Outreach from Sawtooth Botanical Garden BY P.M. FADDEN
T
he Sawtooth Botanical Garden (SBG) is engaged in “Growing Great Minds” (GGM), an outreach program designed to deliver environmental education to Blaine County children. “GGM personnel are committed to providing courses direct to the students,” said Dan Schaaf, Sawtooth Botanical Garden education director. “Our programs can be classroom visits or hosted at alternative
locations. We want to offer flexibility to students and teachers.” GGM is currently completing a four-session course at Alturas Elementary in Woodside. There, Schaaf meets with third-grade students from four classrooms to discuss the fundamental aspects of plant life and how those facts affect the environment. Each session is comprised of two 45-minute workshops with two separate student groups. “This outreach program is a collaboration between the Environmental Resource Center (ERC), Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA), Blaine County 4-H and the SBG,” Schaaf said. “Each group continued on page 10

The 100/10 Goal of SVED
Economic sustainability in Blaine County BY DICK DORWORTH
T
he current goal of Sun Valley Economic Development (SVED) is to add at least $100 million to the current $1 billion Blaine County economy over the next 10 years. This goal is likely to be replaced by “a more analytical framework,” according to Harry Griffith, SVED executive director. SVED evolved from SustainBlaine, a not-for-profit public-private partnership 501(c)6 formed to strengthen and diversify Blaine County’s economy while reflecting and supporting the traditional values and culture of its citizens. The name changed, according to Griffith, because at gatherings of national business interests ~ Snow Industries of America (SIA) Snow Show, for example ~ Sustain Blaine did not resonate nearly as clearly or strongly as Sun Valley Economic Development.
“Our mission is to create a thriving, diversified year-round economy for the Sun Valley Region.” SVED “The Sun Valley name saves a lot of time and explanation when talking to business leaders about starting or moving a business to the area,” said Griffith. SVED’s mission statement reads: “Our mission is to create a thriving, diversified year-round economy for the Sun Valley Region.” According to Griffith, this region includes all of Blaine County. A mixture of public and private money, primarily a multi-year, renewable Idaho Department of Commerce Grant, funds SVED annually. Additional funds are provided by Blaine County and its municipalities of Sun Valley, Ketchum, Hailey, Bellevue and Carey, and from more than 30 of the leading private-sector businesses. Griffith and assistant director Doug Brown are the only two paid staff members. The board of directors consists of 13 private-sector members and six public-sector members. The public-sec-
tor members are ex-officio nonvoting members of the board. Teams of unpaid volunteers help out when necessary. “Our focus over the past several years has been to: (1) understand and benchmark the drivers of our regional economy; (2) identify, analyze and advocate critical business and policy matters; and (3) explore and advance collaborative and innovative projects,” stated the partnership’s website. “In March 2014, SustainBlaine changed its identity to Sun Valley Economic Development and, in addition to the above three strategic priorities, is now expanding to take on more traditional economic development activities such as business attraction, expansion and retention.” Among SVED’s accomplishments are providing critical analysis to expand air service from Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco and Denver and helping to gain certification of the region as a U.S. Olympic and Paralympic training site. Additionally, the hosting of the Annual Economic Summit, producing comprehensive annual economic profiles for each municipality and the county to highlight critical economic trends, and the creation of a Business Mentors and Advisors Program to assist local entrepreneurs, established businesses and potential relocations. Recently, Griffith assisted in the application of a Tax Reimbursement Incentive (TRI) through the Idaho Department of Commerce that helped the Aspen Skiing Co. to close on the purchase of the Bald Mountain Lodge property on Main Street in Ketchum. “Aspen Skiing Co. plans to replicate its Limelight Hotel property in Aspen on the site with more than 100 hotel rooms…Last fall, SVED presented an economic impact analysis that the hotel project would add an average of $7 million per year to our local economy,” stated the SVED website. tws

T
he Wood River Valley’s only community radio station, KDPI 89.3 FM, is approaching its twoyear anniversary. April 17, 2013, marked KDPI’s first broadcast, though the drop-in station had been in planning for over five years. The drop-in station provides more than 25 locally programmed shows with a myriad of topics covered each week, most with a community angle. “Community radio is the voice of the community,” said program director Dana DuGan. “It’s where we can hear about and talk about the news, influences, and issues affecting our community on a daily basis.” KDPI’s volunteer DJs are all local and, according to DuGan, more people are coming to the table ~ both as hosts and as guests. Anchor talk shows on the station include Ellie Newman’s “It’s Relationship,” Norm Leopold’s legal show “Case in Point,” Julie Johnson and Dr. Jody Stanislaw’s “Our Health Culture” and Cyndi Dufur’s “Talk of the Town.” “These are really topical important shows,” DuGan said. “Musically, we are invested in some great music shows and none are more important than others. It’s hard to say what’s more
popular; we like them all, and each has its own fans.” Community tie-ins for KDPI, either through programming and/or promotion, include The Community Library, Community School, Environmental Resource Center, The Spot, Mountain Rides and others. “We started with the mission that we would have kids involved in schools,” DuGan said. “School-wise, we’ve had shows done under the ‘Students in the Studio’ name with The Sage School, Wood River High School and Community School students. We’ve welcomed kids from Hemingway and the Big Wood School to the studio.” To participate at the station or have a show, contact DuGan. She’ll ask a few questions, such as the applicant’s taste in music, passions and experience. “It’s a matter of training,” said DuGan. “There’s a ‘Boot Camp Workbook.’ I go over it with them and tell them to read it carefully. When they’re ready, there’s an exam in the back. I go through it with them and if they seem to get it, I certify them through the FCC.” In the meantime, applicants sit in on other shows at the station and learn to use the station’s soundboard and equipment. DuGan and founder Mike Scullion will sit in on the applicant’s first
few shows, but if all goes well, then they’ll be on their own. The future for KDPI is bright and exciting. An antenna will be placed atop Bald Mountain by this summer, expanding the station’s coverage to a range comparable to KSKI 94.5 FM. There are plans to purchase a remote system that will allow KDPI to broadcast from different locations and events. A website overhaul is also in the future. New shows are being welcomed, such as a radio play collaboration with The Spot, and DuGan hopes for even more ideas from the community. Vital to KDPI’s success and ability to have a noncommercial station are donations through their 501(c) (3) status and local funding. “We owe a lot to our supporters, family and friends,” DuGan said. “The YMCA worked with Mike Scullion initially to get us into the nonprofit status. We are now, and have been for over a year, our own 501(c)(3) entity…We invite all our DJs, sponsors and supporters to come join us on Friday, April 17 for a party to celebrate our second year.” For more information about KDPI, donating, volunteering or collaborating, visit kdpifm.org or call 208-928-6205.
2015 Bob Gillen Award
The North American Snowsports Journalists Association honored four distinguished ski industry veterans including local Jack Sibbach with its annual awards Feb. 7-11 at the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac, Quebec City. Sibbach, marketing and public relations director at Sun Valley Resort, Idaho, received the 2015 Bob Gillen Award. “I’m very honored and quite humbled to receive this year’s award,” Sibbach said. “My name is on the award but it’s not just my award. It’s the all people that work for me on a day-to-day basis, the Sun Valley staff and it’s the great people of this community of Sun Valley.” 6

S
ilver Creek Writers’ Residency is growing Wood River roots. Program activity begins in March. The Silver Creek literary effort is nonprofit and tax-exempt. It offers aspiring writers an opportunity at community support as well as a developmental platform for their written word. “We can do more to bring something to the world by assisting a new generation of writers with a toehold for their creations,” said Bill Fowler, program executive director and lover of the written word. “Let’s find authors not yet spoken for.” Resident accommodation takes the form of host homes and rental properties. A “writer’s studio,” located in downtown Ketchum, is also available for hire at a weekly rate. “The vision is that, initially, the residency will take place over summer months with a long-term goal of expansion into year-round activity,” explained Fowler. “Yet, Silver Creek will actually get started March 4 with a ‘microresidency’ by screenwriter Cody Gittings.” That microresidency purposely coincides with the upcoming Sun Valley Film Festival. A multi-tiered application process will select attendees for later residencies. Two appointments will come via a national website ~ one appointment from a university-based writing program and another resulting from program press exposure. Silver Creek organizers are committed to hosting at least one Idaho writer during any given residency period. Working stays will have a duration average of 30 days and are open to a range of topics. “It is our goal to think about literature and storytelling in broad terms,” said Fowler. “Our approach is to be open to all participants or styles and absolutely nondiscriminating. We are intrigued by the possibilities of shared methodology in such areas as graphic novels, children’s literature or interactive media. Really, we’re interested in all genres.” Silver Creek’s model is to bring writers into a working relationship with their nonprofit program, in turn generating a greater awareness within the surrounding community for the creative potential of the area as well as for the talents of the writers themselves. Future program events will include lectures, workshops, craft conferences and discourses all centered on the art of writing. One upcoming autumnal residency will feature culinary literature during the time of Harvest Fest. “There is a kindred spirit for craft here,” said Fowler in relation to the community. Future plans for Silver Creek include incorporation of additional area business and residents in patronage of the program with an overall goal of diversifying visitorship to the Valley. “The three main challenges a residency faces are the organization of hosts, the acquisition of personnel and the formation of patron partnerships with sponsors,” said Fowler. “Silver Creek works to address these points and, in so doing, grow the residency as well as the creative potential of our area.” The long-term residency goal is creation of a juried “New Voices of the American West” prize that recognizes literary accomplishment. “World-class talent already comes to the Valley,” said Fowler. “We’ve got the foundation. Let’s now grow a community of writers.” For more information, email silvercreekwr@gmail.com or visit scwr.format.com. tws

T
he monthly Business After Hours, or BAHs, as the locals of the Wood River Valley like to call them, are still going strong after many years. Both Ketchum and Hailey host events each month; it’s a chance for businesses old and new to showcase themselves by hosting the BAHs and an opportunity for local individuals to network with each other, say hello and see what’s happening locally in a relaxed environment. The next Ketchum Business After Hours will take place tonight, Wednesday, Feb. 25 at the Knob Hill Inn in Ketchum from 5-6 p.m. The Ketchum BAH usually sees 50-150 attendees from Ketchum, Sun Valley, and Hailey. Everyone is invited to attend, refreshments are served and there are speaker presentations throughout the event. “Having a few brief, punchy, and pithy speakers talk at the event gives people good takeaways and leaves plenty of time for socializing and business networking before and after the event,” said Gary Hoffman, the self-proclaimed unofficial organizer of the Ketchum BAHs. “ The BAHs serve a worthwhile business purpose.” The agenda for the Ketchum BAH will be business, sharing knowledge and networking together.

responsive. “This area is an ideal setting for these courses,” Schaaf said. “We live in a beautiful and biologically diverse region, which is perfect for teaching the next generation about the importance of responsible stewardship over the land.” Making GGM available as a free resource to schools encourages student-and-teacher interaction with their environments as well as increases overall exposure to other eco-conscious initiatives taking place. “An overlaying goal of GGM is to foster care for the land for our future” Schaaf explained. “This year is the big push.” Through continued active engagement of students, teachers and parents, GGM strives to grow as a program and, in turn, expand awareness for not only environmental issues but also coinciding
regional initiatives. GGM accomplishes this by sharing information directly to the students. “There is a potential for big growth,” Schaaf said, referring not only to GGM but environmental awareness as a whole. “We want to continue the growth of GGM with future sessions that address an expanded range of topics. GGM offers nonplant courses that include animal adaptations, geology [and] ecosystem studies, to name only a few. In the future, we want to create workshops to also discuss and educate on irrigation and watershed issues. For more information on the “Growing Great Minds” outreach program, visit growinggreatminds. com or phone Dan Schaaf at the SGB at 208-7269358. “This Valley is an incredible resource for us,” Schaaf concluded. “Let’s learn from it.” tws

Demonstrations of various plants, alongside their various fruit and vegetable products, involved student volunteers and active participation from the whole classroom. Students were encouraged to offer input on plant anatomy, energy production and byproducts. Grapefruit, carrots, celery and avocado were available for study. Potted bell pepper, tomato and salad plants were displayed, discussed and diagrammed by the students. The result was workshops in which students were energetically engaged in what they were being taught. Classroom participation was eager and

T
he Blaine County Relay For Life kicked off its 20th year in the Wood River Valley with a celebration last Wednesday, Feb. 18 at the Muleshoe Tavern in Hailey. This year’s Relay will take place on Friday, June 19 at the Wood River High School track from 7 p.m. through 7 a.m. on Saturday. “Cancer doesn’t sleep, so neither do we,” said Janie Varin, event chairperson for the Blaine County Relay For Life. “So for one night, we walk. The goal is to have someone from a team walking all night long. You take turns walking so that we are filling the track to give hope to those who are fighting their battle.” This year’s Relay theme is: Relay For Life, a Red Carpet Experience. Participants are encouraged to dress up like their favorite movie star. Additionally, there will be many activities and themed laps throughout the evening
that coincide with celebrities and movies. Directly before the event starts, there is a dinner and ceremony for cancer survivors to come to and celebrate with other survivors. There will also be very special heartfelt laps that honor these survivors as well as laps to remember loved ones lost to cancer. Funds raised from the Relay go directly to the American Cancer Society, and last year $1,500,000 went to research in Idaho. Money raised also goes to other local Idaho programs such as the Hope Lodge that helps cancer patients and their families with lodging during cancer therapies. There is also a program in our Valley called “Look good, feel better” that helps people feel better and be more confident with themselves and their recovery through makeovers and helping with items such as wigs, makeup, prosthetics and more. “Everyone and anyone is invited to participate,” Varin said. “We’ve all been affected by cancer, wheth-
er it’s family members, friends, or even animals. We’ve all seen it and had it in our life and will continue to. The mission of Relay is to raise money for research and for helping cancer patients and their families through their struggles.” Team ambassador Michele Johnson loves the Relay. “I’ve met great people,” Johnson said. “There are so many opportunities in Relay for people to come and help and share their time and their interest and their stories. And it’s just fun, quite honestly.” Fourteen teams and nearly 175 people participated in the 2014 Blaine County Relay For Life. This year, there are already 16 teams signed up.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR FEB. 25TH FROM PICABO ANGLER
W
ednesday is the last day at Picabo Angler for Nick Anderson. He is off to the wilds of Minnesota to spend time pursuing pike, muskie, walleye, bass and other fish common to the “Land of 10,000 Lakes.” Anyone who has stopped by Picabo Angler in the past year or two and has met Nick will understand how much we will miss him. His infectious smile and incredible knowledge base of all things fly fishing are one of a kind. We’d like to thank Nick for helping us grow. It is not easy being the fly shop outside of town, but thanks to Nick we’ve been able to grow as a business here on Silver Creek and bring outfitting back to a grassroots level where it truly belongs. Nick’s last act here in the shop was helping us expand Picabo Angler, giving it a sharp new look and a lot more square footage, so we may continue to bring you the best products and flies for Silver Creek as well as the outlying rivers and streams. Good luck, Nick! You will be missed on the banks of the Creek! We’re down to the last few days of fishing on Silver Creek for the season. The Creek closes at the end of the month and reopens the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Streamers and some very nice Midge activity are the name of the game if you fish the Creek. We got to the South Fork of the Boise this week and found the fishing somewhat slow, although we did find some Blue-Winged Olive activity that had a few fish up. Beyond that, the occasional brute was caught with Streamers and Zebra Nymphs. The Big Wood is open through March, and the Big Lost remains open all year now, and with recent weather conditions, the hatches should be great on both rivers. March is right around the corner and it is no secret anymore that this is the month with the highest catch rates on almost all of our area rivers. Pre-spawn activity, coupled with milder weather, means great hatches and fish ready to let their guard down and eat with abandon in an attempt to pack on the calories before the spawn. Anglers looking to fish stillwater are getting an early jump on the season as the ice is off many of the reservoirs and quickly coming off the few that still have some. It should be a very interesting spring around here, as February felt like March already happened. Plan on some incredible fishing over the next month! Happy fishing, everyone!

Béchamel Sauce
Beginnings And Endings
BY MARIAH PODERICK
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter Kosher salt 3 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour Milk mixture Pinch grated nutmeg 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Gruyere
Milk Mixture 2 cups whole milk 1 ¼ slice of red or yellow onion 1 bay leaf 1 palmful of peppercorns

Béchamel sauce can be used in a multitude of dishes, including pasta, lasagna, & sandwiches. You could even pour it on your shoe and eat that! Happy cooking!

Preparation
Add the milk, onion, bay leaf & peppercorns to a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to simmer; turn heat off; cover and steep for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, strain, cover & set aside. In another saucepan add butter and flour and cook until the ingredients resemble wet sand, about 3-4 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk mixture until incorporated. Add the nutmeg and season with salt, to taste. Slowly bring the milk/flour mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom. Once the sauce has come to a boil and has thickened, remove it from the heat. Enjoy right away or refrigerate ~ covered ~ until ready to use. To transform your Béchamel into Mornay sauce (mac ‘n’ cheese), stir in cheese of your choice while the sauce is hot ~ taste & adjust seasoning, if needed.

elcome to “Campfire ****,” The Weekly Sun’s new editorial voice. Our Associate Editor Yanna Lantz will pick up “The Bright Side” editorials, starting next week ~ so fear not optimists. And, for those who enjoy paying attention to the weather, I’ll be writing “Camp.” Depending on what the weather looks like out there, I’ll change the name through the seasons, cycling through “sun”, “rain,” etc., etc., and ~ of course ~ “snow!” This is a bilingual poem I wrote in high school that I thought might make for a good launchpad for this new voice of The Sun. I scribbled it down for my junior year Spanish class in January, 2003.
La Historia
Por Brennan Rego Nos ahogamos cada día debajo del mar profundo de la disonancia anciana del mundo. ¿Y por qué? cuando ya sabemos que la armonía humana es nada menos, nada más, que la paz. Nos perdemos cada día en la sombra de esta pesadilla. Nos matamos; nos morimos con valor. Y así a nuestros hijos les decimos que la muerte vale más que el amor.

History
By Brennan Rego We drown ourselves every day under the deep ocean of the world’s aged dissonance. And why? when we already know that human harmony is nothing less, nothing more, than peace. We lose ourselves daily in the shadow of this nightmare. We kill; we die with courage And in so doing we tell our children that death is worth more than love. “Campfire Hail” is The Weekly Sun’s editorial voice by Editor Brennan Rego.

oday I am celebrating my granddaughter Goldie’s third birthday on Chestnut Street in San Francisco where we will shop together for a dress or accessories suited to her princess image. I am lucky to be able to do this; as she grows older, we will be able to start our splurge with real tea at a fashionable hotel. For now, the thought of ice cream and a chance to pick out EXACTLY what she likes is sufficient. Her older brother, Artie, craves anything to do with cars, police, firemen and the Coast Guard. Last night we “raced” Secret Service cars against police vehicles, but, interrupted by dinner, we never knew who won. I tell him bedtime stories about Obama’s “rescue” in Hawaii or other venues by squadrons of brave military men. I describe these two children because neither has been force-fed traditional concepts of masculine or feminine play, but both seem naturally attracted to the stereotypical pastimes of girls or boys. The other night, as we were driving, my wee angel in a flashy pink cape requested a “girlie song,” and when we heard Adele, she was thrilled. I once dreamt of being the blue fairy, escaping with sheer wings from imagined disasters. I don’t know where this comes from, but am fascinated by the tradition. Unfortunately, while I thrill at the presence of my grandchildren, I hear sad news of the passing of so many admired friends and figures. Today I read an op-ed piece for The New York Times by Oliver Sachs, a favorite writer, who related news about his terminal cancer and knowledge that he had little time left. I will miss his ability to explain complex medical issues with such clarity. And, in spite of her fascination with pretty gossamer outfits and
february 25, 2015
pretend castles, I would hope that someday my bright girl would aspire to succeed in ways not conceived by most of my generation of women, perhaps even emulating Oliver Sachs. While looking at infinite possibilities for my grandchildren, I read Sachs’ thoughts on accepting his 81-year life span. He says, “I feel intensely alive, and I want and hope in the time that remains to deepen my friendships, to say farewell to those I love, to write more, to travel if I have the strength, to achieve new levels of understanding and insight. This will involve audacity, clarity and plain speaking; trying to straighten my accounts with the world. But there will be time, too, for some fun (and even some silliness, as well). “There is no time for anything inessential. I must focus on myself, my work and my friends. I shall no longer look at...news...every night...or pay attention to politics or arguments about global warming. This is not indifference but detachment. I still care deeply about the Middle East, about global warming, about growing inequality...no longer my business; they belong to the future... I feel the future is in good hands.” I hope in the hands of my Artie and Goldie. tws

The Blurred Lines of Teen Dating

M
any teenagers find it hard to believe that teen dating violence occurs in our community. Many teenagers also find it hard to believe that unhealthy relationships exist. As a teenager myself, I can understand why teens refuse to recognize the facts: we are young, maybe dating for the first time, maybe in love for the first time and we want everything to be perfect. Another likely scenario is this simple and ugly truth: teenagers do not understand what a healthy relationship looks like. Many people immediately jump to the conclusion that dating abuse is straightforward physical abuse: hitting, slapping, etc. However, while physical violence is an extremely pressing issue that everyone needs to be aware of, I can confidently say that the majority of teen relationships suffer from mental and verbal abuse; lack of respect, lack of support, peer pressure, manipulation, unfaithfulness, insecurities, lies and general name-calling. Numerous times I have witnessed first-hand and second-hand accounts of these unhealthy interactions. I urge all teens in relationships to notice the warning signs. First of all, ask yourself this question: Am I happy with my boy-
friend or girlfriend? If the answer is a hesitant yes or a flat-out no, clearly something needs to change. Secondly, consider the following questions: Does my boyfriend or girlfriend support all of the decisions that I make? Has he or she ever pressured me into something I did not necessarily want to do? Do I feel safe, comfortable and respected when I am around him or her? These are important observations that everyone should make. Many relationships are imperfect and can be worked on. In my opinion, communication is one of the most important traits to have in a relationship. Without it, one would not be able to address the concerns that he or she might have with their partner. However, if the mental or verbal abuse continues to make you upset, consider the fact that the relationship might be destructive. What is the point of being in a relationship if you are not happy? This article was written by WRHS senior Avery Closser, a member of the ETC (Every Teen has a Choice) teen interns for The Advocates, a Hailey-based nonprofit whose mission is to teach people of all ages how to build healthy relationships.

Local Food For Thought Sourcing Our Seeds
BY BELLE STARR & BILL MCDORMAN
O
ne of the best things about winter is opening up a new seed catalog and pouring over the array of beautiful offerings and photos. Many of us put organic on the top of our list of important considerations when purchasing seeds. But how many of us think about where those seeds are being grown and how they get to the seed companies? Seeds often come from thousands of miles away sometimes from overseas, produced by large agrichemical corporations like Seminis and Bejo. Many of our old-time favorite seed companies source from other places as they try to keep up with the demand for organic seed. Thinking in terms of “seed-sheds” should be as much of a priority as foodsheds. Sourcing our seeds locally has great benefit, and the importance of growing local seeds cannot be overemphasized. Farmers are beginning to recognize the value of producing their own seed as they take the best of the current season’s harvest into next year’s crop production. Seed libraries are a rising trend nationwide and are now several hundred strong. Often seed libraries are being housed within public libraries. (The case with the Wood River Seed Library housed in the Hailey Library – contact John@ rockymountainseeds.org for more info.) This is an inspiring movement– locally adapted seeds, collectively cultivated and freely exchanged. The Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance (RMSA) is proud to be part of this flowering movement. The full article, “Sourcing Our Seeds,” originally appeared in the 2015 Education Issue of Colorado Gardener.

he image of the sun is intimately associated with Sun Valley. We see it everywhere. It appears in the seal for the city of Sun Valley and on the cover of this weekly publication. It is also used as a logo, with or without the words Sun Valley, by the Sun Valley Company. Although it is obvious why, I was curious to find out who first came up with the idea of using a sun associated with Sun Valley and who designed it. According to Shannon Besoyan, archivist for the Sun Valley Lodge, the logo for the Sun Valley Resort has evolved since 1936. “Today, the logo is comprised of a custom font first stylized by graphic artist Steve Winegar in the early ’70s for then owner, Bill Janss. He worked for the resort-owned Sun Valley Magazine, drew the original letters and then, in later years, created a shadow line around them which has now been removed.” In reference to the sun image, Ms. Besoyan had no information but said the first publicist Steve Hannagan “probably had his hand in it.” As Hannagan had successfully helped develop Florida’s Miami Beach in the mid-1920s, he was hired to promote the new resort in Idaho. He named it “Sun Valley” because, during his visit, even though it snowed at night, every day was sunny. But where did the image come from? Our ancestors have long considered the sun as the center of humankind’s existence. It is a symbol of optimism, creativity and success, and depictions of its image go back to ancient times. Historically, ancient Greece, pagan Babylon and pagan Rome considered the sun an important deity. In the Americas, the sun was of great importance to all pre-Columbian cultures, including Native American Indian tribes who still honor it at the summer solstice. The Vergina Sun
Th e W e e k l y S u n •
The Vergina Sun, a possible precursor of the Sun Valley sun, was popular in ancient Greek art. As early as the sixth century B.C. and up until the second century B.C., the symbol was shown in artistic representations. Ancient Greek soldiers were depicted bearing sun symbols on their shields and the image often appeared on Macedonian and other Hellenistic coins and shields.
The rays of the sun signified the cardinal directions, North, South, East and West, and, in time, from four points it evolved in increments of four, into eight, 12, 16, and so on. The number 16 could be a reference to the 16 prophets or books of The Old Testament.

the Sun Valley sun, was the official solar god of the Roman Empire and a patron of soldiers. In 321 B.C., Emperor Constantine decreed dies Solis (Sun Day) as the Roman day of rest, transferring the Sabbath to Sunday. The Catholic Church adapted many pagan sunburst images and the sun’s popularity continued throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, later appearing in symbols of Freemasonry. The Sun in Splendor - Sun of May The Sun in Splendor, a design found in heraldic shields, was used as a badge by Edward II of England, and later by Edward IV. In 2013, Pope Francis included two suns in his new coat of arms: the Jesuit emblem, based on the Sun of Splendor and an eight-pointed star symbolic of the Virgin Mary. Two countries in South America, Argentina and Uruguay, adopted a version of the Sun in Splendor and renamed it Sun of May (Sol de Mayo), in reference to a conflict which took place in May of 1810, marking the beginning of independence for countries that comprised the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, then under Spanish rule. The closest resemblance to the Sun Valley logo is the sun in the Uruguayan national flag. Both contain 16 rays, with alternating straight and flaming rays, representing light and heat, respectively. The similarities continue, with the central disk depicting a human face. Although evidence points to the Sun of Splendor (Sun of May) and its earlier version, the Vergina Sun, as the basis for the Sun Valley logo, unfortunately, this research has found no written evidence of who gets credit for first using the image. Unless more information surfaces, today we can only speculate. ~Ana Maria Cuneo Eagle Resident
