Getting The Scoop On Yellow Belly Ice Cream

Building With Hemp Photos from Gershater and McNees show yurts on the property and part of the cordage project the mountain school kids helped with). BY KAREN BOSSICK

The hemp revolution is coming to Trail Creek Summit, if a small group of entrepreneurs have anything to say about it. Idaho Basecamp is trying to raise $150,000 to build what founder Mat Gershater describes as the first non-residential hemp building in the United States. The 600-square-foot building, along Trail Creek Road 26 miles from the Ketchum Visitor Center, would serve as a movement studio at the eco-retreat center, which offers yoga retreats, environmental camps, artist residencies and retreats for family reunions and other gatherings. “It would be considered the Holy Grail of building products because it’s extremely sustainable,” said Gershater, who runs the non-profit Idaho Basecamp and Mountain Adventure Tours children’s “environtainment camp.” Two intern architects who are fresh out of college are driving across the United States from New York City to spend the summer working with Ketchum architect Dale Bates on the project. They’ve already put together a Hempitecture Kickstarter campaign to raise money for the building. Hempitecture, created as a research project at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, N.Y., recently took first place in the Energy and Sustainability division of the New York State Business Plan Competition. The two interns expect to be joined by 8-10 interns from across the United States who want to learn about the use of hemp as a building material and about passive solar design. Gershater says the interns hope to get accreditation for the time, which will include workshops with Bates and other professionals. “This has not been done before so we’re working with scientists and builders,” Gershater said. “Craig Maxwell, our structural engineer, for instance, is determining how we can make sure it withstands seismic activity. And Billy Mann, founder of Sagebrush Solar, is studying how we can generate renewable energy so it stays 50 degrees, even when it’s 25 below.”

Laci Hernandez says she gives back by donating between 25 percent and 35: percent of the proceeds of sales at special events for non-profits like Hailey Ice. “You can blow through a lot of ice cream real quick,” she said. STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

Movie Review

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Creating Gallery Art

G Hotel Hijinks

Rating:

BY JONATHAN KANE

Something magical is happening in Wes Anderson’s sumptuously detailed new film The Grand Budapest Hotel. But what else would you expect from Anderson who, in his eighth film, hits all the right chords in this sweet, silly and whimsical new comedy. Set basically in a majestic hotel in 1932, the film actually takes place over three eras. It also includes a litany of great actors in small cameos including, but in no particular order, Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Jason Schwartzman, F. Murray Abraham, Harvey Keitel, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, Jude Law, Bob Balaban, Tilda Swinton and Tom Wilkerson. At the center of the story is a fantastic Ralph Fiennes as the über-concierge of the hotel, and a newcomer – Tony Revolori as Lobby Boy. The movie opens in 1985 with Wilkerson, a writer, telling

how his younger self, Law, met the eccentric owner of the now decrepit hotel of the title in 1968. That owner, played by Abraham, then recounts the crazy events that transpired in 1932 when he was the able assistant – Lobby Boy to Fiennes’ meticulously over-the-top concierge. Lobby Boy will eventually inherit the hotel but that’s all in the story. And in true Anderson style that story is truly fantastic. This is Anderson’s eighth feature and the first that he has solely written based loosely on the work of Stephan Zweig, an Austrian novelist. Anderson’s new movies are bona-fide events as he is certainly one of America’s most original and idiosyncratic filmmakers. Vision is so totally lacking in today’s Hollywood that anything he does is worth seeing. Also worth seeing is the incredible performance turned in by Fiennes. This very serious actor turns that persona completely on its head with a riotous and wildly detailed performance. For that alone the movie is worth the price of admission. tws

Youngsters

BY KAREN BOSSICK

ary Lipton and his wife Melissa Lipton will engage youngsters in a different kind of art show a week from Mother’s Day. On May 17 and 18 they will show a display of work created by children enrolled in the Community School Early Childhood Center. The exhibit will be on view from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18, at Lipton Fine Arts, 411 N. Leadville Ave., in Ketchum. That Saturday has been set aside as a family day of art with families invited to view the works and write reflections about what feelings or emotions the works evoke. The students visited the gallery, taking a tour as the Liptons explained different techniques their artists used in the art being exhibited.

Predictably, the children were most taken by a big oil painting inspired by a heart. “It’s a simple concept for 3- and 4-year-olds to understand,” explained Melissa Lipton. Following their tour, each child sat down and began drawing his own work. The students created the work not to achieve a final polished result but to document their year of learning. “The exhibit will display how our students are thinking about their world,” said Nichole Moos, the Early Childhood Center’s art teacher. “Their creative representations reveal their interpretations and understandings. This exhibit is meant to demonstrate a learning process—how their brains work and how their hearts work.” Gary Lipton said the event was inspired by a chance meeting with Moos at a community event. “We said: Let’s have a gallery space to do the show—nothing’s going on in the valley then.

Gallery Offers Gift For Moms

BY KAREN BOSSICK

ood River Valley moms will get a treat this Mother’s Day: A chance to see their children’s photos hanging in an art gallery. Gary Lipton, owner of Lipton Fine Arts in Ketchum, sent three young moms out with digital cameras and instructions to shoot youngsters in candid poses. The shots they took will be posted via mini-clothespins Friday and Saturday at the gallery at 411 N. Leadville Ave., next to the Coffee Grinder. Keely Eliason, Elizabeth Carter and Erika Connelly took more than 400 photos. They include a photo of a mom playing with her toddler, a child in his Halloween outfit, a young girl in her birthday hat and a youngster sitting in the seat of a big rig. “They’re just shots of kids enjoying life, having fun. They’ve all got great smiles. Hopefully, what happens is, here comes Mom with her two kids, and the kids tell her: ‘Look, Mom. Here’s my photo!’ “We’ll pull it off the wall and it’s theirs to keep,” said Lipton. Lipton moved here from Detroit where he had a machin-

ery and equipment appraising, financing and leasing company. He and his wife Melissa have an extensive art collection, some of which they offer for sale at Lipton Fine Arts. The works include American Indian artifacts, including a Cheyenne Plains woman’s dress; artwork by such artists and photographers as Jim Dine, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso and Annie Leibovitz; Amish quilts; decorative Gustav Stickley furniture; Rookwood pottery; pre-1900 Oriental rugs; and paint-decorated American folk art furniture. Gary Lipton and his wife Melissa Lipton will engage youngsters in a different kind of art show a week from Mother’s Day. On May 17 and 18 they will show a display of work created by children enrolled in the Community School Early Childhood Center. If this Mother’s Day present to the community proves successful, Lipton says he will repeat it next year and the year after. “I would think it would be fun for parents to walk into an exhibit like this with their children,” Gary Lipton said. “Your 5-year-old comes in and sees his or her photo on the wall. How cool is that?” tws

bring people out of their houses.” “Parents told Nichole how enthused the kids were by the project. They also have a local artist come into the classroom illustrating how to create art,” said Melissa Lipton. The project goes beyond teaching kids how to create art, said Gary Lipton. It also teaches the kids that if you want to be an artist, this is the end result: showing your art and, perhaps, even having someone buy it. “It also opens the door for them to visit the gallery,” Gary Lipton added. “They understand there’s no necessity to purchase. There’s only the necessity of dilating your eyes, sucking the image in, dissecting the art however you want to do so.” “I had no idea that the enthusiasm would be as high as it is,” added Melissa Lipton. “I thought it would be a little school project but it’s gone beyond that—they may start dragging their parents into art galleries now.” tws

e live in one of the most gorgeous areas I have ever seen and it is time we extend that beauty to the human beings that make up the society and community in which we live. That beauty will be cultivated from the safety and love that only comes from a communal effort toward a goal: compassion. In this compassionate community, the center of life will not be the monotonous necessity of work, but our natural need for love and happiness. People will treat each other with the utmost care and respect, regardless of their situation. Our innate passion for helping others will manifest the compassion and love that we all long for. A com-

passionate community will act as a safe haven for all, despite any differences or conflicts amongst individuals because, in the end, we indeed are all equals. In our compassionate community, success will not be finality, but merely a taste of what we can accomplish in unity. Happiness and compassion are our successes. Our community will be the epitome of happiness, safety, equality, respect, care, growth and, finally, compassion. The ETC’s are The Advocates teen intern group.

aleb Garvin is a senior at Wood River High School carrying a 3.7 grade point average and is a member of National Honor Society. Besides that, he is incredibly personable and charming but, most importantly, he carries a strong sense of self-confidence in his abilities as a musician. This is displayed in his proficiency on the drums, guitar and as a singer. When asked about his future, Garvin said, “I want to play original music. I want to make something that will last for generations.”

and it’s real pleasant.” Garvin then regales me with numerous funny stories that are not fit to print in our humble paper. “The only negative here is that it’s not big enough. There’s not enough people listening to you and recognizing your accomplishments.” Garvin started playing music when he was seven years old and now finds himself playing in his own bands as well as the high school Dixie Band, Jazz Band, Colla Voce, singing with the B-Tones and playing drums for musicals at The Liberty and nexStage theatres and studies singing once a week with R.L. Rowsey. “My dad bought me a drum set. He plays guitar and I guess he needed a drummer.” When asked if it wasn’t too loud and noisy, he responds, “I’m still loud and noisy.” He first learned Revolution and Love Me Do by the Beatles. “It was easy and fun and I loved it and haven’t stopped since. It just made sense to me. Everyone has one thing that they do well and this was it.” He started singing two years later and was hooked. “It’s just the best way to express your emotion and soul. If you are heartbroken, you can sing about it. If you are happy, you can sing about it, and everything in the middle. I love blues and jazz singers like Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald and my favorite bands are the Black Keys, Stone Temple Pilots and Head and the Heart.” Garvin just started playing the guitar his freshman year and loves the “way you can bend any note to fit any emotion. My favorites to listen to are Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Stevie Ray Vaughn.” Besides drumming and playing guitar four days a week and jamming whenever he can, Garvin loves to sing every day and study once a week with Rowsey. “I owe so much to R.L. He changed my life and has been the most influential person in my life. Other than that, anyone who wants to come down into my basement and make a lot of noise can come over. The door shuts and blocks everything out so it can get real loud!” tws

Wilflower Walks To Resume STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

Camas flowers often look like a sea of blue amidst southern Idaho’s spring green.

he first wildflower walk is always a tough call. Will the camas lilies be in bloom or not? Wildflower experts at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden are banking on the notion that blue will imbue the fields of the Camas Prairie come May 15. To that end, they’ve scheduled their first wildflower walk of the season on that Thursday, with the caveat that it may be changed to May 22 if the lilies are not yet in bloom. Anticipating that they will be blooming by next week, interested people can meet at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden at 9 a.m. or at the parking lot at Timmerman Junction at the intersection of highways 20 and 75 at 9:30 a.m.

Jeanne Cassell points out flowers of interest during a hike in Taylor Canyon north of Ketchum.

The free day-long trip will be led by horticulturist Carol Blackburn and birdwatcher Poo Wright-Pulliam. Box lunches may be ordered for a fee or participants may pack their own picnics. The day is expected to last until 5 p.m. “It’ll be a chance to see the lilies and returning migratory birds and also a chance to look at the fire damage and restoration efforts near Fairfield,” said Ketchum naturalist Jeanne Cassell. The 2014 Wildflower Walks will be hosted by a different expert with changing locations and themes each Thursday. Cassell, for instance, will lead the May 22 hike. A representative of the Wood River Land Trust will lead the June 5 hike. They will meet at 9 a.m. at the garden, at Highway 75 and Gimlet Road. The walks are free this year, but donations are appreciated to help maintain the gardens and their programs. The garden was established in 1994 to acquaint the community with native and cultivated plants of the region. It includes newly redesigned perennial gardens, a gift shop and an 800-pound bronze prayer wheel gifted to commemorate the visit of the Dalai Lama. The prayer wheel is filled with a million hand-written prayers of peace.

Men Make Big Impact In Short Time STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

wo years ago there was no 100 Men Who Care. Now, in just 18 months, the philanthropic grassroots group of men has doled out $15,100 to the community. During their first five meetings they presented checks to Ketchum Community Dinners, the local chapter of the Nation-

pitch saying why the nonprofit they chose should be funded before the men vote on which one they want to fund that particular night. Those who can’t make the meeting simply send in a check for $100 to be forwarded to the organization selected as beneficiary. The last meeting found 10 men sitting around a table at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, making the odds pretty good that one of their causes would get picked out of the

or other necessary services. People think we’re government funded—we’re not. People think we’re only there for seniors. We’re not—we’re there for the community. We’ve taken in a lot of adults who are disabled.” Following Coonis’ presentation, Roger DeBard pitched Caritas Chorale. He described how the 90-member chorus has provided concerts free of charge, using donations to pay the director and bring professional musicians to Sun Valley to accompany the group. The group also commissioned two historical works commemorating Lewis and Clark and the Nez Perce Indians, he added. Literally thousands of people come to hear them. “By donating, we could encourage them,” he concluded. David Lloyd proposed Girls on the Run which, he said, was centered around running but focused on girls’ self-esteem. Some of the girls have been abused; some come from impoverished families. “It’s a platform for girls

The Hunger Coalition. “They just reached an all-time high of 120 families,” he said. “They supply 176 children with food over the weekend, and they’re trying to raise $5,000 to provide healthy meals to children over the summer.” A quick vote by secret ballot and The Hunger Coalition came out the winner, leaving the other two organizations to get another chance at the next meeting in July. Marty Lyon, who founded the organization, said the organization has a number of second homeowners from Florida, Maryland, Nevada, California, Washington, New York and Oregon. “I’m so proud of the guys who are participating and the confidence they have in my program,” he added. The next meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. July 8 at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. This time the guys are contemplating a slight deviation from the normal routine, as they accompany the garden’s executive director Stephanie McCord

al Alliance for the Mentally Ill, the Wood River Fire and Rescue Firefighters Association, St. Thomas Playhouse and The Senior Connection. A couple weeks ago, they presented their latest check—$3,400 to The Hunger Coalition. It couldn’t have come at a better time, said Hunger Coalition Director Jeanne Liston, with the organization catering to a record-breaking number of people seeking help. The concept of 100 Men Who Care is simple. Participants meet together four times a year. Each meeting lasts no longer than an hour. Each man proposes a nonprofit organization to fund. Three organizations are picked out of a basket and the men who nominated those causes make a short

basket. First, they listened to a short spiel by Kim Coonis who described how thankful The Senior Connection was for its donation. Coonis said the $3,100 her organization had received from the group could fund the care of three adults for a year. Coonis said her clients include a 109-year-old woman whom she is not about to let wind up in a nursing home; a blind adult;and adults with memory problems. “When we started Memory Club, we thought we would have one or two people on opening day—81 showed up,” she said. “Many of the Connection’s clients make less than $400 a month. If they didn’t have us, they would go without food

Instead, she adds fresh mint from Purple Sage Farms to her Mint Chocolate Chip, imbuing it with a freshness that’s likely to wow even those who don’t normally care for Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. She searched far and wide for espresso and fresh pistachio nuts. She gets blackberries from Waterwheel Gardens for her sorbet. And she uses Lindee’s Cookies for her Cookies and Cream. She hopes to expand her flavors, which include such tantalizing treats as coconut lime sorbet and a berry crisp. “I do a lot of research globally. I ask people who travel what they’ve

She plans to augment her selection of homemade ice creams with Dreyer’s to provide bubblegum, rainbow sherbet and other flavors that she doesn’t plan to make. She has concocted a variety of special treats, including a cake inspired by the movie “Frozen.” She’s made terrines, stuffing ice creams together and slicing the square like a loaf of bread, topping it with berries for a decadent dessert.

made a milkshake of lemon-blueberry yogurt and salted caramel. I said, ‘Sweetheart, if that’s what your tastebuds call for, you go for it!’ ” Hernandez slow churns her ice cream so she doesn’t put a lot of air into the product. Pumping air into ice cream is a great way to expand on profits but it doesn’t taste great, she said. And it tends to get icy. “You can tell the quality of ice cream by how fast it melts,” she added. “If it doesn’t have a lot of air, the structure remains intact longer because it doesn’t collapse on itself.” To demonstrate, she places a scoop of chocolate ice cream in a bowl and sets it on the counter. Twenty minutes later it hasn’t melted, although it’s showing signs of getting soft. Peggy Tierney pops into the shop during the great chocolate experiment. “I’m so happy they’re here,” she said. “We need an ice cream store.” “She’s young and very motivated,” added Ileene Wendland. “And the valley needs an ice cream shop. The kids were real disappointed to see Baskin-Robbins go.” Hernandez said it’s rewarding to know she’s making a product people like: “Everyone’s happy when they’re indulging in ice cream. So this is a good profession to be in.”

Disability Insurance: A Good Idea PRESENTED BY STATE FARM AGENT PATRICK BUCHANAN

hink you’re immune to accidents? According to the U.S. Social Security Administration, 20-year-old workers have a 1 in 4 chance of becoming disabled by age 67. In fact, the average American drawing Social Security disability benefits is 50 years old. The average Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is only $1,113 per month. Is that enough to cover living expenses? For most of us, the answer is likely no. Myth: I Can Rely on Workers’ Comp Many people mistakenly think so. According to the Council for Disability Awareness, a small fraction of disabilities are covered by workers’ compensation insurance, and the benefits are often temporary. Similarly, qualifying for SSDI can be difficult, and approval can take months. What’s the Solution? For maximum protection, make sure you have both shortterm and long-term disability insurance. Many employers offer short-term coverage that will typically replace around 40 to 60 percent of your income for three to six months while recovering from a temporary disability. As the name implies, long-term coverage provides you with income during a lengthy or permanent disability. These

Hemp, the sober cousin of marijuana, is fast growing, even weedy, improving rather than depleting the health of the soil. It’s naturally resistant to most pests, negating the need for pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. And it needs less water than most crops. It absorbs CO2 and was even used at Chernobyl to extract toxins and pollutants from the soil and groundwater. It has been used in fabrics and paper since time immemorial— even the Declaration of Independence reportedly includes hemp. It can be mixed with lime to produce a building material called hempcrete that is just as strong as concrete. The material is energy-efficient, non-toxic and resistant to mold, insects and fire. So far, there are very few hemp buildings in the United States due to the unavailability of building-grade hemp. There are some residences built out of hemp, including one in Hailey. The building at Idaho Basecamp would serve as a new

archetype of sustainability, Gershater said. Because of the natural forces imposed by snow, high winds, earthquakes and intense cold during winter, if it works here, it can work anywhere. Idaho Basecamp has focused on natural building since its beginnings, said Whitney McNees. Students at The Mountain School helped build a cordwood

cottage, using mostly wood gathered within 80 miles of the basecamp as part of Basecamp’s mission to teach how to live in balance with the environment. The center also includes a yellow house built in the early 1900s and moved from Mackay. In addition to the movement studio, plans are in place for retreat housing, a staff living cottage, greenhouse, ropes course and treehouses and yurts for guests to stay in. Gershater says he hopes to have 16- to 18-year-olds build bridges and stabilize banks this summer. Gershater said more than 300 kids will come through Basecamp this summer—some for events run by other organizations, such as The Flourish Foundation and the Environmental Resource Center. The annual “Feastival”—a celebration of the environment that is held on the property the third weekend of each September— drew 150 people last year. “It is a wonderful piece of land in the Lost River Valley where you can come and play and enjoy the natural surroundings with your family,” Gershater said. tws

benefits usually start three to six months after a person becomes disabled and can continue for a period of several years or even until age 70. For additional protection, consider augmenting this coverage with a personal policy. What Should You Look For in a Policy? Here are some considerations: •“Disability” definition: Must you be unable to perform your regular job or any job? Be sure you understand the definition. •Onset of benefits: If your savings can cover several months of expenses, reduce monthly premiums with a longer waiting period. •Partial benefits: These can provide you with some income if you can’t work full capacity. •Cost-of-living adjustment (COLA): Adding a COLA option will increase benefits to keep pace with inflated living expenses. It pays to do your homework and talk with a professional before selecting the policy that best fits your needs and budget.

The Night Alive STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

ommy is a “mountainous slob of a man,” according to New York Times critic Ben Brantley. A man who has obviously never been taught to pick up after himself, he lives in a Dublin residence strewn with garbage bags and festering objects of dubious identity. He goes out for what he assumes will be an uneventful errand—a bag of chips—and returns with a young woman covered in blood who turns out to be “a sometimes prostitute.” “The Night Alive” is a portrait of five highly imperfect people fumbling in the dark—even when it’s daytime—as they stumble through a space littered with misbegotten children, cheap cologne bottles and broken promises. As one character says, “It’s like my eyes have been taken out, and I just can’t see what’s

in front of me, like it’s always nighttime, so when nighttime really comes, you think it feels like a relief.” The nexStage Theatre will present a free reading of Conor McPherson’s new play as part of its ongoing series of top contemporary playwrights at 6:30 tonight at the Ketchum theater, 120 S. Main St. Complimentary wine and cookies will be served. The cast includes Andrew Alburger, Scott Creighton, Steve d’Smith, Charlotte Hemmings and Jon Kane. “This is another Irish play. It just closed in New York in February after an outstanding run, a sold-out run,” said Director Jon Kane. “We’ve never done a play so current.” The Dublin-born McPherson is one of today’s best contemporary playwrights, said Kane. His credits include “Shining City” and “The Weir,” both of which

the nexStage has included in its play reading series. “Shining City” revolved around a psychiatrist with psychological secrets and “The Weir” is a ghostly tale as seen through the eyes of a group of men sharing tales with a woman in an Irish pub. “The Night Alive” is about poverty—both economic and

It is hard to believe we are in the middle of spring! The trees are leafing out, spring bulbs are in full bloom, perennials are beginning to grow and veggies are sprouting in the garden. It is the official beginning of the growing season in the Wood River Valley! With plans for healthier plants, more abundant vegetable gardens and greener lawns, there are a few things to do in the garden this month. If you have not finished cleaning up your garden beds, it’s time to remove any plant debris left over from last year. This material is great for the compost pile. After cleaning up, consider an application of organic fertilizer to promote healthy growth. This is good not only for your vegetable and perennial gardens, but also for your lawn and trees. Depending on your location in the Valley, the first frostfree date of the season could be anywhere between June 21 and July 10. Keep this in mind as you put out your tender bulbs and annual flowers. With the selection of colorful annuals filling the greenhouses of local garden centers, think of your gardens’ location to determine the best varieties and planting times for you. Hardy annuals can be sown directly into your garden spaces; California poppies, sweet peas, pansies and violas are great choices for our Valley. Planting warm-season annuals such as marigolds will have to wait until next month. May is a major planting month and the vegetable garden is no exception. Now is the time

to plant, grow and harvest those cool-season crops such as radishes, spinach and lettuce. Continue tilling and cultivating your garden soil to keep it loose for summer root growth. This is also a great time for building or purchasing trellises for climbing vegetables such as peas and beans to add much-needed support. Now is a good time to transplant herbs and direct seed many vegetable crops. Be sure to follow the directions on the seed packets to ensure proper growth. At the end of the month, prepare to transplant warmer-season crops such as tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, etc. Keep in mind that we will likely have frost in June; so, have row covers, cloth, five-gallon buckets or cardboard boxes handy to cover up delicate plants on cold nights. After your plants are 6 inches tall, consider applying a new layer of compost to help with water retention during the summer months. Keep an eye out for pests in the garden, too. Aphids are easy to control with a simple solution of liquid soap and water. Simply mix 2 tablespoons of liquid soap (without degreaser or bleach) to a gallon of water and apply to infested plants with a bottle sprayer. Apply for up to three consecutive days to reduce infestations. Make sure to apply the spray under cloud cover or at the end of the day to ensure no harm comes to the plant. Please visit the resource library at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden with any questions you may have about your garden. We look forward to sharing our growing successes with you and wish you a happy growing season in 2014!

otherwise. “To be human is to be disabled, in Mr. McPherson’s view,” writes Brantley. “That’s what separates people into isolated zones of idiosyncrasy and also what makes them reach out for one another. This is the source of the play’s boisterous comedy, as well as its aching poignancy.” Kane said “The Night Alive” is a difficult play to sum up: “It’s about wounded people finding each other and finding glimmers of hope and light. Together there’s a glimmer of hope they can make something more of their lives—something extraordinary. A combination of a great cast and great play should make for a great night.”

More Gas-Saving Tips Too Much Luggage

hy it matters: A loaded roof rack can increase wind resistance, diminish the aerodynamics of the car, and decrease fuel economy by 5 percent. Similarly, extra luggage in the trunk weighs down the car and requires more work (and more gas) from the engine—an extra 100 pounds in the trunk reduces a typical car’s fuel economy by 1 to 2 percent or about 4 cents to 8 cents a gallon, according to fueleconomy.gov. Remove and store the luggage racks, bike racks, ski racks, and kayak holders until you absolutely need them, or try to put some of those items in the trunk between uses instead.

and sticky brake calipers can all contribute to a reduction in gas mileage. Soft tires, for example, produce greater friction between the road and the rubber, causing the engine to work harder to propel you forward. For every 1 pound per square inch (psi) drop in pressure, gas mileage decreases by 0.3 percent, according to fueleconomy.gov. The Toyota Camry, according to Consumer Reports, experienced a 1.3-milesper-gallon loss in highway fuel economy when its tires were underinflated by 10 psi. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40 percent. Combine Your Trips Plan your day’s errands to minimize redundant trips.

Dancing Through “Hansel And Gretel”

From left to right: Annie Ashfield, Liza Buell, Bryn Downey, Lauren Robideaux, Shea Slanetz BY KAREN BOSSICK PHOTO CREDITS TO: AUBREY STEPHENS AND MANON GAUDREAU

“Hansel and Gretel” debuted as a German fairy tale 202 years ago. But, while Engelbert Humperdinck turned the story into an opera in 1812, the Brothers Grimm story has never been set to original music for a ballet. Footlight Dance Centre will set the fable to dance music this weekend. But even Director Hilarie Neely took 30 years to reach that point. “Each year I’m always looking for something that will fit well with the kids I have. I ask the kids what story they’d like to see come alive, and many have asked, ‘What about Hansel and Gretel?’ But it’s one of the darker Grimm fairy tales—essentially, the story of a family abandoning its children and the witch’s abuse of

the children she captures. “I finally found the courage to tackle it after the anti-bullying and compassion projects we’ve done these past two

years,” Neely added. “I felt like we’ve been dealing with these issues and I finally felt comfortable with tackling this fairy tale—only in a more lighthearted manner than it might be portrayed.” After all, Neely notes, the children are reunited with their family and live happily ever after. The dance company will perform the dance production of “Hansel and Gretel” at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday in the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater at the Community Campus. Tickets are $6, available in advance at Iconoclast Books in Ketchum and The Modern Mercantile in Hailey. Any remaining tickets will also be sold at the door. The performance will feature 180 dancers, ranging from age 4 through high school. Shea Slanetz will perform Hansel and Isabella Cronin and Bryn

habitat for non-humanity

All the World Loves A Party By Bali Szabo

pring can be a great motivator. The very logic of new growth, of expansion, burrows into us like the perpetual garden dirt under the fingernails. The day lilies, the irises and the wild false Solomon’s seal are spreading like a juicy rumor. As in a healthy economy, there’s old and new growth as long as there’s room for expansion. I mentioned last week that this will be a good year for bulbs and rhizomes, but I don’t know why. We had very little snow cover to blanket and insulate the bulbs and the more tender Zone 5 perennials. I feared the worst. Last year (2012-13), there was a little more snow and it was milder. I kept patrolling the Habitat and wondered where the bulbs were. Very little came up. I blamed myself for not preparing their beds well enough – depth, compost, location, food, etc. Where did I go wrong? I thought maybe the soil was wrong here, that something was inhibiting them. Yet there was ample evidence to the contrary. Someone had planted a clump of ‘pheasant’s-eye’ narcissi over twenty years ago, and they came up every year in an inhospitable corner of the lawn where even grass won’t

grow. Nearby, a nest of yellow/ red tulips (Washingtons) has come up every year for over a decade without anyone tending to them. There’s a lone asparagus shoot over twenty years old… comes up next to a pile of rocks, without fail. Nothing bothers these plants. They thrive on neglect, like a lot of natives. Compared to them, my planted bulbs are pampered, temperamental debutantes. There’s no doubt that human absence promotes natural species diversity (rats and cockroaches excluded). On the other hand, the birds that visit or reside in the box elders, the crabapples and the chokecherries are far more numerous because of the sunflower-seed feeder and a birdbath. The birds and I have developed a routine. Sometimes the cat spooks them by leaping at the feeder. They know they’re safe as soon as I show up. I refill their tube, and then whistle some nonexistent bird call, which tells them the coast is clear, and then throughout the

day they come and go as they please. And then there’s happy hour. Usually, two or three people are out on the porch, and the feeder is about 15 feet away. I do a few whistles and wait. Here, there are sparrows, chickadees and house finches, for the most part. They start showing up, one after the other, until there are two dozen or so chattering and jostling with each other. They are comfortable now that ‘security’ has arrived, and they’re free to eat the spilled seed on the ground. Though this is no place for the exhibition of territoriality, every now and then two males will square off, breast to breast, beak to beak, hop around in synch, then abandon the whole thing and head for the beer cooler. Someone should try that in the Ukraine. After all, where would the great nation of Russia be without vodka? You want to trigger an international crisis and get them to polish off their nukes? Take away their vodka. Look what happened to the British when, in 1773, they tried to intercept and tax our regular supply of Caribbean rum and the molasses needed to make it. History was made, and a nation was born.

From left to right: Bryn Downey as Gretel, Shea Slanetz as Hansel

Downey will be dual cast as Gretel. Graduating senior Annie Ashfield will portray the Queen of the Forest who guards Hansel and Gretel on their journey back home, Lauren Robideaux will perform the Gingerbread Witch, and Lemuel and Bronwyn Regan will play the parts of the Woodcutter and his Wife. The performance will feature ballet, hip-hop and other styles of music choreographed by Footlight Dance instructors Christina Arpp, Peter Burke, Shellrae Garnes, Julie Fox, Michele Minailo, Hilarie Neely, Anne Winton and guest choreographers Yurek Hansen and Sheena Phelps. Ashfield, a graduating senior, began dancing when she was 3. She joined Footlight after moving to Sun Valley at age 6. Ashfield said Neely has been a tremendous influence on her life, inspiring her to seek a minor in dance when she heads off to college next year. “This year’s production of Hansel and Gretel is going to be an amazing one,” Ashfield said. “The story is a classic that has been transformed into many different forms, but as a ballet it’s dynamic, mysterious and always moving. The

story itself offers the dancers a chance to really connect to the characters they embody. Being the Forest Queen, I must make a connection between strength and grace to reveal to the audience both the beauty of the enchanted forest but also its hidden dangers.” The scenery and costumes are also amazing, said Ashfield. The performance will feature traditional German clothing, including a lovely tutu of enchanted forest-green earth tones worn by Ashfield as the Queen of the Forest. There’s a gingerbread house. And dancer spiders can weave a web out of their costumes. “There’s a fun scene where the creepy forest erupts with spiders, trolls and wolves lying in wait to keep Hansel and Gretel from getting home. I think there’ll be a little bit for everyone,” said Neely. This is Footlight Dance Centre’s 30th anniversary. The dance company started with about 80 youngsters in the Sun Valley Athletic Club in Ketchum, which has since been torn down. The dancers also trained in the long-gone American Legion building next to The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. Today, dancers train at the Community Campus and at the Upper Big Wood River Grange Hall in Hailey. “It’s amazing to see how the dance industry has changed in that time,” Neely said. “Today’s dancers are so much more athletic. And there are so many more ways, so many more different dance forms, through which kids can get involved. There are also so many more opportunities for collaborating with other arts organizations, as well.” tws

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR MAY 7 FROM PICABO ANGLER

ishing stillwater with a fly rod is not difficult and it is very rewarding. Yet, fishing stillwater can be overwhelming for fly anglers that have not tried before. Take a place like Magic Reservoir, for example. It is a large body of water, and it is also a deep body of water, and, at first glance, there is seemingly little structure. This time of year, though, and throughout the summer and fall, fly anglers will be hooking up daily. There are basically two approaches to fishing a place like this. One can be dedicated and fish stillwater almost exclusively, in which case these anglers can truly learn and hold onto secrets it might take even highly experienced anglers years to catch onto. The other approach is more relaxed and more for the casual fly angler who may just be waiting for the rivers to open again. If you are in the first group, you can stop reading, because we aren’t going to shed light on anything new here. But if you are in the latter group, here are a few things to keep in mind. Perhaps the most important thing to know and to find confidence in is the that fact that the fish in a massive reservoir like Magic are almost all found in the top 12 feet of the water column. This is where the food is, and where the water temperature is the most comfortable for them. So right away anglers can take out the “fish really deep” equation. Fishing in Magic can be done equally well from the shore, a float tube or a boat. A floating line is typically all one needs for a few casual hours of fishing, and flies include normal boat patterns one would find in the reservoir, including leeches, perch imitations, scuds, midges and numerous other baitfish patterns. If you are wondering where to fish, just look at the exposed shoreline. Normally the contour and structure you see sloping into the water continues below the surface. If you see a boulder field on the shore, then expect the same underwater. If you see a channel or creek bed heading into the water, it will continue and the fish will be in these troughs. The short of it is, think like a fish. Where would you want to be? Where is the food? Where is the cover? Where is the temperature perfect? Give these reservoirs some time and attention and you may be amazed at the addicting qualities of these fisheries!

Happy Fishing Everyone!

In addition to a grant written by Lex Shapiro and granted by the Hailey Parks Foundation, the groups worked together to provide a recycle option at the local parks. Each park will get two bins: one for plastic and one for aluminum. Hop Porter Park has four bins due to its size and those bins have been installed.

s we rock through spring and head toward summer, I thought it best to write about swimming injuries and enlighten you on the shocking statistics on drowning in the U.S. With spring snowmelt and local rivers on the rise, NOW is the time to be SMART. DROWNING DATA Every day, about 10 people die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children aged 14 or younger. Drowning ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the United States. An additional 347 people died each year from drowning in boating-related incidents. Some shocking facts about drowning victims: •80 percent are male. •Children ages 1-4 have the highest drowning rates. •Most drowning occurring in home swimming pools. Toys are NOT safety devices. •Drowning is responsible for more deaths among children ages 1-4 than any other cause.

•1:5 people who die from drowning are children under 14 years old. •Nearly 50 children a day receive emergency department (ED) care for nonfatal submersion injuries. •More than half of drowning victims treated in ED’s require hospitalization. SWIMMING INJURY STATS Over 200,600 swimming-related injuries are treated in ED’s every year. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) has some general guidelines on how to prevent swimming injuries. •Learn how to swim – don’t swim alone. Take a lesson. •Swim in supervised areas. Inexperienced swimmers should wear lifejackets (PFDs). •Don’t attempt to swim if you are too tired, cold, or overheated. •Don’t swim in a lake or river if the water is rising. •Don’t chase pets into running water. •Beware of new hazards which may be present. •Avoid being in the water during an electrical storm; water conducts electricity.

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

•Alcohol and water don’t mix. Alcohol affects judgment, slows movement, and impairs vision. •Prevent “swimmer’s ear” by drying the ear canal with a Q-tip after swimming. •Cold muscles are more prone to injury – warm up before swimming. •Shoulder pain is the number one injury in swimming. DIVING SAFETY •Do not dive in shallow water and avoid diving into murky water. •Check the shape of the full diving area to make sure it is deep enough. •Dive only off the end of a diving board. Do NOT run, dive far out, or bounce more than one time. •Swim away from the board immediately after the dive. Send me an e-mail (skimd123@yahoo.com) and let me know what you would like to hear about and I’ll be happy to write about it in my next column. In the meanwhile, tight lines, stretch, recreate, stay upright and, most important of all, stay healthy, enjoy your family, and be safe.

Aberbach: “We New Hailey Fire learn from the Chief Takes It To The past and train for the future” Community BY KAREN BOSSICK

Craig Aberbach hails from Florida where his father, who owned a small camera and arts supply store, used to take his family boating north of the Keys He got involved in firefighting because he likes giving back to the community. “I enjoy helping others—being a comfort to those who need it. When someone calls a fire department, they need help,” he said. Armed with an associate degree in fire science and a master’s degree in management, he served 22 years at the Cape Coral Fire Department in Florida in what was then the fourth fastest growing city in the country. At the time he left as division chief, the department boasted 11 fire stations serving a population of 160,000 and responding to 17,000 calls a year. While there, Aberbach helped restore water, sewer and gas lines to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. He also coordinated logistical planning when Hurricane Charles tore through his 120-square mile city. Fortunately, the city had a proactive plan and a good response, he said. “Unfortunately, just as we were ready to leave the emergency operations center, we had to do a major Hazmat operation because of run-off from golf course fertilizer.”

Aberbach also served as a professor and director of emergency services at Edison State College in Florida where he was chosen the Florida State Instructor of the Year in 2000. Even since he took over here, he has participated as a HOT— Hands on Training—instructor at the largest fire training conference in the country. He and his wife were drawn to Hailey because he’d never seen a change of seasons before. “I wanted a change and I love to do the work,” he said. Aberbach said he is familiar with wildfires, having combated a few in Florida. “We’re fortunate that inside Hailey we have very few wildland fire issues,” he said. Aberbach added that his team had just practiced a reenactment of the Della View fire. “We learn from the past and train for the future.” Aberbach said he’s impressed by his staff, which consists of four full-time and 25 paid on-call volunteers. “The people here impress me as much if not more because of the level of dedication. They’re getting paid very little for what they do. You can spend as much as 48 hours at a time in a station—you spend more time at the station than you do with your family. So, it’s important that we build a family.”

Hailey Fire Chief Craig Aberbach shows off the new training building being built by his firefighters behind the fire station in Hailey. STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

It looks like a child’s playhouse, but Hailey Fire Chief Craig Aberbach couldn’t be any more excited about the house his firefighters are building than if it were a palatial 37,000-square foot trophy home with gold-plated sinks. Firefighters will be able to retrofit the building with interior walls and other features to simulate dozens of different scenarios that they might deal with in rescue situations.

They might practice breaking through a wall to get to another room for safety. They might practice how they would approach a fire when the roof is on fire. And they’ll be able to put a smoke machine inside to study the behavior of smoke. “They built it from the bottom up. Some of the firefighters work construction so they were able to get donations; without which we wouldn’t have been able to do this,” he said. “We don’t have a lot of opportunity to practice fighting fires here so this is an important tool.”

Aberbach filled the seat vacated by former Hailey Fire Chief Mike Chapman Nov. 1. He’s been busy in the six months that followed, implementing a long list of things that will make the fire department more visible in the community. •He’s signed the department up for the Blaine County Relay for Life, inviting community members to join the firefighter’s team this coming July as they run and walk around the high school track to raise money to fight cancer. •He rallied firefighters to install a flag pole outside the station to boost morale. The firefighters, in turn, went to the community for donations to make it a community flagpole. The 25-foot pole will officially be dedicated when the fire station hosts Hailey Chamber’s June Business After Hours, from 5 to 7 p.m. June 19. “The idea is to honor all the sacrifices everyone’s made for our freedom. We have a proud group of volunteers,” said Aberbach. •He started a Fire Explorer Program, which allows four high school juniors to join firefighters once a week in training exercises. The program started with a highly motivated high school senior named Gus Conrad, who is now a full-fledged volunteer firefighter. Current Explorers must pass online tests correlating to the 1,372-page textbook,

CONTINUED FROM, PAGE 13 “Essentials of Firefighting.” By the time they finish the program, they’ll have most of the skills they need to work as a fire fighter in the State of Idaho. This year’s trainees will mentor new high school juniors next year. •Aberbach enrolled the Hailey Police and Fire Department in the national “Do The Right Thing” network, which is launching this week. The program was born in 1990 when a teen-ager was honored at a Miami Police Department award ceremony for turning in a loaded gun he found at school. Today it is a national program that recognizes and rewards school-age youth for doing the right thing; fostering positive relations between police and youth and reinforcing socially desirable behavior among young people. Locally, youth nominated by members of the community will be recognized four times a year beginning with a ceremony before the Hailey City Council on June 2. Nomination forms are on the City of Hailey and Blaine School District website. •Aberbach and Hailey Fire Department’s Robbin Warner worked with Girl Scout Troop 349 and the U.S. Forest Service to replace the Smoky the Bear fire caution sign that had been missing from Highway 75 for some time. •In August he will bring in college student from Eastern Kentucky University as an intern. The student will assist with grant writing, and work on the city’s insurance company rating at little or no cost to the city. •Finally, a new fire inspector just started who will do door-todoor inspections. “I just want to get involved in the community as much as I can,” said Aberbach. tws

Part Two - Puppies Picking a puppy is like buying shoes. You have figured out you want snow boots, but now you have to find the boot that fits YOUR foot. Consult with a professional trainer/instructor BEFORE you pick your puppy. They have lots of useful tools to help you make the right choice about which puppy suits you best. TINY puppies are cute, but need to be with their litter and mother at a minimum until they are 8-10 weeks old. How come? Because they learn bite inhibition by playing with their mother and other siblings during that time. This is ESPECIALLY important for herding breeds. Herding breeds tend to bite and nip more. If they don’t learn that bite inhibition at that time, they are far more likely to bite inappropriately and aggressively when they mature. YIKES!!!! If you intend to get a puppy younger than that, you need to be absolutely sure you know how to encourage bite inhibition. Anyone who tries to give you a puppy younger than that is doing a disservice to the dog and YOU!

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

Two puppies (especially siblings) are not better than one, unless you don’t want to have any relationship at all with your dogs. They will love each other, bond with each other, and leave you out of the loop. The only one that really benefits from you taking two puppies is the breeder!! Waiting until your dog is six months old to start training is like waiting until your child is 17 then enrolling them in kindergarten. Yeah, it can work, but usually it’s hard to set them up for success in the real world that way! The Lassie Pill. They are a little expensive, about $5,000, but, sure enough, your dog will become Lassie. This pill will instantly stop all behavior problems, especially those that have been going on for six or seven years with no effort on your part whatsoever to stop them. You realize, of course, that it is going to cost you about that much over the dog’s lifetime to fix the things that get chewed because of separation anxiety, in veterinary bills for things ingested, perhaps in a lawsuit because your dog bit someone, or if your dog gets hit by a car when he ran across a downtown street to see your best friend while he wasn’t wearing a leash or collar. All the things

that could have been PREVENTED by early training with a professional. Puppies biting fingers is not cute or acceptable because they are teething. What you teach them as puppies are behaviors they will think are acceptable when they GROW UP! Now imagine that this puppy you let teethe on you is a German shepherd! Grabbing clothing as an older dog is downright disrespectful as well. In this day of litigation for everything, this could become a HUGE problem for you and your dog down the road. Replace your hand with a toy. Be cautious of the trainer/ instructor that will tell you what you WANT to hear, not what is necessarily good for you and your dog. Always remember—you will certainly get what you pay for. And you will get out of it what YOU put into it. Ask for references and years of experience when hiring a “trainer/instructor.” There are other trainers/instructors who will disagree with me on every point above.

Meet the Valley: Leanne Carlson

My grandparents on both sides of the family had land adjoining ours—so I essentially had six parents growing up. The grandparents were of ordinary wealth and both had come through the depression. One set realized everything could disappear tomorrow. And their response was to thoroughly enjoy money by allowing it to move easily to everyone around them in surprising and beautiful ways. The other set, although also generous, was deeply shaped by fear of scarcity. It drove them to save, reuse, and collect everything. Wrapping paper was carefully cut and re-folded, wax paper used until it fell apart. From empty paint cans to shelving, everything was saved for some possible future need. It was also difficult for them to enjoy the gifts we gave them. Most were kept in their original boxes, carefully protected. I feel in myself and see in others both the tug of scarcity and the irresistible pull of generosity that is free, fearless, and abundant. Neither has much to do with relative wealth or even the circumstances through which we’ve come. Generosity is, ultimately, simply a way we learn to move through life.

Other Mother’s Day BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

This Sunday, we celebrate Mother’s Day. My warm wishes go out to all those mothers in the world that we love and appreciate but, what about the mothers-in-law in our lives? How about them? I had one I’d like to tell you about. Her name was Shirley and to know her was quite an experience – one that you’d never forget. She was a large, imposing woman who wore moo-moos, lived on a farm, ran the state liquor store, drank two pitchers of martinis every night and had such strong shocking opinions on everything that it would make the common man recoil in horror. Other than that, she was a pretty good egg with a marvelous sense of humor who both loved and hated me for several years. Let’s review. One morning she tried to electrocute me. I accompanied her on her chores one rainy morning and while we were opening the gate to feed the chickens, she told me to grab the wire fence. She then turned on the electricity and sent me sprawling into the mud, vibrating and aglow with the “juice.” The sound of her laughter still rings in my

ears. What fun—shock the new guy who was courting her daughter. Boy, that woman could laugh and this was the most amusing part of her day. Later, she got into her 1968 Ford Mustang and peeled off down the country road on her way to open the liquor store at speeds of up to 80 miles per hour, cursing anyone and everything that was in her way. What a gal! That night she returned in a roar, unleashed her killer German shepherd from the barn, fired a shotgun at an unsuspecting crow and tore into the house. Then I was introduced to “martini hour.” Pour one bottle of vodka into a large pitcher of ice, spray sherry from an atomizer—ten times—and commence stirring. With a large wooden spoon, I would stir 100 times to the right and then 100 times to the left before I was directed to fill up the martini glasses around the table where she held court with friends, members of her family, loved ones and me. Then she would pontificate on the world’s events in a rambling accusatory style that would rival Rush Limbaugh or any other conservative, bigoted radio despot. If you disagreed with her,

you became her enemy for life. I was doomed from the start but I kept stirring new pitchers while nodding and smiling. How would this woman and I ever coincide about anything? Fortunately, I knew how to play the guitar fairly well and, upon her command, started playing and singing old Italian love songs. What a breakthrough that was. The music stirred her soul as well as the martinis. She became a warm, loving person totally enthralled by the music. “Keep playing, Spa,” the local audience implored. “It’s our only chance!” I played non-stop for almost two hours until she mercifully slipped into a “coma” and retired for the night. I had found the answer, and from then on I knew how to quiet the beast. Music soothed her. I was never without my guitar while in her presence again. It worked for five-and-ahalf years, until the divorce. I heard she had put out a contract on me which is why I returned to show business and played Italian love songs in dives until her death a few years ago. That’s amore… Nice talking to you.

Old Cutters wants to move forward with the City of Hailey with an agreement that is fair, reasonable & legal. The decision by the City of Hailey to continue litigating with Old Cutters is unfortunate – especially for the residents of Hailey, who have seen their city already incur over $273,000 of legal fees fighting losing battles in two different Federal courts. Both of these courts were firm in stating Idaho cities can only include certain State authorized provisions in agreements. Even if both parties agree, including unauthorized provisions is illegal, and makes those parts of the agreement unenforceable. Rather than accept the opinions meticulously detailed by both Judge Papas over a year ago, and Judge Lodge one month ago, City leaders have decided to spend even more taxpayer money appealing again. The City, however, is not appealing these two decisions because it thinks it will win on appeal. Instead, the City told Cutters it would not appeal if Cutters signed a mutual release from further claims. When Cutters refused, the City claimed that it had no choice but to appeal. That is, the City is willing to spend additional taxpayer money on a case it knows it will not win simply because it was unable to extract a promise from Cutters that it was not entitled to demand. The question then becomes: why is Cutters unwilling to sign a release of claims against the City? Cutters is unwilling to do so because it does not believe that the lot owners in Cutters should have to pay for impacts to the City that Old Cutters already paid for through the $1.3 annexation fees it has paid to the City. This unwillingness is not based solely on the theory that it is unfair for the City to charge Cutters lot owners for impacts for which the City has already been compensated, but also because Idaho law does not allow a city to “double-dip.” To explain further, when Cutters was annexed, Hailey had no development impact fee ordinance. Therefore, when someone got a building permit for a project, he or she did not have to pay a development impact fee. To account for the impact of additional development on City resources, the Cutters annexation fee was calculated, in part, to cover these expenses. After Cutters was annexed, however, the City enacted a development impact fee ordinance. Importantly, this ordinance is designed to cover the very same development impacts that were used to calculate the Cutters’ annexation fee. Despite this fact, the City refused to exempt Cutters lot owners from paying the impacts fees required by this statute. Instead, the City is demanding that these property owners pay twice for the same thing. While Old Cutters is eager to avoid further litigation, it does not want to sign a mutual release with Hailey, and in doing so enable Hailey to defy state law, charging twice for the same item. Cutters is confident, based on the recent judicial opinions, that the courts will similarly condemn Hailey for wanting to charge twice for the same item, in clear violation of Idaho state law. Old Cutters urges Hailey city leaders to recognize that the best interest of Hailey is served by obeying the law, rescinding its recently filed appeal, and putting this unfortunate matter to rest.

Readers curious to read either Judge Papas’ decision, or Judge Lodge’s decision, may find them in their entirety at www.oldcutters.com under the tab “About”, “News and Legal situation”, “Judge’s decisions”
