Fishing In The Rain

Where The Art Is

BY JOHN HUBER

n order to stop it from raining so much, it will be necessary to write about fishing in the rain. Once you have circled your wagons, read this, and then prepared for fishing in the rain, you can be sure, dear angler, that it will stop and we will return to glorious, sunny fall weather! So, the old adage, “Is fishing better in the rain?” must be addressed. The answer is a definitive yes—and no. We’ll look at both sides in regards to Silver Creek.

Yes, the fishing is better because no one else is doing it! You can have the whole Creek to yourself—just as long as no one else reads this today and then gets the same idea that they can have the whole Creek to themselves.

‘The Big Burn’ A map for today?

ew York Times columnist Tim Egan took note when he saw the T-shirt that appeared after the 1989 San Francisco earthquake rudely interrupted a World Series game between the San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics. The T-shirt said: “Nature Bats Last.”

6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. His lecture—part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ current multidisciplinary project, “Forests, Foraging and Fires”—launches The Center’s 2014-2015 lecture series. It was his childhood memories spending summers in Idaho looking up to yellow-shirted firefighters who swapped stories about

majestic 10,299-foot peak overlooking Redfish Lake is named even though he opposed Gifford Pinchot’s call for national forests. “The Big Burn was just this fantastic story about the first time we ever tried to fight a wildfire,” Egan said. “There was a bunch of immigrants—Italians, Irish, Greeks, even African-American Buffalo soldiers—who came together and tried to do something that we have never done before.” Historic droughts, beetlekill and fire suppression have left Western forests tinder dry and vulnerable, Egan said: “Coupled with climate change, Westerners will see bigger, longer, hotter, more frequent fires and longer fire seasons— that’s just something all of

us who live out in the West have to prepare for.” Egan’s latest book, “Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher,” focuses on Western photographer Edward Curtis, who took 40,000 photographs, recorded 10,000 songs and documented 75 languages, as well as rituals and religious stories, of American Indians. “I wanted to find out how one man with a sixth-grade education pulled off the greatest achievement in all of history,” said Egan, who is currently writing about the Irish who came to escape the potato famine. “He took crazy physical risks that almost cost him his life several times as he lugged hundreds of pounds of glass-plate negatives, wax-cylinder audio record-

ings, food and personal gear by wagon and horse. But he was driven to prove that most of what Americans thought they knew about Indians was wrong.”

Author Tim Egan notes that Washington had its biggest fire ever this summer—250,000 acres—but it was dwarfed by the 3-million-acre Big Burn. He’s worried, though: “California is just entering its wildfire season and I’m afraid they are going to have catastrophic fires this year because they have had their worst drought ever.” Courtesy photo

That sentiment turned out to be the theme running through his book, “The Big Burn,” the story of the 1910 fire that overwhelmed firefighters as it burned 3 million acres across northern Idaho, Washington and Montana in a couple of days. And it remains relevant today as the West grapples with conflagrations like the 2013 Beaver Creek Fire, which threatened the towns of Hailey and Ketchum, and California fights the King Fire calculated to be larger than Las Vegas, Atlanta or Philadelphia. “ ‘The Big Burn’ is particular to Idaho because most of the fire was in Idaho” said Egan in an interview. “It came at a time when people were starting to think, ‘We can outfox nature.’ ‘We can control fire.’ And then the fire came along and turned the Forest Service into the Fire Service. Now, we see so many things that happened 104 years ago being pertinent today.” Egan will talk about what we learned and didn’t learn from The Big Burn at

the big ones that prompted the Seattle-born Egan to begin researching “The Big Burn.” The Big Burn left a good paper trail, Egan said. Forest Service supervisors in Missoula and Sandpoint had done exhaustive investigations. The national press covered the fire. Teddy Roosevelt, a prolific diarist and writer of 150,000 letters, had plenty say on the subject. And rangers in the Clearwater and other districts kept personal histories describing what it was like as a lone ranger patrolling a quarter-million acres in the early days of the Forest Service. “I also walked much of the land, including the trail that firefighter Ed Pulaski took to lead his men to safety in a mineshaft,” Egan said. Egan not only chronicled the events but wove a rich tapestry of characters through his narrative. They included Teddy Roosevelt, who seized on the fire to create the idea of public land as our national treasure. And Idaho Sen. Weldon Heyburn, for whom the

Geri Herbert. “When John and I moved to our new home, we had more windows and less wall space. So we donated some of our art to a hospital,” she said. “We can still visit the art we love. And there are lots of places that would love to have donated art, including senior centers and schools.”

Looking through the lens

L’Anne Gilman has ripped up a photograph worth $50,000. “Photographer Nick Brandt had me rip up the image because he had figured out a way to print it just a little better,” she said. Gilman recounted the story for nearly 50 people who attend a Thursday night lecture on photography at Gilman Contemporary. Gilman, a collector of photographs, said that photos date back to 1826. But it wasn’t until the late 1980s when photographs began taking their place alongside paintings in galleries. In 2011 Andreas Gursky’s digitally enhanced 3-meter-wide photograph of the Rhine River—sans the dog walkers and factory building that were in the original shot—was auctioned for $4.3 million. Artists are always changing to the newest method, noted Sun Valley artist

people into a love affair with the arts, during three lectures sponsored by the Wood River Valley Studio Tour. Nationally renowned artist Judith Kindler told those at Tuesday’s discussion at Gail Severn Gallery that collecting art can be transformational, opening up another world. Even artists should collect art, just like writers read books—to get insight into their pieces, added Roberson. “Collecting art is an opportunity to dig in. You just have to find what you want to dig into,” said Kristin Poole, artistic director for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. Trying to collect according to a list of who’s hot and who’s not is like trying to keep up with a moving target, said gallery owner Gail Severn. Some of the strongest collections are held by those who figure out what they’re attracted to and set parameters. One person might focus on women artists of the West; another, on women in a certain time period. “Then there’s people like me—I’m all over the place. I love photography, historical ceramics…” she said. Severn told the story of one man who collected his works at thrift stores. He never spent more than $60 on any single piece but he amassed a collection so noteworthy that it has been featured in museums. “I’m always surprised how people think that something’s not a collection if it doesn’t have a lot of monetary value,” she said. “Collecting for most of us is less a monetary issue and more what we’re passionate about. I love ceramics. When I found some pieces were out of reach, I found African ceramics had been totally overlooked.” An important part of collecting is earmarking where it should go after you’re gone, noted Ketchum art collector T H E W E E K LY S U N •

Judith Kindler, who began integrating photos with other art forms two years after Photoshop came out. Nature photographer Tom Mangelsen has said that purist photography should not be manipulated. But those who criticize digital altering need to remember that even Ansel Adams burned things in the darkroom, said Gilman. What makes a photograph fine art? Your love for it, said Gilman. “I bought a photograph that has no value to the world, but it has so much value to me,” she said. “That’s fine art.” tws

Local Economic Summit Scheduled BY KAREN BOSSICK

he Oct. 8 Economic Summit in Sun Valley is making a subtle shift from the concept of quality of place and sustainability of the community to resilience, said Sun Valley

Economic Development Executive Director Harry Griffith. To that end, the keynote speaker will be Mayor Bob Dixson, who shepherded his town of Greensburg, Kan., through the devastation of an EF-5 tornado, which leveled the town in 2007 and left nearly all of its 1,383 citizens without a home.

“Some people think resilience is the same as sustainability, but the more you study the issue, the more you realize that resilience is a different thing,” said Griffith in an interview. The conference—the third annual Economic Summit— will feature local stories demonstrating resilience, as well as stories from com-

Voted “Best Asian Cuisine”

munities across the country that found ways to move aggressively into a more resilient space. Mayor Dixon didn’t have the luxury of taking his time to act, Griffith noted in an interview. He was forced by events to adapt a series of resilient platforms quickly. “Our opportunity here is to find ways to achieve resilience in pieces,” he said. “Do it incrementally, do it piecemeal, but do it steadily and keep improving and increasing the community’s resilience over time so we don’t get caught by the next disaster.” Organizers hope business people and others will be spurred by what they learn at the conference to make changes now that will make a difference when the next crisis occurs, whether it’s

economic, natural or even personal, Griffith said. “Hopefully everyone will go away with one or two practical ideas,” he said. “A homeowner might go away saying, ‘I really should do a Firewise audit.’ Maybe some community leaders will go away saying, ‘We need to consider more practical mechanisms for dealing with emerging and growing water shortages.’ ” Registration for the allday conference at the Sun Valley Inn is limited to 300 and is running ahead of last year, Griffith said. “If you want to attend, you’d better sign up now,” he added. Registration costs $60 and includes breakfast and lunch. To register go to http://www.sunvalleyeconomy.org/summit.

New Community Alert System Launched

Blaine County has announced the launch of a new Community Alert System, powered by FirstCall. The system will be used to notify residents about immediate threats to health or safety emergencies such as severe weather, evacuations, floods, fires, or critical police or fire activity. The new alert system allows residents to receive emergency information by telephone, cell phone, text messaging (SMS), email and TTY/TTD devices. Residents can choose to receive these messages via one or all of these communication methods. Officials recommend that users select several different methods in the event a particular communication device is unavailable. Emergency information may also be provided to the public through Blaine County’s Twitter/Facebook feeds. Within seconds of launching a community alert, area residents will be notified of the emergency at hand with a message or emergency instructions. Residents with caller ID on their phones should take note that 208-578-4464 is the Community Alert System phone number. Officials recommend users put this number in their contacts under Community Alert so that they do not miss important calls. If recipients of a call want to hear the message again, they can redial the number and the message will be repeated for them. Residents and businesses with listed landline telephone numbers are automatically included in the Community Alert System database. Residents with cell phones are encouraged to sign up. Those who have registered with Blaine County’s previous alert system can update their contact information by clicking on the profile management link, entering their email address, and then clicking “forgot my password.” A new automated password will be sent to the email on file. All information provided will be kept strictly confidential. The Community Alert System is not intended to be the sole source of information for emergency alerts and should not be relied upon exclusively as Blaine County officials cannot guarantee that every person will receive an alert. Officials encourage everyone to register before an emergency exists. A Countywide test of the system is planned for October 1st at 1 p.m. To register by phone, call the registration line at 866-4843264. To register online, visit https://alertregistration.com/ BlaineCOID/. The registration link can also be found on the new Blaine County Local Emergency Committee’s (LEPC) website at www.blaineemergency.org, on Blaine County Emergency Communications website at www.blainecounty911.org or on Blaine County’s website at www.blainecounty.org.

‘Hello, Dolly!’ Tickets Go On Sale

New Syringa School Follows A Low-Tech Path STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

curiosity and to develop students who are both critical thinkers and compassionate. There are more than a thousand Waldorf schools in 60 countries. About 60 of the 200 Waldorf schools in the United States have gone public in the last 10 years.

L.C. Dahl holds apple in mouth as dumps others in apple cider press.

Instead, you’ll find fifthgrade teacher Kate McKenzie pointing to the clipper ship she’s drawn on the chalkboard at the front of the classroom and acting out the role of an indentured servant as she tells students a story describing how those who populated America’s Jamestown Colony were grabbed off the streets of England, thrown in a boat and taken to a mosquito-infested swamp where they encountered starvation, disease and conflicts with Native Americans. Some were poor. Some were craftsmen, she tells them. One—John Smith—was a nobody in the Old World but emerged a leader in the New World. “This is going to live in them as a story and image they won’t forget,” she tells a reporter when finished. “They will have a reservoir of experience that’s alive.” Syringa Mountain School, which opened in September, is Idaho’s first public

The idea: To cultivate head, heart and hand, to stoke the imagination and

And the Syringa school is helping to launch another public Waldorf school in Boise. The Wood River Valley’s Waldorf school meets in a 17,600-square-foot building near Power Engineers on Glenbrook Drive. Architect Jolyon Sawrey converted the former warehouse, which used to house a car collector’s autos, into a school with classrooms, music room and common area. Parents donated furniture and painted classroom walls to look like blue sky with billowy clouds. And they built a playground on a former field of knapweed that the school is leasing from the city of Hailey for $1 per year. Come recess, students play in an amphitheater with seats made of tree trunks. They swing from a large wooden swing, trot across a bridge and test their balance on giant wooden spools. Students hope to harvest the lettuce, spinach, kale and chard they planted in the garden for their Thanksgiving feast. Eventually, they hope to pick apples from a couple dozen fruit trees slated to be planted. The school, which is equipped to hold 155 students, has 135 students— some from Shoshone and Fairfield. There is vacant space on the second floor that will be converted to classrooms over the next few years as this year’s fifth-graders graduate to sixth, seventh and eighth grades. “We hope someday to have an urban agriculture on the roof deck. And maybe a weather station,” says Mary Gervase, the school’s director and former assistant school superintendent for the Blaine County School District.

School. Teachers greet each child at the door of their classrooms, searching their faces to see if a student is struggling with something that needs to be addressed. The initial moments are spent warming up. First-graders rap out multiplication tables with rhythm sticks and pattycake. Second-graders recite tongue-twisters involving Mary Multiply, Tammy Times, Peter Plus and Mandy Minus. The activities reinforce what they’re learning and strengthen hand-eye coordination and other motor skills, says Gervase. Nancy Harakay introduces students to Spanish by speaking only in that language while using hand signals to help them figure out what she’s saying. The fifth-graders build an Indian tipi and carve petroglyphs as they learn about Native Americans, while fourth-graders learning Idaho history avail themselves of old washtubs, lace-up boots, wash basins and wooden skis. Without textbooks, which lend themselves to passive learning, the students are actively engaged in learning to research things for themselves, says Gervase. “The emphasis is on low tech, especially in the early grades, because we want to challenge our teachers to make the lessons as engaging as possible,” she adds.

Third-grader Conagher Kane shows off the belt he is fingerknitting.

“We want to infuse in the children a rich tradition of language and stories through storytelling, puppetry, poetry and singing so they’ll love to read and learn. That said, we do start teaching computer in third grade because the state testing is done on computer.”

Stitching together perseverance

Afternoon is given to music, drama, handicrafts and farm activities designed to instill a reverence for the environment. The fifth-graders press the apples they gleaned the day before into juice. They express their gratitude by

singing the “Johnny Appleseed” song before tasting the sweet cold drink. Erin Mungall introduces the younger children to the recorder, then turns around and introduces the older children to the violin, showing them how to draw a scale and come up with names to help them remember each musical note. “Singing is such a wonderful way to build community because you need one another when you sing as a group,” she says, as she begins to lead them in threepart harmony.

un Valley’s latest scholarship program has aspirations as high as the mountains, literally. The Kid’s Mountain Fund makes its debut this year as one of the only scholarship foundations aimed solely at “celebrating mountain culture,” as Director Kaz Thea explained in an interview with The Weekly Sun. The foundation, which was born after the Sun Valley Company took over Freeride, a nonprofit organization designed to help kids improve their all-mountain, all-terrain skiing. Thea and her team had this surplus of money, raised from private donors and special grants, and saw a need in the community for a scholarship program that could run all year long and focus on many different aspects of mountain sports, not just skiing. The Mountain Fund’s rolling deadlines for scholarship applications make it more accessible to children and parents as the program gains attention. These spaced-out deadlines also ensure that the program can provide support through every season. The first scholarship deadline is October 1, 2014, and Thea says the program has already started to see results and expects to see the number of applications grow as children and parents start to hear more about it. To apply, each child and parent must submit an essay approximately a page in length detailing what this scholarship could do for them. “We want to see passion in the essay, to see how the child thinks they will grow from this opportunity,” says Thea. The expected average scholarship will

be around $350 per person, but could vary based on the cost and length of the activity, the thoughtfulness of the essay, and the financial need of the family. For example, ski team is going to be a much higher cost than, say, a weeklong rafting trip, but both will be getting attention from The Mountain Fund. “We realized there’s a diversity of activity programs out there, not just skiing, and we wanted to be able to support all of them, making these scholarships accessible to more children,” Thea explains. “There are so many kids in this Valley that should be taking advantage of these amazing programs and we want to help.” To find out how to apply, children and parents can visit The Mountain Fund’s website at kidsmountainfund.org to find the scholarship application, as well as to see the list of board members who will be evaluating each application. If all goes well and The Fund has a successful year, their goal is to host a yearly fundraiser to keep the scholarships going and to ensure that kids are making the most of the beautiful mountain town they live in.

SCHOLARSHIP DEADLINES

October 14, January 15 and May 15 According to the website, “Each application will be reviewed by the Board and the applicant will be notified within 30 days.

Dreams In The Making HELP THE DREAM

Volunteers are encouraged to offer their services at any time, and there is no deadline for volunteers to the tutoring/mentoring program. Those interested in participating should call program coordinator Devan Annan at 208450-9466 or visit the foundation’s affiliate website ihaveadreamfoundationidaho.com.

ho would not wish to be known by the distinction: dreamer? To be a dreamer is to answer the call of aspiration, to be among those who strive for that next horizon. The literary figure Peter Pan epitomized the power of dreaming in the imaginations of countless readers. John Lennon touched the hearts of millions by composing the dreamer’s anthem, and human rights advocate, Dr. Martin Luther King, immortalized what it was to be a dreamer with the words of his timeless address. In 1986, it was the latter who fueled Eugene Lang’s inspiration when he named his newly formed foundation. The aim of the ‘I Have a Dream Foundation’ was simple: aid our children in accomplishing their dreams. What had began as a pledge to a sixth-grade classroom packed with pupils is today a growing initiative of support for students willing to pursue their dreams. The ‘I Have a Dream Foundation’ furthers and expands upon Lang’s goal “to better the academic and life trajectories of students” far and wide. Today, the foundation has a presence in 29 states, the federal capital, and even New Zealand. But though the organization’s scope may have broadened, its core principles remain localized. In the Wood River Valley, volunteers give their time assisting the academic and social progress of their area’s youth. Program coordinator Devan E. Annan states that the ‘I Have a Dream Foundation of Idaho’ has proudly begun its second year and has a “community goal of providing the same volunteer to work alongside a group of students on a weekly basis.” Annan believes this “promotes bonding and trust” between volunteers and students. Data from the previous academic year indicates students who received tutoring

and/or mentoring from foundation volunteers displayed an average increase of 15 percent in reading scores as well as an average 14 percent increase in mathematics. In the current year, community volunteers are committed to guiding the academic careers of 50 area fifth-graders. The immediate goal: to see those students graduate high school. Annan explains “The future goal is to form relationships with the students through the commitment of this year-long program.” Ultimately, the aim is for those students to realize the benefits of an advanced education. When those dreamers reach the college level, the ‘I Have a Dream Foundation’ has pledged financial assistance towards two years of

In order to attain that post-secondary education, our area fifth-graders need tutors and mentors now. Annan looks to our community for volunteers to take part in an after-school program which will fill those roles. Starting on October 6th, volunteers will meet in Hailey at Alturas Elementary (formerly Woodside Elementary) to assist in tutoring and mentoring students there from 2:30 until 4, Monday and Wednesday afternoons. With your help these students can achieve their dreams and the ‘I Have a Dream Foundation’ can progress toward its future national goal of doubling the number of dreamers on the path to college at any given time. tws

Firefighters Save Urn, Pet From Blaze BY BRENNAN REGO

ven the worst tragedies can lead to moments of truly inspirational heroism. Earlier this week, a house fire in Hailey displaced four residents from their home and consumed nearly all of their belongings. However, a couple local firefighters who braved the blaze managed to save a few of the victims’ most precious and irreplaceable items, including one pet. Just after 1 a.m. on Monday morning, residents of 209 First Avenue in Hailey reported a structure fire in the dwelling. “The fire started smoldering probably the night before,” said Danielle Edelman, one of the structure’s residents and also a volunteer firefighter and emergency medical responder with the Hailey Fire Department.

According to Edelman, the fire was likely caused by the overheating of old insulation near the chimney of a wood stove in the residence. “We’d started a small fire in the wood stove cause it

was chilly,” she said. “The house is really old. The insulation was a mix of sawdust and newspaper, something they used way back in the day. That kind of insulation burns. That’s

Though a structure fire claimed a residence at 209 First Avenue in Hailey this week, no residents were injured and firefighters managed to save some truly irreplaceable items. Courtesy photo

what it does. It’s not like the insulation we use nowadays that’s meant to resist heat a bit. Once it caught, that was the end of it.” Edelman lived in the residence with her boyfriend Todd Emerick, son Oliver Buchanan and friend Ron Frey. Frey alerted the others to the fire at about 1 a.m., Edelman said. She then called 911 to report the blaze. At that point, the flames were already breaching through the drywall, she said. The four residents exited the structure safely and alerted the neighbors, Edelman said. However, a few important items remained inside. “When we were evacuating, we got my son out, the dogs out, and we didn’t have time to grab the mouse cage,” she said. “Oliver [who is seven] kept asking if Ralph [the mouse] made it out. I didn’t know how I was going to explain it to him.” When emergency responders arrived to the scene (from Bellevue, Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley Fire Departments and Wood River Fire & Rescue) and entered the structure to fight blaze, Hailey firefighter Casey Ward saw the mouse cage, grabbed it and brought it out, Edelman said. “Oliver is very happy about that,” she said, adding that Ralph did not seem to suffer any adverse health effects from the smoke and is back to his regular routine of eating “too many” cookies. However, saving Ralph’s life wasn’t the only rescue the firefighters managed that day. “The only thing I couldn’t replace [in the house] were my son’s ashes,” Edelman

said. “I told one of the officers there about the ashes even though I didn’t think [the firefighters] could go back in there, but I said, ‘If you can, this is where they’ll be.’ “ A few minutes later, Ketchum firefighter David O’Donnell handed Edelman an invaluable and relatively unscathed, though very “dirty,” package. Emergency responders had gone back in to retrieve the urn that contains Edelman’s son Maxwell’s ashes. Maxwell was born in 2004 and passed away unexpectedly in 2006, she said. “I brushed [the package] off and it happened to be the small urn that my son’s ashes are in,” she said. “It was completely undamaged. That was huge. I didn’t think I’d see him again.” The package with Maxwell’s urn also contained a box with another set of ashes—those of Danku, Edelman’s longtime dog who died last summer. “Somehow it had survived. Well, half of it,” she said. “We still have his memories and his collar, and now we still have his ashes.” tws

FUNDS SUPPORT FIRE VICTIMS

Several funds in the valley have helped support Edelman and the other victims of the fire following the incident, including the Hailey Firefighters Burnout Fund and an impromptu collection for the victims by the Hailey Elementary School.

letter to the editor

Thanks For Giving & Caring Dear Hailey Residents and Businesses,

Please accept this as a letter of thanks for all your support and contributions for the Hailey Fire Department and, more importantly, the families who lost their homes and contents in the fire of September 22, 2014. Two of the three residents lost almost all of their personal possessions and, thankfully, one of the units was just about untouched, but unable to be occupied at the time. Immediately after the fire, the Hailey Volunteer Firefighter’s Association secured two nights’ hotel accommodations for all those who were affected and the fire department also contacted the American Red Cross and Salvation Army. Between the fire department’s “Burnout Fund,” the Red Cross and Salvation Army, a total of eight nights were provided to all those affected without any cost to them. In addition, the Red Cross provided immediate

funds for food and basic necessities, including eyeglass replacement. The Hailey library has been conducting a clothing drive for all the occupants, and a contribution drive has been set up at Hailey Elementary by the student body. In the coming weeks, the Hailey Fire Department will be sponsoring a fundraiser for our “Burnout” fund where 100 percent of that fund goes toward families who have been faced with a fire or other emergency in our community. Special thanks also goes to all the fire departments in the Wood River Valley for their support and contributions for our firefighter, who was one of the residents who lost her home and possessions. Unfortunately, it’s events such as this that show what a great giving and caring community we live in. Craig Aberbach, Hailey Fire Chief

National Geographic Photographer To Conduct Workshop Next Week BY KAREN BOSSICK

ational Geographic photographer Jonathan Kingston will conduct a Travel Photography Workshop Oct. 9 through 12 in Sun Valley, along with former National Geographic Traveler magazine photo editor Krista Rossow. There are a few spots remaining, said Katie Kerr, an employee of Ketchum’s Haute Wrap, which will serve as headquarters for the workshop. The “On Assignment: Sun Valley” workshop will focus on travel photography and learning how to go beyond showing what a place looks like to capturing what it feels like. Participants will pick a specific angle to develop during the workshop and will shoot on location, around town and in the

hills surrounding town during the Trailing of the Sheep Festival. They will discuss how to research and plan for shoots, what art directors are looking for in images and how to get the best shots while on location. They will also go out into the backcountry to capture pictures of the sheep. Kingston will discuss technical aspects of photography on using Lightroom as an editing tool to manage and sort files. And he and Rossow will offer one-on-one edit and critique sessions. The workshop will culminate with a collection of photographs shot by each participant. Cost is $850; enrollment is limited to 16. Information: jonathankingston.com. Kerr said Kingston, who lives in Bend, Ore., has been coming to the Valley for years and has

offered workshops teaching new techniques and other aspects of photography for local photographers in the past. A specialist in cultures, underwater and adventure photography, Kingston began his career as a photo educator teaching young photographers at Light & Life Academy, India’s first school devoted to image-making. Kingston has done other such workshops this year in Alaska, British Columbia and Molokai, Hawaii. “He’s the real deal so it’s exciting to have this,” Kerr added. The workshop is not affiliated with the Trailing of the Sheep Festival, even though it was timed to coincide with it, said Festival Director Mary Austin Crofts. “But we hope they might give us some of their pictures,” she added.

out, and all one can do is fish the Blue-Winged Olive that keeps turning on and off. Yes, the fishing is better because the water is cooler and the flows are coming up. During hot summer days, cooling water can trigger fish to awaken and be more predatory as conditions become “just right” for them. Generally, the more uncomfortable we are, the more comfortable they are. No, the fishing is not better because it is cold and damp and hard to concentrate all one’s attention on fishing. Things like feeling your fingers and toes become important. Little things like water dripping down the back of your neck and under your shirt and jacket need your attention. Silver Creek normally needs all your attention. These “other” issues are just more things to put in your bonnet—that is obviously not keeping you dry! Yes, the fishing is better because the BIG brown trout come out from under the banks when the weather is crappy. That means they are legitimate targets for anglers with streamers, mice and big terrestrial flies.

No, the fishing is not better because anglers are reduced to nymphing and streamer fishing part of the day—and, after all, it is fall and dry-fly season! We are

Creek to yourself—just as long as no one else reads this today and then gets the same idea that they can have the whole Creek to themselves. But then you will be there, and I guess I may be there as well … so never mind. No, the fishing is not better because this guy wrote something in the paper about how when it rains you can have the Creek to yourself and apparently the next time it rained more people came than on the last four sunny weekends combined. Yes, the fishing is better because we are out there doing it. It is always better than TV and work; it is always better than standing in the coffee shop wishing and thinking we were doing it. It is always better because the peace of mind we receive while doing it is just as golden to us in the rain as it is in the sun.

Shep, Forever Faithful BY TONY TAYLOR

Some people describe border collies as “four legs and hair with an attitude.” Those interested in watching such sheepherding dogs show off their skills should attend the 2014 Trailing of the Sheep Festival Championship Sheepdog Trials on October 11 and 12 from dawn to dusk at Quigley Canyon Fields in Hailey.

t is a mantra: “With the wind at your back, you can’t drive sheep downhill on a windy day.” There are, however, two exceptions to this otherwise unbreakable rule. These exceptions came from Rome to England and then to America, bringing with them a steadfast work ethic and a cheap-shot instinct that dreams of open flanks and the dusty confusion of unprotected heels. They have four legs and hair and come with an attitude. Great poets (Robert “Bobby” Burns) speak of them with reverence, and stockmen the world over consider them to be the two exceptions to all the rules. We’re talking a mama border collie with her homeschooled son or daughter They say this combo could drive a cow up a tree with a bear in it. I say this is overspeak but accurate witness to how much the owners love their dogs. This devotion is reciprocal and the bond between a working dog and his master is legendary. The bond grows over long days of bunching confused mutton, and for the life of the dog not a day goes by without his sheep and his master—no sick days, no rain venues, and for certain no holidays. Scraps from the herder’s stew pot mixed with kibble and an occasional pat will make the 24hour day special. We love our dogs in the Wood River Valley, and they love us. No better story than Shep can portray this, and no better time of year to tell it than when the aspens scatter their leaves on the Trailing of the Sheep Festival. Shep wasn’t his real name

but everybody called him that because no one knew the herder who got sick that summer and, after three days, died in the St. Clare Hospital. Shep camped near the front door of the Fort Benton, Montana, infirmary, waiting. His three-day vigil without food and little water was finally noticed by a kind-hearted nun who understood the connection. She fed the dog some kitchen scraps and left a bowl of water. When the herder finally came out the front door, he was “toes up” on a gurney. The body was placed in a casket and brought to the train station to be shipped east for grieving relatives. When the baggage car door closed, attendants on the platform noticed the dog and heard his whine. Shep watched the train gain speed until it disappeared into the infinity of railroad track and sky. The stationmaster saw him abandon the platform and head east, trotting down the rails in the August heat shimmer. When the evening west-bound pulled into the station, Shep appeared at the end of the dock in the waning twilight. He was aloof but watchful and studied every passenger that got off the train. He never missed an arrival for the rest of his life. Four times a day, despite the baking and freezing of the seasons and the relentless winds of the Northern Plains, he kept his vigil. After five years, deaf and arthritic, he didn’t see the 10:17 in time. He couldn’t scramble off the tracks quick enough. The long watch was ended. In memorial, his bronze statue near the station reads: SHEP Forever Faithful. tws

Ciceley Peavey Medicine Woman

iceley Peavey, a Carey resident and senior at Wood River High School, has her eyes set on the medical field. Last year Peavey became a certified nursing assistant as a first step toward that end. “My passion is really to work with people and to help people,” she said. “It gives me a feeling of satisfaction that is unmatched.” Peavey’s goals have been furthered by attending Wood River High, where she started med tech classes her sophomore year. “We covered basic CPR and first-aid and learned all the terminology,” she said. “It was great but I really prefer a hands-on experience.” That came during the certification process for nursing assistant. “We had classroom time, but we also put in hours in the emergency room and at the SafeHaven nursing home in Hailey,” she said. “We had a lot of obligations, like chang-

“My passion is really to work with people and to help people,” she said. “It gives me a feeling of satisfaction that is unmatched.” Ciceley Peavey Student ing beds and helping with activities. Working in the emergency room was a little nerve-wracking, but I liked being under pressure. While

there, I helped patients and comforted kids. I also cleaned rooms and job-shadowed the nurses, which included taking a lot of vital signs. At SafeHaven, I had patients die during my shift, which certainly was a new experience for me. I thought I handled it well by staying busy and by not being too distracted. “Today, I am certified and can work at the hospital as a nursing assistant, although I’m not sure what field in medicine I want to go into. I really enjoyed being a CPA because I like working with patients and getting to know them. Helping people is in my nature, I guess, because I like company and not being by myself.” This year Peavey is taking sports medicine and working with the school’s athletic trainer. “Some of the things we are learning are how to report the status of patients and how to tape the athletes,” she said. Her senior project will be in the field, as well. “I’ll be job-shadowing three professionals—a physical therapist, a chiropractor and a nurse—so that I can find a field that I enjoy and be able to know what direction I want to go in in college. I will do multiple sessions with each individual and then create a portfolio documenting the experience. I’m really excited to do it. Whatever I do in the field, I want it to be related to people. Right now I’m leaning toward being a doctor or a therapist.” Born in Twin Falls, Peavey moved to Bellevue at age 4 and then to Carey when she was 9. “It’s a very small town and there is not much to do, but I love it and I have a lot of friends there, which is a bonus,” she said. “Hailey and Ketchum are big cities for me. I think the Valley’s great. It’s small, but that makes it nice to commute around and, compared to Twin Falls and Boise, it’s not crowded, and I love the outdoors.” Peavey certainly picked the right place to live. tws

ahogany Duns and masking hatches are something I write about every year; it is that important to anglers on Silver Creek, and it is also a glaring example of something we fly anglers hear all the time but don’t see all that often. The masking hatch, simply put, is a hatch of insects that you can see very well on the water but, in fact, the fish are eating and keying on a much smaller bug or, as is the case with the Mahogany, a larger bug but a difficult bug to see due to its dark color. In fact, the best way to see the Mahogany Duns is to look at the water with the glare in order silhouette their dark bodies. We see this a lot with Micro-Caddis and Flying Ants as well. These are insects that hatch in huge numbers, the fish love them, but we rarely see them on the water very well, as our eyes are drawn to more abundant bugs or brighter-colored ones. So, with this said, when you are on Silver Creek this week, be prepared to see A LOT of Fall Baetis throughout the day. You may even see Trico and Callibaetis, but the one to watch for is the Mahogany Dun. It is a true mahogany color; it is about a size 14; and it is a plump insect--everything a fish getting ready for winter needs. This bug will come in waves, so be ready for it! Morning Hoppers are not a kind of Hopper, but the time of day to be throwing Hoppers right now! Before the hatches start and before most anglers arrive on the Creek is the time to be casting your big Hopper patterns. The biggest fish are still out cruising from the night before and haven’t gone to their hidey-hole on the bank for the day. They are out and about for one reason, and that is to find something BIG to eat before the bright light of day begins. Finally, the Brown Trout population in Silver Creek is getting ready to spawn. This means fish looking to eat before they spawn, and fish that will be voracious after they spawn. Spend some time Streamer fishing this week and you may be pleasantly surprised. Even in the middle of the day! Enjoy the fall colors and enjoy one of the greatest times of the year to be a fly angler! Happy fishing and hunting, everyone!

The Grieving Dog BY FRAN JEWELL

e all experience a grieving process when we lose someone important to us, and dogs can, too. All dogs experience the process differently. In humans, there are five stages to grieving that we MUST go through, but that is not the case for dogs. Some dogs may grieve profoundly, while others show no signs at all. Some dogs also feel our grief and will reflect our own depression.

unlike a human that needs to take time as part of the human process.

1.Be sure that your dog has no illness that might coincide with the loss. A vet check is always a good idea. 2.Keep the routine at home and add more structure. This may sound unfeeling, but do not accommodate any depression by keeping a dog home from the usual events because the dog “does not feel up to it today.” Many times, we can deepen any depression by adding to it. Dogs are not

the behavior is not associated with any health issue, an experienced and certified dog behavior consultant is a good choice for help. This is much like going to a specialist for your own health concerns. 6.Yes, DO give your dog love, understanding and attention, but give attention in a positive way by playing games, going for walks, and more fun time with you. 7.If the loss leaves your dog as a single dog, DO NOT get another dog as a friend for your surviving dog immediately.

You can see a dog’s grief in his eyes. Courtesy photo

Indications that your dog may be grieving can include sleeping more than usual, not eating, eating more, restlessness, unusual barking and demand barking, separation anxiety that was not the case before, unusual aggression, clingy behavior, or unusual generalized fearfulness. Basically, any behavior change that was not there before may be a product of your dog’s grief process. There are many things you can do to help your dog get through grief. One rule to remember is that a dog in the wild would have no time to grieve; they would have to keep going, catching the day’s food, finding water and protecting territory. It may sound uncaring, but is a natural process for dogs to go about the business of life,

humans. By nature, they should keep going. 3.Include more activities your remaining dog enjoys including more or longer walks in new places, or daycare. Try an obedience class or other fun class or private session so you and your dog can learn something new. 4.Take a trip together to a dog-friendly place. There are many these days, planned for taking your dog along. 5.Treat behavior problems with professional help. If separation anxiety develops, or other behavior problems such as barking, regression in house training, or any unusual behavior that didn’t exist before, seek professional help.

better to introduce a new dog when your dog is in a healthy mind place; otherwise, distress behaviors can become even MORE intensified. Dogs are not people, although they do feel a sense of loss. Treating a dog like a person may actually intensify the process, not make it better. These ideas are not only good for your dog, but good for you, too.

Annie Bloomfield said the Waldorf style was just what her daughters Grace and Gaby needed when she enrolled them at the Waldorf-influenced Mountain School, which closed last year. “Grace, now in seventh grade at Wood River Middle School, needed more art and music. She’s a creative kid who revels in painting, dancing, even performance,” Bloomfield said. “Gaby, now a fourth-grader at Syringa, is a nature girl who needs the outside and movement and time with animals and a garden.

ALL OUR EGGS, ONE BASKET! Well, here we go! We will now be in The Weekly Sun every week. Gorbs has three other jobs and I should be retired but we just love doing this project called The Blatant County News. We will work a little harder, give our advertisers more options and continue bringing the “funny” to the Wood River Valley. Your response is the main reason we elected to go weekly in The

Weekly Sun which has been growing in quality with a new editor and writing staff and special sections to become the paper we all wanted it to be—“The Bright Spot in Your Week.” Our goal will be to entertain you and cover the positive aspects of our county. “If that’s wrong, we don’t want to be right.”

NEVER GIVE AN INCH

I went to the doctor last week to get a physical checkup and his nurse told me that I had lost one inch of height since last year. I said. “No way, Clara Barton. I’m 5 foot 8 and one-half inches tall and I’ve been that way since high school.” “Yeah?” said Clara.” “Well, you’re 5 foot 7 and one-half inches now, Bozo!” How can that be? What happened? If I lost an inch in a year that means by the time I reach 90, I’ll be 3 foot 9. I’ll be like one of those candy makers in Willie Wonka. I had felt good about losing a lot of weight last year, but now to find out that I’m also shrinking has really put me off the exercise kick. Maybe if I put the weight back on, I’ll get an inch of status back? No? I’m not enjoying this aging thing. I also contracted a mild case of the swine flu in Boise last week, where I went to pick up my daughter. I don’t know who I got it from—it could have been anyone. My doctor informed me that they had traced the first swine flu epidemic back to 1957, and if I had it then, this would be a mild case because of immunity. It seems to hit a lot of younger people, but do they lose an inch? No! I went to my first “super mall” on the Boise trip and bought some new pants. Next year, they will be too long. I have to start buying short now and selling long. As a matter of fact, the whole wardrobe should be thrown out the window because, apparently, I’m shrinking. I used to bump my head on the top of the bunk bed (this is a completely whole different story) when I would rise in the morning. Now, I just pop right up unopposed. I guess some good has come from my melting. I now have to face the fact that I am a dwindling person. I am one of the dwindlers on the planet. I’m a stubborn fellow and have never given an inch easily. Now, I’m apparently letting go in more ways that one. Sail on, great ship! In my case, it should be paddle on, tiny boat, and wear your life jacket.

Nice talking to you.

EMV Technology What Is It And Why It Matters

BY ZACH GREGERSEN

s your business doing everything it can to prevent credit card fraud? Credit card users and merchants benefit from a credit card processing system that uses new technology to fight unauthorized credit card use. EMV technology is one of the best ways the credit industry reduces fraud. EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa, the credit companies responsible for developing the technology. It’s also sometimes referred to as chip or PIN technology, and it involves the embedding of a smartchip in consumer credit cards. In terms of fraud protection, this smart-chip is a better, safer alternative to the magnetic stripe we’re used to here in the U.S.

How EMV technology works

When consumers make a purchase with a card featuring EMV technology, the payment terminal accesses the embedded chip to verify the purchase and instructs the point-of-sale (POS) terminal to proceed with the transaction. At the end of the process, the cardholder is required to enter a PIN instead of signing for the purchase.

This process fights fraud in two big ways. First, signatures can be forged, but it’s highly improbable that a credit card thief would be able to accurately guess a cardholder’s personal identification number. Second, the consumer never has to hand over the credit card to the cashier, so it stays in the owner’s possession throughout the transaction. Outside the U.S., EMV cards have been in use since the early 1990s. In Canada and Europe, studies have proven that the technology greatly reduces fraud.

Why you need EMV-enabled POS terminals

As a merchant, it’s always a good idea to adopt technology that protects your business and your customers from the threat of fraud. EMV terminals are capable of scanning for fraudulent cards and rejecting them. Beyond that, major credit card companies like Visa, MasterCard and American Express will eventually hold you liable for fraudulent transactions in instances where you don’t use an EMV-enabled payment terminal when the use of one could have prevented the fraud. This policy switch is called a “liability shift” and, once it’s in effect, it could have a big impact on merchants who aren’t using

EMV terminals. Switching to EMV technology has additional benefits for merchants. The new process saves money because signed paper slips are no longer needed, it simplifies research for disputed transactions, it speeds up checkout, and it reduces time cashiers spend balancing their cash drawers after hours.

When should you make the switch?

The fraud-prevention benefits alone make it worth making the switch as soon as possible. You can also rest assured that EMV terminals will still be able to read magnetic stripe cards during the transition. That means that consumers can continue to pay with magnetic stripe cards until the migration is complete, and as a merchant you will never miss out on a sale. Are you ready? EMV-enabled cards and readers are a win-win for businesses and customers. They make credit card processing easier and safer, reducing the incident rates for fraudulent purchases that frequently put small businesses at risk.

An Acupuncturist’s View Of PTSD BY ROSEMARY CODY

“Relaxing makes me nervous.” —unknown

f you suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it is hard to relax. You remain hypervigilant, ready for defensive action. The part of your brain called the amygdala, whose job is to assess every situation for its perceived threat level, stays switched on 24/7. Even an innocent sight or sound registers as level red—high danger—like a full-time “fight or flight” surge. British journalist Sean Langan was held captive for three months by the same Taliban tribe that held Bowe Bergdahl. He has suffered from severe PTSD. According to Langan, PTSD is counter-intuitive: It can make you turn against the people you love the most. You can become irritable without much provocation. Other symptoms include anxiety, depression, sleep problems and addictions. These are issues too common with our military veterans. The U.S. Depart

ment of Veterans Affairs estimates 20 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans and 30 percent of Vietnam veterans struggle with PTSD. In the veterans’ acupuncture clinic that I hold monthly, I select acupuncture points to reduce the effects of trauma. One point helps balance the nervous system. Another works on the heart, calming the startle response. Others are directed at softening anger, transforming fear into courage and resolving sadness and grief. The mental wounds of trauma are reversible, but it’s hard to do alone. In addition to acupuncture, I encourage the veterans to seek the support of a psychotherapist who specializes in trauma healing. I remind them of the outdoor programs at Higher Ground. Connecting with nature helps stabilize a hypersensitive nervous system. So does meditation and breathing-based yoga. You don’t have to be a veteran to experience some level of PTSD. Every life contains stress and trauma that we are unprepared for. Being exposed to threats, either directly or indirectly,

can scramble our settings. Collectively, many of us experienced PTSD from the 2013 Castle Rock Fire. Personally, I feel a twinge of trauma from watching the world news on television. But here’s the hopeful news: Everything in nature is designed to return to balance. Animals in the wild, after being attacked, instinctively know how to clear themselves of the biochemicals of fear. We humans also possess this innate self-healing ability, albeit hidden beneath layers of trauma and cultural programming. With time, patience and support, the powers of healing will arise from the destructive forces of trauma. The defensive position will loosen its grip and the ability to relax—truly relax—will be restored. Take a deep breath and seek the help you need.

Acupuncturist Rosemary Cody is the owner of Cody Acupuncture Clinic, with offices in Hailey and Ketchum. The free clinic for veterans meets the third Tuesday of each month. For more information, call Rosemary at 208-720-7530.

Idaho’s Short Season Climates BY STEPHEN L. LOVE, KATHY NOBLE, & STUART PARKINSON

Local Food - Local People Owners Al & Stephanie McCord invite everyone to come in and check out all the new additions to the market.

hort-season locations in Idaho can be grouped into one of three climate categories, each with its own limitations. The most populous is the high desert, with its combination of hot summer temperatures that support growth of some warm-season plants; spring and fall season-reducing frosts; and cold winter temperatures that damage or kill many trees, shrubs and perennial plants. A second category, typical of the northern Idaho panhandle, comprises the moister locations that often experience consistently cool summer temperatures that may prevent many plants from flowering or maturing

in a timely manner. The third category, the high-elevation locations of the central and eastern mountains, are subject to the worst of all conditions: cool summers, frequent frosts, and bitter winter cold. Each category has a unique combination of growing-season length, winter cold, summer heat, wind, humidity, precipitation, sunlight intensity, and soil conditions. Although we often consider hardiness when selecting and managing plants, all of these factors can affect plan growth and survival. Desert gardeners, for example, must consider drying and damaging winds, low humidity, and high soil pH. High-altitude gardeners must think about their short growing season, low humidity, and intense sunlight. Gardeners in moister

mountain valleys should understand the impact of consistently wet soils in winter and spring, cooler summer temperatures, and summer drought. Each of these factors will influence plant stress levels, and they may have more of an impact on plant survival than cold winter temperatures. Taking into account the complex interactions among these climate factors can complicate plant selection and landscape management, but will improve your chances for success. This article is from “Short-Season, High-Altitude Gardening Bulletin 857.” To read the complete article, contact the Blaine County University of Idaho Extension Office in Hailey at 208-788-5585.

JON RATED THIS MOVIE

BY JONATHAN KANE

W Havlick Breaks Baldy Climb Record All-American cross-country skier Miles Havlick is awarded a $100 bonus by the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation for setting a new record during the ski team’s 36th annual Baldy Hill Climb, which took place on Saturday on the Warm Springs side of Bald Mountain. Havlick accomplished the about-3400-verticalfoot climb in 34 minutes and 5 seconds—6 seconds faster than the previous record set by Michael Tobin in 1989. Courtesy photo by Tina Toner

oody Allen churns out one movie a year—a remarkable feat in and of itself because he also writes the screenplays, and all on a limited budget. His newest film, “Magic in the Moonlight,” is not a heavyweight masterpiece, but is delightful in a low-key sort of way and a welcome addition to his voluminous canon of work. It also subversively and cleverly examines many of the themes that he has made his own in what is essentially a sweet little picture.

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

Set at the height of the jazz age in the south of France, the movie tells the story of a world-famous magician, played beautifully by Colin Firth, who also works as the greatest debunker of spiritualists in the world. When he is approached by a fellow magician (Simon McBurney) with an offer to debunk a young, beautiful spiritualist working in France, he cannot refuse. That girl turns out to be a wonderful Emma Stone, who displays a comic timing not seen before. She has attached herself to wealthy patrons and the chance to marry into their family. Firth is up to the task, but soon is falling under the alluring grasp of Stone and totally bewildered by his inability to see through her

ruse. Can his life’s work be all in vain or, more horrifying yet, is there unexplained mysteries in the world? Faith, or the lack of it, is a constant theme in Allen’s work and here it comes beautifully and lightly packaged. All the technical aspects of the film are excellent when you consider how little he spends on the total project (by today’s Hollywood standards, anyway). The photography by Darius Khondji especially stands out and the Twenties’ era costumes are great. But it is Allen that we must marvel at, as nothing seems to be slowing him down. Love him or hate him, he is certainly a force to be reckoned with. tws

the bright side

Glass Half Full BY BRENNAN REGO

ear Optimists, Welcome To The Bright Side. This new editorial

aims to explore and highlight on a weekly basis the endless positive aspects of life in the Wood River Valley. Instead of selecting topics to bellyache about each week, I’ll focus on subjects worth celebrating. Rather than inducing a grimace, these write-ups should inspire a smile, or better yet, a belly laugh.

Optimists, let’s dawn our rose-hued glasses and applaud the incredible lifestyle our Valley offers. Let’s also revel in the numerous heartwarming stories that occur throughout the area; if you pay attention, you’ll notice the Valley is brimming with wonderful moments and ideas, big and small alike. In today’s inaugural “The Bright Side,” I’d like to praise a selection of relatively new events that have made September quite a robust month, both for the local economy and for residents and visitors who are looking for fun things to do in the area after Labor Day. These events include the third annual Sun Valley Harvest Festival, the second

annual Wood River Valley Studio Tour and the Sun Valley Film Noir Series, new this year. The Harvest Festival, always a fun weekend, has matured to become a truly tasteful and tasty event that draws foodies to the area, exposes residents and visitors to the Valley’s numerous restaurants and food producers and puts the area on the map as an topnotch epicurean destination. The popular Studio Tour shines a welcome spotlight on the Valley’s art scene, one of the area’s strongest assets. Beyond offering attendees a fun opportunity to spend time with our talented local artists at their studios, the Tour allows artists a great occasion to expose attendees to their new works. The Film Noir Series ensures Thursday nights in September will not be dull. Also, it’s fun to watch old movies in a cinema setting with a large crowd. The Series shows significant promise as an early fall event; this year’s films were excellent, and the pre-screening lectures shed some very intriguing light on the films’ dark themes. Thanks to such September events, and others like

them, life in the Valley does not slow down as much as it used to after Wagon Days. Our beautiful, early fall days are now filled with a palate of activities for every preference. That’s certainly something to smile about. In even more jocular news, The Blatant County News will, starting today, be included in every issue of The Weekly Sun. The Blatant County News—a “humor and rumor” publication for the Valley created by Matt Gorby and Chris Millspaugh—is like our very own local version of The Onion. Gorby, Millspaugh and all of us here at The Weekly Sun are tremendously excited to dish out The Blatant County News every week. We hope you’re just as psyched to read it and to laugh out loud with us. In this issue, The Blatant County News starts on page 17. “The Bright Side” is The Weekly Sun’s editorial voice by Editor Brennan Rego. Please don’t hesitate to email positive topic ideas, heartwarming stories and anything else worth celebrating to brennan@ theweeklysun.com.

Whenever you hear thunder, do like I do: Put your head under the pillow and the thunder will go away.” Had he followed the doctor’s advice, the astraphobic person would have had to put his head under the pillow several times this week. So what’s up with thunder and lightning? These storms should actually be called lightning and thunder, because lightning comes first. Inside an enormous thunderhead cloud, one that weighs 2.2 billion pounds—or the equivalent of 200,000 African elephants—static charges are built up just like static charges are built when you rub your shoes across a carpet. When the strength of the charge overpowers the insulating properties of the atmosphere, lightning occurs, just like when you touch a doorknob after walking across a carpet and get a shock. The lightning, just like the shock, is a means for the static charge to escape. Next comes the thunder. The lightning literally splits the air in a fraction of a

second and heats up the air to 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit (five times hotter than the sun). The heated air expands, creating a shockwave. Thunder is the sound we hear from this shockwave as it travels through the sky. When the astraphobic fellow sees lightning, how much time does he have to hide under the pillow before he hears the thunder? It takes about 5 seconds for the shockwave to travel one mile. After he sees the lightning, he should count 1, 1000, 2, 1000, 3, 1000, … If he hears the thunder before he counts to five, the lightning was less than a mile away. What should you do if you are outside hiking, biking, fishing, playing golf or swimming and you determine that lightning is close? Some of the things you should not do are: stand under a tree or utility pole (anything tall), lay on the ground, stand in open ground or next to anything metal, like your car. If you are inside, stay away from open windows and don’t take a shower. The best thing to do is take the psychiatrist’s advice: relax—the chance of being struck by lightning is 1 in 500,000— and duck under the pillow and stay there until the storm passes! Ann Parry is a local math tutor. 23

Local Food For Thought Sugar: The Tobacco Of Today

“Last spring, [our district] board of trustees approved a new Student Wellness policy that goes into effect with the start of this school year. Part of this policy [requires] that classroom celebrations and fundraisers involve either non-food items, or foods that meet district nutrition standards (which are currently being developed). Cupcakes, cookies and brownies will not meet the established nutrition standards, and I ask that they not be sent to school for celebrations.” -Don Haisley Principal

hat statement appeared in a letter sent home to Hemingway parents on the first day of school this year. It represents a carefully timed, critically important step taken by a person in a most appropriate position to do so. Thank you, Don Haisley—principal at Hemingway Elementary—for clearly and strongly setting a much-needed, long-awaited standard.

Even those of us with endless willpower understand the challenge of reducing, let alone eliminating, our sugar intake. Of the 600,000 food products in the U.S., 80 percent of them have unnecessary added sugar. Labels no longer list the percentage of USRDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) next to sugar—on average it would be upwards of 120 percent. Brain scans reveal that the effects of sugar and those of cocaine are virtually identical. Currently, one in three children in our country has childhood onset diabetes. To “grow and nourish” our financial portfolios, socially responsible investing (SRI) screens out the harmful companies (tobacco or fossil fuels, for example). To grow and nourish our children, parents and schools can screen out harmful food. Statistics show that diabetes and obesity could be reduced by 80 percent if school food was prepared fresh in school kitchens. This is a lofty and worthy goal. Meanwhile, sugar is arguably the most egregious ingredient, and the reduction of its presence and role in our schools is a powerful step in the direction of healthier kids. To learn more about the sugar epidemic, look for the upcoming screenings of Fed Up, in Ketchum on October 23 and in on Hailey October 24.

Mental Illness Awareness Week Is Oct. 5-11

Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) is October 5-11, 2014. It is a time to learn about mental illness such as major depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). “The more people know about mental illness, the better they can help themselves, their families, and communities to get the help they need.” said Tom Hanson, Vice President of NAMI Wood River Valley (NAMI-WRV). “Election Day also will be here in a month. Mental illness does not discriminate. It can strike Democrats, Republicans, and independents and their families at any time as much as anyone else. MIAW should include non-partisan dialogue about improving mental health care.” During MIAW, NAMI is asking voters to look at every candidate’s pamphlets or website to see what they have to say about mental health or to ask them directly at public forums. NAMI-WRV is providing displays, brochures, and other materials to the local libraries in observance of MIAW, and encourages everyone to “go green” to shine the light on mental illness to show their support and raise awareness for mental health. “NAMI would like you to wear green during the week of October 5-11, by wearing a green ribbon, green clothes, green shoelaces, green fingernail polish, dye your hair green, etc,” states a recent news release from NAMI-WRV. One in four adults and one in five children and teens experience a mental health problem every year; one-half of all chronic mental illness begins by the age of 14 and three-quarters by age 24, according to the release. Unfortunately, there are long delays—sometimes decades—between the time symptoms first appear and when people get help. Early identification and treatment can make a difference. Information about symptoms and treatment options is available at www.nami.org or call the NAMI Helpline at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264).

University To Provide Info on Online Degrees

Idaho State University (ISU) will hold two informational meetings on Tuesday in the Wood River Valley to present information on new ISU online master’s and bachelor’s degrees. ISU College of Business Director of Graduate Studies Heidi Wadsworth and College of Education Professor Karen Scott will present information on ISU’s online Master of Business Administration, Master of Organizational Learning and Performance and bachelor of workplace training and leadership programs. The duo will hold informational meetings and serve light refreshments at noon at the YMCA in Ketchum and at 6 p.m. at the College of Southern Idaho Blaine County Center in Hailey. Wadsworth will provide information on ISU’s new online Master of Business Administration program and Scott will present on the online Master of Organizational Learning and Performance and the bachelor’s degree in workplace training and leadership. All three of these programs are online and are tailored for working professionals. The programs are highly flexible, allowing students to continue in their jobs while pursuing an affordable degree program. ISU will sponsor a vendor table at the Sun Valley Economic Summit on Oct. 8 where university representatives will provide information and field questions. For more information on the programs, contact Chris Vaage, ISU-Twin Falls program director, at 208-736-2101, 208-9332301 or vaagchri@isu.edu.

What’s Up With Green Dot?

The Advocates is bringing, Dr. Dorothy Edwards, the founder of Green Dot, to the Wood River Valley. Dr. Edwards is internationally renowned for her dynamic and motivational message of hope and compassion. She states that Green Dot is “A single choice in one moment in time to use your voice, actions or choices to make one small corner of the world safer.” Dr. Edwards developed the Green Dot bystander intervene strategy to reduce hazing and sexual assault incidents at the University of Kentucky. Green Dot has since been adopted by all branches of the military, over 250 universities and colleges and well over 200 community, statewide, and national organizations. The Advocates is actively teaching all local high school students the Green Dot strategies. Green Dot educates bystanders about how to intervene safely, respectfully, and effectively when they see someone in trouble. The Green Dot concept is that if we are all watching out for each other and if we have the necessary tools we can reduce all acts of power based personal violence in our community: bullying, stalking, teen dating abuse, harassment, sexual assault and domestic violence. Dr. Edwards will speak at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey on October 14 at 5:30 p.m. For more information, contact The Advocates at 208-788-4191 or theadvocatesorg.org.

Students Try ‘FarmRaising’

The Parent Auxiliary at Hemingway Elementary School in Ketchum is kicking off a unique fundraiser to raise money for educational programs, classroom supplies, teacher enrichment and special school events. Working together with Michigan-based company FarmRaiser, the group will be selling produce and other products made locally while teaching kids about the importance and benefits of eating a healthy, local diet. “This fundraiser is bringing community spirit back to the tradition of school fundraising in a way that represents a win for everyone involved,” states a recent news release from the school. “Students gain valuable knowledge about healthy foods and the products produced in their community. Supporters of the fundraiser receive fresh, high quality products they know are good for their families. Local farms and businesses participating as vendors gain much needed product exposure in their home communities.” Products will be sold from Sept. 26 to Oct. 13. Community members interested in supporting the campaign can make a purchase or give a donation through the online sales page at www.farmraiser.com/seeyourimpact/hemingway. For more information, contact Sarah Torres at 208-721-7960 or Stacy Whitman at 973-224-5750.

Girl Scouts Request Volunteers

Local Girl Scout Troop 230 is requesting volunteers to help erect and dedicate two new trails in memory of Nolan Kreczkowski, who died last year at the age of 12 following a snowmobile accident. “We have two dates and two locations,” states a recent news release from the Girl Scouts. “All are invited to both. Please invite your friends too. Nolan inspired our troop with his daily acts of kindness toward others at school and in the community and we want to honor him by encouraging others to carry out acts of kindness. We want to thank Nolan’s family for allowing us to create these trails in memory of Nolan.” On Sunday at 10 a.m., volunteers will meet at 860 Merritt Lane in Stanley. On Friday, October 10, at 3:30 p.m., volunteers will meet at Greenhorn Gulch. For more information, contact troop leaders Lorie Hayes at 208-720-4435 or Leslie Feltman at 208-720-3024.
