Faux Spas At The Parade THE WAY I SEE IT BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH
A
nd what a day it was. The 2014 Wagon Days Parade on August 30 was a fun afternoon for many a visitor and local alike. I had the pleasure of announcing the event at 1 p.m. on Saturday, despite threats of rain, thunder and lightning earlier in the day. By parade time, the clouds cleared and the extravaganza began sharply at 1:13 p.m. In my rush to do a credible job as host of the activities from my post in front of St. Thomas Church, I must confess that I may have made a few omissions and errors. Because of this, I would like to take this opportunity to set the record straight. First of all, I must apologize to David Ketchum American Legion Post 115 because when I introduced the veterans on hand, I stated that there were veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietmam, the Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan and the conflict in Ferguson, Missouri. No one in the post was involved in the Missouri conflict. Then, as to Grand Marshal Jane Eittram, I stated that she was quite essential to the birth of The Papoose Club’s Days of the Old West Pancake Breakfast and had actually invented the first pancake. Everyone knows it was Aunt Jemima and, thus, it was a total falsehood on my part. My apologies to Ms. Eittram. Further, when there was a lull in the parade between the City of Ketchum and the City of Sun Valley entries, I suggested it was because the two factions were not close and did not get along, thus providing the long wait for the viewing public. It was a total fabrication of the truth and I humbly beg the two towns’ forgiveness. Again, apologies go out to the Heritage Court ladies as I intimated that I had dated three out of the four. Upon further reflection, I realize now that it was an outright lie—my regrets, ladies. To the riders in the Americana entry, I announced that they had been performing at events such this one all over the country for 30 years and were damn well sick and tired of doing so. In contrast, a spokesman for the group stated that the group was quite happy and they were eager to continue on with their performances. (My bad.) The Spirit of Ketchum Iditarod Dog Team, made

S
cott Slonim won’t have to tell his students what he did on his summer vacation this year. They can see for themselves Friday night when Slonim competes in the Battle of the Blades. The technology teacher at Hemingway Elementary School became the student this summer as he and eight other amateur contestants paired with professional skaters to compete in an “American Idol”-like competition on ice skates. Each will compete for his favorite charity. The event—a popular, boisterous fundraiser for the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club—will be held at 8 p.m. Friday. And, if the past two Battles are any indication, it’ll be a sellout. “It’s not easy taking up a new sport at age 44—it’s really, really hard. And ice is hard. Very hard,” Slonim said, pointing out his knee pads and elbow pads. “But being in Battle of the Blades has been one of the best experiences of my life.” An avid skier, Slonim has always been among the first half-dozen skiers to board the lift on opening day. He shows up at the lodge an hour ahead of opening on weekends, stuffs sandwiches in his pockets so he can eat on the chair and hits the slopes as soon as the school bell marks day’s end. But he had little experience with ice skates, save for joining his students on their yearly Skate Night and operating the applause meter for Battle of the Blades. With school out for the summer, Slonim took advantage of the skates and free lessons Battle of the Blades organizers gave him. He wore his ski helmet at first as he waddled around the rink like a penguin. As he gained proficiency, he began showing up every morning at 7:10, rubbing his bruises as he waited for the Zamboni to smooth the ice. He skates up to four hours some days, leaving himself too weary to do the biking he used to do. Slonim has learned several required elements, including a crossover and jump. He learned to spin around in the air by skating on one foot in a circle, then practicing jumping from the rink onto a carpet. Finally, he began spinning in the air—90 degrees at first, then 91 and 92 degrees as he worked toward a 180-degree turn. He’s also learned to skate backwards, do the bunny hop, glide on one skate with his other leg straight behind him and waltz with his partner Kim Navarro. “I can do it all, although not necessarily well,” he said, rubbing a

with “Double Indemnity” (1944)—a film that has been hailed by Gregoire as the “quintessential noir film.” It is considered one of the first noir films and was highly influential to its predecessors. “Double Indemnity, and the film noir canon, holds a mirror up to the dark desires and impulses within us all,” states Gregoire in a recent news release. The second film, on September 18, is “Laura” (1944), a story of haunting obsession and love directed toward the female protagonist, Laura. The unique cinematography and ensemble cast only add to the dramatic and romance-strewn plot, making this a one-of-a-kind masterpiece for the genre. Finally, rounding out the series on September 25, is the film “Kiss Me Deadly” (1955). A notable classic, its most defining features are the ever-present sleazy detective, a theme of Cold War-esque nuclear bomb paranoia, as well as all the

yla Miller, a Community School senior carrying a 3.89 grade point average, has a need for speed. She expresses this on the mountain in Sun Valley and on mountains around the world as an alpine ski racer. This is her third year at the Community School after moving to the Wood River Valley from Lake Stevens, Wash., a city of about 8,000 people, 45 minutes north of Seattle. “It’s really similar to Sun Valley except that it’s really a summer town and everything revolves around the lake.”

As to skiing, Miller says she started as soon as she could walk. “I learned at Stevens Pass, which was an hour-and-a half-drive every weekend. It was a playground for me. I would go with friends and I had a lot of freedom. I started racing around the age of seven. I competed in downhill, slalom, giant slalom and super-giant slalom, and if I didn’t finish second to my best friend, I pretty much always won.”
As to the courses she raced on at that age, “They were much shorter, much slower and easier. But I always loved speed, so I loved the downhill—it’s my forte.” Miller now skis for Team Lyon on the North American Cup level, the best athletes in North America ages 17 to 35, as well as skiing for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. Although she is based in Sun Valley, she travels with the Western Regional Training Group and competes in the four alpine events, “even though my best is downhill,” she says. Her favorite place to train has been Chile. “It was really interesting skiing in a Third World country, where it’s not an afternoon activity but a privilege.” She has also received three national medals for 18-and-under in downhill, super-G and overall. “That was so surreal—I was barely 16.” What about her future goals in the sport? “I just spoke with my coaches and it’s hard to pinpoint an outcome goal. I want to reach my full potential but it’s a thin line to go as far as the U.S. Ski Team, Olympics or race Division I college. It’s up to me to decide how much work to put in. I love the lifestyle—it’s not just a sport but also a journey that not many kids can say they took. I also love speed because it’s such an adrenaline rush. You can make it to the bottom or you can literally die. I’m also a very competitive person; I have been my entire life. My dad is a world-class athlete in water skiing and he instilled it in me. I grew up on the water and it shocked everyone when I quit water skiing for snow skiing. I like to think I made the right decision.”

I started out with the Caritas Chorale in the back row of the bass section in 2000. Now I’m taking over. It’s a great responsibility to take over an organization from its founder. I intend to honor its past and put my stamp on it, as well.” Indeed, you can look for the chorale started by Dick Brown 15 years ago to begin singing a new song under Rowsey, beginning with the choir’s annual fundraiser Sunday night. Rowsey plans to take a respite from Brown’s focus on great medieval works to focus on American choral R.L.

That happened a few weeks ago when students in the Sun Valley Summer Symphony’s Summer Music Workshops started to play an ambitious 12-page piece titled “In Every Soul.” It began to rain and hail. Instead of despairing, organizers turned the risers around and invited the audience to join them on stage. “The lyrics ended with the words, ‘On a side of every storm there is joy.’ We had a magical experience, as if we were in someone’s living room weathering the storm. It wouldn’t have happened if we hadn’t been prepared.” Rowsey is one of the community’s busiest music makers, directing St. Thomas Playhouse’s “Hello Dolly” and “South Pacific,” directing music at Our Lady of the Snows and Light on the Mountains, leading the B-Tones and Enchanté for the symphony’s School
of Music, directing A Few Good Men chorus and creating music for Company of Fools’ productions. All this after he moved here to slow down from a stressful career with touring Broadway productions. “I’m usually a five-year guy—someone who stays in a community for five years. I’ve been here 14 years and I’m not ready to wrap it up,” Rowsey said. “Maybe because I keep finding new roles here. Maybe because of the community itself. Just look at the symphony, which provides thousands of dollars in support for this Valley’s students. They’re going to store their new Steinway at the Community Campus so our music students can play on that beautiful, beautiful instrument. Most communities would have to beg for something like that.” He paused. “I’ve always loved where I lived, but I don’t think I’ve ever been in love with a place I’ve lived in as much as here.” tws

Foundation Helps Jonestown Flourish BY KAREN BOSSICK
C
olby Werley encountered something she hadn’t expected when she tried to help residents of Jonestown, Miss., learn healthier eating habits. They were reluctant to grow fresh garden food because it reminded them of their ancestors working the plantations during slavery. They didn’t eat whole-wheat bread because plantation owners had eaten white bread and they aspired to that status. “I knew about slavery, but I didn’t know how much it impacted how they live now,” said Werley, a student at Long Island University. Werley was among several Wood River Valley residents who spent nearly three weeks in Jonestown, Miss., this summer with Flourish Foundation’s Compassionate Young Leaders program. Jonestown, considered one of the poorest pockets of the United States, is a town of 1,700 people—96 percent of them black. The median income for a family is $18,000—nearly half are considered impoverished. Once an agricultural town, the majority of workers work two to three months out of the year at a cottonseed oil mill on the outskirts of town. Others have to seek work outside the community The Matagorda Plantation, established before the Civil War, sits north of town. But elsewhere houses

Residents loiter on their porches and street corners with nothing to do but wait for floods that happen regularly. “The Southern culture was quite an exotic experience—not what we’re used to,” said Mariah Stout, who

said the experience taught her not to judge a book by its cover. “I learned it was so important to get to know the people before passing judgment on them,” she said. Shapiro, who also accompanied the program to India, said the program is an experience every high school student should have: “Flourish Foundation changed my life. It opened my eyes to contemplative mindfulness, helping me to be sure of myself and to be present in the moment, not worrying so much about other things. And it changed the way I think about things.” tws

Arnot ‘Climbs For A Cure’ BY KAREN BOSSICK
K
etchum mountaineer Melissa Arnot has summitted Mount Everest five times. But last month she led a climb of mountainous implications right in her backyard for anyone who has ever been touched by cancer. Arnot led 10 climbers up 10,751-foot Thompson Peak near Stanley on August 2. They raised more than $19,000 for breast cancer research as part of Expedition Inspiration’s annual Climb for a Cure. The annual climb continued the tradition Expedition Inspiration founder Laura Evans started when she
led 16 fellow breast cancer survivors up Argentina’s 22,837-foot Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere. Climbers hung tribute flags on Thompson Peak, honoring those who are fighting or have succumbed to the disease. “The long traverses across talus beds and snowfields on the way to the summit was a reminder to never give up,” said climber and breast cancer survivor Jennifer Self. The funds will be used for the annual Laura Evans Memorial Breast Cancer Symposium, which brings renowned scientists, researchers and physicians from around the world to Sun Valley to share unpublished information, analyze breakthroughs and discuss
treatment possibilities. The Take-a-Hike for Breast Cancer Research will take place Sept. 13 in Boise where the organization moved last year from Ketchum in search of a bigger population base. Despite the move, the organization retains a strong group of board members in Sun Valley, said Suzanne Mulenos, a breast cancer survivor who has long supported Expedition Inspiration. “Breast cancer doesn’t care where the funds come from, just as it doesn’t care how old, young or what color you are,” she said.

The mother—a former competitive swimmer—was able to make it to shore on her own with another child in tow.

but who wouldn’t want to go on a ‘Surfin’ Safari’? We sing ‘Be True To Your School’—something positive and uplifting, and the harmonies have a warmth to them that puts a person in a good mood. The melodies and harmonies and the beat and the concept—those are the four elements that make tws our songs keepers.”

ike Love has been fielding interview questions for 53 years—ever since The Beach Boys played their first paying gig alongside Ike and Tina Turner at a New Year’s Eve concert in the Long Beach Auditorium full of African-American kids. They only played three songs, including their first hit, “Surfin’ USA,” But The Beach Boys were on their way to becoming one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time. “One of my greatest memories is of the Fourth of July when we played before 900,000 people in Philadelphia in the afternoon and three-quarters of a million people in Washington, D.C., that evening. We played for 1.5 million people in one day—that showed us very profoundly how much The Beach Boys’ music has meant to so many people over the years,” said Love. The Beach Boys will play to a fraction of that number Tuesday night at the Sun Valley Pavilion in the sparsely populated Wood River Valley. But Love promises the band will be no less enthusiastic about serving up its “Good Vibrations”—fivepart harmony influenced by the music of 1950s’ groups like The Four Freshmen and The Everly Brothers. Tuesday’s concert will celebrate 50 years of “Fun, Fun, Fun” as it revisits surfing songs like “Surfin’ USA” and “Catch a Wave,” car songs like “I Get Around,” and beautiful ballads like “Surfer Girl” and “God Only Knows.” The boys of summer will also interject a few lesser-known songs like “Going to the Beach,” which The Beach Boys recorded many years ago but never recorded. The band resurrected it from the archives when they were making “Made in California.” The band’s biggest selling single is “Kokomo.” “It’s easy to sing along to, although we have a lot of sing-along songs,” Love explained. “Plus, it was on the soundtrack in the movie ‘Cocktail,’ which sold really well. And it was featured on one of the most popular episodes of ‘Full House. ’” Love’s personal favorite might just be “Pisces Brothers,” which he wrote while studying Transcendental Meditation [TM] with the Maharishi in India in 1968. “It happened that I was
staying at the Maharishi’s place at the same time as the Beatles. George Harrison came downstairs and it turned out we both had birthdays close together, so I wrote that song. It’s really a sentimental, very heartfelt tribute to George Harrison, who was a cool guy who loved meditation, who sang ‘My Sweet Lord’ and who played the sitar as well as the guitar.” The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers started out as three brothers, a cousin and a school chum who sang harmonies that Brian Wilson had learned by dissecting the songs of The Four Freshmen and then overdubbed on a reel-to-reel tape recorder he was given for his 16th birthday Dennis Wilson drowned in 1983. Carl Wilson succumbed to lung cancer in 1998, and Brian Wilson gave up the rigors of the road to stay home and pen avant-garde songs characterized by complex chords, multiple suspensions, enharmonic modulations, psychedelia and synthpop. Love, who co-wrote several songs, including “Wild Honey” and “California Girls,” continues as lead singer. Ditto for Bruce Johnston, who joined the group in 1965 and penned the Grammy Award-winning “I Write the Songs.” The current configuration also includes drummer John Cowsill, the youngest member of The Cowsills, who recorded “Indian Lake” and “The Rain, the Park and Other Things.” Other band members include guitarist and falsetto vocalist Jeffrey Foskett, who recently rejoined the group after Love’s son Christian left to pursue a beach volleyball career; Canadian keyboard player Tim Bonhomme; bass player Brandon Kirsch; and lead guitarist Scott Totten, who played on Broadway for many years. “Scott dissects music,” said Love. “He’s very exacting, so he makes sure we’re doing a more accurate representation of our songs than ever.” Love concedes that it’s pretty amazing that “America’s Band,” as The Beach Boys are called, is still making the rounds when so many other 1960s’ bands are represented by tribute bands. He weathered the turmoil and substance abuse of other band members with TM. “That type of meditation allows you to transcend to a deeper level where the metabolism goes as deep as sleep,” Love said. “It T H E W E E K LY S U N •

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 3 FROM PICABO ANGLER
T
he early fall is upon us as daytime temperatures have set a course for the 70s. This means it is time to get serious about transition. The Mahogany Dun, Western Red Quill, October Caddis and Fall Baetis are about to start showing up. We may not see these insects this week, but you had better get them in your fly box. The hatch heard around the Valley this week is the Callibaetis. This speckle-winged mayfly has been setting the afternoon fishing on fire, when the wind allows. The slower parts of Silver Creek, mainly the float-tube sections, are the place to find the biggest numbers of this insect. Generally, the best part of this activity begins shortly after lunch. The Hopper fishing on the Creek is also getting better and better. When the wind picks up during the Callibaetis, don’t hang up the fly rod; just beef up your tippets and blind fish Hoppers into the wind chop and along the banks. Ants and Beetles remain a strong fly to fish on the Creek and, as the fall progresses, the Ants will become the dominant fly of the two. Every fall we see the Ant hatches pick up a lot of fish. The Ant fly can be a great choice when you are totally stumped. The Big Lost is continuing to fish very well this summer. The Trico and Baetis are still the mainstay below the dam and through the town of Mackay. The Upper Lost also continues to produce nice fish on small attractors. The Ant fly is deadly on the Upper Lost this time of year. The South Fork of the Boise has not been showing its true colors lately, with meager hatches of Pink Alberts. With the return of the sun, perhaps this hatch will pick back up. The river was given a good flush the past few weeks, and hopefully these increased flows will have moved some of the debris blocking the river channel in multiple places. Grouse hunters had a banner opening day. Lots of hunters reported shooting limits and the rest of the fall looks just as good. The flip side to this great hunting is the major lack of doves. There have been a few decent reports of good dove hunting, but they are spotty. Moving forward, hunters will be treated to more openers as chukar, Hun and sage grouse seasons are right around the corner! Happy fishing and hunting, everyone!

Remembering Cesar Chavez BY DICK DORWORTH
T
here is a new film out about and titled “Cesar Chavez.” I haven’t seen the film, though I probably will despite this review from Godfrey Cheshire: “ ‘Cesar Chavez’ regrettably gives us the historical man with all the rough edges sanded off, leaving a depiction that bears an uncomfortable resemblance to a plaster saint.” Like the rest of us, Chavez was neither saint nor made of plaster. He was flesh and blood and humanly flawed, but he contributed enormously to the wellbeing of humanity by both the results and the personal example of his activism. He is one of the great, if marginally recognized, American heroes. In my view, every community in America is well served by remembering Cesar Chavez, all the more meaningful in a community such as ours in which some 20 percent of the population and 30 percent of the students are Latino. Chavez’s personal example was in the nonviolent tradition of Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi and St. Francis of Assisi, each of whom left the world better than they found it, as did Chavez. Born in 1927 in Arizona, one of six children of Mexi-
can-American parents who spoke only Spanish at home, Chavez quit school before he was 15 to become a migrant farm worker so his mother wouldn’t have to work in the fields. His two years in the U.S. Navy during World War II he described as “the two worst years of my life.” After his military service,
workers’ wages, as well as living and working conditions. A vegan who believed in animal rights, Chavez undertook several fasts, one of them for 36 days, in the spirit of Catholic penance and Gandhi’s fasts to emphasize nonviolence. Among the many simple, obvious truisms that inspired Chavez and directed his actions was his awareness that violence does not enhance the wellbeing of humanity. For that alone he is worth remembering, and honoring as a person and example, not as plastic saint. One of my prize possessions is a letter dated July 26, 1974, from Chavez. It reads, “Dear Brother Dorworth” and was dictated to someone with the initials ns and signed by Cesar Chavez. He thanks me for an embarrassingly paltry sum I had donated to the UFW to help “the striking workers, who are always in need of food and clothing.” Few reading this, including me, know what it is to live with the daily fear and indignity of being in need of food and clothing. Chavez did, and he did something positive to change it. Remembering Cesar Chavez is a reminder that we each can do something positive to change that which needs changing. Si, se puede.
Like the rest of us, Chavez was neither saint nor made of plaster. He was flesh and blood.

Chavez married his high school sweetheart, with whom he had eight children, moved to San Jose, Calif., and supported his growing family as a migrant farm worker. In 1952, he left the fields and became an organizer for the Latino civil rights group Community Service Organization where, among other things, he was instrumental in getting Mexican-American citizens to register and vote. In 1962 he founded what eventually became the United Farm Workers (UFW) which, through strikes, boycotts and gaining public support through education, increased farm

It’s Harvest Time BY WENDELL CAYTON
I
t’s harvest time for the farmers and ranchers in our area. Hay is being cut and baled, barley threshed, fruit coming off the trees, and calves are being separated from mother cows. And, like their ranching brethren, our baby-boom generation is rapidly moving toward their harvest season as retirement looms. After years of work… it will soon be time to reap the benefit of dreams and savings. In my line of work, this gives rise to two popular questions posed by friends and clients: What do I need to do to get ready for retirement? Do I have enough? While the money part of the picture is important, it is not the whole picture. I encourage a more holistic approach by starting the discussion about retirement planning with a focus on a few basics. First, are your wills and durable powers of attorney up to date? At this stage in life our minds are better equipped to make decisions regarding disposition of our assets and care of our legacy, as well as care of ourselves, rather than later in life when our minds are clouded by age and illness. Next, decide where and
T H E W E E K LY S U N •
how you wish to live. The big four-bedroom home with an acre of lawn might be ideal for raising kids and dogs… but if the kids have left and the dog has been downsized, do you really want something that big to maintain? Not to mention, who will look after it when you want to take an extended trip? The ‘how’ has a lot to do with how you wish to spend your time. Continuing to work has its merits… perhaps not because you need the money (although some do), but more because working keeps one active, socially engaged, and provides a sense of continuing self-worth. Even if the kids have gone, unless you padlock the refrigerator and bar up the house, they have a habit of still showing up when they need help. Decide early in the plan how you will deal with them, before you become incapacitated by age. It is not a bad idea to let them know now, rather than dealing with it later. Building on the “where, how and kids’ ” issues, do an annual budget. I prefer to see this process started two or three years before the retirement date so we can track actual expenses and compare to your projected budget. I realize that no one likes to live by the constraints of a budget, but the
SEPTEMBER 3, 2014
alternative may be flipping burgers at ninety! First, total all fixed monthly income expected from company pensions, annuities in payment mode, Social Security and rental income. Subtract from this total all expenses, including ordinary living expenses, debt repayment, discretionary (travel, gifts, recreation), medical insurance, and taxes. And don’t forget the kids! The remaining balance is what you will need to cover from savings, retirement accounts and/or work. To test if you have enough savings or retirement accounts, multiply this balance by 25. For planning purposes, this implies a 4 percent income from capital without drawing down principle. If the resultant is less than you have, you are in good shape. If not, revisit your budget and adjust. The above steps represent an exercise in pre-retirement planning. As one moves closer to actual retirement, the plan should be reviewed and revised as necessary. Finally, let’s not forget the words of General Dwight D. Eisenhower: “In preparing for battle, I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.”

eaching self-control to a dog is much like having a child and teaching him/her not to pound their silverware on the table while waiting for dinner or run up and down the aisle at a restaurant disturbing the other
patrons. It can be very difficult to teach but, in the end, it is very influential in the success of your child in society and gaining friends. Teaching self-control could even mean whether your child finishes school and gets a job! It is exactly the same for dogs in their success with other dogs, with friends of ours and in their ability to not become the stray in the shelter. Dogs need to learn self-control, too. The modern jargon used by many trainers is “impulse control.” Impulse control, or
self-control, means a dog’s ability to resist constant out-of-control behaviors such as jumping on people, barking at everything, chasing cars, and so on. I see impulse, or self-control, as a dog’s ability to relax, be comfortable in any situation and defer to their owner’s direction. So many dogs are reeling in undirected energy that it can become anxiety. Not only does lack of self-control become a problem to live
with on an every-day basis, lack of self-control can lead to anxiety that, over time, becomes emotional distress for a dog. That may translate into separation anxiety or even aggression, particularly fear aggression. In our modern society, many of us want our dogs to enjoy freedom, running in joy and play times with other dogs. As such, the development of dog parks and doggie daycares has sprouted up and become a part of everyday life for many dogs and owners. While we owners have begun to rec-
ognize the imperativeness of exercise that the dog parks and daycare situations provide, we somewhere, along the line, may have lost the concept of a dog’s emotional stability through self-control, or learning obedience. AND, even more critical is that we have lost the joy that obedience or learning self-control brings to our relationship between us and our dogs! Compounding the illusive impulse control comes the lack of time many of us have to devote to obedience training. Many times, anxiety the dog feels from lack of self-control is overlooked until it becomes critical. Then, we want a quick fix or, as I call it, the Lassie Pill. We send our dogs out to be trained and returned to us as the angel dog we dreamed of. While this is indeed a good choice for many reasons and for many people, it may not address the RELATIONSHIP that develops between the owner and the dog when they work together as a team. The owner learns who their dog is, and the dog, in return, learns the comfort of direction and respect for his owner. Teaching your dog self-control can be so rewarding for both you and your dog. In the long run, it can save your dog’s life when he learns not to chase the squirrel across the street, and can save you the embarrassment when your dog doesn’t jump on your guest’s new white dress! It may even save your dog from freeform anxiety that can be seen as pacing, panting, drooling and reactive barking.

THE WAY I SEE IT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 up of two Shibas, YumYum and Radar, came next, with the promise of winning the 1000-mile race over difficult Alaska terrain. I snidely remarked that they would be lucky to make it to Saddle Road. It was way out of line on my part. Mea culpa goes out to the Wood River High School cheerleading squad who danced and cheered to silence. I said all they really needed for success was, perhaps, the addition of the Wood River High School Band, who refused to play for the third year in a row. Who do I think I am? To the Champagne wagon entry from the Champagne Mine north of Craters of the Moon, I extend my sincerest apologies for stating that they had crossed the continent twice, never riding a mile in sobriety. It was totally inappropriate on my part. I was in error. I apologize, also, to Dick Fosbury because I called his entry into politics the new “Fosbury Flop.” I was way out of line, Fos.

Things seemed to go south when I implored the Idaho Old-Time Fiddlers to turn up their amps so the crowd could hear them. I made a foolish statement, indeed, to one of the finest acoustical groups of their stature in Idaho. Please forgive me. I’m afraid I made an improper greeting when I tried to “make a move” on the rodeo queens of the Minidoka and Cassia County fairs. Again, what was I thinking? I also intimated that the Ketchum-Warm Springs Riding Club was formed in 1950 merely for the reason to drink alcohol at will at twilight. (How rude— sorry.) Finally, as the Big Hitch wagons passed by, I warned that all dogs that were unattended would be shot on sight, as well as their owners. (It was perhaps a bit harsh, now as I look back). To all, I would like to offer my condolences for my “Faux Spas” at this event. Perhaps the committee will give me another chance next year … or not. Nice talking to you.

Local Food For Thought Nutrition Education
Ketchum Talks Business

C
learly, our food system has become global, industrialized and an inextricable part of our federal government’s determination to “feed the world.” All of our public schools participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), which uses federal funds to “provide students a variety of healthy foods.” But can we trust our government’s motivations around school nutrition and nutrition education? The USDA’s Food and Nutrition Services bases its standards and requirements on “My Plate,” the food icon that replaced the Food Pyramid, and SMART (School Meals Are Redefining Trays) school meals. The focus is entirely at the individual level of nutrition—each child is expected to learn and understand nutrition only as it relates to herself/himself and what s/he chooses to eat. But nutrition is a science—a difficult and complex topic for most adults, let alone elementary students. The Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior includes in its definition of nutrition education that it “is delivered through multiple venues and involves activities at the individual, community, and policy levels.” Elementary kids still think at a systems level; they are and want to be part of a system. They identify with their families, their classmates, and their community. So to base nutrition education more completely in a community context could motivate kids to make healthier food choices. If I tell my 6- and 9-year-old boys to eat something “because it’s good for you,” they grumble and resist. Though they love my homemade salad dressing, they pick at their lettuce—unless it’s from our garden; then they honestly gobble it down and ask for more. Is it an innate connection to the earth? When I share that something was grown or prepared by a local friend—sometimes a classmate’s parent—their eyes light up. And they really seem to appreciate when something hasn’t been trucked from a distant distribution center, spewing exhaust into our atmosphere. An emphasis on the community, federal and global levels of food could offer our children powerfully motivating context and incentive to make different choices. If our goal is healthier kids, more stable behavior and higher achievement, we can reach this through a more holistic, community-centric food education model.

TOP: Jack Bariteau, who plans to break ground on a five-star hotel at Ketchum’s south end next spring, told those attending the Ketchum Business After Hours on Wednesday that the Local Option Tax that voters approved last year made it possible for him to compete with other resorts. “This is the most complicated, challenging project I’ve done in 35 years,” he added. Bariteau said that the hotel will provide 100 construction jobs for each of the next two years and 75 to 80 jobs when it opens. The average wage of those workers will be $55,000. Five stars means that everything’s included in the price, including Internet and minibar, he added in response to a question from the audience.

other country has invested so much in its educational system?! What other country believes in its children, as we do?!” Abraham Lincoln once said that the philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next, she noted. “Doesn’t that make you feel powerful? We’re shaping the future,” she said. Holmes showed a picture of her forbearers—Adolph and Alina Harms. They never went beyond eighth and third grades in their Mennonite community. But they continued to learn and they stressed the value of education to their children and grandchildren. By doing that they im-

One is a school nurse who saved the life of one of the children she treated. One is a hydrologist in New Mexico; another, a nuclear scientist seeking a cure for cancer. One directs a homeless shelter, one is an architect and she, of course, is a school superintendent. “They’re all contributing—my siblings, my cousins and myself,” she said. “The greatest gift of America is the American education system. And Blaine County is giving the gift of education to American children.” tws

Noxious Weed Crew Says Thanks
W
ell, we’ve just about come to the end of weed season. We want to thank you for following along each week as we’ve presented information about noxious weeds and how we can all work together to manage them. We also want to thank the Blaine County Bug Crew for writing several very informative articles about the use of bio-control in our county. There is still some spraying to be done, bugs to be released, and time for goats to munch on plants, but we’re already thinking about next season and how we can best help property owners manage noxious weeds. The best tool of all is prevention and here are a few tips to be thinking about for the rest of this season and on into next year: • • •

for research labs and other programs. “Teaching does not produce productivity gains,” Firstenberg said. “Add to this inefficient use of facilities and a conviction that continual upgrading of resources is the primary need and you have the prime causes of inflation.” Online education is something that might break the spiraling cost cycle since it doesn’t require facilities. But educators don’t know yet if it will be an effective way of dispensing an education, Firstenberg said. “I, for one, can’t imagine not having face-to-face contacts,” Firstenberg said. “We can’t lose that one moment that changes your whole outlook.” The lecture is sponsored by the College of Southern Idaho. tws

any people ask me what it takes for a movie to garner four bumblebees. Look no further than Richard Linklater’s stunning new masterpiece, “Boyhood”, now playing at the Magic Lantern Cinemas. Audacious and supremely ambitious, the film is far and away the best of this or any other year. You may be put off by the three-hour running time but it hardly feels like half an hour and I have never been so anxious to see a film again and again. The plot is simple: a boy
grows up. But its construction and execution is unique. Linklater, the director of the cult classic Dazed and Confused and the Before Sunrise trilogy, has followed a boy, Ellar Coltrane, from the age of 6 to 18—filming for four days every year for 12 years, all from a phenomenal script written by Linklater. Most often compared to the documentary “Seven Up” by Michael Apted, the fictionalized Boyhood stands alone as a singular achievement. Credit must be given to Jonathan Sehring of IFC Films for bankrolling such a dangerous project and having faith in Coltrane, who turns in a transcendent

performance. Three other performances grace the film: Ethan Hawke in his finest work to date as the missing dad; Patricia Arquette as the put-upon mom dealing with work and men; and Lorelei Linklater (the director’s daughter) as the sometimes obnoxious older sister. All are brilliant, and watching them gradually age is hypnotic. But Coltrane is the center and anything could have happened over the course of the 12 years of filming. People have asked me, Is he very charismatic? and the answer is no. He’s just real in a movie that’s as real as real can get. Don’t miss it. tws

Conservatory To Open Doors In Ketchum
A new conservatory and training center for those interested in studying the performing arts will open this fall in Ketchum. The Spot—which will offer acting, music and dance classes—will hold an open house on Saturday, September 6, from 5-7 p.m. at the studio, located at 220 Lewis Street #2. The studio’s classes will begin on Tuesday, September 9. “The Spot aims to cultivate a progressive exchange of ideas between young artists that will stimulate artistic growth and fulfillment,” states a recent news release from the studio. “We believe in a creative and safe hands-on learning environment where dedicated performing arts students can take big risks. The goal is to facilitate the growth of passionate, engaged performers with an eye toward what this world needs from its emerging artists.” The Spot’s faculty includes Peter Burke, Kevin Wade, Brett Moellenberg, Yanna Lantz, Connor Wade and Izzy Taylor. For more information, visit spotsunvalley.com.
Kiwanis To Hold Ribbon-Cutting For Playground
The Kiwanis Club of Hailey and the Wood River Valley will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for about $22,500 worth of playground equipment recently purchased by the club and installed at Deerfield Park in Hailey. The ceremony will take place on Tuesday, September 9 from 5-7 p.m. at the park, located in Deerfield Subdivision in East Hailey (accessible from Eastridge Drive or Chestnut Street). The club will serve light refreshments. “It’s been a real community, Kiwanis Club and city effort,” said Jim Spinelli, Kiwanis International governor for the states of Idaho and Utah and former president of Kiwanis Club of Hailey and the Wood River Valley. “Without the three partners, this would not have come about. Also, we have multiple donors who we will name at the park.”
Hailey Firefighters Say Thanks
The Hailey Fire Department and Hailey Volunteer Firefighters Association have extended a thank-you for the department’s and organization’s fundraiser last week at The Wicked Spud in Hailey. “We would like to thank Mike Broman from The Wicked Spud and Sherri and Mitzi for selecting our organization for last Wednesday’s ‘Wicked Wednesday,’ ” states a recent news release from the department. “With your support and all of the great donations, including a custom-painted fire helmet by John Blackman, we raised nearly $1,500! All the funds raised stay here in town to go back into the community. Lastly, but most importantly, we want to thank you, the community, for your tremendous ongoing support.” ANSWER TO SUDOKU FROM PAGE 9
