Dollar Superpipe Opens Big BY P.M. FADDEN
A
Mountain Events and Lift Operations Supervisor Julian Tyo said in an interview that the halfpipe is an important aspect of freestyle culture. “It completes what Sun Valley terrain parks have to offer—a top-to-bottom park at Dollar,” Tyo added. Mountain personnel have reported an overall increase in pipe use over the past few years by skiers and boarders of all skill levels. “The 22-foot pipe is more forgiving due to an extended transition area [that curving portion of snow that connects the pipe wall with the pipe floor],” Matteson said. “This allows for a more approachable feature for intermediate users but can also be a more challenging feature for advanced users.” Pipe construction starts with snowmaking.
fter much anticipation, Sun Valley Resort opened Dollar Mountain’s Superpipe on Monday. The pipe—which measures 64 feet wide, 22 feet tall and 593 feet long—is located on the slope known as Old Bowl. The Superpipe is a banner freestyle feature among the terrain park network on Dollar Mountain. “It [the pipe] is a great asset to have,” said Dollar Mountain Manager John Matteson in an interview. “There are very few in the country—especially in the West.”

enya Schott—a Wood River High School student carrying a 4.1 grade point average and a member of National Honor Society—has, for the past three years, poured herself into helping people in trouble. She has also been very busy at Wood River, as she has been in the dual immersion program since kindergarten, participates on the track, soccer and basketball teams and has taken a number of Advance Placement classes, including U.S. History, Language and Composition, Macro and Micro Economics, Spanish, Statistics, Government and Literature. But the heart of Schott’s time has been devoted to The Advocates, a nonprofit organization that she described as “helping free the community from physical and emotional abuse and providing services for people in trouble like education, shelter and help with legal services.” Schott started interning for The Advocates two summers ago where, among other things, she is involved in fundraiser and community activities. “In February, we will be doing a moving art gallery,” she says. “Students will be writing poems about domestic violence and they will be displayed in coffee shops throughout the Valley. I also get to work with the donors and help out with our big gala at the end of the year. Schott got involved with The Advocates because she “wanted to be a part of the
community that mattered. Seven of us signed on as interns and we were the first high school students to do this, as they had never done anything like it before.” For her senior project, Schott immersed herself in the Green Dot program, which teaches bystanders how to get involved when they see an act of violence taking place. She taught three one-hour seminars to young kids, high schoolers and adults after studying the guidelines in a program with The Advocates. “We acted out the various scenarios and then I wrote a speech after studying the materials and presented it,” Schott says. “The events went really well and I did my own marketing and advertising and we had about twenty people at each one and they were very challenging because there was a lot of research and paperwork. My goal was to inform people, and my friends still talk about it. Basically, there are three methods to get involved. First is the direct approach. Secondly, get others involved. And third, use distraction by bringing up another topic.” Schott’s plans are to continue to work for The Advocates until she goes to school in the fall. “It’s been a real privilege,” she says. “After learning what they did, you really admire the work that they accomplish. It’s really the only place where people can go. For me personally I can now identify an unhealthy relationship and can recognize acts of bullying. Now I know what to do in those situations.”

Definitely Not Acting Their Age ‘Ancient Skiers’ Week Hits Valley

coming to Sun Valley for over 60 years. There was also a birthday celebration at Friday night’s banquet for local legend Nelson Bennett who celebrated his 100th birthday this past year. Stories were shared, friends were reacquainted and a whole lot of fun was had by all of the Ancient Skiers. The respect they have for the mountain and each other was apparent throughout the week. “It was simply spectacular,” noted Ancient Skiers president, Bill Price. “There was great participation and everyone enjoyed the week immensely. The Sun Valley Company was extremely gracious on everything. It was just a great week and there appeared to be 110 percent satisfaction from all members. “Understand, people over 60, 70 and 80 are having a spectacular time and the younger people can’t believe the awards, accolades, the incredible feats performed by all of these people older than themselves, and [that] they’re still skiing.”
he Ancient Skiers organization enjoyed a fantastic week of activities during its 32nd annual Sun Valley Reunion, which took place Jan.17–24. Nearly 300 skiers from the Pacific Northwest and beyond shared in a week of events that included a Western hoedown, NASTAR ski race on Baldy, aprè-ski undertakings and dinner parties. The Ancient Skiers are a community of snow skiers ages 55 and up who come together to celebrate the snow ski industry, as well as their love of the mountains. There are over 1,000 members who are predominantly from the Pacific Northwest, but many locals are also members. They are dedicated to enjoying the sport of skiing as they move into their “golden years.” One of the main events to kick-start the week was a Western dinner-dance at the Sun Valley Resort’s Limelight Room. Participants dressed in their best Western attire and enjoyed great food, a photo booth, and line-dancing lessons taught by locals Peggy and Dale Bates. The dance floor was packed all evening with folks kicking up their heels to great music. The dancing was simply loosening them up for skiing the next day. When it came to skiing, no matter what their age, the Ancient Skiers were on the mountain all week. Cathy Ackert from Seattle was attending with her ski group from the Seattle area called the Burien Backsliders. Cathy hadn’t skied for eight years and, at the age of 73, she went up on Baldy and had a great time. “I was a little nervous on my first run, but then it was great,” Ackert stated. “It was wonderful to be up on the mountain.” The NASTAR race on Thursday had a huge turnout—including 70-year-old Arlene Levy, who raced for her first time ever. There were smiles all around as the Ancient Skiers took to the course, and nearly everyone checked their time after each run, showing off their competitive nature. There were Olympians, ski and snowboard hall of An excited group of Ancient Skiers celebrates after racing on Baldy.

Footlight To Present “Rockin’ Dance” Tour
F
BY K. HOFFMAN
ootlight Dance Centre will present a free performance titled “Rockin’ Dance” for the community on Wednesday, Feb. 4, at 7 p.m. The performance will be held at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater in the Community Campus in Hailey, located at 1050 Fox Acres Road. “Rockin’ Dance” is part of the dance company’s annual community outreach program, which includes a tour of schools in the local district.
Choreography began in October 2014, and many of the dancers train as athletes, taking five to six classes per week and are also required to study Pilates conditioning. This year’s performance is a collaborative effort with the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ “BIG IDEA” multidisciplinary project “Under the Influence of Rock and Roll.” “Rockin’ Dance” will combine the art of dance with the history of rock and roll by the decade. “Music and dance have gone hand in hand as rock and roll has developed, and these art forms have been a part of our changing culture for the past 60 years,” said Footlight Dance founder and director Hilarie Neely in an interview. The dancers will interpret rock and roll through ballet, modern, jazz, tap and hip-hop dance. The show’s music will contain elements from the birth of rock and roll in the 1950s and continue to span the decades of the ’60s (British Invasion and Woodstock Fest), ’70s (soft rock and disco), ’80s (classic hip-hop) to the present. The tour will also include the use of video, and has teamed up with the Community School Upper
School video production class, led by instructor Peter Burke, to produce a background video. The videos will feature iconic images of music and musicians, and aim to enhance the understanding of the evolution of music and dance over the years. Photos will be displayed from famed Saturday Night Live photographer Edie Baskin. Anne Aganon, instructor for the Community School Upper School visual arts department, has contributed and provided banners that will be featured in the production, highlighting the influence of posters and album cover art. The students, ages 12-18, have been rehearsing religiously on the weekends for up to six weeks prior to the performance. “These performances are always a highlight for the company dancers, as they assume the life of a touring professional but still keep up their class workload at school,” Neely said. Choreography began in October 2014, and many of the dancers train as athletes, taking five to six classes per week and are also required to study Pilates conditioning. Neely is a trained professional dancer with a bachelor of fine arts degree from Southern Methodist University. She danced with the Portland Dance Theatre and Cirque Dance Company. Before opening Footlight Dance Centre in 1984, she also founded the Idaho Dance Ensemble. “Every performance is unique for every student,” Neely said. “Each dancer brings their personality in relationship to the dances. Most of the dancers in the company study all disciplines, so they dance the entire show.” The “Rockin’ Dance” school tour began Monday, Jan. 26, and will continue through Jan. 30. “It is a wonderful experience to perform for their peers and younger students,” Neely concluded. “The 45-minute performance is sure to get you dancing in your seats!” For more information on Footlight Dance Centre, contact 208-578-5462 or visit www.footlightdancecentre.com. tws

he 2015 Blaine County Fire Academy is up and running. All of Blaine County was invited to apply to this year’s Academy. An application process was the first step in becoming a member of the Academy but, since applicants are applying to a government agency, they also had to clear background checks and have their criminal histories scanned. This year’s 30 new candidates hail from Ketchum, Sun Valley, Hailey, Wood River and Bellevue. The 30 candidates have just completed a physical aptitude test, which is a preliminary test to make sure candidates have the physical ability to proceed with heavier training. “You need to make sure they can bend, they can walk, they can crawl, stoop, pull… those kinds of things,” said Mike Huntsman, lieutenant for Wood River Fire & Rescue and coordinator/lead instructor for the Academy. “Some of the additional things we add into the test are being able to climb a ladder and being able to wear a self-contained breathing apparatus while still breathing comfortably,” said Christian Ervin, Hailey Fire Department’s fire inspector and training coordinator. “It gives us a good idea, for starting candidates, where their weaknesses are and where their strengths are.” Huntsman joined the Academy as an entry-level firefighter in 1995 but, in 2000, he took over running the program. According to Huntsman, manuals have become longer and longer as the years have passed, due to new equipment, new technology, the latest building materials and different textiles. The classroom portion of the Academy, for the new candidates, starts Wednesday, Jan. 28, with 15 certified instructors. Huntsman estimated that approximately 128 hours go into the classroom sessions alone, with almost double that in self-study. In training, there’s a gamut of assistance from other local fire departments; Huntsman estimates that another 25-35 people will help out with the Academy. Community service is the number one reason Huntsman and Ervin believe people want to apply to the Academy. “That’s what people get into this job for—they get in for the community and see what we do as a team and want to be a part of that,” Ervin said.
Blaine County Fire Academy candidate Josh Murphy performs a physical aptitude test on Monday evening. Courtesy photo “In order to be a part of that, we want to make sure that everyone has a certain skill set, so we can work as a team.” After long hours of training and practice, the candidates will come to their final test in May. The test includes a written portion and a physical skills portion. Candidates will also have to prove that they have what it takes to enter a burning building with live fire. “When they walk out of the test for Firefighter 1, they will receive their certificates and are nationally recognized and acknowledged for completing the skills for Firefighter 1, which also ties into the National Fire Protection Association 1001,” Huntsman said. The training coordinators urge their candidates to put in the work and to be involved with their department. “Practice tying knots, do the reading, practice putting on your gear and learn the muscle memory to do this job and the techniques involved,” Ervin stated. For the candidates, this is just the beginning. Once they graduate the Academy, their training will continue at their different departments. This includes how to drive and operate an ambulance, rope training, and much more. For more information on the Academy, call 208-720-8602. tws
Redeux Decor Creates Beauty With Any Budget
F
BY MARYLAND DOLL
or many, redecorating a home can be a daunting task that takes time, expertise and money. However, local business Redeux Decor, owned by Hailey resident Heather McGregor, is looking to change the way its clients think about decorating and design. McGregor strives to take the headache out of redecorating by seeking out stylish yet affordable options to help homeowners make the most out of their space. Budgets for a typical Redeux project can range anywhere from $400¬¬ to $4,000. For McGregor, regardless of the size of the project, every redecorating endeavor is exciting. “I can get excited about any job, big or small,” said McGregor in an interview. “I just love it! I get excited about throw pillows sometimes. No one should have to come home to a disappointing environment. They should be able to appreciate and enjoy their home and I give them the tools to do that and that is so rewarding.” While it may seem tempting to clear everything out and start fresh when redecorating, McGregor believes this isn’t the most cost-effective way to redesign a home. Instead, she offers some suggestions on how to make an old space new again. “Redecorating can be as simple as just reinventing what you already have,” she said. “It can mean rearranging a space or repainting a few pieces—redecorating doesn’t always need to mean starting from scratch.” McGregor’s redecorating business, which launched in March of 2014, is based mostly online at her site www.redeuxdecor.com. McGregor often blogs about the different projects she is working on and posts photos of her favorites. Her design aesthetic is a mix between Crate and Barrel and HGTV host Emily Henderson’s design style.

“I like clean lines and contemporary decor but, at the same time, I love eclectic pieces and can appreciate a good antique,” McGregor said. She prides herself on being able to save money without skimping on style, often by ordering from furniture and decorating stores out of town that she trusts to deliver quality items that aren’t going to break her client’s bank. Another way McGregor is able to cut down on overhead is by refurbishing pieces she finds at thrift stores, making Redeux Decor an interesting and exciting business for the Valley to utilize. Redeux Decor isn’t your typical decorating company. McGregor understands a budget, and instead of trying to push for more, her mission is to make do with what she is given. McGregor says she works very hard to respect each client’s budget and is sensitive to what they want and can afford. “I love seeing people’s reactions when I finish,” McGregor said. “I feel like it’s nice to be able to show people that they really can accomplish this kind of stuff on a budget. Redecorating can be affordable—you just have to know how to do it right.” For more information, visit ww.redeuxdecor.com. tws

Growth Equals Options And Fun For Sun Valley Nordic Festival
W
BY P.M. FADDEN
inter recreation enthusiasts across Sawtooth and Wood River valleys look forward each year to the nine-day Sun Valley Nordic Festival, an occasion that has helped spur the Wood River moniker, “Nordic Town USA.” This year’s event, which will run from Jan. 30 through Feb. 8, marks the 40th running of the Boulder Mountain Tour, a Nordic ski outing of national renown, and will feature additional festival events such as the Paw ‘N Pole, snowshoe tours and the Banff Mountain Film Festival. Aside from the events themselves, organizers are aiming to entice the whole family with a festival program that lists clinics, outdoor activities and discounts on ski gear, dining options and lodging. This year, there will be multiple Sawtooth Valley events during the Sun Valley Nordic Festival, allowing Nordic fans more options and, of course, fun for all in the North Country, festival hosts and organizers have reported. Jan. 30 promises a spectacular opening night of films and mingling in Ketchum. Ketchum Town Square will be the official festival kick-off point, with a welcoming celebration from 4:30–6:30 p.m. Friends of the Sawtooth Avalanche Center encourage festivalgoers to head to the nexStage Theatre from 6-10 p.m. for the Banff Mountain Film Festival screenings and raffle prizes. More merrymaking and sport will occupy the following day when the Blaine County Recreation District will host the annual Ski the Rails, a 10 a.m. morning mission of Nordic enjoyment that stretches between Serenade Lane in Ketchum and downtown Hailey along the Wood River Trail groomed ski path. The much-heralded Galena and the Trails Winter Benefit will take place at 5:30 p.m. that evening in the Limelight Room of the Sun Valley Inn. The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley will join the fun on Sunday, Feb. 1 with its 29th annual Paw ’N Pole dog-with-skier-in-tow Nordic event at the Sun Valley Gun Club from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information on the Paw ’N Pole, see page 8. The Stanley area will host on Feb. 2 activities that will include dining, curling, wildlife observation, cooking, skating and skiing courses and popular snowshoe tours. Festival scheduling lists three snowshoe treks, beginning with a winter birds and wildlife tour at Trail Creek from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Two and a half miles south of Stanley, the Sawtooth Winter Wonderland Walk will start at noon and go until to 3 p.m. at Highway 75 and Redfish Lake Road. Smiley Creek Lodge and the Stanley Sluice Ale House will host the day’s meals while the Stanley Outdoor Ice Rink and Pioneer Park will host all outdoor activities and courses in what the city is calling the Stanley Winter Extravaganza. Meals, meetings, races, clinics and more sustain the nine days of Sun Valley Nordic Festival entertainment. On Feb. 7, the anticipated Boulder Mountain Tour will take center stage. Tour participants will have the option of either a half or full course, with action commencing at 10 a.m. on the Harriman Trail. “The most beautiful race you will ever ski,” promise publicists for the upcoming winter event. The tour route has adopted a permanent change from its original course, which organizers said “adds a few extra k’s but makes for a smoother, safer road crossing.” The full 34.3-kilometer tour course will run from Galena Lodge to the Sawtooth National Recreation Area Headquarters with a 15k half-tour course start at Baker Creek. The adult entry fee is $110 per person, and skiers 17 years old and under can pay $45. Registration includes a race packet as well as souvenirs. Entry will close when participant numbers reach 800 skiers.

The event will begin with a new 3-kilometer “Bow Wow Boulder” skijor race. All animal lovers are invited to participate. “[Bring] your own dog or partner with a Shelter dog for Paw ’N Pole activities, including: snowshoe and cross-country ski races, costume contests, and silly pet tricks,” the Shelter stated. A new event this year is “Pup’s Pick,” where dogs have their chance to pick the 2015 Super Bowl champion. Dogs will enter the event’s football stadium and pick a treat from their favorite team’s goal post. Dogs will also be given their favorite team’s colors to sport for the rest of the day.

In 2014, the Animal Shelter serviced 1,600 animals, including those spayed and neutered for free, and homes were found for 489 pets. There are currently 25 people employed by the Shelter, including those who work at Barkin’ Basement in Hailey, and 175 volunteers put in more than 12,000 hours of time last year.

BY MARIA PREKEGES Sun Valley is the birthplace of freestyle skiing. The local freestyle legacy continued this past weekend at the Sun Valley Freestyle Spectacular on Bald Mountain. The event was sponsored by the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation and saw 100 competitors from all over the West. Teams from Washington, Idaho, Montana, California and Utah were all present for the two-day event, including one female competitor from Russia who trains in Utah. The competition was held on Roundhouse slope, and creating the course was no small task. “The coaching staff created the course with the help of Sun Valley Company and their cat drivers,” said Andy
T H E W E E K LY S U N •
Ware, program director for the freestyle, free-skiing and snowboarding teams. To create a bump course on the flat slope, Ware said, “It’s complicated but, in the end, it comes down to strong backs and shovels.” The format was single runs on Saturday, where each competitor got two guaranteed runs, making 200 runs on the course in one day. Sunday saw single runs that seeded athletes for the dual competition, which was single elimination. Judging was based on turns, air and speed. The local Ski Education Foundation athletes came out and competed in full force, with 32 participating on Saturday and nearly the same number of participants on Sunday. There were a total of 404
JANUARY 28, 2015
runs throughout the weekend—and no injuries. “With no injuries with all those runs, that’s a real accomplishment from the athletes and their coaches for being so prepared,” Ware said. “The feedback from the event was all positive. This is the largest freestyle event held in the West. No one puts 100 competitors on a mogul course besides us.” Ware also wanted to give a big thanks to the Sun Valley Resort for their cooperation, along with his event coordinator, Julie LaFleur, and all the parent volunteers. “This past weekend couldn’t have happened without them,” he said. “We showed everyone how events should be run. We showed them a good time.” tws
SUPERPIPE, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Dollar Mountain’s Superpipe opened Monday, Jan. 26. Photo by P.M. Fadden
“Snowmakers have been working around the clock since November,” Tyo said. “Making snow for the pipe is just one of their responsibilities.” Five “stick” guns and four portable “fan” guns create the volume of snow necessary to allow “groomers” and “cutters”—personnel operationally proficient in Snowcats—to begin the careful process of shaping the pipe. “Sun Valley consulted with pipe-building professionals from around the country on the placement of the Dollar Superpipe and were told that Old Bowl was ‘as perfect a natural loca-
tion as possible,’ ” Matteson said. The natural 18-degree ground grade of Old Bowl is an integral factor in the Resort’s ability to complete its Superpipe using half the water consumption standard to a feature of its size. “Our pipe has the added benefit of easy lift and track access,” said pipe cutter Kalab Arndt in an interview. Arndt has shaped the Dollar Mountain Superpipe for the last four years and works with Snow Park Technologies (SPT—freestyle specialists who consult terrain park facilities). “Our partners at SPT produce the best product
out there,” Arndt added. “Together we create work that we believe in and stand by.” “SPT brought a wealth of knowledge on safety, practices, signage, and shaping,” Matteson agreed. “Sun Valley leads the freestyle industry in safety with their help.” The Superpipe will be showcased from Jan. 29 through Feb. 1, when Dollar Mountain will host the Big Mountain West Series. Athletes from the United States of America Snowboard and Freeski Association (USASA) will compete in slope, boardercross and halfpipe events. Competi-
tion attendance is expected to be upward of 200 entrants. Feb. 12 and 13 will see the United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) Freestyle Spectacular arrive at Dollar Mountain. Locals and visitors make use of Dollar terrain facilities daily. “The park is very impressive and fun,” said 16-yearold Santiago Jnz of Chile in an interview. Jnz was at the hill visiting from his home mountain of El Colorado, Chile; it was his first time in Sun Valley. “The park setup is always awesome,” said 15-year-old
local freeskier Alvaro Jiraldo in an interview. “And, the pipe opening is sick.” Alvaro skies the terrain park every year. As for the park’s future, the Resort is consolidating snow for large-line features that will accompany the Superpipe. “The pipe and park will grow with this generation,” Arndt said. “Kids are getting out of school excited to ride the park. Their friends are joining them and, as a parent myself, that is exciting to watch.” “We like to lead the region in park and pipe,” Matteson said, “and the pipe is the cherry on top.” tws

S- Live Music _- Benefit THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JAN 28TH FROM PICABO ANGLER
F
ebruary fly fishing is coming! One of our favorite months to fish is February. Hunting season is over and winter is fully upon us. Long stretches of river go unfished except by those anglers most determined to get to them. The tools for slogs into the quietude of these runs in the river include snowshoes, a dry base layer to change into upon arrival, maybe a walking stick, and definitely something to replace the calories you are going to burn postholing your way into the winter white. February is also outstanding in the sense that everything works. Nymphs, dry flies, Streamers are all on the menu. Anglers can choose their fun from a lot of rivers and a lot of variety. February is also one of the premiere months to be fishing Silver Creek; fish tend to move into the lower river for more temperate flows and to use the shallow banks for cover. The river is open downstream from the Highway 20 bridge. The Big Wood generally becomes a dry-fly mecca in February, with massive Midge hatches and the first signs of the Little Black Stoneflies. If you’re not familiar with this little insect, be sure to have some Prince Nymphs and Zug Bugs, or even small black Girdle Bugs in size 12 and 14. Fishing these nymphs on a tight-line swing close to the bank once you begin seeing the Little Black Stones can be a deadly technique. When you see the massive Midge hatches, just be sure to have a dry fly with a Trailing Shuck. This is the only way to ensure that the fish will take a look at your artificial offering in a sea of real insects. Trout just cannot refuse the ease of picking off a Trailing Shuck Midge they know cannot fly away from them at the last minute. Like we always say, remember that everything the trout are doing out there is related to their calorie burn. They are never going to expend more calories than they are taking in at any given moment. Remember this in the water, and think hard about it. Fish are never going to expend more calories than they are taking in. We said it twice The math is important. Think about it in terms of water speed, holding areas, the size of your fly, the distance a fish has to go to eat your fly, and in many other contexts. Happy fishing, everyone!

A Spotlight On New BY BRENNAN REGO
n Monday, I became an uncle. It was an incredible day. After months of not knowing whether she’d be a boy or a girl—or what her name would be—it was the best news to hear of the arrival of my niece, Clara Leslie Lind. Newness is an incredible force in this world. Clara’s canvas is awaiting her first footsteps, and I just can’t wait to meet her and play a part in her painting. She’s incorrigibly cute, by the way. On another note, over the weekend I was lucky enough to witness another birth—this time an emergence of art. On Friday, and again on Saturday, I attended “Next To Normal”—the inaugural theatrical production at The Spot, Ketchum’s nascent performance venue. The show’s clever wordsmithing and Director Brett Moellenberg’s on-stage illustration of its deeply emotional content compelled me to come back for a second helping. It felt incredibly fresh to enjoy an artistic soiree at an establishment that promises such a bright future. The production is poignant to the Wood River Valley in many ways—from Hemingway’s history here to the everyday lives of current community members and their families and friends. The rock show is also excellently produced and thoroughly modern. The Spot’s atmosphere is relaxed and approachable; the art is energizing, trendsetting and professional. If you’re looking for something new, see “Next To Normal” at The Spot. Be warned, the musical’s material is not light reading. During both Friday’s opening night performance and the Saturday show, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. For more info, visit www.spotsunvalley.com.

A Dog-Meet-Dog World Out There BY CONNOR WADE
M
y dog Moxie is an inspiring animal. Truly, she is kind of a person. She is a friend, but still a child; a responsibility, but still a companion. And this is why I very much appreciate the Warm Springs “Dog Park.” That’s what folks call it now: the “Dog Park.” It’s also a disc golf course, doncha know… as well as a hiking trail, a pleasant walk along the river, and a wildlife refuge. It is the keeper of memories of warm scones dipped in honey and tennis lessons in the summer—yet, still a rustic, high-end, down-home spot for schmoozing the playtime hours away. The Dog Park. I don’t pretend to know too many specific facts about the history and transformation of the Warm Springs golf course into the Warm Springs Dog Park. At some point the golf course was discontinued. Plans were made to develop the property; that fell through. The tennis courts withered and thick weeds grew on the east side of the land. Yet, the proprietors of the Warm Springs Ranch property still felt the need It is a funny thing, to maintain the greens, a service to the community. the Dog Park. It I remember venturing out with my dad to play a round is a well-used and of quiet, pleasant, public-access, cart-less and free-ofmuch-needed amen- charge golf.

While there are some exceptions, nobody is really willing to introduce themselves, yet most everyone will introduce their dogs. “Oh, this is Moxie,” I will proudly and routinely announce, my Lab-Rott-Doberman mutt prancing up to the other owner’s Aussie-ridgeback-wolf mix. Moxie’s hair inevitably stands on end and she sniffs the goody bags of the wolf. “She’s a sweetie,” I say, “most of the time.” “Pretty dog,” the other owner will coo back “… Jake! Jake! Now play nice. Show some manners. I don’t think Moxie likes that.” “Ha! No, no she doesn’t” I chuckle in response. And it is these small and peculiar interactions between anonymous owners of exceptional canine specimens where I actually encounter the most humanity. In some ways there is no need to exchange boring information like names and occupations or recent statistics pertaining to one’s favorite football or hockey team(s). In this day and age, we express ourselves best not through our smartphones, but through our pets. And it is the Dog Park that has been most vital to the life and freedom of this expression. Thank you, Warm Springs Ranch. I pledge to always clean up after my dog. Connor Wade grew up in the Wood River Valley and currently resides in Ketchum.

Impact Investing 101
Seeing Red A peace sign drawn on pavement. Wikimedia Commons photo by Clyde Robinson
BY JOELLEN COLLINS “Seeing red” was not an emotion honored by my parents. I was considered the peacemaker in my home, hated it when people argued, and learned to keep the rare times I was angry to myself. I don’t resent that stricture on my behavior, but as an adult I have had to learn to grapple with the powerful emotion I have so long repressed. In my last column, I wrote about the giant and hated red gym bloomers I was forced to wear as a skinny girl, and it got me thinking about how I now find red attire my favorite choice. I even wear red glasses most of the time. Somehow I got bold enough to be able to be noticed in red and finally saw red as complementary to my gregarious nature. However, dealing with “seeing red” in the sense that phrase conveys is still tough. I don’t want to be angry, and if I am, I don’t know what to do about it, especially if it means confronting another person. I generally avoid conflict, even though that is not healthy. Occasionally I take out my frustrations while driving alone when I can mutter the “swearing like a stevedore” words I would never use in public. I try to fill my life now with positive people and events, so I do not have to be angry. Nonetheless, I am angry about the violence in the world, about people who use their anger to rationalize murder and mayhem, terrorism and intimidation, to achieve whatever goals they see as valid ends. The lack of humanity extends from those sick outcasts who shoot innocent school kids to ISIS

photographing young men being marched to their deaths or the beheadings of journalists seeking and recording the truth. Oddly, my wrath is quite futile; “seeing red” at these violations does nothing. I am truly not in control. All I can do at times is rail at the newscasts and mourn the loss of civility. I am not so thoughtless as to believe these are only modern excesses. Anyone who studies history can see that inquisitions, witch hunts and lynchings are but a few of the hideous ways human beings have violated each other throughout time. I have hoped that we had moved beyond these malicious and misguided actions. Anyone who has recently watched TV or been in a movie theater to see “Selma” or “American Sniper” must go away with a renewed sense of anguish at our “advanced” civilization. What to do with the anger all around and within me? Avoiding those feelings and letting them build up is not the answer. Other than trying to be as good a human being as I can be and working positively in my own small corner of the world, I don’t know. tws
“Impact investing is poised to change the trajectory of poverty, crime, homelessness, for education, green energy and much more. It just needs to be unleashed.” –Forbes, September 2014 In January 2007, the Los Angeles Times reported that while the Gates Foundation had poured $218 million into polio and measles immunization and research worldwide to protect health, it had invested $423 million in Eni, Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp. and Total of France. These are the companies responsible for blanketing the Niger River Delta with gas flares containing toxic byproducts that lower immunity and make children more susceptible to polio and measles, the very diseases the Gates Foundation has helped to inoculate them against. This exposé of foundation assets in direct conflict with their mission has, ironically, created a movement in the worlds of both philanthropy and investing—to bridge the gap between earning and giving. In response to this article in 2007, many foundations began to evaluate investment holdings to bring them more into alignment with their specific missions, as well as with more general environmental, social, and governance-related missions. This process continues today as impact investing earns a growing reputation as a viable asset management strategy with competitive returns. This revolutionary approach to asset management directs capital toward companies that have positive impact on environmental, social and governance-related (ESG) issues. Traditional investors and managers have joined foundations, and have turned their attention to the power and reward of this investment philosophy. Impact Investments are not an asset class—it is an additional lens applied after the traditional rigor of investment research has been applied. Diversification of impact is just as important as that of asset class. On Thursday, Jan. 29, the Local Food Alliance will host “Impact Investing For Local Food” with Sonen Capital’s Raúl Pomares and localism expert Michael Shuman.

BY KENYA SCHOTT
ne of the key components The Advocates focuses on is prevention and education. As a teen intern, I talk to eighth-grade classes each semester at Wood River Middle School. My fellow interns and I cover topics such as healthy relationships, Green Dot, and bullying. The Advocates’ community educators, Darrel Harris and Heidi Cook, spend four consecutive days in the eighthgrade health class and we join them in the classroom on the last day. One of the things we do is to help students define what is important to them in their relationships. We hang posters around the room, each labeled with different characteristics. Examples include respect, independence, trust, etc. The students go stand by the poster that best defines what they value in various relationships. Then we go around the room and have the students share why they chose the characteristic that they did. This exercise encourages students to reflect and evaluate what qualities are important to them in a relationship and think about the relationships they have as well as relationships they will have in the future. We also discuss boundaries, effective ways of communication and the difference between a healthy and an unhealthy relationship. This term, Darrel and Heidi were able to use the brand new Green Dot middle school curriculum with the eighth-graders. This program focuses on helping students recognize dating violence and bullying behaviors; gives them tools to step in and do something as bystanders; and empowers them to make a positive impact on their school. The final thing we do in the classroom is answer any questions that the middle school students may have for us. Throughout the week they put anonymous questions into a bin. They can ask us questions about anything. Common topics include relationships, class schedules, bullying, homework, sports, social situations, what high school is like and everything in between. One of the highlights of this internship is being given the opportunity to go educate future high school students. I hope through our lessons that we are giving students the tools to be outstanding citizens and make healthy choices.
The First Part Of The Journey
BY FRAN JEWELL
I
ndeed, what an adventure! Almost 15 hours in the car just one way! I have to say, Kalidor was a great traveler. Not a peep out of him except for playing in his water bucket in the crate when he got bored. And going into strange motel rooms with his folding crate was a breeze. So, how did that happen that he was such a good traveler? I did many things to encourage that. First, he was crate trained WELL before our trip. He was happy in a crate and knew great things come in his crate: his dinner, special treats, and sleep time. Every time he came inside from the backyard, he got treats in his crate, so pretty soon, the second he came in the door, he ran to his crate. Even if I didn’t keep him there for long (10 or 15 minutes), it became such a fun place to go. Why is a crate important during traveling? It’s truly a safety thing. Dogs that are allowed to be loose in a car while traveling risk being killed in an accident and, if not killed, they can be thrown from a car, disoriented, then lost. Young puppies can become destructive and take your mind off the driving. Older dogs can become barkers at other dogs or people. I know of an incident where a puppy was loose in the car, got under the driver’s leg, and then caused an accident where everyone was killed. Yes, it does happen.
JON RATED THIS MOVIE
To keep Kalidor happy, I did lots of pre-planning. I brought lots of long-term chew treats, bones, and even kibble-dispensing toys to feed him while he traveled. I taught him ahead of time to relieve himself on a leash so a leash did not become a problem when we took breaks. It is dangerous for a dog that must potty off a leash. Many dogs can become confused at being in a new environment and may run off, even those dogs that have a great recall. Along the way, I looked for fenced-in, unused areas, like schoolyards when school was not in session, especially elementary schools, roadside farms that did not appear to have planted fields, or even a large church with large grassy areas or areas that were un-landscaped. And, most of all, I always carried bags to pick up poop!!! When possible, I asked for permis-
sion to use those areas if I could find someone to ask. But, I always used those areas with respect. When we found those areas, the first thing was to go potty, then a chance to play with a toy on a string or with a retrieving toy so he was tired enough to get back in the car. In our case, we had another puppy along the same age and they played together respectfully. I avoided areas like rest stops if I could because so many dogs use those areas and they are a breeding ground for disease. Traveling with a puppy takes pre-planning to make it safe and fun for everyone!

Kalidor, On the Road To Santa Rosa
BY JONATHAN KANE
n the eastern Congo of Africa lies the magnificent Virunga National Park, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the last of the mountain gorillas, now numbering at about 900. It is also one of the most breathtaking places on earth, sort of what you imagine when you think of the splendor of Africa. Unfortunately, the country and the land that it sits on has been in turmoil for decades, with the animals, ultimately, paying the greatest price. That’s only part of the story in Orlando von Einsiedel’s amazing new documentary, “Virunga,” produced by Netflix and nominated for an Academy Award this year for best documentary.

study and National Geographic special all in one as it follows four principals through a web of politics, war, corruption and fearless courage, all set against the backdrop of the park. At the heart of the story is the discovery of oil in 2010 beneath Lake Edward and the entrance of the movie’s very bad guy—the English oil conglomerate, SOCO International. It also coincides with the birth of a rebel movement, M23, that wants to assist SOCO in the destruction of the park. It’s a story of money and greed and it’s not a pretty one. Einsiedel had originally set out to make a film about the heroic park rangers that serve to protect the park’s inhabitants from poachers but, instead, found himself in the middle of a civil war, and smartly changed his focus to encompass the whole picture. Standout among his

Girls On The Run Seeks Volunteers BY P.M. FADDEN
G
irls on the Run of the Wood River Valley (GTR), an independent council of Girls on the Run International, is looking for supporters with a willingness to help facilitate, participate or support their upcoming 2015 events. GTR recently posted a bulletin listing upcoming events that include the following: 12th Annual Community 5K & Healthy Living Expo, a programming committee, Boulder Mountain Tour aid-station help, SoleMate athletes, spring season coaching, and more. For these events, GTR seeks volunteers Mondays-Thursdays from 2:45 p.m. to 4 p.m. A “new coach” training session will take place Saturday, March 14 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “You don’t have to be a runner to be a coach—just an appreciation for what physical activity brings to your wellbeing and a desire to empower young women,” said Mary Fauth, GTR program executive director, in an interview. “We need small teams of coaches at each of our site locations who can commit to mentoring two days a week for the ten-week fall or spring season.” GTR considers program volunteer efforts tantamount to giving girls
the power to discover their own limitless potential. Volunteer opportunities begin as early as Feb. 7, with future dates scheduled as far afield as mid-August. Aid can come as either active assistance or sponsorship and may be a team or company effort as well as individual help. tws “Being with Girls on the Run was a great experience of personal growth… I felt honored to be part of an important time in these girls’ lives as they learn and grow as strong young women,” said Kendall Friedman, past GTR coach, in an interview. For more information, please contact GTR at 208788-7863 or info@girlsontherunwrv.org or visit the or- The mission of Girls on the Run of the Wood River Valley ganization’s website at www. is the growth, education and empowerment of local girls. The program meets regularly Monday–Thursday from girlsontherunwrv.org. 2:45 p.m. to 4 p.m. Courtesy photo
