THE PURPOSE OF PLACE BY DICK DORWORTH

“To be rooted is perhaps the most important but least understood need of the human soul.” —Simone Weil “Of all the memberships we identify ourselves by (racial, ethnic, sexual, national, class, age, religious, occupational), the one that is most forgotten, and has the greatest potential for healing, is place. We must learn to know, love and join our place even more than we love our own ideas. People who can agree that they share a commitment to the landscape/cityscape—even if they are otherwise locked in struggle with each other—have at least one deep thing to share.” —Gary Snyder

I

have an old friend, now in his 80s, who has lived since he was a child on the same piece of land in a beautiful valley of a western state framed by mountains. I once wrote a letter of congratulations to him—“for remaining rooted in place … There are few people in our culture who have this sort of good fortune, and having such deep roots has allowed you to grow in certainty from young agile boy with a smile looking for the next adventure to old bionic-kneed man with a smile looking for the next adventure.” During the years from childhood when his home was nearly 10 miles outside town, to the raising of his children, to playing with his grandchildren, that town has grown and surrounded and made a cityscape of the landscape of his youth. Still, his sense of place has allowed him to keep his priorities in order, his integrity intact and his sense of humor in operating shape. He has retired from a teaching career and has a sufficient but not extravagant lifestyle, and when a real estate developer offered him $14 million for his property, he turned it down. My friend said to me, “What would I do with $14 million? Move to Sun Valley and buy a condo? I like it here. I always have. This is my place.” My friend’s wisdom is both informative and inspiring, as are Weil’s and Snyder’s. A person rooted in place has a different experience and understanding of that place and thereby the larger world than one who is passing through to make the next step on the ladder of upward mobility, looking to crash as gently as possible after falling off that ladder, moving to the next job, following the restlessness of disaffection to the next layover or being pushed off place by rising prices. “Place,” as used here, is not to be confused with property and it need not be a particular dwelling or tiny or humongous parcel of land within either landscape or cityscape. Roberta McKercher’s place was Hailey, Idaho. Mary Jane Conger’s

he view from the rock cliff above Trail Creek Road is a stunning one. The open canyon below sweeps downhill into green hills overlooking Sun Valley and Ketchum. Baldy looms in the background, its ski runs forming what look like a peace sign. And a long waterfall cascades from the cliffs, gushing into Trail Creek, which splashes over granite rock to the valley floor. But Liza Wilson isn’t interested in the scenery around her. She’s fixated on one thing only—the craggy rock in front of her. “You have to stay focused on what’s in front of you, or you’ll lose it,” she says as she clips a rope into a carabiner placed in a crack so a climber below can stop her should she fall. Wilson scours the rock with her myopic viewpoint looking for a tiny crack in which to insert her fingers and a small ledge on which to place her toe. She’s crammed her foot into a rubber climbing shoe two sizes smaller than the shoes she normally wears to increase her sensitivity. Finally, she finds a sliver of rock jutting out an eighth of an inch. She Dick Dorworth’s pack incudes a cheat pole puts her foot on it and leverages her leg and carabiners.

Retail Hell BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

B

ecause this is a year-round resort town and we’re dependent on our visitors’ dollars, many of us find ourselves catering to tourists by working as a clerk or cashier. The hours are long, the action is brisk and the customer is always right. Welcome to the world of retail hell. Grocery clerks seem to be exposed to the worst of rude behavior the most. Strangers waiting in line to give up their money in many cases do not make for a very happy shopping experience. In past seasons, with long lines of wealthy people who are not used to shopping for themselves, some unpleasant scenes have arisen. In every instance, our local retail workers must take the brunt of this unpleasantness. A case in point occurred just a week ago at a local grocery about 6 p.m. when a tall man from California bought four six-packs of beer and a bag of ice and insisted in a belligerent tone that each six-pack be individually wrapped. Then he tossed the ice at the cashier who leaned over to catch the heavy bag and sprained her neck and shoulders. The man was well over 6 feet tall and towered over the 5-foot2-inch cashier. Several locals in line at the time expressed their disapproval of this crass individual and two men extended promises of bodily harm. A floor manager was called to restore order and demanded the “shopper” pay his bill and leave. He scurried out quickly while being followed by some concerned citizens. I have no idea what happened after that. These types of incidents seem to happen in the heat of the summer when outsiders try to throw their weight around. Although tempers are rapidly cooled, the effects on the cashiers and clerks linger. This all hits close to home to many of us who have family members and friends involved in these incidents. It seems these boorish travelers find it necessary to bring their big-city behavior to beautiful places in the world and intimidate the native retail workers. It stinks and I am baffled by the rate of increase in this type of behavior. Let’s all be patient when we find ourselves in line at a retail establishment during rush hour and give some love to the members of the retail community. These are people we know. These are our neighbors. They are part of our family in the Wood River Valley. Nice talking to you.

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.

lex Harten, a Community School senior, is a very busy young woman. Besides carrying a 3.91 grade point average and being a world-class ice skater, Harten is also student body president, a member of the Wood River Land Trust Youth Council, a former member of the Sun Valley City Youth Council, a founder of the Community School Debate Team and a future politician. Born in Sacramento, Calif., Harten moved to the Wood River Valley when she was 6 months old and started at the Community School in preschool. “I started skating when I was 5 years old,” she said. “I was at a friend’s birthday skating party and there was a famous skater there. She told me I could be in the Sun Valley Ice Show in the Splish Splash number and it was just fantastic. They dressed us up as rubber duckies and I loved it. The last

“I started skating when I was 5 years old,” she said. “I was at a friend’s birthday skating party and there was a famous skater there. She told me I could be in the Sun Valley Ice Show in the Splish Splash number and it was just fantastic.” -Harten show I got pneumonia at two in the morning and I begged my mom to let me go because it meant so much to me. I also took

to performing right away and was so comfortable being in front of an audience.” Today, Harten teaches young children to skate at the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club. “The kids are 4-7 years old and there are anywhere from 5-15 kids in the class and we meet once a week in the fall and spring. My coach used to teach the class and then I took over. We learn the basic tricks like one-foot glides and the kids’ favorite—fishies. The classes run for about half an hour because it can be hard when there are about 15 of them, but they are so cute. Most of them perform in the ice show during the kids’ number.” Of course, Harten also competes herself, mostly in show skating. “I have also competed in free skating, which is what you see in the Olympics, which is a very technical routine with jumps and spins. Show skating is more performance.” She went to nationals last year and won in the novice ladies level—one level below competing in the world and Olympics. “It was so great to win, especially because my close friend won also in free skating. Next year I plan to skate in show and have hopes of being in the Sun Valley show and to work on cruise ships. To me, it’s all about the performance because I love being on stage and in front of people. Practice is not that much fun, but the shows sure are. Sometimes I get nervous, especially with free skating, but more often than not it’s just excitement, which can be a good thing. Once I get out there, everything is great.” Her hopes are to attend Brown University where she can continue to skate and compete. Her real dream is to become a politician. “My mom is a lawyer and since I was little I learned to argue my point,” she says with a laugh. “Then I fell in love with West Wing and now want to intern in Washington. I’m really interested in foreign policy and international relations and studied it last year at Stanford in summer school. I just want to help people. There are just a lot of instances where people could benefit from someone on their side.” tws

2014 Tour de France Update

“Each year we trimmed back and the garden grew more lustrous and untamable, as if the eternal woods and animals sleep at night in its beds, claiming it back.” —Poet Jill Bialosky

T

he spring/early summer show is over. Now comes the irrational, exuberant hangover. All that energy is now going to seed. A garden always prepares for its future. The chores of the present are an investment in that future. I say this because I see an ideology of ‘present moment’ myopia which ignores the tethers of times past and yet to come. The flax and the oxeyes have to be cut down. They’ll make a modest return later on. Some plants die back gracefully, but these remain and can prevent the smaller wildflowers from getting their spot in the sun. Just like a wildfire allows the undergrowth to flourish, the seeded annuals can sprout beside the taller lilies, hollyhock, wild mallow, sunflowers, clem-

room table for an hour or two. Most of these delicate charmers are not common. They like semi-shade (six hours of sun), basic garden soil and steady but light watering. (Remember, containers need more water!) An organic, slow-release NPK 3-3-3 is perfect for them. Works for veggies, too. Seeds are available from Wildseedfarms.com in Texas. Peaceful Valley (GrowOrganic.com) has an outstanding selection of natural plant foods for farm and garden. Territorialseed. com is also excellent. I dislike things being done for me, unless it’s national defense and road building. I hate digital cameras. I think better and faster than they do. Seed mixes are similar to seasoning mixes. The focus is on profit. Spice mixes are loaded with salt, which many Americans confuse with flavor. Most are so salty I can barely taste the underlying spices. Like with seed mixes, I make my own. Salt is cheap, so you get a lot of it. Stay in control of your destiny.

n Italian may lead and win the Tour, but the French can cheer for their crop of strong, young riders (Rolland, Pinot, Bardet, Peraud) that may lead to a renaissance of French cycling long dominated by everyone but them. This was the last of the low-mountain/ steep-gradient stages. Alberto Contador, a pre-Tour favorite, spilled and broke his tibia. With two of the favorites eliminated, it became a wide open race, up for grabs. So it was thought. Vincenzo Nibali kept his lead, and it was his Tour to lose. He finished third and padded his lead over his rivals. Stage 13, St. Etienne to Chamrousse The race headed into the high Alps for two days, past Grenoble, the capitol of the French Alps, site of the 1968 Winter Olympics and three gold medals for Jean Claude Killy. Perhaps unwisely, the race began at a very fast pace. The teams with the contenders were organized and at the head of the peloton. The day featured two grueling,

eight-plus-mile climbs with gradients of 8 to 11 percent. The riders also had to contend with sudden 90-degree temperatures. Some bodies don’t adjust well, or fast enough. On the descent into Grenoble, Nebali’s “helper,” the indispensable Jakob Fuglsang, had a nasty spill and could no longer ride in support of the leader. An isolated rider is a vulnerable rider. These climbs destroy lead packs and pelotons. It’s as if an angry god were throwing rocks at the riders, picking them off one by one. As it turned out, the ascent to Chamrousse broke up every team, and none of the contenders (Valverde, Porte, Van Garderen) had their helpers. With 10 kilometers (six miles) to go, Nibali attacked, shook off Valverde, caught the two breakaway riders, won his third stage, grabbed the lead in the King of the Mountains points, and padded his lead over Valverde by 45 seconds. w Stage 14, Chamrousse to Risoul The ride went along the border with Italy. The challenge was the Col d’Izoard at 7,700 feet, the highest

point on this year’s Tour. The last six miles was an 8.5 percent grade, similar to Teton Pass. Once again, the teams began to break up. Hurting, Fuglsang still helped Nibali until the last three miles. The contenders started to drop back, unable to keep pace with the winner, the young Pole, Rafal Marka. Nibali attacked again, but had to settle for second, 32 seconds behind, but another 40 seconds ahead of his rivals. He’s riding these last few kilometers of mountain stages as if he were shot out of a cannon. The Tour enters its last week. It’s a flat ride to Nimes, a rest day in Carcasonne west of the Riviera, then it’s on to the Pyrenees and the last great challenge, the Plat d’Adet, on Wednesday, July 23. This route crosses the pilgrim’s trail to Santiago de Compastela. There are some Idahoans heading to the Feast of St. James, and they, like Peggy Goldwyn a couple of years ago, walked the whole route.

atis and bachelor’s buttons (cornflower). Some of the latter, usually a reseeding annual, came back as plants ready to go—much larger, like bushes. Winter must not have been cold enough. A lot of annuals reseed, but won’t sprout because of the winter, like the charming scarlet flax. It’s easy enough to just sprinkle some seeds on the ground in April. When buying seeds, avoid mixes, if at all possible; they are always overloaded with fillers, with the common at the expense of the less so. Make your own mix and get just what you want. This also works for containers, which I’m using more and more. My favorites are dwarf cosmos, tidy tips, scarlet flax, five spot, African daisies, baby blue eyes, baby’s breath and the common johnny jump-ups. A small container of these is transportable to a dining

Symphony To Kick Off On Sunday BY KAREN BOSSICK

T year.

he Sun Valley Summer Symphony is celebrating being 30 years young this

And it doesn’t get much younger than the night of Aug. 15 when the symphony parades scenes from Pixar cartoons like “The Incredibles,” “Cars,” “Finding Nemo” and “Brave” across screens set up inside the Pavilion and outside on the lawn. It’s hip. It’s young. It’s what you’d see at the Hollywood Bowl. “We have never performed a piece that accompanied video before. And we’ve never put

a screen inside the Pavilion,” said Jennifer Teisinger, the symphony’s executive director. “To put a screen inside the pavilion is a very, very big deal. And it’s not cheap. But it’s absolutely necessary.” The Sun Valley Symphony season kicks off on Sunday with the first of four chamber music concerts focusing on music made in America. A gala benefit featuring Renee Fleming will be held at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 3. The regular concert season featuring the full orchestra starts Aug. 4 and runs through Aug. 19. The four-part In Focus

Series is actually “Made in America Part 1.” “Once we started planning a survey of America music, we realized four concerts were inadequate,” said Alasdair Neale, music director for the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. “So we’ll have Part 2 next year.” The opening night’s performance on Monday will include contemporary American composer John Adams’ “Hallelujah Junction,” which Adams wrote about a tiny town in the Sierras, and Aaron Kernis’ Air for Cello and Chamber Orchestra. Also, Bates’ “Stereo is King,” Higdon’s “Southern Harmony” and Puts’ “Simaku.” Tuesday’s concert is the one you don’t want to miss,

“Hallelujah” and “Shenandoah.” They will appear with special guest vocalist Joshua Radin. “Everyone who saw Time for Three last year went away saying, ‘When can we get another dose of that?’ ” Neale said. “They’re back sooner than you might think!” And they’ll be back for the next two years, as well, as they work with the symphony on a multi-year project, added Teisinger. Joshua Radin is “young,

ers will be sorry they missed it because they weren‘t here yet.” The third concert in the series on July 31 focuses on minimalism and will include John Adams’ excerpts from “Shaker Loops” for string orchestra. It also will feature the premiere of Sun Valley Symphony Orchestra percussionist Joe Thompkins’ “4 Mbiras.” The piece will feature an African thumb piano. The series finale on Aug. 1 will focus on “The Pioneers” or the roots of American music. It will include Aaron Copland’s Suite from “Appalachian Spring,” Charles Ives’ excerpts from “Three Places in New England” and Samuel Barber’s “Knoxville: Summer of 1915.” All four In Focus concerts begin at 6 p.m. in the outdoor Sun Valley Pavilion. All symphony concerts, except for the Renee Fleming benefit, are free. Information: svsummersymphony.org. tws

Movie Review

‘Begin Again’

Once Again

JON RATED THIS MOVIE BY JONATHAN KANE

S

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

o what exactly is wrong with feeling good at a movie? That’s really the only problem with John Carney’s new movie “Begin Again” that is his follow-up to the low-budget sensation Once that he also wrote and directed and which has been turned into a hit Broadway play. “Begin Again” is about two people in the music business starting over in their lives and careers and is definitely in the supposedly dreaded “feel good” category of movies, like the recent indie hit film Chef. So what. Go out and see it. Keira Knightley plays one-half of a songwriting team with Adam Levine, who is unceremoniously dumped when they both arrive in America and his career takes off. On the night she is to leave for England, she performs in an East Village dive in New York City, only to be seen by the extremely charming Mark Ruffalo—a music industry exec that has just been fired that day and whose life is hanging by a thread. Overwhelmed by her talent, he seeks to resuscitate his failed career by producing her album in an interesting concept—recording outdoors all over the city. Although it appears that this is a cliché love story, thankfully the characters never come together except to form an extremely successful musical partnership. Ruffalo also comes to terms with his ex-wife Catherine Keener and his rebellious young daughter, played by Hailee Steinfeld, who was so sensational as the young girl in the Coen Brothers’ “True Grit.” Casey has crafted another winner here although it might not have the legs of “Once”. The music, although not excellent, is still pretty good, and Knightley’s vocals are a true surprise from an actor that keeps getting better and better. Also a surprise is Levine’s acting chops that show quite a lot of promise. What can you say about Ruffalo? The guy is naturally great and does nothing to disappoint in this fine new film. tws

‘Noxious Weed Department?! What’s That?!’ That is something we hear often at the county. And we’re here to say that, yes, Blaine County does have a very serious noxious weed problem and a very helpful noxious weed department. The mission of the Blaine County Weed Department (BCWD) is to protect Blaine County and its property owners from the harmful impacts of noxious weeds. We do this through outreach and education—we work to educate the public and landowners about noxious weeds and the best ways to manage them. We also get to work with land managers from across the county and are lucky to have great partnerships with the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, The Nature Conservancy, Wood River Land Trust, Environmental Resource Center and Blaine County Recreation District, among many others! Should it

be discovered that you have noxious weeds on your property, you may receive a friendly letter from the BCWD letting you know what species of weed was found and some ideas on how to control it (remember, it is state law that landowners control the noxious weeds on their property). We encourage you to call the BCWD if you receive such a letter and talk to us about a management plan—but please remember, there is no yelling in noxious weed mitigation! The “least best” thing to do is ignore a letter from the BCWD—the weeds aren’t going away and neither are we! We have equipment and sprayers available for use, resource books, and can empathize how knapweed seems to multiple overnight. We are a great resource for chemical, mechanical, or

biological control. So yes, Blaine County does have a weed department and we are looking out for you and your land. We hope you will work with us. We encourage everyone to do their part in the fight against noxious weeds. Stop by and see us in the Blaine County Annex building Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., give us a call at 788-5516, or find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/bccwma.

RadioShack

Wood River Electronics LAYNE JENSEN

R

adioShack has been in the Valley for 16 years—since 1998. Layne Jensen started out his life in a completely different direction. He was in the military, in the U.S. Air Force, and then worked as a firefighter for the U.S. Forest Service. He was on a break from fighting forest fires and working in Jackpot, Nev., when he met his wife. He had his bags packed and ready to jump back in to fighting fires when they heard the report of the Colorado fires where 16 firefighters lost their lives. Now that Layne was in love and had much more to lose, he had to reevaluate the priorities in his life. He took a job at RadioShack in Buhl and moved to Burley RadioShack and then he bought his store in the Wood River Valley—RadioShack/Wood River Electronics.

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

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

Congratulations to Jeanne Cassell & Peggy Grove

Layne has over 24 years of technical knowledge working for RadioShack. He enjoys working with the interesting people of the Valley; he likes learning the new technology but, in all, he said, “It really hasn’t changed in the last 30 years. Sure, technology is faster and smaller but, all in all, it is the same.” He can remember sending his first e-mail in 1984 in the military. Cellphones came out in the early 1970s and CDs were the first digital storage format back in the early ’80s. Many people do not remember when things were invented. When I asked what were some of the most requested items at RadioShack, Layne said a few were Internet equipment, routers and home phones. Many people do not carry home phones anymore. I know; I love having a landline for my children to access in case of an emergency. RadioShack has seen an increase in car stereo sales. If you purchase a car stereo from RadioShack, they will install it for free! Layne credits his last three years’ worth of “Best in the Valley” for electronic store awards to building relationships with his customers. Shopping in our Valley is special because we have the opportunity to actually get to know the business owners and their families. We are all interconnected in a way. RadioShack has a policy to price match all pricing, even from online sources. This helps to maintain that strong professional relationship with Layne’s customers. RadioShack has a wonderful program working with the youth of America. Every week they put out a new “How To Do It Together” project. Layne has printed weekly projects but you can also go online, look up other projects, or submit your ideas and enter them into a contest where many of the ideas are then turned into the “weekly projects.” One idea that sounded exciting to me was a droned metal detector. Can you imagine the fun at the beach with such a device? For all your technical, home electronics, car or toy needs, stop by and visit with Layne.

Business After Hours Heat Up KETCHUM STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he Sawtooth Brewery is on the verge of building a new production factory in downtown Ketchum. The new facility would include not only a place to drink beer, which the brewery currently has, but a small onsite restaurant, as well. The renovation project would have a $1 million economic impact, Brewery co-owner Paul Holle told those attending the last Ketchum Business After Hours (BAH) networking event. Holle told fellow business people that his handcrafted beer is distributed across southern Idaho from Pocatello to McCall. And that proved a good thing when the Beaver Creek Fire all but shut down the Wood River Valley last August. “We didn’t deliver a single keg of beer locally for three weeks during the fire. But we were still selling beer all over Idaho,” Holle said. Sawtooth Brewery is the No. 1 selling craft brand locally, he said, adding that recently introduced bottled beers have been a huge success. Even Sun Valley Resort has recognized the value of local beer, including Sawtooth Brewery beers among its offerings. “It sells and it’s local,” Holle said. “And the money from you and the beer stays here and is reinvested.” Those attending the BAH got a tour of Sun Valley’s state-ofthe-art laundry, which opened in April 2013, after the old laundry burnt to the ground. Attendees looked on with awe at the hydraulic press, which squeezes water out of clothes

and linens, and the press which grabs a sheet automatically and presses it. They watched other machines that fold sheets and pillows, compressing them into plastic packages. The new state-of-the-art wash machines save water, able to rinse five loads before needing to regenerate water. The old machines dumped 200 gallons of water every time they did a load of wash, said Michael Crotty, the resort’s executive housekeeper. Sun Valley currently runs one shift. If it gets busier, it will simply add another shift, like it used to, if it gets busier, Crotty said. Resort managers hope the machines will last at least 25 years at the current rate. The laundry can process a hundred pounds of laundry an hour. And Sun Valley’s looking to do more with local hotels, restaurants, even individuals, saving some a trip to Twin Falls. Guests can turn in laundry at 9 a.m. and get it back by 5 that day. There’s a three- to four-day turnaround for locals. “We do have a one-day turnaround for a slightly higher rate,” Crotty said. The next Ketchum/Sun Valley Business After Hours will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 30, on the patio of the UPS office on East Avenue. Snacks and drinks will be provided. There is a suggested $5 donation per person and there will be several brief business-related presentations. Neuhoff Communications will also give away a $1,500 advertising package that will cover a 30-second commercial on KSVT-Fox 14 TV. Information: Gary Hoffman at 725-5522.

HAILEY

K

risty Heitzman could scarcely contain her excitement as she described the newest event to hit Hailey this year. That would be Mexican bull riding “Gran Jaripeo.” As Heitzman described it, it was an authentic Mexican bull riding event allowing both Mexican and non-Mexican vaqueros to test their mettle against tough ornery beasts. The event, held Sunday evening at the Hailey rodeo grounds, featured Mexican music, food and contests for children and adults. It’s just one of the many summer events lined up this summer in Hailey, Heitzman told 140 people nibbling on Wiseguy Pizza and Veggie Evolution kale chips at the monthly Hailey Business After Hours in The Hunger Coalition’s Hope Garden Thursday. Other events include Paint the Town, a fun run in which runners will get doused with paint, on July 26, and Hailey Ice’s Rockin’ the Rink event at 6 p.m. July 31 at Wertheimer Park near the rodeo grounds. The event will feature free burgers and ’dogs from Grumpy’s, drinks from Atkinsons’ and ice cream from Yellow Belly, along with music by Tylor Bushman and friends. Ride Idaho will bring 300 cyclists to Hailey for two days Aug. 6-7. The highlight will be a

free street dance featuring the 10-piece High Street Band in their zoot suits playing dance music from the decades at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 6 in Hailey’s downtown. The annual Ray Nelson Invitational baseball tournament will bring 32 teams to town July 25-26. PBR will bring its bulls back to Hailey at 8 p.m. July 25. The Kiwanis will stage their car show Aug. 2 in Roberta McKercher Park. The Smithsonian will kick off its “HomeTown Teams” exhibit with a kick-off party July 29 at Hailey’s Welcome Center on the rodeo grounds. And the Northern Rockies Music Festival will hold their 37th annual festival Aug. 1 and 2. Doug Brown, who recently merged Wood River Economic Partnership with Sun Valley Economic Development, is lining up takers for the Business Showcase that the Hailey Chamber and Zions Bank plan to put together in November. And Heitzman said that next year’s Fourth of July Parade will be themed Days of the Old West. “We plan to raise the purse for floats. We want more floats in the parade,” she said. US Bank and Webb Nursery will co-host the next BAH from 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 21. tws

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 is Ketchum. John Muir’s was the Sierra Nevada. Another old

friend, writer/photographer Peter Miller’s, is Colbyville, Vermont. Jane Goodall’s is Tanzania. Han Shan’s was Cold Mountain. The Dalai Lama’s is the Potala, which he has not seen since 1959. And Gary Snyder wrote of his place, “I set up my library and wrote poems and essays by lantern light, then went out periodically, lecturing and teaching around the country. I thought of my home as a well-concealed base camp from which I raided university treasuries. We named our place Kitkitdizze after the aromatic little shrub.” There are those who are only at home and at peace with themselves (and committed and attuned to place) in the mountains; others, on the sea; and still others, upon the rivers that connect them. For Wilfred Thesiger, it was the southern Arabian desert. In the late 1940s he was one of the first Europeans to even see what was then known as the Empty Quarter, and he titled the book he wrote about his experiences and sense of

the place “Arabian Sands.” One description of Thesiger’s work reads, “It is a book of touches, little things—why the Bedouin will never predict the weather (“since to do so would be to claim knowledge that belongs to God”), how they know when the rabbit is in its hole and can be caught. It is written with great respect for these people and with an understanding that acknowledges its limits; with humility, that is, which is appropriate. Fail the humility test, and the desert will surely kill you.” Today, the Empty Quarter is filled with oil wells, Land Rovers and people passing through with a notable lack of sense of place or humility. It might be said, Fail the humility test of sense of place, whether the place be a plot of land, a river, mountain, sea or neighborhood, and it will surely kill at the very least some essential part of the soul. If you have a sense of place, treat it with respect. If you don’t, start looking. tws

lfred Binet, famous inventor of the intelligence test, stated, “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” Late bloomers will be happy to hear this. There are intellectual concepts or social-emotional skills that just don’t synch early for everyone and take experience over time to acquire. Genetics, conditioning, family values all influence how people develop, of course, but the most significant indication of success is the way people process failure, now called mindset. After 20 years of studies, Caroline Dweck demonstrated that success isn’t about intelligence, money, or personality traits, as once thought. Her findings showed that mindsets determine achievements in parenting, business, school, athletics, artistic expression, or relationships, regardless of age. She coined the terms “fixed mindset” and “growth mindset” to described opposing mental outlooks to help explain how people differ when faced with challenges. Dweck noted that a fixed-mindset individual believes that personal qualities are set, as if people are born

with a limited amount of intelligence, ability, or charm. Coming from this belief in scarcity, fixed mindsets tend to avoid risky challenges because it could show they do not have enough of the right stuff to create success. They avoid anything that could be met with failure. When they falter, they feel like an idiot, loser, or believe everyone is better than them. Playing it safe in their comfort zones becomes a way of life. Growth-mindset folks, in contrast, become more successful in life mainly because they do not personalize failure. Instead, each situation is just a moment of learning, not a moment of ultimate truth. When they fail, they do not internalize it to mean that they have a lack of skill, luck, or talent. Instead, they prefer to figure out what is needed to meet the challenge at hand. Growth-mindset individuals push forward, approach again from a different angle, or let it go without condemning themselves. This results in a pattern of taking risks—the signature action of growth that eventually leads to achievement. Edison is an example of a growth-mindset individual. He made 3,000 attempts before he created

a worthy light bulb, which means he failed 2,999 times without giving up. The good news is that this open attitude and action pattern for success can be learned. When fixed-mindset people realize that they can process failure without beating themselves up, they become open to learning. The message became clear to Dweck: You choose your mindset. One can change from fixed to growth mindset using effort and determination and become more successful in most areas of life. The key is to seek challenges that stretch skills, talents, connection to others, and learning, while accepting that failure does not define who you are; it is only a temporary setback. The next time you hesitate to try something new or change something in yourself, ask yourself: What do I have to gain? Doing more of the same brings the same results over and over. Intention on growth produces growth. Here’s to opening minds to reach higher levels of success.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JULY 23 FROM PICABO ANGLER

E

xpect another great week of fishing, as flows remain high enough in most rivers to provide excellent opportunity prior to the low summer flows that will eventually bring many fisheries to a more technical point. On Silver Creek, the fishing remains incredible in the mornings and right on into the lunch hour. The Silver Creek Preserve remains closed to fishing until 10 a.m. but the rest of the creek is open and the hatches and spinner falls have been fabulous. The mornings are bringing varying degrees of Trico activity, followed promptly by Baetis and PMD flurries. Once this action ends, anglers can immediately cut back their leaders and tie on Blue Damsel patterns. This has been a very good fly in the late mornings and afternoons. The Big Wood and Upper Lost River are fishing very well right now, with a slight lean toward becoming low-light fisheries. The mornings and evenings are producing rising fish and the afternoons become a time to search with big dries and maybe a dropper underneath. The Lower Lost is fishing well and earlier in the season than most years. The low flows mean easier access for anglers. Small nymphs like Pheasant Tails and Red Copper Johns are producing nicely. Have a variety of sizes in Parachute Adams if you go, as well. Skating Crane flies is another exciting way to fish the Lost. We are carrying the new foam-bodied Mackay Special here at Picabo Angler, and if you haven’t fished it, we recommend you give this a try! The Little Wood is a river we haven’t written about much this season, as the recent fires and low flows have made the desert stretch a non-event and the upstream waters above Little Wood Reservoir have a seemingly small population of fish this summer. It’s still a great place to go for some quietude and to cast big dry flies to fair-sized fish. The South Fork of the Boise has been fishing very well. The Pink Albert hatch has been coming on stronger and with a few stoneflies, hoppers and cicadas, the banks are fishing well on some days. There is still no camping allowed and the access points are different and dictated by new rapids, so fewer anglers are floating than in years past. The weekdays can be a very good time to explore the South Fork. The float from the Village Put In down to Indian Rock has been a good bet. If you go, be safe and scout the water before you float it! Happy fishing, everyone!

Shavit Shares Words Of Wisdom On Israel STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

BY KAREN BOSSICK

A

ri Shavit’s family enjoyed a weekend’s worth of the peace Sun Valley offers as the Israeli journalist spoke at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference. But as Shavit spoke Sunday night, he was cognizant that his family would soon return to a homeland that has been rocked by violence, with Hamas militants even entering his country through tunnels to attack kibbutzim (farm communities). Shavit told a full house of more than 1,500 people packed in the Sun Valley Pavilion that two weeks ago he went to his sons’ nursery and told the children they might hear something they’d never heard before—sirens. Two days later, they did. It was one of a handful of times Shavit has heard them, he said. Usually, as with the 1991 Gulf War, there is little physical destruction to Israel. But the psychological fear of chemical weapons during that conflict went deep. “To see my two sons about to join in this sad, tragic ritual of Israel’s sad, tragic tradition makes me sad,” he added, referring to Israel’s mandatory military service. Shavit, who received a standing ovation from the audience, said he avoided making his newly published book, “My Promised Land: The Triumph and Tragedy of Israel,” political or polemic. Instead, he sought to focus on the human aspects. “Israel is a remarkable human endeavor, for better or worse,”

he said. It started with people like his great-grandfather who left London—the “capital of the world” at the time—to lay the foundation for the state of Israel because they recognized that life in Europe was becoming increasingly precarious for Jews. They were too late, Shavit added: Had they built the nation of Israel 20 years earlier, they could have saved millions of people. Unfortunately, these people did not see the Palestinian villagers in their midst, nor did the Palestinians see them. “This mutual blindness affects the ongoing 100-year war, which is the tragedy of my life,” he said. The Israel of the 1950s was “truly remarkable,” Shavit said, as it absorbed a multitude of immigrants—even Arab refugees. Many of those who settled Israel had lost their entire families in the Holocaust, he added, yet they did not become suicide bombers or fire rockets into Germany. “They did their best to move forward, build an education for their kids…” But, he added, Israel has lost its way in some respects as it deals with the tension between 8 million Israelites and 366 million Arabs. Shavit added that he is optimistic that a new solution will eventually replace the two-state solution. “What we must remember is that life under Zionism is much better for the average Arab than life in an Arab state,” he added. tws

L

overs of words gathered this week to explore the world of story—from biblical and Greek tragedies to modern tales of those who have survived tsunamis and the turmoil in the Middle East—at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference. It was the 20th anniversary of the conference, which started with 12 writers and 108 people in the audience.

each of us has at the end of our lives is our personal story. John Lewis has his about civil rights and Ari Shavit has his about what it’s like to live “in the Promised Land,” she said.

“It’s a remarkable experience to bring these kinds of writers to Sun Valley and to hear the ideas they have to share,” -Eidsmo

“It’s a remarkable experience to bring these kinds of writers to Sun Valley and to hear the ideas they have to share,” she said. “We have a fabulous program this year. We tried very hard to get a good variety, from Pulitzer Prize winner A. Scott Berg, who wrote a biography on Woodrow Wilson, to actors like Brian O’Byrne and Hector Elizondo who will read scenes from the ‘Book of Job’ as a way to explore how humans react when bad things happen to good people.” Detective writer Ridley Pearson, a partial local who was there for the first writers’ conference, started the conference off with humorist Dave Barry. “I love to come to the “My Promised Land” Author Ari Shavit spoke conference and stay in on “the triumph and tragedy” of Israel on a 50,000-square-foot Sunday. cabin,” quipped Barry. “And every year we have a theme—last year’s was ‘EvacThe conference’s executive uation is Mandatory,’ ” he said, director, Robin Eidsmo, who has been with the conference for each referring to the cancellation of the conference by the Beaver of its 20 years, told 1,500 people Creek Fire. in the Sun Valley Pavilion on The two described how they opening night that the one thing

get their ideas—“Dave gets his at Walmart. I prefer Target,” Pearson said. Barry told a different story, recounting the time Pearson went into Atkinsons’ and began ruminating about how a person could hide poison in the coffee beans, people would grind them, take them home and no one would ever be able to trace it The two met as part of the Rock Bottom Remainders, a rock and roll band of authors formed to raise money for charity. Pearson recounted how novelist Amy Tan, a member of the group, joked that even if the cause were more macabre, she’d still enjoy playing with the band. “We had so much fun, Amy Tan said ‘Raise money for charities! I’d do this to kill the whales!” he said. The band is talented, too, Barry offered: “Every once in a while a rumor goes around that there might have been a chord change.” “Peter and the Starcatchers”— the two men’s book explaining Peter Pan—not only received five Tony Awards for the play version, but an astronaut asked permission to read it to her son in Houston every night, Skyping it from the International Space Station. “She called and it’s the one time I’ve ever been able to tell people, ‘Shut up! I’m getting a call from outer space,’ ” Pearson said. Among those in attendance this year: six scholars from the Los Angeles-based Fulfillment Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making college a reality for students growing up in educationally and economically deprived communities. “I never dreamed I would meet the writers whose work I loved dearly,” said former scholar Jasmeen Singh of her Sun Valley experience. “Their minds are so brilliant and they are so kind to share their wonderful stories.” tws

he shock to America’s economic system in the first five weeks of the 2008 recession was five times greater than that of the Great Depression, former Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner said Sunday. Geithner told a sold-out audience of more than 1,500 people at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference that analysts also expected three times more businesses to fail in the beginning. Geithner was the principal architect of the Obama administration’s strategy to avert economic collapse and reform the financial system. He just published “Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crises,” a behind-thescenes account of the time. In a conversation with histo-

rian Liquat Ahamed, Geithner noted that he had had the opportunity to witness several financial crises in countries like Japan, Mexico and Russia before the United States encountered its own. The real problem is not what you do in advance but what you do or fail to do when they happen, he said. Sometimes the only option is to throw enough money at something to break the panic, rather than let a spot fire go on a rampage, he added. “The problem is it looks like you’re giving money to arsonists. People hate that, and that’s understandable. It adds to the anger,” he said. “But if you ignore it and let it burn, you’re going to have more trouble. It’s hard to convince people that it could have been drastically worse.”

Geithner, who recreated his book from memory with help from some of his cohorts, said intervention was essential, even moral, to save people’s savings and jobs. Conversely, he said, the response to foreclosure was “pathetic.” Even in 2007 people continued buying real estate with the idea that the recession would be short and shallow, he added. Questions from the audience made it clear that people haven’t forgotten the anger that manifested itself during and following the crisis. The reason people weren’t jailed is that, while the stuff they did was damaging, it wasn’t clearly illegal, Geithner said. As for the obscene salaries bankers continued to draw following the bailout? “There’s no defense,” he said. tws

Conference Quotes

“Even Monday morning after Lehman Brothers failed, the Wall Street Journal and New York Times celebrated it as the right thing to do. The great credit to our system is that it reversed course quickly.” — Former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner. “I was captivated by ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ at age 11. I decided if it was that exciting to read a novel, how much more exciting it must be to write a novel.” —Scott Turow, a Chicago lawyer who has been credited with creating the legal thriller genre with his book “Presumed Innocent.” “I can’t (recuse) myself from the Supreme Court (due to conflict of interest and that sort of thing). That would leave the court with eight judges, and I don’t want to let lawyers manipulate the court.” —Associate Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, author of “Active Liberty” and “Making Our Democracy Work.”

“I grew up in San Francisco and practiced law in Boston. But I’ve never seen the kid of disagreement that I did when I got to Washington, D.C.” —Associate Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, author of two books concerning the U.S. Constitution and the Supreme Court’s role in interpreting it. tws

Upon reaching the rock face, they spend a few minutes studying it, trying to figure out how to take advantage of a long vertical scar in the rock. “I’d say that’s about 5.9,” calculates the Czech Republic climber Koubek, referring to the Yosemite Decimal System, which rates climbs according to slope, quantity and quality of handholds, distance between holds and whether technical maneuvers are required. An easy beginner route is rated 5.0; 5.15 is as tough as it gets. Each climber pulls on a special harness to which they can attach the climbing rope that will catch them in case of a fall. Dorworth lines his belt with the number of metal carabiners he estimates he will place in cracks for safe passage on the wall. Dorworth, whose fitness belies his 75 years, gets first dibs on the wall. His job is to affix the carabiners that will make it easier and safer for the others to climb. But he’s having trouble finding a way to get started. Nervously, he dabs his fingers into the chalk pouch on his belt to dry the sweat from his hands. A horse trailer chugs up the road below, churning up dust, as he looks for a move. Finally, he gives up and returns to solid ground for what he calls a cheat pole—something that looks like a collapsible tent pole with which he can attach a carabiner into the wall with a climbing rope threaded through it for safety. “He’s gonna be a lot happier now,” Wilson observes. Clipped into the carabiner, Dorworth starts shimmying up the rock face, exploring fingerholds and toeholds as he goes. “Now he’s much happier because he’s off the ground,” Wilson adds. Thirty feet up—a body’s length shy of the top—Dorworth stops. He grunts. He shakes his head as he leans out from the wall, looking up for a route. “My old arms are tired,” he says. “There was a time I did fingertip pushups, doorjamb pullups to stay in shape. No more.” “I remember this wall being hard as hell,” replies Wilson. Dorworth stretches as far as he can. Nothing doing. He tries a new route to the left, his feet scraping the rock as he pulls himself up by his fingers. Abruptly, he slips, his fall halted in midair by Koubek, who is on the other end of the belay system. “Okay, let me down,” Dorworth instructs Koubek. “I don’t have enough umph to make it to the top.” “You gave it a very good try and I’m impressed,” responds Wilson. “I probably would’ve wiped out right away.” “This rock is harder than it used to be,” Dorworth replies.

He and his comrades pile out of the vehicle and throw heavy backpacks full of climbing ropes, carabiners, bolts and pitons over their shoulders.

So I really rely on my leg strength,” she says. The trio try several other routes, even Dorworth making it to the top, before quitting for the afternoon. Climbing is good for teaching focus, Dorworth relates as the trio head back to the van. “You’re not thinking about all the other things you would think about if you let yourself. You learn to work as a team. It’s like solving a puzzle, a hard problem. And it’s cool moving in that space, on the rock.” Liza Wilson slips the first time she attempts to climb over the overhang.

school, takes the next turn, his young muscular legs making short order of the trip to the top. Wilson and Dorworth spend the time while he is climbing counting some of Sun Valley’s best climbers, including Reid Dowdle, Robin Seitz, Kim Patterson, Gordon Webster and Dave Bingham. Finally, Wilson gets her turn. Wilson got her first taste of rock climbing when her high school government teacher took her and a couple other girls climbing outside Fresno—back, she says, when there were not a lot of women climbers. “I hadn’t even been into the outdoors up until then. Then I went crazy,” she recounts. Lured by the mystique of climbing, she worked as a campground ranger at Camp 4—the hangout for climbers at Yosemite where she watched Yvon Chouinard and other climbing greats

scale El Capitan. She first climbed the pink granite of the Sawtooth Mountains’ Finger of Fate with Bob Rosso in 1972 and followed it up by climbing the Elephant’s Perch near Redfish Lake. Wilson was climbing on the Elephant’s Perch high off the ground and far from a bolt one time when the heavens opened and rain gushed out. “Water was pouring down my arms. I was praying, ‘Just let me get to the bolts,’ ” she recalls. Climbing the rock face above Trail Creek is not nearly as traumatic, even as a dark cloud above scatters a few sprinkles on the climbers. “Uggh! I think I went the wrong way,” Wilson says as she nears the top. She leans back off the wall, studies it and moves to the right. “Ooh,” she lets out a sigh. “You’re right there,” Dorworth

LOCAL HANGS In addition to three or four climbing walls along Trail Creek, there’s good climbing out Warm Springs near the hot springs. There’s even some climbing near Baldy’s River Run and Deer Creek’s Wolftone. Twin Falls boasts climbing at Dierkes Lake, Murtaugh and, of course, the City of Rocks. And there’s a lot of superb climbing in the Sawtooths. Both Dick Dorworth and Liza Wilson can spend all day hanging on the Perch, descending just in time for a swim in the nearby lake and dinner. “It’s big wall climbing in a great location. And you have to work to get there, unlike Yosemite, where you can drive to,” says Dorworth. “So you don’t have as many climbers there. At the same time, it’s not as hard to get to as the Himalayas.”

about why it is critical they DO NOT draw the dog’s attention away from its partner. When the public even asks the owner the dog’s name, then they repeat it bending over and looking at the dog, a highly trained service dog will respond and look directly at the speaker.

hear, “OH! Your dog is SO GORGEOUS! I just HAVE to pet her!”, as the overexuberant stranger leans over to hug or pet a working service dog sitting perfectly next to its partner. The stories I can tell you about being in public with a service dog in training! As a trainer of such amazing creatures, one of the biggest issues for a service dog is to learn to ignore people. Why? Because service dogs MUST keep their focus on their partner. No, service dogs should not be social with the public. In a moment of excitement in anticipation of getting a treat or petting from someone new, that service dog might very well put their partner in danger.

a service dog. That means even the most well-intentioned pet, kiss, hug can be prosecuted. State Code also states: “Any person, not being a disabled person or being trained to assist disabled persons, who uses an assistance device or assistance dog in an attempt to gain treatment or benefits as a disabled person, is guilty of a misdemeanor.” And, this code also provides for liability in the event that a poorly trained dog in public causes damage. This means faking a pet as a service dog to allow the dog access into a public place is illegal, too. The best thing to do as a member of the public is to always ask first if you can touch or pet a service dog, then to respect the answer a service dog owner gives you. A properly trained service dog spends hundreds of hours in training in order to perform with precision their specific function. They are trained over and over how to have impeccable manners in public. They are a blessing on so many levels for the people they help. It is a blessing you can do to support people with disabilities by not interfering with even the most gorgeous, pet-tempting dog!

She went back to design school and started yet another career as a designer. Her first task was designing and decorating the chapel, including the slumber rooms, for Oakhill Memorial Park in San Jose, Calif.

Elisabeth Pohle—Dunbar’s daughter—began creating hand-painted dishware and other ceramics with Local Color and now features her work coast to coast, from an art show in New York to California. Sarah Long does sculptures of mermaids and woodpeckers. Martha Andrea, a former professor of fine arts, creates mixed-media paintings that combine acrylic, casein, watercolor, collage and other materials. And Lisa Horton, a former pastry chef from Arkansas, mixes handmade bronze, copper and silver pendants with pearls, leather and gemstones in earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Horton said she is working with a new medium that is less expensive than silver, which has gotten so pricey. “I’m also doing more necklaces with a layered look,” she added. While most artists will have their own booth, one booth will feature eight artists. “These are artists who may not have enough to fill a 10-by-10 booth,” said Dunbar. “But they’ll get exposure this way. And that’s the point of this show—to help them out.” tws

here now exists a vibrant ecosystem of food producers and processors, consumers, philanthropists, investors, policymakers, and advocacy groups, all in tireless pursuit of a solution to our broken food system. At one time our land abounded with flourishing agrarian communities. They were not without failure and strife, but the underlying structures and intentions were pure. Human intelligence evolved these concepts of cultivation, nourishment and growth into the financial world, developing communities and tools to further our prosperity. We now have the history and the experience to see how people, the planet and profit interact; this perspective yields both insight and profound responsibility. A focus on sustainable food and farming is as essential as nourishment is to life. It integrates air, water, land, and communities. Our health and welfare as humans—and for all life on the Earth—demand that we now carefully and expertly wield our innate intelligence, from the most basic to the most complex. We must link “philanthropy”— our love for our own kind—to our propensity for industry and innovation. Our instinct to not only survive, but also flourish, has yielded intelligence and tools that are now called to action. We at The Quigley Foundation believe that it is time to establish and maintain a healthy local food system in the Wood River Valley; it will improve the health of ourselves and our community, our air, our water and our land. We have the unique opportunity to create a replicable model to reform the current industrialized food system and lead the way to sustainable, regional food systems around the country—even the globe. We invite you to exercise your right to choose—as a consumer, investor and citizen of the world. The simple insistence upon fresh, uncompromised, nutrient-rich food produced in harmony with the environment, sourced through local growers, preparers and providers will, over time, replace the corporatized food system. This represents the most likely chance of a healthy and prosperous life for ourselves, our children and future generations.

The next morning, buses will leave the Sun Valley Ice Rink between 7:30-10 a.m. to take spectators to a viewing area north of Ketchum to observe the Rally. Tickets are $10 per person, $20 for a family of four. They can be purchased on site the day of the event or at the Drug Coalition’s Porsche raffle tent in downtown Ketchum this week, near Town Square. The organization is raffling a 2014 Porsche Macan as part of this year’s rally for $100 per ticket. Those who buy five tickets get one free. All proceeds from the event and raffle benefit the Drug Coalition. For more information, visit sunvalleyroadralley.com
