File photo

Fritz Haemmerle Native son, Hailey mayor BY DICK DORWORTH

Fritz Haemmerle was born in 1959 on the third floor of the north wing of the Sun Valley Lodge, eight rooms of which then served as the local hospital under the leadership of Dr. John Moritz. Haemmerle was among the last to be born in the Lodge before Moritz Community Hospital was opened in Sun Valley. Fritz’s father, Florian, was a German refugee and a fine skier who immigrated to America and caught the eye of Averell Harriman, who made him a part of the first Sun Valley Ski School. Florian was head of the first Sun Valley Alpine Ski School, which took clients into the backcountry to the Pioneer hut, among other tours. Fritz grew up in Ketchum, was in the fifth grade when Hemingway School opened, attended Wood River Junior High School and Wood River High School through the 10th grade and then finished high school at Wayland Academy in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. After graduation, he attended the University of Southern California for two years before returning to the mountains. Fritz went to Taos, N.M., and asked Taos Ski Valley owner Ernie Blake for a job teaching skiing. Blake, who was a German/ Swiss immigrant to America and one of its great ski pioneers, had honeymooned with his wife, Rhoda, in Sun Valley just before World War II. Blake replied, “If you are Florian Haemmerle’s son, you can have a job.” Fritz taught skiing in Taos for

briefs

two years before returning to Idaho and Boise State University, where he finished his undergraduate work in finance before completing law school at the University of Idaho in 1988. He was a serious and accomplished bicycle racer throughout his school years. He returned home to the Wood River Valley to practice law, serve as Blaine County prosecuting attorney and, in 2000, set up his own private law practice in partnership with his wife, Jennifer, who recently was named Blaine County Magistrate Court judge. And then Fritz ran for Hailey City Council “...because I got tired of being on the other side,” he said. And then, perhaps remembering that Florian had once said of him, “Ahhhh, that boy, he’ll be mayor some day,” ran for and won the office of Hailey mayor. “I’ve always been a political junkie and have followed politics since childhood,” Haemmerle said. “When I was 13 I had a broken leg and had to stay home and I spent hours each day watching the Watergate hearings. I’ve still got a recording of Nixon’s resignation speech. I’m sure the combination of Dad being a German immigrant and Mom being a Wisconsin aristocrat was an influence that covered a wide spectrum of what it is to be an American citizen, and that perspective has been a big motivation as a first generation American to serve the public. I make it a point to talk to government classes in the schools when I can, and I try to do my best.” tws

Slumber Party, The Stuff Of Dreams BY P.M. FADDEN

106 S Main St Hailey, ID 83333 (208) 578-2488

atasteofthaisunvalley.com

slumber party of epic proportions was enjoyed last weekend. Billed as a “park session with the pros,” this slumber party was, in fact, a weekend-long hangout and shred workshop. The workshop took place March 13–15 and was lead by professional female snowboarders from around the country and globe. Inspiration for the kid-friendly affair came from Bellevue’s own Kaitlyn Farrington, a local fan favorite who claimed gold in the women’s halfpipe at last year’s Winter Olympics in Socchi, Russia. Farrington partnered with ski industry landmark Sun Valley Resort in providing for the event’s venue. “Being able to gather snowboarders from the community together is great,” said Farrington. “And, I am really happy to bring some of my friends to my hometown and show them a good time.” Joining Farrington were friends Elena Hight, Maddy Schaffrick, Rebecca Torr, Stefi Luxton, Hannah Beaman and snowboarding legend Barrett (Christy) Cummins. Keeping the ladies company were 28 young riders, ages 18 and under, who showed up and threw down over a weekend of snow antics. “This is my first camp of this kind,” said Farrington. “It’s just about having fun in a relaxed setting.” The schedule of activities for Kaitlyn’s Slumber Party began Friday, when Farrington and company were warmly greeted by family, friends and eager fans on the patio at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. Sun Valley Co. unfurled the welcome flag with snacks and refreshments, including the always-tasty favorite s’mores roasted over an open fire in the fire pit. Saturday kept the party sliding with pipe and park sessions at Dollar Mountain. Photographers were on hand throughout the day for photo sessions and many an admirer was on-hand to enjoy the shred skills displayed. Participants were split into groups for ride sessions, with each group mentored by one of the pros on hand. Ride sessions moved with fluidity from pipe to park laps and back again with a lunch break at midday.

Writer Jessica Hagy creates her own “reimagining” of Sun Tzu’s ancient text, “The Art of War.” Hagy’s rendition is described as a “modern visual interpretation, which will appeal to anyone navigating conflict.” Today, skills useful in conflict navigation are commonly applied to the areas of business, politics, sports or event planning. Hagy’s “The Art of War Visualized” promises a “playbook” for success upon assorted modern “battlefields.” The India-inked representation of the original Chinese treatise went to press in February and will be available at, and presented in tandem with, the March 21–25 “Dent the Future” conference hosted by Sun Valley Co. Hagy’s work is also available for sale through Iconoclast Books, as well as online sources. “We’d asked during previous conferences for attendees to recommend books that might be pertinent to have at the conference itself,” said Jason Preston, spokesman for Dent. “I had had Sun Tzu’s instructional strategies have lead to modern inthe chance to meet with Jessica Hagy and that sights into business and personal challenges, exemplified in networking resulted in her presence at this year’s this Hagy illustration of “Risk vs. Reward” on page 183. conference.

ike many before him, after retirement Rick LeFaivre decided to move to Sun Valley with his wife, Terri. Although he enjoys his retired life, he knew there was something more for him in the Wood River Valley, something he could do to give back and make the area an even better place. By partnering with Jon Duval and the Ketchum Community Development Corporation, the Ketchum Innovation Center (KIC) ~ a community center for entrepreneurs ~ was formed in March of 2014. After the KIC was formed, LeFaivre wanted to pull together a mentoring group locally and make them available to people and businesses in the Valley. Just one month after the KIC was formed, the Sun Valley Band of Angels and Mentors, or BAM, as it’s called, was born. Simply stated, BAM matches seasoned mentors and advisors to entrepreneurs and businesses in the Sun Valley region to foster innovation and economic growth. All of this started when LeFaivre sat on a panel and presented his ideas in the fall of 2013 at the economic summit. Duval, who is executive director of the Ketchum Community Development Corporation and who now runs the Ketchum Innovation Center, was in the audience and liked what he heard. The two worked hard on the vision to create and sell a local incubator, and the Ketchum Innovation Center was created, with BAM created a month later. But it didn’t come without funding. The Ketchum Innovation Center is part of the Ketchum Community Development Corporation, which was made possible by funding through the City of Ketchum and their economic development efforts. BAM now has 41 mentors and

50 companies that they are helping. It’s a simple system; BAM matches mentors to businesses, depending on the business needs. “We are just trying to match up mentors and companies and the mentors span the spectrum, from technology people, some attorneys, PR people, marketing people and experienced entrepreneurs of one kind or another,” stated LeFaivre. “There’s a whole mix, and when a company joins, they get a list of mentors to look over and, depending on what their needs are, see if anyone looks like they can help.” The mentoring program is free of charge. “The mentoring program is not just for startups or companies who hold residence in the KIC. If you’re an existing company in town that could use some mentoring and support, please contact us,” said LeFaivre. And it’s not just for people that have an established company or a startup idea; individuals are also invited to contact BAM for mentorship. “I’m always happy, as are other mentors, to sit down and have a coffee to talk about ideas and thoughts that individuals might have,” LeFaivre said. “Anything from the early-stage entrepreneur just trying to think what he/she is doing, to existing companies that are trying to think about what’s next and how to grow, are welcome to the program.” As well as the BAM program, the KIC, along with Duval and LeFaivre, have also put together an Angel network of investors that already have been busy at work and have invested nearly $1 million to startups located in the Valley. For more on the mentoring program (BAM) as well as the Ketchum Innovation Center and the Angel network, go to their website http://www.ketchuminnovationcenter.com. tws

There was no breaking of plates or dancing on tables (that we know of ), but Sun Valley did see my Big Fat Greek SKI weekend as Greeks and non-Greeks alike gathered in Sun Valley this past weekend for fun, food and ski racing. The GRIN, or Greek Invitational as it’s called, is a ski race weekend that started over 40 years ago in Sun Valley by a few friends that had been gathering in the Valley since the mid-’50s to enjoy the great skiing and the parea. Parea in Greek is “a group of friends who regularly gather together to share their experiences about life, their philosophies, values and ideas,” according to Google. Simply put, it describes a group of friends that get together purely for the enjoyment of each other’s company. The months or years between

It’s All Greek To Me GRIN ski weekend returns

visits do not matter with this group of friends and it’s timeless when they see each other once again. This past weekend was the picture-perfect definition of parea. Besides all the stories told and shared, participants also enjoyed great food and activities, for when it comes to Greeks, there’s never a shortage of great cuisines and spirits. The weekend kicked off on Friday night where the GRIN met up at Grumpy’s. Saturday was the big race on Bald Mountain, followed by a fun ski day. Awards were handed out during a banquet at Whiskey Jacques’ on Saturday evening. Stories were shared and the GRIN weekend was another success. The founder of the GRIN race, the late John Tsalaky, was originally from Spokane, Wash. He loved to ski and fell in love with Sun Valley in the

mid-’50s. He loved the area and spent a lot of time with good friends from Washington and Oregon. He then decided to get as many people together as possible in Sun Valley, so the GRIN was born. Originally standing for Greek Invitational, the GRIN saw hundreds of people year after year gathering for a fun week of skiing topped off by a NASTAR race. After nearly a decade off, the Dudanakis family, along with a few locals, has revived the race weekend with help from the Seattle AHEA ~ American Hellenic Education and Progressive Association. Many of the participants for the GRIN weekend were from the Seattle area, with others coming from California and Michigan. A large contingency was also from the Wood River Valley and surrounding areas. Participants don’t have to be Greek because the GRIN

Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real BY YANNA LANTZ

Straight off their performance at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, sometimes referred to as POTR, are headed to Ketchum. There are two chances this weekend to catch the high-energy and visceral American rock n’ roll band. On Friday, March 20, Lukas Nelson & POTR will perform at River Run Lodge from 1–5:30 p.m. On Saturday, March 21, the band will take over Whiskey Jacques’ in Ketchum for a 21plus show. Doors open at 9 p.m. with a performance by Dedric Clark & The Social Animals. Lukas Nelson & POTR will take the stage at 10:30 p.m. Purchase tickets for this event for $15 in advance or $18 the day of show/ behind the bar. At age 26, Nelson is building his following by touring yearround and delivering rockin’ performances to fans across the country. According to a press release, Lukas Nelson & POTR have performed over 400 shows in the past three years alone and have played alongside the likes of Neil Young, John Fogerty, Bob Weir, B.B. King and Bob Dylan. The five-person band consists of Lukas Nelson shredding on lead vocals and lead guitar, Corey McCormick on bass and background vocals, Tato Melgar on bangin’ percussion, Anthony Logerfo hittin’ the drums and supporting with background vocals, and Micah Nelson on drums and “stage art.” Lukas Nelson & POTR have been rockin’ strong since their debut EP in 2010, “Brando’s Paradise,” which set them on a trajectory of nonstop touring and recording. In the last five years, the band has released six CDs, including 2010’s debut fulllength “Promise of the Real,” 2012’s “Wasted” and the live album entitled “Live Endings,” and a free collection of demos in 2013. The band has headlined

their own tours and performed at noteworthy events such as Farm Aid, Bridge School Benefit, SXSW, Lollapalooza, Stagecoach, Gathering of the Vibes Festival, Willie Nelson’s Country Throwdown Tour and Kid Rock’s Chillin’ the Most Cruise. PopMatters recently wrote, “There’s a general tendency to be somewhat skeptical of children of celebrities who choose to follow in their parents’ footsteps. But Nelson, son of country music legend Willie Nelson, is well on his way to carving out his own niche as one of the more gifted rock ‘n’ rollers of his generation.” In 2014, Nelson and the band scored their first film, “Satellite Beach.” The short, directed by brothers Luke Wilson and Andrew Wilson, won the coveted Bruce Corwin Award at the 29th Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival. At the Harvest the Hope concert, the band, along with Micah Nelson, was thrilled to perform five songs as the backup band for one of their musical heroes, Neil Young. Young told Rolling Stone magazine in January, “I’m working on another album now that I’m going to be doing with Willie Nelson’s sons.” Although Nelson now resides in California, his hometown of Austin, Texas, will always hold a special place in his heart. “Austin is a great city for wildlife,” said Nelson in an interview with Paste magazine. “There are some great trails and hikes nearby and most folks are friendly enough to show you around. I would encourage everyone to go experience some nature during the day and then experience the city and bands as the day gets later.” For more information about the band, check out www.PromiseOfTheReal.com, www.twitter. com/potr or www.youtube.com/ promiseofthereal. Whiskey Jacques’ is located at 251 N. Main St., Ketchum. For event information, call 208-726-5297. tws

Soul Meets Snow In Slalom Smash

BY P.M. FADDEN

Floral-print T-shirts, wigs, zinced noses, bandanas, a green-sequined string bikini ~ worn by an unshaven man ~ and, everywhere, people getting lei’d. This, ladies and gentlemen, is Hawaiian Nationals, so “take a chance and spread your stance” in the Wood River Valley. Hawaiian Nationals annually arrives at Bald Mountain courtesy of the Sun Valley Telemark Series (SV Tele). The dual-slalom telemark and snowboard event takes place March 22 at Lower Warm Springs.

Hawaiian Nationals, 2015

Aaron Boyer generously donated his time in creating recent years’ posters. To date, SV Tele is the “longest continually running telemark series in the nation,” according to current co-directors Brendan Coyle and Julian Tyo. SV Tele has achieved this distinction by placing emphasis on community, tradition and a dedication to “keeping the heel free.” The SV Tele mission states: “By upholding the tradition of telemark skiing in Idaho, we aim to enrich our local community through grassroots events and spread

“You can’t make a telemark turn on downhill gear ~ it makes what we do unique.”

Event registration is 8:30–10 a.m. in Warm Springs Lodge with racing starting at 10:30 a.m. Discounted lift tickets for race competitors are available and race entry is $20. Entry includes a spot in the 2:30 p.m. “Tele Parade” and a raffle ticket. This year’s raffle boasts a total prize value of $3,000. Telemark fun on Baldy dates back to the 1970s with events such as the “ThreePin Downhill” and “Pins of Fear.” SV Tele, a nonprofit organization founded in 1980, continues the freeheelin’ evolution of mountain spirit with their own unique flavor on those classic competitions of yore. The history present in these Hawaiian Nationals can be viewed through the archive of iconic posters that have announced the yearly slalom. Idaho artist

our unique sport to new audiences.” “It’s a labor of love,” said Tyo. “Former racers return with family in tow to keep the tele tradition alive.” Past Hawaiian Nationals events have seen top honors taken by visiting out-ofstate talent. SV Tele is a partner in what they hope is a healthy and widespread tradition. “We hope to pull in a wide range of competitors from all around the area,” Tyo said. “This helps us keep our numbers strong.” SV Tele speculates that when it comes to the mountain lifestyle, “they certainly have the most fun.” “It’s the third turn,” said Tyo of distinctive telemark turns. “You can’t make a telemark turn on downhill gear ~ it

makes what we do unique.” The addition of snowboarding to the SV Tele retinue was a natural progression. The snowboarding contingent is as tightknit a group as any on the mountain and SV Tele embraces that unity. It was only right that snowboarders take their place among the costume-clad and barley-popped celebration that is the Hawai-

ian Nationals. SV Tele heartily thanks their many sponsors and friends who have long supported the Telemark Series’ vision. “Come out and make some turns,” Tyo encouraged. “ We’re having fun out there and we invite anyone to join us.” tws

Wilderness First Responder, First-Aid Comes to Ketchum

BY P.M. FADDEN

ilderness First Responder and Wilderness First-Aid courses are open for enrollment. Courses are taught by the Wilderness Medicinal Institute (WMI) of the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) and are hosted by Idaho Rescue Training. Ketchum’s Paul Holle instructs. Holle is experienced in first responder, lifeguarding, CPR/AED and first-aid training. He has been a course instructor since 2011. Wilderness First Responder is the first course to commence and the longest in terms of calendar commitment, running April 23 to May 2. “We want our students to come away with how to systematically assess a patient, provide treatment and make educated and independent decisions in the backcountry,” said Holle. Curriculum spans 80 hours of course work, encompassing long-term patient care, wound management, straightening angulated fractures, reducing dislocations, litter packaging and administering medications. WMI Adult and Child CPR & Airway Management certification is included within First Responder. “All of this is done based on research and field studies, not simply what you may have heard once from a friend,” Holle said. “We hope they can make treatment decisions and make a decision about if the patient can stay in the backcountry or if they need to be evacuated and how.” First Responder is held at Ketchum’s River Run Lodge from April 23 until May 2 and has a total cost of $750, including a required deposit of $350. The May 16–17 Wilderness First-Aid is an affiliate of First Responder, hosted as well as taught by the same organizations. The course may be enrolled in separately or in tandem with First Responder. “We all love having access to the open and wild spaces around us, and it is very easy to put yourself in a situation

where outside help is not readily available,” Holle said. “The higher the level of training for all of us, the better off our community is.”

“The higher the level of training for all of us, the better off our community is.” ~ Paul Holle Instructor The two-day course is lecture infused with simulation. Scenarios and practice sessions will take place both indoors and out. Wet or cold condition outdoor gear is required for each student. Pack and boots are also required. Stage, or moulage, blood and makeup are used to

emphasize the reality of each situation. Comfortable shoes and a “camp chair” are recommended for indoor segments. First-Aid includes CPR/AED for adults and children and qualifies a student for National Registry Emergency Medical Technician testing ~ the front equivalent of a First Responder. Certification is valid for two years. First-Aid is held at the Atkinson Park Recreational Center, 900 3rd Ave., Ketchum, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and carries a flat fee of $200, no deposit required. As both an instructor and outdoor enthusiast, Holle would like to see as many future courses as possible. “As a community that places value on wild and open spaces and outdoor recreation, it is important that we follow those values with not only protecting them, but learning to care for each other,” he said. “When the community is trained, we all benefit from it.” Contact holle. paul@gmail.com for additional information. tws

We Didn’t Start The Fire

Lt. Mike Witthar, right, supervises as members of the Blaine County Fire Academy advance an uncharged line up a ladder and onto the roof. Photo by Yanna Lantz

But we’ll put it out

laine County Fire Academy trainees are about halfway through their rigorous training schedule. The 28 new candidates started the classroom portion of their training in late January, where an estimated 128 hours of total work are expected plus double those hours in self-study. However, that’s only part of their training and arguably less exciting than actual application. This past weekend, the trainees got some practical skill sets under their belts at the Hailey fire station. The training day consisted of four stations in 50-minute rotations, each tackled by a small group of candidates with an instructor. “These are the basic skill sheets they’ll be tested on,” said Hailey Fire Department engineer Dannie Edelman. Skills explored included: forced entry through a door and window, led by Lt. Tory Frank; how to hoist tools/equipment through the use of knots and ropes, led by Lt. Mike Huntsman; exit a restricted passage and force entry through a wall, led by Capt. Jon Wisby; and attack line up a ladder with a charged and uncharged hand line, led by Lt. Mike Witthar and Edelman. “We’re basically taking what we learn in the classroom and turning it into sharpened skills with practice,” said Payton McCune, trainee for Wood River. “It’s all really about learning technique. I’m little, but I can hold a two and a half line. If you muscle your way through, you’ll run into trouble.” This year’s academy members range in age from 17-64 years old. The trainees had distinctive reasons for applying. “Originally, the schedule and the variety of the job is why I applied,” said Quentin Heath, trainee for Wood River. “I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie and I also know I don’t like Monday through Friday nine to five. I’m loving it so far.” “I started in a program called The Explorers at Wood River High School when I was a junior,” said Andrew Pearson, trainee for Hailey. “The program gives kids who are interested in firefighting a taste of it and a chance to learn the basics.

So when I started the academy as a senior, I already had prior knowledge.” Pearson is one of the younger members of the academy, whose trainees are as diverse as the fires they will fight. “I’ve worked with the firefighter medics for a few years now ~ I’m one of the ER docs at the hospital,” explained Terry O’Connor, trainee for Ketchum. “It’s a good group and things are going pretty well in training,” said Lt. Huntsman. “They’re a very dynamic group of people and they seem to be working well together. McCune and several other candidates said that their favorite training day, so far, was “water day,” where they got to play with the fire hose. “I think every boy wants to play with a big hose when he grows up, so the water has been a lot of fun,” said O’Connor. “Big toys for big boys.” Another favorite technique exercise for trainees was ladder

bailouts. “If something happens in the interior and you have to bail out of a second-story window, there’s a technique to do it safely,” explained Lt. Huntsman. One of the more challenging techniques for candidates to master has been nozzle reaction. “As you’re flowing about 450 gallons per minute at 100 psi [pounds per square inch], you have all that force pushing back against you and you’re trying to move against that,” described Lt. Huntsman. This Saturday, trainees will tackle car-fire attack, more hose work for going up and down stairs and ladders with charged and uncharged lines, and additional search and rescue work ~ essentially the bread and butter of training. Stay tuned for more information about the Blaine County Fire Academy trainees and their graduation in May. For more information, call 208-7208602. tws

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR MARCH 18 FROM PICABO ANGLER

Spring has sprung in the Sun Valley area, and with the consistent change to springlike weather comes new opportunities! Steelhead season is underway in the Stanley/Challis area. Early snowmelt and warm days have brought the river up, thus bringing the fish up with it. This doesn’t necessarily mean a prolonged season in as much as it means an earlier end to follow the early beginning. If you love chasing these sea-run rainbows, now is your time. We have guides available should you need a lesson or just want that extra set of eyes and knowledge for the day. The Big Wood River has continued its temperamental nature that has been commonplace since the recent forest fires throughout the drainage. Recent rains have blown it out and this will continue with most big storms, but expect some OK fishing toward the end of the month as long as clear skies prevail. There is a little bit of fishing to be had below Magic Reservoir, in the Big Wood’s canyon stretch, but the area is not quite as fishy as it has been in years past. The lower Big Lost River is the place to be for most anglers right now. Prespawn is in full swing and is timed nicely with frequent lunchtime Blue-Winged Olive action on the surface. If the fish aren’t working the surface, a nymph combo is a great choice. Think small Pheasant Tails to copy the Baetis (BWO) nymphs and try red-colored anything (Copper Johns and Zebra Midges) to imitate the midges and the eggs that early spawners drop throughout the river. This is a great day trip and, until anglers can drive over Trail Creek Summit, Picabo Angler is open daily with a great fly selection, gas, groceries and lunch. Stop by for a latté as well. We are truly a one-stop shop for anglers! The South Fork of the Boise River continues to fish OK. Sporadic Blue-Winged Olive hatches as well as some good Midge action are enough to bring a few fish to the fly. It hasn’t been gangbusters, but it is a beautiful time of year down there and always a few degrees warmer as long as the wind doesn’t blow. This is also an excellent time of year to begin prospecting our local still waters, like Magic Reservoir or the Little Wood. Carp fishing the Snake River is also very good right now, as fly anglers take advantage of another pre-spawn opportunity.

Happy Fishing Everyone!

This Ain’t My First Rodeo A BY MARIA PREKEGES

s some of you may know, I work in the television industry, hosting and producing a variety of television programming. During March, I spent most of the month at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, interviewing cowboys and producing feature pieces. (And yes, I know I’m fortunate.) It’s the largest television production I work on throughout the year and it is so much more than just a rodeo. There are live concerts every night (think Alan Jackson, Blake Shelton and even Pitbull), a stock show, barbeque cookoff, carnival and food vendors, as well as plenty of shopping, to touch on just a few of the many offerings. There are over 30,000 volunteers that help the staff put on this massive 20day event. But enough about the numbers. The really surprising fact is that the rodeo is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. They raise money (and lots of it) for scholarships for the youth of Texas. This year alone, they are committing to over $24 million. I mention this fact not only because it is quite amazing, but also because I have worked with nonprofits, many of them in Ketchum, and although the magnitude of this organization might not be comparable to smaller nonprofits, you will still find similar features between the two that we can learn from. Some takeaways include: 1. You must work as a team. You might not always agree, but working together for the end goal is what’s important. 2. Respect. No matter what, respect your fellow employee or volunteer. Enough said. 3. It’s all about relationships; not just with the donors, but with everyone, from large to small. 4. Small things do matter. Picking up a piece on paper on the ground, saying hello, and smiling… from the CEO to the volunteers and guests… EVERYONE matters. It takes an army, and we can all learn from this fantastic organization that I am blessed to say I am a small part of. And, what the heck, working with cowboys doesn’t hurt, either.

First Dollar Earned The first real dollar I ever earned was right here in the Wood River Valley, working with Iconoclast Books in Ketchum in 2002. Gary Hunt ~ the bookstore’s late owner ~ hired me to help him move the store from one location in Ketchum to another during the summer after my sophomore year of high school. We also spent many hours building bookshelves for the new space. The bookstore is now in yet another new location (it now resides at 671 Sun Valley Road W. in Ketchum), though some of the shelves I built with Gary that summer and several summers after (during my early college days) still serve books to the store’s customers on a daily basis at its current place. I recently received my first dollar as the owner of The Weekly Sun (which I purchased two weeks ago from Steve Johnston, who will remain on staff as The Sun’s sales and marketing guru) and have been thinking a lot about that first dollar that Gary handed me nearly 13 years ago. I’m so excited to work with The Sun team and continue forward on our path for truth and beauty in local news and I want to say a warm thank you from the barrel’s bottom of my beating heart to all The Sun’s staff members, writers, advertisers, readers and everyone else who has helped this business grow and thrive over the relatively few years it has been around these parts. Thank you all for helping us spread a little sunshine across our Wood River Valley every week. And, stay tuned as we explore new lands and as-yet-unseen horizons, and ~ of course ~ as we continue to celebrate our beautiful Valley lifestyle. Most sincerely, enthusiastically and First Amendmently, Brennan Francisco Rego Keffer Publisher & Editor

I built this bookshelf and many others with Gary Hunt, Iconoclast Book’s late owner, starting when I was 16 and through my early college years. Resting on the shelf is an “applause-o-meter” I designed and gifted to the bookstore during an openmic poetry reading in the early 2000s. Photo by Brennan Rego

BUT, in my life at least, they’ve taken a back seat. That is great news for coffee table conversation, board games, the great outdoors…etc. When I think of how many lost conversations and missed connections I’ve had since the dawn of Myspace in 2003 through my current Facebook activity in 2015, it’s actually quite shameful. Watching a room full of good friends on their phones, all submerged in separate text and Facebook The transition from talking to texting has taken over. Courtesy graphchat conversations with someic from http://tinyurl.com/n6x56we one on the other side of the country, makes me bonkers. YOUR FRIENDS ARE LITERALY TWO FEET AWAY. WHY DON’T YOU TALK TO US FACE-TO-FACE? The character Hannah in HBO’s “Girls” states: “Didn’t you say texting is like the lowest form of communication on the pillar of chat?” Marnie corrects her: “The totem of chat.” And, Facebook is the lowest, “followed by Gchat, then texting, then email, then phone; face-to-face is of course ideal, but it’s not of this time.” It’s sad, but true. Technology has become a shield from emotional connection. People are too vulnerable to say what they feel face-to-face, so the Facebook chat or text messages carry their feelings. And far too often, these feelings are misconstrued due to the nature of the text. So, then I’m left fuming over a text not meant to offend me, but the person who sent it wouldn’t pick up their phone for 30 seconds to explain. Hence, I’m throwing in the towel on a social life that revolves around social media. Don’t get me wrong; it’s nice to stay in touch with long-lost friends and fuel nostalgia by looking back at old photos on Facebook. But, I want to start taking new photos of new friends and new places. I want nights of laughter and connection with the people I’m in the same room with. I’m committing to putting down my phone. tws

BY TONY TAYLOR

Bullion City was one of the first mining towns established in the Wood River Valley and sister city to Galena at the northern most point in the Valley, near the source of the Big Wood River. They were established early in the year of 1880 and within two or three years, Hailey, Ketchum and Bellevue grew in between. Most of the wealth generated in those early years was on paper and grew from over six thousand unproven claims that in turn spawned smaller camps and settlements based on the same feral speculation. In that early time span, only the richest and most convenient ore was actually taken from the earth. Bullion was an exception and started

extracting and processing the galena ore within months of filing their claim. A Stamp Mill was built to crush the mineral ore extract to a fine powder. Not far from the mill, a concentrator mixed the powder with mercury. Pure silver bonded with the mercury and the resulting mixture was heated until the mercury boiled off, leaving a residue of highly concentrated silver. Locals spoofed their town as “two miles long and eighteen inches wide.” It perched on the steep hillside of “Dublin Gulch” (most of the 800 citizens of Bullion were Irish) and followed the haphazard pattern of hundreds of mineral claims. It nestled into the tailing piles and mill sites with general stores, boarding houses, assay offices and butcher shops in a confused

jigsaw motif. Most “residences” were wood and canvas and most businesses were fashioned from rough-cut timber that was locally milled and harvested. Three hydrants placed equidistant down the narrow main street were connected to pumps powered by steam from the stamp mill and the source for fire suppression as well as a great deal of local pride. Unfortunately, when a fire started five years later in the unoccupied saloon abandoned by Charles Queen of Shoshone, no one could make the system work. In less then a half hour the fire spread to the Miners Union hall and Mrs. Murphy’s boarding house. By then it was only possible “to stay the progress of the devouring element by blowing up buildings with giant powder.” By blowing

up the warehouse of Phelan & Hayes the flames were stopped, but on the other side of the street the fire was fought all the way to Billy Welche’s Stable and three more building had to be blown up in order to stop the fire. This was a severe stroke to Bullion, especially for “those several families who lost their all and were left entirely destitute.” The town would never be totally rebuilt and sputtered into the twentieth century limping on diminished silver demand and occasional re-works and new ore leads on “bunco” paper.

isney Studios scores again big time with a terrific new inspirational and tear jerking true story film for all ages following last year’s great “Million Dollar Arm” with “McFarland USA”. Although it could have been a cliché riddled genre sports “Rocky” formula picture “McFarland USA” rises way above the pack in many ways because of the stellar performance of it’s lead Kevin Costner as Jim White – the high school football coach that had to leave Boise after a confrontation with a player and with a past of confrontations with administrators that leaves him and his family in one of the poorest towns in America – McFarland, California. McFarland is the home to migrant Mexican farm workers in the San Joaquin Valley and the director Niki Caro pulls no

punches in depicting the economic straights it’s citizens find themselves in. Costner quickly is relieved of his football coaching duties but is impressed by the running abilities of his students that rise at 4 a.m. to work the fields and then literally run to school. He then makes the improbable decision to start a cross-country team to compete against the all white prep schools that dominate the sport. With seven students, all beautifully drawn characters in the film, the team goes on to take the state title in 1987 and begins an improbable streak of championships through the nineties and that continues to this day. What helps to make the film special is in its examination of the migrant worker’s lives and their amazing dignity. In one of the best scenes in the film Costner goes into the fields himself at 4 a.m. only to be humbled about

the difficulty of the work. It gives him new insight into the lives of his students and gives the audience a real appreciation for what they achieve in this great film. tws

Hailey Police Officer Raul Ornelas BY KRISTY HEITZMAN

Officer Raul Ornelas has been in the Wood River Valley for most of his life. His family moved here in 1979. He started out as a volunteer firefighter and then became an EMT and has been with the Hailey Police Department for the last 12 years. He enjoys helping people, and that is an understatement. He is constantly on the lookout to help people. As I was sitting at Hailey Coffee asking numerous questions, he saw a glint of some keys on the floor across the room and politely excused himself to turn in the keys so they could fine their rightful owner. His attention to detail is key to helping the citizens in our community. For the past five years, he has worked at Wood River High School and Wood River Middle School looking after our children in their school environment. He truly loves what he does! With a genuine smile and light in his eyes, he spoke of the kids that he helps to mentor or ones that may lose their way and make some poor choices and how he chooses to be the “tough” guy that may follow them around to remind them that someone is there and that someone does care about the path that they chose to take. He spoke of having some kids that he got to know well due to their choices, and yet they grew up and have come back after leaving the area and they understand that Officer Raul is doing his job. “It isn’t personal; it is business.” He feels that if he can help even one child, to leave a positive impression with or help a child change their course, then he has been successful. Our kids are our future. He views himself as a friend that will call you out, follow you around to make sure you do not make a mistake. Many teens make bad choices due to social pressures of acceptance. He wants to help everyone realize that they are all special in their own unique way.

absurd avenue

‘Wolves Without Borders’ BY ROBERT CATTE

The reintroduction of wolves during the mid-1990s into Yellowstone National Park and the states of Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana was controversial at the time and remains controversial today. Pro-wolf campaigners would have us believe that wolves, regardless any increases in the wolf population, are endangered by anti-wolf activists, hunters and callous federal and state officials and politicians. Anti-wolf activists and hunters would have us believe that wolves are a danger to our deer and elk populations and our Western way of life. Put in the simplest terms, the pro-wolf campaigners would have us believe that "You can never have too many wolves!" On the other hand, the anti-wolf folks could be characterized as believing (to paraphrase County Joe McDonald), "The only good wolf is one that's dead." Regardless of the positions of the pro-wolf and anti-wolf activists, the reintroduction of wolves into Wyoming, Montana and especially Idaho has been spectacularly successful. According to a post on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Mountain Prairie Region web page, "Wolf restoration in the Northern Rocky Mountains (NRM) has been an amazing success thanks to both the resiliency of wolves and the cooperative efforts of Federal, State and Tribal agencies, conservation groups and private citizens including ranchers, sportsmen and outfitters. The most recent data available (end of 2013) indicates that the NRM wolf population contains at least 1,691 wolves, at least 320 packs and at least 78 breeding pairs. This population has exceeded its recovery goals since 2002. By every biological measure, the NRM wolf population is recovered and remains secure under State management." If you look at a map of wolf pack locations (Idaho Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), you'll notice that the great majority of wolf packs are concentrated in central and northern Idaho. According to an article in the Idaho Mountain Express circa 2013, "There are 10 documented (wolf) packs in the Southern Mountains Zone that encompasses Ketchum." Well, we've got too many wolves in our valley ~ many more wolves than the pro-wolf and anti-wolves know what to do with. However, there is solution. Export our surplus wolves to other states in the union that don't have any wolves at all. "Wolves Without Borders" is the solution! "Wolves Without Borders," a new, non-extremist environmental program, would gradually reintroduce wolves into all the states that currently do not have viable wolf populations. However, the program would go further and not just introduce wolves into rural regions, where ranchers and hunters might not initially welcome them. In order to offer all US citizens and communities the enhanced environmental benefits of active wolf packs, "Wolves Without Borders" would primarily introduce wolves into urban communities, where the great majority of Americans reside. Imagine the joy and enthusiasm the introduction of wolves would bring to environmental and social activists in Berkeley, Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Movie stars in Santa Monica and Santa Barbara would swoon with delight to encounter wolves in their exclusive neighborhoods. Residents of Chicago, Dallas, St. Louis, New York, Philadelphia and Miami would have the opportunity to enjoy a more environmentally diverse existence by sharing their urban neighborhoods with biologically friendly wolves. It's_ time for Idahoans to think "outside the state" and begin promoting the exportation of wolves to other deserving states. If wolves are good for Idaho, then they must be good for all the other states in the union. Besides, it's constitutionally correct to export Idaho's surplus wolves throughout the entire country. The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees equal protection of the laws to all citizens of the US. It's simply wrong to deny the benefits of active wolf packs to the great majority of the citizens of this great country. They deserve our surplus wolves!

UI-Blaine Extension Tips

Easter Rabbits

BY SARAH BUSDON

ringing home a cute, cuddly Easter bunny might seem like a good idea, but have you really given it a lot of thought? Thousands of ex-Easter bunnies are abandoned to shelters or into the wild each year when their novelty wears off. Pet rabbits can live from seven to 10 years or more and require the same long-term care as dogs and cats. Pet rabbits are not low-maintenance pets. They have specific dietary and veterinary needs, and must be handled with care; a rabbit is not always a good pet for younger children. Rabbits

can be house-trained but need bedding, and a place of their own to call home. You will also need to keep on top of weekly cleanings for your rabbit’s hutch or cage to avoid strong odors. If your family has made the decision to get a rabbit, start by giving a chocolate bunny or a stuffed toy for Easter and, if your young children are really serious about it, a book on rabbit care. If they’re still begging you for a pet rabbit after the Easter holiday has passed, go to your local animal shelter or rescue group and find out how to adopt a rabbit. Another thing to keep in mind is that rabbits tend to be happiest if they have another rabbit to bond with. Make sure

you get your rabbits fixed or in just a matter of weeks you’ll end up with a bunch of baby rabbits. There’s a campaign called “Make Mine Chocolate!” that was started in 2002 by the Columbus House Rabbit Society in an effort to educate the public about the challenges of owning a rabbit and encourages parents to give chocolate or toy bunnies as Easter gifts instead of live rabbits. I would encourage anyone considering giving a rabbit as an Easter gift to visit their campaign website, www. makeminechocolate.org, prior to getting a rabbit. You can also contact your local Blaine County 4-H office for more information on rabbit care.

Marketron, Hailey’s Slice Of Silicon Valley Originally founded in 1969 by a California disc jockey, Marketron creates and provides technology that radio stations all over the world use to manage advertising and other related aspects of the business. Courtesy photo BY MIKE MCKENNA

pon first glance, it doesn’t seem like the Wood River Valley has very much in common with Silicon Valley ~ the country’s high-tech hub in the southern portion of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California. Sure, the best and brightest people in the technology and software industries like to vacation, own second homes and come to conferences in the Valley, but they don’t think about actually moving here. Maybe they should. For over 15 years now, Marketron has proven that just such a company, one that not only focuses on technology but also on creating a healthy, positive and productive work environment, can flourish in Hailey.

“We’re lucky to be able to practice our vocation in this location,” said Jeff London, the senior vice-president of client services for Marketron. London and Walt Denekas, the company’s CFO, were nice enough to give me a tour of Marketron. One of the funny things about Marketron is that while most people seem to know where their modern-styled offices are on North River Street, nobody seems to know exactly what they do. Originally founded in 1969 by a California disc jockey, Marketron creates and provides technology that radio stations from right here in Hailey, to all over the world, use to manage advertising and other related aspects of the business. As Denekas explained, Marketron is like an airplane booking system ~ it provides software to fill the

seats, for the right prices and times, and handles the financial transactions. “So that the radio stations can focus on their jobs, getting information out and connecting with listeners,” London said. It’s obviously something they do well. Marketron works with over 7,000 radio stations, managing over $18 billion in advertising sales annually. They also have offices in Toronto, Alabama, Denver, San Francisco and Chicago, but Hailey has been their headquarters since their building came online in 1999. One of the big reasons for their success is that being located in Hailey allows Marketron to follow that Silicon Valley style of work hard, play hard and give back. Named one of the “Best Places to Work in Idaho” in 2014, Marketron not only pays their 50 local employees well, they also offer things like ski passes and paid community service days. “These are the kind of jobs that really benefit the community,” Denekas said. “We don’t have any trouble getting people to come here.” “If you’re going to live here, you might as well enjoy it,” London said, adding that Marketron offers a “big-city job while enjoying small-town living.”

I Have A Dream Foundation BY WILLIAM PATTNOSH

he I Have A Dream Foundation (IHAD) is a national, benevolent organization that has blessed the Wood River Valley with its commitment to our local schoolchildren in a multitude of ways. This past Wednesday, IHAD Foundation Idaho Board of Directors President Kenneth Lewis and his executive committee and staff gracefully brought the community together by hosting a wonderful supper. The dinner galvanized and garnered the guaranteed support of not only a staunchly supportive business community, but a myriad of concerned, local individuals who care about the future of our youth across the country. They all truly believe that education is a significant passport to a productive life. Prior to working within this chapter, Lewis served the charity in the role of national chairman in New York City and was responsible for helping to start 10 “Dreamer” groups in Portland, Ore. After a 24-year dedication of service as an advocate for disadvantaged children, whereby assisting these young students to prosper and grow, this is clearly his passion and Lewis’s mission. The featured speaker was Donna Lawrence, president and CEO of I Have A Dream, based in New York City, which was founded 30 years ago by the philanthropist Eugene Lang. Lang wanted to do something to help level the playing field for children living in poverty so that they could have the same opportunities for college or career as their affluent peers. Lawrence’s tour of America kicked off in Des Moines, Iowa, and she’s visited all of the groups participating in this cause along the way as IHAD seeks to improve and expand its model and also leverage its human and financial capital to impact broader policy reform. Addressing the attendees of the event, Lawrence emphasized that what was truly amazing about the program was its unique features. “There are 36 programs nationwide,” she said. “We work with the poorest children throughout the United States. We don’t cherry pick. We are a success and get the results; 90 percent of our ‘Dreamers’ graduate high school, 70 percent go to college.” Here’s how I Have A Dream works in our community: a third-grade class is chosen at Alturas Elementary School in Hailey. The selection process is based upon the class most in need of the program. They have to meet the strict criteria. “The first priority is the children whom school officials feel are the most in need and will benefit from the extra help,” explained vice chair Leslie Silva. “We spend three days a week with the students after they are adopted to afford them tutoring, after-school programs and summer activities, all the way through high school graduation. In addition, they are guaranteed two years of higher education, whether it is college or technical training. For me, it’s simply a gift to be part of this!”

Ketchum Water Bonds Expected to go on May 19 ballot

A $450,000 revenue bond issue to replace aging portions of the city water system will go on the May 19 ballot if it gains the expected City Council approval. A simple majority of voters would need to approve the proposal, which is expected to increase reliability without raising rates. Portions of Ketchum use pipes installed by Ketchum Springs Water, a private water system that the city acquired in the 1980’s. The system serves parts of the community core as well as Lewis Street, Saddle Road and Spur Lane. The Ketchum Springs Water pipes are constructed of wood and steel. The aging lines are difficult to maintain, were often buried less than six feet deep and are prone to breakage that disrupts water service. No water meters have been installed on services off the Ketchum Spring Water distribution. Property owners served by this system currently pay a flat rate no matter how much water they use. Once the meters are installed, the flat rate will become variable depending on the size of the lot and home. As part of this project a water meter will be installed for each property converting off the Ketchum Springs Water main and onto the newer municipal water main. Water meters would promote conservation, she said, and the old water lines could be used for other purposes such a broadband conduit. While the city would pay for installation of new meters and service lines to the property line, property owners would pay the cost of new or relocated water service lines on private property. Plans are to offer them the option of paying at the time of construction or over time through assessments.

Attending the dinner at Bigwood Bread’s beautiful brand-new bakery and restaurant facility on Northwood Way in Ketchum were many of the loyal board members, volunteers and their families and friends from around the Valley. Board chair Colonel Reginald Reeves articulated his involvement precisely. He has devoted his time to the foundation because he truly believes in the positive results it produces with all of those who participate within the program. “It’s a chance to help children achieve an education they might otherwise be denied,” Reeves stated. “The purpose of our ‘Dreamer’ program is to tutor and mentor the children; we provide encouragement and financial help for their secondary school education.” Board member Terry Ring, owner of Silver Creek Outfitters in Ketchum, summed up his effort this way: “Ketchum businesses realize the importance of I Have A Dream. Education lifts people up and closes the achievement gap. It’s all about the opportunity for these kids, and it’s right here in the Wood River Valley.”

n exactly one week, downtown Boise will transform into a swarming vortex of music, beer and other forms of art. Whether locals love to bob their heads to cool tunes, get inspired by other artists in their element, or just sit and people watch, the time is now. The fourth annual Treefort Music Fest runs from March 25-29, and now there are five days to enjoy the City of Trees showcasing its local artists and hosting some big names. As the name suggests, the main attraction is five nights of over 430 bands playing several venues downtown. A couple of familiar Wood River bands are forting: Old Death Whisper, Sheep Bridge Jumpers, Spike Coggins, Tylor & the Train Robbers and Wild Throne. There are also nine other “forts” that share the stage with the music fest. The Treefort Film Fest features 11 feature films, 11 shorts and several panels. Animator Don Hertzfeldt’s “World of Tomorrow,” winner of the Sundance 2015 Grand Jury Prize features a little girl’s trip into the future. All screenings are held at the Modern Hotel and the Flix. For the tech nerds, Hackfort offers several panels as well as a showcase of homegrown Boise tech. For the map junkies, Hackfort is releasing Boise’s online GIS open data for use in creating apps that benefit the city. In an effort to make Hackfort more

Yogafort features local and national acts performing especially for 12+ yoga, dance and fusion classes. Emily Wells, Galaxe, Afrosonics and Naan Violence are some of the acts you can look forward to. And if learning Bahkti Chanting is an interest, Marti Nikko and DJ Drez are good mentors to help. Say sitting down sounds better than stretching out. Storyfort has a smorgasbord of human experience to share: writing panels, history lectures, storytelling, poetry and a music walking tour. This fort will give you everything you need to nail that campfire story for the summer. There will also be small-press books and zines available. Maybe serious needs a break. Comedyfort will relieve that creeping need for schadenfreude.

WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA

The beer and whiskey flowed at will with the lads and lasses in

full gear. Many were honoring the Irish and many were masking their regrets on a winter season gone sour. No snow, 60 degrees and clean pristine streets aren't something you applaud in the middle of March at a ski resort. Well, it is what it is. We'll get through this, like we get through everything else - drinking on Main Street. The lack of advertising is getting critical as merchants scan the skies and search for "white gold." When there's none to be found, store owners zip up their purses and find it really funny when the thought of advertising is mentioned. That's the way we have to roll. How important is the mortgage payment, anyway? Hang in there with us, folks. Hey, we could always do a blog and attack!

SENIOR MOMENTS Where did I leave my glasses?

Nice try, people in their twenties.

I just want to live long enough to see people younger than me fail.

TO PUT ST. PATRICK'S DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF LENT?

I might just take a nap now so that bedtime comes a little faster. I feel bad for Brian Williams because I also can't remember if I was shot down in a helicopter or not. The only time I can stop eating popcorn is when there isn't any left. Has anyone ever found their Apple TV remote? The threats by terrorist groups to attack our malls is hilarious to all of us who shop online. I'd be happy to take Bruce Jenner's old clothes. Everyone is afraid to die alone, but who knows, it might be awesome. It's just that no one is ever there to report back. I've never seen a person sober at a Red Box.

Corrections

Many folks thought our Movie Posters in the Blatant County Film Festival were taken from the Internet. But, no, they were done by Mr. Gorby, whose professional skills are so great that readers don't realize how these graphic "tricks" are prepared here locally. Yes, he is that good and the posters were all his. Our BCNews issue on young families in the valley was well received even though the "Baby Vicious" column was written 32 years ago. The babies are now 34 and 32. Time marches on and it's getting scary out there. Mea Culpa. May I suggest you tell your friends and family about us and tell your local merchant to buy an ad to support our publication. Should we apologize for the lack of snow? We will if you want us to do so. Sorry. Next week is going to be extraordinary and we're saving up our "Forgive Me's" and plan to dump a slew upon you. Always look on the bright side of life.

MISCELLANEOUS, TOO! Well-behaved women rarely make the 6 o'clock news. It's important now that we give Bruce Jenner the privacy and dignity that his family so violently opposes.

The #1 Pilgrim name is "Buckles." Oh, I thought you were supposed to chant racist remarks in Oklahoma. The University of Phoenix's mascot is just a guy struggling to open up a can of tuna fish. Another kind of "Amber Alert" is triggered by giving a stripper an espresso. We are just five years away from an "Oreo" package being a tub of stuff you eat with a cookie spoon.

The Way I See It... MARCH MADNESS

You want to hear about March Madness? I'll tell you about March Madness and I'm not referring to the basketball tournament with brackets. I'm talking about what makes me mad in March. How about it's 68 degrees today, everything has melted including snow, profits and hope, and the worst drivers in the country have descended upon Ketchum, Idaho just to tick us off in our misery. March Madness? How about trying to make a living writing comedy in a ski resort where it hasn't snowed all year? What's funny about that? Mad, yeah, I'm mad in March when I observe the City of Sun Valley going down the toilet again and allowing themselves to be open to ridicule one more time. I bet they never name a new councilperson. What was wrong with Jake P. He would have been perfect! I smell recall.

Tiger Woods wants to retire and not play golf. Everything is all fouled up in March. I'm trying to lose weight and the Girl Scouts think that this is the month to shove cookies down my throat. Nobody can win in March. And, this basketball tournament coming up? No one is going to beat Kentucky. Everyone on the team is a high school All-American. Why don't they just shut it down and give the Wildcats the trophy now - here in March. So, in conclusion, I don't like March. I used to like March when there was snow and people had money to spread around. The 21st will mark the first day of spring. Well, tell that to the area's wildlife who are out of hibernation and are already raiding our garbage and dining in our back yards. Always a pleasure. Nice talking to you.

March is so fouled up that St. Patrick's Day falls on a Tuesday this year making it difficult to celebrate and go to work the next day. Thus, the streets are left to only the genuine alcoholics who would be pounding cocktails anyway. I'm mad in March because I have to start thinking about filing my tax return, renewing my license plates and paying for my Post Office Box because they refuse to deliver mail to our homes like normal places in the world. It's March and I'm still mad about the Super Bowl. Aaron Hernandez is having a better March than me, how about that? Justin Bieber gets his own roast but Snoop Dog gets the best quip - "Stay tuned for his new album, Straight Out of Talent." Bruce Jenner decides to become a woman and I can't have his old male clothes? Come on!

Sass to everyone who’d rather be fishing than working. Kudos to everyone who gets to be fishing rather than working. Sass so many different speed limits on Highway 75; I spend more time reading speed limit signs than I do looking at the road. Kudos all the amazing people who make up our wonderful community here in the WRV :) Sass to those who would see Ketchum Town Square silenced. Let’s dance and sing! Sass to folks who pass on Warm Springs road; that’s illegal and scary. Kudos to all the people who stop for pedestrians throughout the Valley! :) Way to represent!!!
