Shhhhh! Jazz in session

The Jason Spooner Band Comes to Ketchum BY MARYLAND DOLL

“We love to play in Sun Valley anytime we are out West. The people are nice and you can’t beat the natural beauty of those mountains—it’s a real spiritual place,” says frontman Jason Spooner of The Jason Spooner Band. The band is set to play a show at Whiskey Jacques’ in Ketchum on Friday, Oct. 24, one of 15 stops on their six-state Western tour. The New England quartet—made up of Reed Chambers on drums, Adam Frederick on bass, keyboardist/pianist Warren McPherson, and Spooner on lead vocals and guitar—is currently on tour promoting its fourth album, “chemical,” which was released on Sept. 16. The three-week tour will cover Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon, and end in California. Spooner has been on the music scene for nearly 20 years. He started as a solo artist in New England before meeting Chambers and Frederick and forming The Jason Spooner Band in the late ’90s. In an interview, Spooner discussed his new album, ongoing tour and the most recent addition to the band, keyboardist/pianist McPherson. “The bare-bones trio formation was fun for a while but we all knew that four was the magic number. When keyboards and piano are the addition, your sound changes exponentially… especially with a player like Warren, who brings a strong musical foundation and melodic sense to the picture,” explains Spooner. “It definitely added a level of musical maturity to the band.” The new album also shows a level of maturity in the recording process that the band went through to make it. “It was a completely unique process for us,” said Spooner. “In the past, we did a tracking situation where each instrumental track is added separately, and on ‘chemical’ we recoded the album live.” As for their sound, publicity manager Michelle Gutenstein-Hinz describes the band’s music as having the ability to “seamlessly blend a variety of musical influences and flavors into a cohesive

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

ator Nation stirred up a little swamp fever as the six-piece band spiked Sun Valley’s rarefied air with washboard and zydeco two-steps. And Billy Mata and the Texas Tradition, who looked like they should be playing at an LBJ barbecue, endowed Sun Valley’s ski lodges with a touch of Bob Wills swing tunes and honky-tonk dancehall tunes. The two were newcomers to the Sun Valley Jazz Festival, which celebrated its 25th anniversary this past week with royal blue skies and gently falling golden leaves. About 4,000 people attended this year’s festival, said co-di-

rector Carol Loehr, whose father Tom Hazzard started the festival. “That’s on par with last year,” she added. Among the attendees was Hugh O’Riordan, a Boise man who has had a condo in Sun Valley since 1982. “I grew up in Chicago listening to Grandma’s tombstone radio and I fell in love with the music of the ’20s and ’30s,” he said. “I find the Beatles kind of boring, but I love jazz. In fact, our cat is named Bix after Bix Beiderbecke, one of the great jazz musicians of the 1920s.” The new Mardis Gras party that preceded Jazz Week was so successful that the organizers plan to restage it next year, Loehr said. Priority seating, which cost $110, sold out although the arrangement sometimes left empty seats up front. Three free noontime concerts sponsored by Atkinsons’

Firefighters offer winter safety tips BY P.M. FADDEN

cool wind blows from the steppe. Winter is on its way to the Wood River Valley. This annual change for the colder heralds preparing the home and readying for winter’s chill. In the semi-arid climate of a high-alpine zone, winterization must emphasize

carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers, and sprinkler systems reduce the risk of fire. The same is true of the fireplace. Mike Baledge, Hailey Fire Department’s deputy chief fire marshal, says that inspection of a home’s chimney and fire area by a trained professional is imperative. To prevent chimney blockages caused by smoldering, fires should be burned upwards of 350 degrees, and the

awareness. The use of unsound decorations is a hazard which can lead to electrical fire. People should keep decorations clear of doorways and windows and monitor the quality of all lighting used. Decorators should pay close attention to the integrity of cords connecting light strings. If possible, people should also ensure that decorations used are the flame-resistant/retardant variety. The website USFA.fema. gov informs on the development of fire prevention/ fire education programs between government organizations and emergency response units, media, and civic safety groups. USFA reports that cooking (both in the home and in hotels) is the leading cause of winter fire. The website

also states that 67 percent of winter fires occur in either a single or shared living structure. Fire and rescue professionals feel that the risk of fire can be greatly reduced through the safe practice of identifying fire hazards before they become a problem. The ongoing goal of NFPA is to eliminate fire deaths and fire injuries through effective public education. And, USFA reminds that ‘fire is everyone’s fight.’ For more information, visit nfpa.org or usfa.fema. gov or look into the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy, which focuses on maintenance and restoration of fire-adapted communities as well as fire response.

Safe Fire Tips

The National Fire Protection Agency offers the following tips to “put a freeze” on unsafe winter home fires: • Inspect/clean chimneys and vents • Use heat-tempered glass/metal fire screen • Use dry/seasoned wood and metal container for ash disposal • Inspect/service furnace/heating appliances • Maintain minimum three-foot clearance around heat source For more information, visit nfpa.org.

primary focus should be causes of fire. Electrical appliances, gas heating systems, candles, and cooking meals can lead to high-risk situations for fire.

Sun Valley Fire Department officials advise residents to be prepared for any eventuality. They recommend that people have a home escape plan in place and ensure the family is familiar with it.

Annelia Williams of Ketchum grooves to the music of Tom Rigney and Flambeau during one of three free noonday concerts at Ketchum Town Square sponsored by Atkinsons’ Market.

Market at Ketchum Town Square drew crowds each day. The Yale Whiffenpoofs, the world’s oldest continuing a cappella group, also drew crowds as they performed free mini-concerts around the Valley, singing songs like “Too Darn Hot,” written by Cole Porter, who was a Whif in 1913. Brandon Sherrod, one of the young men singing with them, was featured on national TV news for stepping down from the Yale basketball team to sing with the Whifs. “It was a very tough decision,” said the tenor who hopes one day to become mayor of his hometown of Bridgeport, Conn., to clean up corruption. “But I loved music even before basketball. It’s an amazing opportunity to sing before groups like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in the National Gallery in D.C. We’re singing on all the continents but Antarctica. And, while it’s weird not practicing ball every day, I will get to play on the team next year when I go back for my senior year.” Hailey resident Jim Ganz

said he once attended the Monterey Jazz Festival held at the Monterey fairgrounds. With 25,000 attendees, it was a zoo, he added. “Their jazz was very different, very contemporary. I like this festival better because of the variety of music it offers and the smaller crowds,” he said. Casting a somber note over the merriment was the absence of local musician Bruce Innes, who had been scheduled to perform all five days of the festival. Innes lay in a coma with two skull fractures, two broken legs and other injuries at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise after being struck by a Land Rover in a bizarre accident while filling up his truck at a gas station. Singer Yve Evans urged listeners to remember Innes in their prayers as she played his hit, “One Tin Soldier.” And jazz festival organizers took up a collection for Innes and his wife Wanda at Sunday morning’s Hymn Sing. “They’re hoping he can make a full recovery,” Loehr said.

Settle In For A Haunting Tale On Thursday Night STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

t’s a short story in play form. And, as a story of how people haunt their own lives, you might call it a sophisticated Halloween tale. nexStage Theatre will present a free play reading of David Harrower’s “Good With People” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the nexStage Theatre. Complimentary refreshments will be served. The play reading features Claudia McCain and Nate Farrell. McCain plays Helen, who runs the desk at a struggling Scottish hotel in a once-thriving holiday resort that’s now home to the nation’s nuclear defense program. Farrell plays Evan, a guest who has reluctantly returned to Scotland from Pakistan where he has been working as a nurse to attend his parents’ remarriage. Evan is haunted by his past and afraid of his future. And his chance meeting with Helen brings his inner turmoil to a boil—he was once a member of a gang that victim-

Fire Chiefs Sponsor Countywide Training

The Blaine County Fire Chiefs sponsored a three-day advanced firefighter training program last week. The program was a partnership between the Blaine County Fire Chiefs Association; Bellevue, Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley Fire Departments; Wood River Fire & Rescue; and two fire equipment manufacturers: Elkhart Brass and Key Fire Hose. “Each of the three days, between 25 and 75 attended from entry level Firefighters to Chief Fire Officers,” states a recent news release from the Hailey Fire Department. “Classroom topics covered building construction, firefighting tactics and fire apparatus operations. The hands-on portion covered fire hose operations, street-smart hydraulics and aerial fire operations. “ The program was presented at various locations throughout the Valley. One of the most important themes of the program is “Everyone Goes Home” after the fire, the release states.

Coffee Grinder To Host Art Opening

Kim Lock, a photographer who divides her time between Boise and Ketchum, will host an art opening called “urban elements” at the Coffee Grinder in Ketchum on Friday, Oct. 24, from 5-7 p.m. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served. “Lock’s photographs come from the urban landscape where she delights in finding images of beauty, humor, abstraction, juxtaposition, and the downright weird,” states a recent news release from the Grinder, located at 321 East 4th Street. Lock has taken many photos in Ketchum, and those who spend a lot of time there might have walked by the objects she shoots or even touched them without seeing their art and beauty. “I love wandering streets and alleys and zooming in on something as simple as a manhole cover splotched with pink paint or a trash can lid leaning against a turquoise shed,” Lock states in the release. Lock will donate 15% of the proceeds from the show to The Advocates, a local nonprofit dedicated to building a community that is free from emotional and physical violence.

Date Set for Annual Winter Solstice Dinner

David and Jill Hitchin are again organizing the “Annual Winter Solstice Appreciation Dinner” at Trail Creek Cabin in Sun Valley on Thursday, Dec. 18 at 6 p.m. The 11th annual dinner will offer attendees an opportunity to support their favorite Wood River Valley nonprofit organization. “We hope you will join us in honoring the wonderful works of our Valley’s non-profit organizations and continue our tradition of dropping a sealed, addressed and stamped envelope in the ‘Thank You’ gift basket with your donation, as a way of supporting an organization of your choice,” states a recent news release from the Hitchins. “Over thirty-five different organizations have received your support in the past.” No-host cocktails will begin at 6 p.m., followed by dinner and dancing at 7:15 p.m. “Because of Sun Valley’s support of this event, we are able to limit our cost to $80 per person, tax and tip included to be paid after the dinner,” the release states. “It will be an open seating policy. Dress is black tie optional.” The Hitchins require 50 firm reservations by Nov. 20 to secure the venue and request that those interested in attending reserve early by emailing Trish Smith at stsmith51@gmail.com.

ized Helen’s son. But the play goes beyond exploring his psyche to examining the town’s path of personal and political destruction. “Good With People” is only about 50 minutes but leaves you far from empty, writes New York Times reviewer Ben Brantley. “It is a dense work, and you may find yourself sorting through lines and images later in a way you seldom do after a more conventional full-length play.” This is the third play the nexStage Play Reading Series has read of Harrower’s. The other two included “Blackbird,” an acclaimed play that focused on guilt and forgiveness in an encounter between a man and a woman who had had a sexual relationship when the woman was a girl. Brantley called it one of the most powerful dramas of this century. “David Harrower is a phenomenal writer—one of Scotland’s best writers. Finding his work has been one of our best discoveries,” said Director Jon Kane. The play reading kicks off the 15th season of play readings by the top playwrights working in the theater today, said Kane.

“It’s a very difficult piece for actors,” he added. “There’s a lot going on between the words, a lot of subtleties. It’s a little unusual to do a play like this, but the focus of the series is on the writing, and this has stellar writing.” tws

The Ultimate Makeover Turning humans into milkshakes and peacocks

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

ichelle Gentling looks at the picture lying on her sewing table and sees the challenge of her life. A sixth-grader has her heart set on being a strawberry milkshake this Halloween. And it’s up to Gentling to make that happen. “I never know exactly how I’m going to do it until I get started,” said Gentling. “But I know I will use a hoop and some foam. I’ll probably wrap it in clear plastic to give it a glassy look. I’ll use billowy white netting for the whipped cream. And,” Gentling picks up a gray foam tube, “I’ll turn this into a straw. “The plumbing store is my favorite place to get ideas. I can find all kinds of tubing and things with which to make costumes,” she added. Gentling is The Costume Maker. She has made mermaids, bumblebees, cupcakes and turn-of-the-century dresses for children and adults alike in the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club and productions like “My Fair Lady.” She recently expanded what she had been doing pro bono into a business to bring in extra income for the $20,000 to $30,000 it takes each year for her daughter to compete in figure skating. “I would love to get to the point where I’m busy year-round,” she said. Gentling, who grew up in Long Beach, Calif., was taught to sew by her mother on an antique Singer when she was 10. “Her mother taught her and she was forever sewing matching outfits for herself and my sister and I,” Gentling said. “I found that sewing Christmas pillows, hand dolls, purses for others gave me great joy.” Gentling established a career as an account sales representative, crafting corporate sales pitches. But she never stopped sewing. And, when she and her family moved to Sun Valley nine years ago, she began sewing Care Bears, poodles, tigers, angels and other costumes on her Bernina Activa 140 and the professional seam-sewing Serger that her husband Steve got her for Christmas.

Michelle Gentling is teaching her daughter Sheldon to sew. “I want to instill in her how much people love homemade gifts.”

She once turned her own daughter Sheldon into a diva bat with long eyelashes and bat wings that lit up. “My mom can make any animals, from an anteater to a zebra,” said Sheldon Gentling. “She also can make anything from the food groups, as well. My favorite costume was that of a peacock, which had a large fan tail in the back made out of real feathers.” This year, the 11-year-old ballet dancer wants to be a cracked, beat-up ballerina doll like that topping an old-fashioned music box. “I really don’t know where she got the idea. But once she gets an idea, there’s no turning back,” Michelle Gentling said. “I hope she never grows up so much she doesn’t want a costume.” Gentling has fielded orders from as far away as Minnesota, thanks to someone who saw her costumes in Hailey’s Fourth of July parade. A customer from Los Angeles wants six Oompa Loompa costumes for their “Willy Wonka” play. And she has gotten a plethora of Old West dress orders from Wagon Days parade participants—dresses she happily covers with the rhinestones, lace, feathers and sequins stashed away in the sewing studio in her Hulen Meadows home. She adds special touches like bustles and eyelet sleeves. She can purchase antique fabric for such dresses, but that’s pricy. Instead, she finds things like bustles and eyelet sleeves and satin fabric and period fabric with tiny flowers at conventions in places like Las Vegas. “Yes, I do lose sleep trying to figure out some of the outfits,” she said. “I do a lot of research when it comes to the Old West outfits. And, when it comes to something like the milkshake, I examine the picture the client gives me. Then, like a painter, I recreate it.” Gentling’s passion for her work is contagious, said Maureen Ott, who placed the order for the milkshake for her daughter Julia. “She has so much fun when she’s creating the costumes,” Ott said. “She’s created some of my child’s fondest childhood memories, and I can’t wait to see the costume she’s creating for my daughter this year. Her passion and creativity are in every thread of her costumes.” tws

Air Club Continues Upward Climb BY BRENNAN REGO

s the Sun Valley Air Club gears up for its first holiday season, the young business is showing no signs of leveling out an upward climb it has exhibited since beginning flight operations in February. The Club serves a demographic of air travelers who have financially outgrown commercial air travel, but who don’t quite have the disposable cash to afford a private jet or a non-club jet charter service. CEO Norman Nie said in an interview he decided to start the

second plane!” Nie said. Since February, the Club’s workhorse has been its Learjet 60, operated by Mountain Aviation out of the Atlantic Aviation terminal at Friedman Memorial Airport in Hailey. To meet high demand, the Club has also had to sub-charter other aircraft from time to time. The new plane, a Learjet 31A, is smaller than the Learjet 60 and will be cheaper to operate, Nie said. “But it flies at the same speed,” he added. “Members will pay a lower rate for the Lear 31A than the Lear 60. Now, there will always be a plane available. All of that makes flying cheaper.” The new jet will begin operations this fall, though

“[Club] members will receive exclusive initial notice of an empty leg flight for a 48-hour period,” states a recent news release from the Club. “After that, the information will be available to those who have subscribed at no charge to the Empty Leg Program.” The Empty Leg Program offers an opportunity for nonmembers to experience the Club’s services before joining and enjoy a private jet flight at a great rate, Miller said, adding that the company plans to begin extending the program to nonmembers next month. The small business also acts as a “tiny,” but not insignificant economic engine for the Valley, Miller said. The business provides jobs to eight pilots and five non-pilots (not including Nie and a New York-based CFO), buys food for its passengers at local restaurants and pays rent for office and hangar space, among other expenses. “It’s a small business, but it spends money here,” she said. “We’re making money move around this Valley. We buy a lot of fuel!”

Miller said the exact date is not yet scheduled, as it depends on receiving final approval for the aircraft from the FAA. Another new service the company is rolling out is its “Empty Leg Program,” which will allow nonmembers to fly on the Club’s empty or deadhead legs when one of its aircraft is flying with no passengers to reposition for its next flight with passengers.

Nie said the company’s next steps might include exploring whether there’s interest “lower in the economic pyramid” for a high-capacity service that could fit about 20 passengers. “People could set dates and choose seats,” he said. “We’re a long way from that, two years say.” For more information, visit sunvalleyairclub.com or call 208-720-6438.

a great journey to walk between the stacks and to be able to pull out books and find treasures within them. “The seniors said loud and clear this collection is special,” Humphries said. “Browsing for them is entertaining and comforting.

he said. “A Hispanic staff member that understands the culture would be helpful. And this is a segment of the population that culturally is not likely to come forth. So how do we go to them?” he added. Youth said they prefer reading books they can hold rather than digital books, Humphries said. They have been taught not to trust the Internet but to do research via books. Teens said they would like to be noisy but library policy doesn’t allow them to close the door and be noisy, Humphries said. That might be solved by changing the policy or building a teen center in the basement where items for The Gold Mine thrift store are currently stored. The basement also could be turned into a space for people to create things with digital sewing machines, 3-D printers, digital cameras and cooking demos. The regional history department is a treasure, but its file cabinets are intimidating, Humphries noted. The department is also not given the honor due it—that could be changed by moving it to the front of the library where the reference department now is. There is no longer the need for such a big reference department, anyway, he said, since websites have replaced the need to have every phone book in

And dozens more, including Latinos, teen-agers, members of nonprofit organizations, downtown merchants, children and educators, have participated in smaller focus groups. Contrast that with a similar-size community in Wyoming that Humphries visited a few weeks ago. Twenty-seven people turned out, he said. “The response here was unheard of,” Humphries told those who crowded into the library auditorium last Wednesday night. Humphries said that he and the library’s board of directors had heard about the things that are near and dear to patrons’ hearts, as well as proposals for changes, as they move toward a presentation designed to refine the vision that’s tentatively scheduled for Nov. 4. Several pointed out, for instance, that the fireplace which Humphries had suggested earlier might be removed is an iconic part of the library. The architect who designed the library instructed the mason to make sure it was not the typical fireplace but more like a fireplace you’d find in a mountain resort lodge, Humphries said. Many, he said, also lashed back at any suggestion of removing books from the library, saying that it was

ba between stacks.” Patrons have suggested some interesting things that are unique to the Sun Valley community, Humphries said. Some have suggested, for instance, that librarians or volunteers distribute books at The Hunger Coalition’s food distribution sites for those who might not have the means to come to the library. Book drops at bus stops would aid those in the south valley wanting to return books. Only two-10th percent of the collection is in Spanish. Most of those books were likely written by English authors and translated into Spanish, rather than by Spanish authors who can reflect the Latino culture,

the nation in stock. Humphries said the board has looked at seven different floor plans—none of which provided the perfect scenario. Suggested plans have included moving the library auditorium into the larger space currently occupied by administration. Portable walls separating that from small conference rooms could be taken down in the event of large crowds, and it would be adjacent to the restrooms so the entire library wouldn’t have to be kept open for an event at night or on Sunday. “Others scenarios propose removing the circulation desk,” he said. “It’s considered a barrier to visitors.” tws

And when the spiritual beings finish in their progression around the prayer wheel, they come out again as humans.” Everyone involved with the film volunteered their time, including cameraman John Plummer and Chris Ford, a videographer from Salt Lake City.

McEwan, a former dancer, has a master’s degree in theater and dance with emphasis on dance history and costume design. Her forte is in baroque and Japanese dance. She has designed costumes for the Albuquerque Civic Light Opera and choreographed works for the Light Opera and Albuquerque Opera Theatre. The dance camera drama, as McEwan calls it, will be featured in a celebration honoring the 20th anniversary of the Sawtooth Botanical Garden next year, as well as the 10th anniversary of the Garden of Infinite Compassion. McEwan hopes to submit it to various dance video festivals and the Sun Valley Film Festival, as well. Footlight Dance Centre Director Hilarie Neely likened it to an artistic odyssey. “It’s a journey of children and adults coming into the garden as humans and evolving into spiritual beings,” she said. “The film

McEwan hopes to raise at least $4,000 through Hatchfund to grant honorariums and cover the expenses of the costumes. Doubling that amount would allow honorariums covering the post-production process of editing footage, creating special effects and mixing the music tracts, she said. Hatchfund hosts an online micro-philanthropy platform where artists can post projects for funding. It’s similar to Kickstart and Indiegogo except that donations are tax-deductible, unlike a lot of such fundraising projects, said Neely. Neely said she can’t wait to see the finished product. “When you visit the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, the beauty you encounter there can transport you into another plane,” she said. “I see something different each time I visit, as the seasons change. It’s very reflective.”

Changing The Culture Of Violence STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

ast Tuesday a 45-year-old woman stood on the stage of the Wood River High School Performing Arts Center last week and challenged an auditorium full of high school students to use Facebook to change the culture.

Specifically, the culture that turns a blind eye to things like stalking and sexual harassment. If each of you takes a minute or two to post something on Facebook saying bullying or hitting someone is not okay, the culture will change, Dorothy Edwards told them. Dorothy Edwards is the founder of the Green Dot bystander intervention campaign, which con-

tends that everyone has the power to stop violence from happening. She was brought to the Valley by The Advocates. Edwards compared incidences of bullying and sexual assault to news reports of illness outbreaks that pop up on a map as a million red dots. The red dots symbolize each time someone is struck, shoved against the locker or a devastating rumor or

picture is posted on social media, she said. We need to match these with green dots, representing the moment when someone does something to prevent a red dot from occurring, she said. A green dot can be pulling someone aside to ask if they’re okay or praising the captain of the football team for standing up and saying how violence is not cool. “This isn’t pie in the sky because the reality is the vast majority of people in this school are not hurting someone,” she said. “You don’t agree with violence. The problem is you haven’t turned your values into action. You’re not doing anything about it.” Many youth don’t act because they’re afraid they will be embarrassed, they’re afraid of making a scene or they’re afraid the perpetrator will turn on them, Edwards said. “I don’t have any magic pill that makes these ob-

school norms by communicating values. Wear pins with a “Stop Violence” message on backpacks. Post messages on Facebook. Have the cheerleaders do a cheer: “Don’t make fun of people. That’s not cool.” “I don’t care about basketball. But when I started working at the University of Kentucky, I learned I had to care about basketball if I wanted to fit in,” Edwards told the students. “I learned within a week that basketball matters at the University of Kentucky. Let people know that non-violence matters at your school.” Edwards’ talk resonated with high school senior Kenya Schott. “I want to make a difference,” she said. Edwards said in an interview before the school assembly that targeting victims and perpetrators, as has been done in the past, doesn’t work: “So many victims are college

We can figure this out,” Dorothy Edwards told Wood River High School and Sage School students last week. “The human cost is too high not to figure this out and I honestly believe we can make a difference.”

Dorothy Edwards tells Sage School students before her talk that what she has to say is not a pie-in the-sky pep talk but about trying to have an honest conversation about things like bullying and stalking.

stacles go away. But there are things you can do no matter what your obstacles are,” Edwards said. If you can’t intervene directly, delegate someone else to do it, she said. Or diffuse the situation by distracting the perpetrator. Tell the perpetrator and the potential victim to check out your latest funny video. Write an anonymous letter to a teacher. Or, follow the example of a frat house resident who told his fraternity brother that his car was about to be towed when he saw him about to take advantage of a girl at a party, she said. Be proactive. Reset

age—you can’t tell them what to do. They’re invincible. And most men are not perpetrators.” The idea of changing a culture sounds big, she added. But the idea that each of us needs only deal with a single green dot, a single moment in time, is so much easier. “Suddenly, something very big feels very small and manageable,” she said. “Everyone can do something and little actions can make a difference. This is a disease with a cure. There is a cure.” tws

Never limit life

Motivational speaker and author Derek Clark told teen-agers this past weekend at the Church of the Big Wood that success in life comes when you refuse to give up with goals so strong that obstacles and failure only act as motivation. Clark shared several other thoughts, as well: •The toughest piece of wood is that chip on your shoulder. •You’ve got to feel to heal. •If it’s important to you, you will find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse. •Getting over a painful experience is like crossing the monkey bars. You have to let go at some point to move forward. •It’s normal to feel emotions like guilt at some point. Just don’t unpack and live there.

How to get your garden ready for winter!

SPOONER BAND, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

student spotlight

Zac Siele Catching some air

BY AL MCCORD

ith winter fast approaching we have a few recommendations for you to help ensure that you are ready for spring planting.

~ First ~ Water the plants adequately throughout the fall months so they do not enter winter under drought stress. Water once weekly, supplying 1 inch of water to the bed, which will moisten the soil to about a 6-inch depth. (This can be determined by sticking your finger into the soil). Weekly deep watering encourages the plants to form deep roots, which makes them better able to handle winter temperatures. ~ Second ~ Weed the bed completely just before or right after the first fall frost and rake up any leaves lying around the plants. Pull up all weeds by the roots and dispose of them. Remove the weeds and leaves to prevent pests from using this plant material as a winter home. ~ Third ~ Cut off the dead stems of most perennial flowers and plants. Prune them off at ground level or 1 to 2 inches above the soil. Prune any shrubs or trees that require fall pruning as well, as old branches are more prone to breakage and disease in the winter. Dispose of or compost all the removed plant matter. ~ Fourth ~ Cover beds with a 2- to 4-inch layer of straw mulch once the ground begins to freeze. Mulch preserves moisture as well as prevents temperature fluctuations in the soil. Maintaining even soil temperature and moisture prevents frost heaves and damage to root systems. ~ Tips and Warnings ~ Unless specifically required for the particular plant, do not fertilize in fall or early winter. This encourages new growth on the plant that won’t be able to survive winter weather. Always verify the exact requirements for a plant before pruning; otherwise, you may prune at the wrong time or remove the wrong branches, which can kill or damage a tree or shrub.

ac Siele, a Wood River High School senior, gets his kicks out of catching air. To pursue that goal, he has become a top freestyle skier honing his craft on Bald Mountain and around the country. “Doing it [freestyle skiing] is the only thing that keeps my mind off of anything,” Siele said. “It’s an adrenaline rush and the mountain gives me a surreal feeling that I can’t find anywhere else.” Siele grew up in the Wood River Valley, and both of his parents are holistic doctors. “I really love it here and it’s been a great place to grow up but I’m ready to go to college and start a new chapter in my life,” he said. “What’s amazing about here is the lifestyle and the activities that we have. Foremost is the access to the mountain, but I also love mountain biking, wakesurfing and wakeboarding, longboarding and crossfit training.” Siele also appreciates the small-town feel of the Valley, though he admits that sometimes life can get a bit too slow-paced in the area. “It can also get boring here at times. We spend a lot of time contemplating what to do and sometimes we come up with stuff and sometimes boredom gets the best of us,” he says with a laugh. “But I know I don’t want to live in a city. Being in a mountain town is what I’m used to. I may end up in a town bigger than this, but in a city you have to drive a long way to activities. I also like that in a small town you really get to develop close relationships with certain people. Sometimes you don’t have a choice.”

Siele learned to ski at the age of 3 on Quarter Dollar and moved to full Dollar at 4 and then Baldy at 6. He joined the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation team at nine. He has always done freestyle or mogul skiing. “The competitions are broken down into three categories—25 percent of your score is on getting air, 25 percent on speed and 50 percent on style,” he said. “There are three sections to the course, with moguls and jumps, and the top and bottom sections together are as long as the middle.” Training includes a lot of cross-fit and summer skiing at Mount Hood in Oregon. In the winter, the ski team travels every weekend to compete. There are roughly a hundred skiers on the team, total, but Siele skis on the competition team, which is comprised of about six skiers. “I was in third grade when my mom encouraged me to do it,” he said. “She was an Olympic ski racer. The first day I didn’t want to do it at all, and she convinced me to do one run. Then, I didn’t want to stop. In seventh grade, I really got into it and things started getting serious. I improved a lot and got kind of good and I guess I developed a relationship with my coach and really enjoyed it. In ninth grade I made the competition team, where we train six days a week in the winter.” Siele was ranked 33rd at the U.S. Nationals and ninth for all freestyler skiers 18 and under. But even with that, he might “give it all up and go to college.” “I have to think about life after skiing,” he said. “I want to have a career where I can make a difference in the world.”

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR OCTOBER 22 FROM PICABO ANGLER

eautiful fall days with intermittent clouds mean Baetis! This time of year expect to see Baetis on the Creek, Baetis on the Wood, Baetis on the South Fork, Baetis on the Lost… maybe check your bathtub—there could be Baetis in there as well! The Fall Baetis is a wonderful little bug, with the emphasis on ‘little’ not wonderful. O.K., they are wonderful in the sense that they bring up all the fish in the river when they blanket our local waters in the fall. They are little, though—very little; size 22 and 24 are the norm. On freestone rivers like the Wood and Upper Lost, anglers can get by with Gulper Specials, Parachute Adams, Standard Adams, or any of your favorite BWO patterns. When you head for the South Fork, Silver Creek and the Lower Lost, be prepared for more technical patterns. Think Baetis Cripples, CDC Fan-wing Biots, and any Rene Harrop pattern. We really like the extended body patterns in the fall, fished on an open loop so they can swing freely on the surface. Now, a word about the color red. The fall is spawning season for two major species in our area—brown trout and Kokanee. Both of these fall spawners are dumping a lot of red- and even orange-colored eggs in the rivers. Furthermore, the red-skinned Kokanee die after they spawn, also filling the rivers with little bits of red and orange flesh as they decay. These are both great food sources for trout; fish begin to key on the color right about now and for the next few weeks. With that said, be sure if you can’t find a hatch condition with rising fish, then Nymphing with the color red can lead to banner days on the stream. Keep in mind here that the color is what they care about. A San Juan Worm fished under an indicator is as effective as any Egg Pattern. Some of our favorite red flies include the San Juan Worm, Red Copper John, Red Brassies and Red Zebra Nymphs. Finally, be prepared right now. Bring extra dry clothes when you travel to fish. Have fingerless gloves and a hat. Put your rain parka in your vest or bag. Have a full tank of gas when you travel out of the valley, as well as tire chains. Most of all, stay on top of current conditions and don’t get caught in our first winter storm, whenever that may be! Happy fishing, everyone!

s winter jogs into place this season, some worry about depression falling along with the snow and dark days. Here are a few tips that work to sustain happiness this winter. For folks that come alive in a magical white landscape, you’ll recognize yourself in these tips yet can also use them to deepen your happy state. The first step is to decide that you want to be happy and make that your priority rather than expect sadness. Expectations for good outcomes actually align personal intention with positive action, and joy increases. Since you become what you think about most of the time, it’s vital to see yourself content in winter regardless of how possible you think this is for you. Setting positive hope out of the gate gives energy to what you want—not what you don’t want. This rosy mindset offsets the seasonal mental trap of worrying about depression, which ac-

tually brings it on quicker. Next, study people who enjoy winter. You’ll hear how they look forward to skiing, their hope for a banner “snow apocalypse,” anticipation of seeing icy spindrift against a blue sky or eagerness for the abundant sunshine Sun Valley gets in winter, or excitement to finally make time to read “The Count of Monte Cristo” in front of a crackling fire. The preoccupation for the romance and passion for the season becomes obvious. Apply what they do to set up further positive expectations in your life. Thirdly, socialize with loved ones more because that stimulates parts of the brain wired for joy; neurochemicals are released that trigger happiness and prime the brain for optimism. No worries if you’re shy or so new to town that you haven’t yet developed a deep social life, either. Findings indicate that even casual interactions benefit. Our brains have huge appetites for social contact and with even simple gestures such as smiling at someone or

receiving a nod from a passerby, it feeds those parts of the brain related to happiness and joy. These gestures all soothe anxiety, give hope, and provide a larger social context that contributes to brighter moods. The brain’s voracious appetite is always in a steady state of emotional digestion, so connect away. Lastly, pay your positive feelings forward. Giving, compared to receiving, deposits more joy in personal emotional accounts than any activity. Include a new friend in your circle, give an authentic compliment to another, show a grin to someone, or ask someone to share their life story. There are many who could use a smile today. You can now offer that while reinforcing your own positive emotional bank account. Make this a win-win winter.

Christina Tindle, an M.A. in Hailey and Ketchum, specializes in happiness, leadership, creativity, health, wealth and peak performance.

Are You Eligible For HARP? BY ANA TORRES

hen we say HARP, we aren’t talking about the beautiful stringed instruments that angels play, but it may seem like a guardian angel for the homeowner struggling to make his or her mortgage payments. Instead, we are referring to the Home Affordable Refinance Program, a federal government program designed to help homeowners refinance their homes at today’s more favorable and lower mortgage rates, even when those homeowners owe as much or more than their home is actually worth. If you’re eligible for the program, you can reduce your monthly payment by lowering the interest rate, or you can convert your variable mortgage into a more predictable fixed-loan program. As a third option, you can do a HARP refinance to get into a shorter-term loan, which will help you build up the equity you have in your home faster than you would otherwise. So, how do you qualify? In order to qualify for a HARP

refinance, you have to meet all of the criteria below: •Your mortgage must be owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. •Your mortgage must have been sold to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae on or before 31 May 2009. •Your mortgage must not have been refinanced previously under HARP, unless it is a Fannie Mae loan refinanced under HARP from March to May of 2009. •Your current loan-tovalue (LTV) ratio must be greater than 80%. •You must be current on the mortgage at the time of the refinance, and you must have had a good payment history for the 12 months prior to the refinance. You will also need to contact your mortgage servicer, which is the company you make your payments to, if they participate in HARP. There are a few mortgage servicers who do not participate in HARP, so this is very important. You can also contact Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae for help in determining whether or not you are eligible for a HARP refinance. An even easier option, though, will be to give us a call. We can go

through all of the eligibility requirements with you, and let you know whether or not you qualify for a HARP refinance. We can also help you to understand what your new payments would be under a HARP refinance. Whether you are seeking to lower your monthly payment or build more equity in your home at a faster pace, a HARP refinance can be a useful tool for your financial stability. Look at all of the options and guidelines. Ana Torres is the Broker/ Owner of Mortgage Solutions in Bellevue. For more information, visit mortgage-solutions.us or call 208-788-8800.

The Blatant County News has never won any awards, nor do we plan to. Our only goal is to not win (or lose) any lawsuits, so please, pretty, pretty please, DO NOT sue us.

Is it just beautiful out or what? I mean just look at the sky – flawless. There might be snow on the big peaks in the SNRA but here in the valley we have perfect fall weather. That’s why everyone is walking around with their heads toward the sky. Speaking of that, the elections are just two weeks away and every politician is “blue-skying” their résumés and their plans for the future. These folks are as pure as the fallen snow and, according to them, have never done anything wrong in their life. Don’t we wish we could say that with a straight face? Then we could run for office, as well. With a sky like this, we could.

Then there’s the World Series coming next week with the two wild card teams, the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals, both not given a chance in the grand finale and, yet, here they are representing “The Boys of October.” And, the weather couldn’t be better.

Staring at the sky is a popular pastime now for lovers, children and passed-out alcoholics. Lovers woo, children play and drunks squint and swear off the evil spirits forever. And, all three groups are happy and filled with hope and promise. They all believe that their days will be sunny and bright and good things are coming.

College and professional football are well into their seasons and the skies couldn’t have been more favorable. Clear days and solid fields have made for an exciting season thus far. The bookmakers in Vegas are having a field day predicting the scores and Skyping the results. Everyone is full of great expectations. It’s the sky, I tell ya’.

Halloween is just around the corner and “The Eve” promises to be a clear night of wonder as its celebrators – young and old – don their costumes and prepare to gather sweets and dance in the light of the moon. It’s a good time of the century to fall in love and a good time of the year to stay outside and not spend money. In the final analysis, it seems like our moods swing upward as we witness the October sky in Blatant County. If we were in the city, we would most likely miss it. But we don’t. We live here. Nice talking to you.

crap!

OCTOBER SKY

LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23) Everyone will make fun of your “man purse” this week until you bust out a flask of whiskey, a bag of weed, a bong, milk & cookies and a cheese plate. SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 23) You believe that animals are better than people because they can’t talk. SAGITTARIUS: (November 24 - December 21) You think that a scary costume idea would be “eye contact.” CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20) This week you’ll only Skype with your friends’ pets. AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19) You’ll see some Jehovah’s Witnesses knock on someone’s door and run away this week. PISCES: (February 20 - March 20) This week is one of those weeks that when you turn the light on, you’ll find it’s already on. ARIES: (March 21 - April 20) You believe that, perhaps, a new hat will keep the dark thoughts at bay. It won’t. TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21) You’re tired of things costing money.

LAWYER LETTER Dear Mrs. Green: Over the past 10 months, your husband Royce has been causing quite a commotion in our Twin Falls store. We cannot tolerate this type of behavior and, as a result, will ban your entire family from shopping in any of our stores if even one more incident occurs. We have documented all incidents on our video surveillance equipment. Three of our clerks are currently attending counseling from the trouble your husband has caused. All complaints against Mr. Green have been compiled and are listed below. Mr. Wally Brown Complaint Department MEMO Re: Mr. Green –complaints– Things Mr. Royce Green has done while his wife was shopping: 1. Nov.15, 2013: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking. 2. Nov. 23, 2013: Set all of the alarm clocks in the housewares to go off at five-minute intervals. 3. Dec. 10, 2013: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, “Code 3 in housewares!” ... and watched what happened. 4. Jan. 23, 2014: Went to the service desk and asked to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway. 5. Jan. 23, 2014: Moved a “caution wet floor” sign to a carpeted area. 6. Jan. 27, 2014: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the restrooms. 7. Feb. 15, 2014: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he would invite them in if they bring pillows from the bedding department. 8. March 5, 2014: When a clerk asked if she could help him, he threw himself down on the floor, began to cry, and wailed, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?" 9. March 26, 2014: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, and picked his nose. 10. April 2, 2014: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked the clerk if he “knows where the antidepressants are.” 11. April 15, 2014: Started around the store, looking around suspiciously while loudly humming the “Mission Impossible” theme. 12. April 23, 2014: In the auto department, practices "Madonna look" using different-sized funnels. 13. May 1, 2014: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled, “Pick me! pick me!” 14. July 12, 2014: One announcement came over the loudspeaker, he assumed the fetal position and screamed, "No! No! Sheila! It's those voices again!!!!" And last, but not least, just today… 15. Oct.17, 2014: Went into a fitting room, shut the door and waited a while; then yelled very loudly, "Hey, somebody! I need some toilet paper in here!"

You cut in front of me at Starbucks in May of 2009. I finally thought of a witty response. Call me. Quick Survey: “Help Me!” If we are what we eat, most of us are food.

The Advocates, ETC

A Call To Action

BY BRADY DELGADILLO

he National Coalition Against Domestic Violence statistics show that on a typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide. Here at our local shelter, The Advocates, we receive 60 calls or walk-ins a day for assistance. Each day in Idaho more than 519 victims of domestic violence and their children seek safety and services from community-based domestic violence programs. In 2013, there were 14 domestic-violence-related fatalities in Idaho. One in three women will experience intimate partner violence in their life time. Statistics in our community are on par with these numbers. Really think about that—one in three. That’s a neighbor, a co-worker, your sister, your daughter’s best friend. Here is something that I know; domestic violence is not some incurable disease. It is not some cultural change that we cannot make happen. The power to end domestic violence and abuse is in the palms of each one of us and the community as a whole. In order to help end domestic violence, the simple act of speaking out is capable of making change. When you speak out against sexist jokes, refuse to support media that objectifies women, and outwardly go against the attitudes and institutions that allow violence to

happen, you are showing others that these actions are unacceptable here. In order for domestic violence and abuse to not be a standard in our society, one must speak out. Showing support for victims of violence is also answering the call to take

action. This can be done through many ways; attend public awareness events, be informed of where victims can receive help, and educate the younger generation about violence prevention. Teaching the younger generation about violence prevention is a major key to decreasing domestic violence in the future because

they will know, since their childhood ages, that it is not a cultural norm and is not acceptable in society to use violence against another person. Teach our children not only what an unhealthy, abusive relationship is, but also what a healthy relationship looks like, feels like, sounds like. Have discussions with them about current events, like Ray Rice or Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland. Talk about violence to your children. Spread a cool bystander video. Find out about your local resources. Check in with someone the next time you hear a rumor there may be abuse happening in a co-worker’s relationship. Each individual action counts toward a culture change to a community without violence. Just like the Green Dot motto says, “We don’t have to do everything, but we all must do something.”

movie review

‘Love Is Strange’ JON RATED THIS MOVIE

BY JONATHAN KANE “Love Is Strange,” the excellent new drama from Ira Sachs, is not for everybody. But those looking for serious work and accomplished acting of the highest order should look no further. The acting comes in the form of Alfred Molina and John Lithgow—two of the best actors working today. Playing a gay couple of 39 years, their lives come unraveled when they decide to take advantage of the legal shift in society and get married. Lithgow is a retired painter in his mid-seventies and Molina, in his late sixties, teaches music at a Roman Catholic school—a job he loses when

Love Hurts

their relationship becomes official. You might think that the story is essentially about gay marriage, but that is only a jumping-off point for a complex story about families, whether by blood or by friendship. After losing his job, the couple now lose their apartment and are forced to rely on the good graces of close acquaintances. Molina moves in with young gay cops deep into their partying prime. Lithgow moves in with his nephew, Darren Burrows, and his novelist wife Marisa Tomei, and their teenage boy, an excellent Charlie Tahan, in Brooklyn. The couple, split apart, tries valiantly to survive and deal with the hard work of trying to rebuild

BRIEF

‘Lunafest’ To Return Next Month

their lives. Lithgow’s predicament forms the heart of the story. Burrows and Tomei’s marriage already seems to be under stress and Lithgow move into their lives doesn’t help. Especially troubled is the young boy who must now share his bunk bed with his aging uncle. In one of the film’s most touching moments the two share a late-night conversation about falling in love that seems to underscore the whole film. Sachs has written a terrific screenplay with Mauricio Zacharias and the movie is gorgeously scored to Chopin. But the real stars are the two leads that deliver knockout performances. It’s a can’t-miss for serious devotees of cinema.

n spite of stifling an instinct to swear at L.A. traffic, I am content with my weekend there celebrating an experience from decades ago. About 200 people were at UCLA to launch the publication of a book chronicling Project India (PI) from 1952 to 1969. We gathered to celebrate this compilation of letters, biographies, journals, and interviews with dozens of participants and academic and government sources. PI has been credited for being a model for the Peace Corps. How to explain the drama of this experience for the participating UCLA students? Imagine a generation unfamiliar with air travel, embarking on a prop-plane trip for 48 hours’ flight time, to exotic India, then spanning that continent on trains surrounded at stops by the cries of beggars and vendors. There were no cellphones to call home—just each other and letter and journal writing to put our culture shock in some kind of comprehensible form. However, for the 14 members each year divided into two teams of seven (representing varied religious, ethnic and academic backgrounds) and sent to different parts of India to interact with college students, it was a life-transforming experience. Why do I so treasure my contacts with other PI-ers after all these years? The vast majority of them maintained their youthful altruism. For example, Sister Diane Donoghue, who, after meeting Mother Theresa in Calcutta, became a nun, establishing Esperanza, a flourishing community in East Los Angeles for the nurture of Hispanic families, or Ed Peck, who joined the foreign service, spending years in Iraq, or Marty Rosen, founder of the Trust for Public Land, and so many others: college presidents, journalists, social workers, teachers—caring people whose 10 weeks in India profoundly reinforced their ideals. Our Japanese American students, many surviving World War II “relocation

camps,” retained a patriotism enabling them to turn grief into positive action for the USA. While I didn’t change the world, I did enhance my understanding of different cultures. Since then, I have adored teaching and traveling to places where I could combine my adventurous nature with living among and learning about other peoples, joining the Peace Corps at the age of 53, and volunteering with Make A Difference, an orphanage in Tanzania, Africa. Of course I enjoy other kinds of travel, too, but this is the way that young girl from Burbank, California, the resident WASP on my team, decided to embrace the vast world. Six from our team of seven are still alive to share a rare kinship. It was worth L.A. freeway angst to be with them once again. tws

What Is A Mountain Person? BY DICK DORWORTH

Botanical Garden Thanks Volunteers The Sawtooth Botanical Garden and The Senior Connection are extending a thank you to volunteers who participated in the organizations’ fourth annual “Growing and Giving” program on Oct. 18, which provides fall yard cleanup to those in need. “We want to thank the local landscaping companies who donated their time, crews and materials: All Seasons Landscaping, Branching Out, Mountain High Landscapes, Nichols Landscapes and Webb Landscaping,” states a recent news release from the Botanical Garden. “In addition, our thanks to the volunteers from the Flourish Foundation and our board of directors for their support. We were able to clean up the yards of five residents at no charge to them to get their homes looking great and ready for winter.” Courtesy photo 20

he question sometimes arises in mountain communities, “What is a mountain person?” Certainly, simply dwelling in the mountains or in a mountain town does not make one a ‘mountain person,’ just as residing in a city does not eliminate one’s mountain personhood. Jimmy Chin, for example, one of the world’s best-known professional mountaineers and mountain photographers, lives with his wife and child in New York City. No two people will answer such a question the same, but here are a few of my own reflections and observations. Thanks are given to Chomolungma and Miyo Lungsangma that the question isn’t who is a mountain person. The answer to that can only be made by each mountain person for him or her self. First, a mountain person is made, not born. Everyone arrives in this life a helpless hunk of flesh and blood with a brain one third the size of its parents’ and no more care for, appreciation of or love for mountains and harmonious mountain living than a Pacific bivalve mollusk. Mountain people

have evolved in accordance with the demands of survival. In evolutionary terms, today’s mountain person is descended from the first amphibious creatures that finally got tired of fighting for a bit of oxygen below sea level and crawled up on land looking for more oxygen and just kept crawling toward high country without contemplating too carefully the fact that the higher you get, the less oxygen there is. A mountain person, like all the other kinds, is not without contradictions but keeps on crawling, learning about the community of local humans, birds, beasts, trees, rivers, lakes, rocky mountain peaks, alpine meadows, ecosystems and water tables and, along the way, why a healthy forest and a hillside without structures on it are beautiful, and that nature’s beauty is an end in itself. It is a tradition as old as the climb from the sea to the highest peak and its journey up is not always pretty, easy, fast or chic. It’s a slow process that takes place at a mountainous pace and won’t be rushed. It takes awhile for the most well-intentioned, dedicated mountain person to learn the value of organic respect for the priceless gifts that mountains offer

those who live within, visit from time to time and gaze upon from the valley, a reverence perhaps best expressed by Sir Edmund Hillary, one of the first two people to summit Mt. Everest: “It’s not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” A friend who lives in a city is fond of saying “… because I am a mountain woman” in attribution to some of her best, most transcendent experiences “… simply because of the feelings I get when I’m ‘there,’ although I like to think it means I am also strong. I would think that anyone who has experienced being on a mountain, looking out on the world, would have these feelings … I love pure air even if it is thinner.” Many years ago, while living in a well-known mountain town in a different state from Idaho, I was interviewed by a writer for a national publication. He commented that the town seemed to lack “soul.” I didn’t agree with him but acknowledged his point and replied, “Perhaps, but there are many soulful people here,” and I offered some names. A mountain person has soul. Don’t you think? tws
