Youngsters Learn “The Bare Necessities” BY KAREN BOSSICK

very prickly pear, flower and rock from age 4 through eighth-grade will have a chance to act, sing and dance when Company B presents Disney’s “The Jungle Book Kids” this week. The play will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at the Community School Theatre in Sun Valley. Tickets are $5 for children and $10 for adults, available only at the door.

COURTESY PHOTO

It will feature 131 kids enrolled in the two-week Company B acting camp offered by St. Thomas Playhouse. The kids will present the story of Mowgli, a boy who is raised by wolves in the jungle only to be chased out by Kahn the tiger. Bagheera the panther wants to guide Mowgli to the man village, even though Mowgli doesn’t want to leave his home. En route, they have spine-tingling encounters with Kaa the snake, who lulls Mowgli into a deep sleep as he sings “Trust in Me”; a herd of elephants led by the dotty Col. Hathi; and a large boulder that turns into Baloo the bear. As Baloo offers Mowgli his philosophy on life in “The Bare Necessities,” a group of shifty-looking monkeys tiptoes in and kidnaps Mowgli. Swinging along to “Monkey Business,” they take Mowgli deep into the jungle to King Louie who tells Mowgli he wants to learn how to be a man. Bagheera and Baloo devise a plan to rescue Mowgli but, when Baloo can’t get enough of that jumpin’ jazz, his disguise falls

off blowing his cover. And the chase is on. Baloo rallies the other jungle creatures into battle when Khan reappears, and— ohmigosh—a beautiful young girl steps out of the jungle. What will happen next? “The show itself is more of an ensemble piece so the jungle creatures are on stage most of the time, watching and learning from each other,” said co-choreographer Melodie Mauldin. “It’s quite colorful,” added Cherie Kessler. “Kaa the snake and tempter is made up of a head

The cast: Seamus O’Connoll plays Mowgli; Luke Mauldin and Liv Nelson are co-cast as King Louie; Caroline Seawards plays Baloo; Sierra Stern, Shanti; Hayden Miller Kaa’s head; and Hayley Allen, Christine DuFur, Maddie Piggins, Frankie Rippo, Grace Cleveland and Lucca Vernoy, Kaa’s body. Shea Slanetz plays Col. Hathi; Andrew Garratt, Sheer Kahn; Kye Harned, Bagherra; and McCade Parke, Caelin Bradshaw, Max Albright and Nick Fehr, the monkeys. Others with major parts in the cast include Maya Lightner, Ella Boice, Julia Ott, Skylar Maguire, Langley Bier, Bella Maurtua, Logan Wojick, Mimi Longe, Samantha Soares, Ava Berhaeghe, Elena Vorm, Coco Vorm and Addison Mary.

and five kids holding Hula-Hoops inside the costume dancing around like a Chinese dragon.” Alison Higdon has helped the kids construct costumes. The children also have been in charge of building an ancient city buried deep within the jungle. Brett Mollenberg is the director; Peter Burke and Melodie Mauldin, the choreographers; and Alyssa Hershey and Joel Bejot, the music directors. This is Company B’s 10th anniversary. “It’s grown so much,” said Sara Gorby. “I remember watching the original children growing up and taking on ‘Seussical.’ Now some of those kids are in ‘South Pacific’ and some are interns for Company B.” Today Company B is still introducing youngsters to song and dance. “One of the moms told us, ‘I don’t know what you’re doing, but the kids are exhausted when they get home,’ ” said Gorby. “It’s doesn’t surprise me that it’s survived 10 years,” said Mauldin. “Everyone who works with it has a common vision centered around helping these kids to grow.” tws

his spring’s warmer than usual temperatures and beautiful sunny days have gotten summer off to an early start for many, especially for local green thumbs. The recent rain is a welcome reprieve that will provide a boost to local gardens and keep our valley greener longer. A rise in home gardening has historically accompanied economic recessions, and the most recent downturn has been no exception. The National Gardening Association tracks garden trends. They reported a 17% growth in home gardens from 2008 to 2013. A few dollars spent on a pack of tomato seeds can turn into weeks of salsa, tomato sauce and salads, helping families stretch already tight budgets. Along with providing fresh, healthy produce free from harmful chemicals, a backyard garden can help to ease stress, keep your body limber and even get you in a better mood. A study conducted in the Netherlands showed that spending time outside tending to those tomatoes left participants feeling happier and healthier. Seems like a great return on the investment of time and minimal dollars. Here at The Hunger Coalition we have strong feelings about gardening. Our 10,000 - square - foot Hope Garden in downtown Hailey serves as an outdoor classroom for children and adults, and a highly productive fruit, vegetable and herb garden. Participants in our garden workshops and programs unanimously report on the positive effects of being in the garden. Our garden volunteers are a hardy, committed crew happily dedicated to weed pulling and harvesting hundreds of pounds of produce each summer for our Mobile Food Bank. Just taking a walk through the garden, with bees buzzing through the flowers, birds chirping and a breeze rustling the plants, can bring a moment of relaxation. It’s open to the public -- we encourage you to come by and take a stroll! Beyond the obvious benefits to mental and physical health, gardening can be good for the whole community. Growing a garden reduces your carbon footprint, and if you buy your gardening supplies in the valley, keeps more dollars local. Not everyone has the space to grow their own garden. At The Hunger Coalition, we have a “Grow A Row” program for those interested in helping their neighbors in need by growing a little extra or donating from gardens bursting beyond capacity. We also have a “Grow Your Own” program for community members with limited space and resources. The purpose of our programs is ensuring our neighbors in need have the nutrition and support necessary for a successful transition out of our food lines. With 2,300 local children and adults coming to The Hunger Coalition for help last year, we see these garden programs as critical to the continued health and well-being of our entire community. This summer, consider turning that corner of your yard into a small vegetable garden, or adding an extra row to your existing bed and donating the excess to those who can’t grow their own. The benefits to you and your community are nearly boundless.

o community will ever be perfectly compassionate, but we can certainly try. I envision the Wood River Valley as a place of safety and trust, a place where fear of being alone at night has dissipated, for we no longer have to fear the predators in the dark, stalking the moves of their prey. Suicide rates have dropped, for those who once felt alone or depressed now find comfort and support in

other people. Although crimes are still committed and mistakes are still made, the community sheds light on the subject and does not put up with the offense, instead of waiting for figures of authority to take a stand. In the street, passersby smile and wave at each other, exchanging greetings with strangers and acquaintances alike. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and grandparents worry less than they used to because the Wood River Valley is a family, and family watches out for each other, no matter what happens.

Kailey Wilt: Through A Camera Lens

BY JONATHAN KANE

ailey Wilt, a Wood River High School senior carrying a 3.8 grade point average, has a penchant for travel and then capturing what she sees through the lens of her camera. “I guess it comes from my parents. They are extremely adventurous and wanted me to be the same way,” she said. “It’s so exciting to be exposed to new cultures and have the ability to learn things about them that you would never have in school. For instance, I know what side of the street they drive on in India, how to place phone calls from Belgium and what is the national language of Belize (English). There is nothing quite like experiencing it firsthand.”

“I guess it comes from my parents. They are extremely adventurous and wanted me to be the same way,” she said. “It’s so exciting to be exposed to new cultures and have the ability to learn things about them that you would never have in school.” - Wilt The most exotic place Wilt has traveled to has been India – where she went on a student expedition with National Geographic. “It was a photography trip and you had to apply with two essays to get accepted. On the trip you had classes every

day and at night we would review the work from that day. India had so many extremes. We stayed in schools and stayed in palaces and met royalty on the trip, which was pretty amazing. In Ladak, a National Geographic photographer who worked with us on composition and mentored us in different techniques joined us. The opportunity was irreplaceable.” What did she take away from the whole experience? “It was a real eye-opener to see how fortunate we are coming from the U.S. and a place like Sun Valley. I had never seen extreme poverty like that before. The last day there we volunteered in the slums and I saw a girl there my age in flip-flops. I gave her my Teras shoes and she was so ecstatic that she didn’t know what to say. Also, there were so many people that it was almost suffocating and it took awhile to get used to the fact that it was alright culturally to stare at people. Because of my dark hair and pale skin I was mistaken for royalty and was constantly being given gifts, which was a little bit unusual.” Next year Wilt will be taking off from school and will instead travel to Thailand for humanitarian work. “When I was in India I was shocked by the inhumane treatment of elephants for tourism and for the circus. I wanted to get involved so I found a two-month program that affords physical therapy and rehabilitation for the animals. I think it will give me some closure and help me to grow as a person.” She will then take two months to work in small villages educating people in hygiene and healthcare. “I have an interest in the medical field and this will be a good introduction.” In any case, it is all service in a variety of forms. “It’s all so rewarding. In India we helped kids with their English so they could pass their final exams. All the kids were so ambitious and they all wanted to be entrepreneurs. It was so interesting to see what they wanted to do with their lives. It wasn’t any different from us but they were coming from such poverty that it was amazing.”

Water Supply Outlook For Central Idaho

he Idaho Water Supply Outlook Report published by the Natural Resources Conservation Service summarizes that too little or just enough water best sums up this year’s water supply across the state. Northern Idaho and the Snake River basin in eastern Idaho experienced near record high snowpacks this year but the Big and Little Wood and Big and Little Lost basins in the center of the state were the opposite. Storms coming from the west and

consecutive low snow years. Magic Reservoir is currently storing 55 percent of average and is expected to be out of irrigation water by early July. Little Wood Reservoir is at 53 percent capacity and is already cutting off water supply to junior water rights holders while others should have water into early July. Wise planning and planting combined with improved irrigation delivery and sprinkler systems will help stretch this year’s limited water supply

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” - Hippocrates

he term Sustainability is used to describe many different approaches toward improving our way of life. We think one of the most important ways to achieve this is through Eating Local and seasonally. With summer arriving, we have the beginning of the Ketchum and Hailey Farmers Markets under way with Local Vendors selling their products. Everything from Fresh baked bread from Vinne at Breadwirks to local produce from Dan at Shooting Star Farms, Judd at Wood River Organics and Kurtis at Waterwheel Gardens. Laura at Blue Sage Farms makes the most incredible sheep’s milk cheese you have ever had and she is in Shoshone. A sustainable community is one that resembles a living system where all of the resources (human, natural and economic) are renewed and in balance for perpetuity. If you do not know who your farmer is please take the opportunity to go to these markets and get to know them. It is with this personal connection with the individual that is growing the food that you are enjoying that you can understand the passion that these individuals have for what they do. Helping people enjoy the fruits of their labor. We do this at the WRSC by supporting the vendors at the Farmer’s Market year-round in our store. Eating seasonally for some can be a challenge. But, there are many options. Appreciating the hard work of our friends just south of the valley in Twin Falls along with our local farmers that are using geothermal and passive solar greenhouses extends what seasonally means to us. There is an incredible company in Buhl, The Idaho Fruit Company, that is growing meyer lemons and grapefruit along with figs and cherries through a geothermal greenhouse. Enjoy foods from all of these farmers that are working hard to raise produce and various meats in a healthy non GMO and sustainable manor. We, at the WRSC, are committed to local food and education on gardening, preserving and cooking. We provide gardening supplies, including appropriate seeds for our climate, seedlings produced locally, and compost. We offer monthly Farm to Table Dinners and cooking classes to learn more about eating Local and Seasonally. We are open Tuesday thru Friday 12 to 6pm and Saturday from 10 to 4pm.

habitat for non-humanity

‘The Grass Is Always Greener…’ BY BALI SZABO

here’s a lot of pavement in the U.S. Interestingly, we have more trees and greenery now than we had in the 19th century. This is another facet of the human sprawl/natural interface, just like with wildfire risk. It comes at a cost. As we expand our trees and shrubbery and shrink native habitats, what’s a moose, deer, squirrel, raccoon, fox, bear, cougar or goose to do? Graze, like a millennial at a trendy eatery. We may love animals, but many can soon get to hate them, like a bad marriage. The animals can spread Lyme disease, feast on crops and azaleas and, because of global warming, stick around and not migrate (geese). Their droppings become a problem! These are the cries of the genteel, who conveniently ignore the toxic carnage humanity imposes on the natural world. Once again, we are conflicted. Domesticated animals can also be a threat to shrubbery. The owner/developer of the vacant lots between the Habitat and the suburban-style enclaves

of Northstar/Angela Drive decided to use goats to get rid of the weeds. Clover, toadflax, cheatgrass, knapweed and Russian thistle dominate the tract mixed with wildflowers. There’s sage, desert parsley, pentsemon, native grasses and lots of flax, as natural Idaho tries to reclaim the land it has lost to the bulldozer and dollar-fueled dreams. The goats came, and they conquered. They made quick work of the first lot. Fenced in and left unattended the next day, with nothing to eat yet surrounded by a sea of green, they rebelled like a Brazilian favela, broke through the fence and entered the tasty paradise of well-tended properties in every direction. We had 100 ravenous goats at a buffet. They hadn’t eaten for 18 hours, so it was party time. Because they were used to being herded, they were reasonably responsive to shouts. We had an army of two dogs for containment. One was a black and white lap dog with some border collie ancestry, and she

charged into the fray like the Greek Achilles looking for Hector. And then there was Pearl, a black-Lab-type incessant barker who could finally put her talents to work. With an assist from her owner who had a large vegetable garden, she barked and she charged and we pushed back the horde. They had plenty to eat elsewhere, at least for a time, before they invaded the fiefdoms of the gentrified and lit up the phones of city hall. It was high noon at the gates. I called city hall and they referred me to the Blaine County Recreation District (578-2273) who manages the herds. They arrived quickly and restored peace to the kingdom. The goats will be here for two more days, in their new pasture, and we’ll be watching, wary of another breakthrough. Spring is a happy time. After last summer’s fires we needed a lift, and Kaitlyn Farrington came home to the Valley with an Olympic gold medal. On Saturday, May 31 we tasted glory again, this time the glory of freedom. Bowe Bergdahl will forever remind us never to take our freedoms for granted. Welcome home, Bowe, once you escape the ‘friendly fire’ detention of your own government. tws

LITTLE BLACK DRESS CLUB STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

Members of the Little Black Dress Club learned last week just how much leverage the money they donate to non-profits in the Valley has. Molly Goodyear said the Environmental Resource Center was able to educate preschoolers last year with $750 the organization received from the group. “That’s not a lot of money, but it went a long way,” she said. The Wood River Valley’s Little Black Dress Club was founded five years ago by Lynn Campion-Waddell, Mary Jo Helmeke, Rain McDonald, Erin Pfaeffle, Tricia Swartling, Diane Barker, Teresa Espedal, Peggy Goldwyn, Susie Quesnel, Liz Schwerdtle and others to introduce young women to philanthropy and to help create positive change in the community. Each member donates a minimum of $300 a year. Pooled donations go to non-profit endeavors members decide they want to fund. Organizations applying for a grant have to have a budget under $1 million, said Tricia Swartling. “So, we’re helping grassroots organizations,” she added.

Summertime In The Valley N oxious weeds are very prolific and, because of that, just about everyone will have the opportunity to deal with them on their property at least once. So what should you do if you believe you have noxious weeds? First, congratulate yourself on being awesome and staying aware of what’s growing on your property. Second, identify the plant. The Blaine County Weed Department (BCWD) can help you with this if you would like to bring a photo or sample of the plant to our office (we’re located in the Blaine County Annex building). Once the plant has been identified as a noxious weed, we can help you put together a management plan. The BCWD utilizes a variety of tools in the fight against noxious weeds—the spraying of herbicides, pulling, mowing, environmental factors and biocontrol

can all be used to combat noxious species. The method of control will depend on the plant and where it is located. Sometimes a large field can be controlled with bugs or disking, and sometimes a small yard responds best to spot spraying with an herbicide. One thing to keep in mind is that weeds like spotted knapweed and Dalmatian toadflax can still flower and reproduce after being pulled, so PLEASE pull, bag and tie noxious weeds as opposed to leaving them lying on the ground. It may take a season or two, but with consistency, noxious weeds will respond to

Thank you BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

att Gorby and I would like to thank all of you folks who appreciated the debut of The Blatant County News last week. The response has been overwhelming; I believe it’s because we’ve been bombarded by so much bad news in the last few weeks. It was a time to laugh again in the Wood River Valley and we all did just that. Our gratitude goes out to Steve Johnston and the staff of The Weekly Sun who gave us the opportunity—thank you for your good thoughts and praise. We’ll be out next month and are already working on the next edition. Wouldn’t it be great if the City of Hailey celebrates its wonderful citizens on June 28th in lieu of the Bergdahl news and haters around the country? Hailey has been given a raw deal by just support-

ing one of their own. It’s time we lifted up our heads and show the world who we are. In other news, Roland Thunder of Hailey cut his back lawn in three-and-ahalf-minutes flat Saturday with his new 450-horsepower mower. An appreciative crowd (four adults, two children and a wino) looked on with awe. A herd of moose and a mountain lion were spotted having lunch at Mahoney’s on the back deck on Sunday afternoon. The ribs went quickly and a new record for beer consumption pleased the management who served the wildlife in heavy armor. “Hey, as long as they behave themselves, I think we should welcome them back anytime,” said an unnamed kitchen employee. A group of concerned citizens from Ketchum gathered at the bike trail by the old bridge behind Reinheimer

Ranch. The theme of the meeting was a demand to return the railroad tracks and build them over the bike lane. Citing a concern on the traffic jams of the last few weeks, the citizens explained that passenger trains would cut the time driving between Ketchum and Hailey in rush hour from an hour and a half to 10 minutes while having a cocktail in the club car. Carole King volunteered to play on the opening trip. “Gladly,” the cross-eyed bear, was spotted at the Sawtooth National Recreation Area appearing in a three-round bout with public relations director Ed Cannady, originally from Non, Okla. Cannady stated, “Normally, I would be concerned, but in my mind it’s just a Non event.” (More important news next week.) Thanks for listening. Nice talking to you.

The Fault In Our Stars Love Story

Rating:

BY JONATHAN KANE

ll right, I have to admit the messy truth: I bawled like a baby for two hours at the new and very sad teen romance movie, The Fault In Our Stars. Even though you know what you are getting into when you attend, there’s no stopping the tears because this movie is just so well made. It also has a very secret weapon in the stunning performance of its teen lead, Shailene Woodley, who burst on the scene with her incredible performance in The Descendants. Believe me, that was no fluke. With this film she is a lock to wrap up an Oscar nomination and perhaps move to the head of her class in front of other talents like Jennifer Lawrence. What makes her extraordinary is the complete naturalness she brings to the performance, down

to the simplest nuances of just watching her face while she does something as simple as talk on the phone. Less is more and, in her case, less is off the charts. Of course, she is greatly helped by the talents of her co-actor, Ansel Elgort, who, like Woodley, is battling a cancer that could consume him at any time. The story is very familiar to the millions of fans of the novel written by John Green. In this case we also have a superb script by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber and the steady direction of Josh Boone that never lowers into cheap sentimentality. There are four other terrific performances by Willem Dafoe, who Woodley’s character’s dream is to meet (with disastrous results), Laura Dern and Sam Trammell as the realistic parents dealing with the imminent death of their child, and Nat Wolff as the best friend that loses both eyes to cancer. Like I said, you’re in for a tough ride, so bring plenty of hankies! tws

traighten your Stetson, batten down your kerchief and dust off your cowboy boots. Girls, Guns and Glory is about to ride into town. The four-piece Boston-based country-Western band will kick off the free Ketch’em Alive concert series on Tuesday with its blend of early rock ’n‘ roll, country and rhythm and blues. The concerts will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays in Ketchum’s Forest Service Park at First and Washington streets. Down south in Bellevue, Mahoney’s Bar and Grill is gearing up for a summer concert series that includes Tony Furtado, a banjo and slide guitar player from Portland, Ore., who has won a pair of National Bluegrass Banjo Championships. Summer is heating up, and with it the free vibes in the Wood River Valley. Everything from country-Western to reggae and Irish rock will be paraded across the stages as Ketch’em Alive, Mahoney’s, The Wicked Spud and other concert venues crank up the volume. Will Caldwell, who organizes the three free Ketchum concert lineups, said he has been trying to ensure that Ketch’em Alive bands feature women. “I want young girls to see women in the band. I don’t want them to think women don’t make music. Also, I like the diversity that women provide. And they have wonderful voices,” he said. The Jazz in the Park that Caldwell organizes will feature Jimmy Mitchell, a Latin jazz musician who played at Boca with Jeff Rew. Also, Izzy Taylor, a Wood River High School alum who went off to college and recently made a CD. Mahoney’s Bar and Grill in Bellevue has been offering family-friendly concerts on Thursdays for the past few summers. “We’re kicking this year’s lineup off with Tylor Bushman, a young kid who recently moved to Bellevue from Oregon. He’s kind of a combination of Bob Dylan and other country singers. And we plan to end the season by luring The Kim Stocking Band out of retirement,” said owner Sean Mahoney. Ketch’em Alive kicks off from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday with Girls, Guns and Glory, at Ketchum’s Forest Service Park, First and Washington streets. Girls, Guns and Glory features Chris Hersch, a guitarist who attended the New England Conservatory of Music where he earned a Bachelor of Music degrees in Jazz Guitar Performance, of all things. Then he added banjo and American roots music to his repertoire. Hersch and the band have won the Boston Music Award for Best Americana Act of the year and the French Country Music Award for Independent Artist of the Year. Hersch also was recently voted by American Roots Magazine as the 19th best Roots Guitar Player of the Year and the band garnered 35th on the magazine’s list of Best Bands Right Now. The band, which takes its inspiration from Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and Johnny Ketch’em Alive offers a venue for picnicking and dancing. Horton, has shared bills with the Stone Temple Pilots, James McMurtry, Commander Cody, Bobby Bare and countless others. The Sheep Bridge Jumpers, a new local band, will perform Americana music July 1. The Bobos, a longtime Valley favorite, will perform classic rock covers on July 8; Paper Bird, a Denver indie folk group featuring three female vocalists and a band, will perform July 15; and The Heaters, a longtime Valley favorite dance party rock band, will perform July 22.

Is Now The Time To Buy A Home? BY MARY SFINGI

ith temperatures creeping up and kids free from school obligations, it’s not surprising that home-buying activity heats up during the summer months. And with interest rates still at near-historic lows, renters who have been sitting on the fence may think about taking the plunge and buying their first home. Here are five questions to consider before making the decision: •ARE YOU PLANNING TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF YEARS? If not, you are likely better off renting. It typically costs an extra 2-3 percent of the sales price for loan closing costs when you buy and another 3-6 percent in sales costs when you sell. And while home values usually go up in the long term, we know from recent events that in the short term, home values can decrease. You don’t want to be caught with a home you can’t sell if you need to move. •ARE YOU PLANNING TO KEEP THIS HOME, OR IS IT A STARTER HOME? If this is your dream home, consider financing your purchase with a 15-year mortgage. While your monthly payment will be higher than with a 30-year mortgage, you should be able to get a lower interest rate and have the home paid for in half the time. If you plan on moving, a 30-year mortgage may be a better option. •SHOULD YOU GET PREAPPROVED FOR A MORTGAGE BEFORE YOU START LOOKING? Absolutely. Getting preapproved demonstrates to sellers that you are a serious buyer and you have taken the necessary steps to begin the home-buying process. It may also make the process smoother and quicker once you make an offer. •HOW SHOULD YOU CHOOSE A REAL ESTATE AGENT? When interviewing agents, remember they work for you. Don’t be afraid to ask for referrals and best practices. It can mean the difference between a pleasant buying experience and an unpleasant one. •CAN YOU HANDLE HOMEOWNERSHIP IF YOU HAVE A JOB LOSS? If you are renting at the time of a job loss, it may be easier to move if you rent instead of own. Have an emergency fund to cover your mortgage payments for a few months until you get back on your feet. For more free resources for first-time home buyers, visit www.thehomeownerscafe.com/first. If you make adequate preparations, you will be on your way to moving into your “home sweet home.” Mary Sfingi is a vice president and mortgage loan officer in Zions Bank’s Wood River Valley Financial Center, 291 Washington Ave., Ketchum.

emperatures are returning to normal this week and, subsequently, the fishing should follow. This is not to say the fishing has been bad—quite the contrary. The fishing in the cloudy and sometimes damp weather last week produced a lot of big fish; it just didn’t produce big hatches. Perhaps the colder, windy days will “reset” the season and our hatches will begin coming off a little less early. On Silver Creek this week, we are expecting our first small trico spinner falls mixed with baetis. If you see temperatures getting over the 80- to 85-degree mark, this is a real possibility. The baby hoppers should also begin coming into play on all of our local waters this week. And when we say baby hopper, that means a size 14! That is small for a hopper, but big compared to all the other food the trout are eating. The return to sunshine should also mean a return of stronger PMD action as well as baetis. The mornings are a great time to fish, but for sure this season on Silver Creek the best rising fish action is taking place during the magic hours before dark. The waters across the area continue to fall as river after river comes into shape, ever so slowly. The Big Wood and Upper Lost rivers are fishable in some areas, less so in others. If you go fish, fish with big bushy dry flies and bead-headed nymphs dropped underneath them. The green drake should also begin to show in decent numbers this week as falling water and hot days are the perfect recipe to see this hatch.

this week

WEDNESDAY, 6.18.14

On the other end of the spectrum, we have rising water on the South Fork of the Boise. This is endlessly interesting, as we’ve known what to expect on the South Fork for the last 25 years. This year, we know very little. Not many boaters have been over there yet, as we have zero reports. The forest fires created so many slides into the river that the boating is not at all like it used to be. Those of us that have rowed the river with one eye open for the past few decades have to relearn and pay very close attention to the river now. If you go, take salmon flies, caddis and cicadas, but make sure your first trip is more about safe boating than catching a whole bunch of fish. Get comfortable with the river, then get to fishing!

SUDOKU ANSWER ON PAGE 19

“Bali Ha’i” Beckons BY KAREN BOSSICK

hen “South Pacific” opened on Broadway in 1949, its stand against racial bigotry rocked the country. Southern politicians tried to introduce legislation to outlaw “such communist-inspired works” and Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein threatened to cancel performances at racially segregated theaters in the North unless seating was integrated. The Wood River Valley youngsters who are putting on the musical this week at the Community School Theater wonder what all the fuss was about. “We’ve had some good conversations about this issue and how in this day and age the color of someone’s skin is not necessarily the first thing we notice about them,” said director Kevin Wade. “The kids have had to learn to put themselves in a mindset of the 1940s where that was an issue.” St. Thomas Playhouse’s Summer Theater Project will present “South Pacific” at 7:30 p.m. tonight through Saturday at the Community School Theatre in Sun Valley. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15

for youth ages 13 through 18 and $10 for children 12 and under, available at Iconoclast Books in Ketchum and through Courtesy Photos the St. Thomas Playhouse ticket line at 208-726-5349. Despite the controversy, “South Pacific” was an immediate hit when it premiered, becoming the second-longest-running Broadway musical at that time behind “Oklahoma!” It won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama and 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Libretto. A 2008 Broadway revival won seven more Tonys, including Best Musical Revival. Based on James Michener’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “Tales of the South Pacific,” it involves an American nurse who falls in love with a French plantation owner while stationed on a South Pacific island during World War II. There’s only one problem: his two Polynesian children from a previous marriage. While the nurse struggles with her prejudice, a U.S. lieutenant who has been sent there on a dangerous spy mission wrestles with the social consequences should he marry a Tonkinese woman he has fallen in love with.

The musical features songs that have become popular standards, including “Bali Ha’i,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair,” “Some Enchanted Evening,” “Happy Talk” and “There’s Nothing Like a Dame.” And it’s got the memorable Bloody Mary, a sassy hawker of grass skirts who practically pushes the American lieutenant into her daughter’s arms thinking that her daughter’s only chance at a better life is to marry an American officer. “It features feel-good music of the 1940s that’s fun to choreograph. One of my favorites is ‘There’s Nothing Like a Dame,’ and Peter Burke has choreographed that in a very physical way depicting military men doing their thing while having a good time,” said choreographer Sara Gorby. The cast of 38 features Brooke Allen as Nurse Nellie Forbush; Jamie Moore Wygle, the French plantation owner Emile de Becque; Drew Morse, Lt. Cable; Spencer Pfau, Bloody Mary; and Sam Brown, Luther Billis, an enterprising Seabee who gets thwarted at every turn by Bloody Mary when

he tries to get rich in the souvenir business. “R.L. Rowsey is the musical director and he’s so inspiring—he doesn’t let the energy drop. He sees what the kids are doing, corrects it and keeps things moving forward. And Kevin Wade is a thoughtful director—he’s wicked smart and has reasons for everything they do on stage,” said Gorby. “What’s really cool about this is that it brings kids from three schools together—Community School, Wood River High and The Sage School.” This particular production is focusing not only on the interracial relationships but on the effect of war on people, Gorby said. For some, war is a joke; it has more serious consequences for others. “During the 1940s and ‘50s topics like racial prejudice and the horrible costs of war were taboo. But this play brought them out in the open. Today, we find ourselves dealing with things like same-sex marriage,” she said. “It’s a big story with big issues,” said Wade. “And it’s amazing to see the transformation in these young actors as they learn to articulate the story.”

Wake Up Hailey! STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

he Ellsworth Inn in Hailey has received nearly a dozen cancellations because of the backlash from Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s release in Afghanistan, innkeeper Gabriele Scott Meadows told those attending the monthly Wake Up Hailey event sponsored by the Hailey Chamber of Commerce last

week. But the inn is fighting back with July specials for lady anglers, Meadows added. “I’m having to convince people that it’s okay to come here—there are no riots going on, no one’s running in the streets,” she said. “At the same time, this is one of the most wonderful places on earth to live,” she said, noting the community’s willingness to support the young soldier as he tries to recover from five years in captivity. “It’s really cool to know I live here with good people.” Hailey businesspeople have received some very mean-spirited calls reGabriele Scott Meadows, innkeeper at The Inn at Ellsworth garding the high-profile case.

A truck driver who regularly drives through Hailey said he plans to dump his garbage in the town whenever he comes through. Fortunately, townspeople are beginning to receive more calls of support, with many callers saying that they’re praying for the community, said Kristy Heitzman, membership director for the Hailey Chamber of Commerce. Meadows said she has garnered some nice groups, too, including the Trey McIntyre Dancers who stayed at the Inn over the weekend while putting on a show at Wood River High School. The Inn offers three-course gourmet breakfasts, a computer and printer for customer use, wireless Internet access, DVD player, on-site tennis courts and catering by Silver Fox, Big Belly Deli and Rasberrys. Meadows is currently building a wedding nook covered with flowers. “This is a cool spot for kids’ birthday parties—it has a big yard they can run and scream in,” she added. Laurie Peters, owner of Sun Valley Real Deals, told of how she partners with local merchants to offer specials that consumers can purchase on her site and redeem. Among them: a deal on lodging at Redfish Lodge. A representative for The Senior Connection told how the organization is hosting quarterly luncheons with the community to let them know what’s happening at The Senior Connection. “And you can stop by there for a great lunch anytime,” added Betty Grant. And a representative from the Sun Valley Marketing Alliance told of how business owners who purchase memberships now will get three free months before the membership cycle starts in October. Heitzman reminded attendees of the July Fourth bike criterium that will circle Hailey’s streets following the annual Fourth of July parade. “It’s one of only four bike criteriums in Idaho, so it’ big that we have one here,” she said, noting that Ketchum has one that week, as well. Heitzman also gave a shout out to the Chamber ambassadors who have planted flowers along Hailey’s Main Street. tws “They make our community look amazing!” she said.

Choosing A Dog-Training Style To Fit You And Your Dog BY FRAN JEWELL

oy, talk about confusing! With so much information available to us today, especially with the Internet, it becomes almost impossible to make decisions about how to train your dog. There are many methodologies to choose from, going from one end of the spectrum to the other. In the olden days, the only method involved compulsion or complete force. Today, there is “force-free” and “intimidation-free” training that is totally positive. And, there are training styles that are balanced that take into consideration each dog and its needs and the needs of the owner and don’t try to force every dog into the same training method, regardless of what it is. The upside to Courtesy Photos all these methods is that now you have a choice. The first thing to remember is that YOU have a choice about what methodology works for you. But, in making that choice, you also have to take into consideration who your dog is. If your dog is very soft and fearful, a softer approach might work. On the other hand, if you have a tough dog or breed, an approach that is more black and white might be more appropriate. In any case, realizing that dogs are dogs—and not hu-

mans—is vital. Dogs are dogs and should be honored as the lovely beings they are! So many times, in our human needs to be close to our dogs, we often anthropomorphize them, meaning we humanize them and believe they share feelings the same way we do. While they DO have feelings, they are not humans and don’t think about things the same way we do. In our desperation to be close, we lavish them with love and don’t understand the emotional importance is it for them to DEPEND on you to keep them safe, for them to understand you are their “leader,” and that they can count on you. It is also critical that you express leadership in a manner that your DOG understands— not what we think they should understand from a human perspective. It is also important to understand that some dogs require more leadership than others. In the dog world, dogs speak naturally to each other in a rather black-and-white fashion. They tell each other if they are offended by pushy, invasive, inappropriate behavior of the other dog. Youngsters are often scolded by an older, fair adult that will teach them what is proper and what is not. The important point to understanding this is that dogs give other dogs BOUNDARIES. They are usually very clear in what is

acceptable and what is not. This is leadership among them and it is not always positive or polite in a fashion we humans think they should be. Dogs do not know what is politically correct. This is important when selecting a training style for you and your dog. If your dog is on the shy, reserved or fearful side, a training program needs to be very supportive and positive, but also clear in direction— this behavior is okay, but that behavior is not. How we explain that to the dog is critical in what works for THAT dog, and there are many avenues to take to accomplish that. The same is true for dogs that are always testing the boundaries or exhibit a lot of free-form anxiety. Many times a high-energy dog is really anxious because he is not clear of what is expected of him. Running wildly and even jumping on people can be a way for the dog to express that he is anxious. Many times I see dogs jumping on people, literally saying, “Tell me what to do! Please!” When choosing a training method for your dog, understand that each dog is unique and may require a unique approach. Not all dogs fit into a purely positive method and not all dogs fit into a more compulsive method of training. Sometimes the method is in the middle. But, anyone helping you with training should be helping you become an appropriate leader for YOUR dog, so your dog can trust you and depend on you.

Betts Simon: Living The Classic Sun Valley Life STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

Editor’s note: On Sunday, Elizabeth “Betts” Simon will be one of four women inducted into the Blaine County Historical Museum Heritage Court at The Liberty Theatre. She will be joined by Joyce Edwards, Vivian Bobbitt and Dorothy Ann Outzs.

locals called “the church house” because of its steeple. She and her husband Mitchell Simon thought it would be a great place to raise the children in their blended family, Simon recalled. Here, Simon and her friends frequented the Duchin Room, which then was where Gretchen’s restaurant now is in the Sun Valley Lodge. “At that time there weren’t a lot of places to go in Ketchum and the music and dancing in the Duchin Room was pretty fun,” she said. During the day, Simon played many a hole on Sun Valley’s Trail Creek golf course. “I love the lay of the land, the trees, the river running through it,” she said. “And, of course, the weather is always so good, with lots of sunshine and no clouds.” Simon spends from May to November and the Christmas holidays at her spacious home in Gimlet, where ornamental birdhouses sit on counters and statuesque deer stand outside, occasionally rubbing noses with the real thing. She has given generously to the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, which nominated her to the Blaine County Heritage Court. She’s also active in the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, Wood River Land Trust, Idaho Conservation League and the Sun Valley Ski Club. Her four children and their children, including Bellevue horse owners Skip and Tami Kammer, also keep her busy. “After 64 years here, I still love the mountains, the camaraderie and the peaceMany of the trinkets in Betts Simon’s Gimlet fulness,” she said. home reflect her love for golf and skiing.

Garage Sale, Raffle To Benefit American-To-Haitian Project STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

ust a couple years ago Janis Walton’s life revolved around her church in Bellevue and the vocal lessons she gave to aspiring singers in the Sun Valley Symphony School of Music and Wood River High School. Now, her mind is consumed with Haiti, that Caribbean nation that has been ravaged by political coups, poverty and the 2010 earthquake that the Haitian government claims killed 316,000 people. Janis and her daughter Karli Walton, who teaches piano and works at Iconoclast Books in Ketchum, spent last year taking Haitian students into their home. Now they’re preparing to take 10 college students from Idaho to Haiti where they will collaborate with 10 college students there to produce a musical production for Haitian and American dignitaries next Christmas. Next year they hope to bring the Haitians here to perform. They’ll throw a garage sale Friday and Saturday at the Bellevue Community Church to raise money. They’ll also hold a 50/50 raffle and a gofundme.

com campaign at GoFundMe. com/92hc68. It all started when the two helped out at a church camp where they encountered a family that had taken Haitian students for a month as part of an

exchange. The Waltons agreed to take two students as part of a university exchange. The students—Caleb Joseph and Frantz Francois—attended an English class at College of Southern Idaho, where they worked on English idioms and sang with the Hallelujah Chorus. “They lived with us more than four months—long enough that they

started calling me ‘Mom.’ It was humbling to teach someone to use the washer and dryer— something we take for granted. And I found their joy was so much fun—they’d never seen snow,’” recalled Janis. “I started thinking, Why don’t we do this more?” To put on the concert, the Waltons will have to fly in electronic keyboards and other musical instruments that they cannot rent there. They also hope to take appliances, school supplies and recreational equipment to a local orphanage. Janis also has helped the Haitians secure a $12,500 grant to dig wells that would provide drinking water for 10,000 people. And she’s wired a few hundred dollars to help provide food for families. “It’s humbling—and heart-

breaking—to go to the pantry and see it’s full when there are

some who have none. They have dreams and we’re coming in behind them to help them realize those dreams,” said Janis. “I want to make a difference. I don’t want to play games with my life.” Karli said she hopes to teach music in Haiti: “I have long wanted to move to a Third World country where I can make a difference by performing my music. And they’re so hungry to learn.” The Waltons’ exchange students talked about a dearth of skilled workers and instructors in their country. One, for instance, wanted to be an engineer but was training instead to become an interpreter because he is unable to study engineering in Haiti. Haitians must send welding business to the nearby Dominican Republic because there are so few welders there. “Perhaps they could come here to apprentice in a welding program and we could send them back with welding tools,” Karli said. “That would change not just the person but families and communities. And we could benefit if there was a

community service component involved while they’re here.” tws

The Three Mo’Tenors will perform at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater on Feb. 14 during Black History Month to do a benefit concert for the Haitian college student program. Janis Walton says she needs to raise $35,000 plus expenses for 10 people to make that happen. She needs half in the next month. The Three Mo’Tenors have captivated audiences since 2001 when an original live recording of one of their shows was aired by PBS’s Great Performances. Their shows include nine musical styles spanning 400 years of music, including classical opera.
