‘The Arts Make Us Human’ BY ALEXANDRA HAUPT

n Sunday evening, dancers gathered to perform a gala of contemporary dance in celebration of Footlight Dance Company’s 30th anniversary. The theme: Togetherness. For years, Hilary Neely—Footlight’s founder and artistic director—has brought the education of movement to the Wood River Valley. In her eyes, she has had the privilege of teaching dance to hundreds of youngsters, witnessing them grow and become who they are today. A fair amount of these dancers have continued a path related to dance, Neely said. Beyond the performance on Sunday, the reunion included a weeklong workshop. Footlight alumni Alexandra (Ali) Maricich and Molly Sides, who both went on to study professionally at Cornish College of the Arts, returned to lead elements of the workshop and co-direct the performance. Six freelance dancers from Seattle also taught the workshop, including Markeith Wiley, a choreographer and artistic director of “The New Animals;” Amy Johnson, a Cornish Graduate and dancer in Seattle International Dance Festival along with Mariah Martens; Sean Tomerlin, a dancer from Fresno Ballet, Ballet Met and Arc Dance Products; and Calie Swedberg, a member of Saint Genet involved with other Seattle based artists. The first act of the performance was comprised of five very different dances, from hip-hop to ballet performed by the professionals. Act two began with a slide show of images from 1984 to today and brought some to tears. The slide show was followed by an intermediate student dance choreographed by Martens, an advanced student dance choreographed by Johnson and a piece by the local Dirty Feet Dance Company, whose members include several Footlight alumni. The finale was a reunion piece, titled “All Together Now,” choreographed by Sides and Maricich. The reunion brought back 21 Footlight alumni from 1990-2013. Neely feels privileged to have made connections with her students, seeing them grow into the individuals that they are today. “One of my greatest pleasures is finding little seeds and figuring out how they can grow larger not only with an idea, but collaborating with others and bringing the arts to the community,” Neely said. Neely began the company in 1984 as a means of starting a career in our rustic ski town. The rise of Footlight came to her as a surprise. “I never envisioned the growth to be so viable in the community,” she said. Since 1984, she has participated in the Wood River Arts Alliance and Community School’s dance and theater program and has, of course, spearheaded the many works Footlight has showcased. “Working with so many dancers over the years has created a camaraderie, like a family,” Neely said. “The arts make us human, the arts allow us the freedom to express ourselves and share emotion.”

All About The Dance

Ali, or Alexandra, Maricich makes a few moves against the backdrop of Julie Spiedel’s glacial works outside Gail Severn Gallery. STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

li Maricich can’t sit still. Her hands weave gracefully over her head as she talks, crossing down in front of her before gracefully angling out to the side. It’s not the agitated restlessness of someone with attention deficit disorder or of someone who is in a state of distress. Rather, it’s the constant motion of someone who is in love with dance. “Moving is such a huge part of my life, from traveling to moving as a way to maintain my health. It’s energy, and I’m constantly brushing things, finding

texture, kneading—I’m never finished with it,” she says as her hands mimic the movement of someone kneading bread. Maricich, 23, is one of a dozen Wood River Valley women who have grown up in the Footlight Dance Centre program and gone on to major in dance. They have danced on stages throughout the world. And they’ve taken dance to retirement centers and YMCAs. Maricich has even strapped acrylic paints to her body and let the paint splash on a huge canvas as she danced across it. She and Molly Sides came back this past week to spend a week teaching dance to local youth and adults. And on Sunday they led professional and amateur dancers in a tapestry of dances they’d choreographed celebrating Footlight Dance’s 30th anniversary.

Spearheading Which Weeds Are Noxious? More Than I Sun Valley daho has 64 listed noxious weeds property owners are required by law to control. Blaine County sees the majority of these weeds in spotted knapweed, rush skeleton, Dalmatian toadflax, and thistles. But how does a weed become noxious? And why some weeds and not others?

BY JENNIFER SIMPSON

Franti is involved with several philanthropic organizations and causes. One of them, which he became involved with last year, is the Do It For The Love Foundation (DIFTL). DIFTL is similar to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, but with music. For people in advanced stages of illness who would like to see a particular show, a team comes together, contacts the artist or band and tries to make it happen. OAR, Blues Traveler, Santana, and Train are just a few bands that have already participated with DIFTL. Franti has been deeply moved by all the people he has met on his journey. He frequently speaks about them and how he has learned about these people who show up from all walks of life. He affirmed, “It’s taught me a lot about letting go.”

ecently, I spoke with Michael Franti about the Soulshine Tour that visited the Sun Valley area on July 2. When I asked him why he thought Sun Valley was a good place for the tour to stop, he responded that it’s the perfect place to do both music and yoga, with the majority of people here taking pride in and celebrating living healthy and peaceful lifestyles outdoors. He’s right; it’s clearly visible. Most of us here in the valley really do try and maintain a healthy way of living. It was just a bonus that he has lots of friends here in the valley.

A noxious weed is a weed that is not native to our area; is harmful to humans, animals, and the environment; and has proven to be invasive. Invasive species include those that were purposefully or inadvertently brought here and that exhibit invasive characteristics. This excludes introduced species that have great value. Rather, invasive species escape their original or intended ecological niche to habitats where they spread uncontrollably.

is an invasive species and if it fits the definition of a noxious weed. If so, they study the plant, look for control methods, and add it to the list of noxious weeds. The plant is then required by law to be managed. Blaine County works with the Idaho Invasive Species Council and the Department of Agriculture through our Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA), one of thirty across the State. CWMA works with local land managers to come to together in the fight against noxious weeds. In Blaine County, we work with the Forest Service, BLM, Idaho Transportation Department, local cities, National Park Service, Wood River Land Trust, Idaho Conservation League, BCRD, Pesticide Action Network and the University of Idaho Extension Office, as well as private property owners, to manage

I am involved with The Advocates because helping my community is very important and I feel that together we can make a difference. The community needs to have a greater awareness toward domestic violence, as well as any physical or emotional violence that takes place. If we spread the awareness and the education, then the community might take a stand and unite against it. Another change I would like to make is spreading education and insight to other teens.

and interact with other people.

What can youth do to change this? If the youth are highly educated toward these laws, then they would be able to recognize the situations and protect themselves and others around them. And it’s not just about laws, but having respect toward one another. In addition, if teens sought out other things to do for entertainment that excluded drugs and alcohol, their general health and wellbeing, as well as their relationships with other people, would greatly improve.

What are some problems youth face in our Valley?

What would you like to see adults do?

Some of the problems youth face in our Valley is ignorance toward laws regarding sexual consent. There are many teens out there that are messing around and do not know what consent is, which could lead to very serious consequences. Adults tell us just to not do certain behaviors, but they should be educating and being honest with us. Teens also face drugand alcohol-related problems that impact the way they relate

I would like to see adults, and especially parents, who are aware of the acts of violence that occur in this Valley. I would like to see them educated and standing against violence, including violence with youth. This includes emotional, physical and verbal violence. They need to pay attention to their children and help them be as healthy as possible.

Isabelle Caraluzzi

Higher Ground BY JONATHAN KANE

sabelle Caraluzzi, a Community School senior, gives back to the community that she loves by participating in the Higher Ground program – formerly known as Sun Valley Adaptive Sports. Within the program, Caraluzzi works with both children and adults with disabilities and helps give them access to recreational therapy and helps kids to interact with other kids their age and have fun doing it. “As teenagers in this Valley, it’s important to understand every type of person in the world,” Caraluzzi said. “Because we are so isolated here, we don’t see or take part in real social issues. You end up getting caught up in your life and not caught up in the lives of other kids your age. In Higher Ground, it’s so great to hang out with kids that are so stoked and happy and grateful to play. It just makes you feel really good.” Caraluzzi heard about the program from a friend and decided to apply and was accepted. For Higher Ground, she spends her summers working with kids at the summer camp, and in the winter she works with both kids and adults on Dollar Mountain, teaching them how to ski. The summer camp is based out of The Sage School and has about 16 campers and 16 counselors. It started at the beginning of July and will go until mid-August. “We meet up every morning and go out for the rest of the day on field trips, hikes, swimming at the Y and doing all sorts of activities. The best is when we go to a gym in Hailey and play on all the equipment, like the trampoline. To see the kids having so much fun jumping and swinging is really special. Also, they make friends and grow socially. It’s a job, but it’s so rewarding playing games and bonding with them. You also get to act like a kid yourself when you are hanging out with them.” In the community service club at the Community School, Caraluzzi signed up to help teach people with disabilities how to train and ski. They also helped train them for the Special Olympics, which held its regionals in Sun Valley. “Every day we would figure out the course and set up the gates. We would also work with seasoned volunteers for Higher Ground. I’ve loved the whole experience and it’s really cool that it was founded in Sun Valley. It’s also amazing that these are people that, because

of their disabilities, don’t get all the same opportunities as other people. They are separated for educational purposes. At Higher Ground, they can make real friends and grow socially.” Born in Washington, D.C., Caraluzzi moved to the Wood River Valley at age 6 and started at the Community School in sixth grade. There she plays soccer and tennis and is the editor-in-chief of the school’s literary magazine – Aphelion. “I like it there a lot because it is so different in the way the school is organized. We really have a voice there in the way we want to see things run. It gives us a level of responsibility.”

When it came time for college, she majored in dance because she had studied theater throughout high school at Wood River High School’s Performing Arts Academy. “I was so in love with dance, as it was new to me, and I wanted to see where I could go,” says the 25-year-old. Like Maricich, Sides opted for Cornish—one of the top performing arts colleges in the nation. There, she took classes in kinesiology, physiology, lighting, design, production and choreography, along with such classes as “Lay of the Land,” which examined Seattle’s architecture, and “American Family in Literature and Film.” She also danced for 14 hours a day, exploring ballet, modern,

flamenco, jazz and other dance forms. “One of my favorites was African-Brazilian—we had teachers from Rio who taught it, often in Portuguese. It was great because I learned another language,” says Sides, who has shared some of what she has learned for the past two years at her Make a Scene dance performances in Ketchum Town Square. While at Cornish, Sides went abroad where she learned about traditional folk dance and comedia in Arezzo, Italy, an hour north of Florence.

ry. And we need to find our roots to tell the story,” she says. The experience also helped her connect the dots between theater, dance, comedy and voice. She put it all out there for her senior thesis as she walked through the audience in 5-inch heels speaking Italian before climbing on stage where she danced to the music of Abba. “It depicted coming out of my shell. I told a story and I expressed comic relief through the whole thing—both of which are important to me. For me, it’s all about communication—I want to communicate with people. And I want to involve people in what I do instead of shutting them off. I want to hold their hand and show them. I want to include people,” she says.

A fork in the road

One afternoon last week, Maricich encouraged a dozen fifth- and sixth-graders to move like animals during an improv workshop. “Keep your head high in the sky,” she told them as they hopped sideways like bunny rabbits. “Zip up into your core muscles,” she told them a few minutes later. “Ali is known in Seattle for her great stage presence. You can’t watch anyone else when she’s on stage,” said her admiring co-dancer Mariah Martens. “She embraces a way of moving that lets everything go. She dances with a sense of abandon.” Both Sides and Maricich love teaching. “I’m slowly finding my voice,” says Maricich. “I invite people to be present in their own body instead of teaching from the top down. I always want to allow space for people to have their

Sides has danced with Seattle’s SaltHorse, Lingo and The New Animals, as well as Portland’s tEEth. She’s also choreographed and presented her own work at such venues as NexFest NW. She has a band she loves. She also loves choreography and making movement. Her dream job: to continue her band and create dance films. “I feel like I have to perform,” she says. Maricich is working as a founding member of The Pendleton House—an innovative platform for “investigative artists”—in Seattle. “I have so many dreams. I desire to dance and I desire to do more community arts. I’d like to work with Parkinson’s patients, for instance. I’d like to continue to work with memory care. And I’m toying with the idea of providing sex education for high school students through dance. It can be so empowering to learn about the body through dance,” she says. One thing both women agree on is the increasing importance of dance in a world where people have become so wedded to their cellphones and other technology. “You don’t’ even get a handshake anymore. Dance provides a connection, a tactileness that’s so important. It provides a way to express emotion, to communicate,” says Sides. “No one knows that better than me. Dance has taught me a different language, a new way to express myself.”

Gift Computers Prompt Tears BY KAREN BOSSICK

aul Zimmerman was taken aback as he held up a laptop in front of 40 students in his computer class. “These folks had never seen a laptop before. They didn’t know what it was. It was just a rectangular box to them,” said Zimmerman, technology integrator for the Blaine County School District. By the end of the last class last week, the adults in Zimmerman’s class had taken apart a computer so they knew about its internal workings. They had learned about all the things you can plug into it, such as cameras to be downloaded. And they even knew how to set up the computer that Zimmerman gave each of them to take home. The giveaways—Dell Optiplex computers that are too old to be useful for the school district—brought tears to the eyes of some of the recipients. “There was a 10-second pause as they stood there in disbelief. Three started crying. One man put the computer under his arm. Then he looked at the interpreter and said, ‘Are you sure they’re not going to stop me when I walk out of the building?’” Zimmerman recounted. Zimmerman and Tim Rocco, the school district’s technology director, developed the class. They enlisted 40 Hispanic adults, all parents of students in the district. And they recruited Gloria Hurtado-Hurst, the district’s Latino services outreach coordinator, to inter-

pret. “The technology department wants to share information and knowledge not just with those attending classes in the district, but with the community,” said Zimmerman. “In this case, we’re teaching parents basic skills so they can help their children at home.” “We want to invest in the community,” added Rocco. “This is a way to teach parents how to help their kids so the kids don’t just use computer technology for entertainment.” The class started in March with two classes a month. Attendees consisted of landscape and construction workers and stay-at-home Moms. During the first class, students took apart a computer so they could see it had all the stuff that was in the cell phones they use every day. They learned basic typing skills, along with Windows, how to type a document and save it, how to email messages and how to use a browser to access information on the Internet. In the last class, the students were required to hook up a monitor, keyboard, mouse and desktop machine that they loaded with a free Ubuntu operating system. They then learned that they would be taking home the com-

puter they’d just set up. “Otherwise, they would have had to go to the library or a friend’s house and use one of their computers. Giving them a computer makes sure they keep practicing what they’ve learned,” Zimmerman said. New School Superintendent Gwen Carol Holmes called the exercise a great way to recycle computers that the school district can’t use anymore. “The class was so much fun. To see students progressing from knowing virtually nothing to achieving basic Internet functionality is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done,” said Zimmerman. “These people have jobs that keep them busy. But they stuck with it and learned how to hook up a desktop computer.” Zimmerman plans to offer more classes this coming school year. Included, he said, will be a class on Skyward, an administrative software program that allows parents to keep track of their children’s grades, apply for free lunches and more. “We’ll send out a survey to ask what people want,” he added. tws

Movie Review

They Came Together JON RATED THIS MOVIE BY JONATHAN KANE

he new supposed comedy They Came Together is such a bad mess that it’s hard to know where to begin. It’s also especially painful to slam because the two leads, Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler, are so talented and likable. The movie also features Bill Hader and Ed Helms, who are also very talented and likable. But how, dear God, did they end up in this? Ostensibly, the movie is supposed to be a send-up of the very cliché romantic comedy genre, sort of like an Airplane! or Naked Gun. The two films they seem to be aiming at most are When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail. The problem here is that the film is one joke that falls flat the first time and goes on and on for a very painful 83 minutes. For example, Rudd goes into a bar to drown his sorrows. When the bartender commiserates, Rudd repeats saying ‘Tell me about it’ and ‘You can say that again,’ which the bartender does over and over again in one of the most painfully unfunny sequences ever put on celluloid. In another cute moment, Poehler orders a muffin by saying—and I’m not making this up—“I’ll have a low-fat sugar-free banana-yogurt muffin, but if they don’t have that I’ll have half a poppy seed muffin. They can take out the poppy seeds and heat it up. If they can’t heat it up, then leave half the poppy seeds in and sprinkle the other half of the poppy seeds on half a blueberry muffin and then cut both halves in half and throw them away. In either scenario I want a lemon chocolate loaf, but it must be shrinkwrapped and, more importantly, it must smell more like lemon than chocolate.” I mean, it doesn’t get funnier than that, does it? All of the blame falls on writer-director David Wain for insulting our intelligence, and to Rudd and Poehler’s agent for severely setting back their careers.

Firefighters To Walk In Cancer Relay BY KAREN BOSSICK

ani Edelman and her cohorts are used to putting out fires. This summer, they’re helping to douse cancer as well. Edelman and her firefighting brethren at the Hailey Fire Department have formed a team to participate in this weekend’s American Cancer society Relay for Life Blaine County. And they’re doing it to honor Edelman’s young friend—5year-old Gareth Teullet, who is fighting brain cancer. Teullet, who is a playmate of Edelman’s son, was diagnosed with brain cancer in August 2013, said his mother Tamara Mortensen. He has undergone surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. “I’ve known him since he was born,” said Edelman. “I watched him grow up. About the time he was four, he started tripping and falling. The coordination just wasn’t there. That’s when they found out he had cancer.” The relay will take place from 6 p.m. on Friday to 8 a.m. on Saturday at the track at Wood River High School. Firefighters will carry Teullet around on their shoulders during the first lap. The first lap is known as the Survivors Lap—a time when all cancer survivors celebrate their victory over cancer. After dark, luminarias will be lit around the track for loved ones who have battled cancer. A “Fight Back” ceremony will honor the emotional commitment both cancer patients and caregivers make in the fight against cancer.

Participants will take turns walking around the track throughout the night, in the midst of food, games and other activities designed to provide entertainment and build camaraderie. The Relay hopes to raise $46,000 by the time the event starts. It had raised about $30,000 as of last week. The money goes to research, providing rides for those receiving treatment, lodging for patients receiving treatment in places like Twin Falls and Boise, a 24-hour hotline for patients and their families and wigs for those who have lost their hair. Top fundraisers so far are Sharon Pyle with $4,225, Lynn Pattnosh with $1,870 and Jamie Swanson with $1,337. Atkinsons’ Avengers have raised $8,275 so far; Wood River Dental, $3,362, and ConciergeQ, $3,070. The firefighters’ original goal was $1,000, said Hailey Fire Chief Craig Aberbach. But after they raised $1,300 by the end of April, they set a new goal of $2,500. “I’m really excited. I don’t go anywhere without asking people to support me,” Aberbach said. Relay for Life originated in 1985 with a doctor who walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Wash., raising $27,000 to help the American Cancer Society fight cancer. A year later, 340 supporters joined him. Today, the Relay for Life movement is a worldwide phenomenon, raising nearly $5 billion each year to fight cancer. tws

Idaho Aquaculture Industry I

n recent weeks, Secretary of State John Kerry embarked on a mission to raise awareness of oceanic pollution and the push for sustainably harvested seafood. Although Idaho is a landlocked state, it is a top 10 producer of fish in the U.S., including rainbow and brown trout, tilapia, catfish, and sturgeon. Aquaculture is the process of raising fish in hatcheries and farms for food and recreation. With a concern for global protection of the world’s oceans, aquaculture has a valuable role to play; it is estimated that aquaculture satisfies 50 percent of our seafood needs. Idaho’s aquaculture industry is valued at $100 million. Idaho is the number one producer of trout in the U.S., accounting for 75 percent of all domestic trout production. The presence of the Thousand Springs reach of the mid-Snake River provides high-quality, oxygenated water at optimum temperatures for rainbow trout production. On average, 41 million pounds of rainbow trout are produced annually for both food and recreational use. Around 80 production fish farms are located in the Magic Valley, primarily in Twin Falls,

Gooding, and Jerome counties. Over the last 15 years, Idaho’s aquaculture industry has become more sustainable and environmentally aware. With the help of university research and extension, improvements have been made to feed and waste management, which has resulted in improved water quality in the mid-Snake River. The next challenge for Idaho’s aquaculture industry is water quantity. Spring flows have been declining since the mid-1950s and numerous years of consecutive drought are impacting Idaho’s aquifers. Hydrologists estimate the aquifers are being depleted by over 400,000 acre-feet per year. With the continued help of University of Idaho research and extension in cooperation with federal and state environmental regulations, Idaho’s aquaculture industry will continue to find ways to remain sustainably vital for the national and international consumption of farm-raised fish.

Vanishing Seeds STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

nce upon a time there were 497 varieties of lettuce. There are 47 today. Worldwide, 94 percent of open-pollinated fruit and vegetable varieties have vanished. That’s what those who attended the screening of “Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds” learned Thursday night at the nexStage Theatre. The documentary described

Seed savers can post a sign denoting their garden a “Seed Sanctuary.”

how large corporations are stealing seed varieties by patenting them. Corporate farming, which produces very large amounts of seed with limited genetic variety, has eliminated thousands of home-grown and heritage varieties. Those who were behind the showing contend that it’s not possible to have a sustainable food system without a variety of seeds. One seed, for instance, might have the key genetics that allow it to be successful in a changing climate while the

others in its species might be wiped out. “We need to reclaim our right to save seeds,” said Bill McDorman, who started High Altitude Gardens in Bellevue in 1984 to save seeds from heirloom plants. McDorman recently returned to the valley with his wife Belle Starr to form the Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance with John Caccia, who just started a Wood River Seed Bank. The organization has enlisted a dozen seed savers so far, he said. Both organizations seek to save and catalog seeds and educate communities about the value of that ancient practice of seed saving. “What we’re working on is what people all over the world are working on—even in Nepal,” said McDorman. The event included a reception featuring locally produced foods, such as JulieFoods’ brown flax crackers, fresh tomatoes and fermented olives on cucumbers provided by Onsen Farm and a variety of foodstuffs from MM Heath Farms. “The journey that has just begun here is long and involved and full of twists and turns,” said Starr. “But it’s necessary.” The Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance will have a “Seed School in a Day” on Saturday at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. For information, call 928-300-7989 or email belle@RockyMountainSeeds.org.

the way i see it

Midsummer Night’s Dream BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

hen the sun goes down in the Wood River Valley and the temperatures fade from the mid-nineties and cool breezes begin to stir the trees, I find it very easy to slip into a sound period of slumber. To sleep, perchance to dream—oh, I’ll do that. It would be nice to have a normal dream, whatever that is, but that just isn’t my style. Oh no, that’s not the way I roll. If I ever have a normal dream, I’ll most likely roll off the bed, slam my head into the night stand and receive a concussion. No, I remain supine under a sheet and allow my brain to explode. My reverie begins, the credits begin to roll, the music rises in volume and I ready myself for another visit to the twilight zone… …Picture yourself in a small mountain town in south-central Idaho. It’s nightfall and a man is asleep in his rustic cabin along the highway. As he eases into “la-la” land, a small feral kitten begins to purr violently as she sizes up her prey. In a split second, she pounces on the man’s face—engulfing his entire nose in her tiny mouth—and clamps down her sharp, tiny little teeth with all her might. The cry of pain excites her tiny little body so much that she leaps high into the air, landing lightly on a goose feathered pillow located just above her victim’s head, and begins ripping at his scalp, tearing at tufts of his hair while screaming, “Death to tyrants!” You have now entered The Spa Zone. I really don’t need this, dream lovers. I’d prefer to go quietly in my sleep and slip off with the shadow people like a person. That doesn’t seem to be the plan this evening. The tiny feline going by the name of “Cujolita” has decided that I am the target for the night. A call to 911 ends with sounds of robust laughter on the other side of the line. A cry into the darkness— “The kitty is attempting to murder me!”—is met with silence, and I feel alone and trapped. This isn’t a dream; it’s a nightmare of doom. Round one: Cujolita – 1, Spa – 0. Round two: A run through the house ends in futility as Cujolita defeats me at every turn nipping at my bare feet and, finally, upends me with a firm chomp on my Achilles Heel. Score: Cujolita - 2, Spa – 0. Round three: I roll into the bathroom, lock the door and lie there breathing heavily. I mutter to myself “Make the bad kitty stop!” as I cower by the bathtub curtain. Hope is a far-away word. Kitty is on the other side of the door. I must think. I must act. I must survive. Round four: The door bell rings. I open the bathroom window, stick my head out and shout, “Who is it?” “Brennan Rego, editor of The Weekly Sun!” “What do you want?” “We’re on deadline. You got to let go and turn the column in now!” “What about that cat?” “You’re in a bad dream. Forget about the cat!” “Okay. Thanks for saving me.” “Go ahead, say it.” “Right…Nice talking to you.”

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JULY 16 FROM PICABO ANGLER

ometimes the fishing around here is so great, there just isn’t enough word count for a good report. Here we go anyway! Trico! The heat and the cyclical nature of the Trico hatches and spinner falls over the years have met perfectly this summer. It is safe to say the show is back in the Creek. Many an angler has seen the Trico madness on Silver Creek, and many anglers have decided to make the Sun Valley area their home because of it.

If you have not experienced the Trico spinner fall on hot summer mornings on Silver Creek, this is the time. The volume of insects can be comparable to the brown drakes, only smaller in size. Almost every fish in the river comes to the surface to eat this tiny mayfly. Couple the intensity of the fish mopping the surface of bugs, with the technical side of trying to get them to eat your offering, and you have a recipe for fly angling at its highest level. If you want to learn more, come on down to Picabo and visit with Bob, Nick or John and we’ll set you up for a crazy morning of fishing! If you’ve been at it for a while, and need a “better” fly than the one your casting, we have a few staff favorites that will help get the deal closed on some of the Creek’s nicest fish. Expect a solid month of this activity. Now would be a good time to ask your boss for an afternoon shift. Once the air temps hit 70 degrees, it’s game on! Looking elsewhere, the Big Wood and the upper Lost are putting on their own morning show, with a variety of spinner falls. Green drakes, PMD, Trico, little yellow Sally, golden stones and more are all present on most days. Expect the action to start around 8:30 a.m. and last a solid two hours. After that, big flies like cicadas, Turk’s tarantula and stimulators will still bring fish up. Normally, we’d suggest a dropper fly, but with fishing this good, anglers may want to take advantage of the fish looking hard at the surface this time of the year. Finally, the South Fork of the Boise is fishing pretty well, and we’ve seen a few rafts tackling the new rapids below the boat launch. We still haven’t seen a hard-sided boat go down, but we’re sure someone has tried it. SCOUT IT FIRST! Wear your vest and please be safe. Oh, and take your pink Alberts. Happy Fishing Everyone!

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” - Hippocrates This is a great time of year to check out the Ketchum and Hailey Farmers Markets and see what your local farmers have produced at their farms thus far and what is going to be harvested soon. With the summer heat upon us, think about sustainably building your gardens and yards soil through making your own compost. Here are some of the Compost Basics. Organic gardening experts are constantly telling us to improve our soils with organic matter, but what kind? Fully decayed organic matter—compost—is, in the words of one of my favorite gardening books, “the creme de la creme, the piece de resistance, the best in show, the big rock candy mountain of organic matter.” Not convinced yet? Here’s why it’s so great: Compost improves soil structure, no matter what kind of soil it is. Got clay? It’ll loosen it, letting water draw from it and oxygen get down to the roots. And in sandy soils, the ability to hold moisture is increased by compost. Compost contains nutrients. Compost also feeds micro-organisms, thus increasing plants’ ability to use the nutrients. Compost attracts earthworms, which further enrich the soil and improve its structure. Using homemade compost reduces the need for products you have to buy. Unlike those fast-acting synthetics that end up polluting our waters, compost releases its nutrients slowly. What to compost and what not to: Do compost leaves and other green yard waste. Also, compost kitchen scraps, except for animal parts, dairy or oil, which can attract rodents. Shredded newspaper and cardboard are OK. Don’t use possible contaminants like pet waste, diseased plant parts, or anything sprayed with pesticides or herbicides. To avoid having your plants seed all over the garden, remove the seedheads before composting the rest of the plant. Don’t use woody plant matter over 1/2 inch thick without chopping it up first. The more diversity of composting materials, the better. So, get creative. Composting by piling it on: The cheapest technique (actually free) is to simply put organic materials in a pile. Turn and water them occasionally to keep them aerated and moist and wait while the invisible microorganisms do their job and compost happens. Making a depression in the top of the pile catches rainwater. To speed the process, chop or shred the contents first by running over them with a bagged lawnmower or putting them through a chipper-shredder of some kind. Even easier is what I do: Dump everything into a pile and do nothing but add my green garden waste to the pile. By fall, the pile has settled, and I use my handy pitch fork to pile it higher, making room for a batch of fallen leaves. The resulting product is fully decomposed compost. There are many great examples of compost bins throughout the valley. You can also stop by the WRSC to see a few types that are being utilized: Tumbler composter, Vermi-composting (composting with worms) and composting on the ground. There are also many great landscapers in the valley that can help you achieve your desired results of composting for your garden. We are in the process of developing a demonstrational garden at the WRSC and are always looking for volunteers that have passion for learning these techniques. Stop by the WRSC for more details. At the WRSC, we are committed to local food and education on growing, preserving and cooking food. We provide gardening supplies, seeds suited 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. Have a great week, Al We are open now open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

tarting July 4, things heated up. Nowadays, no Fourth of July is complete without a quintessentially American event such as Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island. As the U.S. and the rest of the world is growing increasingly obese, its no wonder that competitive eating has gone international. On this day, perennial champion Joey Chestnut proposed to his sweetheart on ESPN. She picked a winner as he ate 61 hot dogs in 10 minutes. 143 pound Matt Stonie could only eat 58. Britain was hosting Wimbledon, the Tour de France, and on the 10th, the Women’s British Open, with the Men’s the following week in Liverpool. Wimbledon’s Men’s and Ladies’ Finals were polar opposites. On Saturday, July 6th, Slovakia’s Petra Kvitova faced up and coming 20 year young Canadian Angenie Bouchard. Kvitova, the winner here in 2011, exemplified pure power tennis. Her idol was Navratilova, and she played like her. The points were fast, the rallies short. Bouchard’s second serves were softball lobs, and Kvitova killed her. She took the first set, 6-2, the second 6-0. The match was over in less than an hour. Badda-bim, badda-boom-boom. Sunday’s Men’s final featured two seasoned warriors, Djokovich and Federer. ‘Djoko’ has had little luck here, whereas the Swiss Federer had won here 7 times, and was playing well. He trailed 2 sets to 1, and was behind 5-2 in the fourth set, but managed to save match point and went on to win the set. ‘Djoko’ was winded, had a leg cramp, yet somehow managed to break Federer, converted the championship point and won 6-4. This was one of the best Men’s final ever, and featured great tennis throughout. This year’s Tour de France began on July 6th in England. Usually the first stages are flat, so the sprinters like England’s Mark Cavendish can have their days. Cavendish crashed and withdrew from the race. The second Stage was a break with the past. It featured seven category 2 and 3 climbs, as the race wound through the bucolic Yorkshire countryside. There must not have been anyone left in Britain, because they were either at Wimbledon, or lined the streets here. The mountains meant that the top riders in the Tour would be at the top of the standings from the get-go. Italy’s Vincenzo Nebali, its National Champion, won the Stage. Perhaps the die was cast, though last year’s champ Froome, Van Garderen, Sagan, Contador and Valverde were only a few seconds behind. Stage 5, on Wednesday, July 9th, was much hated by the riders because of the cobblestone streets of Belgium. To make matters worse, it rained. Sharp corners and greasy streets created spills. Chris Froome, Britain’s hope, crashed and had to quit the race. Leader Nebali had a great ride, finished third, and stretched his lead over his rivals to 3 minutes. It continued to rain the rest of the week, which present both psychological and physical problems for the riders. American Chris Horner remarked, “you crack and regroup, crack and regroup, over and over again.” By the weekend, it was back to the mountains of the Haute Rhine region, at the foothills of the Alps, where the borders of Switzerland, Germany and France meet. By the 10th stage, on Bastille Day, July 14, the importance of Days 2 and 5 became evident. The favorite to win the Overall Classification was eliminated, and this reset the field. The injuries riders suffered in the numerous spills also had an effect as the race progressed. Then the big news broke. The 10th stage was all mountains, up or down, no flats. Downhill speeds of 50-60 mph are common. Alberto Contador, on one of the descents, hit something in the road, a hole or a rock, and crashed. His knee was bandaged up, and he tried to continue, but after a few minutes had to quit the Tour. This totally changed the Tour’s dynamic, because he was the other favorite to win. We have a wide open race, with the high altitude Alps and then the Basque country (Pyrenees) yet to come. Vincenzo Nebali is now the consensus favorite. FIFA World Cup Soccer reached its semi-finals on July 9th, as Brazil met Germany. I have mentioned Brazil’s weaknesses during the last two weeks, but no one could foresee the outcome that shocked the world. The stage was set for a clash between the creative, flashy play of five-time World Cup champ Brazil at home, against the well-oiled and engineered German machine. In group play, Germany humbled Portugal and its Brazilian striker Renaldo. It was a game for 8 minutes, and then the roof fell in. Germany’s pinpoint passing overwhelmed a disorganized Brazilian defense as it scored 5 goals in 20 minutes. The final score was 7-1. It was an unprecedented humiliation. Hoping for a contest, the second game of the day was Argentina vs. the Netherlands. Video of the game can be found over-the-counter, right next to the NyQuil. A game of almosts, with very few shots on goal, it went to penalty kicks. Sergio Romero saved on two shots and put Argentina into Sunday’s final with Germany. The final was a game of missed opportunities on both sides, bad luck and bad aim. Weak shots forced the scoreless game into the 30 minutes of extra time. Finally, in the 115th minute, Germany scored and won the game, 1-0. Argentina was playing “forward,” meaning it pushed its defenders further up the field to support its attack. This is dangerous against a good ball possession team like Germany, which launched a swift counter attack. It just took three passes to get the ball to sub Goetze, who sent a rocket of a shot into the far post, with no Argentinian defender in sight. For the first time, a European team won a World Cup in the Americas.

Do You Really Need Life Insurance? PRESENTED BY PATRICK BUCHANAN – STATE FARM AGENT WRITTEN BY STAFF WRITER

ife insurance isn’t just for married couples with children. The need for life insurance is much broader. “Anybody who would experience a financial loss or an emotional loss after a death will need some type of life insurance,” says Marvin Feldman, president and CEO of the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education. Who is it for? Having dependents of any kind necessitates life insurance. Here are examples: •Unmarried couples. Unmarried individuals may have a significant other who relies on their support. Life insurance can help provide for them. •Stay-at-home spouses. Life insurance isn’t just for breadwinners. It can help cover the cost of replacing the services of stay-athome parents.

to your health

•Single parents. These individuals are typically the sole source of support for their children. Life insurance can help provide for children financially should their parent die. •Singles. Single individuals could be responsible for aging parents or may have significant debt. “Life insurance helps make sure those debts are paid,” Feldman says. •Retirees. Insurance can help replace income from part-time work, Social Security benefits, pensions or other employer benefits. It helps spouses continue living as they’re accustomed. •Empty nesters. Older adults may have custody of a grandchild or provide support for other family members. Life insurance may help this care to continue. •Business owners. Life insurance has many benefits for business owners, such as helping protect family members from taking on a person’s professional debt, or providing funds for survivors to buy out the deceased’s interest. What can it cover?

Beyond paying for final expenses, loved ones can put these death benefits toward: •Paying off debt •Financing an education •Settling estate taxes •Contributing to charity •Creating an inheritance •Replacing income •Replacing employer benefits Are there additional benefits? Some policies also offer living benefits. Whole policies and universal life policies accumulate value that can be tapped as retirement income or used to help cover unexpected expenses. Universal life policies also may have riders allowing chronically ill policyholders to withdraw the face amount during their lifetimes to help cover long-term care costs or to prepare loved ones financially before passing. Decide which type of policy best suits your need by calling Patrick at 928-7888 See more at: learningcenter.statefarm.com/insurance/life/do-you-really-need-life-insurance/#sthash. OEkOH4UW.dpuf

Breath, Back Pain and Core Stability BY JESSICA KISIEL

he respiratory diaphragm is the link between breath, back pain and core stability. The diaphragm is a skeletal muscle in the form of a sheet spanning the circumference of the torso. It separates the thoracic cavity containing the heart and lungs from the abdominal contents. It attaches to the sternum, rib cage and lumbar spine. The diaphragm is the primary muscle of inspiration, breath. Upon inhale, the diaphragm moves down toward the pelvis and flattens. Upon exhalation—breathing out air—the diaphragm moves back up into the rib cage and returns to its domed position. Why does poor breathing cause low back pain? For many people, the diaphragm does not fully re-dome upon exhalation and remains in a slightly flattened position. The lengthened diaphragm from an incomplete exhale moves the rib cage up and away from the spine. This lifted position of the chest and ribs pulls on the lumbar vertebrae and discs to which it is attached; thus, the arch of the lower back is increased. This upward-pulling action on the lumbar spine from the diaphragm is often combined with a downward tug on the lower back vertebrae and discs from tight hip flexors below. Many activities, including cycling, walking and running, which repeatedly flex the hip, can cause increased tension in the hip flexor muscles. Extended sitting also tightens hip flexors. These two opposing pulls on the lower spine can further exaggerate the arch in the low back, creating dangerous compressive forces, often resulting in disc injuries, spinal degeneration and muscle imbalances. How does the diaphragm produce core stability? Through pressure. When you inhale, the expansion of the diaphragm downward is countered by contraction of the transverse abdominis to the front, the multifi-

di (spine muscles) to the back and the pelvic floor (pelvic diaphragm) below. The increased intra-abdominal pressure creates a round core in your torso, which provides stability. If breathing is shallow, this pressure will not travel low enough to secure and protect the lumbar spine, leaving it vulnerable. So, your inner core is not one muscle, but four – the respiratory diaphragm, transverse abdominis, multifidus and the pelvic dia-

natural breathing pattern, resulting in a predominance for chest breathing. Practice natural breathing every day where you start by bringing the air into your lower lungs, expanding your ribs outward in all directions, just above the level of your belly. Next, allow the breath to move up toward the heart and finally into the chest. Envision a wave of air moving from your belly to your throat. Exhalation follows

phragm. Core stability is produced through pressure and the coordinated movement of these four muscles. If everything is working right, this system of muscles activates before you move to prevent compensations (muscles doing actions for which they were not intended). Moving from a strong, stable center allows efficient, painfree activity. Include diaphragm training in your exercise program.

A Railroad Ran Through It STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

t took John Lundin’s grandparents nearly three weeks to travel by wagon from Eureka, Nev., to Bellevue when they moved from the North-Central Nevada town in 1881. The railroad arrived in Bellevue and Hailey two years later, making it possible for people to travel to Boise in several hours. They could travel to New York in just seven days. “The railroad changed people’s lives,” said Lundin, whose grandparents Matt McFall and Isabel Campbell McFall built the International Hotel in Bellevue. “It made it possible, for instance, for the circus to come to town in 1884, bringing tigers and an elephant, which escaped and ran wild in the

At the center of the exhibition is Bruce Hathaway’s model railroad, which he built out of foam, using sagebrush for the trees. The Paul Tillotson Trio hammered out music that might have been heard on the Snowball Express that brought skiers to Sun Valley from Los Angeles. Lundin said the railroad addressed the problem miners found when thousands of people wanted to flock here in the wake of the area’s silver strike. “You couldn’t get here from there,” said Lundin. That was solved when the Utah-Northern built a line from Blackfoot, and another railroad

Perakos displayed his flair for the dramatic by staging a flutist near a life-sized statue in the foyer. The flutist greeted guests with “Meditation” from

In addition, the symphony offers a summer music workshop where students study under orchestra musicians and even special guest artists, such as Fleming. Midway into the evening, Perakos ushered guests into his home where their eyes trained past the European tapestries on the wall, the antique vases and busts, to the top of the sweeping staircase. There, Soprano Jennie Litster and Tenor Andrew Peck, a voice professor at BYU-Idaho, treated them to a couple of numbers. “Isn’t this reminiscent of ‘Romeo and Juliet?’” Sylvia Bunshoft observed as the duo’s notes reverberated from floor to 40-foot-high ceiling. “I spend time in San Francisco, and it’s so different there. Here it’s so intimate. In this community, you’re able to have a sense of the arts right on your doorstep.”

The idea behind the garden party, organized by Perakos and Sandy Bosley, was to honor supporters for their contributions and encourage them to keep it up. “Music gives us soul,” said Perakos, who first came to Sun Valley in 1973 as a college student. “Without beautiful music, we’re spectacularly short-changing ourselves. It’s clearly a gift from the gods.” Perakos has contributed his share to the arts—he was a child actor who participated in several Connecticut repertory theaters, particularly the Repertory Theater of New Britain. He went on to produce plays in London’s West End, including “A Moon for the Misbegotten” starring Kevin Spacey, and musical adaptations of “Ghost” and “Rebecca.”

The Sun Valley Symphony will kick off its 30th season with an In Focus Series, “Made in America,” on Monday, July 28. Soprano Renee Fleming will headline the gala benefit on Aug. 3. And a much-anticipated “Pixar in Concert” will be presented on Aug. 15.

Tapas To Highlight Wine Fest BY KAREN BOSSICK Tapas—those sophisticated appetizers that originated in Spain and have become popular around the world—will dominate the new Vine & Dine extravaganza Saturday evening put on by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. Along with wine, wine and more wine, of course! The Vine & Dine is a new twist to what was formerly the Concert Picnic that has always served as a climax to The Center’s Wine Auction Weekend. The picnic went from being one big, catered meal a few years ago to small meals served up by a handful of local restaurants. This year, several restaurants will each create a signature dish that tells the story of their restaurant. Ketchum Grill, for instance, will serve a Moroccan Lamb with yogurt sauce; Enoteca, a classic mountain dish with soft polenta and pork; The Haven, a vegetarian tostado; Zou 75, tuna tartare; Sawtooth Club, flat iron steak; and Rasberrys, a melon, chili and kale salad. John Murcko, head chef for Sun Valley, will prepare a sockeye salmon dish. Other participating restaurants include The Chocolate Mousse, Rolling in Dough, Cristina’s and Toni’s Ice Cream. There will be 15 stations—more than before. “The idea is to get people moving through the venue,” said Christine Davis-Jeffers, who is organizing the event. You can count on people circulating through the venue, what with 50 vintners pouring a

hundred or so special wines. A Vine & Dine Plus Pass allows early entry and indoor wine tasting from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. Pass holders can ask all the questions they like of vintners. The list of wines includes chardonnays that can’t be bought in stores, select wines from the Kota Browne Winery of Sebastopol, Calif., “incredible chardonnays and pinot noirs” from the Napa Valley’s Nickel & Nickel that are sometimes hard to get, said Davis-Jeffers. Other participants include the popular Hall Wines of Napa Valley, Doubleback Winery of Walla Walla, Wash., and local Frenchman’s Gulch Winery. Those who opt for General Entry admission will get their fill of tapas and wines served up by volunteers under the tent from 6-9 p.m. The Ballroom Thieves will perform high-energy folk/rock music. And everyone gets to take home a complimentary commemorative Riedel glass. Wine Auction 2014 kicks off Thursday evening with Dinners with the Vintners, featuring lavish dinners served up with selected wines in private homes. The Center’s Junior Patrons Circle will hold a Tapas and Tasting event from 7-10 p.m. that night at Globus restaurant in Ketchum. The Wine Auction Gala will be held from 5-10 p.m. on Friday underneath the tent outside Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. It will feature such auction lots including a heli-ski trip to British Columbia, trips to South America and the always popular Atkinsons’ Wine Lot.

The wine lot, now in its 20th year, will feature a winter scene created by Ketchum artist Jennifer Bellinger of Sun Valley spread across several wine bottles. Brian Sanders JUNK will provide a pogo stick ballet and other entertainment. The group will come back in March as part of The Center’s Winter Concert Series. Vine & Dine will complete the weekend on Saturday evening. The three-day celebration of wine provides half of the funding for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. The Center offered 364 programs last year, including school tours, Gallery Walks, theater programs, lecture series and two concert series. It also provided 42 scholarships for students and teachers to attend art programs outside the valley. Last year, the wine auction dinner alone raised more than a million dollars, said Davis-Jeffers. For more information, visit sunvalleycenter.org or call 208726-9491.

Ballroom Thieves

BY KAREN BOSSICK Martin Early insists that the name for his band, “The Ballroom Thieves,” came to him while nursing one of many cold beverages during the Newport Folk Festival a few years back. “I really like the imagery surrounding the name. Something about a group of thieves stealing necklaces and pocket watches at a fancy ball always seemed appealing to me,” said the singer/guitarist. The Ballroom Thieves don’t plan on stealing any necklaces or pocket watches at Sun Valley

Center for the Arts’ Vine & Dine on Saturday night. But they do hope to steal the hearts of those who turn out for The Center’s benefit wine tasting and tapas picnic at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. The three-piece rock band from Boston will start up its performance, which often resembles a tent revival, sometime after 6 p.m. The Thieves are starting to make major waves nationally, touring around the country. They just returned to the road after a month-long hiatus to record their first full-length LP, due out in 2015. “I think our instrumentation makes us unique,” said Early. “We feature organic percussion made up of a whole mess of different instruments, including a cello and big three-part harmonies. So we make a lot of noise for a three-piece band.” “We’ve all got different musical backgrounds so it’s nice to see three different influences come together to create something new. At least, that’s the hope!” Calin Peters plays cello and sings. Devin Mauch sings and plays a djembe, floor tom, cymbal and some gypsy leg bells, along with a slew of other small percussion accoutrements. His mix of unusual percussion instruments started out of necessity—college dorms are too small for a full drum set. But it’s resulted in some unique sounds, including those of Mauch taking an orchestral mallet to a djembe. Early draws from all sorts of influences when he writes, but most of his songs end up taking a turn down “personal” street. “I’m a firm believer in the idea that music is what the listener makes of it, so I hope our listeners can identify with the themes in our songs and kind of make them their own,” he said. “We love what we do and we’re fortunate to be able to do it.”
