BIKE FEST

DEEMED SUCCESS

Chasing gravity

he Vamps pulled on their fishnet stockings, hot pink go-go boots, sparkling wigs and doll glasses. Then they went out and raced—on an old Schwinn Stingray Muffy Ritz had found on eBay. And when the criterium through Ketchum’s downtown was over, they cheered because they hadn’t finished last. “The key was learning to slide off the bike on the left so the next racer could get on the other side in the hand-off,” said Ritz, whose team was pitted against Lizzy’s Coffee racers fueled by four shots of espresso, a Coors beer team fueled by you know what, and others. The criterium was one of the more fun events in a week-long Smith Optics Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival, which ends Saturday with the U.S. Marathon MTB National Championships on Bald Mountain. On Saturday and Sunday racers tackled one of the longest enduro races in North America riding 24 miles and descending 9,000 vertical feet across Bald Mountain. Aaron Bradford took first among men, followed by Kyle Warner, Sun Valley’s Adam Greene, Mason Bond and Cody Kelley. Margaret Gregory took first among women followed by Mallory Burda, Beth Roberts, Ileana Anderson and Madi McQueen. “It was a really fun weekend and definitely one of the more well-put-on events,” said Gregory, who will now head for Park City—the final stop in the Scott Enduro Cup. “It was a tough yet balanced race with a lot of pedaling and technical sections.”

This Criterium racer was about to lose his packages.

sity feted him upon his return from the 1968 Summer Olympics. But Fosbury, who won a gold medal for his patented “Fosbury Flop” over the high bar, will have to remember how to do the wave come Friday as grand marshal of this year’s Days of the Old West Fourth of July Parade in Hailey. “The invitation came completely out of the blue. I was stunned,” said the lanky 6-foot-4 athlete who turned the world of track and field upside down when he sailed over the high bar with his back to the bar as if he was lying back on a sofa. “Normally, I’m in Maine at this time, doing a track camp, which I’ve done for the past 25 years, but I’m looking forward to this.” Fosbury certainly fits the theme of this year’s parade, which is “Wood River Valley Inspires.” His feat is still considered one of the “50 stunning Olympic moments.” “We have a great day lined up starting with the Boy Scouts’ Pancake Breakfast at 7:30 a.m. and ending with what might be the biggest fireworks display we’ve ever had,” said Kristy Heitzman, membership director of the Hailey Chamber of Commerce. This year’s festivities get underway with the pancake breakfast from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Wood River Grange Hall on South 3rd Avenue. A children’s carnival with bouncy houses and more will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. next to the Bank of America on Main Street. Antique fairs will take their place all day long at Roberta McKercher Park on Highway 75 across from the airport and in the empty lot next to McDonald’s on Main Street at the town’s north end. The fairs will continue from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. This year’s parade will start at noon, closing Highway 75 for 90 minutes. As always, the Hailey Rotary will make the parade more interactive with its Road Apple Roulette. Parade spectators can buy a square for $5, making them eligible for prizes if one of the parade horses drops a “road apple” on the square. Prizes include a week in San Jose del Cabo, a 20-day Sun Valley ski pass, 42-inch TV, Weber BBQ, round of golf for four at The Valley Club, car detail, $500 in cash and more from such donors as Scott Miley Roofing, Sun Valley Company, Colortyme,

An Ice Cream Social will be held at the old Ezra Pound house at South 2nd Avenue and Pine Street, courtesy of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, said Chamber representative Pat Bowton. Come evening, the Sawtooth Rangers Fourth of July Rodeo starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Hailey rodeo grounds on Highway 75 across from the airport. The rodeo will serve up everything from bull riding to bareback bronc riding, steer wrestling and barrel racing. There will be clown acts, mutton bustin’, hometown bull riding and other pre-events at 6:30 p.m. The rodeo opens on Wednesday with Family Night, admitting kids 10 and under free of charge. It continues Thursday night and Fourth of July. Tickets are $11 for adults and $6 for children 10 and under available at Atkinsons’ Markets in Bellevue, Hailey and Ketchum and at the Hailey Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center, 781 S. Main Street in Hailey. They’re $15 and $10 at the gate. Fireworks will start at dusk. Launched from a spot near Wood River High School, they can be seen from nearly anywhere in town. The Wood River Valley will feature a number of free concerts over the long Fourth of July weekend. Mia Edsell will perform her cowgirl songs during a free concert from 6 to 8 p.m. Fourth of July Eve at Ketchum Town Square. Texas crooner George DeVore will play a free concert from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday at Mahoney’s Bar and Grill in Bellevue, while The Bobos play covers there Sunday night. And Latin jazz guitarist Jimmy Mitchell will cap the Fourth of July weekend concert schedule with a free Jazz in the Park concert from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday in Ketchum’s Rotary Park at Warm Springs and Saddle roads. Sun Valley Resort will present its first ice show of the season on the Fourth. The show, which starts at dusk, features 2014 Olympic bronze Mmdalists Gracie Gold and Jason Brown; also, the 2014 Junior World bronze medalist Nathan Chen. The show will be capped by fireworks. Tickets start at $29, available at sunvalley.com. tws

Nix Sit-Ups Trent Avery: BY CONNIE ARONSON, AN AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SPORTS MEDICINE HEALTH & FITNESS SPECIALIST LOCATED AT THE YMCA IN KETCHUM

Free Vibes Page 14

y friend Claire is helping whip her new beau into shape, hitting the gym five days a week. Claire also has him doing dozens of sit-ups so he’ll get a movie-star six-pack. For most people the first thing that comes to mind when you say “abs” is one muscle—the rectus abdominis. She means well, but doing hundreds of sit-ups are hard on your back because of devastating loads to your spine. In 2008, there were 3.4 million emergency room visits—an average of 9,400 per day—for back problems, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Back problems are the fifth most common reason for all doctor visits in the U.S. Trading the sit-up for safer and more effective abdominal work can help spare this outcome. Dr. Stuart McGilll, a professor of spine mechanics and chair of the Department of Kinesiology at The University of Waterloo, points out that spine discs only have so many bends in them before they become damaged. Keep the bends for essential tasks, such a tying shoes, rather than using them in ab training, he recommends. The Army agrees. In 2011, after 30 years, the Army’s Physical Readiness and Combat Tests deemed the sit-up test as an ineffective assessment of a person’s core in relation to their battle strength.

Travelling Man

In sports that require repeated hyperextension—like gymnastics, diving, volleyball, weightlifting, golf, football, tennis and rowing—the incident of back injury is 11 percent, according to the International Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences. In football linemen, it may be as high as 50 percent. The types of injuries vary with age. In adolescent athletes, nearly 70 percent of lumbar spine injuries occur when forces are exerted on skeletally immature spines, whereas the majority of adult back injuries are related to muscle strain and disk disease. If you want a stronger, tighter core, instead of full sit-ups, try the traditional crunch or many variations of a curl-up. Lifting your head and shoulders a few inches (around 30 degrees) off the floor and holding briefly is a good exercise to challenge the abdominal muscles while imposing a minimal load to the lumbar spine Muscle function The four layers of abdominal muscles are like a woven basket encompassing the belly. The long vertical rectus abdominis runs vertically from the sternum to the pubis crest and is trained when you do an exercise such as the crunch. The external and internal oblique muscles rotate and side-bend the trunk. The deepest layer, right below your belly-button, named the transversus abdominis, plays a significant role in stabilizing the trunk, specifically the spine, during all movement. All the abdominal muscles hold in our organs and help us in forced exhalation, as in coughing, urinating or giving birth. But the most critically important function throughout the day—writes Judith Lasater, Ph.D., P.T., author of Yoga Abs Moving From Your Core—is stabilization, to keep the back free of pain and the abdomen strong. Very few sports require fully flexing the spine, as in a full sit-up. Rather, the core transmits power from the hips through the torso as in pitching a ball or running. Here, the abdominals work together with muscles in the lower back, hips and pelvis, known as the core, stabilizing the spine. The core and spine can handle large forces vertically, but not in extreme flexion, as in sit-ups, twisting or bending. For example, a 154-pound man standing upright has 154 pounds of pressure on the L3-L4 disk, which the spine can easily handle. Sitting and bending forward 20 degrees, the pressure on L3-L4 bumps up to 264 pounds. In the bent-knee sit-up, the pressure almost triples, up to 396 pounds. Simply modifying the sit-up to a partial curl-up, with the head and shoulders lifting a few inches off the floor, eliminates these huge compression forces on the disks. In a June 2009 New York Times article titled “Core Myths,” the marginalized view of the core being “abs” was challenged by McGill. He compares the spine to a fishing rod supported by muscular guy wires. If all the wires are tensed equally, as in the whole lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, the rod stays straight. A core exercise program should emphasize all the muscles that girdle the spine, not just the abs, to ensure balanced strength. In his lab, he’s demonstrated how an average sit-up can exceed the limit known to increase the risk of back injury in normal American workers. The full sit-up is three muscle actions: neck flexion, spine flexion and hip flexion. It’s important to be able to sit up, no doubt, but repeated sit-ups do place hundreds of pounds of compression on the lumbar discs. Hooking or holding the feet down stresses the low back even more. Ironically, the bent-knee sit-up has been taught to minimize the action of the hip flexor in the sit-up, though it is not correct. The abs can only curl the trunk. The sit-up is a strong hip-flexor exercise (used in climbing stairs or skipping), whether the knees are bent or straight. McGill says that the following three exercises, done regularly, can provide a well-rounded, core-stability program: practice the curl-ups, learn how to do a side-plank (lie on your side and raise yourself in a straight line) and try the bird-dog (kneel on your hands and knees, legs hip-width apart, raise an alternate arm and leg to hip height and hold for four or six seconds). Claire tried all three, smitten over both the planks and her slim new guy. For more information, visit Aronson’s website at conniearonson.com.

STORY BY BY JONATHAN KANE

For Trent Avery, a recent graduate of the Community School, nothing is better than helping people and travelling, and when you can put the two together, it’s tough to beat. That’s just what he did three years ago when he travelled with a group from the Church of the Big Wood to Africa on a humanitarian mission. “I love travelling because you can get a different perspective on the world,” Avery said. “Coming from the valley that we live in, you can see that the world’s not just a happy place like Sun Valley. Our hardships are just not that big compared to the rest of the world.” In Africa, the group helped out at

“The incredible thing was that they had very little in their lives, but they were never without a smile. The whole thing had a really profound effect on me and really changed the way I look at life.” an orphanage that the church funds and helped at a university connected to the orphanage.” Their destination was Zambia, but they first travelled to South

Africa. “It was so completely different getting out at the airport and getting into a taxi. First off, you didn’t feel very safe because there were people everywhere with guns walking down the street.” They stayed two nights in South Africa and then took a bus to Zambia. “People are really interesting in Africa, but they don’t drive very well, so it was pretty scary. Once we got out of the city, though, the countryside was very beautiful. It was either very arid or incredibly green—it just depended on what part you were in.” The group then spent a week and a half at the orphanage. “There were a couple of hundred kids there and the experience of playing and teaching them was amazing. We also bought each kid a pair of shoes, which they were really grateful for. The incredible thing was that they had very little in their lives but they were never without a smile. The whole thing had a really profound effect on me and really changed the way I look at life. I realized that it could be amazing no matter what situation you are in. It’s just the way that you look at it.” The group then went to Victoria Falls for two days, which was “spectacular and beautiful,” and then went on a safari for three days, traveling in cars and downriver in a boat. “The wildlife was incredible. We saw lions and elephants and had the unique opportunity to see a pack of lions take down a buffalo out of the herd. The guides were even amazed, as they said they only see that two or three times a year.” Avery described the whole trip as being a highlight of his life. “I’ve been to Europe before and seen other parts of the world, but Africa was indescribable. It was amazing to see how different their lives were. You hear about it, but you can’t grasp it until you see it firsthand. They have so little but live with such joy. It’s something that we can all learn from.” tws

Movie Review

Edge of Tomorrow Over and Over Again

JON RATED THIS MOVIE BY JONATHAN KANE

t’s not difficult to imagine the brainy Hollywood pitch meeting for Tom Cruise’s new mess of a film, Edge of Tomorrow (sounds like a bad soap opera, doesn’t it?). The grizzled Hollywood producer sits across the desk from the 20-year-old head of production at the studio and proudly exclaims, ‘It’s Starship Troopers meets Groundhog Day.’ And there you have it – a complete mash-up of two classics into one mediocre movie. And then there’s Cruise, once again in an asexual role of superhero taking on all comers in a role that he’s way too old for. Long gone are the days of Jerry Maguire and Rain Man, when his actor chops carried the day. It was also before his strange personal life dominated the headlines. In any case, in this film Cruise plays an Army major PR man that is forced into combat for a D-Day two-against-an-alien invasion of monsters called Mimics that resemble octopuses on crack. Cruise is dead meat within seconds of landing on the beach but—surprise, surprise—he reawakens. Like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, Cruise is going to relive the same day over and over and, like Bill Murra, will change and win the heart of a beautiful woman – in this movie, a weirdly cast Emily Blount. With each incarnation he becomes more adept at fighting and gets deeper into the combat with each try. This is all in an effort to get to the alien brain – the Omega. I’m sure you can imagine the third act of this trite mess, which is a Hollywood-style overblown special-effects barrage that leaves the viewer ice cold. For a great evening, go out and rent Starship Troopers or Groundhog Day.

Fits of Madness BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

n a fit of madness last Tuesday, Luis Suarez, striker for the Uruguay National Soccer Team, satisfied his pangs of hunger by taking a bite out of the shoulder of opposing player Giorgio Cheillini of Italy in a World Cup match, apparently taking a cue from Hannibal Lector, Mike Tyson and other fine young cannibals of the wide world of sports. Suarez was immediately reproached by the world of soccer and banned for four months by its disciplining committee, the FIFA. It was the third biting incident of his penalty-plagued career. I’ve got to tell you openly that I abhor being bitten by a human being. On top of that, I must confess that I don’t enjoy being assaulted by the feral kitten I was presented with three weeks ago as a pet for the lonely moments of my twilight years. Although given in good faith by my youngest daughter, Emily, I have been bitten, scratched, gouged, ripped, lacerated and slashed by the adorable new pet. I live in constant fear of being attacked and mugged at any opportunity. This calico killer with the sharp teeth and nails of an alligator fills its days and nights dining on my flesh. But I love her. The pretty little feline lives to destroy my life and systematically terrorizes me at its every waking moment. I realize that the loyal pet owners and soccer fans of the Wood River Valley may disapprove of my feelings, but I gotta tell you, I hate Luis Suarez and love that cat! God knows I’ve tried to reason with the animal—to persuade her not to try and eat me—but my pleas have gone for naught. I firmly believe that the loveable rascal will try to kill me in my sleep. This is a gift? Come on! This is a death sentence. Every morning for the past week I pick her up with oven mitts and take her next door to the gas station and throw her into the back seats of the vehicles of tourists so that they may whisk her away to another life. Every time, she escapes and returns to reap her vengeance upon me. But I love her. So, here I sit in full body armor writing this column on my computer feeling the tiny kitty railing at my feet. The sound of her nails slashing at my protective armor puts me into a deep swoon. Make no mistake about it—I really don’t care for her actions, but I love her. Obviously, she’s not leaving and I must find a way in which we can coexist. I wish the Society of Cruelty to Older Men would step in and ban her for a few months or, at least, until she decides to ignore me like normal cats do. I can hardly wait because, with all due honesty, I don’t care very much for the mugging. But I love her. Nice talking to you. tws

ne day, making my rounds in the garden, I came across a dead bird lying on a railroad tie. I had never seen him at the feeder. It had to have been killed by a cat. Birds are like elephants, at least in one respect—they have their out-of-view way of dying naturally. The head and back was an iridescent scent violet, but I couldn’t find it in the bird book. My extensive knowledge of birds told me he wasn’t a duck, a raptor or an emu, nor a platypus; I see plenty of those in Washington, from the President on down. Birder and communicator extraordinaire Kathleen Cameron set me straight— it was a male violet-green swallow. They fly fast and eat on the fly, like hummingbirds, swifts and barn owls. I didn’t perform an autopsy to determine cause of death, but I felt bad for the rest of the day. (Last Thursday, Kathleen did a great presentation at The Community Library on owls, which I’ll discuss in greater detail next week.) Now that spring break is over, the birds have quieted, busy tending their nests. Parental responsibility puts an end to partying. No wonder I’ve never gotten married. Decisions like that require the setting of priorities. It is said of American politics that a single-woman par-

ty animal votes Democrat. Once she’s married with children, she flip-flops and turns Republican. No wonder I can’t get a crowd of birds to party—they’ve turned into Republicans. Since these birds don’t need handouts, I save on birdseed, at least until the juveniles get older and then return next spring. (Usually, about 30 percent of birds return to their original, successful nesting sites. The others disperse.) It’s heartening to see juvenile fledglings by the dozen learning all the tricks of the trade. Maneuvering among tree branches is a specialty. Birds know how to fly from birth, but, like with

all their calls, there’s a lot of learning left to do. One perched at the entry of the birdhouse, and took off into space. His journey ended about 15 feet away, as he landed unceremoniously in a rabbit brush. He recovered and flew back to the box. Their wing motion is more rapid than an adult’s. I see this around the feeder and the bath. They flutter before they land. An older bird glides to its landing. They also practice their linguistics by copying what they hear from their parents. It’s like a

person speaking broken English. I rented a room in a small neighborhood hotel in the center of old Istanbul. The balcony looked out on a sandlot soccer field, in use every day after school. Adjacent to it was an old, architecturally important active mosque. One day the imam was teaching a youngster how to read and pronounce passages from the Koran. In Islam, the call to prayer is announced five times a day, starting at dawn, when the kid got his chance to announce the start of a new day. The imam figured that not many would hear him if he blew it. The call of the muezzin is not spoken, it is sung. At dawn of the following day, the kid’s performance was rough, uneven, with no flow and sloppy diction, lots of stops and starts, like that of a lot of young birds. That afternoon, the kid was back on a stone bench, near the courtyard wash basin, practicing. I waved to him and gave him a thumbs-up. The box elder houses a community. There’s a certain safety in numbers. Many of these birds head for Central America for the winter (so does Kathleen), and many live in flocks in large trees. The various species act as a unit. There’s always a small group who serve as lookouts, warning of danger, so the rest can conduct their business without fear. On a lesser scale, the same happens here. As soon as a house cat shows up and tries to hide, a few, usually blackbirds, sound the alarm, a grating chatter, and the rest stay away from the feeder and the bath. It’s another thing juveniles have to learn. tws

Bug Crew News

“Enchanted April” STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

“Spotlighting Spotted Knapweed” J une has been a busy month for our crew and most of our activities have focused on spotted knapweed. On June 11, we helped build the first insectory in Blaine County. This effort was spearheaded by Kathryn Goldman, with many cooperating partners, including the Forest Service, the BLM, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Hundreds of rosette spotted knapweed were planted to create a controlled habitat for one of our star knapweed killers, Cyphocleonus achates (CYAC).

CYAC is a robust biological control agent that can attack spotted (preferred host) and diffuse knapweeds. CYAC overwinter as larvae in roots, where they mine the vascular tissue and reduce knapweed density. CYAC adults emerge from June to mid-September and feed on knapweed leaves. The adults are 0.5 to 0.6 inches long and generally live 8 to 15 weeks. Each female deposits more than 100 eggs during her lifetime. Eggs hatch in 10 to 12 days and larvae begin feeding on roots. Habitat and natural selection make this weevil a perfect predator for spotted knapweed. Spotted knapweed, Centaurea maculosa, is an herbaceous, short-lived perennial that reproduces entirely by

seed. A plant may produce up to 25,000 seeds. Seeds are brown to black in color, smooth, and less than 0.25 inches long, and can remain viable in the soil for eight years. Flowers range in color from pink to light-purple and bloom from July to October. The flower head bracts are black-tipped, giving the plant its characteristic “spotted” appearance. Stems are typically 2 to 4 feet tall with lower leaves that are deeply lobed and upper leaves that are more linear. Spotted knapweed ranges from moist rangeland habitats to abandoned areas. Thirteen biological control agents have been approved for release for the knapweed complex, which includes spotted knapweed.

continue to flourish in our fight to rid Blaine County of spotted knapweed. Our crew is always looking for new spotted knapweed infestations. If you know of an area being infected by this noxious weed, please give the Blaine County Noxious Weed Department a call at 7885516 and ask for Bronwyn. If the site is free from farming, grazing, spraying, and other human disturbance, the Blaine County Bug Crew may be able to establish a biological control site. Please join us in keeping Blaine County native and beautiful.

ove over, Jane Austen. Take a seat, “Downton Abbey.” Elizabeth Von Arnim’s “Enchanted April” has taken center stage at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. Company of Fools opened its presentation of Matthew Barber’s award-winning adaptation of Arnim’s romantic comedy on July 1, and the show will run through July 26.

“If you love ‘Downton Abbey,’ you are going to love this,” said director Steve Perigard, a Richmond, Va., director and actor who previously directed the Fools’ productions of “Noises Off” and “Steel Magnolias.” “It’s set in the same period— around World War I—and it features rich, rich characters similar to that which we see on the ‘Masterpiece Theatre’ show.” Set designer Joe Lavigne has created a flat in dreary old England that literally opens

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

Joe Lavigne shows a model of the set he designed for “Enchanted April.”

The show revolves around two women who decide to trade dreary, rained-soaked England and their loveless marriages for summer among the wisteria and terra cotta of sun-baked Italy. They recruit two other women—the colorful Lady Caroline and the stick-by-the-rules Mrs. Grave—to help them share the expenses of renting a castle. Soon the ladies invite others to join them at the villa, adding a touch of farce amidst the poignancy. And soon each woman finds herself escaping the ruts of her life in ways she hadn’t expected.

Andrew Alberger, Neil Brookshire and David Janeski fill the male roles. The show is very romantic, using a garden as a metaphor for the way we need to tend ourselves through the different seasons of our lives. Like a garden, sometimes we lay fallow. At other times, we and the relationships in our lives bloom, Janeski said. The names of the characters expand on the garden metaphor. Rose, for instance, is beautiful, but she has thorns. Mrs. Graves lives in the past. Lady Caroline Bramble is in the rambling stage of her life. “They’re rich, wonderful, full characters,” said Ziegler. “There’s even some titillation—I’ll leave it at that.” The play offers a great escape, said Wepplo, who has appeared in several of the Fools’ productions, including “Steel Magnolias” and “Doubt.” “We offer the best vacation plans in town this summer for those on limited budgets,” echoed the Fools’ Denise Simone. “You can get away to Italy in ‘Enchanted April.’ Then you can take a trip to Greece when we present ‘Shirley Valentine’ August 7 through 9.”

Indisputable Students STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

on’t try to pick an argument with Chase Hutchinson. The 2014 Wood River High School graduate is the 16th best student debater in the nation. Hutchinson earned his ranking at the National Speech and Debate Association National Tournament in Kansas City, Kan., last week where he went with fellow student Wyatt Caccia and student advisor Susan Worst. With 7,000 competitors, it’s the largest academic competition in the world, said Worst. “It’s a pretty amazing experience. It’s what I hope college will be like,” said Caccia, who plans to study Asian studies at the University of Redlands in California. “It was pretty motivational to see all these kids working so hard, all with these different personalities.” Both Hutchinson and Caccia debated the question of digital privacy versus national security in a Lincoln-Douglas debate format. Also called a value debate, it encompasses a philosophical bent—what’s most important in terms of values like liberty and human dignity? Both young men went through six preliminary rounds, each judged by two judges. They had to be awarded eight ballots to go on. Wyatt got seven. Hutchinson did six more rounds before being eliminated, finishing 16th out of 253 students. Each of the students who competed had won regional competitions to get that far, Worst said. Students had to debate both sides of the argument, so each had to do a lot of research. “This is Wyatt’s third trip to the competition,” Worst said. “That’s a great accomplishment.” Hutchinson said being with so many students was kind of intimidating at first, but “you get used to it.” “And all our conversations weren’t nerdy debate conversations,” he said. “I actually had an hour-long conversation with one student about comedy.” Hutchinson, who plans to student political science and parliamentary debate at the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Wash., aid he has found debate to be very beneficial. “My high school experience would not have been the same without it,” he said. tws

f you’ve been wanting to buy a home but have been waiting to apply for a mortage because of your credit score, we’ve got good news. Government sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Feddie Mac recently eased up on mortgage buyback requests. Now, lenders can get relief from buyback if the loan has had a successful review within 30 to 120 days. In addition, lenders may now turn in additional paperwork to cure loan defects. This is one of the major changes advocated by the Mortgage Bankers Association. Lenders will also no longer be required to repurchase a loan if a borrower falls 30 days late on their payment once or twice in the loan’s first three years. According to managing director of FBR Capital Markets, this is “a huge loosening” of previous policies. It means that lenders will now be able to ease their credit policies. Borrowers who would have been previously unable to get a loan due to their credit score can now get a loan. This is something of an attempt to balance things, as many feel credit has become too difficult to come by in the past few years. Though a few have reacted with concern that this change is coming just as home prices are reaching new heights, most feel this change is great news for borrowers. The new rules go into

effect in July, during the months when the construction industry is often busiest, and when many homeowners choose to sell. This means that the restrictions should loosen around the same time that housing prices begin to decline somewhat. In the past several years, lenders needed to have a FICO credit score of 680 or above to get a mortgage. These changes are intended to help facilitate the continued recovery of the housing market. Many analysts felt that the lack of credit availability has been one of the main barriers to this recovery; these changes should remove those blocks for many families in the US. If you are hoping to buy a home, but have been concerned about your credit score, these newly loosened regulations mean that more buyers than ever can now qualify for a loan.

World Cup Soccer STORY BY BALI SZABO

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

riday, June 27th. opened the knockout round of 16 in the World Cup. Brazil and Chile gave us a great opener that ended like no one likes to see—on penalty kicks. The game was there for Chile to win, but their inability to make the easiest of kicks, missing time and time again, gave host Brazil the game, 3-2. The entire penalty kick exercise was a comedy of errors for both teams, as they couldn’t hit the side of a barn door. In Fortaleza, on Sunday, Mexico, which barely qualified, took a 1-0 lead early in the second half against the up-and-coming Netherlands. Now keep in mind that no team with a second-half lead had ever lost the game in World Cup history. Mexico had lost its last five knockout-round appearances. The last time they went through was in 1986, when they hosted the event. They were looking good, and their great goalie, Ochoa, made two super saves. If team defense is Brazil’s weakness, set-piece defense is Mexico’s. In the 88th minute, the Dutch got a rocket of a shot from 30 feet away, off a corner kick, and Ochoa could only watch it go into the left corner. In the fourth minute of stoppage time (to make up for injury time outs), Marquez, of Mexico, committed a questionable foul near his goal and the Dutch got a gift penalty kick on a ‘flop.’ Ochoa went left, the kick went right, and the Dutch won, 2-1. Colombia beat Uruguay 2-0, which meant that all three group winners won their next matches. This bodes ill for the U.S., which faces group winner (3-0) Belgium. I’ve talked to people who didn’t know where Belgium was. An ESPN commentator had no idea where Cameroon was. The World Cup is at least a good geography lesson. Costa Rica played Greece on Sunday afternoon. Brian Ruiz scored early in the second half to give our neighbor Costa Rica the lead. Soon thereafter, one of its players got his second yellow card for a flagrant foul. He had to leave, and he could not be replaced. C.R. had to play a man down for the rest of the match. In the 91st minute, Greece managed to score. To resolve the tie, they played in extra time for 30 minutes. Greece, a man up, did not know how to take advantage and, once again, the game came down to penalty kicks. At least these two teams knew how to kick penalty kicks. Costa Rica went 5 for 5, and their exceptional goalie, Keylor Navas, made a great save on the last shot, to give Costa Rica the win they so well deserved, 2-1. tws

FYI: Christians - John 3:19 Matt 13:22 warns against following Ralph Reed and why. Don't be deceived and dragged into politics. Let go. Let God.

Young Life: The Power Of Presence

Our Father claimed "Judgement" as His. Why is Ralph Reed and perhaps your church encouraging you to judge others when the penalty against your own soul is clearly stated in the New Testament? "Judge not so you will not be judged". When you support policies that harm the poor and judge others, you stand against yourself, your Lord Jesus and the Father. There is a reason Jesus states "I will not know you". Don't let wrong teaching destroy your soul. Read the New Testament. Luke 16:19. Paid for by Mark Cook

oung Life is a national organization that began in 1941. Area director Lisa Carlson has been running Young Life in the Wood River Valley for the past three years. Young Life’s main focus is building relationships between adults and teenagers. These relationships do not happen overnight – they take time, patience, trust and consistency. Young Life recognizes kids’ need for adult support in their life and knows that kids’ lives can be dramatically improved when they are mentored by an adult who has taken time to get to know them.

Young Life’s middle school group, is held one Saturday a month. Both gatherings are a safe place where all are welcomed and fun and silliness help to build friendships. It is a “party with a purpose” and the purpose is to connect with youth, build relationships and introduce non-church kids to Jesus Christ. Young Life is not affiliated with any one church or denomination. Young Life leaders also spend many hours with kids outside of club and WyldLife gatherings at school events and in the community getting to know kids on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 in mountain bike heaven. “I’d never been here before and I fell in love with the recreation right outside my back door and the sense of community. It’s a resort town yet it’s a place you can get to know everyone.” After working at the Pioneer Saloon and Sturtevant’s, Tyo

began working for Sun Valley Company, first in Pete Lane’s bike shop and later as part of Sun Valley’s trail department. “I couldn’t have a better job. My office is on the mountain out of doors every day,” said Tyo, who works as lift supervisor and mountain events coordinator for Dollar Mountain during winter. He had scarcely joined the trail crew when Sun Valley began talking about building bike trails. Tyo jumped at the opportunity. He helped pitch the idea to the Forest Service and the public. And last summer he led a sixman crew and three machines in building Sun Valley’s first flow trail. “It’s really hard work—not glamorous. The traildozers and excavator did 95 percent of the work, and we came along and raked rocks out of the trail,” he said. Sun Valley unveiled that trail

the mountain. It makes a series of banking curves on the South Slope below the Christmas Lift just before coming to an end above the Roundhouse Restaurant. Built-in rollercoaster bumps help slow bikers. “It’s a rollercoaster experience all the way down,” Tyo said of

Bowls before connecting with the Saddle-Up Trail. Hand crews also will turn the Bowl Lane cat track into a 2- to 3-foot biking and hiking trail. The resort is seeking approval from the Bureau of Land Management, which administers Bald Mountain below the Roundhouse to Frenchman’s Gulch,

to build additional trails. When done, bicyclists will have 17 new miles of trail to play on.

The lure of gravity

A voracious consumer of mountain bike media, Tyo approached a friend who worked for the City of Ketchum after he be-

gan reading about pump parks, where bikers use gravity to thread their way over berms and around banks. The city liked the idea and, with help from Scott Bicycles and Smith Optics, the park opened in October 2009. “I saw my first pump park in Ashland, Ore., and I wanted one. I realized I couldn’t build one in the backyard of my rental house. So I looked for a legal way to build one,” Tyo quipped, noting that the Blaine County Recreation District opened a pump park in Hailey that same fall. “I’d have to say the pump park championships is my favorite event of all the ones I’m involved in since I organized it,” he said. “About 70 percent of the competitors are kids under 14. But it also gets adults sharing in the joy of racing around that tight little track. It teaches skills for downhill flow trails. And it’s

geared to promote fun instead of the competitive side.” Last weekend’s Enduro races around Bald Mountain were expected to bring a couple hundred racers to Bald Mountain, while between 400 and 500 are expected to compete in next weekend’s U.S. Marathon MTB National Championship. Right now Sun Valley attracts about 2,000 bike users each summer, Tyo said. The new trails will definitely increase the number of people biking Bald Mountain, he added. But it’s difficult to forecast just how much. “It adds a different experience to bike riding in the valley. We’ve had flow trails with Forbidden Fruit in Adams Gulch and Punchline in Croy Canyon. But this offers a lift-accessed flow trail. I’m just honored to be a part of it all.” tws

Galena starts work on bike trails

Workers just began construction on new bicycle trails at Galena Lodge. Eric Rector, director of trails for the Blaine County Recreation District, said workers began work on June 23—one day before an inch of snow fell. Rector said he does not know whether bicyclists will be able to ride any of the trails this summer. A summer trail network encompassing 48 miles of trail is being constructed over the next few years. About 10 of those miles will be geared toward beginner bikers and 28 toward intermediate bikers.

“Let Food Be Thy Medicine And Medicine Be Thy Food.” - Hippocrates

he term sustainability is used to describe many different approaches toward improving our way of life. We think one of the most important ways to achieve this is through Eating Local and seasonally. With summer here, we are seeing the produce selection expand rapidly, with tomatoes, zucchini, squash and cucumbers arriving this week. This is a great time of year to check out the Ketchum and Hailey Farmers’ Markets to see what your local farmers have produced at their farms this season, and what is being harvested soon. With the summer heat upon us, think about sustainable water management for your gardens and yards. Less is more holds true for this. With less water being applied to the ground, the plant roots are forced to go deeper in search of water. This helps to build a healthier plant and a stronger root system and also the nutrients in the soil. Water your plants early in the morning or later in the evening. This way the sun has less chance of evaporating the water being sprayed into your garden. Use mulch where you can to help hold moisture and slowly release water. Turn parts of your yard into a beautiful native grass area that requires less or no water, or into a small home garden area to produce delicious vegetables for you and your family. There are many great examples of these types of gardens throughout the Valley. You can visit the Sawtooth Botanical Garden or go on their 19th annual Garden Tour on Sunday, July 6th from 3 to 6 p.m., contact the SBG at 208-726-9358 for more details. There are also many great landscapers in the Valley that can help you achieve your desired results of a low-maintenance, native or vegetable garden. We are in the process of developing a demonstrational garden at the WRSC and are always looking for volunteers that have passion for learning these techniques. Stop by the WRSC for more details. We at the WRSC are committed to local food and education on growing, preserving and cooking food. We provide gardening supplies, seeds suited for our climate, seedlings produced locally, and compost. We offer monthly farm-to-table dinners and cooking classes to learn more about eating local and seasonally.

We wish you a safe and happy Fourth of July! Al

Bellevue Woman Involved In Dramatic Rescue STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

uick action by a Bellevue woman helped save a family of five from Jerome on a blustery day at Magic Reservoir. April Chizum had just finished fishing and was about to return to her nearby cabin when she heard cries for help. “I looked out and saw a small aluminum boat. I thought, ‘I can’t believe someone’s out in a boat fishing today’—the wind was blowing 25 miles per hour, and it was chilly. But, then, the cries sounded like seagulls, so I went back to what I was doing,” she said. But the calls continued—louder this time. Chizum grabbed her binoculars and saw that the boat had either capsized or was sinking and had spilled people into the water. She called 911 and relayed that there were people overboard 200 yards south of the Eastside ramp. Then she grabbed her own life jacket and inflatable kayak and paddled toward the boat. “I thought, ‘Oh no, I’m by myself. It’s up to me,’ ” she recounted. Jonathan Baker, the 32-yearold father, had no life jacket and was unable to swim. He was holding onto a 7-year-old girl and 3-year-old boy, both of whom had life jackets. The mother, 30-year-old Shyla, and another 3-year-old boy were missing by the time Chizum had spent 20 minutes paddling a hundred yards through the wind to the boat. She pulled the boy onto her kayak. When the other two tried to get in, she told them to take the handles on the back of the kayak and paddled them to shore. “He kept asking, ‘Where’s my wife and son?’ I didn’t know,” Chizum said. It turned out that Shyla Baker had been able to swim to shore despite an injured shoulder she

was to have seen the doctor for on Monday. “I didn’t have my life jacket on, either. I was really mad at myself—that was a big stupid thing to do to be out there without a life jacket,” she said. “Fortunately, I was on the swim team during high school so I did know how to swim, although I couldn’t do it very well with my injured arm. “I told my son, ‘Don’t struggle. Get on your back. You’re going to float. You’re going to be okay.’ And we started praying together,” she said. “I wasn’t able to grab him because of my shoulder—I was afraid he would have drowned me. But I kept him in sight.” The brisk wind aided, pushing mother and son toward shore. There, an elderly couple who had turned out to see what the commotion was all about met them, holding the boy to warm him up. Others showed up with towels and sweatshirts to try to warm the children, who were suffering from hypothermia. The paramedics showed up about 40 minutes after Chizum had called. They treated the children for hypothermia, taking one to the hospital to treat for aspiration, Baker said. Attempts to retrieve the 14foot boat to determine if it had a hole in it were unsuccessful—it had sunk to the bottom of the reservoir by the time the wind calmed. On Monday, everyone was fine, albeit still a bit shook up. “When people come out and help you like that… I’m just so thankful for all their help,” said Shyla Baker. Chizum said she didn’t know if the man and the two children she saved would have made it if she hadn’t been there. “I’m glad I had the right vessel at the right time. It was like God was saying, ‘You’re it.’ You do what you’ve gotta do,” she said. “And anybody down here would have done it. We have a great community here—they watch each other’s back.” tws

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JULY 2 FROM PICABO ANGLER

h, how we love fly-fishing around Sun Valley in July! It is a magical month around here. We are finally free of spring’s high water and we are not yet to the low flows of August. It is safe to say, at least this season, that July is the perfect month to fish! Add to this the fact that we are at the beginning of our summer hatches as well, and an angler can quickly deduce that now is the time to be on the water. On Silver Creek, the prairie caddis and the trico are starting to steal the show in the morning. The trico has been spotty as it continues to ramp up, but if you are in the right place, you should be seeing fish starting to rise by 8:30 in the morning. They could rise even earlier on a really hot day. The key is to be on the water when the air temperature hits 70 degrees. Anglers can start the season with larger trico patterns like a whopping size 18 CDC Biot Dun. If the caddis are still out, try using a Goddard caddis or Hemingway caddis and fish them in a skating fashion. During the afternoon on the Creek the damselfly action has been pretty good, and the baby hopper is now out in force. With the recent hard winds blowing fish could easily key on the baby hopper for a day. Don’t leave it out of your fly box. The Big Wood continues to drop and settle into a summer flow, but we’re almost there. The green drake is putting on a show up and down the river and stoneflies are active also. A note on stoneflies: We don’t see huge hatches of stoneflies on the Wood, with the exception of Little Yellow Sallies, but they are there in frequency and in variety. So, even if you don’t see huge hatches, the Stimulator, Turk’s Tarantula, Sofa Pillows and like flies will work very well as searching patterns on the Wood. This can also be said of the Big Lost. There are better hatches than Stoneflies, but there are few better flies to fish! We still haven’t made it down to float the South Fork of the Boise at the new higher flows. If you have and would like to help report your findings (mostly related to how the boating is), we would love to hear from you and put your findings on our blog. You can help keep your fellow angler safe on the water! Please send your comments to info@picaboangler.com Happy fishing, everyone!

Studio Tour To Exhibit Mosaic Project

Sixty-five artists throughout the Valley have donated an 8-inch-by-8-inch original work of art to be installed in the 2014 Wood River Studio Tour’s Mosaic Project, which will be exhibited at the Jennifer Bellinger Gallery in Ketchum, July 4-13. The artworks will be auctioned online to the highest bidders, with proceeds benefiting the non-profit Wood River Valley Studio Tour, Inc. Artists’ contributions for the Mosaic Project provide a significant source of funding for the Studio Tour’s marketing budget to promote the Valley’s community of artists. The Studio Tour will host a reception and celebration showcasing the Mosaic Project on July 11 from 5-8 p.m. at Jennifer Bellinger Studio & Gallery, located at 511 E. 4th St. in Ketchum, during the Sun Valley Gallery Association Gallery Walk. The July exhibition of the Mosaic Project will provide visitors a preview of the valley’s artistic community while providing information about the Studio Tour. “We hope to entice visitors to return to the Valley in September for the second annual Studio Tour, to be held September 27-28,” states a recent news release from the Studio Tour. “Daily events will take place leading up to the tour, beginning Tuesday, September 23, with the Collectors’ Series Lectures.”

Ketchum to Offer RV Parking

Ketchum will offer free, short-term street parking for recreational vehicles this summer in hopes of attracting visitors for lunch or shopping, the City Council has decided. Free parking will be available in the center lanes on First Avenue between River and First streets. Estimates are that three to four recreational vehicles and/or campers can be accommodated, per side, depending on their size. Signage on Main Street will be erected soon to direct drivers to the area. Parking will be restricted to daytime hours with no overnight parking allowed. “We see many RVs drive through Ketchum on their way to campsites north of town,” Mayor Nina Jonas said. “We’re hoping that some of them will stop for a few hours if there is a convenient place to park.

After earning her master’s degree in physical education and health from the University of Oregon, the 1940 Hailey High School graduate taught in Bellevue, Wash., for 31 years. She returned to Hailey in 1979 to be with her mother, who was then 79. Her mother, who lived to be 99, had 10 years of good health remaining at the time Outzs returned. And Outzs took advantage of it by skiing, hiking and biking her way through Europe, China and Japan. She followed the Lewis and Clark route from St. Louis to Oregon on her bike. She hiked the ruins of Machu Pucchi and eyeballed what ended up being the last tortoise in existence on Galapagos Island. She kayaked through the San Juan Islands and paddled among the grey whales in Baja and the orca whales swimming off the coast of Vancouver Island. “Traveling was my life. As a teacher, I had no responsibilities in summer, so every summer someone would plan a trip and I’d go along,” she said. “It taught me to be aware of the world. “I was for it when they reintroduced wolves here. We need wolves for balance. People wonder why we’ve lost the salmon. Part of it is that elk have eaten the vegetation along the rivers and it’s too hot for the fish. I’d hate to think something

For that, the Blaine County Heritage Court named her to its court honoring women

All four women will ride in Hailey’s Fourth of July Parade on Friday. Outzs has been here long enough to recall a different way of life. She remembers, for instance, when sled dogs raced up Hailey’s Main Street amidst 6-foot piles of snow. “Everyone put the cars away during the winter and that was our way of getting people to come to town,” said Outzs,

I traded one Indian woman a mountain goat my father had shot for deerskin gloves.” One of her father’s primary duties as sheriff, she says, was to keep out the unsavory characters who were attracted to Ketchum’s gambling. “He’d tell them: Better go out and keep on traveling.

I think we should have room for everybody.” While she can see off to the side and the outline of people in front of her, Outzs no longer cooks because of her limited vision. She takes her lunches at The Senior Connection and dinners at the Souper Supper. She attends the Over 60 and Getting Fit class at College of Southern Idaho in the Community Campus three days a week. “I’m impressed by her determination,” said Lois Heagle, who drives her to Souper Supper. “In winter she takes the bus to and from exercise class.

STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

OUTSTANDING

ensing impending doom, two Jewish families opted to send their children to the safety of the United States on the eve of World War II. Two of those children came of age as Adolph Hitler was imprisoning their relatives in concentration camps. And so they contacted the Office of Strategic Services, saying “All we want to do is kill Nazis.” The OSS put them to work, sending them on what seemed like a suicide mission, flying under enemy radar, parachuting onto a glacier and infiltrating a Nazi stronghold with the idea of relaying information back to the Allies. Their actions helped the Allies turn the tide against Nazi Germany by disrupting a vital German-Italian supply route and bringing about the surrender of Innsbruck. And their hair-raising adventure has been recounted in “The Real Inglorious Bastards.” The hour-long docudrama is one of three films that will be shown this month as part of the second annual Jewish Film Festival. The festival kicks off Monday night with the film “Disobedience: The Sousa Mendes Story.” “Six Days in June” will be shown Monday, July 14, and “The Real Inglorious Bastards,” Wednesday, July 16. The award-winning films will be shown free of charge beginning at 6 p.m. at the Community School off Dollar Road just south of the Sun Valley Pavilion. “The response last year was so enormous we had to turn about 40 people away each night from The Community Library, which holds about 150, including the spill-over room,” said film festival chairperson Linda Cooper. “Half the audience was not Jewish, which was wonderful because we wanted to showcase the richness of Jewish culture. And I’ve had so many requests from Jews and non-Jews alike wanting to be on the committee.” Cooper and the 13 who serve on that committee screened more than a hundred films to find the chosen three. “Disobedience: The Sousa Mendes Story” tells the story of a Portuguese diplomat in France who issued 30,000 visas for Jews during World War II, even though the president of Portugal was friendly with Hitler. His grandson will present the film and field questions following its showing. “Six Days in June” chronicles the events of the Six Day War between Egypt and Israel in 1967 with a fresh perspective that features stunning archival footage and first-hand accounts from both Israeli and Arab soldiers. It explores how these events reshaped the regional political landscape, having profound global consequences. “It’s a fascinating docudrama. I think people will learn a lot of things they didn’t know before,” said Cooper. “And it’s very relevant to today.” Cooper said she was inspired to put together the film festival by her mother who was very involved in volunteering with Jewish charities. “She used to tell me about the Holocaust. It stayed with me –I thought how it would be so wonderful to showcase our culture and present films that show understanding between our religion and others. And it’s amazing how many Jews were involved in the creative arts, including films.” tws Information: Linda Cooper at 208-726-4683.

it for wildlife and public recreation. Rob Van Nuys said he’d probably be watching a local baseball game had he been home in Chico, Calif., but he was happy to be visiting friends in the Valley and learning to throw the hatchet, instead. Kathie Levison, a board member of the Land Trust, said she was particularly pleased to see how various groups had come together to acquire the land to protect antelope and sage grouse. “It’s amazing to see all this,” added Hamilton. “I didn’t know whether we’d have 20 people or 200 turn out.” tws

Local sources estimate the impact at close to $10 million annually. Our area historically has been known for Sun Valley, American’s first destination ski resort, and other outdoor recreation. Today’s Wood River Valley recognizes the role of the arts in attracting visitors and enhancing the quality of life.” As part of the program, the approximately 30 conference participants enjoyed an on-site exhibition of 13 original works of art by local artists, called the Juried Collection which was organized

by WRVST. The artists invited to exhibit their work were chosen through a blind jury review by juror Roger Rowley, director of the University of Idaho Prichard Art Gallery. Mr. Rowley reviewed 280 images submitted by 55 professional artists within the Sun Valley community. The information provided to the juror included titles, dimensions and media descriptions while excluding artist identity. Jury selection was based upon the juror’s assessment of excellence in execution without regard to media. Mr. Rowley has 25 years’ experience in gallery and museum work. He received his BFA from the University of Colorado, at Boulder, and his MFA from Visual Studies Workshop, Rochester, N.Y. The 2014 WRVST Juried Collection Artists include: Nolina Burge, Sarah Davies, Pamela DeTuncq, Jen Galpin, Suzanne Hazlett, Lisa Horton, Janet Houts, Judith Kindler, Jan Lassetter, Tom Prater, Leslie Rego, Janet Starr and Lisa Wood. tws

RESORT PREPS FOR WINTER

But up on Baldy crews have been getting ready for the next ski season. Henry Frank worked this past week on a machine that he says “destroys trees” as crews thinned out trees crowding the edges of ski runs. Crews also removed the rarely used Flying Squirrel and Sunnyside chairlifts, sending the Sunnyside lift to the new Cherry Peak Resort, which is four miles from Richmond and 15 miles from Logan, Utah.

Wildflower Of The Week

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

ame’s rocket, which goes by the botanical name “hesperis matronalis,” has been hiding out in a gully beneath the White Clouds Trail opposite the Sun Valley Lodge. Hesperis is Greek for “evening”—it’s possible it was given that name because the scent of the flowers becomes stronger in evening. Some plants may bloom until August but they’re at their showiest earlier in the summer. Originating in Europe, it was brought to North America in the 17th century. The plant is a prolific seed producer—hence, the reason you’ll find them in ditches and gullies. While it plays host to several butterfly species, it is actually considered an invasive in Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Wisconsin. Want to know more? The Sawtooth Botanical Garden is hosting a wildflower walk on Thursday. This week’s walk will be led by butterfly expert Ann Christensen and Jeanne Cassell, founder of the Wildflower Walks. Participants will assemble at the botanical garden at Highway 75 and Gimlet Road at 9:30 a.m. and go from there to Taylor Canyon north of Ketchum. The four-mile walk is considered easy with a bit of a climb. It will last until about 2 p.m. The walk is free but donations are welcome. RSVP to 208-726-9358.

Bert Gillette says they’re returning vets who have been pumped with an endless amount of drugs that is not doing the trick. Not when 22 vets commit suicide each day. Not when more and more news stories tell of homelessness, unemployment and divorce among men and women in uniform. That’s why the two Wood River Valley men are helping spearhead a new national organization—R4 Alliance—to help what they call “our military family.” “We’re incredible at saving lives on the battlefield—medicine has learned to save people who wouldn’t have survived before. But what we haven’t done is figure out how to teach people to live again,” said Gillette, a former employee of Higher Ground Sun Valley who now serves as director of programs and outreach for R4 Alliance. The organization is named for its four objectives: Research. Recruit. Rehabilitate. Reintegrate. “We think it will fit in nicely with the increasing recognition by the VA that the private sector may be better able to care for service members and their families,” said Potter, chairman of the board of the new organization.

The organization had its genesis in a workshop held two years ago in Sun Valley that included representatives from the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secretary of the Army, the Veterans Administration and the top nonprofit programs providing therapeutic recreational services to service members, including Higher Ground. Among its objectives: •Conducting studies. Five doctorate researchers from institutions like the University of Mississippi and Clemson are already trying to assess the value of therapeutic recreation in helping wounded vets reintegrate into society. “Higher Ground surveyed its

But what we haven’t done is figure out how to teach people to live again,” -Bert Gillette for a camp. This will save time and money,” said Gillette. Better information will also provide a “warm handoff” for vets at recreational camps, said Potter. For instance, a vet who gets turned on to fly-fishing during a Higher Ground Camp can then be connected with a Project Healing Waters chapter in their area so they can continue to feed that camaraderie and passion, which has given them a new outlook on life. •Improving standards among organizations caring for vets. Many organizations have big hearts and bad practices, said Gillette. “We want to find the best of the best and use what they do to establish standards and training for a better product.” •Enhancing funding and economic viability through creative private-sector fundraising and private and public grants.

One such fundraiser, Patriots Parade, involves a virtual wall of military killed in action during the war on terrorism. For a $250 donation, a donor will be given an American-made Stars and Stripes that he can photograph at his own personal summit and return with a message on behalf of a military man who has fallen. While with Higher Ground, which will stage 13 therapeutic recreational camps for veterans in Sun Valley this year, Gillette saw firsthand how therapeutic recreation can affect vets’ attitudes. Case in point: a veteran whose face was disfigured— the result of an unsuccessful attempt at suicide. He came to Higher Ground, found the sense of camaraderie he had missed after leaving the service, and rediscovered his passion for life. Today, he turns wood pens, which he sells for veterans’ causes. “He said that camp was the first time he had felt comfortable eating in front of other people,” Gillette said. Mike Chesne, a Army Special Forces medic from Alexandria, La., said the camp helped him and his family to realize they were not alone in their struggle to regain a sense of normalcy. He and a Marine from Dallas who was electrocuted while in Iraq both returned home to establish fly-fishing chapters. They call each other weekly. Potter, a retired executive with a national food and beverage association, was a combat engineer during Vietnam. He couldn’t get his uniform off fast enough when he returned home, given the country’s attitude about its vets then. He found healing for himself as he helped create a military appreciation component to the PGA Tournament that San Diego’s Century Club puts on. He began volunteering with Higher Ground after moving to Hailey. “This gives me the chance to work with guys and celebrate what these guys have done,” he said. “This community should be very proud of what it’s accomplished with servicemen and their rehabilitation going back to World War II when Sun Valley Lodge served as a naval hospital. There’s no reason we can’t continue that in modern times.” tws

Fab Four

BY KAREN BOSSICK

he man who plays Ringo Starr must spend oneand-a-half hours before each concert putting on makeup including a prosthetic nose. The man who plays John Lennon fumbled around for months, gaining dexterity as he learned to play the bass left-handed. And everyone in the band had to listen to countless hours of tapes to learn how to talk and sing like the Beatles. But their attention to detail has made The Fab Four the No. 1 Beatles tribute group in the world. “What we do is not a joke. We take it very seriously,” said Ron McNeil, who founded the group in 1997. “We’re magicians on stage. We’ve created an illusion. Even Cynthia Lennon has told us we’re the closest she’s seen to the Beatles.” The Fab Four will bring their “Yea, yea, yeahs” to the Sun Valley Pavilion on Saturday as the nation celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ first appearance in the United States. The concert, presented by Sun

Valley Opera and Sun Valley Company, starts at 8 p.m. McNeil started the group after seeing Ardy Sarraf impersonate Paul McCarney at a Beatles convention in Los Angeles. “He was playing a song by Paul McCartney and he sounded exactly like him. I asked him about forming a group and a couple of years later we did it. We started at Disneyland’s Tomorrowland Terrace before moving on to places like The Hilton, The Aladdin, The Sahara and The Riviera in Las Vegas. Now we’ve played all over the world.” None of the group, which includes McNeil, Ardy Sarraf, Gavin Pring and Erick Fiedel, is old enough to have an original Beatles memory. But they fed on the memories of their parents and older sisters and—of course, Beatles records. “I borrowed those records— like ‘Meet the Beatles’—and never gave them back. The music intrigued me. I spent hours trying to figure out how they did what they did. And, of course, the music is so relevant to today with its universal themes of love and peace,” said McNeil.

Delightfully Pleasant:

Two story home with three bedrooms, two and a half baths, a bright and open floor plan with a fully fenced and landscaped yard. Relax on the back deck with full southern sun exposure. Sliding glass door in the dining room leads to the large back yard. A fully functional kitchen with all the appliances included. The home is conveniently located near Wood River High School, town, bike path, and park.

Impersonating the mop tops from Liverpool starts with the instruments themselves—vintage guitars that are still being manufactured today, McNeil said. The pronunciation is a big factor, as well, he said. “We had to learn to say ‘it’s been a haaahd day’s night, instead of ‘a hard day’s night.’ We listened and then we went back and listened again and then we went back and listened again.” And, while the singer who plays George Harrison naturally looks like George Harrison, the others spend at least an hour on makeup before each concert, with the musician who plays Ringo even getting a life mask to copy Ringo’s famous schnauz. For their trouble, the Fab Four have gotten a taste of what the Beatles enjoyed. “The girls still scream—they’re just a lot older now. And some of their kids and grandkids are screaming their heads off, as well,” McNeil said. “Other stars from that era, such as members of The Monkees, have come to see us and they’ve been very impressed.” The show is for the whole family, McNeil said. “The Beatles’ music bridges generations. And we’ve found that everyone has been touched by the Beatles.” tws

The lure of all this beauty is perhaps more dangerous for little dogs than it is for us. What exactly does that mean? What do you do? It means that when you take your small dog hiking, the closer your dog is to you, the more likely you are to save its life. Even more reassuring is to have your small dog on a leash right next to you. Secondly, put a bell on your dog’s collar, even if your dog is on a leash. This will let any forest animals know there is something unusual and to go the other way. This can prevent unwanted wildlife interfaces. It also helps you to hear where your dog is if he is accidentally separated from you. While we may think it is cruel to keep our dog leashed in the woods when it’s so much fun for him to run and chase little critters, or we get lured into believing our little dog will always come when called, all it takes is ONE TIME for them to misbehave, because …THEY ARE DOGS. All it takes is ONE time for them to go ahead of you around the corner on a trail to get picked up by a large bird or other animal. Little dogs are AWESOME companions but, it is our job to keep them safe. Sometimes being safe isn’t always the most fun, but your dog will love being with you even if he is on a leash! Happy hiking!

evening. She was among a handful of new players that included a tuba-playing cowgirl and ranch hand named Cherish Armstrong, and Spencer Wright, a Community School student whose great-grandfather was the first

doctor in the county. Orchestra spokesperson Lynne Heidel told supporters that the orchestra includes people from all walks of life, including retired lawyers and court clerks. Some are professional musicians, including Barbara Pytlewski, who has played with the Los Angeles and Sun Valley Summer symphonies, and Jim Watkinson and Brad Hershey, who have played bass with the Boise Philharmonic. Others are multi-instrumentalists, including Bob Ericksen, who plays banjo and fiddle in addition to the viola, and Susan Snyder, who plays violin and sings with the Caritas Chorale. One—Lynn Flickinger—didn’t even pick up the violin until midlife.

BRIEFS

Avoid Illegal Fireworks

It was not too long ago that a local resident set off a $9,000 bottle rocket near Ketchum. The pyrotechnic started a fire in dry sagebrush, and the resident was held responsible for the costs of extinguishing the fire. Ketchum officials remind partygoers that aerial fireworks such as bottle rockets, mortars and Roman Candles are illegal in Blaine County, even though they are legally sold in parts of Idaho. “Vegetation is so dry this year that we hope people will be particularly cautious,” Ketchum Fire Chief Mike Elle said. “We’ve seen the effects of two major forest fires in the past decade. We are asking everyone to cooperate in preventing another one.” If a wildfire starts because of fireworks, the person responsible may be held liable for damages, he stressed. Any fireworks that go more than 20 feet in the air or travel more than 15 feet along the ground are illegal in Idaho. Sparklers, smoke bombs and “snakes” are legal, although the city urges people to take appropriate precautions to prevent fires. Details on the law in Ketchum are available at ketchumidaho.org.

Itd To Suspend Highway Work This Weekend

Work that could impact travel will be suspended on all Idaho Transportation Department highway construction projects statewide for the Fourth of July holiday, except in special circumstances. ITD requires contractors on highway construction projects to postpone work on any highway, except for normal maintenance operations, during the extended holiday weekend (July 3-5) if it could delay the traveling public. Work is allowed on the highway shoulders or anywhere else not impacting traffic. “Contractors have no interest in working over the holiday, just like most of us,” said ITD Chief Operations Officer Jim Carpenter. “Most would take these days off anyway, even if it was not required.” ITD also reminds drivers not to drink and drive, to buckle up, follow the posted speed limit and call 5-1-1 or check 511.idaho.gov for highway travel conditions.

Hailey’s Fourth Of July Celebration

As the Blaine County seat, Hailey is proud of its history and heritage. Part of that heritage is the celebration of its 133rd Fourth of July Parade and Celebration. This year’s theme is “Wood River Valley Inspires.” Hailey will host five days of events which will feature the exciting Sawtooth Rangers rodeo, a pancake breakfast, a fun and unique parade on Main Street with horses and creative floats, a wet zone, kids’ carnival, ice cream social, a spectacular fireworks display, lots of live music, antique fairs, and a fast-paced criterium bike race through the center of town. There is plenty to do and authentic entertainment for all ages. Register for the parade and get more information at www.haileyidaho.com.

90 Before 9 A.M.

Friedman Memorial Airport in Hailey is encouraging air travelers flying out of the airport to arrive early for morning flights. There are currently three flights departing from the airport before 9 a.m., resulting in a very busy time for check-ins and security. The airport recommends that outbound passengers check in at least 90 minutes in advance for morning flights.

Ketchum Joins Colorado Association Of Ski Towns

The city of Ketchum has joined the Colorado Association of Ski Towns to gain increased access to data from other Western ski communities, Mayor Nina Jonas said. Benefits include quarterly reports on comparative sales tax receipts, ability to survey other communities on specific issues, discounted subscriptions to various newsletters, and assistance in identifying short-term rental owners and collecting appropriate taxes. “Membership will give us the opportunity to learn how similar towns are responding to similar issues,” Jonas said.
