‘No Turning Back’ Warren Miller offers annual ode to skiing

Ghoulish Glee Halloween Festivities Scheduled Across Valley

BY KAREN BOSSICK

arren Miller started launching the ski season in 1949 with films exhorting, “Go ski, people.” “If you don’t do it this year, you’ll be one year older when you do,” he has reminded people year after year. Warren Miller’s 65th film, “No Turning Back,” will officially launch the 2014-15 ski season in Sun Valley with showings Saturday and Sunday in the Sun Valley Opera House. Sun Valley is the only place in Idaho where you can catch the newest Warren Miller flick. It shows at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. Saturday and 5 p.m. Sunday. Attendees will have a chance to win ski vacations, gear and other prizes. Ketchum film editor Kim Schneider, aided by sons Travis and Kyle, has strung together some nearly two hours of adrenaline-charged footage that focuses on unique pockets of skiing around the world set to pulsating beats served up by musical icons like Ketchum’s Steve Miller. Sun Valley’s own Mike Hattrup, now an executive with K2, stars in a breathtaking segment featuring hop turns in chutes on the Aiguille du Midi, 13,000 feet above the valley floor in Chamonix, France. Skiing through the whiteout from your armchair will be worth it when you see the reward—a steaming plate of lasagna topped by eggs sunny-side up. Tyler Ceccanti and Josh Bibby discover how unpredictable skiing with Greece’s mythical gods can be as they are humbled by Zeus’s Throne on Greece’s Mount Olympus, high above 2,500-year-old ruins and cobblestone villages. The upside, they note, is it’s a place you can break dishes, rather than wash them after you eat. Rob Kingwill and Seth Wescott float powder-specific boards through the face-shot “Japow” utopia of Japan’s north island of Hokkaido where, Kingwill notes, there’s so much snow every day that it’s nearly impossible to film. Schneider has combined intriguing historic photos with a spot on big-mountain skiing in Cordova, Alaska—where the mountain peels away in an avalanche.

arn-evil. It’s what haunts the woods lining Bellevue this year. Expect the scariest elements of traveling freak shows, carnivals and fairs tonight and Thursday as The Howard Preserve comes alive with spooks and goblins designed to scare the pants off of those brave enough to venture therein. “This is our seventh annual Bellevue Haunted Forest. We’ve got a hundred volunteers either behind the scenes making costumes and things or posing as live actors,” said Tammy Schofield, who owns Hailey’s Bead Shop. “We’ve got a lot of newcomers, as well, and it’s so fun because they hang out and get inspired and then old-timers like myself feed off their energy.” The Bellevue Haunted Forest raised about $7,000 last year, most of which went toward maintaining the preserve along the Big Wood River that was restored by the Wood River Land Trust, the City of Bellevue and the Howard family.

Hailey merchants started the event several years ago to offer children a safer alternative to trick or treating in the dark.

Some of the money will also be used for a free Thanksgiving meal open to all comers, Schofield said, “because nothing is more scary than wondering where your next meal is coming from.” The event is one of a handful of Halloween events taking place in the Valley. •The Haunted Forest kicks things off tonight and Thursday. Sun Valley Ballet will set the mood by performing “Thriller” at the Elm Street gate every half-hour from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Gates open at 5:30 and close at 9:15 p.m. a block off Main Street on Elm Street. Children under 5 will not be admitted. It’s recommended that families with young children attend before dark. Tickets are $7. Five hundred tickets per night are available in advance at Splash & Dash and Mahoney’s in Bellevue and at The Bead Shop in Hailey. They also are available by calling 208-788-6770.

Let There Be Light YMCA installs eco-friendly LEDs

BY MARYLAND DOLL

s summer transitioned to winter and the fall leaves began to light up the Wood River Valley, the Wood River Community YMCA also made some bright new changes of its own. The recreation center’s new Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lighting system, which it installed at the end of September, will reduce the facility’s energy consumption by about 300,000 kilowatt-hours (kwh) and save it about $22,000 per year. “That’s the equivalent of powering 20 homes per year,” said CEO Jason Fry in an interview. “There’s no doubt in my mind that LED is the future of lighting. It’s the epitome of doing more with less.” The LED system is not only less expensive to maintain and better for the environment, but also provides better lighting. The

LED fixtures also last much longer (about 8-9 years) than conventional bulbs, requiring less babysitting. “The quality is better, the consistency is better, and LED is so much brighter that we can have fewer fixtures on and it’s still brighter than before,” Fry said. The new fixtures have definitely not gone unnoticed by YMCA members. Every day, people ask Fry questions about the new lighting, and many of them are now considering making the switch to LED themselves, Fry said. “LED is more expensive, but the payback is fairly short,” he said. “We expect the lights to pay for themselves in about two and a half to three years.” Although Idaho Power was able to help the YMCA by providing a $40,000 rebate for the cost of the switch, the YMCA is still doing some fundraising to help foot the bill. Those interested in helping the YMCA pay for the remain-

der of the LED system can make a donation on the organization’s website at woodriverymca.org or stop in and talk with someone in person about how to get involved. The replacement of over 800 light bulbs seems to be just the beginning for the YMCA in its efforts to make the both the organization and the Sun Valley area more eco-friendly. The recreation center also hopes to break ground on a new greenhouse this spring, and Fry says next on the docket will most likely be a complete overhaul of the air conditioning/heating system. For that project, the YMCA is considering systems such as solar/thermal heating and AC, co-generation, a high-efficiency boiler and other options that—just like the LED project did—would maximize energy efficiency and minimize costs. tws

Speed skiing under canopy in St. Moritz, Switzerland, is highlighted, along with a trip through the archipelago of snow-covered mountains in Lofoten, Norway, where the history of skiing dates back to 3200 B.C. And, as always, there’s a look back at the days when fun antics like snow marching bands, mountain bike dominos and even a skier on fire reigned supreme.

The Center To Screen ‘Finding Vivian Maier’

The Sun Valley Center for the Arts and Magic Lantern Cinemas will host a screening of the critically acclaimed documentary “Finding Vivian Maier “on Thursday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m. at the Magic Lantern, located at 100 2nd Street West in Ketchum. The film tells the story of an “enigmatic” nanny (according to the release), born in 1926, who secretly took over 100,000 photographs. “Her work was hidden in storage lockers and remained undiscovered for decades — until 2007, just two years before her death, when it was discovered at a local thrift auction house on Chicago’s Northwest Side,” the release states. “Maier is now considered among the 20th century’s greatest photographers.” Tickets cost $10 for Center members and $12 for nonmembers. To purchase tickets in advance, visit sunvalleycenter.org or call 208726-9491. Pending availability, tickets may also be purchased at the box office the evening of the screening.

Building It So The Fish Will Come STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

utch Harper stood in a 2-foot-wide section of Lake Creek and kicked a rock against a log that he and others had just placed in the icy stream. It’s his hope that repositioning natural logs and rocks into the stream three miles north of Ketchum will make the creek more livable for the native Wood River sculpin, rainbow trout and wild brook trout that use it. “In a word, what fish like is deep, slow-moving water with overhead cover,” said fellow volunteer Nick Cox, who calls himself a river busybody. “They like bumpy water, bubbles, logs, overhang. Here, if they get 6 to 8 inches of water, it’s considered good. The Big Wood River, by comparison, offers at least a foot and a half of water.” Harper and Cox were among 20 volunteers from Trout Unlimited, the Forest Service and Wood River Land Trust who recently braved icicles hanging along the bank to restore the creek, which had been damaged by grazing and erosion from weather. They installed about 50 structures and laid freshcut pines along a threequarter-mile section of the creek in Lake Creek Canyon. “I’m impressed with the number of volunteers who helped,” said Chad Chorney, the Big Wood project manager for the Arlington, Va.-based Trout Unlimited. “They worked hard and fast. They impressed me with their passion and dedication.” The project was instigated by Cox, Harper and Mark Malkovich, who wanted to create another fly-fishing opportunity for youngsters. The pond that lies above the creek is already a popular fishing spot for youngsters and their families. “Families use the lake all

the time—it’s a beautiful setting,” said Ed Northen, a volunteer with Trout Unlimited. The Ketchum Ranger District was able to secure funding for the project from the Forest Service’s Resource Advisory Committee. “It’s fun for us. We like to do community projects—these projects are the reason we got into this job,” said Erika Phillips, a fisheries biologist for the U.S. Forest Service in Ketchum. The group created pools by anchoring log barbs into the banks and raking up rocks with a McLeod rake, a two-sided blade with teeth and hoe which firefighters use to rake fire lines and cut branches and sod. They brought two pickups full of wood from nearby hillsides to accommodate the fish, which even come upstream from the Big Wood River. The fish will be able to find hiding places under undercut banks as a result of the work, said Trout Unlimited member Carmen Northen. Next May Chorney and Phillips hope to enlist schoolchildren and other community volunteers in planting willows along the stream, which currently has no vegetation covering it save for the evergreens that workers laid across the stream. The willows will help shade the stream, keeping the water cooler for the fish. They will attract insects for the fish to eat. And they will provide cover from eagles and other raptors. “If you have good habitat, the fish can hang out and get larger,” said Phillips. “That’s what we want.” tws

The Super Business After Hours will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Atlantic Aviation terminal and hangar just south of Friedman Memorial Airport’s main terminal in Hailey. Pizza and drinks will be served. Mike Rasch, chief financial officer for Atlantic Aviation, will discuss what goes on in a fixed base operation like Atlantic Aviation’s. And Julie Miller and Eiron Schofield will talk about the new Sun Valley Air Club, which has flown more than 200 private flights for local business people and others since it launched flight operations with a Lear 60 10 months ago “It’s my hope that when the event is over, attendees will have a better idea what goes on at the non-terminal portion of the operation,” said Gary Hoffman, who revived the Ketchum/Sun Valley BAH a few months ago. “I want people to get a chance to look around the jets, take a peek inside Atlantic Aviation’s commodious hangar and look around the lounge which has all the amenities you would expect and some you might not expect.” Schofield said attendees will be able to meet some of the Sun Valley-based pilots who fly Sun Valley Air Club’s two jets, including the new Lear 31A that will be on display. Sun Valley Air Club will also announce the details of its new Empty Leg Program for non-members during the BAH. The program will enable non-members to fly on empty or deadhead legs when an aircraft is flying with no passengers in order to reposition for its next flight. The Air Club also is offering a 31X31 discount on one-time initiation fees for new members until Oct. 31. To learn more about either program, call Schofield, the club’s membership director, at 208-720-6438 or email eiron@svairclub.com. Hoffman said he has contacted the Hailey and Bellevue Chambers to encourage a strong showing of their members for the business networking event. “One reason to have it at the airport is to encourage a joint effort of Valley businesses north and south,” he said. “The idea of Valley businesses sharing knowledge and networking together is the driving force behind a revitalized Business After Hours for the North Valley. Partnering with South Valley businesses is a local and important part of that process.” tws

Old Lands, New View Author To Discuss U.S. Role In Middle East

“Fault Lines” author and Hailey resident Don Liebich. Courtesy photo

P.M. FADDEN

ews content concerning the Middle East has become common topic matter from current media outlets, but Hailey resident Don Liebich’s nonfiction narrative “Fault Lines: The Layman’s Guide to Understanding America’s Role in the Ever-Changing Middle East” offers a fresh look at the familiar subject. Liebich will discuss his book during a lecture on Thursday at 6 p.m. at The Community Library in Ketchum, located at 415 Spruce Avenue in Ketchum. Liebich will speak on current affairs in the Middle East—from the civil war in Syria to the conflict between Israel and Palestine to the rise of ISIS—and will also be joined by Library Programs Manager Scott Burton, who holds an MSc degree in Middle East Politics from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. “ ‘Fault Lines’ is the story of U.S. policy, its change in status within the Middle East, and what I feel has caused this alteration and what potential future solutions may exist,” Liebich said in an interview. “In Fault Lines, I wish to inform readers of the misconceptions being fed to the U.S. population through media sources.” Before becoming an author, Liebich began his young adult years in the Navy. Following his military service, Liebich lead a business career and would transition to a consultation practice that aids and advises internationally. “As a consultant, I had the opportunity to visit many different regions,” Liebich said, citing locations such as Russia, Venezuela, Jordan, Israel and Iran. “My journey was one of discovery in that it was a personal path which lead me into contact with local residents and businesses, all of whom had their own tales to tell.” During his travels, Liebich formed relationships with Hamas groups, NGOs, and businesses. “I realized that stories I was hearing via word of mouth were different from the portrayals of the same issues by Western media,” he said. The core of existing misunderstandings is the failure to address three critical points when “intervening in another country’s affairs,” Liebich argues. According to “Fault Lines,” those points are: • Be very careful before getting in. • Be aware of unintended consequences. • Be careful of how you get out.

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

In 2007, Liebich began a blog focusing on his international work and overseas experiences. “The initial intent was to better interpret and understand for myself what was to be learned from what I had seen and heard,” he said. The blog grew in participant numbers, media attention and in reaching foreign readership. “My underlying goal was/is to provide the general public with readable information which is both clear and factual,” Liebich said. Liebich’s current emphasis is the promotion of Fault Lines. Though hesitant to discuss any future plans or aspirations, Liebich says that “any forward work will be based on continued research and study,” and “information regarding the Middle East is already extensive. I am looking to contribute to the existing topic material in a new way.” For more information on Liebich or the event, visit tinyurl.com/tws-liebich. tws

She was “On Assignment: Sun Valley.” Pesky was one of a dozen professional and amateur photographers who recently spent four days learning how to document Sun Valley and the Trailing of the Sheep Festival as if they were shooting for a magazine article. Their teachers: “National Geographic” creative photographer Jonathan Kingston, a Bend, Ore., photographer who is a photo instructor for Lindblad/National Geographic Expeditions. And Krista Rossow, a National Geographic creative and freelance photographer living near Eugene, Ore. “I can’t get enough of Jonathan,” said Sue Dumke, a professional photographer from Sun Valley who has worked one on one with Kingston since 2007. “He’s the best.” After a meet-and-greet over wine and hors d’oeuvres at Nina Fox’s spacious Haute Wrap studio in

Ketchum, the group fanned out at first light to capture sunrise shots. “Photograph a travel story about Sun Valley. Show iconic places of Sun Valley—what makes Sun Valley different from Bend, Ore. Make people want to go there,” Kingston charged them. “Get a variety of shots—the face of a girl, a landscape shot, a place to stay…” “We want our photos to take you there,” added Rossow, who looked through thousands of photos for each story as a former photo editor for “National Geographic Traveler.” Key to the assignment was finding a unique angle or hook. Gay Odmark, an artist who runs clothing boutiques, zeroed in on the festival’s fabric workshops. Michelle Praggatis chose a farm-to-table theme. In the old days, Kingston told the group, you had to use stick shift to drive to the supermarket. Automatic transmission makes the trip easier. Photography is becoming the same way, thanks to improved automatic capabilities. “But it still matters what you put in the frame and when you push the shutter,” he added. Kingston encouraged students to enhance their pictures by staying with their subject “until you see something that turns your head.”

“What can be better than a close-up of a camel? Wait until he smiles,” he said. Rossow said she usually sits and watches before ever taking a shot. “I decide where I want to go, what to anticipate,” she added. “There’s nothing wrong with taking that postcard picture, but you need to move in and around if you want to take something beyond the postcard picture.” When the last sheep had trotted down Main Street and the last bite of lamb had been eaten, the photographers began poring through thousands of photos. Each picked out the 30 photos that told their stories best, then whittled them down to 10. Kingston and Rossow viewed each photographer’s work, lightening and darkening some of the pictures with a few clicks using Lightroom Photoshop. Kingston flagged the photos he liked best, including a photograph of the outdoors reflected in a gallery window and a Peruvian dancer, her skirt a blur as she twirled. “I like how this brings together the outdoors and the art culture that’s here,” he said of the first. “I like the movement you captured with the Peruvian dancer,” he said of the second. He hit a key on the computer. “See how you can add contrast to that flock of sheep?”

elections are about the future!

“Aren’t we lucky we live a place like this with such beautiful shots?” Odmark remarked to the group as she viewed the shots. Kingston offered the photographers suggestions for utilizing their photos,

cally, Ketchum, Idaho.…” Pesky said she had learned a lot, including patience and anticipation. “I was focusing on a sheepherder in Lake Creek and I thought, ‘I wish he’d take his hat off.’ I don’t

including putting them on wall magnets, making photo garlands to hang above doors and printing images on ready-to-hang acrylic or metal mounts. He reminded them that good photos capture more than one element. “We’ve all heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. But a good picture is worth a thousand pictures,” he said. “We want pictures that contain four, five or six different things in one picture. Maybe something that shows the sheep but in the context of Idaho, specifi-

know if he heard me, but he did remove his hat and I got a wonderful shot. And I learned how to be at the right place at the right time to capture interesting lighting… even though it was chilly in the morning!” A week after the workshop, Pesky and Odmark were still clicking away, using what they’d learned to try to tell the story of the Sun Valley Jazz Festival. “We were inspired,” Odmark said. “I think we’ll do a book of photos on Sun Valley.”

Tewa Evans Appointed To NAMI Idaho Board

Longtime member and founder of the local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in the Wood River Valley, Tewa Evans, was appointed to the NAMI Idaho board of directors at its annual meeting on September 20, 2014, in Coeur d’Alene. Evans founded NAMI-WRV in 2001 and helped promote the location for Region 5’s mental health court. She served two terms on the governor’s Idaho Mental Health Council and then served on Region 5’s Mental Health Council. She has attended three NAMI national conventions and has participated in advocating in Washington, D.C. For the past 10 years Evans has visited Idaho’s legislators in Boise advocating for the state’s mentally ill. Evans is a NAMI Family-to-Family teacher and was a registered nurse. She believes NAMI Idaho’s priorities should include advocating for emergency care centers statewide, bringing quality clubhouses to Idaho fashioned after the Fountain House in New York, involving corporations to fund the needs of the mentally ill in Idaho’s communities and continuing to educate law enforcement and first responders on crisis intervention training, according to a recent news release from NAMI-WRV. NAMI Idaho is the state organization chartered by NAMI, a nationwide organization dedicated to support, education, advocacy, and research on behalf of people living with mental illness and their families.

Hunger Coalition To Conduct Food Assessment

The Blaine County Hunger Coalition has recently started a long-term “Community Food Assessment” project and is seeking the participation of interested Wood River Valley residents to help with the endeavor. “Do you ever wonder how many people are facing hunger in our valley?” states a recent news release from The Hunger Coalition. “How far our food is traveling to get here? How much food comes from local and regional farmers? How our food prices compare to other counties? What kinds of foods are being served in our public institutions? How much the food industry impacts our local economy? These are just some of the questions that led The Hunger Coalition to embark on a Community Food Assessment (CFA).” The CFA will cover all of Blaine County, as well as the regional food shed. The Hunger Coalition expects to complete the year-long project in the fall of next year, but implementing the recommendations from the assessment will be a “continual process,” according to the release. “The general public, health organizations, interested business owners and others in the food industry are strongly encouraged to participate,” the release states. For more information, contact Emily Slike at eslike@thehungercoalition.org or 208-721-4884 or visit thehungercoalition.org.

‘Mueller Mountain Music’ Local musician releases debut album

BY K. HOFFMAN

ctober 14 was a big day for local musician Mark Mueller; he announced the digital release of his first album, “Riches & Rubble.” The hard copy will follow soon, but won’t be available until some time in November. With the help of Kickstarter.com, a global crowd-funding platform for creative projects, Mueller raised more than his original $1,000 goal to fund the album. “Kickstarter was a great experience,” said Mueller in an interview. “This project would not have happened in the capacity it did, or maybe not at all [without it]. I received support from people all across

the board: friends, family, many in this community, some I hadn’t heard from in years and others I had never met. We reached well above my initial goal. It was definitely a humbling and empowering experience.” After Mueller raised the necessary funds, he headed over to friend and fellow musician Gary Carlson’s “quaint, classy little studio” in Bellevue. “Gary’s years of experience with live sound and studio recording, his easygoing approach and the fact that he himself was an accomplished musician… it was a pleasure to have him at the reins of engineering the album,” Mueller said. “The studio was close to home, both in spirit and locale. And that is what I

wanted from this album— something that was true to me. I was looking for a real, earthy and intimate sound.” Mueller also brought along into the studio his wife, Tracy Mueller (additional vocals), and Mueller’s two friends, Sean Steinman (drums) and Anna Borden (violin), as well as musicians from Carlson’s bluegrass band Dewey, Pickette & Howe— Byron Walcher (pedal steel, lap steel, dobro) and Brad Hershey (upright bass). “I feel as though the album truly has a certain ambiance about it—a feel that fits where I am at,” Mueller said. “I coin it Mueller mountain music because I don’t know exactly how to label it otherwise.”

However, Mueller was not always a local of the Valley. He was born and raised in Houston, Texas, where his passion for music began and where he would have “jam-offs”

roots in the Valley. The Wood River Valley has had a significant impact on Mueller’s music, he said, particularly the smalltown community and the natural beauty of the area.

with his dad and musically inclined family. He then went to college in Minnesota, where he honed his craft making lattes by day and, at night, playing music on the Twin Cities’ streets to make ends meet and test out new material. Mueller first came to the Wood River Valley in the summer of 2006, but it was not until May of 2011 that the opportunity presented itself for Mueller and his wife to pack it all up and put down

Community Library Gets New Director The Community Library in Ketchum announced on Monday the appointment of Jennifer Emery Davidson, above, as the organization’s new Executive Director. “Dr. Davidson is well known in the community, having served as Director of the College of Southern Idaho’s Blaine County Center in Hailey from 2004 to 2013,” states a recent news release from the Library. Davidson will fill the shoes of former Executive Director Cynthia Dillon, who left in August citing personal reasons. Following Dillon’s resignation, The Library focused its search primarily on local applicants, according to the release. “We could not have hoped for a better candidate: an experienced educational leader with solid roots in this community,” states Library Board of Trustees Chairman Lyman Drake. Davidson adds that she is “eager and honored to work with the Library’s talented staff and dedicated trustees, and to be surrounded by such a tremendous collection of books and regional history in both the Library and the new Museum.” tws

Mia Edsall Releases Her ‘Big Red Horse’ STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

ia Edsall wants to tickle your chicken skin with her new

CD. That is, she wants to touch your deep innermost feelings. “I attended a songwriting workshop in Nashville with Mary Gauthier,” said Edsall, who lives south of Bellevue. “She coached us that we’re not here to get on mainstream radio. We’re not here to be on Music Row. We’re here to write the truth. We are here to convey the universal

the Florida Keys to be at her father’s side as he lay dying. “I think the album’s pretty darn good,” added Edsall, who recorded the album with the help of $2,200 she raised in a Kickstarter campaign. Kelly Curtis, a former actress who has been following Edsall’s music since moving to Bellevue, calls it “a brilliant album.” “It’s a devastating and honest glimpse into a beautiful woman’s soul,” she said. Curtis’s husband—John Marsh, of Liberty Films— agreed: “Mia Edsall’s new, assured album is a very

Mia Edsall played at a myriad of events around the Valley last summer, including Wine Down Wednesdays at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, the Wood River Farmers’ Market and the Sun Valley Arts and Crafts Festival.

human condition and write songs that emit a visceral reaction in somebody’s body— she calls it the ‘chicken skin.’ ” Edsall has been able to achieve that with some of the songs on her new CD. “Mostly, people start crying—and that’s okay,” she said. “I consider that I have done a good job when I can move somebody like that with the text, the melody, the message of the song. And it has to be true for the audience to have that experience.” Edsall will launch her new CD in a party that starts at 6 p.m. Saturday at The Town Pump, 122 S. Main St., Hailey. Some of her musician friends will join her, playing for those who show up. Edsall recorded the CD named “Big Red Horse” over 68 hours at Gary Carlson’s professional studio in Bellevue. She made it with the help of five friends—Ken Martin, Dave Muscavage, Mike Saul, Michaela French and Tyler May. The album features a few old-timey tunes, such as “Cluck Ole Hen,” with fun lyrics like “My old hen’s a good old hen. She lays eggs for the railroad men. Sometimes one, sometimes two. Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew.” But Edsall penned most of the songs. The title song, “Big Red Horse,” evokes her love of horses. She is a professional competitor and trainer who often trains riders in dressage, cross-country and show jumping—skills once used to test cavalry horses. “Deadly Shine” focuses on the attraction of alcohol. She penned “Song for Anna” for her daughter. “Did I Ask You?” brings up love and yearning. A rocker called “Fear” is about shaking off fear. “End Times,” she says, is probably her best effort, describing her journey to

well-mixed effort featuring softer, personal vocals, a laidback style, blending old-timey instruments and heartfelt writing. Easy to listen to, it’s still personal, challenging and evocative. We have witnessed first-hand Mia’s growth the last couple years and the accomplishment evidenced here is stunning.” Edsall’s roots lie in the 1960’s and ’70’s folk music of singers like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan. A Vermont native, Edsall started playing five-string banjo at 15, augmenting it with guitar and harmonica when she moved to the Wood River Valley, where she performed in restaurants, bars and other venues. She stopped playing when she got married and resumed performing again in 2005 even though, she laments, there are fewer places to play today than there used to be. She has remained true to her roots, mixing country music, blues and folk with old-timey music. “I like the way old-timey music feels. I love the groove of the old-timey stuff, even more than bluegrass,” she said. Edsall said she made the record not to make a killing or a hit song or even to get on mainstream radio, although she’d love to see her album played on alternative radio. “Why did I make it? I want to get better,” she said. “And I felt the album was one way to do it!” tws

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR OCTOBER 29 FROM PICABO ANGLER

et your fingerless gloves out, as well as your fleece hat and your fleece neck gator. Cold-weather fishing is here! That means fewer anglers, shorter fishing windows, but at least a few more weeks of incredible hatches and gluttonous fish that are looking to pile on the calories before winter. The brown trout will also be coming out of their spawning season relatively soon, which means they haven’t eaten for some time and the cold water will turn them back into the awesome predators they are! The hatches are going to begin tapering off to the point where only the Baetis is left for the year, and the coming week is rich in Baetis weather. Make sure you have your size 22 and 24 BWO patterns no matter what river you decide to fish. Now is also the time to begin getting ready for Nymphing season. This is generally the time frame between later fall and the holidays when our first big winter Midge hatches begin to happen on the Big Wood and the South Fork of the Boise. We call it Nymphing season simply because there are just few to no hatches of any insects after Thanksgiving. We are reduced to Nymphing until those Midges really start coming off in the winter snows. Nymphs to have in your fly box include Prince Nymphs in large sizes, like a 10 or 12. Swing these on a tight-line, letting them tumble along the bottom. Throw a mend in the line and let the fly swing up to the surface. Keep your tip down and hold on, as the fish cannot resist this “Emerging” quality to your offering. You should also have Black-Backed Hare’s Ear Nymphs and Zug Bugs in a variety of sizes and, of course, Copper Johns and Brassies. It is also a great time of year to buff out your Streamer box. Along with the standard Wooly Buggers in Olives and Blacks you should have Coffie’s Sparkle Minnow in a variety of colors. Fishing Streamers also means you need to beef up your leaders and tippets. Be sure to have plenty of 9-foot 2X fluorocarbon leaders and tippets in size 2X and 3X. Fishing Streamers in the Big Wood and Silver Creek is a great way to catch the biggest fish in those rivers. The more adverse the weather conditions, the better the fishing is going to be! Happy fishing, everyone!

Liza Buell Song and Dance woman

The Under Takers Huge Ornament Selection From $5 Holiday Décor & Gifts Artificial Wreaths & Trees

iza Buell, a senior at Wood River High School, loves to sing and dance. This is in addition to her academic excellence that has made her a member of National Honor Society carrying a 4.02 grade point average. Buell also has earned a National Merit Scholarship commendation and has stretched herself in a number of Advanced Placement classes, including Language and Composition, U.S. History, Micro and Macro Economics, Calculus A&B and B&C, Literature and Government. But the arts are her passion in life and she has been focused on them since early childhood. “I love singing and dancing and have been fascinated by both,” Buell said. “I started dancing when I was 3 back in Massachusetts where I lived. I don’t remember much, but my neighbors were doing it and we would carpool once a week. It was really fun and I was good at it and really liked it.” Buell first performed in Massachusetts when she was 4 years old. “The performance was in the studio and we wore pink tutus and ran around because no one knew what we were doing. It was great and I really enjoyed being on stage and showing off what we had learned at the time. Performing is still my favorite and I love being on stage. It’s really an adrenaline rush and you’ve worked so hard up to that point and you get to do it. It’s like a gigantic weight is lifted off your shoulders and performing is a different world and a different state of mind

from everyday life. It’s also like being an athlete, but it’s also artistic and something that I’m good at. I’ve played a lot of sports over the years and haven’t been quite as successful.” Buell has danced with Footlight Dance Centre since she was 5 years old and today is in the advanced company. “We are a family of dancers and we all share the same passion and get along really well.” Her work week is comprised of six or seven classes a week, but when they are in rehearsals for a performance, it can be as much as seven hours on the weekends. “I take ballet three times a week as well as Pilates, jazz, modern and tap. My favorite is jazz and it depends on what style you are doing, but it’s not as delicate as ballet and you move to more modern music and it incorporates gymnastics. It’s upbeat and fun to do.” Buell is also a singer with the all-girl choir Colla Voce. “I started singing with the choir in fourth-grade. I always liked music and listening to it. Choir was fun and I wanted more. I went to my first Colla Voce concert at The Liberty Theatre in eighth-grade and I really wanted to be up there and be a part of it. When auditions came up at the end of that year, I practiced as much as possible. Waiting to hear was nerve-wracking, but when I heard I would be a part of it, it was one of the most exciting calls I’ve ever gotten. Today, I’m lucky to be able to sing and dance. The arts are a huge part of who I am. It’s a balance because I’m really focused on academics and the arts allows me to express myself.” tws

Local Food For Thought Meet The Local Food Alliance BY ALI LONG

’m excited to introduce the Local Food Alliance, a new nonprofit with a mission to create a healthy local food system and restore food security in the Wood River Valley. We provide a backbone of coordination and support to existing organizations, enterprises and individuals working toward common health, economic and environmental goals. We facilitate critical education about our local food system, and empower children and families to make food choices that are healthy for themselves, our community and the planet. We launched this fall with two groundbreaking projects: FarmRai$er and FED UP. LFA supported the Hemingway Elementary FarmRai$er, a new fundraiser that sells healthy local food instead of wrapping paper and candy. FarmRai$er generated more than $14,000 to be shared with local farmers and producers, benefitting our community and economic health. FED UP is a documentary that exposes our government’s complicit role in the sugar epidemic that’s responsible for staggering rates of obesity and type-2 diabetes. In honor of Food Day, the film was shown in both Ketchum and Hailey to roughly 200 community members including school board trustees, students, parents, city employees and health professionals. Our soon-to-launch website will be an online local food community to identify and introduce our local food system members from all six stages of the food system: production, processing, distribution, access, consumption and recovery. The online Local Food Calendar will publicize all things local food, from gardening and canning classes to farm-totable events and films. Other projects in motion are farm-to-school lunch programs for Syringa Mountain School and The Sage School, as well as an edible gardening program that will launch in the new Wood River Community YMCA greenhouse to be built this spring. We are hungry for change, and plan to serve it up!

Ali Long is the president of The Springcreek Foundation and the director of the Local Food Alliance. For more information, email her at ali@localfoodalliance.org

TAKE OFF, EH! TO THE GREAT WHITE NORTH

Happy Halloween, Blatant County Revellers! This will be our Halloween issue so you’ll see a lot of costumes and a lot of funny stuff about this sacred holiday. We found a whole lot of photos of locals having fun in past costumed affairs. See if you can recognize some of your friends. We also have a column on Characters, not Halloween ones - local ones. And, a few thoughts on exercise. (What do I do

to exercise. Well, I jog around the block fifteen times every morning. Then, I pick up my block and put it back in a bag with the rest of its Lego friends.) There’s a new segment called Blatant County Conversation, plus all your other favorite features and advertisements. We hope you have a happy and safe Halloween. Love, Spa and Gorbs - and the spooky staff of The Weekly Sun.

The Way I See It...

CHARACTERS

I’m not referring to Halloween characters for this weekend’s festivities, I’m talking about the truly genuine, home-grown, they’re-all-ours-we’re-not-giving-them-back — Blatant County everyday characters. Every once in a while at the post office I’ll run into some of my favorites. Last week it was BBQ Bob, former vocalist with “The Bobos” who married and moved to Mackay and is in town to work some drywall for a while. I was at my box getting my mail when I heard a voice singing “The Midnight Train to Georgia” and quickly turned and it was “Q.” SPA “Bob, how are you?” BBQ “Fine, Spa, remember that tune?” “Every Sunday for three years, Bob.” “I’ve enjoyed our times together these past months.” “Yeah, we have never got together, have we?” “I’ve enjoyed that.” “Are you here for your bills?” “Yes! What am I going to do? They just keep coming!” “You don’t have to open them, you know.” “Then, they’ll just call.” “Don’t answer the phone.” “They’ll call my job.” “But you’re self-employed. How can they harm you?”

SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 23) This week, you’ll look at two old guys across the room and say to your pal, “Hey, that’s us in ten years” and your pal will point out that you’re looking at the mirror behind the bar.

CANCER: (June 22 - July 23) You know you’re going to get heat for this, but you’re going to turn up the thermostat, anyway.

Then there are the herding breeds such as Aussies and border collies that will chase the livestock (prey) to assist the owner in moving the sheep or cattle

Labrador retrievers possess the instinctive behavior to hunt, part of the so-called “prey drive” they inherited from wolves.

they are born. The behavior is hereditary from the parents and ancestors. All dogs possess what is called “prey drive.” This is instinctual behavior passed along from wolves for survival. In a very basic description, prey drive occurs when the wolf smells or sees game, then follows either the scent or vision, attacks the game, shakes it, kills it, and eats it with the pack. What makes dogs different from wolves is that we humans have “domesticated” dogs by selecting certain portions of that “prey drive” and then breeding dogs that possessed those specific portions in an effort to use them for human benefit. For example, our beloved Labrador retriever has been bred for his scenting or “hunting”

living well

to a desired location. When we have mixedbreed dogs whose heredity is unknown, we don’t always know which portions of that instinctual “prey drive” they possess until they mature. When we select a dog for our family, careful evaluation should be made to select a dog with the appropriate “drive” for our family. For instance, a herding dog that chases small objects and rounds them up may not be the best choice if you have small children. Those dogs may chase and nip children simply because of their instinctual behaviors. Each dog is an individual, even within a specific breed, and may possess more or less instinctual behavior than others. How many Labrador retrievers do you

py ears is not usually the best way to choose a dog for your family. Understanding what his potential instinctual behaviors are and if those will fit for your family is truly at the heart of the matter. If you find yourself with a dog with instinctual behaviors that are difficult to live with, extensive training with a professional may be your best assurance to control it.

ctober brings cooler temperatures as well as ghosts and goblins. You might even have a vampire in your home leeching off the energy supply and running up your energy bill. The vast majority of people today rely on electronic devices to do everything from planning their day and talking to friends and family to using them for work and play. We use our devices and then plug them in at the end of the day so they can recharge. We get up the next morning, disconnect our devices, make our coffee or tea and then rush out the door.

devices are not connected to them. If you leave only one charger plugged in, it won’t cause a huge increase in your energy bill. But when you start adding up common device chargers and electronics, the energy use creeps up and you get energy vampires. According to energy.gov “energy vampires are often responsible for adding 10 percent or more to your monthly utility bill.” You don’t have to give in to energy vampires—there are things you can do to combat them. First, visit duke-energy.com/energyvampire/ for a quick energy evaluation. If the results indicate you have energy vampires lurking about, try the following: •Unplug devices you don’t often use like spare TVs, clocks, radios, coffeemakers, microwaves, DVD player, VCR, game consoles, etc.

•Use power strips. Power strips allow you to toggle the power flow on and off to multiple devices at one time. •Curb idle time in devices like computers and video consoles. •Make smart upgrades. Consider replacing old devices with ENERGY STAR devices; they consume less than your average device in all their functions.

Wood River Hash-Cutter BY TONY TAYLOR

was catching up on my reading the other day and I found an incredible article that may interest the Wood River Valley community. The following story, titled “An Opinion Freely Expressed by an Individual, Which is too Good to Keep,” was published in the January 31, 1885, issue of Alturas County’s The Wood River News-Miner:

Idaho Power Stocks Snake With Trout

Idaho Power added more than 72,000 pan-sized rainbow trout to the Snake River at popular fishing spots earlier this month. The spots include C.J. Strike’s Cottonwood and Jack’s Creek accesses, Lower Salmon Falls Reservoir near Bell Rapids, Centennial Park near Twin Falls and below Bliss Dam. “Our trout-stocking program is one way Idaho Power balances its operations with environmental stewardship,” said Idaho Power biologist Ben Reingold.

Memorial Service For Vee Riley

Sometime ago a man, evidently from the rural districts, came into one of Hailey’s hardware stores and began a systematic examination of all wares on exhibition in the shop. He had both hands clasped tenderly behind his back and seemed to be hunting after some article he could not see. He walked up and down among the stoves, now peering in this and now in that direction, and when any novelty attracted his attention, he paused sufficiently long to thoroughly make up his mind what it was. Finally he stopped before a hash-cutting machine. This article of domestic convenience puzzled him amazingly. He had never seen one before. He examined it thoroughly, on top, beneath and on every side. He at once called the clerk to his side and asked: “What is that ‘ar?” pointing mysteriously to the hash-cutter. “That,” replied the clerk, “that’s a Wood River hash-cutter. How many do you want?” “Hash-cutter!” returned the man. “Never seed one of them ’fore. Never have ’em up my way.” “Where are you from?” asked the clerk. “Boise City,” replied the man. “Ever been over thar?” “Never was there,” returned the clerk. “Well, you hain’t never traveled much if you hain’t bin in B-o-i-see C-i-t-y.” The column adjacent to that one, titled “Cougars,” borrowed text from The

Cougars

Large numbers of cougars, or Rocky Mountain lions, if you choose, have been hovering along the Galena road since the snow. Fred Scoville was followed by one for two or three miles, after night, coming from Galena down to Cashow’s place. The rascal approached so near several times that Fred was compelled to swing the lantern into his face to keep him from pulling the pack from his back. It has been reported that as high as thirty-two have been counted in a single band near the old [??] mill, where they congregated for shelter and rabbit-hunting. As it was after night, there should be some allowance made for stumps. I think Fred might’ve been a stoner!

hemistry is everything and nowhere is it in more abundance than in the excellent new movie “The Skeleton Twins.” Casting is pretty important, too, and the movie hits it out of the ballpark by having the Saturday Night Live alums Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader in the lead roles playing twins who haven’t seen each other in 10 years. Together they deliver astonishing performances in a moving piece that is neither a comedy nor a drama. The story has elements that, handled by anyone but the director, Craig Johnson,

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

would have been cliché or preposterous. Matching the performances is a terrific script written by Johnson and Mark Heyman that won the Sundance Screenwriting Award. In the story, the twins are thrown together on the fateful day when both try to commit suicide. Wiig’s attempt is interrupted by the call that her brother failed in his attempt. So after 10 years, they reunite and she takes him from L.A. to her apparently stable home in upstate New York where they grew up and where she is married to a “good guy” played perfectly by Luke Wilson. Hader, a tortured soul if you’ve ever met one,

has failed at being an actor and now tries to reunite with the man, Ty Burrell, that he had a scandalous relationship with years ago. But the heart and soul of the piece is the story of the two siblings trying to reconnect and discover a reason to live. In one remarkable scene, the two share nitrous oxide in a dentist’s office where Wiig works and the walls between them come down. It’s here that the two actors’ love and trust for each other is most apparent. It’s hard to believe that two actors thrown together on a movie could achieve that level of intimacy. It’s just one of the many treasures in this special little film. tws

Usually, there is a reciprocal relationship between them; that is, abundance of money seems to go along with a shortage of time, and abundance of time with shortage of money. Money is the wealth of the materialist, and works miracles in the realm of the physical. Time is the wealth of the pilgrim, and works miracles in all realms.” -Ed Buryn

n weekday morning traffic between Hailey and Ketchum (or anywhere), it is possible to observe and be wary of drivers talking and texting on their cell phones, tailgating those observing speed limits and passing at every available space in the bumper-tobumper traffic as if the 30 seconds sooner they will reach their destinations are the most important moments in the history of time. As if time has a history. Or a future. From one perspective, such timeless observations of our fellow traffic-bound humans are hilarious; from another, alarming. From any perspective, they are worthy of contemplation and self-reflection. As a practical matter, clocks and calendars reg-

Time ulate the everyday life of most of mankind around the sequence of events we call time; but practicality and essential reality are not always on the same schedule, as the old adage “Timing is everything” points out. Time is a concept, not a fixed reality, as Einstein’s Theory of Relativity describes. Time is conceived by many as a commodity to be bartered and traded and consumed like pork bellies, or a storehouse to be filled to the rafters with the toys of experience or the juicy fruits of labor. I prefer the perspective of Henry David Thoreau who said both: “Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in” and “Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.” There are natural regulators called ‘biological clocks’ that govern aging and the rhythms of behavior, circadian cycles governing daily temperature and metabolism, and electrical rhythms in the human brain, including the most prominent known as ‘alpha rhythms. But scientific efforts to locate a specific area of the brain that controls man’s sense of time have been unsuccessful. The concept of measured time is, thus, a human construct, a nifty piece of conceptual engineering. The work of Einstein and others showed that time is relative to the observer, causing the view of time as

an independent entity to give way to the concept that space and time are intertwined and inseparable. Ultimately, it seems to me, the human concept of time is a mystery like life itself, best and most nutritiously experienced by slowing down and appreciating the moment rather than missing it in a race to reach a future destination 30 seconds sooner. Eckhart Tolle perhaps expressed it best: “Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.” tws

Positive Choice BY BRENNAN REGO

ptimists, the few days before Election Day are always an exciting time for those of us who prefer to look at the bright side of life. We get to dream of all the wonderful changes the challenger we like will make that will improve our quality of life in the Wood River Valley. Or, we get to envision all the ways in which the encumbent we like will ensure the Valley remains a world-class place to live. Most importantly, we get to inspire our fellow local residents to get out and vote. Doing so is particularly important for our friends, family members or loved ones who have a propensity to grumble at almost anything and everything, particularly local politics. Voting is a much more effective way to realize actual change than simply complaining about how things should be. Also, those who don’t vote don’t have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to voicing opinions on the way things should or shouldn’t be done. This fall, Election Day is on Tuesday, Nov. 4. The polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. across Blaine County. Early voting will be available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Friday, Oct.

Back To ‘Adventure Playgrounds’ BY JENNIFER L. SMITH

y childhood straddled the era between glorious freedom and overprotection for kids. Luckily for me and my mates, the former era far outlasted the latter era. Summers were spent mostly riding a horse or a bike or swimming in ponds and rivers, all the time making up wonderful fantasies and games that surely only made sense to a small group of us growing up in rural western Oregon. We were rock stars. Tennis racquets were electric guitars and fireplace mantles were stages. We had mud and sticks and old rusted cars. We were famous actors and adventurers. Our home range was splendidly large; miles of farmland, pastures, dirt roads and old barns were available (or so we thought) for our exploring pleasure. We were kicked out of cornfields by the farmer who thought hunting for frogs in the dripping irrigation ditches would some-

how harm his crops. We scared ourselves exploring pioneer cemeteries with mossy headstones. We found treasures and baby animals and had creative names for just about every location. We learned how to drive a stick at age 8 and raced the highway travelers from the relative safety of the adjacent wheatfield. Our parents may say otherwise but I don’t recall ever uttering the words, “I’m bored.” Our parents would probably be arrested for allowing us the sheer pleasures of a childhood uninhibited by their overprotection compared to today’s world. But we survived. Scratch that. We thrived. The goal, of course, was not to gain self-confidence and self-awareness. Learning to work out peer-to-peer issues, work as a team, and negotiate the day’s plan weren’t intentional teaching and learning moments. But they were. Risk-taking and discovery are as much a part of childhood self-discovery as school learning is. Some communities are discovering a concept of the

“adventure playground.” A place where kids can play with stuff normally unavailable to them, these “playgrounds” are full of “dangerous” items such as hammers and old tires, pallets and zip lines. They are fenced and supervision is the rule, but the kids who play in these places don’t know they are being watched over. They are left to make their own discoveries and overcome their challenges on their own. Kids in the Wood River Valley are so fortunate to live in their own adventure playground. They’re also fortunate to have access to kids’ programs and camps that encourage self-discovery and confidence-building through supervised risk-taking. Challenging oneself from an early age is a gift that reveals benefits into old age. Take advantage. Jennifer L. Smith is director of parks and recreation for the city of Ketchum.

Life Insurance You Can Put to Use Now BY PATRICK BUCHANAN

he money you spend on permanent life insurance can be used to pay death benefits for your loved ones, or to help you financially during your lifetime. Look to permanent life insurance to offer: Lifetime Protection Whole life insurance offers level premiums and life insurance protection for as long as you live, provided premiums are paid as required to keep the policy in force. The death benefit paid by a whole life insurance policy generally passes on income tax-free to your beneficiaries. Cash Value Whole life insurance

provides for the accumulation of cash value on a tax-deferred basis over time. This cash value can be used to help cover unexpected expenses, college expenses or help supplement your retirement income.* * Unpaid loans and withdrawals will reduce the death benefit and policy cash value. Loans also accrue interest. Policy Dividends With whole life insurance, insurance companies may pay dividends—a return of premium for better-than-expected performance by the insurance company. Though not guaranteed, dividends can increase a policy’s death benefit or cash value, and generally aren’t considered taxable income.

Vote for Experience & Proven Leadership

RE- ELECT STEVE MILLER “Steve Miller’s comprehensive understanding of the state budget – from funding education to preserving our water – has made him an extremely valuable member of the Idaho Legislature. I encourage you to send him back to the House of Representatives to continue working hard for you and the great State of Idaho. Please join me in supporting Steve Miller in the November 4th election."

C.L. "Butch" Otter, Governor, State of Idaho “As Lt. Governor, I’ve seen Rep. Steve Miller in action. He is a knowledgeable and strong voice as we work together to expand Idaho’s economy. As a Legislator, he invites the opinions of others, listens respectfully, and is a thoughtful decisionmaker. I urge you to re-elect Representative Steve Miller."

Brad Little, Lt. Governor, State of Idaho “Idaho needs Legislators like Representative Steve Miller who are committed to preserving and improving the quality of life of Idahoans. His extensive experience in public service, agriculture and small business, as well as his past two years serving in the House of Representatives, make him the right choice as your Representative. I encourage you to support Steve Miller.”

U.S. Senator Mike Crapo

“Steve Miller has proven himself to be a solid Legislator and sound decision maker. His demonstrated leadership on JFAC (Appropriations), Agricultural Affairs and Resources and Conservation have served our State well. I am proud to endorse him.”

U.S. Senator Jim Risch

“Steve Miller’s 34 years as a volunteer serving Idaho in numerous national, regional and local positions prepared him to be a creative problem solver as your Representative. Steve’s outstanding work ethic has served Idahoans well. I recommend you send Steve back to the Legislature.”

U.S. Congressman Mike Simpson “As Speaker of the Idaho House of Representatives, I know Steve Miller to be an experienced decision-maker who listens, analyzes facts and weighs outcomes before deciding on issues. He is approachable, available and responsive. Steve’s knowledge of and experience in conservation and aquifer recharge make him a valued resource within the Legislature. I highly endorse Steve Miller.”

Times-News Endorsement: Miller has it, Fosbury Doesn't October 8, 2014 “Steve Miller has a certain quiet, but strong air about him, a demeanor that served him well in his first term in the state House of Representatives. But get him going on any number of topics -- health care, wolves, water conservation -- and a passionate, almost fiery policy wonk who does his homework and loves the debate rears his head. Miller is impressive. Miller admits he had no interest in health care policy when the freshman lawmaker and life-long rancher from Fairfield first strolled into the Statehouse in 2013. But, boy, does he have some thoughts now. He's intrigued by a federally funded experiment now under way in Washington state, a program that incentivizes general practitioners to see low income patients for an attainable, fixed monthly cost. Long-term, health care costs would plunge as the poor rely less on emergency rooms or wait until their health has turned critical. Catch it early, keep it in check. That's how cash is saved in the modern American health care system. The engineer and long-time Camas County Conservation District board member could lecture college students on safeguarding water quality and access, the crux of the Magic Valley economy. He supports Gov. Otter's reasoned approach to federal lands, one where the state test drives management of a small percentage public lands through an agreement with the feds. In his first term, Miller was appointed to the powerful Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee, which gives him direct influence over the real decider of policy: cash. If elected to another term, he hopes to find a little influence in the health care segment of government. What impressed us the most was Miller's openness to ideas. He's unsure of proposed tiered licensure for teachers, which would tie pay increases to subjective performance measurements. He will make up his mind after he sees a bill, Miller said. We urge Miller to back segregating pay from performance, at least in the short term. Idaho's teachers need a raise, for the good of education, so we hope Miller and his colleagues move the $175 million proposal through without the obligatory poison pill. We do hope to see a more assertive version of Miller in his second term. Miller is bright, thoughtful and engaged. The same can't be said for his Democratic opponent for seat A in District 26. Olympian Dick Fosbury says he first considered seeking a seat on the Blaine County Commission. But that's a full-time gig, so he instead opted to run for state Legislature. Fosbury wants to boost education and highway funding, but offered no way to pay for either. After an hour, the only real policy we could pull from him was a New Deal-like jobs program that would put people to work on Idaho's eroding highway system. It's not that the idea is bad, but 800-or-so jobs wouldn't make much of an impact in the grand scale. He had little, if any, understanding of the state budget. We expect a candidate for state office would, at this point, have done his research. Not Fosbury. His campaign relies on one-part name recognition and two parts vague cliche. Fosbury is looking for something to do and his 1968 gold medal makes him a local celebrity. But that's not enough. He's running for the wrong reasons. Boredom is not a viable excuse for the pursuit of power. Regardless of what Fosbury says, he doesn't really want the job. His lack of basic knowledge was all the evidence we needed….”
