I CAN HELP STOP GARNISHMENTS, FILE BACK TAXES, SET UP PAYMENT PLANS AND MORE.

Hailey Fire Department’s Rookie Of The Year BY KRISTY HEITZMAN

att Boyle has been with the Hailey Fire Department officially for one year. He has proven himself an asset to the department and has been chosen as Hailey Fire Department “Rookie of the Year.” Matt knew he wanted to serve his country and community in some capacity but he admits his first thought wasn’t necessarily “fire.” He was thinking of joining the Marines and following in the footsteps of his grandfather, who served his country in the Marines during World War II. Matt then wanted to pursue the police academy in Boise, but that is when he met Hailey Fire Chief Craig Aberbach. Matt mentioned his desire to help people and wanting to do more for his community. Fire Chief Aberbach invited him to attend the fire academy in Hailey instead. The academy was a challenge that Matt enjoyed. It was a tough workout and taught him many new skills, from academics, to new techniques on how to assist people in emergency situations safely down ladders, and in trauma situations. He was hooked! Firefighting gave Matt the essentials to help people and to do his part within the community. When Matt looks back on his first year with the Hailey Fire Department, he is bursting with pride in the skills that he has learned and the people that he works with, not only at Hailey Fire Department but with Wood River Fire and Rescue, Ketchum Fire Department, Sun Valley Fire Department, Bellevue Fire Department and West Magic Fire Department. Matt is excited for the future—to grow and expand his responsibilities as a firefighter. He plans to attend EMT classes so that he can continue to help his community. He has enjoyed the public service side of firefighting and going into the schools and helping to raise fire awareness and

Anything Is Possible For Michael Johnson Big goals for first licensed paralyzed IndyCar driver

“I expect to walk again, and I will.” –Michael Johnson

BY DICK DORWORTH

ichael Johnson, a 22-year-old and from Flint, Mich., has had several careers in his young life. He has most recently taken up Nordic skiing. “I’m going to try and get to the Paralympics on Team USA,” Johnson said. “That would be a huge accomplishment for me and show what I can really do while skiing.” In pursuit of that goal, Johnson is in Sun Valley participating in Marc Mast’s Adaptive Nordic Camp for the physically disabled. Mast has been involved from the beginning of Johnson’s skiing career; he started the Nordic Camp in

2002, and it is now the longest running camp of its kind in the country and is run in conjunction with the U.S. Paralympics Team. In 2005, Johnson was among the best 12-year-old motorcycle riders in America with 14 national titles to his name. That summer, he had a wreck in a race that broke his collarbone, right ribs, left ankle, left leg and the T5 and T6 vertebrae in his back, leaving him paralyzed below the middle of his chest. After a year of rehabilitation, Michael’s father purchased a go-kart with secured hand controls, which, on Christmas Eve 2006, Michael drove for the first time around the parking lot of his father’s business. He raced the go-kart in 2007 at the East Lansing (Mich.) Kart Track, taking first place in the Junior SuperCan class and earning the “Driver of the Year” award.

he recently announced Hailey Parks & Trails Terrain Park (HTP) gives snow enthusiasts a fun and unique facility. Tucked among the trees of a workable corner in East Hailey’s Keefer Park, the nine-feature freestyle course is the first of its kind in Hailey, and is available daily at no charge. Although snow at the park is currently melting, HTP evinces a strong ethic to keep the park alive. “A southerly exposure is difficult to maintain,” said Phil Rainey, park organizer. “Thirteen truckloads of clean snow have been brought to HTP over the last month, and a city blower has been used in spreading.” Great care has gone into park design. Safety signage is posted clearly. Two start ramps provide speed. Its seven rails and one box feature have been staked to the earth for stability–a thoughtful effort absent from most commercial terrain parks. Two flat-headed shovels are provided for building and maintenance; the rack for those shovels was a welded donation from student and snow enthusiast Connor Lohrke. Additionally, HTP offers picnic and restroom facilities onsite. “[HTP] has been a major community effort,” Lamar Waters, Hailey Parks and Lands board member, stated in a recent interview. That a community of Hailey’s size should have at their disposal such a terrain park—and that said facility should be available freely—is a ski industry rarity. Park conception stemmed from a city goal of creating an area “to recreate during winter.” Further discussion during a springtime strategic planning session grew that initial “recreational area” idea into a free terrain park zone for snow enthusiasts. Hailey community members Rainey and Councilman Pat Cooley, along with Waters, took the lead, making those conceptual discussions a reality. Alpine Tree Service trucked in snow. Sun Valley Company donated the park features, and community volunteers lent the labor. “The park has seen a lot of use,” Rainey said. “Now we need to organize an approach for longevity.” The concept of “street sessions” or “backyard builds” is a dynamic aspect to freestyle skiing and snowboarding. Such “sessions” are venues for building confidence, honing skills, filming and camaraderie. HTP offers an evolving setting with the capability of fulfilling freestyle interests by granting park users complete creative control. HTP is a well-crafted freestyle outlet of uncommon generosity. Should the park melt, that free outlet for creativity will be lost. The question now is: What can we do to keep this good thing going? To generate answers, park organizers, along with city officials, are exploring every option. “We’d like to try another load of snow from the airport this week,” Rainey said. “With more snow, we’d like to install additional ‘box’ features that park users can practice on and improve their skills.” Plans for the future of HTP include the exploration of implementing regular snow drop-offs from sectors that would require snow removal regardless and the early forming of a snow foundation deep enough to carry through a winter. Rainey is excited to see what the future holds. “It’s a work in progress,” he said. tws

Mariel Hemingway To Speak At ‘Share A Smile’ Event Hosted By The Crisis Hotline

“The event will be lots of fun and we encourage the community to come and join us and ‘Share a Smile!’ ” –Levie Smith, Crisis Hotline event coordinator BY K. HOFFMAN

he Crisis Hotline of Blaine County will host a benefit to raise community awareness and funds for its “Share a Smile” event. The event will be held at the 511 Building in Ketchum, on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 6:30 p.m. and features a silent auction, improvisational performances, hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine, a raffle and live music. Actor, author and suicide prevention advocate, Mariel Hemingway, will be the featured guest speaker. Hemingway has a deep connection to the areas of depression and suicide and actively speaks about social awareness in these areas for children and adults nationwide. The granddaughter of Earnest Hemingway and her family have lived in the Sun Valley area for many years and continue to enjoy the outdoor life the Valley has to offer. The Crisis Hotline, founded in Blaine County in 1987, is a 24-hour/seven-days-aweek crisis and suicide intervention and referral service. The hotline has worked hard over the past 27 years to provide immediate and confidential help, hope and healing to empower individuals facing serious life challenges, suicidal thoughts, emotional or situational problems. The highly trained volunteers have completed extensive courses and in-depth training to provide and assist clients on a broad spectrum of topics. Studies have shown the number of suicides drop significantly after the use of talk therapy. The Crisis Hotline is the only hotline in the State of Idaho that operates around the clock, 365 days a year, fielding on average 600-plus calls per year. “People who call the Crisis Hotline may be experiencing a number of complicated conditions, including substance abuse, depression and unemployment in addition to suicide risk,” said Sher Foster, Crisis Hotline director, in an interview. “Phone volunteers undergo rigorous training to provide effective referrals and immediate assistance to those who call the hotline. Help is just a phone call away.” “Share a Smile” is a global campaign that focuses on raising awareness on mental

health and eliminating any stigmas that prevent individuals from seeking out help. As the story goes, the idea behind the campaign came about after a distressed individual with the intention to end his life received a serendipitous smile from a complete stranger, and that averted him from suicide and caused him to seek help. In addition to the “Share a Smile” event, the Crisis Hotline will be launching and promoting a media campaign that will invite the community to participate and post “Share a Smile” on social media. The purpose of the social media campaign is for education and awareness for the Crisis Hotline. “We are very excited to have Mariel Hemingway speak on behalf of the Crisis Hotline benefit this Saturday night,” said Levie Smith, Crisis Hotline event coordinator and volunteer, in an interview. “The event will be lots of fun and we encourage the community to come and join us and ‘Share a Smile!’ ” Advance tickets to the Feb. 7 event are $35 available at Silvercreek Realty’s office, located at 311 Leadville Ave. in Ketchum. Tickets may also be purchased at the door on the day of the event for $40. For more information about the event, call 208-720-4093. Contributions and support of the Crisis Hotline can also be made online at www.thecrisishotline.org. The 24hour hotline number is 208-788-3596. tws

The paid teen intern group was created a year and a half ago. “Through a variety of projects we act as educators and peer influencers, which not only increases healthy relationships but leadership skills as well,” the ETCs selfmade website stated. The afternoon offers a detailed look at students speaking out against dating violence through the use of images and words. “Photographs and words are two of the most powerful ways to create social awareness and change among today’s teens,” said Heidi Cook, community educator and teen intern coordinator for The Advocates. “These projects encouraged students to think about their ideals on building healthy relationships and then enabled them to share those thoughts in a creative and meaningful way.”

The powerful “Photos For Change” project was selected by Chris Koch’s student leadership class to convey their ideas and thoughts on healthy relationships through powerful images. Local photographer Kat Smith generously donated her time and talents to provide the images for the exhibit. “By doing this project I learned a lot about the culture of violence and how much of a problem it is even around our own community,” said Bailey Cleven, Wood River High School student. “I really liked the ability to express my opinion and show my friends what matters to me.” Students from Caitlin Renz’s English as a Second Language class elected to use their words to influence social change as part of a statewide effort to engage young people to join the movement to create a compassionate community.

WE PROUDLY CARRY THESE FINE MATTRESS BRANDS

BY YANNA LANTZ Company of Fools (COF) is proud to present the 2001 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning drama “Proof” by David Auburn. As part of The Center’s BIG IDEA multidisciplinary project “The Brain,” COF will hold 14 public performances and one student matinee. Recent winner of the Governor’s Award for “Excellence in the Arts” and COF Core Company Artist, Denise Simone, is the director for this production. The play is recommended for ages 13 and up. The equity cast includes local actor Keith Moore as Robert, Hanna Cheek as Catherine, Neil Brookshire as Hal and Cassandra Bissell as Claire. New York-based actress, Cheek, last appeared in COF’s “Other Desert Cities.” Brookshire was seen in COF’s most recent production, “Peter and the Starcatcher.” This will be Bissell’s COF debut. “Proof” is widely regarded as Auburn’s best work. The play delves into the life of a Chicago family and explores the lines between genius and madness, gender bias, family and trust. “David Auburn started ‘Proof’ by exploring two images, one of a young woman sitting alone outside after the death of a parent, and the relationship between sisters and caring for a parent,” Simone said. After the death of her brilliant father, the protagonist, Catherine, faces long-denied feelings and fears about her own mental stability. Robert was an astounding mathematician at the University of Chicago, but descended into madness; Catherine was his sole care provider and dropped out of school. Her estranged sister, Claire, comes back to Chicago for her father’s funeral and tries to mend broken bonds and keep her sister from breaking. “I think everyone falls into a role in his or her family dynamics, and I think there’s a connection between Catherine and Robert that Claire never got to partake in,” Bissell said. “But somebody also has to take care of the practicalities of life like paying the bills, and that’s Claire’s role—to keep stuff together.” Hal, a former student of Robert’s, tries to comfort Catherine and help sort through Robert’s crazed notebooks. “Hal’s one of those people who knows the difference between what’s great and what’s brilliant, but he’s not one of those people,” Brookshire explained. “He’s quite bright, but he’s not Robert.” “Proof” is told through flashbacks and a non-linear timeline for dramatic effect and to keep audiences on their toes. “The way that the information is doled out really brings into question every sense of the word ‘proof,’” Cheek explained. “Scenes are turned on their head several times, and it’s up to the audience to believe what they think is true.” “This will be the kind of play that sparks dialogue after you see it,” Simone said. “I know there will still be people who dispute the final outcome and don’t believe there is any proof to the final conclusion, but there will be people arguing against them, too. It’s really taut, very delicious storytelling.” Tickets are $35, $25 for seniors and Center members and $15 for students 18 and under. Parties of six or more can receive group rate tickets for $25 each. To purchase a ticket, go to sunvalleycenter.org or call 208-578-9122.

A Tribute To David Stoecklein (1949–2014) Now At The Community Library An exhibit of David Stoecklein’s iconic photography of the American West is now on display at The Community Library in Ketchum through Mar. 15. Stoecklein, a Ketchum-based photographer and longtime Wood River Valley resident, was one of the most recognized western photographers of contemporary times. He sold more than a million books featuring his work, and did high-profile commercial photography for companies such as Jeep and Coca-Cola. However, he is best known for his images of cowboys working in the Idaho landscape. For more information, call 208-806-2621.

The Boise Curling Club hosted the third annual Sawtooth Outdoor Bonspiel (SOB) in Stanley, from Jan. 23-25. The bonspiel is one of two outdoor tournaments in the United States. Teams came from as far away as Wisconsin and Arizona to partake in the high mountain air and play curling in the shadow of the Sawtooth Mountains. The event had curlers enjoying the sunrise starting at 7 a.m. and hanging out under a ceiling of blue skies and partaking of fancy keg beer throughout the day. The bonspiel brought out people from all walks of life. “The diversity of people… you’d never get such a unique mix of people in one place doing the same things,” said Sue Jerf, who curls regularly with her husband, JT. “You have hipsters, and you have, like, alternadudes, and you have engineers. It’s really popular with engineers because of all the physics involved. There’s, you know, friction, trajectory, and speed and temperature. And there’s a lot of physics involved in it that if you were really gonna start analyzing it and splitting hairs, you can really get off on that aspect of it.” Jerf loves the sport’s high tradition of sportsmanship. The winning team buys the first round for the losers; fouls are called by whoever fouled. As a sport, curling has grown in popularity since its readmission to the Olympics in 1998. Curling was at the first Winter Games in 1924 in Chamonix, France, but was dropped until the Nagano Games in 1998. At first glance, curling can be perceived as an absurd sport. Scots in the 15th century, with granite stones, brooms and vivid imaginations, invented the sport on a frozen lake. The official 36page rulebook, with its strange terminology, such as end, house and skip, adds to the absurdity of sweeping a broom in front of a rock bumbling down the ice.

Contrary to popular belief, the sweeping actually helps the stone go farther, straighter and smoother. The sweeps are members of the team who clear and smooth the ice, allowing for less friction. However, sweeping on an outdoor rink only does so much. The SOB tailored the rules slightly to account for outdoor play. Because the ice is outside, it is far more slippery than the temperature- and humidity-controlled indoor ice typically used for curling. The outdoor ice also changes radically with any weather, or change in temperature from bodies. “Outdoor curling is unpredictable,” said James Clark, a native from Scotland. “And that’s kind of fun because everybody is in the same boat. We kind of know going into it we’re gonna lose. But [in] outdoor curling there is a lot of deviation and stuff, and we might just win one game.” Team “EEEEEBBBOOOLLLLLAAAAAA” (sung like the Ricola commercials) from Wausau, Wisc., won the bonspiel. The four teammates each has 10 years of curling experience and spend every other weekend curling across the Midwest. The curlers are on the tail end of their collegiate careers with a love unmatched for the sport. “I have broken up with a girlfriend over curling,” skip Ryan Kernosky said. “So curling is love to me. It is fantastic. I’ll do it for the rest of my life, man.”

Curling Rules

There are pages and pages of strange rules in curling. The sport is most like shuffleboard in throwing the stones across the ice at a target and bocce ball in how it is scored. There are two teams of four people. Each player throws two stones per end/round and each game lasts typically eight rounds. Players take turns throwing the 42-pound granite stone down the ice at a large X-foot target/house. The stone closest to the center of the house is the point stone. Teams score one point per stone in the house closer to the center than the opposing team’s stones. tws

Curler Lee Banville prepares to sweep in front of the stone in hopes that the unpredictable outdoor ice doesn’t throw the stone too far off course. Banville plays for “Rocks in the KettleHouse” out of Missoula, Mont. Courtesy photo

“This is my third year competing. It’s a thrilling alternative to downhill skiing.” –Dan Van Der Meulen, local competitor BY K. HOFFMAN

he Wood River Extreme Skijoring Association (WRESJA) is gearing up for its 2015 skijoring race weekend, Feb. 7–8, to be held at Swiftsure Ranch in Bellevue. The family-friendly event will feature food booths, a beer garden and music, along with all the exciting fast action of the races. Admission is $5 at the gate and children under the age of 10 are free. This year’s proceeds will benefit the Swiftsure Ranch Therapeutic Equestrian Center and the Wood River High School Rodeo Team and the event is run entirely by volunteers; 80 percent of the registration entry goes back into the pot as prize money for the overall winner, plus an additional $5,000. The weekend kicks off with registration at Mahoney’s Bar & Grill in Bellevue, from 6-9 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 6. Any skiers or riders interested in competing are welcome to show up at registration, with or without a team. The races start at noon on both Saturday, Feb. 7 and Sunday, Feb. 8. Teams consist of a horse and rider who pull a skier through a challenging course of gates, jumps and grab-rings to compete for the fastest clean run. “This is my third year competing. It’s a thrilling alternative to downhill skiing,” said local competitor Dan Van Der Meulen. “I enjoy it because it combines horsemanship, skiing, speed, danger and money!” After initial scores are tallied on Saturday, contestants and spectators are invited to the Silver Dollar Saloon in Bellevue for a party complete with prizes and WRESJA swag, a gun raffle and team auction. Skiers, snowboarders and riders of all ages and skill levels will be competing in divisions ranging from youth, to open and novice. A successful run requires racers to cross the finish line of the 600- to 900-foot course with the skier having executed one to three jumps ranging from 3 to 6 feet high and grabbing from three to nine rings. Points are deducted for missed or dropped rings and missed jumps. The skier’s speed often reaches up to 40 mph. Winners are based on the combined overall score for both days. Bill Bobbitt, president of the WRESJA, has been involved with the association for four years and has been president for two years. “I’m a horse person and have been around horses all my life and I love rodeo. It’s a fun thing to do in the winter and my daughter rides in the event,” he said. After Sunday’s final races, the fun continues with an awards ceremony and party at Mahoney’s in Bellevue at 6 p.m. Michelle Bobbitt, secretary/treasurer of the WRESJA, will be competing again this year as a horse rider. “Our race brings people in from all over,” Bobbitt said. “I have a friend flying in from Missouri and some friends coming from Montana, so it is a good time for all of us to hang out together and tell tall tales. Skijoring is an adrenaline rush and so much fun. The camaraderie of being with the other participants is a lot of fun and sure to be a good time.” For information on event, competing or volunteering, contact Bobbitt at 208-720-7798 or visit woodriveresja.com. Swiftsure Ranch Therapeutic Equestrian Center is located just south of Bellevue, at 114 Calypso Lane.

Light refreshments will be served.

“I want to race and win the Indianapolis 500,” Johnson said. Courtesy photo

The following year, he was first in the Rotax Junior class in Michigan and qualified for the Rotax Nationals. In 2009, Johnson moved up to the Great Lakes Pro Series and scored six first-place finishes and 12 podiums in the Tag and Pro classes. By 2011, he was driving Formula level cars. In 2012, his rookie season, he finished 15th in the “Mazda Road to Indy” development ladder system designed to advance career-minded drivers to the Verizon IndyCar Series and Indianapolis 500.

“My plan for the future is to race as much and as long as I can,” Johnson said. “I want to race and win the Indianapolis 500. I’m also going to try and get to the Paralympics on Team USA. I’m trying to get as many people as I can following my story and sharing that anything is possible with a little hard work and determination. Once you do that, anything is possible.” Johnson has had stem cell surgery in Portugal on his back in an attempt to rejuvenate his spinal cord. Before surgery, Johnson

was classified as a T5-T6 paraplegic (middle of chest) and, after the surgery and intensive rehab (three days a week for three hours a day), he is classified as L1-L2 (just below the belly button), according to the American Spinal Injury Association impairment scales for measuring spinal cord injury. “I expect to walk again, and I will,” Johnson said. Meanwhile, he will strive for the Indianapolis 500 and the Paralympics. tws

Finding Religion And Respect Upcoming Jewish-Christian Dialogues In Sun Valley

t. Thomas Episcopal Church and the Wood River Jewish Community are hosting a series of three Jewish-Christian dialogues throughout February. All dialogues are free and will take place Sunday at 11 a.m. inside the Parish Hall at St. Thomas Episcopal Church. “When I came here in July, the Wood River Jewish Community said, ‘We want to do that,’ and I reached out to Father Ken to see if we could work something out,” Rabbi James Mirel said. “These dialogues enrich us,” Father Ken Brannon said. “It is important to know our own identity, scripture and traditions. Talking to others about their faith causes us to reflect back on what we do and why.” Mutual respect is important to both men. Their religions have a lot of common interests, but it must be recognized that there has been a history of antagonism between Jews and Christians. The feud goes both ways, and both religions have some healing to do before they can adequately learn about and respect each other. The first dialogue, titled “Pitfalls and Possibilities,” was held on Feb. 1 and looked at clearing the ground. Rabbi Mirel and Fr. Brannon modeled how to have a respectful dialogue, without agreeing all the time, but disagreeing respectfully. “We need to first acknowledge that there has been a history of misunderstandings, a history of hurt between traditions, and that as a culture we have forgotten how to listen,” Fr. Brannon said. The next dialogue will be on Feb. 8 and is titled “Covenant and Community.” “The way we understand who we are, as a religion and a people, is that we have a relationship with God and God has a relationship with us,” Rabbi Mirel said. “Historically, this goes back 4,000 years, but every generation has to renew the covenant, so we have the sense that we are a covenant

community.” “Christians have a sense that they know the Bible,” Fr. Brannon chuckled. “Sometimes, if we stop and listen to our forbearers who gave us the Bible, we actually might approach our own faith differently. So, we want to see how these core concepts have grown out of Judaism or where we’ve really departed into new terrain.” The final session, titled “Resurrection and Redemption,” will be held on Feb. 15 and deals with the concepts of eternal meaning. Fr. Brannon defined resurrection as “by an act of God, being raised up and made whole.” “If Christians hear the word resurrection, they will automatically think of Jesus Christ,” he said. “What is interesting is that that is not where a Jewish person would start. So for us, we understand resurrection through Christ yet that there is a tradition of resurrection that proceeded that figure in history.” “Resurrection really means coming back to life,” Rabbi Mirel explained. “Death is not the end of life; there’s a future beyond life, and that’s redemption.” At the end of the day, respect for each other’s faith is the main goal of these dialogues. “Then, perhaps, friendships will form– whether that be individuals or communities–and we can do things together that we’ve never done before as a team,” Rabbi Mirel concluded. St. Thomas Episcopal Church is located at 201 Sun Valley Road, Sun Valley. For more information, call 208-726-5349. tws

Inductees Chosen For Ski Hall Of Fame Three deserving individuals to be honored BY MARIA PREKEGES

he Sun Valley Ski Hall of Fame will honor three of the local ski community’s best at its annual induction ceremony on Friday, Feb. 13, at The Community Library in Ketchum. The ceremony will take place inside the library’s lecture room. Doors open at 4:30 p.m., with the ceremony starting at 5 p.m. The event is open to the public and free of charge. Refreshments will be provided. This year’s Ski Hall of Fame inductees are Muffy Davis, Jack Simpson and Sigi Engl. Each of these individuals has demonstrated excellence in their sport and dedication to the local community. Each year, nominating committees composed of local alpine and Nordic athletes select the inductees. “The skiing legacy of the Wood River Valley is not just a matter of nostalgia, but part of our current community,” said Jenny Emery Davidson, executive director of The Community Library. “To keep that story is important, and the Ski Hall of Fame is one great way to keep doing that, and the library is eager to keep sharing the stories of remarkable individuals who are tied to the Wood River Valley.” Muffy Davis Davis grew up in the Wood River Valley and was a talented member of the U.S. Junior Ski Team. After becoming paralyzed from the chest down in a skiing accident, Davis decided to “thrive” rather than merely survive. A world champion disabled ski racer, Davis has won more than 25 World Cup titles, two overall World Cup victories and four Paralympic medals. Davis has a run on Seattle Ridge named after her, appropriately called “Muffy’s Medals.” Jack Simpson Simpson was born and raised on a farm in Wendell, Idaho, and moved to Ketchum in 1939 where skiing became his passion. At only 16 years old, Simpson set the record in the Diamond Sun and went on to make his mark in the ski world. In 1960, he took over the junior racing program in Sun Valley. His dedication to coaching led to the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. Sigi Engl Engl was born in Kitzbuhel, Austria and became a ski instructor by the age of 15. In 1939, after instructing at Yosemite National Park, Engl joined the Sun Valley Ski School. In 1941, he won the prestigious Harriman Cup. In 1952, he became the director of the Sun Valley Ski School where he became known for his innovative instructional methods and helped launch the Sun Valley Ski School to international acclaim. Sun Valley also named a run after him, and “Sigi’s Bowl” is a reminder to this great ski talent. tws

S- Live Music _- Benefit THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR FEB. 4TH FROM PICABO ANGLER

ebruary is the last month to get on Silver Creek before the spring closure. The Creek is open to catch and release fishing downstream from the Highway 20 bridge. The weather predictions for the week include mostly cloudy days in the South Valley, which should make for excellent fishing through the week and weekend. The clouds and subsequent low pressure should also make for superb fishing on the Big Wood River, Big Lost River and the South Fork of the Boise River. The biggest fish in Silver Creek are far more active with cloud cover and a bit of tint to the water. These conditions allow the bigger fish to come out from under the banks and ice shelves with a little less fear of attack from above. The fishing continues to mainly be streamer fishing, with non-weighted flies. Try different stripping techniques until you hook up, and then stick with that one! The Big Wood should also fish very well with cloud cover. February is a fun month on the Wood, as dry fly fishing, nymph fishing, and streamer fishing are all effective ways to catch fish. Despite the variety of techniques, anglers don’t need a huge variety of flies. Griffiths Gnats and Tie-Down Midges are great dry flies, Zebra Nymphs and Brassies are excellent nymph patterns, and for streamers, try Olive Woolly Buggers. The Big Lost should also be on an angler’s radar this week. The same flies you would use on the Big Wood should be effective on the Lost as well. Also focus on a few more weighted nymphs, like Prince Nymphs and Hares Ears, if the sun happens to pop out. There are plenty of deep buckets on the Lost; being able to prospect the bottoms of these in the dead of winter can often produce the biggest Lost River rainbows of the season! The South Fork of the Boise River is also a great place to go under cloudy skies, although it can be infinitely less predictable and more fickle…but, when it’s on, the fishing there can be as good as it gets anywhere in the West. If you are looking for a great winter fishing experience, don’t hesitate to hire a guide. Most fulltime guides are sitting by the phone in the winter, dying to show guests how great the winter fishing can be. Winter rates are also very affordable, and in Picabo, they even throw in private access to water rarely fished! Happy fishing, everyone!

Consignment 101 BY MARYLAND DOLL

...Keeping an eye on the ups and downs of fashion in the Wood River Valley.

sun ‘toon

Consignment shopping isn’t just a hobby; it’s an art. While it may take more practice and patience than boutique browsing, the vintage treasures and unbelievable savings make it worth the hunt. For those inclined to journey into consignment shopping, I have some tips for how to make the most out of what might be an overwhelming experience for many: Tip 1: Patience Remember, this isn’t a boutique store. There’s going to be a lot more inventory and usually a lot less space. While in a boutique you see a pattern or “look” that the store has carefully created (which allows you to shop similar styles), in here there is no “look,” because the clothing has come from a multitude of consumers. Don’t expect to walk in and immediately see something you must have; consignment shopping means settling in and really digging through what’s available. Tip 2: Don’t Be Distracted By Bright Colors When I first shopped consignment, I would just go from rack to rack looking for something that caught my eye (i.e., shinny, bright, fuzzy, etc.). However, this will only lead to the misconception that consignment stores offer nothing practical, or applicable to your everyday wardrobe. Instead… Tip 3: Keep Your Closet In Mind Not only think about the gaps you have in your closet (a consignment store can be a great place to find a normally expensive item, like a pea coat, down jacket or purse, for a fraction of the retail cost), but also think about the items in your closet you wear the most so you can find things that fit your taste and wardrobe. This will also help you find merit in items you might have otherwise passed over because they didn’t stand out right away. My message is simple: No, consignment shopping isn’t easy and while you may have to separate the vintage Chanel from the homemade Christmas sweaters, secondhand shopping can teach you a lot about your fashion tendencies and help make you a more conscientious, savvy and well-dressed shopper.

Shovels, Hoes, Unions & Life’s Circle BY BRENNAN REGO

Shovels And Hoes By Brennan Rego

We’re born unwrought, some cooler red, some old-soul white-hot, but all hungry, feral, liquid iron. Injected with mind and light, we howl often, ration our rationality and are unstoppable.

Wielding the shield of our kin, the sword of ourselves, we cut through the furnace of yet-shifting souls to find where our friends lie and lie. With them around—some kept close, others closer—our foes are found sooner or later, and distrust begins to dim the bellows of our youth. We jump to the anvil and the hammer pounds unyielding. We begin to chill, to harden. Thorny walls shoot up that cause both sides to bleed. Our ailing heat writhes serpentine and sharpens. Neither soft, nor brittle yet, we become one of two castes cooled: Either shovels—always digging, giving, tossing to others what we undermine, dirt and gold alike. Or hoes—ever pulling, hoarding, leeching, sucking inward what we find, gold and dirt alike. We all must choose—or do we?—which of these two shoes we’re meant to fill. And through our quotidian wayfaring, our footwear grows cozy—either way. Our heartstrings quiver mute and freezing. Our open wounds, still exposed, need closure. No time for looking back or for fleeting laughter. Iron’s strong, but alloy’s stronger. So, steel’s now what we’re after. The anvil’s far, the furnace farther; an ally with quid pro quo we need to help us navigate this fecal creek. The bow must meet the lyre such that those heartstrings sing, and burn and howl again anew to fuse the good stuff through a brand new pot of liquid, fiery, iron goo! Being oxygen-breathing beings, we do rust—or are reduced to dust—often mend, then at once break and purge our rotten cages:

SPOTS more about it

Carrie Strahorn Hostess of the West

TONY TAYLOR

zra Pound, a famous homeboy poet from Hailey, described the Wood River mining district as “5,000 feet above sea level and five million miles from ANYwhere, let alone from civilization.” In 1880, most of the startup building was done with wood and canvas. Most of the entertainment included active elbows at one of the 20 bars. The miners that were lucky slept five to a bed in makeshift “boarding houses” and those not so lucky rolled out their bedrolls beneath wagons in the streets. Mail usually got through twice a week from Arco, but in the winter, it was closer to months. Common to most early citizenry was the pick, pan and shovel. In the mix were drovers, carpenters, blacksmiths and boomers. The remaining few included indigent losers, entrepreneurial wags and, most disrespected of all, the “barefoot capitalists.” They worked the claims with their jaw and promissory notes of un-

limited funds behind them and nothing but a ticket for a pawned watch in front of them. Carrie Strahorn and her husband stepped off the Blackfoot Stage in Bellevue around noon and by dark were able to find accommodations in a tiny room off the hotel bar. There was only one chair and a bed. Carrie carried the chair with her for a month because it was one of only several in town at the time and she was a lady. It became a symbol that started her steep road to “civilize” the community. She didn’t have much to work with except her genteel background and a core of 400 willing volunteers from a questionable top-tobottom mix of the migrant population. They wanted “culture.” Under her tutelage, they organized dances and she demanded full dress for all participants. She discreetly ignored the obvious caste systems and allowed attendance for miner and banker alike if they followed her codes in dress as well as behavior.

Carrie sponsored an afternoon tea and all the ladies had to bring their own spoon, cup, knife, fork, plate and chair. The tea group called themselves The Committee and from that group several local bands were promoted. Dances became a scheduled Saturday night event. Local theater troupes and thespian societies popped up and attendance was held to the same dress and behavior code. Even though most of the seven newspapers in Bellevue mocked the actors and the intellectual content of the productions, all performances played to a full house. When the railroad arrived in the spring of 1883, Carrie Strahorn’s legacy as social arbiter and respected cultural icon was undisputed. The Iron Horse, however, brought with it a cultural shift and the popular fads and timely events from the outside world diminished the local culture of community events. “Civilization,” as a law and order issue, did not arrive until August 1, 1884, when Hailey had its first public hanging.

Matrimonial Musings BY DICK DORWORTH

“Marriage is a gamble, let’s be honest.” –Yoko Ono “A divorce is like an amputation; you survive it, but there’s less of you.” –Margaret Atwood

“‘E.T.’ began with me trying to write a story about my parents’ divorce.” –Steven Spielberg

marriage is frequently among the happiest, most celebratory and festive of social gatherings, an event in which two people formally join their lives into one unit in which to live happily ever after. Wedding ceremonies, whether grandiose or humble, are infused with hope for the wellbeing of those being wedded as well as for the larger society. Every day in America approximately 5,800 couples are married. That’s a lot of happiness, celebration, festivity and gatherings of clans and friends. Not surprisingly, most people love to talk about weddings and how happy the newlyweds look and act. Whether the ceremony involves the couple being married by a justice of the peace in a city hall with a couple of strangers called in as witnesses, a “proper” wedding in a church before a man of the cloth, a gathering of the tribe in a mountain meadow presided over by a relative or close friend or a lavish formal procedure costing hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) at a posh resort, marriage is big business. As, of course, is divorce, but—not surprisingly— most people don’t love talking about divorces and how miserable recent divorcees look and, sometimes, act. Statistics reveal that every day in America approximately 2,400 divorces take place. That’s an average of 100 an hour. Nearly 50 percent of all marriages in America end in divorce: 41 percent of first marriages end in divorce; 60 percent of second marriages end in divorce; 73 percent of third marriages end in divorce. After the third marriage, even statisticians no longer bother to keep track, turning away from Einstein’s observation that “The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.” Einstein is best known for his theory of special relativity expressed as E=mc2, but before giving the world that description of itself, he won the Nobel Prize for physics for his

february 4, 2015

theory of general relativity. Despite his many outrageous accomplishments and his assurance that the world is comprehensible, so far as is known, he did not leave us with a comprehensible theory of marriage and divorce. Einstein was married twice and part of the agreement of divorcing his first wife was that he gave her all the money he received for winning the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.

Every day in America approximately 5,800 couples are married. That’s a lot of happiness, celebration, festivity and gatherings of clans and friends.

That is, divorce, too, is big business. In all cultures and societies the rite of marriage is the culmination of the emotional/practical/legal obligations the two people involved intend (or at least are rolling the dice) to honor, enjoy, share and live happily ever after within. When it doesn’t work out, as it doesn’t about half the time, the rite of divorce is the culmination of a different set of emotional/ practical/legal obligations, and we all know people who have been enriched by marriage and impoverished by divorce, and, of course, vice-versa. If Einstein had left us a formula, it likely would show that it all balances out in the end. tws

BY JONATHAN KANE

allas Wilson, a senior at Wood River High School, moved to the Wood River Valley three years ago, from Folsom, Calif. “It was a really big change for me because it’s a lot smaller here and there were a lot more kids there to be around,” he says. “I also miss my old friends, and if they could be here, it would be perfect. What I love the most is that we have the mountain in Sun Valley and I learned to snowboard here.” Wilson made the move to the Valley with his mom. “It seemed small here but everyone was nice to me at school,” he says. “Of course, my favorite part is that I had never lived in the middle of the mountains and living by Baldy is incredible. I’ve also made a lot of great friends and I’ve made them in different groups of people, like I’m close to many of the football players. I was also pretty scared when I started because it was a new school and it was a lot smaller than my old school and because everyone knew I was the new kid and I hadn’t established myself at all.” So far, Wilson has enjoyed Wood River high school. “I like it more than my other school,” he says. “There are great teachers here and a great staff that has really helped me out. If I need assistance with anything, I can always talk to someone. When I got out

of the hospital with a snowboarding injury, everyone pitched in to help and let me know that if I needed anything, they were there for me. “My favorite subject at school is history. I really like learning about World War II and the Cold War. I’m fascinated by how those events shape our world today.” Wilson’s interests today are focused on being a budding videographer, and for his senior project he produced and directed a short video. “I just wanted to show the good side of the Valley because sometimes we have a bad reputation for drugs and alcohol,” he says. “Actually, we are very active kids and I wanted to give a lighter touch as a first impression of the Valley. The video is comprised of different kids doing different things, like football players working out, skiers and snowboarders, weightlifters and other activities. The running time is two minutes long. I had wanted to make a video for a while and clips I saw on YouTube inspired me. People have been able to make a career of video by doing what they love to do. I wanted to make something in my own image and it took three months to put it all together and then I put it on the school news and YouTube. It came out a lot better than I thought and I got nothing but compliments about it on Facebook. I love it because it’s an artistic venture and I was able to create something in my own image.” tws

UI-Blaine Extension Tips

Determining Where To Plant Your Garden BY SARAH BUSDON

tested to find out if you’re lacking any soil nutrients.

pring is rapidly approaching and so is the time when you can start planning out your garden. Deciding where to place your garden is easy if you consider these four important things: sunlight, soil, water and access.

•Sunlight: Most vegetable crops need at least five to six hours of direct sunlight per day. If your garden site is too shady, think about whether you can remove a shading fence, shrub or tree. Light can be improved by painting nearby walls or fences white. •Soil: Of all the resources in your garden, soil is the easiest to improve. You can always make your soil and its drainage better by adding organic matter. If you dig about 12 inches into your soil without breaking your back or the shovel, or reaching a puddle of water, then you can probably grow vegetables with only a few minor amendments. You can always opt to have your soil

Of all the resources in your garden, soil is the easiest to improve. You can always make your soil and its drainage better by adding organic matter.

•Water: You don’t want too much water in your soil but you need to consider how you’re going to get your water when you need it. Is there a spigot nearby? How much hose do you need to reach your entire garden? Are you going to use overhead watering?

february 4, 2015

•Access: Keep in mind you’ll need to get things in and out of your garden, often big, heavy things such as wheelbarrows of compost. Identify the shortest route between your garden and your compost area if you have one or your garden and a loading area in the street or driveway. Keep this path open when laying out your planting areas. Another thing to consider is how accessible your garden is to pets. Low barriers will keep dogs out. Will you need a fence?

guest commentary

Who Needs A Mammogram?

BY ANA MARIA CUNEO

y mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at 57. Although she suspected that something was wrong, she didn’t go for a checkup until the symptoms were too obvious to ignore. By then, there was little doctors could do and she died two years later. Because of this family history, my doctor recommended that I get an annual mammogram and I follow her advice. The procedure is simple: I go to the out-patient clinic of my hospital and a technician typically takes two images of each of my breasts, an exercise that takes about fifteen minutes. A week later, I get a letter in the mail with the results. That gives me peace of mind because I know that if I ever get a bad report, unlike my mother, I would have time to do something about it. All women are at risk for breast cancer. That is a fact. In this country, not counting some kinds of skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the second most common cause of death from cancer among women of any race or ethnicity. The statistics are scary. They show that about one in eight women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer and the risk increases with age. Betty Kisere, a registered technician in radiology and mammography at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, says that women with normal risk factors should start their routine screening at 40. “If they have any family history of breast or ovarian cancer or have personal concerns,” said Kisere, “a baseline screening mammogram can be done at age 35 without a doctor’s order; anyone younger than 35 would need a doctor’s order.”

Does a mammogram hurt? From personal experience, I can say no. “And now,” added Kisere, “thanks to soft mammo pads and flexible compression paddles, most women report very minor discomfort.” Latin American women The Susan G. Komen Foundation lists breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer death among Latino women. Although Latino women show a lower incident ratio than white women, Latinas tend to be diagnosed with later-stage breast cancers, making treatment less effective. “Latino women come to see me when they are pregnant,” said gynecologist Juliana Di Giosia, whose practice is in Boise, “but once they pass childbearing age, there is a noticeable lack of health maintenance visits.” Following are some cultural and socioeconomic factors that may influence Latino women living in the U.S.: •Generally, the poor have little medical care in their own countries, where the ratio of doctors to patients is very low. In the U.S., Latinas tend to continue their practice of seeing a pharmacist, an herbalist or a faith healer in lieu of a doctor. •Many Latinas lack health insurance or are under-insured, so they consider checkups a luxury item. •Illegal immigrants are reluctant to use medical services for fear of deportation. •For working Latinas who are paid by the hour, taking time off from work is not an option. •Latinas don’t know how the American system works, so they feel intimidated by it. •Language barriers are a big impediment. Non-English speakers most likely will not get preventive care, especially if they don’t understand why they need it. In 2010, Carrie Kingsley, an advanced nurse practitioner working in the Seattle area, conducted a comprehensive study on the factors affecting cancer screening in the Latino population. She found that many Latino women avoid seeing a doctor, are reluctant to have routine checkups, and consider mammograms unnecessary. According to Kingsley, fear plays a big role. In their countries, due to the lack of medical care, a cancer diagnosis is usually equivalent to a death sentence, a notion that is hard to eradicate. Adding to the stress, Latinas like to get advice from family or friends, who give them wrong or exaggerated information, thus fueling their fears. They are terrified of the financial burden associated with a long illness, and fear of being disfigured and no longer sexually attractive also carries weight. Lastly, Latino women, even when they are employed, are usually the caregivers, so the possibility that they would have to become dependent, delegate their role as

mothers and housewives, or become a burden to their families is not acceptable. Latinas are 20 percent more likely to die of breast cancer than non-Hispanic white women, even when diagnosed at a similar stage and age. Part of the reason, according to Kingsley’s findings, is that Latino women are less likely to get prompt follow-ups after an abnormal mammogram. Fear of radiation is another issue, but the radiation dose with a mammogram is actually very minimal. Many Latinas tend to consider medical workers as people of great authority and so they expect doctors to make decisions for them. Also, they don’t ask for explanations, request information for alternative treatments or get second opinions, which might be interpreted as questioning the doctor’s judgment. However, when a decision is left up to them, Latinas delay and then tend to do nothing.

Monthly self-exams Women should begin monthly breast self-examination by age 20 and a clinical breast examination should be done at least every three years from age 20 to age 40. “Self-examinations are recommended,” said Kisere, “except for patients who have very lumpy, cystic breast tissue, or elderly patients who have limited feeling in their hands. In this case, the annual mammogram and clinical breast exam they receive is sufficient. Things to report to your doctor would be a non-painful, non-moveable lump, a thick red rash around the nipple area, or a spontaneous discharge.” Encouraging news According to the American Cancer Society, death rates from breast cancer have been declining since 1989. These decreases are believed to be the result of good screening, increased awareness, and improved treatment. Undeniably, chances of surviving cancer are much better when the illness is found early. Financial help is available For those on a low income, there is help. “We have grants available for women who do not have insurance. It is based on the poverty level, and is really quite generous ” said Kisere. “A single woman who makes approximately $21,000 a year or less would qualify. Although it is based on the total income for the household, a vast majority of women could qualify, and the mammogram is covered 100 percent. Also, follow-up visits are covered if necessary. Ladies can sign up for a grant at the time the mammogram is done.” For uninsured women in the Boise/Sun Valley area who are ineligible for financial aid, the typical cost of a screening bilateral mammogram, including the radiologist reading fee, ranges from $340 to $418. If it seems expensive, keep in mind that it is only once a year.

The Learning Garden School

BY FRAN JEWELL

he journey to The Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers was long and grueling but, the puppies were so well behaved in the car! When we pulled in at 10 at night, I was so grateful Kalidor had the temperament to just settle in, eat his late dinner, then hop in his crate in this wildly new motel environment and just go to sleep. Wow! Our week with Michael Ellis unfolded with every day bringing new experiences with all sorts of new people with all levels of experiences with dogs. Every puppy got a chance multiple times to work with their owner as well as with Michael. Michael’s engagement with each puppy encouraged both the owner/trainers to experience a high level of success in every aspect of the training. What was incredibly interesting to me was that Kalidor was so excited to see all the new people and visit, that many times it was quite a struggle to keep his attention on the exercise. Sound familiar?! When he first walked into the training room and spied all the people there, his first instinct was to go visit. I would have thought he was a Labrador! While he was the only dog in the room when it was his turn to work, he was more motivated by interaction with people than by food. My job was to increase his focus on me by finding what his personal motivation was. How was I going to get him to focus

on me, his handler, instead of meeting all the people? The other participants were instructed ahead of time to ignore any puppy that visited so there was no positive reinforcement for not engaging with the handler. What I found for Kalidor is that movement is critical to him. As a herding breed (yes, German shepherds are herding dogs) movement is what incites his interest the most. So, while he likes food, and people, movement is more important to him. When I can incorporate movement into my training, Kalidor will leave other things that interest him to focus on me. I also increased his food motivation and interest in me by feeding him his breakfast during training instead of in his bowl before training. I combined both movement and food as his reward for accomplishing the exercises. What was fun for me were the comments people made during breaks. They could

seek me out and tell me how adorable he was when he would run up to them when he was supposed to be working on the exercises. It took them great self-control not to return the adoration! The take-home point to this particular article is that finding what motivates your dog is of critical importance so that you can make yourself more interesting than all those other things out there in the environment. Teaching a puppy to engage with you through motivation should be a primary focus for you and your puppy. What that motivation is can be really different for each puppy!

‘American Sniper’ The Hard Road Home

BY JONATHAN KANE

lint Eastwood’s new movie, “American Sniper,” has become a lightning rod for the Internet and evening news shows. The film is the story of U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle who became known as “The Legend” during his four tours of duty in Iraq as a sniper. That amounted to more than 1,000 days during the period covering 2003-2009 and gave him the most number of confirmed kills by a Navy sniper—160—in U.S. history. For Eastwood, the film is an unqualified triumph. This is his 34th film in 44 years and follows on the heels of the completely atrocious Jersey Boys that he served up last year and that, thankfully, didn’t become his swan song. It has also busted all box office re-

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

cords for a January release. Hollywood, famously liberal, has not lavished praise on the movie; middle America, however, has embraced it wholeheartedly. Why the disconnect? The story itself, based on Kyle’s autobiography and adapted to the screen by Jason Hall, is split between the war tours, where Kyle finds fulfillment protecting his brothers, and his time at home, which is greatly more unsettled. The tone is set early in the film when his father tells the young Kyle that there are sheep, wolves and sheepdogs, and that he must become the latter and tend and protect the flock. Key to the movie is the incredible performance by Bradley Cooper, who also produced and put on 40 pounds to make the portrayal real. Stoically silent, Cooper portrays the Texas native beautifully, especial-

ly during his difficult first kill—that of a young child endangering an American convoy. There is also the restless soul of the man back stateside dealing with his hero reputation and the signs of post-traumatic stress disorder. It’s a complex portrayal and one of the best war films of recent memory.

A Unique Way To Tail-Gate 29th annual Paw ‘N Pole

BY MARIA PREKEGES

The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley’s 29th annual “Paw ‘N Pole” event was a whimsical Super Bowl pre-game event, held this past Sunday, Feb. 1 at the Sun Valley Gun Club. Over 64 teams of people and their pooches participated in the Super Bowl-themed fun. Owners and their canines donned all sorts of costumes and showed their spirit as well as their choice of Super Bowl victor. Jim Santa and his dog Milo were in full Green Bay Packers attire. When asked why not one of the actual teams playing, Santa replied with a smile, “We’re in denial.” The day started out with the 3-kilometer BowWow Boulder race. “The BowWow Boulder was new this year and people really enjoyed it,” stated Marcia Dibbs, Animal Shelter event coordinator. “We had 11 people participate in that race and it’s an area that we’d like to grow in the future.” The event continued with a variety of races and activities, including snowshoe racing, silly pet tricks, a costume contest and the Pup’s Pick, where hotdogs were placed on opposing

goal posts and the dogs picked a side to snack from. The outcome was different than the actual Super Bowl, with the Seahawks winning the Pup’s Pick, perhaps because the running game was prevalent with the dogs. While the Paw ‘N Pole is a fundraiser for the Animal Shelter, Dibbs also called it a “friend-raiser.” “We raise some money, but the goal is to get people out with their animals,” she said. “Our mission statement is connecting people with animals… getting people out to appreciate and love their animals and have a good time.” Attendees did have a fantastic time. “It was fabulous, people had a great time, and our attendance was up significantly from the last couple of years,” Dibbs noted. “I think having it at Sun Valley… it was a great venue… and adding the new activities put a little extra life back into it. Any person can participate. We have activities for old dogs and young dogs and people of all ages. Any dog and any human can participate in the fun.” For more information about the event, visit animalshelterwrv.org/activity/ paw-n-pole. tws
