Beer & Bike Fest Promises Fall Fun BY JONATHAN KANE

t Idaho’s 11th annual Crosstoberfest, held this Friday and Saturday at Old Cutters Park in Hailey, bicycle racing marries a beer fest. In the eyes of many, it’s nothing shy of a match made in heaven: bicycle racing meets beer, they fall in love and decide to throw a party! The annual Idaho Crosstoberfest is just such a celebration.

doing mobile bike repairs and then opened the Power House bike shop. Combining two days of cyclocross races with a craft beer festival, Crosstoberfest— as it’s simply called—will be celebrating it’s 11th year this October 17-18. While cyclocross racing has been popular in Europe for over 60 years, the sport is essentially just catching up here in the U.S.—but it’s doing so swiftly. Cyclocross is America’s fastest growing cycle sport. Cyclocross events traditionally take place in the autumn and early winter and consist of short races (usually lasting less than an hour) where the competitors make laps on short tracks (usually less than two miles long) that contain challenging terrain that varies from dirt to pavement to grass and includes obstacles that occasionally force riders to dismount and carry their bikes. Crosstoberfest Idaho was the brainchild of Billy Olson, a former professional road bike racer. Olson is the owner of Power House Pub and Bike Fit Studio in Hailey, considered to be one of the best—

erry Kohlman, a public defender from Wisconsin and his wife Kathy have been wanting to see the Trailing of the Sheep Festival ever since they saw it on CBS’ “On the Road with Charles Kuralt” 15 years ago. But plane service was such that they couldn’t get here from there, they said, “without driving a long way.” With improved air service, the Kohlmans finally achieved their dream this past week. And they weren’t disappointed. “It’s every bit as wonderful as we thought it would be,” said Kathy Kohlman. Over four days, the Kohlmans learned from chef Jim Roberts how a leg of lamb has the perfect amount of fat and meat to make moist sausage and meatballs. They savored lamb strudel topped with tomato preserves at Vintage during the free Lamb Tastings. They examined Laureale Neal’s felted wool handbags at the Sheep Folklife Fair. They tapped their toes to the Polish Highlanders, Basque dancers and bagpipers and danced to the Oklahoma swing of Hot Club of Cowtown. And they joined thousands of others from at least 23 states and British Columbia watching 1,500 sheep surge down Ketchum’s

Main Street like an ocean tide. The Trailing, which began as a simple parade of school children following sheep through downtown Ketchum 18 years ago, has taken on a life of its own with even the spectators contributing to the spectacle. On Saturday, Mountain Home residents Rich and Diane Weideman outfitted three Chinese crested dogs and one Chi-Chi in sheep’s clothing and paraded them around the Folklife Fair. And on Sunday Sheri Crew, of Newport, Ore., donned her country folk dress as she has done for the past four years and paraded her 115-pound Polish Tatra sheepdog along the parade route, allowing spectators to pet its lush, self-cleaning coat. ”I just love the festival with the Hot Club of Cowtown and the Basques and the Polish Highlanders,” she said. Festival-goers found an array of things to tease their senses, from the screaming bagpipes of the Boise Highlanders to the tasty samples of sheep cheese that Kendall Russell of Lark’s Meadow Farm had named after the likes of “Ella,” whom he described as “the best jazz singer who ever lived.” And they got the opportunity to hear plenty of stories, which Festival Director Mary Austin Crofts noted was the main reason the festival was started. “When the music has quieted and the lamb has been eaten, all we have left is our stories and we have 18 years of them recorded and stored on archives at the CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Dolly Levi

Back Where She Belongs

BY KAREN BOSSICK

ay “Hello” to Dolly. The Broadway tour de force “Hello, Dolly!” will take the stage this week at Ketchum’s nexStage Theatre, courtesy of St. Thomas Playhouse. The story follows a matchmaker enlisted by a young man to secure his love’s hand, even though her wealthy uncle contends that he does not make enough money to be a suitable suitor. Meanwhile, the matchmaker has her eyes on that uncle—grumpy half-a-millionaire Horace Vandergelder. But—wait!—she’s not the only widow waiting in line for a wedding ring. The play, adapted by Michael Stewart, is based on Thornton Wilder’s 1938 farce, “The Merchant of Yonkers,” which he retooled into “The Matchmaker” in 1955. It opened on Broadway in 1964, winning 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Jerry Herman provided the memorable score, which includes Louis Armstrong’s “It Only Takes a Moment” and, of course, “Hello, Dolly!” Karen Nelsen plays the sophisticated brassy Dolly Levi, who makes a career out of meddling and matchmaking. Nelsen, a relative newcomer to the community, appeared in last year’s “My Fair Lady,” and ended up in Company of Fools’ “Enchanted April” this past July when one of the cast members had to leave before the play was over. Tim Eagan plays Horace Vandergelder. Peter Burke plays Cornelius, Vandergelder’s chief clerk. Sam Brown plays Barnaby Cornelius’ assistant, and Sara Gorby plays opposite Burke. “It’s a poignant yet beautiful story of a woman ful of vibrant charm who’s moving into another phase of her life,” said choreographer Sara Gorby, taking a break from rehearsal. “She’s a busy matchmaker who has her fingers on everybody else’s lives. But she’s come to the realization, ‘I need to be part of life.’ ” The play, directed by R.L. Rowsey, features a smaller cast than many of the Playhouse’s recent past

productions: 22 adults and 29 children spread out over two casts. The cast of children includes Wyatt Root, an 11-year-old at Pioneer Montessori who has been in “Christmas Carol” and a few other productions, including a ballet performance. “I like it all,” he said. Rya Nichols, an 8-year-old at Hemingway School, auditioned for the play with her mother’s encouragement. “I think it’s great to get all these young children in the theater,” said Rya’s mother Kate Nichols. “I used to be in quite a few shows, including ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes.’ I found it was a way to forge friendships and bond with people.” Maria Gerhardt has stitched together elaborate Sunday-best costumes befitting of the 1890s. And K.O. Ogilvie constructed the set. Dorinda Rendahl is in charge of the music, while Rebecca Martin will conduct the orchestra. This will be Rendahl’s first time to watch “Hello, Dolly!” from start to finish. “I had no idea how much I was going to love this music,” Rendahl said. “The more I play it, the more I discover. I’m still finding surprises. I adore Cornelius’ speech about love. And Dolly’s speech to her late husband asking him for a sign she can move on is so touching. The entire play is endearing.”

There’s never the sense of standing still.” Courtesy photo

SHEEP FESTIVAL, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

WHAT YOU’LL FIND IN THIS ISSUE

The number of sheep has fallen from 60 million to 5 million in America, but the sheep industry is still doing well in places like China and Australia. The industry is now 7 percent of its peak, Guerry added. Gooding sheep rancher John Faulkner said the 1,500 sheep he trailed through town for the parade represent more than 10 percent of the 12,000 sheep he currently runs. At one time there were 200,000 sheep going into the Sawtooth Mountains, he added. Today, sheep ranchers must deal with the loss of packing plants and shearers. More than half of the

lamb in our marketplace comes from New Zealand and Australia. But the sheep are good animals to deal with, said Kimberly sheep rancher Laird Noh. They are very water-efficient—they don’t need water every day. They reach their maturity in a year, whereas cattle take two or more years. And, after years of downturn, things may be looking up. Oregon sheep rancher Jeanne Carver described how she turns her wool into everything from high-fashion clothing to wool paper—“I need more growers to keep up with it,” she said.

Chef Jim Roberts serves up smoked lamb leg, lamb meatballs, chimichurri and harissa—a Moroccan condiment—during a lamb cooking class at the Wood River Sustainability Center.

University of Nevada,” said festival founder Diane Peavey. University of Nevada Professor Kent McAdoo described how the Basque language is so difficult that even the devil can’t understand it. And he shared how the Basque herders he lived with for a year stuffed a turkey with green chilies for Thanksgiving and how they wouldn’t eat oatmeal cookies. “Oats are for horses,” they told him. Former sheepherder Alberto Uranga, now a Ketchum finance man,

described how he feared bear more than coyotes because they attacked an entire group of sheep, rather than singling one out. Once, he said, sheepherders had to pull 68 sheep out of the water after a bear attack. Castleford sheep rancher Mike Guerry described how his father once thought they were offering him too little for his sheep at an auction in Utah. He reloaded the sheep on a train and went to Denver where he was offered even less. He got back on the train and went to Omaha, were he accepted less still.

The lodge construction project should prove a shot in the arm. The airport is working with the FAA on strategies that would reduce the number of flights that have to be diverted due to weather. The National Forest Foundation is working with community members to restore the trails and forests. New trail construction at Galena Lodge should take the pressure off trails that are being rehabbed following the 2013 Beaver Creek Fire. The community has a great bunch of volunteers, including members of the Wood River Bike Coalition who put in 1,500 hours rehabbing trails the past four months. And, while last year’s was a poor snow year, you could find great skiing in the North Valley and good mountain biking in the South Valley at the end of the season. The number of enplanements is up 29 percent, and Fly Sun Valley is projecting $80 million in direct visitor spending from air travel projected for 2014. Meanwhile, the cost of air travel on Sun Valley flights has been reduced by an average 20 percent. McCleary noted that Blaine County is the only county in an eight-county area with a robust bus system. And she is buoyed by the new Blaine County bike-pedestrian master plan and airport projects going on. But, she said, we don’t have funding to maintain deteriorating roads and bridges. “We know what to do, but plans are only good if you can follow through,” she added. Rick LeFaivre, who is organizing a Sun Valley Band of Angels to champion start-up businesses, told the group that resilience goes hand in hand with a community of innovators and entrepreneurs. The challenge is whether Sun Valley can keep companies, like Smith, after they go international. “Maybe our position is that Sun Valley is a great place to start a business,” he said. Whither Sun Valley? Sun Valley spokesman Mike Fitzpatrick said skiers and boarders will find better glade skiing this winter, thanks to Sun Valley’s work thinning out dying trees. The resort used a masticator to chop trees down in 30 seconds and grind them up in Frenchman’s Gulch this year. Work will move to Lower College next year and Warm Springs afterwards. “Having more distance between trees will making skiing more exciting, inviting,” Fitzpatrick said. Sun Valley also installed 47 new high-efficiency, low-energy Rubis Evo snow guns this year, which can make twice the snow with 90 percent less energy than the older guns. Some of the older guns are being relocated to the Cut-off area to provide better early-season coverage there. The resort received an A from the Ski Area Citizens Coalition for its environmental efforts this year, Fitzpatrick said. Sun Valley recycled 762,851 pounds of paper, glass, cardboard and plastic last year. This year it’s on track to exceed that, even without counting material recycled from the lodge construction. The resort also is using reclaimed water for its Elkhorn Golf Course, reducing domestic water use by 85

percent. The new equipment at the Sun Valley Laundromat reduces water usage by 80 percent. Fitzpatrick said 55.2 percent of Sun Valley’s visitors are male and 44.8 percent, female. The average age is 50.8 and 47.5, respectively. Forty-one percent are married with children at home. The average income per family is $170,000. The 70 percent who access Sun Valley’s website do so on their mobile phones. Fifteen percent of Sun Valley’s visitors are from Idaho; 19.4 percent, Southern California; 10.1 percent, Washington State; 5.3 percent, Utah; 4.6 percent, Oregon; 3.9 percent, New York; 3.4 percent, Texas; and 3.2 percent, Florida. How’s the economy? The economy is slowly recovering, says Harry Griffith, executive director of the Sun Valley Economic Development group, which organized the conference. But the first half of 2014 showed a decline in sales, save for Hailey. Business was down 5.7 percent in the first quarter due to poor snow. It picked up, however, and now is down 1.5 percent for the year. Construction motor vehicles, gas and some retail are up. Sporting goods and theaters are holding steady. Local government revenue is down. Realtors are doing very well, followed by tourism and employment. But property values are lagging. Blaine County suffered a $41 million loss due to the Beaver Creek Fire. And that doesn’t include tourists who will never come again, real estate that didn’t sell and the fire’s impact on health, such as asthma, Griffith said. tws

Summit Soundbites

“Define where you want to be 50, 100 years from now. Don’t let the realities of today—we were knee deep in rubble—cloud your vision of tomorrow.” -Bob Dixon Greensburg, Kans., Mayor “If the people of Los Angeles had the same level of participation that we see at this summit, they would fill the Rose Bowl and 40,000 people would be sitting in the parking lot waiting for a seat.” -Walt Denekas Marketron CFO “Celebrate successes. We celebrated when we saw neighbors turning lights on in a new house for the first time since the tornado.” -Dixon “You’re so fortunate to be here. You have amazing assets—both human and natural. We can’t even have this discussion in the Bitterroot Valley.” -Mary Mitsos National Forest Foundation “After World War II, everyone built patios in their backyard so people could barbecue and not be bothered. After the tornado, everyone built front porches. It’s time we get out of the backyard onto the front porch.” -Dixon

‘John Lennon And Me’ Looking At Life In A New Way

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

tar is promised an early death, thanks to cystic fibrosis, which subjects her to chronic lung infections, mucus buildup, shortness of breath and poor growth.

The teen-ager—the subject of Wood River High School’s fall play “John Lennon and Me”—faces her destiny with a healthy dose of imagination in which she is a Hollywood star surrounded by her MTV-inspired bodyguard Flunkies. Her make-believe world, colored by the music of

John Lennon and the Beatles, is threatened when she gets a new hospital roommate named Courtney. Courtney is Star’s opposite—a popular cheerleader. What’s more, she doesn’t seem all that sick. The play, which chronicles the girls’ path toward understanding each other, is a comic drama about life, death, and living life to the fullest. It was adapted by the author from her book, “Good-bye Best Friend.” “John Lennon and Me” starts at 6 p.m. tonight and Thursday and 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater on the Community Campus in Hailey. There also will be a 1 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Caroline Scarbrough plays Star, alternating between a girl that’s highly energetic when she’s feeling well and lethargic when she’s not.

“She thinks she’s famous—the next thing to John Lennon,” said Scarbrough, while waiting for rehearsal to begin. “But she’s an outsider—she can’t hang out with the regular kids because they don’t get her. And she has to deal with death, realizing it’s going to happen to her. The play is emotional but funny—the writing is hysterical. And Star is hilarious—she tells it like it is. “ Eva Sorensen plays Courtney, who is dealing with rheumatic fever. A popular girl, she learns to accept people like Star, forgiving Star for the things that make her hard to like. “And she learns to be more sympathetic to those who are sick or different,” Sorensen said. Director Karl Nordstrom said he picked the play because it addresses the themes high school students deal with, including peer pressure and relation-

ships. The Beatles music was an added selling point, he added. “It’s a great play. Very relatable,” said Penny Hope, who plays Nurse Janice. “I think it will speak to a wide range of people.” In addition to Scarbrough, Sorensen and Hope, the cast includes Alexandra Begley, Jessy Gonzalez, Logan Scarbrough, Yisel Reigle, Misty McClure, John Tatterson, Anyela De La Cruz, Nicole Puggioni and Jason Black. The crew includes Shannon Robertson, Cherice Tatterson, Cassi Seabolt, Hilarie Neely and Nancy Harakey. tws

Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for high school students and seniors, $3 for middle school students and $1 for elementary school students and children, available at the door.

Misty McClure, shown here treating Caroline Scarbrough, says she loves playing an ex-military nurse dressed in camouflage and combat boots in “John Lennon and Me.” “I’m going to go in the Army and be a combat medic—military runs in my family,” she says.

and perhaps only—bicycle repair shops/beer havens/ burger bars in the nation, according to publications like Outside and Bike magazines. “The event is just a lot of fun,” Olson said about the truly grassroots event that has been steadily growing since its inception. Hundreds of riders, racing fans and beer lovers are expected to attend this year’s Idaho Crosstoberfest, which features races for just about every age category and almost 75 different beers from more than 20 breweries from across the globe. Live music and locally grown and raised Bavarian-style food is also on the lineup. All the information is available at powerhouseidaho.com or call 788-9184. Olson’s story combines a unique mixture of bikes and food. He moved to the Wood River Valley in 1991

from south Florida. “I came for a weekend and decided to stay. I didn’t use my return ticket,” he says with a laugh. He has owned the Power House for five years. “I worked in restaurants all my life while I raced bikes all day. I decided to combine the two and start a bike shop/restaurant.” Olson started by doing mobile bike repairs and then opened the Power House bike shop. This is its third incarnation. As to biking, Olson said, “I love all of it. I like machines— how they work, riding where it takes you, people that ride and the ancillary benefits of getting in shape while you are having fun.” The Power House, located at 411 N. Main, is open Monday through Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. The bike shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from tws noon to 6 p.m.

t shouldn’t be surprising that Rodolfo Serva offers yams in KB’s burritos. After all, Serva hails from Peru, one of the first places sweet potatoes and yams were cultivated. Serva came to the Wood River Valley to herd sheep at his father’s urging. And he never went back. He took over KB’s in Hailey three years ago. And just this past summer he opened a new KB’s on Main Street in Ketchum, adding a little touch of Peruvian oregano and basil to the Ameri-

He ate canned beans, potatoes and soup, with an occasional piece of meat, which he often sliced and hung to dry into jerky so it would keep. “It was the same thing every day,” he recounted. “You get the sheep and take them to water.

Just after he opened, the recession hit and the construction workers who crowded into the restaurant left, seeking work elsewhere. “I lost my car, everything. I went to zero,” he recounted. “But I never lost my cleaning business—that kept me going.” Serva has found success in KB’s. The Ketchum restaurant had a busy summer tourist season.

Serva grew up in Canchapalca, a small Peruvian town lying in a mountain valley. His mother tended to the family’s cows, alpaca and llamas. His father grew purple Peruvian potatoes on the terraces built into the hillsides, harvesting them by hand according to the stars and the moon, much as the Incas had done centuries before. It’s not like here, with the tractors and irrigation water. When I saw that, I thought, ‘Wow!’ ” Serva said. In the early 1980s Serva’s father came here for three years, hoping to make more money for his small family. Serva joined him in 1984, herding sheep for Jim Cenarrusa. “Sheep were new for me,” he said. “My mother had three sheep, but someone else tended them on a big mountain. My mother al-

I like having him here during lunch because I know he’s going to go to football practice full.” Serva spends nearly 12 hours a day in the kitchen, often taking his show on the road to supply burrito buffets for events like the Nurseryman’s Association meeting at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden and last weekend’s Trailing of the Sheep Festival where he served Peruvian lamb stew and lamb tacos. “Food is my passion,” said Serva, who employs fellow Peruvians in the kitchen. “And I like it here. All the people are kind. Everybody good. I love this community and I love Idaho. And I make good money here. I know I can do better here.” tws

rigette Thomas, a senior at Wood River High School with a 3.7 grade point average and a member of National Honor Society, can most often be found on a soccer field. Her accomplishments are many, including being soccer team captain her junior year and being named 2nd team All Conference her sophomore year. This year will be her fourth year on varsity. “I started at four years old,” Thomas said. “All the kids were doing it, so my mom signed me up with the BCRD [Blaine County Recreation District]. My dad had played soccer in college as a goalie. My earliest memories are of my friend Claire and I goofing off all practice long. I can’t remember if we won or lost.” Things got more serious when she joined the Sawtooth United club soccer team in fourth grade. “It was a step up,” she said. “It was no longer co-ed and we got expensive uniforms and jackets. I played with them until high school. We would go to Boise every weekend and play two games on Saturday. My position was midfield outside, which it still is today. You play defense and offense and there is a lot of running. You run for the whole game, which is comprised of two 40-minute halves with a 10-minute halftime. The fields are different sizes but Wood River’s field is the largest you can have.” Thomas’s preference is to play offense. “You don’t score that much but with defense there is a lot more pressure on you,” she said. The game started to come together for her in seventh grade. “I was playing for Sawtooth United and I really wanted to

make the high school team,” she said. “I started to practice in my backyard by kicking the ball over a chair and working on my kicks. I just started to do a lot more out of practice. In ninth grade we tried out for the varsity in early August and eight freshmen made the varsity, which was really unusual because it’s normally two or three, but they had a lot of open spots that year. That year I won Rookie of the Year, which was really special. I played really well and could run forever and started most of the games. In one game I had four assists off of crosses. We also beat a Boise team in the last six seconds and went to State. My sophomore year was my best and I was really focused and made 2nd team All Conference. I also had no injuries until the last game when I sprained my ankle. Last year we went to State. We lost our first game, won the next and then lost to Twin Falls. This year we have a new coach and we’re doing great. We beat Twin Falls 3-2, which was really huge. Right now we are in the third seed spot and need to beat Twin Falls and Canyon Ridge to go to State.” What is it about team sports that she loves the most? “The atmosphere is really amazing,” she said. “My freshman year I was terrified of high school and the seniors, but they took us under their wing and made high school more comfortable and not so scary. They really helped out and talked with you. I’ve never been involved in individual sports. When you lose, the whole team feels it and goes through the same thing and we can really help each other out. For me, we have nine seniors playing together since fourth grade, so it’s a second family.” tws

are we waste a pumpkin on a jacko’-lantern? They are, after all, one of the most nutritious squashes of the harvest season. The flesh is perfect for pies, cookies, muffins, soups, pilafs and more. The seeds are nutritious as seed milk, in salads (pepitas) and for snacking, and are much appreciated by the birds (wet or dry). Pumpkins absorb toxins from the ground, so it is important that they be grown in healthy soil. Idaho’s Bounty now has organic pie pumpkins and mini decorative ones, all grown sustainably. The best pumpkins (or any squash) to eat are the small ones that have a smooth flesh (not fibrous). Cut them in half and bake them in the oven, then freeze the flesh in two-cup portions. These portions can then be used for pie, soup, muffins and cookies. The kids will love the harvest-orange color of pumpkin pancakes spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Large pumpkins are too fibrous to eat, but their seeds are well developed and particularly nutritious. The seeds are easier to digest—and the nutrients are more readily available—if they are soaked in salted water overnight (salt activates enzymes), then dried in a warm oven at a low temperature. Pumpkin seed milk is remarkably easy, and a nutritious alternative to cow’s milk in soups and other recipes. Again, soak the seeds in salted water overnight, discard the soaking water, and place seeds in a blender with two cups of hot water. Blend for two minutes then strain through a fine mesh (or strainer lined with a thin cotton cloth). Add a pinch of sea salt, spices, and maple syrup, honey or agave, then use immediately or refrigerate. Instead of carving a lantern, make an arrangement of various colors and sizes of edible pumpkins, then cook and eat them after Halloween. Waste not, want not! But if jack-o’-lanterns are a tradition not to be missed, don’t deny our hungry soil—compost, please!

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR OCTOBER 15 FROM PICABO ANGLER

ith true fall weather upon us this week, expect true fall fishing. The daily hatch and spinner fall windows are going to be much shorter, but the action could also intensify within those windows. This is also a time of year to start going back to some big bushy dry flies on our freestone streams. The H and L Variant and the Royal Stimulator are musthaves on the Big Wood and the upper Big Lost right now. The fish have seen plenty of October Caddis and Western Red Quills to turn them back on to the biggest dry flies! To the west, the South Fork of the Boise is very wadeable and the fishing is o.k. Take a lot of small nymph patterns and Fall Baetis patterns if you go. Be patient and try a variety of techniques and flies. Be ready to adjust day to day as well. The fly that may be hot on a Friday may be a dud on a Saturday. Be flexible and enjoy one of the most scenic places we fish in the fall! Silver Creek continues to shine, and the cool fall days this week are really going to get things percolating on the Creek. Mahogany Duns love cool, bright days and, in turn, the fish love Mahogany Duns! This is a great hatch and a productive one for anglers. Hoppers are still working and the early morning seems to be the best time to throw them. If you get to the Creek before the daily hatches, try a big foam Hopper in the gray of the morning light. You may be surprised. If the wind comes up on you during the afternoon, look to throw Ants and Beetles in the wind chop in the middle of the river. Again, you may be surprised by the size of the fish that will come up for something small and black. The particular pattern isn’t that important, just have something you can see in the chop in a size 16 or 14. Duck and deer season opened this week, adding to the beauty of this time of year, but with that said, anglers should take a little caution and think about wearing a few brighter colors to the rivers for the rest of the month. Leave the tan coat at home in favor of your red one! Nothing to worry about, just a precaution. Happy fishing, everyone!

Legacy Bixbi Bark Worthies Evangers

question I am always asked is, “What should my dog be trained to do?” There are minimum safety behaviors any dog should learn. This is my list of should do’s and don’t’s:

restrained. This is NOT something to start with an older or adoptive dog until you have developed a relationship with him. Nail clipping – nothing is worse than having a dog afraid to have its nails clipped and having to pay someone to do it for the rest of the dog’s life. Come – this is huge and life-saving and probably the most difficult to teach

A dog with good manners is a joy to live with!

PET OF THE WEEK

TRUST with you if you let them know you are the leader. A leader is someone you can count on and one who gives direction. Allowing dogs to make their own decisions about most things in life will eventually lead to a dog that lives in constant anxiety. Dogs need to know someone is in charge, what the expectations are, and need boundaries to be mentally healthy.

Sit and wait at a door – to prevent darting out into the street or running someone over. Sit for meals – this teaches a dog respect for humans and food. Sit for petting – ANY time, not just with visitors. Down or go lay down - this helps to teach self-control and what TO DO instead of fostering anxious behavior. Going to a bed on command is just as good. This can be combined with “stay.” Leave it – leaving items on walks, like dead animals. Puppy hugs - so the dog can go to the vet and not become afraid, resentful, or angry when they are

effectively. Stay – again, this helps teach the dog to trust you will always come back, but also teaches self-control. Walking nicely on a leash – this is life safety for you and your dog. A dog that pulls you over can injure you severely and pulling can injure him as well. Crate training – this is a life skill. Even for a dog that is well-behaved at home, this is a skill for a dog to have. At some point your dog will have to go to the vet because he is sick. If he is stressed by a crate, his illness will be even more stressful for him, taking him longer to recover. Be a leader – dogs will feel more comfort and

Jumping on counters – where a dog could possibly be injured by a knife, or toxic food; i.e., chocolate or grapes. Running between your legs – a sure-fire way to trip you, potentially causing great injury to both of you. Mouthing – this is disrespect and can lead a dog to believe that biting is also okay. It’s not affection. Jumping on people – while many think this is “friendly,” it can cause someone to fall over, making YOU liable for any injuries. Additionally, it is disrespectful of your personal space. And yes, even dogs have personal space and understand that concept. Food guarding – a dog that guards his food from other dogs or from people can become a dangerous dog, especially around children. Do not allow children to play near a dog’s food even if your dog seems nonfood aggressive. If you are not sure how to train for these things, seek qualified professional help. The longer you wait to do training, the harder it is to undo bad habits. Training can be incredibly fun for you and your dog! And it teaches the boundaries all dogs need to have to be happy!

Horse Camp Helps Vets Idaho Horse Therapy, Inc. in Fairfield hosted its first Re-Boot Camp® event the week of Sept. 28 through Oct. 4 and saw overwhelming success with a group of 8 veterans. “By the final day, no participants reported less than 40% improvement in their psychological well-being, and some reported as much as 70% improvement (taking one to self-described full-recovery),” states a recent news release from Idaho Horse Therapy. “One participant said of the experience, ‘In one week, I have gotten more relief than 20 years of therapy of the traditional style.’ ” For more information, visit idahohorsetherapy.com.

When she became a manager for McDonald’s, she couldn’t even get on their insurance program because she was only 17. And she learned how to cook in bulk as a mother of two boys. Now she’s turned her cooking prowess to Brandie’s Kitchen, which opened in January on Bellevue’s Main Street. The restaurant sits in a newly painted red A-frame building that started out as a motorcycle and snowmobile shop south of Ketchum before moving south to become a restaurant, whose incarnations include the Alpine Restaurant. It’s a family affair, with Brandie’s husband Russell Lepley—a retired Army officer—and Brandie’s mother Sharon Wall serving the customers. “I hate to refer to myself as Pop, but we’re a Mom and Pop diner offering up comfort food,” said Russell Lepley. The restaurant serves big portions of country fried steak, apple cinnamon-stuffed French toast, chocolate chip pancakes and English muffins with bacon, spinach, poached egg and Hollandaise sauce. The eye opener: the towering Stack,

featuring hashbrowns, eggs, bacon and other foodstuffs stacked like the Empire State Building. “It’s absolutely sinful. We tried it out after seeing it on the Cooking Channel and people came in the following week asking for it,” said Brandie Lepley. “We may add it to the menu shortly.” Seasons Steakhouse Seasons Steakhouse has changed the menu four times in the past year as the new steakhouse has tried to figure out the perfect mix for hungry Hailey residents. Owners Marc and Freda Avery think they have that with new chef Michael Colter, a Culinary Institute of America grad that they lured here from a 9-by-3-mile resort island off the coast of Florida. “What we’re trying to do is provide a very nice food and sports bar for the people of Hailey,” said owner Marc Avery. Colter, who likes to say he moved from one paradise to another, traveled up and down the highway examining what other restaurants offered and figuring out what Seasons could offer that would be different. The restaurant added daily specials, new dishes, and

OCTOBER 15, 2014

lowered prices as it evolved into a casual seafood and steakhouse with a sports bar. Colter’s signature dishes include St. Louis barbecue-style ribs and roasted chicken with a key lime marinade. And, as you might expect from someone whose mom grows key limes, there’s a key lime pie culled from a family recipe in the refrigerator. Saturday night is prime rib night. Pork chops are served family-style. Everything, including pork spareribs, chicken and Caesar wraps, is $8 on Football Sunday. And the children’s menu includes mini-corndogs, spare ribs and mac ‘n’ cheese for $4.99. Specials will include salmon in lemon caper tartar sauce with mushroom risotto, shrimp and andouille sausage and chicken gumbo. I won a medal for my gumbo at the Culinary Institute of America—the roux sets it apart,” said Colter. “My idea is to introduce a little seafood to the steak world, to bring a little bit of Florida to Idaho. I want to put Seasons Steakhouse on the map.” tws

of the wood river valley the weekly

Brought to you by our friends at

(RE)LIVING HISTORY, NAME THAT TUNE Yes, it’s still living-history time in the Wood River Valley. Just as the sheep passed through town last week on the way to their warmer homes down south, the RVs head north from the summer climes to pass through the valley to their destination at the Sun Valley Jazz Festival in the Sun Valley/Ketchum area. These jazz enthusiasts will park at the Sun Valley River Run parking lots and everywhere else they can fit. They’ve been doing this for years, as the sheep have, and we get to witness these historical events in October. Matt and I have grabbed our jazz instruments and will wait

on the street for a glimpse of our visiting music lovers and to show them our support by serenading them with some old classics such as “Won’t you go back to Hailey, won’t you go home?” Plus, “Baseline Road Blues,” “Moneysuckle Rose” and “When the Skiers Come Marchin’ In.” So, join us this week as we celebrate our fathers and mothers and their friends as they tear up the town. We’ll be right here garnering tips.

Love, Spa and Gorbs - and the entire staff of The Weekly Sun.

In an attempt to learn about the fascination of jazz in our area this week, I sat down with one the great oldtimers of this music genre to get his thoughts recorded for the generations to come. So, here now is my conversation with legendary trombone artist, “Memphis Sonny Days.” Spa: Welcome, uh, how should I address you? MSD: Well, everybody just calls me “Daze.” All right, Daze. Tell me, how long have you been coming up here to the Sun Valley Jazz Festival? What should I call you? Well, everybody just calls me Spa. Spa! Ha-ha, that’s groovy, daddy. Hey. A long time now, I really couldn’t tell you. Why not? I can’t really remember where I was Thursday. Haha-ha. Well, were you born and raised in Memphis? No, never been there, really. But your name – It’s just a name, Spa. Were you born in a spa?

No, but – Well, there you go then. They’re just names, brother. Okay, uh - how long have you been playing the trombone? The “bone?” A long time now. I really couldn’t tell you… Well, where are you from? Burley. Really? How long there? I really couldn’t tell you. How old are you? I really can’t say. Married? Sometimes. Children? Oh, my, yes. You know, Daze, I really don’t know anything about you. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, you think I’m vague?

All right, try this. Did someone give you your instrument? I think I relocated it out of a pawn shop window. When was that? This morning. You mean, from Phil at Ketchum Pawn? Yeah…Phil’s a groovy guy. You realize that you just admitted to a felony? I did? Well, how about that! I finally admitted to something! Look, there’s police coming down the block. I’m afraid I’ll have to end this interview. I hope you got your story, right, Spa. Ha-ha-ha! Good talkin’ to you. Nice talking to you.

In the cooking recipe on page two, the second line said, “All chefs should use Ex-Lax when they stir.” That was erroneous. It should have read, “All exchefs should try to relax when they stir.” We have received a lot of angry letters on this and we sincerely apologize.

Raspberry & Blackberry Winter Protection Tips BY SARAH BUSDON

ven cold, hardy brambles can be injured when warm, midwinter thaws are followed by subzero temperatures. Cold, open winters with little or no snow are especially likely to cause winter injury. Be sure to properly prune and apply mulch to your plants. Proper pruning removes weak, damaged, and dead canes. It also improves light and air movement throughout the bushes, which reduces pest and disease problems and ensures good bud development, well-colored fruit, and easy picking. How to prune depends on the

crop. Mulching the base of raspberry and blackberry plants with bark, straw or pine needles before winter helps protect the crowns from injury. Even if the canes are injured or killed, new canes will arise from the crowns. Fall-bearing raspberries are well suited to very cold areas that also have growing seasons long enough to mature fall crops. Simply mow off all canes or selectively remove injured canes during spring pruning. Mulching fall-bearing raspberries during the winter can help protect the roots and rhizomes from freezing injury. Healthy canes are much more resistant to winter damage than canes weakened by pests, diseas-

es, poor nutrition, overwatering or underwatering, weeds, shading, and other stresses. Keeping canes healthy with good cultural practices helps maximize cold hardiness. In dry areas, water the canes well before the soil freezes.

To learn more about growing and caring for your raspberry and blackberry plants, visit the University of Idaho Extension publication “Growing Raspberries & Blackberries in the Inland Northwest & Intermountain West” by Danny L. Barnes, Michael Colt, Jo Ann Robbins and Maurice Wiese at tinyurl.com/tws-berries.

BRIEF

Idaho Power Sets Fall Chinook Flows

For the past 22 years, Idaho Power has managed flows below Hells Canyon Dam to provide stable conditions for spawning fall Chinook salmon. Flow levels that took effect on Monday are part of a successful ongoing effort to increase the population of fall Chinook in Hells Canyon, according to Idaho Power. “This is a major part of the company’s commitment to good stewardship of the Snake River, and it coincides with a steady increase in the number of fall Chinook returning to the lower Snake to spawn each year,” states a recent news release from Idaho Power. In 1991, Idaho Power counted a total of 55 Chinook salmon nests, or “redds,” in the survey area, which includes the Snake River between Hells Canyon Dam and Asotin, Wash., and the Grande Ronde, Imnaha, Clearwater and Salmon rivers, which flow into the Snake, the release states. Last year, the number of redds surveyed topped 5,900. For more information, visit idahopower.com/ourenvironment.

Highway-lujah! CARS 4U2 the bright side

BY BRENNAN REGO

allelujah optimists! The ocean of orange is gone. I enjoyed pure euphoria last week as I drove north on Highway 75 without having to navigate through a neon sea of traffic cones for the first time since May, 2013. The highway seemed incredibly spacious and free as I cruised to Ketchum, and the beautiful October sunset only served to amplify my good mood. I had my tunes cranked up and was rocking out on my way to meet up with a good friend who is also a longtime Wood River Valley resident. “Have you driven the highway since they pulled

the cones?” I asked him quite excitedly when we met up. “The whole thing moves so smoothly now!” His answer was less than 100 percent enthusiastic. “Yeah, but do you think it changes the feel of entering Ketchum?” he said. I paused. I had noticed that the highway did feel rather ample, but that hadn’t struck me as a negative, and I did appreciate the increased traffic flow. I told him I wasn’t sure. “Neither am I,” he said. “Just something I’ve been thinking about.” That got me thinking about it too. Yes, the wider highway appears more urban than the narrower one did. However,

Asphalt debris lines Highway 75 in November, 2013. At least the highway doesn’t look like this anymore! And thank goodness all those orange cones are gone.

the Highway 75 corridor is still infinitely more aesthetic and less strip-like than, say, the San Francisco Bay Area’s El Camino Real. Cruising up or down Highway 75 on a beautiful day has always been one of my favorite drives and remains so. Also, the functionality of the wider route is key for everybody who drives 75 twice a day to get to and from work. Another positive attribute of the project is the fact that Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) was willing to invest about $10 million in the Wood River Valley community. That’s no chump change to simply disregard. ITD is also willing to invest more. ITD plans to widen the Big Wood River bridge from three lanes to four, starting in either late 2016 or early 2017, according to spokesman Nathan Jerke. The bridge project is expected to take 18-24 months, Jerke said. The highway projects might not be everybody’s cup of tea. And everybody is entitled to his or her opinion. However, one thing I think we can all agree on is that, between now and when ITD sets up the cones for the bridge project, we’ll all be shouting “Highway-lujah!” when we drive on 75. “The Bright Side” is The Weekly Sun’s positive voice by Editor Brennan Rego.

‘Gone Girl’ Fatally Attracted

As Gas Prices are Spiking…Prices are Falling at Cars 4 U 2! ‘07 DODGE CARAVAN

AWD Stk# H341

avid Fincher, the director of the new thriller “Gone Girl,” is one of the best American directors working today. From “Seven” to “The Social Network,” his work has raised the bar and is why there was such a buzz when it was announced that he would be making Gillian Flynn’s best-selling novel into a movie. With an assist from Flynn, who wrote the tight screenplay, Fincher has crafted an extremely entertaining movie that, at a quick two-and-a-half hours, is the date movie of the year.

With a nod toward Hitchcock, who probably would have adapted the book were he still living, this is a thriller that’s tough to talk about without giving too much away. Basically, it’s the story of a husband and wife in a deteriorating marriage fueled by the economic recession of a few years ago. He’s a reporter who has lost his job, and she’s a writer who has lost hers. The film opens on their fifth anniversary when the husband, Ben Affleck, discovers that his icy, trophy wife, Rosamund Pike, has disappeared. He’s an affable sort and she is a wealthy New Yorker whose parents made a fortune on by taking her childhood and turning it into best-selling novels.

They have left their life of luxury in New York for a small town in Missouri to help with Affleck’s ailing mother. After the disappearance, the story shifts into a focus on whether Affleck had anything to do with it. It also shifts into a clever commentary about today’s media and it’s devouring appetites. None of the characters are really likable, with the exception of an excellent Carrie Coon as Affleck’s beleaguered sister. Also terrific is Tyler Perry as a very funny and cynical high-powered defense attorney. The bottom line is that although the movie has its flaws, it’s still highly entertaining.

Investing In Mutual Funds BY LORI NURGE

This is the third article in a three-part series introducing the most common investment securities. We previously covered stocks and bonds, and in this installment, we will discuss mutual funds.

Mutual funds are an investment that you may already be familiar with and can be an excellent way to diversify your portfolio. Simply put, mutual funds are pools of stocks, bonds or both that are professionally managed. Typically, a sponsor company will pay a fund manager to invest in a portfolio of securities based upon the objective as described in the fund’s prospectus. The company then sells shares in the fund to individual investors. Each share represents proportionate ownership in all the fund’s underlying securities. Using mutual funds, you can construct a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds that might otherwise be too difficult or expensive. While mutual funds are still subject to market risk, with the diversification strategy it is believed that the more stocks and bonds you own, the less likely your portfolio may be to experience significant long-term negative impact due to one stock not performing well. Furthermore, you can invest in most mutual funds with a small initial investment, as low as $1,000. By then establishing a systematic investment plan, you can invest a fixed-dollar amount in a particular fund at regular intervals, making investing for your goals not only convenient but automatic as well. Another key advantage to investing in a mutual fund is that a professional money manager manages the fund.

rates rise, price on bond funds will generally fall, just as with individual bonds. Stock (or equity) funds typically involve more risk than money market or bond funds because they invest in the stocks of companies. Stock funds can be classified based on many different objectives. Examples include style-based funds that focus on growth or value stocks, funds that invest in companies based on their market capitalization, sector-based funds that invest in companies in a particular industry, such as technology or pharmaceuticals, and international funds that invest in foreign stocks throughout the world. With thousands of mutual funds to choose from, the task of finding the right funds may seem daunting. If you don’t have the time or inclination to research your options, you may consider hiring a professional to help you select funds and develop an asset allocation strategy based on your needs. Investors should consider a fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus, which contains this and other important information, is available from your Financial Advisor and should be read carefully before investing. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Mutual fund managers typically have a great deal of experience and access to industry and company research, which individual investors might not ordinarily have. Another benefit is that the fund manager is responsible for continuously monitoring the fund’s performance and can make adjustments to its holdings based on changing market conditions. There are thousands of mutual funds available on the market today. In order to determine which fund is best for you, you can start by narrowing the universe of funds down to three main types: money market funds, bond funds, and stock funds. Money market funds typically offer lower risk in comparison to other mutual funds. These funds are most appropriate for investors seeking preservation of capital and maintaining a stable share price. However, it should be noted that although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment, it is possible to lose money by investing. Bond funds typically offer higher yields than money market funds, but investors must be able to accept a higher level of risk. Of course, just as the types of bonds vary, bond funds also differ. For example, if you’re interested in investing in a bond fund, you may choose between a fund that primarily invests in corporate bonds, a fund that invests only in bonds insured as to timely payment of principal and interest or U.S. Treasury bonds, or a fund that invests in municipal securities that generate tax-advantaged income. The return of principal in bond funds is not guaranteed. Bond funds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the fund. Similarly, when interest

Is Gravity To Blame For Your Back Pain? BY JESSICA KISIEL

ravity: it’s a constant, unrelenting force pushing down on your body all day long. If you are not in vertical alignment with your load-bearing joints stacked— ankles, knees, hips and shoulders—the constant pull of gravity will be sent through your soft tissue instead of through your bones. This will overstress your muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia, which can cause strain, breakdown and pain in your body, often in the lower back.

Why do we stand in a swayed posture? There could be many reasons. First, look at the fashion models. The slouch is cool, portraying a carefree attitude toward the world. Without even being aware of it, we may be imitating their position. Second, we are a driven society. Our posture can reflect our fast-paced lifestyle and desire to get ahead. Since we move from the hips, some say we are driving ourselves forward from these joints to succeed. Third, our shoulders-back and hips-forward posture may be due to our need for personal space; we are literally backing away from people, situations, etc., in an attempt to protect ourselves. My view is that in our

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

effort to stand in better posture, we are throwing our shoulders back so far that the hips are forced to go forward to balance. To stand straight, all that is needed is to pull the shoulder blades down and back while keeping the spine and torso neutral. Unfortunately, many of us have a rounded upper-body position from hours of reaching forward—driving, typing, cooking, etc.—leaving our chest and back muscles overly tight and weak. The chest muscles are short and the upper back muscles are long. Lacking the flexibility and strength in these muscles to adjust the shoulder position, the lumbar spine modifies its curve. The lower-back arch is exaggerated and the hips are pushed forward to bring the shoulders back. Back pain is the result of this compensation. To correct your alignment and retrain your body in a better position, use a mirror and practice moving your shoulder blades together without lifting your chest or arching your lower back. Initially, standing in aligned posture will feel wrong if you are used to being slouched. Your brain will tell you that you are bending forward and sticking your butt out. Give it time. Eventually your brain and body will adapt to this new position, and your back will thank you.
