficiaries generally receive the money tax-free. Boost Your Pension Pension recipients typically choose between two plans: single-life, which pays an income for as long as you live; and joint-and-survivor, which pays a smaller income over both your and your spouse’s lifetimes. With life insurance, you could choose the larger single-life option and your spouse could use the insurance payout to help cover the lost income if you pass away first. Pay Estate Taxes When properly owned, and in conjunction with an estate plan put together by a qualified attorney and other professionals, life insurance can be an effective tool to help pay taxes on a high-value estate after your death. “Life insurance is instantly liquid,” Morganstern says. With funds available to help pay taxes, your family could avoid taking on additional financial burdens or having to sell the estate. - See more at: http://learningcenter. statefarm.com/insurance/life/5-reasons-to-keep-life-insurance-in-retirement/#sthash.7zGJjF22.dpuf

So, You Want To Be A Firefighter? Brennan Rego is geared up and ready to report for The Weekly Sun on what it's like to be a firefighter. Photo by Hailey Fire Chief Craig Aberbach Story & Photos By Brennan Rego

y vision quickly surrendered to the smoke until I could barely see the firefighter in front of me as we forced entry into a house at 206 West Croy Street in Hailey on Thursday afternoon, May 29, during a “Firefighter Experience” media tour with the city’s fire department. “We’re going in,” said Hailey Fire Department Captain John Wisby—our crew commander— after an order for us to sweep the house and search for a possible victim crackled through on the radio from the big brass, Hailey

Bellevue, Hailey, Ketchum, Sun Valley and Wood River Fire Departments all participated in this awesome training opportunity. Photo: Brennan Rego

Fire Chief Craig Aberbach. Aberbach had invited local media members to participate in the experience to get a taste of what it’s like to be a firefighter. The property's owner—Greg Bloomfield, who resides south of Bellevue—had provided use of the house to the fire department for training purposes. He aims to build a new structure on the property and allowed the firefighters to burn it down on Saturday, May 31, to practice their skills during a live fire. “There will be less of the house to haul away,” Bloomfield said.

r e s t a u r a n t DINNER 7 DAYS A WEEK Dinner 5:30 to 9:00

Aberbach invited all the Wood River Valley’s fire departments—Bellevue, Ketchum, Sun Valley and Wood River Fire & Rescue—to take part in the live fire training. The firefighters were able to perform a live fire exercise just a few weeks ago in Sun Valley, but Aberbach said sometimes a few years can pass before structures become available, so all the departments come together to take advantage of each training opportunity. For the media exercise, the smoke was fake and there were no flames, but the experience was intensely harrowing, nonetheless. Dressed in about 60 pounds of firefighting clothing, including a helmet, air tank, mask and regulator, I crawled around the house on my knees, holding another 20 pounds of “the irons”—a flathead ax and halligan—in my left hand and clinging to a fire hose with my right hand. Holding on to the hose is the only way for a crew to stay together and remain oriented in the smoke-darkened environment.

“Clear!” we said as we searched each room for “Rescue Randy,” a mannequin that, according to our intel, was inside the house and in need of rescue. The bottom level was all clear, so we headed upstairs. I heard the terrifying sound of Darth Vader wheezing inside my head as I pulled air into my lungs through the regulator. I was Zen-focused on saving Rescue Randy as we lugged the hose up the stairs, the irons clutched in my hand. But I was also panicking. My vision began to tunnel as the adrenaline coursed through my veins. “There he is!” shouted one of our crew members. “We’ve got a victim.” Wisby ordered us to drop the hose and me to drop the irons so we could carry Randy out of the house. Randy was incredibly difficult to move, about 150 pounds of deadweight. We struggled to get him to the stairs, down the stairs and out of the house. It was far from a graceful or gentle rescue, but we did manage to carry him out to the fresh air.

Lunch Monday through Saturday 11:30 to 2:00

Heart thumping, I ripped off my mask and took in a deep breath. I was dripping perspiration. I had only been in the house for a few short minutes. The experience made me realize just how much training it takes to be comfortable and remain calm in a dangerous, dark and uncomfortable environment. Our firefighters deserve the utmost respect from all of us. I would have given them the shirt off my back right then and there, but it would have required a good wringing to get out a few gallons of my sweat. I decided a public thank you would be a far less disgusting token of my appreciation for their service, professionalism, and protection of our loved ones and property. So here it is: A sincere thanks to all our Valley’s firefighters for the unforgettable experience and for being there for all of us, all the time. You gals and guys are rock stars. tws

Dick Brown:

“You’re Not Rid Of Me Yet.” Dick Brown conducts the chorale he founded one last time before hanging up the baton for a fly-fishing rod. STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

ick Brown passed the baton—a couple of them, as a matter of fact—to R.L. Rowsey Sunday evening. But the retiring choir director also handed off a chorale conductor’s survival kit as he turned the Caritas Chorale over to Rowsey. It included earplugs, Tums, sleeping medication and sunglasses, “so they won’t know when you’re rolling your eyes.” Rowsey and Dorinda Rendahl, who will assist him, weren’t quite ready to accept it all, though. “I suggest you keep one of the batons for the times you’ll come back as guest conductor,” Rowsey told Brown. Concertgoers were treated to a beautiful array of wines, beers and hors d’oeuvres sitting among daffodils that included

Ann Taylor’s prize meatballs, Jane Beattie’s tuna bean cilantro medley, Ruth Lieder’s shrimp and artichoke medley, pear and goat cheese canapés and other exotic bites. Then Brown, with his wife Billie in the choir, treated a full house sitting amidst the art in Gail Severn Gallery to a menu of his favorites. It included medleys from “Paint Your Wagon” and “Porgy and Bess,” which Brown described as “America’s greatest opera;” “Moses Led His People” and patriotic numbers such as “God Bless America,” and “Dixie,” which the former Southerner described as “the other national anthem.” John and Melodie Mauldin, who recently moved to Salt Lake City in search of work, performed a “Ragtime” number and “Danny Boy,” which John said was the last song his mother heard his Irish tenor grandfather sing.

“Five years ago this community wrapped its arms around us. My heart still misses this place very much,” Melodie Mauldin told the audience. Brown led the audience and choir in an encore presentation of “Amazing Grace,” which segued into a standing ovation for the man who founded the chorale 15 years ago. “You’re not rid of me, yet. I will be coming back next year to do pre-opera lectures for The Met: (Live in HD) at the movie theater. Of course, that’s depending on the weather,” he added, noting there are four mountain passes between Helena, Mont., where he and Billie plan to make their home, and here. He paused: “Please keep supporting this group. Let it grow. Let it go where it will with R.L.” tws

Quality Of Life And The Older Dog BY FRAN JEWELL

see lots of friends and clients with older dogs and many times the question comes up about how to maintain quality of life for these older pets. I have had many older dogs in my life and I found there are a few very simple things that can add quality and closeness to your relationship with your older dog. First, think of something different for them to experience as often as possible. One of my favorites came from the Easter egg hunt I do for my dogs – but we don’t wait for Easter! I hide quartered hardboiled eggs around the yard for the dogs to find using their natural sense of smell. Smell is one of the last senses to become compromised in older dogs. You can throw kibble into the yard or grass for them to find their dinner. Use quality treats, too, like boiled chicken or cooked tiny beef meatballs. Low-fat cheese is another good snack for finding. Just be cautious about not too many at one time. If you don’t have a yard, hide little bits of food around the house and make a game of it. Walks on new surfaces are

excellent. Try a park or walk in the woods if you have any nearby, where there are logs to jump over, or a small stream to cross. You can throw in a few sits and downs for exercise as well! Make sure to have fun with plenty of small, low-fat, grain-free treats. Walking up and down gentle hills is another thing to look for. The caution is to not overdo the time or distance with our older friends. Let them set the pace, and even shorten the distance you think they can go. Whether you can take your dog someplace off-leash is another consideration. If you have a dog whose hearing is going, or their sight is going, walking off-leash could mean they don’t hear you or see you to come back. Many dogs panic in this situation and then will run hectically in fear, possibly into danger. Do your older dog a favor and use a long leash (even up to 20 or 30 feet or a Flexi retractable leash) so they can still have a sense of freedom, and so that you can still get them back if they cannot find you. New chewing experiences are wonderful, too. Try any of the new toys made for stuffing. Use the stuffing toy for meals by add-

ing a bit of wet food to their kibble so it will pack nicely into the toy. The chewing will help save those old teeth by giving them lots of exercise. Whole organic carrots are another favorite and healthy way for a senior dog to keep their teeth strong. Rides in the car can be another simple stimulation for senior dogs. Be cautious of taking them out on warm days; a parked car gets too hot too fast and older dogs cannot cool themselves as well. Use a ramp for ease of getting in and out. Stop along the way for a few minutes on a Flexi leash to enjoy a quiet new environment with lots of good smells. Stopping near a horse pasture where the horses are off in the distance can be something very fun for a senior dog to smell. Use caution about overwhelming stimulation. Pay attention to arthritis or old injuries. Movement is good! But too much movement can cause pain. Talk to your veterinarian about keeping your senior comfortable to help maintain that wonderful quality! Take lots of photos for precious keepsakes! Let creativity and sensibility be your guideline. Just like with puppies, senior “socialization” can keep an older dog stimulated and happy for a long time!

Fishing R eport The “Weekly” Fishing Report for june 11 from picabo angler

{calendar}

Silver Creek is now the quiet place to be after the drake has come and gone and with other rivers becoming fishable. If you want to see Silver Creek in all its summertime glory and before the July anglers come for the trico hatch, the next three weeks are for you! Plan on baetis, PMDs and callibaetis. Ants and beetles are also working very well. It is also time to consider really working hard with a mouse fly as the browns on the lower river will make the switch from the drake to other food sources. The Big Wood is very slowly dropping and clearing. This should continue now that we’ve had some warm days. If it does be ready for the green drake hatch and a plethora of stoneflies! The epoxy back green drake nymph fished under a huge royal stimulator is a deadly Big Wood combination as the water falls. Sofa pillows, Turks tarantula, and Colorado green drakes are a must-have! If you fish the Big Wood please be very careful and don’t take chances. Wading belts are a must, and fish with a friend. If you see the Big Wood is starting to drop, you can also bet that the Upper Big Lost is soon to follow. Just give it an extra week or two. The South Fork of the Boise is fishing very well, but is due to be cranked up any day. One thing we know is the cicada hatch is on, down on the South Fork, as well as the caddis hatch. Once the river is cranked up, we’ll know more about floating it and what new rapids are in place. There is still no overnight camping on the South Fork, so angler numbers are down slightly from years past. The important thing is that if the cicada is blowing up on the South Fork, you can pretty much count on it blowing up on the Big Wood, the Upper Lost, the Lower Lost and the Little Wood. We have brought in a lot of outstanding cicada patterns as we expected this to happen this summer. Stop on by and we’ll show you some great cicada patterns. Happy fishing, everyone!

Movie Review

Million Dollar Arm - Pitch Perfect

Rating:

BY JONATHAN KANE

here’s not a lot of intrigue as to where the new Disney sports-underdog-genre film Million Dollar Arm is going to go. But put that aside because the road it takes is as entertaining as any film you will see this summer. That’s due in large part to superior performances, direction and a script that will leave you crying your eyes out at the end. Its success is also, in large measure, because it’s a true story. In 2008 a failing sports agent came up with the promotional idea to have a contest in India to find a cricket player that could morph into a Major League pitcher with the promise of a billion new fans. In the new Disney movie the agent is played beautifully by Jon Hamm in his first attempt to carry a film all by himself. Not really all by himself, because he

has excellent help – especially from the two Indian teenagers he finds (ironically, they hate cricket) played by Madhur Mittal and Suraj Sharma (who was so wonderful in The Life of Pi). They are joined by Bollywood star Pitobash who serves as their interpreter and Alan Arkin as the cantankerous scout that follows Hamm on his search for a star. When Hamm returns, the boys are put in the hands of Zen-like pitching coach Bill Paxton. There’s a love interest, too, in the talented Lake Bell, who helps Hamm transform from a jerk into a true friend for the boys. Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) does a great job in handling the genre elements that would be easy to fail at, and Tom McCarthy has crafted a script that is loaded with heart. Sure, you know going in that everyone will probably succeed, but who cares? It’s all in the telling that counts. tws

What Is Symbiotic Systems Clinical Reflexology Really Good For? Mark Cook, Art (Regd)

his is my 11th year as an Advanced Reflexology Therapist and I’m never tired of watching the miracles that come out of my office restoring hope to those who have tried everything else before walking through my door and finely finding the relief they are seeking. In an effort to help people find the therapy that actually helps them without wasting all their money, I thought I would detail a few conditions where I feel new clients would have the best opportunity for success. Unfortunately, most people suffer for years without relief for these conditions and it’s sad our healthcare system is not focused on best practices so these conditions can be helped most effectively, but instead is focused on “managed care” (read profit stream) and using drugs that may cause more harm than good. Interestingly enough, I heard the drug companies are lobbying the Republican Congress so they don’t need to list the side effects in their commercials, so unsuspecting future patients/ public will know even less that the four-hour erection caused by their drug may harm them. It’s different in the natural healing world. Either you produce results, or you don’t stay in business because insurance companies refuse to cover drugless healing modalities. For example, at an acupuncture conference, I learned the vast majority of acupuncture school graduates don’t succeed and eventually go on to do something else. I was shocked because acupuncture,

in my experience, is very useful and my personal choice when I need help, so I just expected all graduates went on to help people. Not so. The good news is we have a Valley of excellent, successful acupuncturists to help us. Back to reflexology. As I explain to my clients, “your success is my success because the faster I can help you, the sooner you’ll tell someone and that’s the only way I can stay in business.” Unfortunately, not everyone is helped and it saddens me greatly because I specialize in pain relief and it is very obvious when we have success and when we don’t. Fortunately, this is my 11th year helping my clients. A Chinese

Your investment in reflexology is never wasted. I may not be able to help the condition you came in for, but in the process of trying, your chronic knee pain is better—in fact, all your joints feel better, the nerve pain down the back of your leg is gone, so is your wrist/hand pain, and the foot pain, too, and, by golly, your neck and back pain are gone, too, your migraine headaches never came back, you are sleeping better and less stressed, you’re no longer suffering from menstrual cramps/irregularities, you’re having the baby you never thought was possible and you notice an overall feeling of wellness has come over you.

study on over 3,500 people found foot reflexology to be 93 percent effective in 63 different conditions (www.reflex4usa.com). The reason so many conditions are helped is because the methodology of reflexology is to balance the whole body and, as each body system comes into balance, more conditions are addressed. I focus my time on the reason you came in, but the side effect of each visit is a full-body tuneup.

God who has blessed you (hopefully). In a nutshell, if you have the following conditions—sciatic pain, wrist/hand pain, knee pain, migraine (or other chronic headaches) pain, menstrual pain/ irregularities, leg/foot pain, back pain, neck pain or, in fact, any kind of pain at all—it is worth a session. Call 208-788-2012. I think I can help.

Bowe, Whoa, Whoa! BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

ell… I, uh… I… I’ve been wrestling with this column since I heard the news. What am I supposed to say? I took an informal poll of my friends and family after Bowe’s release and the results varied from welcome him back to hang him high. The citizens of the Valley seem to have mixed feelings about Sgt. Bergdahl’s release. It probably is a good idea that we don’t judge until the facts are all in because there seems to be a lot of grey areas surrounding the events. No one seems to know the real story, yet most of the opinions seem to be set in stone. Some steps must be taken: Bring him back because America leaves no one behind in a time of war; make sure he’s healthy; and then allow the military to decide if he walked away in the face of his duty. If found guilty, Bowe must pay the consequences. Let us remember he was a

good kid from Hailey. Let us believe that he agonized over his decision to walk away from a situation he deemed intolerable. Let us know that a man who has volunteered to serve his country has to conduct himself with honor and not let his fellow comrades down. Most veterans know that their buddies on the front line are the most important people in the world. We have learned that from all the stories of our veterans who have completed their tour of duty, suffered through post-traumatic depression and are attempting to carry on with their lives. These are the real heroes. They know what it was like. The drunk guy in the bar calling for blood who has never served in the armed forces just doesn’t deserve to cast stones and order another cocktail without knowing all the facts. Let’s all take a deep breath, put our opinions on hold and let the story run its course. I’m happy that the celebration has

been cancelled. It certainly doesn’t seem to be proper in the wake of this controversy. Bowe has a long way to go before he can return with his head up to the community who supported him so vehemently for the past five years. They did so with love and the purity of their hearts. We must respect them and their deeds. After talking to several locals who knew his father as their UPS driver who served their businesses for years, I heard only the deepest respect offered. There was no question in their minds that the Bergdahl family possessed great integrity and had raised Bowe to be a fine, thoughtful young man. Away from the nest, some lessons seemed to have gone astray. I hope we can avoid this rush to judgment. I hope justice is done. I hope Hailey remains the wonderful community it has become. I hope Bowe will be all right. Nice talking to you. tws

Wood River Land Trust’s recent acquisition of the Rock Creek Ranch. The Land Trust and The Nature Conservancy recently acquired the 10,400-acre ranch from developer Harry Rinker and his family—Bart, Diane and Rod—at a fraction of its fair market value. The Land Trust and Nature Conservancy combined private funding with $3.7 million in public funds from the Natural Resources Conservation Service to purchase the ranch. That means the land—one of the largest undeveloped properties in the Wood River Valley— will be conserved for wildlife, clean water and public access for future generations. “This will allow the area to continue to be actively ranched but provide habitat conservation for sage grouse and other wildlife. It will allow it to be managed by people who care and who can make adjustments to stewardship practices,” said Boettger, adding that experts will try to determine such things as where fences need to be taken out for wildlife migration. “None of this would be possible without the generosity of the Rinkers, who have had a long tradition of stewardship,” added Boettger, executive director of the Land Trust.

Hailey Overwhelmed With Controversy STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

t was supposed to have been a joyous occasion—a chance for a small Idaho town and a population filled with people with rosy cheeks flush with crisp mountain air to welcome back a native son whom locals had agonized over for five long years. But the grinches of a news cycle that needs to fill 24 hours a day with controversy and politicians who needed something after Obamacare and Benghazi to complain about ruined that good feeling. The City of Hailey cancelled the long-awaited welcome home celebration for Bowe Bergdahl, which was to include singer Carole King, last week in the interests of safety. City Administrator Heather Dawson said the city had received a hundred calls and e-mails a day since the young soldier’s release from Afghanistan on May 31. And local officials feared they might not have the forces necessary to deal with a gathering of several thousand, especially, if it involved groups of protestors. The Weekly Sun, like others, has been flooded with e-mails filled with the kind of vitriol you would think would be reserved for serial killers or mass murderers. Some even expressed the desire to lynch a young man who has not even laid a hand on another human being, as far as we know. Some of the military men who are now denigrating Bergdahl once voiced support for him—are

Silver Creek attracts 9,000 visitors a year, producing a couple million dollars a year in economic activity for the area, he pointed out. “And that just counts the ones who sign in. Many are from out of town,” he said. Since the area won’t be developed, taxpayers won’t have to pay for snowplows and school buses to run out to the area, Boettger added: “Smart growth—that’s what this is.”

they just looking for their 15 seconds of fame? And the talking heads—well, we know they’re always chock full of information so piercingly accurate that even God wonders where they got it. The only one WHO REALLY KNOWS what happened that June day in 2009 is Bowe Bergdahl. And there’s a chance that he may have buried those memories so deeply during the five years of torture and anguish that have ensued that even he isn’t clear about what happened, anymore. What we do know for sure is that one military report described Bergdahl as a young man who was punctual, always in correct uniform and “asking good questions.” It also described him as a free-spirited man who was a bit bored, who relished drinking tea with Afghan soldiers from whom he tried to learn a few Pashto phrases. And that he had left his base before— perhaps to explore, as he was wont to do in the backcountry of Idaho. There are those who think the community was wrong for cancelling a show of support for a local and his family who have been through five years of unimaginable hell. “How sad that you bowed to pressure brought on by mostly fabricated stories and took away even a few days of a happy reunion for Bowe, Bob and Jani,” said one. “We have absolutely no way of knowing the truth at this point, yet you decided to believe possibly outright lies.” “It’s a shame that a supportive community is not allowed to rejoice and show their continuing support for a local—and that that community is receiving serious threats,” said another. “Makes me wonder who the real terrorists are!” Perhaps this community should do what small communities do best: Go ahead and have its small-town hometown celebration. But spread the news through word of mouth, giving locals just enough time to pull on their Spandex bicycle shorts, don their flip-flops and hotfoot it to the park! We can hug and cheer and wipe one another’s tears. And then let the world go back to debating tomorrow.

rock creek Celebrate with a hoedown! The Wood River Land Trust will celebrate the acquisition of the Rock Creek Ranch with a hoedown from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday, June 26. The celebration will be held at the Rock Creek Ranch barn, 16 miles southwest of Hailey out Croy Canyon Road. There’ll be barbecued chicken, hot dogs, beans, potato salad, watermelon, lemonade and tea. People can bring their own bottle, if they like. The Kim Stocking Band will provide music. There also will be truck-pulled hay rides, horseshoes, lassoing and hatchet throwing-demonstrations and bean bag toss—also known as “corn hole,” according to Jill Wenglikowski, development associate for the Wood River Land Trust. Historic storyboards will be put up in the barn. And organizers hope that families who lived out Rock Creek will be in attendance. Sponsors are the Wood River Land Trust, The Nature Conservancy, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Idaho Fish and Game, Hall and Hall, Blaine County and the Bureau of Land Management.

bered with a kind of fondness, even giving their professional baseball team the moniker Campeche Piratas (Pirates).

A World Heritage Site

Campeche is an old Spanish colonial city that has been equally influenced by Spanish, Mexican and Mayan cultures. The city center today stands adorned in cobbled streets and ornate ironwork; even the doors to the buildings are massive and beautiful and worth stopping to see and photograph. Enter almost any building and you are greeted with courtyards resplendent in plants, pools and historic tilework. The central square and the massive cathedral found there are the epicenter of the city and a gathering place for Campechanos. The United Nations declared Campeche a World Heritage Site in the 1990s and, because of this, the historic city walls, the forts and the buildings will all remain for generations to come. The central portion of the city is a maze of cigar shops, tailors, hotels, hidden bars, a variety of shops and restaurants. The food of the city is seafood-based and, again, one will note all three cultural influences when ordering in most restaurants. Being off the tourist grid also makes Campeche affordable whether shopping, dining or staying in beautiful haciendas turned into hotels. Amongst the finest features of this amazing city is its proximity to some of the world’s largest expanses of turtle grass flats and Mayan ruins. The Edzna Mayan site is a short ride from the city and, if you’ve ever wanted to walk alone amongst massive pyramids, statues, fields and more, then this is a place for you. Just pick a weekday morning and go to Edzna as early as they open, pay the small fee to go in and you will more often than not find yourself alone in the middle of a massive Mayan city with nothing but blue sky, bird calls and

your imagination running wild through it all. A truly surreal experience for anyone. The reason Campeche is a frequent place I seek, it also sits just beyond the city limits—the turtle grass flats system. An angler, by boat, can be in true wilderness within five minutes of leaving the city. A shoreline of mangrove forest stretches up the coast for miles. I’ve spent hours traveling up this coastline only seeing turtles, dolphins, kingfishers and, of course, tarpon. The coastline is also loaded with river mouths that bring fresh water to the Gulf. Minutes offshore massive shoals of baitfish swim and bring the whole system to life. For a tarpon angler this place is notable. The massive population of baby tarpon that can reach 50 pounds here is sometimes unfathomable.

Chasing Tarpon

Raul Castaneda is a Campechano and gentleman’s gentleman. He is the owner of Tarpon Town Anglers and is a model business owner in the fly-fishing industry. Starting with two sit-ontop kayaks, Raul began giving tours of the mangrove rivers. He eventually added more kayaks, and then a few more, and then a few more. While giving these tours Raul was seeing and pondering the baby tarpon that are seemingly everywhere. This turned into obsession and he traded his kayaks in for a powerboat and fly rods. He began chasing tarpon as a guide. Once you meet Raul you can see why he now runs five boats and has a well-trained guide staff and is a pillar of his community. Raul has

reached out on many levels. He prides himself in taking true “fishermen” from the local area and employing them as fishing guides. He will be the first one to tell you these guides don’t all speak perfect English, they don’t all cast fly rods 90 feet, and they are not highly educated, but they did grow up in these waters. They know the tides, the nuance. They can look at the bend in the turtle grass and tell you if the fish will bite. They can see the salinity of the rivers by their color. They know the kind of weather changes by the shape of clouds. They can keep you safe in the sense that your wilderness is their home. Raul also fights hard on the conservation side of his trade and does what he can to help curb illegal fishing, or reduce kill tournaments for tarpon over what he knows is a sensitive ecosystem. Raul has also reached out to many associates here in the U.S. to try to help him establish connecting flights to Campeche in order to help the local economy and bring more tourist dollars to the city. There is something fine and comforting knowing there is a place where you can step through a nondescript doorway, walk up a flight of narrow steps and emerge onto a veranda overlooking the square and cathedral. A place to sip fine tequilas, smoke Cuban cigars and watch the city through its vibrant nighttime hours all while watching the city go to sleep. By the time you’ve finished pondering all that is right and well with your setting, the shops will have closed, the streets will have become abandoned, and your walk home will take on its own surreal life.

“Campechanos”

Raul Castaneda and Eric Lyon deep in the game!

Eric Lyon with a Baby Tarpon

Campeche represents an area and a people that are balanced in the sense that the happiness that makes Campeche citizens “Campechanos” is alive and well and this feeling of lightness prevails and engulfs visitors quickly. Perhaps the quiet of the gulf waters and a mix of culture rich in history adds to the prevailing attitude of kindness. Perhaps it’s a history of struggle and strife that bore forth a time of peace and tranquility. Regardless of how the city exudes this atmosphere of joy in living, the simple fact is that it does, and it’s easily accessible for you and me. Finally, if you go, take some tarpon flies and a fly rod! You can go and catch tarpon, but it’s likely that the city will also catch you. tws

Fresh Bucks brings SNAP to the Farmers’ Markets!

The Hunger Coalition and the Wood River Farmers’ Markets are teaming up to increase access to fresh, locally grown food for those in need. Starting this summer, the Ketchum and Hailey Farmers’ Markets will accept EBT/SNAP (food stamp) cards. In addition to being able to purchase fresh food with their SNAP dollars, local sponsors have contributed Fresh Bucks funds which will allow those dollars to be matched one to one, up to $20. For individuals living on a tight food budget, this will allow their $20 SNAP credit to become $40 worth of fresh, healthy food. This offer will be available to participants weekly while funds last. The markets run from June 10 to October 9 and are in Ketchum on Tuesdays from 2-6pm at the Fourth Street Heritage Corridor and in Hailey on Thursdays from 2-6pm on Main Street next to Sturto’s. Contact The Hunger Coalition at 788-0121 or email: info@thehungercoalition.org for more information on the Fresh Bucks program.

Over time, Roquet has taught many of her customers how to brew coffee for maximum taste, often recommending coffeemakers suited for their lifestyle. Customers can still pick up bags of coffee at the shop or online, even designing the label on the bag if they like. But many of those same customers also wanted to drop by for a cuppa joe at the bar or to go, Roquet said. Roquet’s husband Lee even built a bench that wraps around the tree out front for those who want to soak up the morning rays while they sip their coffee. Jeffra Syms is among those who checked out the new coffee bar, popping in one morning before heading to work at Zions Bank. “It’s awesome. That town needs it. We need Lizzy’s coffee,” she said. “I love the flavor. It’s great,” said Don Boss. “It’s better than great. C’mon,” added Art Laws.

Liz Roquet can prepare Limited Edition drip coffees using the Hario V60 pourover coffee brewing equipment. Each pot makes two cups. “There’s not a pot sitting there. Every cup is brewed to order if someone walks in and wants drip coffee,” she said.

Lori Johnston swirled the frothy flower design in her latté as she told the story of how her family accompanied Lee and Liz Roquet on a camping trip near Island Park. “Liz packed her espresso machine, hooked it to my generator and we woke up to lovely Lizzy’s coffee,” she said. Now Johnston—and others—can wake up to Lizzy’s Fresh Coffee five days a week, thanks to the opening of the new Sunriser Coffee Bar. Coffee lovers can belly up to a handcrafted cup of espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, latté, Americano or mocha—with a barista’s artistic touch—between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Mondays through Fridays. Lizzy’s Fresh Coffee with its bright blue Diedrich roaster is at 971-4 Main St. in Ketchum, across from the Knob Hill Inn. “We had our weekly tastings, but that wasn’t enough for people who wanted our coffee every day,” said Roquet. “Many of our customers have been asking us to open our doors more than once a week. I love what I do so much I wanted to share.” Lizzy’s Fresh Coffee started out six years ago as an online coffee retailer that provided freshly roasted specialty coffees online and through pick-ups to give customers a fresh roasted experience.

Iconoclast Books owner Sarah Hedrick, who has raised more than $65,000 thus far with a crowd-funding campaign at Indiegogo to keep her doors open, suggested that business leaders band together with the business people in Hailey and, perhaps, even Bellevue.
