McCord Shares Fresh Dreams

Al McCord STORY & PHOTOS BY BRENNAN REGO THE KETCHUM KEYSTONE

The Wood River Sustainability Center makes it easy for Valley residents to eat locally produced, great grub such as fresh greens from Hailey, raw cow’s milk and grass-fed meats. Located at 308 S. River Street in Hailey, it’s a one-stop shop for foods grown or produced within about 200 miles, said owner Al McCord in an interview. “Many people’s food choices come out of convenience,” he said. “One of my goals is to teach people that healthy food can be convenient.” McCord, a cancer survivor with 26 years of experience in the restaurant industry, said he purchased the Sustainability Center from founders Melinda and Dick Springs about a year ago. Because of his experience fighting the big C, he often thinks about how health and nutrition tie into all aspects of life and lifestyle. “Most people who live in the Valley moved here for the quality of life,” he said. “We mountain bike, ski, fly-fish, all of it. With that, we also need nutritious food. It’s a big player in quality of life. We need to think about what it takes to make sure we’re mentally, physically and nutritionally sound.” The Springs established the center about four years ago, with the vision of providing a source for “beyond organic” foods to the community, McCord said. “That means you know who the farmers are and what their practices are,” McCord said. “Like the farm where I get my raw cow milk from, Desert Winds Farm in Blackfoot. There’s a face behind it. Every product has a story.” Now that he’s holding the center’s reins, McCord’s goals include teaching people how to grow food themselves and prepare their labor’s fruits in healthy and savory ways. He currently holds monthly cooking classes and educational farm-to-table dinners. He also mentors local students on the farm-to-table approach to food. “I’ve done classes on home fer-

Envisioning A Compassionate Community Courtesty Photo BY BAILEY CLEAVEN JUNIOR AT WOOD RIVER HIGH SCHOOL

envision a community whose members respect each other in their everyday lives and fight against discrimination of any kind. A community where every relationship embodies a healthy and happy life free from abuse. A community where everyone has the freedom to be themselves without the fear of judgment. A community where everyone sticks up for one another and supports one another through difficult times. A community free of hateful messages that instead provides empowering positive messages. But the fact is that it is human nature to judge others by their appearance as soon as they step through the

door in order to get an idea of who they are. But the trick is we should not let our unconscious minds bias our opinion of them based on these initial observations before actually getting to know who they truly are. In a truly compassionate community, everyone would be able to create their own identity that everyone would recognize them by instead of being recognized by other peoples observed judgments. I envision a community where everyone understands the importance of cooperation and although people may have disagreements, the solution would never be violence. In this community everyone would be able to live in peace with one another.

utter Grathwohl, a Community School junior, says that his passion in life is to learn. It’s a way he says “to connect your surroundings through the reason that all facts mean something.” Grathwohl takes that passion to his studies as he carries a 4.09 grade point average and has taken Advanced Placement calculus, literature, language and U.S. history. He is also a mogul skier on the Sun Valley Ski Team and spends his free time working as a graffiti and portrait artist and playing the guitar. Grathwohl was born at Moritz Community Hospital in Sun Valley and has lived his whole life in the Valley, now residing in Hailey after growing up in Ketchum. “I like Hailey more and the traffic isn’t nearly as bad during the holidays. But living in Ketchum you have Bald Mountain and that’s one helluva backdrop. It’s the best feature of the Valley.”

Let’s face it—we won a genetic lottery and now we live with the top 1 percent of the world in this area.”-Cutter He added, “Besides being able to ski every day, it’s been great growing up here. You see a lot of things and by seeing the outdoors all the time it grounds you in a reality that’s more realistic to what’s going on. Kids in the city can get caught up in a bubble that’s not of this world. I love a small town because everyone knows each other but

I’d like to meet new people and not be so careful because you never know whose parents are watching you,” he says with a laugh. “This Valley affords you the opportunity to grow but it’s a double edged sword because I’ve known these kids my whole life and we’re restless to experience bigger things than this valley can afford.” One of those experiences was a trip Grathwohl took with three other friends and six adults last year to Guatemala to build a house for a needy family. “One of our friends was going, so at the last minute we decided to join him. Socrates said that the three things you need to do in life were to father a child, write a book and build a house so we decided to sign up. What struck us most was the poverty and how little the people got by on but were still so happy. The conversion rate for our money was 7-1 so we were able to buy so much. No one in town could break our bills. The whole thing really gave you a perspective on how fortunate and lucky we are. The ability to spend so much time outdoors is really amazing here and really impacts your personality. But we are so affluent here, and how lucky we are! Let’s face it—we won a genetic lottery and now we live with the top 1 percent of the world in this area.” As to building the house, Grathwohl said, “I’m pretty proud because all the instructions were in half English and we were always yelled at and then the supplies were never arriving in time. We had to measure and cut boards, build the frame and the roof, tarpaper and shingle the roof and then stucco the exterior. I had never done anything like that before. The whole thing made me feel really good but the down side is that you realize that a big part of doing this as Americans was to feel good about ourselves. If we had used the money that we spent on plane tickets and living on supplies, it would have made a bigger impact. It was selfish in the way it was selfless.” tws

mentation, canning and pickling,” he said. McCord said one of the goals of the center’s 1,800-square-foot garden is to teach those interested in developing their green thumbs how to get their own dirt beds to sprout out edibles. “I want to be able to teach people that no matter what space they have, they can grow food,” he said. “The vision is to have the garden be a fully demonstrational and functional garden. There’s a misconception that growing food at this elevation is difficult. It’s really not so hard. Especially with greenhouses, it’s easy.” Another of McCord’s goals is to establish the center as a lunch café with a simple and delicious menu based on the foods available at the center each season. “I see the center as a little bit of everything,” he said. “It’s a community resource for local foods.” McCord’s favorite meal is wild Alaska salmon on a fresh bed of Sustainability Center greens with croutons made out of the

center’s daily-baked, house-fermented sourdough, drizzled with one of the center’s locally made dressings. “The greens are on fire right now,” he said, speaking of the center’s spring sampling of arugula, spinach and mixed greens. “We’re also starting to get some incredible basil.” Other snacky supplies at the center include house-made yogurt, buttermilk, mozzarella, ricotta, whey, kefir and butter produced from the center’s raw cow milk; local, grass-fed elk, lamb, beef and pork and organic chicken; raw and unpasteurized

As we move into the time for the 17th annual Wellness Festival for the Wood River Valley, my thoughts go to the blessings we have to get to live here—the clean air, beautiful mountains and the opportunities that abound for us to experience the joy of life. From my perspective that is what creates wellness. We all would love to be fit, happy, joyful and, of course, abundant in funds and loving relationships. I have come to know that the outer world absolutely reflects my own inner world. If I am feeling empowered, things just flow. My job is to be conscious of what thoughts I am allowing into my space and to choose things or thoughts that truly fill “my soul” and let all the rest go. When I work with clients,

we explore the thoughts that run their lives, examine how these thoughts are creating their experience and come up with a plan to change the reality they don’t enjoy. There are many ways to change reality, you can change the story, you can develop a new response, you can change your habits and your thoughts. It is always an adventure to see how creative we can be in developing a new way of living. I would encourage everyone to take the opportunity to explore the Wellness Festival from May 22 to May 26 as it presents a multitude of ways to change your thoughts and your life. Go to sunvalley wellness. org to see a list of these amazing programs. If you are interested in spending some time with Dolora to explore changing your reality, contact her at dolora@cox.net.

For one thing, you’re not paying for pesticides, he said. “I want people to walk around the store and see great prices,” he said. “I want to be the most affordable place in the Valley for local foods.” At the end of the day, he said the center is all about helping people. “I want people to realize that they can pursue a healthy lifestyle by making small changes in their lives,” he said. “It only takes 21 days to make a habit.” What foods does he avoid? “GMOs and Coca-Cola,” he said. “I think that anything you can dissolve a penny in can’t be good for you.”

Cari’s Hair Care & Day Spa is Proud to Introduce the doTERRA Line of Essential Oils. Essential Oils Can & Will Change Our Life! Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or the smell of fresh cut mint, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. Essential oils can lift the mood, calm the senses and elicit powerful emotional responses. Yet the use of essential oils goes well beyond their fragrant appeal. Essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. Modern trends toward more holistic approaches to self care and growing scientific validation of alternative health practices are driving a rediscovery of the profound health benefits of essential oils. Many have powerful cleansing properties and are naturally antimicrobial. Their unique chemical structure allows them to pass directly through the skin for immediate systemic response to topical application. Certain oils may be used as dietary aids to promote vitality and well-being.

‘checkered lily and daffodil.’ BY BALI SZABO

May is racing by, keeping pace with the Run for the Roses and the Preakness at Pimlico. The month started off cool, moist (we don’t know wet) and windy, and forced me to the sidelines to watch grass grow. Panic was setting in. Seeding had to be finished, which meant the target beds had to be cleaned, the dandelions and crabgrass pulled, the soils re-worked and re-fed. In a wild garden, feeding has to be very selective. Wild plants, especially the migrants, take root in the ‘worst’ soil. Desert parsley grows happily in the piste wasteland. Arrowleaf balsamroot migrated here from the slopes of Carbonate, and not a single one is growing in re-worked soil. (A lot of wildflowers grow in disturbed soil, like Gaillardia and four o’clocks.)

waking up in an ambulance. “One lady said, ‘You finished the swim in the ambulance—your arms and legs were still going.’ I was a mile ahead of the person who went on to become the first in history to swim under 10 hours,” he said. In 1956 Huffaker went back one more time, even training with the British Long-Distance Swimming Association. But bad weather prevented the attempt. He never tried again. He took his degree and moved to Honolulu.

Teresa Tamura will discuss “Minidoka: An American Concentration Camp”

A free presentation at 4 p.m. Saturday at The Community Library in Ketchum. The Walla Walla, Wash., photographer’s new book documents the Minidoka internment camp in Jerome County, Idaho, and its survivors, who were uprooted from their homes in Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California. She also documents many artifacts that were made or found there. Her book comprises 180 black-and-white photographs supplemented by essays and interviews. Tamura is a third generation Japanese-American, born and raised in Nampa, Idaho. She received a BA in journalism from Idaho State University and an MFA in photography from the University of Washington. She taught photojournalism at the University of Montana from 2002 to 2007.

The Fruits Of Alcohol

But he didn’t close the book on long-distance swimming. When Danish Olympic gold medalist Greta Andersen tried and failed to swim the Molokai Channel, Huffaker decided to try the crossing in Hawaii’s 72-degree waters. “I did dental work with lepers in Molokai and in a colony on Oahu, and the distance between the two was 26 miles. I began training again—mostly swimming. People weren’t jocks then—if I had jogged through my neighborhood, people would have called the police because they were not used to seeing someone running.” The blockbuster thriller “Jaws” was yet to be released when Huffaker made his 1967 swim, but Huffaker didn’t need John Williams’ ominous theme song running through his head to give him a chill as a 16-foot tiger shark appeared in front of him. He took one look at its teeth, which could have sliced through his flesh and bone in an instant, and headed for his escort boat. But the shark swam between him and his boat. “It came back towards me again and then turned away. Ultimately, I reached my goal after 16 hours,” he said. “My mother read about it while reading a newspaper on a bus in Paris.” Huffaker learned how fortunate he was when a shark was caught the next day. It contained the remains of four humans presumed to have drowned when a boat capsized in the vicinity while he was making his swim. In 1970 Huffaker decided to become the first to swim the 30-mile Alenuihaha Channel between the Big Island and Maui. The send-off was a bit unsettling, as the host of a dinner held just before the swim

find them in forsaken, ignored corners that get a touch of incidental water. California poppies do the same thing, but will also grow in normal garden soil. They’re easy. I remember seeing them along the Mendocino coast, growing in clumps among the dunes in sandy, well-drained, lean soil. Rocky Mountain sunflowers and pentsemon are the same. A wild hollyhock is growing in the middle of a path, along with the indiscriminate flax and fescue. This garden, or space, has several personalities, from the lush to the sparse, from moisture-retentive shade to arid sagebrush steppe. The central characteristic is that it’s a chemically free, natural space, a poison-free oasis. It’s sensible to grow plants that generally belong here, in a semi-arid, high-altitude environment. Natives do get a preference over outsiders. I admit it, I discriminate against tourists.

One visitor I welcome with open arms is the bird. Those that are born here and then return here are natives. The happy-hour party at the feeder could use two additions – music and alcohol. Animals love alcohol. I thought of spiking the birdbath with beer. Bad idea, because beer has preservatives, and canned beer has a sealant that is harmful to all of us. That’s true of canned

played a video of an annual shark hunt held at the starting point. Huffaker watched, his stomach churning, as locals dragged a dead cow out to sea, initiating a shark-feeding frenzy. Still, he went through with his swim, crossing it in 20 hours. It took 39 years before someone replicated his feat in 2009. Huffaker went on to become the first to cross the 9.3-mile Kalohi Channel from Molokai to Lanai. Fueled on Snickers bars, coffee and soup—Huffaker said they didn’t know about sports nutrition then—he swam numerous others, including the 8.5-mile Palilolo Channel from Maui to Molokai. And in 1972 he became the first to cross the Molokai Channel in reverse order—from Oahu to Molokai.

Paralyzed

Three hours before sunrise, as he played Neil Diamond songs in his mind, he ran into a brood of Portuguese man-o-wars. Stung repeatedly and unmercifully, his throat swelled. “It was like someone threw acid in my face,” he recounted. “I had an allergic reaction and I ended up having to swim six hours without being able to use my legs because the toxins temporarily paralyzed me below my waist.” Already in desperate straits, Huffaker saw a tiger shark circling below him a mile from shore. “I decided, ‘It’s either me or the shark and I’m not stopping,’ ” Huffaker recounted. “When you’re swimming like that, sometimes you get delusions of euphoric grandeur; sometimes you get plain pissed.” The shark circled a few more times and then disappeared, leaving Huffaker to add another channel to the notches on his swim trunks. “My tongue would swell and my lips would swell because of the saltwater and sunburn. But swimming for me was like a runner’s high. I was a pioneer doing things that had never been thought of or tried before.” In 1989, at age 50, Huffaker attempted one last feat before hanging up his dental drill and making the move to Sun Valley. He joined together with the Rotary clubs to raise money for college scholarships for high school students by

food in general. I have decided to give them fruit, which ferments naturally – the wild yeast in the air combines with the sugar. A similar process takes place in making a sourdough ‘starter.’ Animals may not care for humanity, but there’s one thing they like about us. In northern India, population growth is squeezing wild elephant habitat. The elephants are coming down from the hills and jungles to raid farms and villages. They eat all that’s edible. Once in the village, they go for the local micro-brewery. (Villagers make their own; there are no Budweiser trucks.) They smash all the kegs and drink every drop. This upsets the locals to no end. ‘Eat my tomatoes, dig up my onions and yams, trample my home, but don’t drink my beer!’ tws

making a three-island swim. He swam from Lanai to Maui for a short breakfast stop of donuts and coffee, then from Maui to Molokai for a quick lunch. Strong winds blew him off course as he attempted the final Molokai-toMaui leg, but his 18-hour swim still raised $225,000. Huffaker’s exploits were well followed—the Honolulu Star-Bulletin even published banner headlines across the front page when he didn’t complete a swim. And in 2002 he was inducted into the Hawaii Swimming Hall of Fame. In 1970 he founded the 2.4-mile Waikiki Rough-Water Swim—the length of the swim in the Iron Man competition was taken from that event. “The first year we got 17 swimmers. Now it gets an average of 12,000,” Huffaker said. Today Huffaker lives in a log home on the side of a forested hill. Ox yokes, snowshoes, trophy heads, wagon-wheel chandeliers and other relics of the West hang there amidst mementoes of island life, including handmade miniature outriggers turned into cribbage boards and swimming awards. His swimsuit, goggles and a T-shirt commemorating his prowess are on display in the main terminal of the Honolulu International Airport. Letters of congratulations from people like astronaut James Lovell and Hawaiian Sen. Daniel Inouye fill a notebook of newspaper articles three inches thick. “It’s very satisfying to look back on those times. Hawaii had just become a state. It was casual, fun,” he said. “It’s a different world out there today. The sport has exploded. People are trying to swim everything. There were five organized events around the world when I was swimming. There are 4,000 now.” Huffaker still swims—at Zenergy’s year-round outdoor pool. He supplements swimming with hiking, biking and snowshoeing. “Swimming is still my go-to sport for feeling good, although it’s not as much fun swimming back and forth in a pool. And it’s a short season here!” he said. “I still revel in the ocean when I go back to Hawaii.”

Survival Against The Sea STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK & COURTESY PHOTOS

When the waves got too powerful, she shoved her arms into the water, envisioning them pushing Cuba back even as they pushed Florida toward her. She wore a silicone mask, full bodysuit, gloves and booties to protect her against Portuguese man-of-wars, which could have paralyzed her with a single sting. She was flanked by a kayaker who could protect her from sharks with an electronic shark repellant but couldn’t protect her from the warm water that dehydrated her, the cold that put her at risk of hypothermia or the saltwater that cut her mouth so badly she would not be able to eat for a week. What those watching Diana Nyad’s historic 110-mile swim from Havana to Key West could not see was the mental duress. “Your head is covered up with a cap, your eyes are covered with goggles and you’re turning your head 52 times a minute so you don’t see anything and you don’t hear anything. I had a playlist of 85 songs from The Beatles to Dylan that I sang in my head. I would listen to an Everly Brothers song in my mind… ‘I’ve been cheated, been mistreated. When will I be loved?’ … a thousand times in a row,” she said, pausing to sing the lines. “I’d hear their harmonies, hear the guitar strumming and I’d splash along in 4/4 rhythm. I know when I’ve sung that song a thousand times I’ve reached 6 hours and 45 minutes exactly. Then I’d start counting to 10,000—in English, then German, then Spanish, then French.” But, with sensory deprivation that exceeded even that which Mount Everest climbers experience, there came a certain point where Nyad couldn’t even count anymore. “Then you are really in another universe. Then you are in your left brain instead of your right brain and you are hallucinating. You’re thinking about the meaning of life and you’re out there tripping out in the universe. The last time, I saw the Taj Mahal. And I was hanging on by a thread—I thought I was going to get in trouble because I was going to walk out in the sand in front of it instead of staying in the water. The shark divers were in the water with me and I told them: Can you see it? It’s right there.” Nyad, who swam from Cuba to Florida at age 64, will be this year’s keynote speaker at the Sun Valley Wellness Festival. She will speak at 6 p.m. Friday in the Limelight Room of the Sun Valley Inn. She will also be the featured guest at a reception before her speech and a dinner afterwards. The daughter of a New York stockbroker and his wife, Nyad won three state high school championships as a teen-ager after her family moved to Florida. But a bout of endocarditis [inflammation of the lining of the heart and its valves] at 17 slowed her. After failing to make the 1968 Summer Olympics, someone suggested she try marathon swimming and soon she was setting records swimming across the Bay of Naples and

other bodies of water around the world. She was studying at New York University when a friend challenged her: “You live on the most famous island of the world. Why don’t you swim around that?” Intrigued, Nyad learned that no woman had ever done that before. So, in 1975, she eased herself into the Hudson River and swam 28 miles around Manhattan Island. “I had no earthly idea any media—or the public—would be interested. But people took off work and lined up around the battery and by the Statue of Liberty during the eight hours it took me to swim around the island. And then they flew me out to the Johnny Carson Show,” Nyad told The Weekly Sun.

incredible acts of endurance, Nyad has danced the fox-trot on “Dancing with the Stars,” raised $105,000 participating in a 48-hour swim for victims of Hurricane Sandy, toured St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, been interviewed by Oprah Winfrey and gone to the White House to meet President Obama. “It was a historic event and I’m very gratified by the inspiration that people felt. President Obama said it was inspirational for him and, given all the different people he meets, of course, that was a grand moment for

grounded to let any of that truly change me. I’ve been a public speaker for 35 years. I’ve been standing up in front of groups for 35 years. And I’m still doing all that, including writing a memoir that they believe is going to be one of the inspirational books for our time,” she said. “The desire and resolve to swim from Cuba really did not have to do with sports and achievement and fame and people giving me accolades. It had to do with my wanting to be that person who does not give up. And that pride affects me more than any accolades.”

“The only victory possible” Galvanized by the interest the swim generated, Nyad swam 102 miles from the Bahamas to Florida four years later, setting a distance record for non-stop swimming without a wetsuit. In 1978, at the age of 28, she first attempted to swim from Cuba to the United States to fulfill a dream she’d had since she was 8. But strong westerly winds and eight-foot swells slammed her against the shark cage in which she was swimming and pushed her off course toward Texas. She called it quits after 76 miles. Shoulder pain and an 11-hour asthma attack short-circuited a second attempt. A third and fourth swim were stopped after jellyfish and Portuguese manof-war stings caused respiratory distress, and a ferocious lightning storm threatened everyone’s safety. During these years Nyad covered the Iditarod and boxing matches for TV. She hosted a public radio program called “The Savvy Traveler” and contributed to National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered” and CBS News’ “Sunday Morning” show. And she wrote three books, including a training book for women, a biography of NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson and a memoir, which she dubbed “Other Shores.” Marathon swimming, she explained, is a battle for survival against the sea, with touching the other shore the only victory possible. Nyad began her fifth attempt on Aug. 31, 2013, with a 35-person support team that included doctors who would swim out from the boat to check her in the ocean and friends who fed her spoons full of peanut butter. She focused on a long pole dangling in the water that kept her swimming in a straight line. Ringed by supporters who kept others from touching her until she touched sand, she staggered onto the sands of Key West and pumped her fist in the air: “Never, ever give up! And you’re never too old to chase your dreams!”

this era. The filmmakers—my nephew made the film—took that from 420 hours of footage and played up how I was healing with every stroke. But, while I swam with a lot of anger when I was younger, it’s not true that I’m still working out that drama.” Nyad will mount a one-woman show in Los Angeles in early August. The show will feature the drama of her swim at its core, as well as those of famous and not-famous people that she’s met. “I dream big. I want to go to Broadway with that show,” she said. She also is formulating another big event for the summer of 2016. “I still have a good, strong, youthful body and I do believe I am in my prime in many ways,” she said. “At this age, I’m going to reach for the stars in every way I can.”

For the most part, however, Nyad says she’s continuing to do what she’s always done—from taking her dog to the beach near her Los Angeles home at sunrise to being “enthralled by this life that we get to live with the beauty on this blue planet.” “While some things have changed, I am too old and too

Much is made in “The Other Shore,” a documentary about Nyad’s quest, of a sexual assault against a teen-age Nyad by her swim coach—an Olympian and Hall of Fame coach. But Nyad said her anger over that incident is not what drove her as she made her historic swim. “That story is not part of

Living Through The Rise And Fall STORY AND COURTESY PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

Holocaust survivor will make two free presentations in the Valley this week. Ninetythree-yearold Rose Beal will share her story at 6 tonight at the Community School Theater. The Community School presentation will be followed by a reception. Beal will also speak at 1 p.m. Thursday at the Wood River Middle School. That presentation

is also open to the public. Beal, who lives in Boise, was 11 when Adolf Hitler rose to power in Nazi Germany. She and her family spent nearly three years trying to escape the country. They finally were able to come to New York in 1939. Beal will share her experiences of trying to emigrate, not being able to attend school, listening to Nazi troops sing about spilling Jewish

blood in the streets and being beaten by soldiers. As Hitler continued to gain power, she and her family were rousted from their Frankfurt home in the middle of the night and packed on a train of 17,000 people headed for Auschwitz and the German-Polish borderlands. Just 200 of those people managed to get away to leave the country. Beal’s visit was made possible by Leslie and Mike Feltman, Heidi Campbell and the director of the Idaho Human Rights Education Center in Boise. The center operates the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial and the Rose Beal Legacy Garden in Boise. Feltman said Beal came to her attention when her Girl Scout Troop No. 230 visited the Anne Frank Memorial Park last year to learn about human rights while studying slavery in the chocolate industry. She took the girls back during spring break this year to have docent Don Curtis lead them through the traveling Anne Frank exhibit, and several of the girls created artwork for the Idaho Human Rights Education Center. Two of the girls—Maren Feltman of Wood River Middle School and Elle Mann of Pioneer Montessori—won awards for

the way i see it

their art. “As part of our effort to raise awareness about human rights, we have been working to bring Rose to our Valley. The girls are very excited to meet her next week. I have a book with stories from 100 surviving Jewish students of their school days in Frankfurt, Germany, during the Nazi era and Rose’s story is in

the book,” Feltman said. Students, their parents and friends of Wood River Middle School have been baking and selling goodies so the kids can make a donation to Beal when she is here, Feltman said. A chestnut sapling from the tree Anne Frank looked at through the window while hid-

ing from the Nazis in Amsterdam will be planted in the Rose Beal Legacy Garden at the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial in Boise. Only 11 of these saplings will be planted in the United States. tws On Thursday—the same day that Rose Beal speaks at Wood River Middle School— six of the girls from Troop 230 will be earning the Silver Award—the highest award that these girls can earn at their level. “The CEO of Silver Sage Girl Scouts will be coming not only to hear Rose speak but to give these girls their award. They will also be receiving a national Girl Scout award for community service. They each volunteered over 20 hours—some many hours more—with Special Olympics.” The troop volunteered dozens of hours helping with the regional Special Olympics games and the state Special Olympics games, both of which were held in Sun Valley. They put on a breakfast for 400 people in conjunction with the event and gave everyone who came to the games a box of Girl Scout cookies in addition to a goody bag filled with Smith and K2 stickers, Cox chapstick, keychains, coupons for hot chocolate, Clif Bars, postcards, Sun Valley Resort chocolates, Horizon organic milk, and more.

icture yourself at the corner of Main Street and Sun Valley Road in your new car from Google with the spinning laser on the roof. You’re in a self-driving car that has been programmed to go anywhere in Blaine County without the need for a driver. What does this mean for local residents? Well, for one thing, you can ride around and text, talk on your phone and never have to worry about traffic and driving rules and conduct. It’s the ideal vehicle for all of us who just can’t seem to pay attention while piloting our cars and trucks. You see, Google has mapped out all the twists and turns of every piece of paved road in the entire Wood River Valley. They’re all about safety, as well, as they realized everything we do is about upholding the reputation of this new technology. Google has been working on

this concept for the last five years and it’s all about the digital maps of the area that direct the self-driving vehicles on their daily commutes. Every possible safety question has been answered and incorporated into the function of this experimental ride so that one may start the ignition of your car in your garage, step on the gas and be safely taken to work each and every morning. This will allow the owner to read the newspaper, text friends, check stock quotes on the Internet, sip coffee, quaff a Danish and check last night’s sports scores in complete safety devoid of the frustrations of worry and road rage. You arrive at work each day completely rested and raring to go. As of now, the cost of owning one of these vehicles is prohibitive, which means only about 40 or 50 of our wealthiest citizens will be able to take advantage of this new technology in the near future. However, in five

Imagine stretching out in the back seat and chatting with friends as your car takes you to work. Software lead on this project, Dmitri Dolgov, says, “We can do rain and fog reasonably well but we haven’t given snow much thought just yet.” I haven’t given much thought to anything as of late and, with the diminishing snowpack of the last few years, I believe it will be safe to assume that snow will be an option no longer seen in these parts. By 2020, we’ll all be driven safely around in peace and quiet without having to pay attention to our fellow man. This is all that we ever prayed for in those pesky morning commutes. Enjoy the future now. Nice talking to you.

Painting Tour

Inez Storer put on her game face for her new exhibition at Gail Severn Gallery. Many of the paintings in the intriguing exhibition were inspired by the graphics of old game boards and how they tell a history and show how life has changed. “Big Business,” Storer notes, debuted in 1932 right after the Depression “and it appears so hopeful.” Another is a rather battered medieval-looking game board she found in a flea market in Italy. To it she’s added a castle, a windmill and the word “bamboozled.” There’s even a painting based on “Clue” that bears Storer’s touches. The paintings are part of Storer’s new exhibition, “Hidden Agendas—Statement on Paintings.” The exhibit, which will be up through June 27, will be on view during Saturday’s Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. at Gail Severn Gallery, 400 First Avenue N., in Ketchum. One of Storer’s new paintings depicts a tiny “Painting Tour” boat pulling a tinier barge boasting paintbrushes and canvas in front of a French liner named Liberte.

End Your Affair With Money BY KAREN BOSSICK

resa Leftenant had been a certified financial advisor for more than 20 years. But she had a dirty little secret that would have killed her practice had anyone known. She had amassed $30,000 worth of credit card debt. “I was a shopaholic, using shopping to hide from my problems, which included low self-esteem, boyfriend problems and children acting out,” she said. “I finally realized that if this was going to change, it was up to me. I’ve changed my life drastically in the past 15 years.” Her own personal transformation was so successful that Leftenant wrote the book “Reinventing Her: Helping Women Plan For, Pursue and Capitalize on Your Next Chapter.” She also began teaching others to draw up their own money reinvention blueprints. She will offer a presentation, “Your Money or Your Life: Why Divorcing Your Relationship with Money is the Key to Reinventing Your Life,” at 9:30 a.m. Sunday in the Sawtooth Room at Sun Valley Resort. She also will present the workshop, “Ultimate Wellness: Your Personal Money Reinvention,” from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Monday, May 26, in the Camas Room of the Sun Valley Inn. “Money is a reflection of our wellness, our psychological and physical health. Once you reinvent one area, you reinvent all areas,” she said. “I don’t like the word ‘change,’ ” she added. “ ‘Change’ can often bring up feelings of resistance or fear, so we talk about it in a more positive, forward-looking way: How can we reinvent connect to their most essential nature to support increased joy, clarity and vibrancy.

ourselves?” In 2008 when so many of Leftenant’s clients began sabotaging their financial plans because of their emotional reaction to the economic downturn, Leftenant began zeroing in on their internal motivations regarding money. “Most financial planners focus on the money and the investment. But I began to focus on what gets my clients up in the morning, what drives them. I help them connect with their dreams and core needs. Then I help them form a plan to attain those goals.” Among her clients was a woman in her 60s, who was penniless, working as a retail clerk at minimum wage and caring for her ill mother. The woman was depressed and hopeless, feeling like her time was over, Leftenant said. “I helped her realize that if she were to shift her way of looking at things that she could renew her life, reinvent her life. She’s now living in a Southern community where she has her own art business. She also has a beautiful man in her life, and this happened over a six- to eight-month period. The other day she texted me: ‘Sometimes I have to pinch myself when I think of how good my life is.’ ” Leftenant, who was born and raised in Twin Falls but now lives in Bellevue, Wash., credits the Sun Valley Wellness Festival with much of her success. She came as an attendee six years ago and has come ever since, eventually placing herself on the other side of the speaker’s podium. “The Wellness Festival is very instrumental in my story,” said Leftenant, who has a condo in Sun Valley. “And this year my program has evolved to a new high.” Information: sunvalleywellness.org tws

r. Sheila Walker can pick out children who have grown up in poverty— the hippocampus part of their brain, which is responsible for learning and memory, is smaller. “The learning is compromised because of chronic stress,” she says. “Over time, cortisol—a hormone released in response to stress—has an impact and the hippocampus atrophies. But, she says, the shrunken hippocampus of children living in traumatic circumstances can grow if they find a nurturing school that provides the safety and consistency they can’t get at home. “The body, the brain, is a dynamic system—one that you can always hope to get stronger. There’s never a cutoff point at which it can’t grow,” she says. Walker, adjunct professor at Arizona State University,

studies the biological effects of chronic stress and ways biological technology can enhance behavior, academics and health. She will lead a presentation,

“Harnessing Biobehavioral Science to Optimize Health,” at 11:15 a.m. Saturday in the Sun Valley Inn’s Limelight Room.

The lecture is among dozens being offered as part of the Sun Valley Wellness Festival. Walker is particularly interested in understanding how natural solutions like nutrition, exercise, sleep, mindset coaching and meditation can alleviate stress. “The biological embedding of stress is endemic to those living in poverty. But you find it in affluent people, as well,” she says. Continually engaging the mind in learning can keep the mind strong, just like heavy lifting keeps the muscles strong, she says. “There was a study in London where I used to live involving taxi drivers who had to take a test called ‘The Knowledge.’ London is a very complicated city to get around and the cognitive part of the taxi driver’s brain expanded as they learned all the streets, and how to get around. But once they stopped driving taxis, once they stopped practicing their skills, it shrank.” tws

EDUCATION: We educate individuals and their family and friends, answering questions regarding mental illness, current research, and treatment; we disseminate brochures and library materials; and to reduce stigma, we educate the community and raise public awareness about all aspects of mental illness. ADVOCACY: We advocate at the community and state levels on behalf of persons living with mental illness and their families. WHAT IS MENTAL ILLNESS? A mental illness is a medical condition that disrupts a person’s thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others, and daily functioning. Just as diabetes is a disorder of the pancreas, mental illnesses are medical conditions that often result in a diminished capacity for coping with the ordinary demands of life. Serious mental illnesses include major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, panic and anxiety disorders, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder. Mental illnesses can affect persons of any age, race, religion, or income. Mental illnesses are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character, or poor upbringing. For additional information, please contact us at 309-1987.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR MAY 21 FROM PICABO ANGLER

pening day is Saturday! In Picabo it may as well be Christmas morning and we might as well all be 12 years old! That’s the kind of buzz and excitement level we experience on Silver Creek’s opening day. Friends and families have gathered here for the opener over generations, and you should join us, too. This year will be extra special with the new Kilpatrick pond project completed and the huge amount of new fishing opportunity it represents. Rarely does a fishery see the massive improvement Silver Creek experienced over the off-season. We asked some of the Valley’s best anglers what they would tell someone heading to Silver Creek for their first opening day experience and this is what they had to say: John Huber: “I would tell anglers to head for the Creek in the evening. The hatches will be stronger and there will be half as many people fishing. Wait, I guess I’d head to the Creek in the afternoon, eat BBQ, say hello to fishing friends, and then head for the water.” Nick Price: “Forget about fishing the opener during daylight hours and spend that time hanging out at the Picabo Angler opening-day barbecue instead.” Bob Turzian: “Watch for hatches, but if you don’t see anything going on, a small soft hackle or bugger will produce strikes, especially the soft hackle, which has become a great early-season fly. I’d also think about fishing the upper Conservancy looking for midges in the morning and Sullivan’s Slough for Callibaetis in the afternoon.” Nick Anderson: “Come and have fun, enjoy the fantastic opportunity that is Silver Creek, let the fishing take care of itself, and don’t forget your glass rod!” David James: “Be patient and enjoy the scenery.” Tim Mansel (Idaho Angler): “Fly anglers have the opportunity to fish this world-renowned trout fishery, but for sure you will have your work cut out for you!” One can quickly read into these bits of advice that, even on opening weekend, the fish don’t all come easy! Regardless of where or when you fish Silver Creek on Saturday, be sure to stop in and see us at the Picabo Angler. We will be having our traditional opening-day barbecue, we will have our casting course set up for rod demos and an overall great fly-fishing buzz! Pun intended. The store will be open at 6:30 a.m. and the weather is looking spectacular. We’ll see you Saturday!

n adult child of an elderly client recently inquired as to why his 90-year-old mother had a sharp spike in her taxable income for the year. My response was, “She won—she outlived her annuity’s life expectancy, and now the insurance company is paying out of their pocket!” Years ago this client purchased a deferred annuity. Over a period of years it accumulated earnings credited to the policy by the insurance company. Eventually she converted the contract to an immediate annuity. Under IRS rules, a larger portion of this guaranteed monthly payout came to her partially tax free as it was considered a return of her principal. The insurance company bet she would die sooner; she bet she would live longer. She did live longer and eventually the contract paid back all of her principal plus accumulated earnings. Continued payments, for as long as she lives, are now taxable income. Living longer than their money ranks high on the list of financial insecurities for most Americans. Short of Social Security, there are few retirement income alternatives that guarantee an income source until death. An immediate annuity issued by an insurance company is one of those alternatives. According industry source LIMRA, sales of annuities hit

a record $8.3 billion last year. Apparently, it is registering on baby boomers that they need to rethink long-term income strategies! No wonder. With interest rates scraping the bottom, annuities look attractive. For instance, one company is paying about $8,000 annually on a $100,000 investment for an immediate, single-life annuity for a male age 72. There are two phases to an annuity. During the accumulation phase, the policy grows from tax-deferred interest or investment results credited to the policy by the insurance company. The contract enters the income phase when it is annuitized and begins paying out an income stream. The owner of the annuity has a number of insured payout options. A life-only option provides an income for the remainder of the owner’s life. The owner can add a second life by selecting a joint and survivor option. Or, a payout can be structured to pay for a set number of years. Payment amounts from an annuity are based on several factors. First, if it is a life annuity, the shorter the life expectancy, the larger the payment. An older individual will be paid more than a younger one. If it is a joint and survivor policy, two lives are used and the amount of the payout is smaller than a single-life contract. If the annuity has been pur-

chased with after-tax money, an immediate annuity pays back both principal and tax-deferred earnings, with a portion of each payment considered to be income and a portion considered to be tax-free return of principal. Immediate annuities can be used in IRAs that require minimum distributions beginning at age 70 ½. However, if the retirement account is invested in an immediate annuity, a lifetime income stream can be assured, and the IRS will accept that amount as an acceptable minimum distribution. Annuities come with a variety of options including structured survivor benefits, returns based on stock market results with a portion still backed by an insurance company, as well as owner access to the invested portion.

Cure For Seasonal The Miracle Of No Allergies… But There Pure Oxygen Is Relief to your health

BY LUKE SNELL

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

here are no bottles filled with pills at Hyperbarics of Sun Valley. No catheters. No resistance bands. The medium of healing is oxygen—pure oxygen. “Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is known primarily for wound care. Burn wounds that won’t heal— that sort of thing. But it’s also being used to treat things like autism, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, traumatic brain injury, migraine headaches, frostbite, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia,” said Phil Rainey, owner and director of the clinic. The lobby at the clinic just northwest of Friedman Memorial Airport is filled with seashells and other items that remind users that hyperbaric oxygen therapy had its genesis in treating divers with the bends. Those being treated don hospital scrubs. Then they step into a room with three chambers that look like something out of “80,000 Leagues Under the Sea” with entry hatches and view ports. Some patients lie down on a gurney and are slid into a 7-foot-long chamber where they can watch a movie on a screen perched above the chamber during their treatment. Others may be treated in the new five-seater “Mermaid Lounge.” Hoods allow Rainey to customize the amount of oxygen they receive; they can entertain themselves while in the lounge by watching a video or reading a Kindle. Sean Evangelista recently underwent 20 90-minute treatments after retiring from the Navy. He fell off a roof while in Afghanistan, suffering a brain injury that caused short-term memory problems and a water-retention problem that limited the amount of water he could drink to a liter and a half a day. “My ears popped as I ‘went down’ and ‘came up,’ but that was the only discomfort,” he said. “After having felt like I was walking around in a fog, I found myself feeling more alert. And my water retention problems have cleared up. I work for Alpine Tree Service so I’m out in the sun all day and I have to drink a lot of water. I’ve been

able to drink all I want. “I don’t have any way to quantify what’s happened to me scientifically, but I feel like it’s worked,” he added. The treatment Evangelista took is called “taking a dive.” Air pressure is raised so patients can breathe in three times more oxygen than possible at normal air pressure. Ox-

others.” There have been some positive outcomes for patients with things like autism, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis. Some stroke patients have shown marked improvement after treatment, regaining the ability to feed themselves, walk, control their bladders and speak better. It’s thought the oxygen treatment might be able to stimulate new blood vessel growth in Parkinson’s disease patients who receive transplanted dopamine neurons. It’s being used to offset the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer treatment. And recent studies demonstrate that it can reduce

Millions of people worldwide suffer from seasonal allergies. In the U.S. alone, it’s estimated that one out of five Americans are affected. The root causes of seasonal allergies are varied, but often the biggest triggers are pollen and mold.

There are plenty of resources at the tips of your fingers on the Internet supporting the following three easy steps you can take to find relief, in addition to what your doctor may suggest. Step 1: Keep it clean. That’s simple enough. A clean house has less allergens and makes for a healthy indoor environment. At least two times a year it’s good to do a thorough cleaning of the carpets, upholstery, pillows, mattress covers, even your window coverings, and make sure your air ducts are cleaned every 3-5 years.

Step 3: Neti pot, baby! Hardcore allergy sufferers swear by the Neti pot. First clear it with your doc, then go to your local pharmacy to find the best Neti pot for you. Best of luck dealing with your seasonal allergies this year!

ygen circulates throughout the body, stimulating growth factors and stem cells that promote healing. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment has been shown to have a definite benefit for servicemen who suffer sudden hearing loss due to blast. One Marine machine-gunner serviceman treated at Louisiana State University, for instance, was able to discard his hearing aids. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment forces toxic gases out of the bloodstream in those who have suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, helping damaged tissues recover more rapidly to prevent neurological damage. Hyperbarics of Sun Valley is working with veterans in the Higher Ground program whose traumatic brain injuries have resulted in sleep disorders, mood issues and other problems. “You supply oxygen and blood to idling neurons and they wake up,” said Rainey, an emergency medical technician who became familiar with hyperbaric oxygen therapy while working as a reconnaissance diver for the military. “They’ve had huge success with some patients; minor, with

the size of tumors in rats. It can cause temporary ear discomfort similar to what some people feel as airplanes descend. The discomfort can be alleviated by yawning. The other most common complication is temporary nearsightedness. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be treated in as a few as three visits. Other conditions may require 30 or 40 treatments. All visits need a prescription since the FDA considers 100 percent pure oxygen a drug. Dr. Nancy Parry serves as the clinic’s medical supervisor. The 60- to 90-minute treatments cost $200 each—far less than the $1,000 and $2,000 it would cost in most medical facilities, Rainey said. “And we’re open seven days a week,” he added. “You don’t stop taking antibiotics on the weekend. So why would we close our doors in the middle of your treatment?!” tws

The debut 2013 Caravan was such a hit that The New York Times sent a writer and photographer to cover the tour for a full-page Sunday feature. A “WYOMERICANA” documentary released on YouTube was a finalist in the Wyoming Short Film Contest. And Wyoming’s largest newspaper, the Casper Star-Tribune, named the tour a Top Arts and Entertainment event in Wyoming. “We appeared last year at Whiskey Jacques’ and had a great time,” said Jason Shogren. “We’ll be showcasing all three groups again—with a big jam session or mass collaboration at the end. It’s part of 18 shows in 19 days in the Rocky Mountain West.” J. Shogren has recorded four albums blending blues, country, old-timey, jazz, vaudeville, folk and ballads into a unique potpourri. Based in Wyoming since 1982, his band features guitar, mandolin, dobro and one-string banjo-based songs reminiscent of 1900’s dancehall music fed through a contemporary filter. Among them: “Charlie Paul, Charlie Paul,” a mandolin-based song that Shogren wrote about “a wild man who played the banjo.” “I was reading stories about him and he reminded me about my Grandpa Shasta. Grandpa Shasta was always saying, ‘I don’t go to town very often but when I do, I want to have fun,’ ” Shogren related. Shogren said the three bands banded together because they thought it would be the way to go as they toured wide-open spaces with small populations and, therefore, small audiences. “We know each other well

and thought we’d come together again to support each other. The sum of all the parts is bigger than just the parts themselves,” he said. Screen Door Porch of Jackson is a four-piece band with Seadar Rose and Aaron Davis at its core. The band delivers a fusion of soulful Americana, roots-rock and country blues with threepart harmony supported by acoustic/electric/slide guitars, banjo, mandolin, harmonica and kazoogle. The band has shared bills with Sam Bush and Steve Earle and performed at such festivals as South by Southwest. The Patti Fiasco was selected

Movie Review

to represent the best of Northern Colorado at SXSW with its electric dobro-driven rock and roll. The band’s 2011 release “The Patti Fiasco” was the fifth mostplayed album on Colorado radio and their single “Nobody’s Girl” the third most-played single of the year. Their 2013 release, “Small Town Lights,” debuted at No. 5 on Colorado charts and finished in the Top 10-spun Colorado records of the year. Shogren’s group, which used to be a trio, is now a duo—Shogren teaming up with multi-instrumentalist Jascha Herdt. “We’re the smaller of the groups but we can still make a racket,” Shogren said. tws

Le Week-End Love Hurts

Rating: BY JONATHAN KANE

aris is the city for lovers, so they say, even if that love is about to be shattered. So it goes for the middle-aged couple in Roger Michell’s fine new film, Le Week-End. Michell is the director of Notting Hill and this film is his third collaboration with the screenwriter Hanif Kureishi (My Beautiful Launderette). Thankfully, they still make movies with superb actors, a great script and insightful direction, and in Le Week-End it can be found in abundance – especially in the tremendous performances of its two leads – Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan. Broadbent and Duncan play an aging British couple of modest means that seek to revive their flagging marriage with a romantic weekend in Paris – the sight of their honeymoon. Instead of wine and roses, we have the reality of life and the tears

and fractures of a 30-year marriage. Things go awry when the hotel of their honeymoon turns out to be a dump, so at her insistence they relocate to a hotel they can’t afford. The rest of the weekend is also placed on a credit card that soon maxes out along with the life in their marriage. He’s hoping for an amorous rekindling. She’s overwhelmed by her own restlessness and her desire to escape his neediness. Things come to a head with the introduction of a marvelous Jeff Goldblum as an old Cambridge classmate of his who is now a successful novelist and complete sellout with a new, much younger wife and a fabulous lifestyle in Paris. Goldblum invites them to a pretentious dinner party where Broadbent lets it all hang out in a jaw-dropping monologue about the failures of his life to a room of astonished strangers. But in the wreckage is rebirth. Le Week-End is a must-see for those interested in substantial cinema. tws

Windy City Arts knows how to capture our attention and make it visually appealing. They have been growing their business and enhancing our community for the last 10 years. The motto for Windy City is “Creativity in Motion.” Talking with Troy Larsen, you soon realize that his creative energy is tied in with an intuitive perspective for combining technology and artistic design and conveying that into the message of his client’s vision. Troy and Linda Larsen moved to the Valley 10 years ago looking to invest in a start-up business. They took over Windy City Arts with the idea that everyone needs a sign. The industry in the area was behind the times as far as technology. Troy invested in large-format printers to give them an edge over the competition in the Valley and they continue to reinvest in new technologies. Windy City now employs four full-time staff at their Hailey location off of Airport Way. The office has grown

into a multi-dimensional space, with all the equipment, saws and machines in a separate space from the front of the house where clients can find inspiration from the demonstrations of fonts and concepts in the viewing area that is enclosed in a modern, crisp and welcoming conference room. Windy City can assist clients from the beginning concepts that could be a pencil drawing, all the way through large-scale monument signage or full-size wraps around buses. They do custom signage, working in such mediums as metal, wood, nylon and many address markers for homes. They have done sticker projects for 40,000 stickers in-house here in Hailey. When I ask what one of his favorite projects was, Troy pauses and begins to reminisce about the Mountain Rides account and doing all the wraps for the buses and the advertising demo for SoBi bikes. Then he fondly recalls the Olympic panels for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation Nordic Training Center, and the Sun Valley Village signs that are metal scroll brackets,

and the Ketchum walkability signs and utility box wraps and the new signs for Sturtevants in Ketchum. As he talks, his eyes light up and he starts to describe the differences in the concepts and objectives of each project. It is clear that Troy loves what he does and feels a sense of pride that is individual to each job. I left his office and started to really notice all the beautiful signs that we have the pleasure to be exposed to thanks to Windy City Arts, Inc.

ur country, and namely schools, strives to encourage Americans to be more active. As this trend becomes more of a standard, there has also been an influx of activities designed that harness classroom lessons and combine them with the outdoors. Creative folks everywhere are designing unique ways to bring the lessons outside of the classroom and involve the whole family in the process. One of these unique methods is known as a StoryWalk, a creative method of combining physical activity with literacy. Started by Anne Ferguson in Montpelier, VT, she set out to find ways to prevent or lessen the impact of chronic disease

on adults and children by increasing physical activity. “I started the project as a way to promote physical activity, early literacy, and family time together in nature. I wanted to create something that would involve parents and other grownups along with children that would be fun and draw people outside to enjoy parks and trails and fresh air!” During a StoryWalk the pages of a book are transformed to signs and laid out on a trail, inviting community members to follow the path of the pages. Since its creation, StoryWalks have popped up all over the U.S., even promoting schools, libraries, and similar

Recently, The Sun Valley Center for the Arts, along with the help of the Hailey Elementary 3rd grade, brought this experience to the Wood River Valley with a more interactive twist. Students of all ages were invited to participate in the public art project to develop and illustrate a story of their choice; many of them being about parks, the way they are built and the activities that can be enjoyed in them. Working with The Center staff, students explored the idea of public art, community involvement, and expressing their creativity. The partnership provided not only a personal experience for the students, but also the opportunity to enrich their community as a whole. All five third-grade classes participated resulting in a $2500 donation to The Center from wow-students, on behalf of the class. The Sun Valley Center for the Arts is heavily invested in cultivating creativity among our local students through engaging experiences.

Meet the Valley: Wendy Werth

n Catholic school, from first grade on, we were encouraged to help others. We started as young as nine helping the first graders with their math. When I was 15, my first community service outside of our school campus was at Stanford Hospital. I was an official candy striper, which meant that we wore red and white stripped dresses. We looked like candy canes. We had access to the entire hospital; I even went into the morgue one particularly curious day. On any given day we would help patients to their lab appointments, assist new mothers to their car, deliver flowers to patients, and bring documents to the doctors. It really felt like we were doing real work in the real world. We were a part of an incredible healing community. Many years later, I delivered my first child at Stanford Hospital and the young volunteers helped me. It not only brought back the joy I felt when I was younger, but the appreciation of being on the other side. Even the smallest effort from someone can have a huge impact, I try to remember this daily and continue this cycle in my life.

ouglas Granger’s Spit Camp isn’t about how far you can spit. It’s about what your spit can reveal about you. Spitting is serious business— make that, serious science—for the psychoneuroendocrinology researcher. Granger, professor of psychology and director of the Institute for Interdisciplinary Salivary Bioscience Research at Arizona State University, helped pioneer the research of saliva collection and analysis 20 years ago. Now, he’s even testing the spit of Arizona State University’s marching band members as he zeros in on ways saliva tests can help such segments of society as abused and impoverished children. But, he says, spit also has practical applications for individuals—a saliva test could tell you how to maximize the efficiency of your gym workouts or how to adjust yoga routines to reduce your stress. Granger will share some of his findings during the Sun Valley Wellness Festival when he presents “Harnessing Biobehavioral Science to Optimize Health” at 11:15 a.m. Saturday in the Sun Valley Inn’s Limelight Room. Granger, a student of psychological and social behavior, locked onto saliva as a diagnostic tool during the early 1990s while studying the biology of atypical children’s behavior. “Most of the measurements I wanted to do required that we collect blood samples,” said Granger, who started out at

Pennsylvania State University and Johns Hopkins University. “And that was not a positive experience for children—or their parents—since it meant collecting blood samples over a couple months.” Saliva represented a less invasive way of measuring things like cortisol—a marker related to stress, Granger said. But no rigorous studies had been done regarding saliva. Granger spent the next 20 years establishing protocol regarding how to collect and handle saliva tests as the field of salivary bioscience emerged. Now, he’s testing saliva to study prenatal exposure to cocaine, alcohol and tobacco and the influence of poor parenting, abuse and poverty on children. “One of the ideas underlying these studies is the notion that when we experience adverse circumstances some of us have very few negative consequences and others have many. Why is it they affect Doug and not Carol?” he said. Granger and University of Oregon scientists are examining a protein linked to the development and function of neurons that may reveal why adversity affects some people more negatively than others. The more a person’s sNGF level increases when stressed, the lower their conflict-related negative emotions. The sNGF response to stress might be protective—adolescents with higher levels of sNGF during stress tend to have fewer problem behaviors. “Social environment can influence children very much like a thermostat on the wall, so if you are born into circumstances that

are very chaotic, complex and unpredictable, the system gets adjusted differently than if you grow up in a calm, predictable routine and nurturing, sensitive, loving environment. In our literature we talk about kids being dandelions who bend in the wind or orchids who fall apart in the wind. Perhaps, saliva can help therapists identify what kind of treatment will best benefit a certain child and his parents,” Granger added. Given the increase of post-traumatic stress disorder and suicides among military personnel, perhaps salivary bioscience might be an objective way to determine each soldier’s physiological response to stress, Granger said. “There’s a strong bias for soldiers to say they’re not feeling stressed, because if they say, ‘Yes,’ there may be some consequences, such as being reassigned,” he said. People in close relationships, such as mothers and babies, romantic couples and preschoolers at one school, show a correlation in hormone levels, namely cortisol. That information could be used to target intervention to one person—the mother, who’s usually the most influential person in the family, or the band leader—to influence everyone else’s cortisol levels to ensure families or groups function as a cohesive group. “The use of oral fluid as a research and diagnostic specimen has tremendous potential,” Granger said. “We’re really only in the infancy of that field.”

Even Tiny Tots Enjoy Home And Garden Show STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

ailey’s Home and Garden Show attracted dozens of homeowners on a warm sunny Saturday. Among them: 4-year-old Kolten Marcroft who took time to read up on the deluxe Dixon RTR DX 200 riding lawnmower

while sitting on its throne. Audrey and Claran Elias practiced kayak paddling with putters provided by Final Cut for homeowners wishing to test their synthetic turf. And 3-year-old Bryce Barnes used the putter for what it was intended, as he prepared to output his 5-year-old brother Luke. tws

5B Bike Sharing STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

The launch of this summer’s 5B BikeShare program will be delayed until late June as the bikes get new electronics in their solar-powered keypads. The company working on the bikes is behind in its work so the bikes will be launched later than had originally been planned, said Kaz Thea, who manages the program. Once the work is finished, there will be 20 bikes placed in Ketchum and 20 in Hailey. And this year the bikes will offer ad space for wrap-around vinyl logos on the bike baskets. 5B BikeShare was introduced by MountainRides last summer as part of the City of Hailey Climate Challenge EPA grant. People can check out a bike from one of several racks around Hailey and Ketchum to run errands or go to lunch. They can return it to the same rack they got it or to a different rack.

The cruiser bikes feature GPS technology and a lock system integrated into each bike to help administrators keep track of them. To use them, people must be BikeShare members. A monthly membership is $10, a seasonal membership $35 and a pay-asyou-go membership, $5. Members choose a pin number to reserve and unlock bikes using the on-bike keypad, a mobile device or the social bicycles (SoBi) website. This year’s memberships will be discounted to reflect the late start, Thea said. Businesses are encouraged to purchase memberships for employees, similar to the way they purchase season ski passes for employees. The bikes can be located through the MountainRides website or a SoBi app for Android and iPhone. The bikes will be available for use through November. Information: mountainrides. org/5B-bikshare.php.

Pedal Power To Work STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

“Jell-O shots first thing in the morning?” the quizzical bicyclist said as he pulled up to a table outside St. Luke’s. Not exactly. These cups of Jell-O, in an array of rainbow colors, contained chia seeds. “They’re a good way to start your day,” said the nurse who was putting them out. Hundreds of adults and children took to the bike path on everything from training wheels to snow bikes with fat tires Friday morning as part of the annual Bike to Work Day. The event is designed to encourage people to remember to use feet, bikes and other means of alternative transportation as much as possible during summer, instead of cars, to cut down

Keller Williams Sun Valley Realtors Group participated in their annual RED Day for the second year to the benefit of Hailey’s Hop Porter Park. On May 8, 2014, twenty Keller Williams employees joined city public works staff to form work teams to conduct various maintenance activities throughout the park. This effort did much to revitalize the park. Other companies who have adopted Hailey’s parks in include: Clearwater Landscaping, C-U Next Storm, Evergreen Lanscaping, Lily & Fern, Kathy Noble & Associates, Keller Williams Realty, Mountain West Bank, Mountain Lifestyles Property Management, S. Erwin Excavation, Swenke Landscaping, Webb Landscaping, and Whitehead Landscaping.

Cow Creek

The Cow Creek mountain bike and hiking trail in Greenhorn Gulch has reopened after lots of hard work put in by volunteers. Part of the Mahoney-Greenhorn loop is back in commission. Other trails in Greenhorn remain off limits because of last summer’s Beaver Creek Fire. Those heading to the trails will see some of these mitigation efforts by homeowners in Greenhorn to prevent damage to their homes by mudslides resulting from deforestation from the fire.

The aroma of bacon cooking wafted over an area near the Reinheimer Ranch as Brad Wood cooked up breakfast on behalf of Pete Lane’s. And Sage School students treated cyclists to banana and zucchini bread they’d baked themselves. Meanwhile, Idaho Insurance Specialists handed out bandages and chapstick while employees from Smith’s handed out such prizes as T-shirts, sunglasses and beanies. “It’s fun being out here with all the others,” said Eric Ruggeri.

BRIEFS

Many of us here in the Wood River Valley don’t feel the need to teach our dogs how to heel. We take them for walks in the woods, or with us on bike rides or family fun days in all sorts of place. Most of the time, our dogs are off leash. One of my biggest concerns is that I hear people telling me they don’t want to put a leash on their dog because the dog pulls so hard, it’s miserable. That is exactly the point—it’s miserable for everyone. So, is the solution not to put a leash on your dog, or is it to teach you dog how to heel? The less we teach a dog, the harder it is to communicate with him on every level, and the more DISTANT OUR RELATIONSHIP IS. Heel is important because:

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

•It teaches the dog to respect us. •It teaches us how to communicate with the dog EFFECTIVELY. •It helps us to learn who our dog is and how they learn, which is actually very exciting! •Pulling on the leash, even with a flat collar, endangers the dog’s neck. •Pulling on the leash endangers US and our HEALTH! I had one client years ago whose dog pulled both owners over, breaking the face of one of the owners and putting the other owner in physical therapy for six months! This is serious business! •It endangers the safety of your dog if your dog pulls the leash out of your hand and runs across the street into the path of a car, or into the path of a dangerous animal on the trail. •The choice of not using a

M AY 2 1 , 2 0 1 4

leash is just as dangerous! There are many ways to teach your dog how to heel. What is important is to find the method that is most effective for you and your dog. There is no one method that fits every dog and every owner. The key is to get help from someone that has many methods of teaching and instructing heel to share with you so that you find the one that works best and is most effective. Some dogs need a gentle touch; other dogs need a little more convincing. It depends on the dog and sometimes even depends on your physical abilities. Seek qualified professional help from someone that teaches more than one methodology so they can prescribe what is most effective for you and your dog.
