J Harpham will be one of more than 140 Idaho artists featured in the Ketchum Arts Festival this weekend at Festival Meadows on Sun Valley Road near Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church. The festival runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The array of artists runs the gamut. It includes silversmith David Anderton, drawing artist Anthony Anderson, painter Blair Blake, woodworker John Beehler, mixed-media artist Scoti Carden, silversmith Lee Drake, jeweler/photographer Sue Dumke, and mixed-media artist Nancy Gervais. There will be free kids’ activities from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. There will also be free live music from noon to 6 p.m. each day, along with a variety of food for sale. Parking is available in the Catholic Church lot from 2 to 6 pm. Friday, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. Street parking will also be available.

Beatles Fans ‘Come Together’ For Fab Show COMING UP

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

arb Vanderpool got to see the Beatles in 1964—the year they took America by storm as they harmonized “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” Her parents made her buy the $4.50 ticket herself, she recalled, grimacing at the horror of it. But it was worth every penny, she quickly added, as she took her place among thousands of screaming teenagers with bouffant hairdos. “I’ll never forget it—the stage was completely ringed by police,” she recounted. “And I’ve been a Beatles fan for 50 years now.” Saturday evening the real estate agent relived that concert as she slid into a second-row seat in the Sun Valley Pavilion for The Fab Four—America’s No. 1 Beatles tribute band. And the imitations of the mop-top lads from Liverpool did not disappoint—Vanderpool did a little screaming, a little singing and a little dancing, pointing her thumbs up in an “It’s fabulous!” sign. But, boy oh boy, there were a lot more songs to have to remember the words to this time around! Every seat was taken in the Pavilion and hundreds more Beatles fans sat out in the lawn, enjoying the concert on the Jumbo-tron screen as the Fab Four coasted through such hits as “Day Tripper” and “Revolution.” Ed Sullivan impersonator Jerry Hoban introduced the band and appeared periodically through the show, poking fun at the TV personality who introduced the Beatles to America. “Thank you, Ringo. My wife wanted me to give you these,

box and I heard ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand,’ ” she recalled. It was too hot for Nehru jackets or even bell-bottom pants. But that didn’t keep 4-year-olds and 80-somethings alike from dancing. “I’m the biggest fan there is,” said Sun Valley ski instructor Drew Merklinghaus, who recalled sitting in front of the TV as he got his first glimpse of the Beatles on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” “There’s no way of explaining the music and emotions behind the Beatles. “I know Christmas songs and I know Beatles’ songs,” said Narda Pitkethly. Marline Rennels recounted how her father had a nervous breakdown when her brother came home from college wearing his hair a little longer because of the Beatles. And 20-year-old Autumn

swayed to the sounds of “Hey Jude” as the two-hour concert wound down. “I can’t get over how much they sounded like the Beatles,”

said one man as he walked out of the Pavilion. “I couldn’t tell any difference.”

The Sun Valley Opera will stage its next concert—An Evening with Soprano Mary Elizabeth Williams— at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 28, 2015, at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church in Sun Valley. The group will present Baritones Unbound at 7:30 p.m. March 7, 2015, at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. And on July 12, 2015, they will present ULTIMI Three Tenors with the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra at the Sun Valley Pavilion.

The Fab Four featured Neil Candelora, Doug Couture, Ron McNeil and Erik Fidel.

as ‘Yesterday’ is her favorite song,” he said, addressing Paul McCartney’s impersonator. The Fab Four, who have spent hundreds of hours learning the Beatles’ accents and mannerisms—including that of playing the bass left-handed, peppered the audience with some light-hearted banter, as well. “What you you talking about?! He is standing up,” said George Harrison’s Doug Couture, referring to the diminutive Ringo Starr played by Erik Fidel. The band encouraged the audience to buy the record albums that Ringo was holding above his drum set. “Sing after me, ‘Hold me. Love me… Eight days a week,’ ” continued John Lennon’s Ron McNeil, as if the audience was hearing the song for the first time. Hailey resident Theora Heckler said she heard the Beatles for the first time as a Pocatello high school student visiting Sun Valley. “A group of kids said, ‘Oooh, it’s the Beatles!’ and they dropped a quarter in the juke-

Partin of Rupert proudly boasted that this was her first concert—“My mom got me ‘Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band’ when I was younger so I got her tickets for this for her birthday. We love the way they sound, the harmonies, the rhythms. They get you dancing.” Sun Valley Opera President Frank Meyer, whose organization presented the concert, noted that the Beatles—the best-selling band in history— often incorporated classical elements in innovative ways. “My dad has us watch ‘Yellow Submarine’ and other Beatles movies all the time,” said 11year old Bryson Sleeper, who was attending the concert with his 10-year-old brother Cameron. “He says it’s common culture. You’re either the Beatles or the Stones, and in our house it’s the Beatles.” John Lennon’s Ron McNeil silenced the crowd as he began singing “Imagine.” Tiny lights bobbed across the pavilion. But this time they were not from Bic lighters but, rather, from cellphones. A few minutes later the crowd

hy are you involved with The Advocates? I’m involved with The Advocates because I want to educate people and our youth about healthy relationships, compassion and what that can look like in our community. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. I know many youth in our Valley have been in or have witnessed an unhealthy relationship. I love working for The Advocates because I can now help educate my friends on what I learn every week. What are some problems youth face in our Valley? Many of the youth in our Valley are experiencing new facets of becoming adults and there are a few challenges we face along our journey. Being a student, I have seen many kids have issues with dating. We are just starting to date and not many of us have an expectation of what we want or deserve in a relationship. Often, teen relationships become possessive, controlling and jealous, and these things are very hard on us. We do not know how to deal with these issues and sometimes we don’t even

know how to recognize them as unhealthy—we just know they make us feel upset, stressed and confused. What can youth do to change this? Lending a hand can be a huge help in any relationship that has been misguided. We are much more likely to listen to our peers than adults, so it’s important that we have the right information to support them. Sometimes an outside perspective is a very balancing one in a relationship because the partners don’t always recognize an unhealthy relationship. Talking about healthy relationships with friends and peers is the most important step. What would you like to see adults do? It is important to many students that adults listen to us and believe us when we reach out to them. Listening and believing causes trust to be built and trust is very important. The youth in our Valley want to be heard and listened to because it makes us feel validated and human. Adults often forget that the youth are people, too.

ick Wright, a graduate of the Community School, is a musician who recently had the experience of singing for his supper when he strutted his stuff as a street musician in Santa Barbara. A guitarist and singer, Wright started taking lessons at 7 years old but gave it up in middle school. In high school he picked things back up and played in a band of friends called What Color is Your Parachute? He also started singing in school theater productions and spent time jamming with other musicians in garages. “There’s no limit to

“There’s no limit to how far you can go with music,” he said. “You can always keep getting better at it.” how far you can go with music,” he said. “You can always keep getting better at it.” His preference is for classic rock. “My favorites are Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Eric Clapton and Steely Dan, mostly because of the great music that they make. I’m not really sure if I’ll be making music as a career but I’ll always do it as a hobby or for fun.” Wright got a little taste of a career in music when he

worked as a street musician for four weeks in Santa Barbara for his senior project. “I have a lot of family there so thankfully I had a place to stay. For my project I wanted to do something with music and thought about interning at a studio. But as a street musician I didn’t need anyone else and I could do it by myself. The idea behind it was to see if I could make enough to survive. And it pretty much worked out except for some days when I had to go to my backup fund.” Basically, he played the guitar and sang. “My best day I made $70. I had a large crowd of students from Chicago as an audience and they were very appreciative. I set up shop in front of a Marshall’s consignment store, which was a great spot with a lot of pedestrian traffic. It was in the center of town and there was a wall for people to sit on and a bus stop and a lot of people would stop right there and sit down and listen. I was worried about not having a permit but there were no problems. I would play for three hours, which feels a lot longer when you are playing the same songs. My set consisted of a few originals and some Petty and Clapton.” Wright then did a half-hour presentation at the Community School. “I played three songs and talked about the experience and what it was like. The bottom line is that I gained a lot of respect for street musicians. The work is really inconsistent and it would be really stressful if I had to rely on it to pay my bills. But overall it was a tremendous experience except for a little stage fright. It was a little nerve-racking to play original material. But the great thing was that no one heckled me,” Wright said with a laugh. tws

Chrome & Ink As Art BY KAREN BOSSICK

nk meets asphalt. It’s Gary Lipton’s version of fine art. Lipton is showing off local photographer Paulette Phlipot’s colorful portraits of tattoos, along with custom-designed motorcycles, that have won a myriad of best of shows. And Phlipot will be there to autograph copies of her tattoo portraits from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday during Gallery Walk. “I’m having fun,” said Lipton, whose gallery is next to the Coffee Grinder at 411 N. Leadville Ave. “Yes, these are motorcycles, but they’re also art. And the tattoos just seemed to go hand in hand.” Lipton, a fine art collector, cut his teeth on candy apple flake paint and chrome growing up in Detroit, the motor car capitol of the world. He got a Yamaha 750 as soon as he turned 16 and

followed that up with a Norton Commando and Triumph. After his kids headed for college, he jumped back into the motorcycle world, commissioning two customized bobbers— custom motorcycles that have had their front fender removed, the rear fender made smaller, and all superfluous parts removed to reduce weight. Lipton has a pile of papers an inch high detailing all the press and awards the two have garnered. One—The Penthouse Bike— won the 2006 Biker Build-off put on by Penthouse and Biker magazines at Sturgis, S.D. In 2007 Lipton commissioned Steve Broyles, Sr., the award-winning founder of Stevenson’s Cycle, in Wayne, Mich., to create the other—a royal-blue custom-bobber motorcycle resembling a classic Schwinn cruiser bicycle. Taking nearly two years, Broyles designed a frame

similar to that of the cruiser bike and put an American Flyer neck tag on it. He used his signature split rocker for the shovelhead and a 360 brake for a clean front-end look. He finished it off with a 6-speed torque box transmission and a porthole glass oil tank. The Stevenson’s Cycle GL Special won the 2009 Canadian National Cup Championships Motorcycle Show, earning Broyles a cool $12,000 and a 6-foot trophy. It took ninth place out of 200 bikes at the Ultimate Builder Lipton Fine Arts Owner Gary Lipton thought it would Custom Bike Show “be fun” to exhibit photos of local residents’ tattoos along with his custom motorcycles.

Roads Kill BY BALI SZABO

I’ve written about the many dangers migratory birds face and, year after year, the journey’s perils mount. Even when they manage to arrive safely, a big danger awaits both the traveler and the resident bird—cars and trucks. A recent study in the Journal of Wildlife Management by researcher Scott Loss stated that as many as 340 million birds die on our roads every year, much more than previously thought (80 million). Wind-powered turbines kill around 500,000. Only cats and collisions with buildings kill more.

High speed limits, wider roads and, in some places, high bird populations, create kill zones. Ironically, some of these areas are in wildlife refuges. Here’s the National Geographic’s positive spin on this problem: “From Everglade trails, along farmland back roads, even by busy highways… Visitors can view free-roaming species of Florida’s rich birdlife.” They could have added, ’plastered on your windshield.’ The Everglades Parkway (Alligator Alley) crosses the Big Cypress National Preserve, and Route 41 (National Flag Highway) crosses it in the south. It’s the main drag between Miami and Fort Myers. Granted, most of the birds killed are sparrows and warblers. A driver may not even notice killing these small birds. Other inhabitants are the barred owl, hawks, the bald eagle, ibises, the roseate spoonbill, herons, egrets, pelicans, flamingos, ospreys, cormorants and, of course, lots of songbirds. The barn owl, found in southern Idaho and some

neighboring states, is really threatened, at least here. They accounted for a large proportion of deaths in certain areas. Kansas State University’s Dr. Than Boves, who did the owl study, estimated that about 1500 barn owls die every year along Idaho’s 150-mile stretch of I-84. This death rate will wipe them out here. Powerful headlights either blind or mesmerize them. Unlike most nocturnal owls, barn owls hunt on the fly and are more vulnerable to night collisions. One day Boves collected 100 dead owls, all healthy specimens, who just couldn’t dodge high-speed traffic.

in 2011. It also made the cover of “Biker Magazine” in 2010. “The bikes speak for themselves. I don’t need to say more,” said Lipton, who also is showing restored 1960 and 1962 Honda 50s. To accompany the bikes, Lipton asked Phlipot, who has won awards for her food photographs, to do tattoos. F-Stop did the printing. “I go to coffee stores and see baristas with tattoos, customers with tattoos… I thought it would be fun to take photos of peoples’ private tattoos and have an exhibition using skin as the canvas. I approached Paulette, who will have a solo exhibition of her work at my gallery later this year, to do it. Phlipot found five willing models—all Wood River Valley residents—through word of mouth. She took them into her Ketchum studio and turned on the lights. “Magic kind of happened,” she says, as she focused her lens on the tattoos juxtaposed with the body. “I stepped out of my comfort zone and was super surprised about how much fun I had,” said Phlipot. “I knew nothing about motorcycles or tattoos, but it could not have been more interesting. There are some really beautiful ones out there and there are interesting stories about some of them, as well. Some of the artists who create tattoos have clearly done a lot of work.”

This is the tragedy of the human/natural world interface.

Canada Thistle: Keep Tabs On Your Neighbor, But Not These Financial Your Friend Milestones As T You Near Retirement financial planning

he start of July has been quite busy for the Blaine County Bug Crew. We have continuously monitored our older sites as well as acquiring new properties invaded by noxious weeds. One of these main weeds is Canada thistle. Though this invasive species may be peacefully residing in the vacant lot by your house, it is only a matter of time before it comes knocking on your door. Canada thistle is an aggressive, colony-forming perennial weed that produces by seed and deep, extensive, horizontal roots. Flowering occurs from June through August. The flowers are urn-shaped, purple (sometimes white), and male and female flowers occur on separate plants ranging from 1/2- to 3/4-inch in diameter. Fruits are about 1/8-inch long and brownish, with a tuft of hairs at the top. Stems are 1 to 4 feet tall with spinytipped irregular lobes. Canada thistle is a native of southeastern Eurasia and was introduced to Canada as a contaminant of crop seed in the 18th century. It can commonly be found in gardens, flower beds, pastures, cultivated fields, rangelands, forests, and along riverbanks, ditches and road sides. Canada thistle can tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions, but requires a good light intensity for optimal growth. It is highly competitive with crops and, in heavy concentrations, effectively prevents grazing. A number of accidentally introduced insects attack Canada thistle; however, only two insects

are approved for release—Urophora cardui and Ceutorhynchus litura (CELI). CELI is a biological control agent that attacks Canada thistle stems and rosettes. Adults feed on rosette leaf foliage in the spring, and larvae consume tissue while mining within the shoots. At low densities, larval and adult feeding does not significantly impact populations of Canada thistle directly. Feeding does cause secondary damage, however, as pathogens and other organisms enter the stems of Canada thistle via holes made by exiting larvae. At high densities, feeding by CELI will reduce the vigor of both rosettes and flowering stems to the point of deterioration. Overwintering weevils emerge from soil litter and feed on leaf and stem tissue in early spring. Eggs are laid in spring within Canada thistle’s bolting shoots, with hatching larvae mining in the stems and root crowns of Canada thistle throughout spring and summer. Multiple larvae (up to 20) can be found in individual stems. Mature larvae tunnel out of the stems, and then drop to the soil surface, and pupate in the soil. Adults of the new generation emerge in August and overwinter in soil litter. There is one generation per year. The weevil does best in open but moist areas with

scattered Canada thistle plants. As we monitor this noxious weed and its predator, we focus on vegetation and if the population of the bugs is accurate as to the invasion of the noxious weed. Due to our efforts as the Blaine County Bug Crew, in cooperation with the Blaine County Noxious Weed Department, we have relieved many areas of this pesky intruder. We continue to distribute these insects to decimate the population of Canada thistle within Blaine County. If you stumble across this unwanted neighbor, please contact the Blaine County Noxious Weed Department at 788-5516 and ask for Bronwyn Nickel. If the site is free from farming, grazing, spraying, and any other human disturbance, the Blaine County Bug Crew may be able to establish a biological control site. Please help us rid Blaine County of Canada thistle to keep this county native and free.

s you approach 50, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with some important financial milestones that can impact your retirement plans. Here are a few significant items to keep in mind. In your 50s:

This column is brought to you by Blaine County Weed Management.

Noxious weeds are a growing problem-do your part! Pull and report.

Do you wish you could save more in your retirement plan? Good news: starting at age 50, you can bolster your savings by making “catch-up” contributions to your 401(k) or IRA. If you’re at least 50 years old and have a 401(k), you can sock away an additional $5,500 in 2014, for a total maximum contribution of $23,000. If you have a traditional or Roth IRA, you can kick in an extra $1,000, up to a maximum contribution of $6,500. If you participate in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, you’ll gain a little flexibility at age 55. If you reach age 55 by December 31 in the year in which you terminate your employment, you can make penalty-free withdrawals paid directly to you from the plan with 20 percent federal tax withheld. Conversely, while some exceptions may apply, you typically won’t be able to make penalty-free withdrawals from IRAs until age 59 ½. For this reason, if you are considering retiring and are under age 59 ½, you may want to postpone rolling your 401(k) dollars into an IRA. In your 60s: Starting at age 62, you will be eligible to begin taking Social Security benefits. While this is the earliest age at which you can start receiving Social Security, you may find it worthwhile to delay your benefits. That’s because the amount of benefit you receive depends on when you begin taking benefits in relation to your full retirement age, which can range from 66 to 67, depending on the year in which you were born. Taking your benefits before reaching full retirement age will result in a permanent reduction in the amount of benefit you receive. On the other hand, if you delay your benefits until after reaching full retirement age, you may be eligible for delayed retirement credits that would increase your monthly benefit. Overall, taking

Social Security may be beneficial for those no longer working, so your particular situation will dictate what’s best for you. At age 65, you will qualify for Medicare, provided you or your spouse has worked long enough to be eligible for Social Security. You’ll also be eligible to make withdrawals from a health savings account for non-medical purposes without having to pay a 20 percent penalty. You will still, however, have to pay taxes on the withdrawals. In your 70s: If you own a traditional IRA, age 70 ½ is particularly notable. After age 70 ½, you’ll be required to withdraw a portion of your IRA assets each year before December 31 to satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). Failure to do so will result in a 50 percent penalty on the amount not distributed as required. Roth IRAs, on the other hand, are not subject to mandatory distributions at any age. With an employer-sponsored plan, you typically will not be required to take minimum distributions until retirement if you’re still working at age 70 ½. Also, at age 70 ½, you will no longer be able to contribute to a traditional IRA. You can, however, continue to make contributions to a Roth IRA, provided you have earned income. For assistance in preparing for these financial milestones, contact your financial advisor today.

WREP And Sun Valley Economic Development Merge

Wood River Economic Partnership (WREP) and Sun Valley Economic Development (SVED) have decided to consolidate forces. A recent news release from the WREP board of directors said the two local nonprofits have joined to better promote economic vitality, diversity and quality of place throughout Blaine County. “SVED’s private sector board of 9 will expand to 13,” states the release. The majority of the new board by coincidence, will be people who were already WREP members and/or WREP directors. WREP’s executive director [Doug Brown] will become director of membership for SVED. His first order of business will be to educate current WREP members of the mission and activities of SVED and ask them to transfer membership. Many long-time WREP members have already signed up to support SVED.”

Soulshine Lights Up Warm Night STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

ichael Franti brought his message of love and tolerance to Sun Valley last weekend, delivering it through a medley of Caribbean and African rhythms.

tour was the opening act in the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ Summer Concert Series. Hundreds of people, some sporting tie-dye and dreadlocks, took their place on the

lawn outside River Run Lodge, covering nearly every patch of green up to where the weeds grow on Lower River Run. There was no need for a defibrillator—the boom from Franti’s opening salvo was so forceful it would have knocked those on the front row off their feet had they not been hemmed in by other dancers. The vibes were forceful enough that even those halfway back could feel the vibes pulsing through their bodies. The concert attracted a group from Texas, as well as plenty of people from Boise and Twin Falls looking to escape the “boiling heat” that had driven the thermometers close to 100 in the Magic and Treasure valleys. Robby Washington, a Left: Michael Franti says people’s mission in life is to “be yourself and embrace the diversity of others.”

former Boise State football player who now caters barbecue in the Sun Valley area through Dubbs Grubb Catering, captured the concert with his cellphone. “My friends couldn’t make it, so I’m capturing the whole thing for them,” he said. Ketchum resident Tova Gordon joined the dancers up front. “I’d rather be here than hear it from my house and wish I was here,” Gordon said. The concert series will continue on Sunday, July 27, with Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band. Country singer Chris Isaak will perform Wednesday, Aug. 6. And The Head and The Heart, an indie folk rock band from Seattle, will close out the series on Friday, Aug. 29. Information: sunvalleySpearhead’s guitarist had a workout on the Sun center.org tws Valley stage last Wednesday night.

Jessica Soine of Sun Valley and her sister Monika Soine of Denver donned wings on their heads for the concert.

JON RATED THIS MOVIE BY JONATHAN KANE

hef, the new movie starring Jon Favreau, which he also wrote and directed, is a tasty stew. It certainly is a surprise, as the creator of the challenging Swingers and Made has toiled exclusively on big-budget mass entertainment like Iron Man I and 2. Made Chef is really a career metaphor for himself? The story is about an extremely talented and creative cook that is stuck in a rut turning out ‘his hits.’ When he gets into an argument about it with the restaurant’s owner, Dustin Hoffman, and then is lambasted by a food critic, Oliver Platt, for those unimaginative ‘hits,’ he is turned loose— broke and shattered on a professional as well as personal level. His relationship with his 10-year-old son is distant at best. His salvation comes in a push from his wealthy ex-wife, Sofia Vergara, to take an old food truck in Miami off her ex-husband’s hands, an excellent Robert Downey, Jr. What Favreau discovers in turn is his passion for cooking and for life itself. In an excellent road trip, he tours Austin and New Orleans with the help of his son, played beautifully by Emjay Anthony, and best buddy John Leguizamo. In store for him back in L.A. is a twist that no one can foresee. What makes the film so effective is that it is an honest-to-goodness, feel-good story. Favreau doesn’t pander to the audience and he doesn’t reach for clichés. The father-son dynamic is intensely real and the emotions that arise in us are real as well. Add to that a terrific supporting cast and a great script and you have a can’t-miss film. tws

Why We Need Detox BY JODY STANISLAW

he word ‘detox’ usually refers to the process of coming off of drugs or alcohol. But in today’s world—with synthetic chemicals sprayed on our food, used in “cleaning” products, present on furniture and found in many other places—we all have unwanted chemicals circulating in our bodies. Thus, we all could benefit from experiencing a different kind of detox, because those chemicals are taking a toll on our health, whether we notice it, yet, or not. Toxins are in our air and in our water, and they aren’t just outside. The EPA states that the air in American homes is 70 times more polluted than outdoor air due to household cleaners and vapors leaching out from chemicals such as fire retardants in furniture, mattresses and carpets. Chemicals in personal products such as fragrances, shampoos, toothpastes and laundry soaps are culprits too. Sixty million pounds of pesticides are applied to U.S. crops annually, a percentage of which ends up in our bodies. As a result, we all live with unwanted toxins in our bodies that can stop many of us from feeling great and, for some, cause illness. The challenge with illnesses caused by toxicities is that they are hard to diagnose. Toxins are not attracted to one particular area of the body; they usually have a subtle, deleterious effect throughout. Some who suffer from symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, depression and lack of concentration have shown improvement after taking steps to detoxify their bodies. What can we do to decrease this toxic burden on our bodies? The first step is to reduce putting toxins into our bodies in the first place. The two easiest and most effective places to begin are with our diets and our homes.

2) Choose natural cleaning products. Avoid scented candles and air fresheners. Read the labels of body products, especially soaps and lotions. The skin absorbs everything it comes into contact with and gives a direct

route into the blood stream, so be aware of topical products, especially sunscreens. Check out www.ewg.org for the safest body products. 3) Eat more fiber, such as a daily dose of vegetables and fruits. Fiber binds toxins to help eliminate them from the body. 4) Sweating has been proven to be one of the most effective ways to release unwanted chemicals from the body, whether via exercise or a sauna.

5) I strongly encourage my patients to do a detox cleanse. My simple program consists of a five-day modified eating plan, plus supplementation proven to bind chemicals and release them from the body. Those who do the cleanse will enjoy more energy, clearer thinking, improved moods, faster workout recovery times, deeper sleep and will feel better overall.

Toni’s also donated free ice cream to promote the cause of Democrats. The wind toppled the sail on The Toy Store’s pirate ship.

Free Vibes BY KAREN BOSSICK

t’s as difficult to pin Paper Bird down as it would be to hold a real bird in your hand. After all, this seven-piece indie band from Denver, Colo., plays not only folk and pop but… baroque?!!! You can see the mix of music for yourself when they play the free Ketch’em Alive concert from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday at Ketchum’s Forest Service Park, First and Washington streets. Formed in 2006, the band features three female lead vocals, which allows the group to project a velvety multi-layered harmony. The harmonic convergers include sisters Genny and Esme Patterson, along with brother and sister Mark and Sarah Anderson, guitarist Paul DeHaven and banjo player Caleb Summeril. Framing their music with guitar, banjo, upright bass and drums, Paper Bird often plays in odd meters, such as seven-beat and five-beat. This has garnered them features on NPR’s “All Things Considered” and in “The New York Times.” The group has recorded several albums, including “Anything Nameless and Joymaking,” which is a top-selling record in Colorado. They’ve been named one of the Top Ten best bands by “The Denver Post.” They’ve also had some unique ventures, including that of composing music for Ballet Nouveau Colorado. And they’ve played to sellout audiences from New York City to the High Sierra Music Festival. “Several locals have told me they have their CD and love it,” said Will Caldwell, who organizes Ketch’em Alive concerts.

the way i see it

Music ’n‘ Me rockers will serve as the warm-up act from 7 to 7:30 p.m. Here’s a look at the free vibes this coming week: Tonight—Dog House will play on behalf of the Bellevue Public Library from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Wicked Wednesday concert at The Wicked Spud in Hailey. Slaughter Daughters & Half a Flask will perform their acid hillbilly jamboree at 9 p.m. at Sun Valley Brewery in Hailey. The Sawtooth Botanical Garden will feature Mark Muller as part of its Wine Down Wednesdays. Muller grew up in Spring, Texas, where he got his love of music from his father. He honed his performances as a singer/songwriter while attending college in Minnesota and now performs his folk, classic rock and country roots in Sun Valley. Thursday—Orphelia from Boise performs at Mahoney’s Bar and Grill in Bellevue from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Orphelia’s style of writing has been compared to the Dance Hall Crashers and the vintage Andrews Sisters. Their song “Summer Nights” was added to the Boise 150 Music Compilation. Reggae in the Mountains featuring Don Carlos and other acts invades Ketchum Town Square from 4 to 10 p.m., displacing the usual free Town Square Tunes. Tickets are $20 through today at voluptatum-74144.ticketbud. com/mountain-niceness-productions-presents-rock-n-reggae. They’re $25 at the gate. Sunday—Kevin Kirk’s Onomatopoeia, a nine-piece band from Boise, plays from 6 to 8 p.m. at Jazz in the Park. The concert is at Ketchum’s Rotary Park at Warm Springs and Saddle roads. Tuesday—Ketch’em Alive features Paper Bird and opening act from Music ’n‘ Me.

Fourth Of July Musings BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

love a parade, the beat of the drum, the smell of the crowd, and families and friends having fun. I’ll admit that fireworks are thrilling to watch and are definitely part of the Independence Day celebration. I like them when they are controlled and not sold to the general public. Amateurs should not be allowed to get anywhere near them. It’s a real blueprint for disaster. It’s summertime with drought conditions in central Idaho. Have we forgotten about last year’s threat to Hailey and to Ketchum in 2007? It’s the fire season, folks, and irresponsible people can easily get their hands on any fire-producing gadgets and toys. Anyone who has suffered through a forest fire—and that includes practically everyone in the Wood River Valley—knows the horror of what could happen to your home and family. Thank the Lord we had firefighting professionals on hand to stem the disasters of the past few years. We were very lucky. So, when I see some inebriated locals acting irresponsibly with fire, it makes me shake my head with disgust. Who cares if you have some powerful fireworks so that you can brag to your friends on what huge blasts you can produce? You are still an amateur and bad things can happen. Let the professionals set off the fireworks displays as you would allow the professional firefighters to do their jobs. We’ve got to stop the madness. Hotdogs and barbecues never tasted better when consumed by responsible people, and the joy of the rodeo and all its thrills were greatly appreciated. We should just eat and watch the activities and feel safe during the celebration of the birth of our wonderful country. There has been such sadness generated in all of our wars. Why must we replicate the sounds and sights again to prove that we are good Americans? I hope all of you had a safe and sane Fourth of July. I did, but I just had to get this off my chest. Life is too short and I don’t want to lose any more friends. This is my 73rd summer. I enjoy being alive. I want you to, as well. Nice talking to you. tws

Fireworks Start Blaze Near Hailey BY BRENNAN REGO

n 18-year-old “local resident” has confessed to starting a fire that has burned over 700 acres of land in Croy Canyon, about three miles west of downtown Hailey, according to Blaine County Sheriff Gene Ramsey. “We know this was human caused,” he said at a press conference on Monday evening at the Blaine County Public Safety Facility in Hailey. Ramsey said the “suspect” has not yet been charged with a civil or criminal offense and has not been arrested, but that the he did admit to setting off fireworks in the area on Sunday evening, which started the fire. Ramsay said the investigation is “ongoing” and would likely fall under Bureau of Land Management (BLM) jurisdiction. “In order to charge someone, you need to prove intent,” he said in an interview on Tuesday afternoon. BLM Twin Falls District Public Information Officer Kelsey Dehoney in an interview on Tuesday afternoon reiterated Ramsey’s comments concerning the investigation and declined to comment further. Dehoney did say that Incident Commander Chris O’Donnell, with the BLM, was “optimistic” about the fire as of press deadline on Tuesday. “At this point, there’s no active fire,” she said. Complete containment of the fire is expected on Wednesday at about 8 p.m. and control is expected on Thursday at about 8 p.m., according to Dehoney. “Containment means that there’s a containment line all the way around the perimeter of the fire, it shouldn’t progress outside that line,” she said. “Control is when we feel comfortable enough to leave the fire, to say that the fire is not going to start burning again.”

The fire had not damaged any structures or injured any firefighters as of press deadline on Tuesday. “Everybody’s safe and they did a really great job,” Dehoney said.

heading east toward Hailey. “We requested additional resources,” he said. Firefighting crews soon arrived from the Bellevue, Carey, Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley Fire

Wood River Fire & Rescue Chief Bart Lassman said in an interview on Monday morning at the Incident Command Post (ICP), located in Croy Canyon near Colorado Gulch Road, that a passerby reported the fire on Sunday evening, at about 6:30 p.m., shortly after it was started. Lassman said Wood River Fire & Rescue responded with a few engines and that the fire had burned about one-half acre at that time, moving up the hills on the south side of Croy Creek Road, west of Colorado Gulch Road, and

On Monday afternoon, residences in Croy Canyon and some businesses in Hailey lost power. The outage was due to the fire burning some power poles, Idaho Power representatives said. On Monday at about 12:15 a.m., residents of Croesus Creek were ordered to evacuate the area. On Monday at about 2 p.m., residents of Rodeo Drive were ordered to evacuate. On Monday at about 4:15 p.m., all mandatory evacuations were lifted. Ramsey said at the press conference that, as this is the start of fire season, people should be reminded that they must maintain situational awareness during any fire and should leave immediately, not wait for evacuation orders, if they feel they are in imminent danger. “We have a long [fire] season ahead of us,” he said. “We want to ensure that everyone understands what to do in situations such as the Colorado Gulch Fire.”

Sunday proved to be a long night of structure protection and that some firefighters had been at the scene for over 14 hours. The fire crossed Colorado Gulch Road at about 9 p.m. on Sunday, he said. The fire reached the lawn of a house located at 121 Colorado Gulch Road and came dangerously close to several others. “The guys made an aggressive stop protecting that house,” he said. Lassman said air support was called in on Monday, including a DC10 VLAT, or “Very Large Air Tanker”, two helicopters and two other airplanes.

Baker & Norton Lake Trails Reopen Trail, Barr Gulch Trail, upper Meadows Creek Trail, Middle Fork Warm Springs Trail and Ridgeline Trail in the Warm Springs area remain closed for now. Even as he talked about trail openings following the Beaver Creek Fire, a new fire had been spotted near the Hell Roaring Lake Trail 12 miles south of Stanley. When Nelson took the call shortly after noon on July Fourth, it was only three acres. But firefighters on the ground told him they needed backup. By Sunday, the fire had grown to 320 acres, forcing the evacuation of about 20 campers in the area and creating smoky conditions in the area at night. Four helicopters, four engines and 170 firefighters were able to achieve 90 percent containment Sunday evening, with full containment expected Monday evening.

he Ketchum Ranger District opened the popular trails to Baker Lake and Norton Lakes last Wednesday—just in time for the busy Fourth of July weekend. And tourists with license plates from Utah, Washington, Colorado and Wyoming took advantage of it, stirring dust as they drove along the dusty Baker Creek Road that had been reclaimed from mudslides that took place after last August’s Beaver Creek Fire. “The guys worked their butts off to get that area reopened,” said District Ranger Kurt Nelson. Those venturing into the area found snow to slide on in the Lost Lake area above the Norton Lakes. And they had to walk through charred forest to get to Baker Lake, although the area right around the lake looked almost as it did before. However, Baker Creek Road, which the Forest Service had manicured and oiled into the best shape it had ever been last summer, sports hundreds of tiny pointy rocks that flattened

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JULY 9 FROM PICABO ANGLER

he heat persists in the Sun Valley area, but thus far it has really had little effect on the fishing. There is a lot to do out there, and now is a great time to get out and catch a few while water levels are advantageous. Silver Creek is increasingly becoming a low-light fishing area; without a doubt, the best fishing is right before dark. The caddis and spinner falls of Baetis, PMD and Callibaetis are getting the fish to the surface. In the mornings, the fishing is also very good and the trico is starting to take center stage. A brief Baetis spinner fall toward the end of the trico action is also keeping fish looking up. In the afternoon, anglers are finding pretty decent Callibaetis fishing on the ponds and sloughs. This year, more than ever, the fish in the pond are relying heavily on midges. This will change as Kilpatrick Pond settles into a rhythm. But for now, the easily adaptive midges are a blessing despite being tricky to imitate. Hoppers are growing quickly and there is no reason not to get out there with some adult patterns on the windy days and search the shady banks and fringes of deeper pools. The Big Wood is in full green drake swing right now, and anglers are having a great time with that hatch. Catch rates and smiles reported by our guides are both large! Once the green drakes are done, expect the Big Wood to also become a morning and evening fishery. This would be a good time to begin filling your fly box with elk hair caddis and rusty spinners. When the water drops to summer lows the rusty spinner can be the best fly you carry! The Dave’s hopper with a nymph dropper beneath it is a great afternoon choice. The South Fork of the Boise River is beginning to get more attention from boaters. Currently, rafts are making it down the big rapid that is located just below the boat ramp, and drift boats are being used cautiously in areas above and below this rapid. If you go, big, foam Stoneflies and Terrestrials like cicadas are good choices. Pink Albert flies are also a must have for your fly box anytime you visit the South Fork during the summer. The river is only open for day use this year, so plan day trips instead of camping trips. Have fun out there and stay cool by wading kneedeep in our mountain streams. Happy fishing, everyone!

BRIEF

History Museum To Open Railroad Exhibit

The Sun Valley Museum of History, formerly known as the Ketchum/ Sun Valley Heritage and Ski Museum, will unveil its new exhibit dealing with the train’s impact on Sun Valley on Thursday. The exhibit, “Railroad Ties: Tracking the History of Sun Valley,” explains the economical and socio-cultural impacts of the railroad as it takes visitors from the prehistory of early peoples to Sun Valley resort. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays in Ketchum’s Forest Service Park, First and Washington streets. Admission is $5 for adults, $2.50 for students, active military and seniors 65 and older and free for children ages 5 and under. In conjunction with the exhibit, local historian John Lundin will give an overview of the Oregon Short Line Railroad and its history and impact on the Wood River Valley in two parts. The first part takes place at 6 p.m. Thursday at The Community Library. The second part starts at 4:30 p.m. Friday at the library. Both lectures are free.

Dance Tapestry Celebrates 30 Years Of Footlight BY KAREN BOSSICK

Sun Valley Real Estate’s Cindy Ward And Matt Ward

PHOTOS OF THE WEEK

indy Ward and her son Matt Ward know this Valley well. Cindy moved here in the 1980s with her husband Ken. She knew all the wonderful treasures of the Wood River Valley since she was a child and spent her summers coming to the Valley to camp, ice skate, and swim in the lakes and Big Wood River. Cindy took a job managing a ski lodge and as a property manager, and she and her husband, a trained electrician, started to meet people and eventually bought some property with friends and found herself in the real estate business. Over the years Cindy has played a major role in the real estate world from being active president of the Sawtooth Board of Realtors. Ken Ward is an electrician by trade and together they built spec houses. They started developing subdivisions; Cedar Bend in Hailey was the first subdivision to work with the Blaine County Land Trust, and Maple Ridge in Bellevue. The Wards are also responsible for building the first LEED house in Idaho, Playfair Ranch in Bellevue. (playfairranch.com) LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. This LEED house received a silver certification. Since Playfair Ranch, there have been several LEED properties in Hailey, including the Visitor Center, which houses the Hailey Chamber of Commerce. Cindy owned her own real estate company, Cornerstone Realty, but she has merged with Sun Valley Real Estate and has an office in Hailey. She had to relocate due to a burst water main, but they are anxious to move back into their old “new” office on the corner of Bullion and River streets this fall. Cindy works with her son Matt Ward, who was raised in the Wood River Valley and knows the Valley like the back of his hand. Matt has his degree in marketing and advertising from the University of Idaho and has worked with Sun Valley Real Estate for just over a year. Cindy and Matt take great pride in helping their clients find a place to call home. Cindy believes that all real estate transactions should be a good fit for all parties, buyer and seller. Home ownership is one of the best investments for individuals, but there are times when it is best for someone to rent until they know exactly what they want. Cindy takes great pride in helping to guide her clients into contracts that are a good fit for all involved. Cindy has seen the real estate market do “cycles” over the last few decades. It has been a good opportunity to re-educate and learn the best way to help her clients with short sales and foreclosures. She wants to remind people that if you are going through this ‘hiccup,’ to remember to treat your real estate decision as a business-strategic default.

otty has long been saving for a rainy day. And when she endures one rainy day too many in dreary old England, she summons up all her courage and boldly informs her husband Mellersh that she is going to spend the month of April in an Italian castle where the only rain she will encounter is that in the nearby Mediterranean. “I’ve done what’s expected of me. I thought I would be rewarded,” she says as she expresses her yearning for something more in life. To help share the costs of the getaway from cooking hubby dinner every night, Lotty enlists a “disappointed Madonna” named Rose; Lady Caroline, who is so forward-thinking she borders on being scandalous, and a dowager named Mrs. Graves, who considers Tennyson among her friends—and is quite fond of reminding others of that fact. And there you have the beginnings of “Enchanted April,” a play that will truly take the audience out of sunny Sun Valley and drop them in another world for 2.15 hours. Company of Fools is staging the play—a cross between “Downton Abbey” and “Shirley Valentine”—through July 26 at The Liberty Theatre. This particular production features a mix of poignancy and chuckles, with the laughs coming to a climax over the “bomba bagno.”

The attention to detail makes this production quite remarkable. Set designer Joe Lavigne has created a piece of magic with an austere England set opening up into a charming Italian castle decked with wisteria. Little knickknacks like antique tea cups complete the scene. Costume designer Darrin J. Pufall, a professor at Boise State University, has created an amazing wardrobe of 50 dresses dating back to the World War I era—some of which would have made Queen Victoria swoon had she lived past her 81st birthday. And the maid Costanza, played by Jana Arnold, has commandeered an amazing grasp of the Italian language—or so she leads us to believe—under dialect coach Ann Price. Aly Wepplo plays the wideeyed Lotty who sets everything in motion, and David Janeski, her pompous husband Mellersh. Susan Sanford plays the reticent Rose, who has wilted under the hold of a long-held secret, and Andrew Alburger, her poetry-writing husband Frederick. Suzanne Gray plays the dashing Lady Caroline Bramble, and Irene Ziegler, the imperious Mrs. Graves. Jana Arnold plays the expressive Costanza, and Neil Brookshire, her boss. Under the direction of Steve Perigard, this is truly a transformative play. The women start their journey somewhat fearful, ending up being transformed— Lady Caroline and Mrs. Graves in ways you might not have imagined. “Mother always said there was

he Indian paintbrush colors many a hike in the central Idaho mountains. And that’s to be expected, as it grows at all elevations, from the Big Wood River bottom to peaks exceeding the treeline. The scarlet paintbrush tends to dominate the landscape, although a yellow or yellow-green variety commonly referred to as slender paintbrush appears to be more common this summer. The wildflower experts in the valley are fond of recounting that there are about 250 species of paintbrush in the West—40 in the Northwest. The showy red bracts—or leaves—that we see on the 8-inch plants are actually not the true flowers. The small green or yellow flowers are hidden by the flowerlike leaves. Most of the species are semi-parasitic as their root system penetrates roots of other plants, robbing them of their nourishment. Native Americans used the pigments to paint. A salve made of dried paintbrush and dried yarrow infused with olive oil and grated beeswax can be used on burns or wounds to relieve the pain, reduce the chance of infection and help prevent scarring. A tea made from the dried plant supposedly helps with digestion, regulates the menstrual cycle and increases urine flow during edema. And a teaspoon of the root tincture in a half cup of

he U.S. acquitted itself nobly in its 2-1 loss to Belgium. Outgunned from the start, goalie Tim Howard kept the U.S. in it with a record 15 saves. In the 92nd minute, U.S. forward Wondolowski had the ball on his foot and an empty net eight feet in front of him, but he chipped the ball over the bar. In the 93rd minute, Belgium scored, and soon scored again. Bradley’s late goal was too little, too late. On July 4th France and Germany squared off. Germany scored in the 12th minute on a header, and that was enough for a 1-0 win. France was untested, and didn’t play with a sense of urgency against Germany’s ball possession game. Germany played for the second goal, so France had its chances. The German win was their fourth consecutive semi-final World Cup appearance. This ho-hum game made baseball look exciting. Later in the day, an exciting Colombian team faced Brazil. Colombia had won all its games in regulation and had outscored opponents 11-2. Brazil is not playing all that well. Here was

a chance to reverse a historical curse. Colombia was 1-19 against Brazil in tournament play, and this was their first World Cup quarter final. In a sense, the score was 1-0 before the game ever started. It was the pre-2004 Red Sox versus Yankees all over again. The die was cast. In the 7th minute, team captain da Silva converted off a corner kick, and it was 1-0 Brazil. The World Cup is merciless. As the Cup progresses, the goals are fewer and they weigh more. Whoever scores first wins. No glorious American-style comebacks. The Colombian goalie made some great saves, and as the U.S. knows, that’s a bad sign. In the 70th minute, Brazil scored again. Colombia got a late goal on a penalty kick, pressed the attack for the last 15 minutes, but Brazil hung on for dear life, and got the unconvincing win. Argentina vs. Belgium. Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, was thought to be a one-man show. Would Belgium’s balanced offense be up to the task? After showing some early flashes, Argentina scored in the 8th minute. Higuain, who played a super game, popped in

a one-timer that gave Argentina a lead it would never relinquish. Messi has great footwork, keeps the ball in traffic, he has glue on his shoes, and he is not a flopper. Usually double covered, he sets up plays. Belgium had scored six World Cup goals after the 70th minute. They put the pressure on, added another striker, but Argentina survived, 1-0. Once again, the team with the lead won the game. Costa Rica vs. The Netherland. With the U.S. out, the lone team, Costa Rica, remained from our CONCACAF group. They are this Cup’s Cinderella, a cruel fate. The Dutch pushed the attack from the start, and Navas had to make great saves. We know what that means. Dutchman Van Percy can’t convert two goalmouth chances in the 93rd minute. The game goes into extra time, the second in a row for the ‘Ticos.’ No CONCACAF team had ever won in extra time. Both teams tried. Crossbars and kick saves sent the scoreless game to penalty kicks. Against Greece, the ‘Ticos’ went 5 for 5. Here, they missed twice, and Cinderella didn’t get her Prince. tws

Jumping On People BY FRAN JEWELL

his is probably one of the biggest problems people come to me with. I think of jumping as an invasion of my personal space and lack of respect from the dog, at ANY age. It is not “attention seeking” or “just being friendly.” The bottom line is that the dog has not learned some basic respect and that the people are the leaders. I also see jumping up as the dog’s attempt to get “higher.” Many times the “higher you are, the higher you are in social status” through a dog’s eyes. Do you have any friends with little dogs (especially terriers) that run to the back of the sofa when you come in the door, then they start to bark at you? This guy may be really friendly, but friendly doesn’t mean he respects people, and the same can be true for other dogs, too! What is further so critical to realize is that larger breed dogs that do not Courtesy Photo learn to respect you both physically and emotionally as a young puppy will almost always learn to use their bodies as adults to push you around and get what they want. This has incredibly dangerous consequences for people! Many people have hidden disabilities that can cause them balance problems. When you take your dog into pubic or invite people to your home, you also take the risk that you will come in contact with someone with a disability. A dog jumping (even small dogs) on someone who has any balance issues at all can cause them to fall and severely injure themselves, which becomes your liability. If you take your dog in public or even on walks in the woods, you don’t have choices about who your dog is going to meet and potentially jump on. This be-

havior is not just an annoyance, it literally could be a life-anddeath situation for someone that the dog jumps on. It is NOT CUTE or AFFECTIONATE or being FRIENDLY. Calling it “attention seeking” minimizes the seriousness of it and reduces our personal responsibility to train our dogs. I see jumping as a mortal sin, almost as serious as biting because it can be so dangerous. I know this is not a popular way to view jumping, but I have a special view into this behavior since I train service dogs for the disabled, and I, myself, have been disabled, and see day after day the danger it poses. Jumping on people is not only dangerous but, as I see it, shows a lack of leadership in the household. A good instructor will help you recognize IF your dog is lacking respect, in general, but also how to go about gaining that respect in a way that the dog understands. Beating a dog up is not how to gain respect. It is about requiring manners on a daily basis. How you go about that may be different for each dog, depending on what is meaningful to the dog. There are exercises that you can learn that encourage respect from the dog on many levels, and will help the dog naturally have respect, not just the moment of jumping. The longer you wait to teach your dog NOT TO JUMP, the harder it is to stop this very dangerous behavior. Puppies should be learning this respect for you and others the moment they come home. Explain to your friends and visitors that petting a jumping dog is simply not allowed in your household. First, always reward sitting with LOADS OF AFFECTION! Teach sitting nicely for petting. Then, NEVER PET a jumping dog or puppy, especially one that belongs to someone else that is

trying to train them. One pet for jumping signals to the dog that this is a good behavior and to do it again. Never encourage jumping for anything. I encourage people (both on someone standing and on someone who is sitting) to “reclaim” their personal space from the dog by stepping into the dog. Most people are capable of doing this. It doesn’t require a lot of timing, but does require that the person have some confidence to just keep walking into the dog when the dog jumps or stays up on them. This is not a knee in the chest. It is reclaiming your personal space. Even after the dog gets off, walk a few steps right into him until he moves away willingly. That movement of the dog away from the person tells the person that the dog has finally respected the human’s space. If you are in a sitting position and the dog puts his feet on you, you can simply stand up and walk into the dog. Again, this says to the dog that he has invaded your space and he must yield to you. I also use the word “GET OFF” or just “OFF,” not “DOWN.” Down means to lie down. If you use “DOWN,” then try to teach your dog “DOWN,” your dog will be very confused There are more traditional, aversive methods that I think can help certain very tenacious dogs, but, in general, they do not effectuate the respect as well as this simple exercise. In short, jumping is NOT a behavior to encourage for anything. It is simply dangerous and does not teach a dog to be respectful. To motivate yourself, think about how lovely it is to have clean clothes, and no scratches on your arms or legs! Starting the second you bring your dog home, puppy or older, it is imperative to make the training much easier. It will help an older dog or rescue make the transition to your home easier, too, because they will learn what is acceptable and what is not. Seek help from a qualified professional if you are unsure or need further guidance.

The sportswear boasts no logos and is super comfortable, said Roos. “You can wear it for exercise or going out and about, or even going to dinner,” she said. “I’m their biggest customer.” The relatively new business is located on the second floor of the Friesen Gallery in Ketchum. And, yes, it’ll be open for Friday’s Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m., as the salesroom doubles as a design studio boasting art, said Megan Murphy Lengyel.

Jewish Film Fest Concludes BY KAREN BOSSICK

he second annual Jewish Film Festival concludes next week with two free screenings at the Community School off Dollar Road a little south of the Sun Valley Pavilion. At 6 p.m. Monday, “Six Days in June” will chronicle the events of the Six Day War between Egypt and Israel in 1967. According to film festival chair Linda Cooper, the film features a fresh perspective, “stunning” archival footage, and first-hand accounts from both Israeli and Arab soldiers. The film explores how these events reshaped the regional political landscape, having profound global consequences. At 6 p.m. on Wednesday, July 16, “The Real Inglorious Bastards” will be shown. The docudrama chronicles how two Jewish children who immigrated to the United States came of age as Adolph Hitler was imprisoning their relatives in concentration camps. Eager to help in the fight against Nazi Germany, they flew under enemy radar, parachuted onto a glacier and infiltrated a Nazi stronghold with the idea of relaying information back to the Allies. Their actions helped the Allies turn the tide against Nazi Germany by disrupting a vital German-Italian supply route and bringing about the surrender of Innsbruck. And their hair-raising adventure has been recounted in “The Real Inglorious Bastards.” tws

Barn Owl. Courtesy Photo By Kathleen Cameron, www.majesticfeathers.com BY BALI SZABO

n the evening of June 26, The Community Library hosted Kathleen Cameron’s video presentation and talk on Idaho’s owls. In front of a packed house, Cameron was quick to point out that this video was a decade in the making and put 6500 miles on her car. Owls are reclusive, well camouflaged, and the majority are nocturnal. Cameron showed them in flight, perched in trees, on wires, fence posts, cliff and tree hollows. She had great shots of feather ball owlets preening themselves. The young ones have low survival rates because of predators, humans and sibling cannibalism. The eggs take 30 to 45 days to hatch, and then it’s two more months before the fledglings are ready to explore on their own. Once past the age of 2, they can live to 15 or so. Unfortunately, owl numbers are on the decline for a variety of reasons, the elimination of habitat being the biggest for them and most other animals. Environmental poisons and vehicle collisions are others. Owls are one of the few species that eat pine beetles. Idaho has a lot of excellent owl habitat because of our low population density of 12 people/square mile. For instance, New Hampshire has the same population size, but 10 times the density in a tenth of the squaremile area. Idaho has a lot of sagebrush steppe and old-growth forest left. Kathleen also mentioned that the scarcity of people and their honesty as important factors for observation, allowing

her to leave recording equipment in the field, and find it in place the next day. There are 11 species of owls that can be seen in Idaho, of about 20 in the Northern Hemisphere. The rarest are the snowy and the large, diurnal great northern hawk owl. The most common in all of North America is the great horned owl, best known for its spooky nocturnal three hoots. Its nest is often marked by little balls of indigestible waste matter that accumulate at the base of a large tree. Diurnal owls have a nemesis—the hawk. Kathleen showed the adaptation of the northern pygmy owl, a small, fluffy, 6-inch-tall bird which, when a hawk is in the vicinity, pulls in its feathers and narrows its profile so it resembles a stick. She also pointed out that owls can’t swivel their heads 360 degrees, only 180, but do so in both directions. Because they have no eyeballs, their head has to turn to see the object. Birding brings more revenue to an area than hunting and fishing combined. When a great northern hawk owl was spotted here, the word went out over the Internet and people came running from other states just to catch site of it—a big maybe. This type of eco-tourism generates significant revenue. It has been shown that a wolf brings in $1200, and that shooting it costs about that much. Rubberneckers are money in the bank. Kathleen Cameron is not just a birder. Her Cameron Multimedia LLC made the video, and she guides winter birding tours to Costa Rica and the Galapagos. tws

Beaver Creek Firefighter Commended

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, Idaho has presented a Citation for Exemplary Action to Larry (Kaili) McCray, Wildland Fire Medical Standards Program Manager with the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). McCray, was awarded the Departmental honor for heroic acts at the 2013 Beaver Creek Fire. The Exemplary Act Award recognizes McCray’s prompt action and decisions that contributed to saving a life on August 13, 2013. McCray administered chest compressions, applied an automated external defibrillator (AED), and ordered oxygen in response to a fire camp crew member who suffered a cardiac arrest. He coordinated his efforts with two other trained employees assigned to the fire, who also responded, from the U.S. Forest Service and the State of Maryland. The emergency room physician who later cared for the victim credited the responders’ actions and use of the AED on site with saving the patient’s life. McCray was assigned to the Beaver Creek fire as a Medical Unit Leader trainee when the incident occurred. The Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center completed a standard incident review, which is available online at http://bit.ly/BeaverCrkCardiac.
