uestions regarding the mental state of Blaine County resident Keith Eric Blankenship will continue to be argued in court prior to his second-degree murder case going before a jury in early 2016. Earlier scheduled to start on Oct. 13, 2015, the trial is now set to begin on April 12, 2016. The trial is expected to last about two and a half weeks. Blankenship, 51, who remains incarcerated in the Blaine County jail on $500,000 bond, is charged with the shooting death on or about Jan. 15, 2014, of 47-year-old Stephen Michael Romanchuk in a dispute over money.

Since 2006, the Blaine County School District budget revenue has remained flat and capped. In 2011 expenses began exceeding revenue and reserve funds are being used.

We Need to Hear From You!

What do you value in the Blaine County School District and to what degree do you value programming, class size, etc.? What insights do you have for dealing with increasing expenses while revenues remain flat? Want more information on the budget? Go to www.blaineschools.org

Michael David Michael David is the currently president of the Ketchum City Council and is running for a second term because, he says, “I’ve enjoyed the last three years working with the council and mayor,” and he wants to see the impetus of the current administration continue. David said the big issues facing Ketchum are recruiting and maintaining a “younger demographic,” creating a more diverse economy not dependent upon tourism and construction, and affordable housing. He strongly supports the Ketchum Innovation Center, which calls itself “both a home for startup businesses and the hub of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Wood River Valley.” David, 50, was born in Philadelphia, but grew up in Orange County, Calif. He graduated from UCLA and earned a law degree from Loyola University, but never practiced law. His parents owned a condominium in Sun Valley, which has been part of his life since childhood. He has lived full-time for 24 years in the Wood River Valley, where he says the quality of everything is higher than most places – environment, healthcare, culture, education and skiing. He enjoys skiing, hiking and spending time with his three children.

Jim Slanetz Jim Slanetz is the other inT H E W E E K LY S U N •

cumbent looking for a second term. He was encouraged to run the first time by Nina Jonas, who was elected mayor in that same election. Slanetz says he feels better about the city coming out of his first term than he did as it began. He highly praises Jonas’ leadership and thinks the city “is functioning well at all levels.” One reason for that, according to Slanetz, is that “everyone in the city government gets along and doesn’t waste time on personal nonsense.” He believes that there will be more growth in Ketchum’s future and that a major issue of city government will be to maintain a balance between developers, affordable housing and a consistent policy. “We need to be smart about growth,” he says. Slanetz, 51, was born in California, but raised in Nashua, N.H. He graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in political science. In high school, he was on the ski team, but by the time he moved to Ketchum, in 1988, he had become a snowboarder. Soon after arriving in Ketchum, Slanetz and his wife, Karin Reichow, started a business out of their garage that developed into the Board Bin – the oldest specialty snowboard shop in the Northwest. Slanetz and Karin have two sons, Ziggy, 16, and Shea, 14.

Neil Morrow Neil Morrow is running for the first time for Ketchum City Council. He said he is “not running against anything,” as he thinks the City of Ketchum is in great shape. He is running because he thinks he has a lot to contribute to the council and he considers it a duty and a privilege to be able to do so. Morrow is in favor of supporting small businesses. “I would like to do something good for my city,” he said.” Morrow, 52, was born in Pittsburgh, where he was raised and went to high school. He attended college at Ohio University, the University of Massachusetts and the University of Haifa, and has a degree in political science. He earned a law degree from Duquesne University and practiced law in Pennsylvania and Ketchum. Morrow first came to Sun Valley for a summer visit in 1976, spent the summer of 1980 here

OCTOBER 14, 2015

and, when he came for the Dalai Lama’s visit in 2005, he began what he calls “a love affair with the Wood River Valley” and decided to stay. He is the ex-director of the Ketchum Community Development Corporation, worked for Fly Sun Valley Alliance and currently practices what he calls “affordable law” for working-class people in Ketchum.

Mickey Garcia Mickey Garcia is a wellknown Wood River Valley candidate for public office. He has, for several years, run unsuccessfully for a variety of elected positions. This time, Garcia is running again for Ketchum City Council. When asked whether past election results gave him any indication of his chance to win and whether he thought he could succeed this time, Garcia replied, “I don’t know. The election will tell.” When asked why he continues to run for office, he said, “I’m doing what comes naturally. I pay attention to public policy and I can do it.” Garcia considers the current city council to be “Orwellian.” He says that it demonstrates “contempt for the individual citizen,” and that passing ordinances with no respect for the individual is “fascism.” He cited the city’s recent ordinance banning the sale and distribution of single-use plastic water bottles at city events on city property as an example of the city’s lack of respect for the individual. Garcia, 72, said he was born on the kitchen table of his sharecropper parents’ cabin on a farm in Clark County, Ark. He says that the man who signed his birth certificate didn’t know how to spell ‘Miguel’ and wrote ‘Mike’ instead. His family moved to California soon after to work in the shipyards during World War II, and Garcia grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. After high school, he joined the U.S. Air Force where he spent eight years, including two tours in Vietnam. He was a firefighter for many years and went to college at the University of California-Davis before transferring to the University of Montana, where he earned a degree in forestry. He first came to Sun Valley to ski in 1972 and has lived in Ketchum full-time since 1985. tws

NEWS BRIEFS

Police offer gifts for safe bike/pedestrian habits The Hailey Police Department is partnering with Subway Sandwiches at 600 N. Main Street in Hailey to reward youngsters for practicing good safety habits. In the new program, Hailey police officers will issue a $3 gift card useable at Subway to reward youngsters for exhibiting good bicycle and pedestrian safety.

The Ellsworth Inn A Mountain Bed and Breakfast

According to a police press release, the program is intended to foster “positive exchanges” between police and youth and to strengthen trust among youth and police in the community. Gift cards will be rewarded for various reasons, such as wearing bicycle helmets, dismounting bikes when crossing crosswalks and complying with basic pedestrian laws. “We want to encourage kids to play safe, be safe and encourage their friends to do the same,” the press release states. “In our small town, we have lots of kids who use great judgment and we would like to reward them and say thank you for their job well done.”

Land, water and wildlife program wins award The Idaho Chapter of the American Planning Association announced on Oct. 7 that Blaine County’s Land, Water and Wildlife Program has won the 2015 Planning Tool or Implementation Award. The award emphasizes innovation, transferability and results that can be measured over the long term. The county’s land, water and wildlife program was made possible by voter approval of a two-year tax assessment in 2008 that raised $3.4 million with the intent of achieving optimal conservation value and protection of land, water and wildlife for future generations. To date, the county has used the funding to provide partial funding for eight projects, six involving “perpetual conservation easements that conserve important ranchlands, water resources and wildlife habitat.” A seventh project involved building a fish ladder and bypass channel to allow young trout to reach cooler upstream waters, and an eighth was for the procurement of native wildlife seed that the U.S. Forest Service added to its aerial seed mix following the Beaver Creek Fire in Blaine County in 2013. Blaine County reported in a press release that from the original funding of $3.4 million, $1.5 million remains for other projects. Additional information and eligibility for funding through the program is available from Clare Swanger, program coordinator, at c.swanger@ me.com, or at 208-309-0960.

Idaho Power student art contest seeks submissions October is National Energy Awareness Month, when K–12 students throughout Idaho Power’s service area create artwork for the company’s fifth annual Student Art Contest. Entries must be submitted by Oct. 20. Winners and their teachers will receive gift cards, and their artwork will be displayed on our website and Facebook page. This year, a new category – 100 Years of Energy/Electricity – recognizes Idaho Power’s 100th birthday in 2016. Students (3rd–5th, 6th–8th and 9th–12th grades) will show us what 100 years of energy looks like and what it means to them. The artwork may even be used during the centennial celebration. Other entry categories are Electrical Safety (K–2nd grade only) and Ways to Save Energy (3rd–5th, 6th–8th and 9th-12th). Teachers needing student art contest supplies will find a request form on the Educational Materials page at idahopower.com/loanlibrary, where they also can download a PDF of the K-2nd grade coloring sheet.

ood River High School senior Cassidy Simpson has two great loves in life: dancing and school. “I’ve struggled in the past in school, but this year it’s really hit me that I made it,” she said. “I love all my classes.” This year, Simpson’s course load includes college English, Advanced Placement government, environmental sciences, and secure financial planning. “I guess I’m just trying to figure out what’s good for me and what’s not. I really like the Wood River High School administrative staff because they try to connect to everyone and conjugate with everyone through all the grades, and the teachers do the same thing. “My favorite subject is English literature and composition and I’m really passionate about writing essays. “One assignment was to find an object in the house and explain why it has meaning to you. I wrote about my first ballet slipper from when I was four. I like writing about anything and it doesn’t have to be a specific topic.” “Writing is such a great way to express your emotions – like if you are upset, you can improve the situation. I want to major in writing in college and I see myself as a writer, but things can change quickly.” Simpson’s other love in life is dance, which she has been doing since she was four years old – all with Footlight Dance Centre. “From four to seven, I tried every sport I could. There are so many great programs. I just wanted to see what I liked. At seven, I was playing softball so I had to make a

choice and I chose dance because I decided it was my one real passion. “I remember the first time I performed. I kept thinking, Who are all these people staring at me? Everyone was laughing because it was so cute. I’ve looked at the tape since and it’s so funny seeing me at four years old trying to figure out what to do.” Today, Simpson studies six days a week, but her schedule is more rigorous when there is a performance ahead. “This Christmas we will be doing ‘The Nutcracker’ with the Eugene Ballet Company. We had to audition, which we had never done before, and it was super scary, but we all made it.” Of all the forms of dance, ballet is Simpson’s favorite. “I’ve loved it since I was four,” she said. “It’s a way for me to express emotions, and some of the movements are so beautiful that it’s such a gift to be able to do it.” Simpson’s senior project involved both dance and writing, as she produced a book of photographs and text about The Empowerment of Dance. “I wanted to show everyone what ballet is because I’ve been told by people that dance isn’t a sport, because if it’s not a team, it’s not a sport. “I wanted to take photos to show what dance is and how hard it is – it’s not an easy sport! People see a dancer on pointe and they don’t know how difficult it was to get there.” tws

VISION AND HARD WORK LEAD TO ‘DUE WEST PRESS’ Dreams become reality for one local couple

BY MARIA PREKEGES

or Kevin and Gwen Fizpatrick, a working art center and screen studio were merely dreams last fall, but by their vision, hard work and the support of many people, including a crowd fundraising campaign, their dreams have turned into reality. Meet Due West Press, an art and educational workshop of public use with a brick-and-mortar location in the industrial park area of South Woodside in Hailey. The couple said their idea started as a mission to “provide affordable options for making exceptional artwork – a self-sustaining workshop where anyone, no matter their age or demographic, has a space to openly create. “We provided outreach and participation in creating public art, instilling pride for locality and beautification of our city,” the Fizpatricks, who tend to finish each other’s sentences, said together. “This includes, but is not limited to, such avenues as public murals, art exhibits, workshops, classes, live music and guest speakers.” To help raise funds for the venture, Due West Press started an online crowdfunding campaign in January through Indiegogo. The goal was to raise $2,500, but

the campaign managed to raise $2,841 instead. “We had friends, family and strangers from across the globe contributing to our fundraiser, who received perks and screen-printed T-shirts and posters,” the couple said. “Without the help of these generous individuals, we would not have been able to reach our goal.” Following the fundraising campaign, Due West Press acquired numerous types of screen-printing equipment and is now producing work for local clients, including Hailey Skate Park, Northern Rockies Music Festival and Power House. Now established at the Woodside location, the couple said the plan seems to be coming together. “The plans called for a location that would accommodate our economical engine, the professional screen-printing workshop, as well as a public space for the creation of art. Housed in the industrial park in South Woodside, we have spread our wings and continue to fulfill our original ideas of giving back to the community,” the Fizpatricks said. “It is a feeling like none other,” they said. “How many of us ever dream of doing something we love? For us, it wasn’t a question of how we were going to succeed in our dreams, but when. After years of struggling to find our

places in this world, we’ve come to the realization that we have to build our dreams in order to see them become true. “Due West embodies the essence of countless collaborations,

innovations and trailblazers,” the couple said. “Though the process is screen printing, we’ve learned that there are hundreds of variables in life. Nothing is perfect. With making mistakes comes the

true learning process.” For more information visit www.DueWest.Press.com. The shop is located at 4150 Black Oak Dr., in Woodside.

Leslie Rego, “Autumn Trees”, nib pen and sumi ink, watercolor

Autumn Yellow

BY LESLIE REGO

meric, saffron, weld and rabbitbrush, to name a few. Yellow extracted from the common plant weld has been used since Neolithic times. Habitually, it was used to dye the commoner’s clothing, since it was easy to make huge dye baths and dye a lot of yardage. The rich deep yellow achieved from the saffron crocus was reserved for the upper classes. Each crocus yields just a few bright red stigmas from the female flower. Saffron dye was produced by drying these stigmas and then boiling a multitude of them to produce the vibrant saffron color. It would take hundreds of flowers to produce just a small amount of cloth. There are many different yellows – from light, lemony yellows to mustard yellows and deep ochres – but there are no dark yellows. If you add black to yellow, it turns to an olive green. Yellow as it deepens in nature becomes almost black, defying the laws of color mixing. And so these lovely autumn days, as I watch the leaves turn from green to bright yellow to ochre, I revel in this beautiful color, which adds so much brightness to life.

love all colors and certainly some more than others. Yellow is right up there holding court with a few of my favorites but, interestingly, yellow comes in at the bottom of liked colors and is preferred by only 5 percent of the Western world. I have always felt it is curious then that, come autumn, everyone is in love with the bright yellows on display on many aspen and cottonwood trees. Perhaps it is the sunshine, filtering through the leaves, that sets the color aglow and also sets our love aglow for yellow at this time of year. Or maybe it is the fact that this time of year is so fleeting and the color quickly disappears – jazzy for a short period of time but not needing to be soothing over the long haul. Or maybe it is the joyful feeling the color yellow gives us as we think of radiant hillsides. Yellow is associated with happiness and optimism, although it is also associated with cowardice, madness and betrayal. Yellow on the color wheel is between green and red and is the most luminous of the colors. It is quick to capture our attention. Yellow is the most prevalent color of flowers. It is Leslie Rego is an artist and also one of the easiest colors to Blaine County resident. To dye naturally.

arlier this year, Idaho made deadbeat headlines around the world when the state legislature managed to cut off $16 million in federal funds to help Idaho track those who owe child-support payments and deduct those payments from their paychecks. But, according to Representatives Heather Scott of Blanchard and Sheryl Nuxoll of Cottonwood, among others, accepting such federal funds would possibly subject Idaho to ‘Sharia Law.’ So they feared. So they thought. While it is probably impossible to untangle the knots of their fears and deadbeat thinking processes, the world press had a lot of fun reporting them. The Daily Beast referred to Idaho as a “Haven for Deadbeat Dads” and headlined a story about Republicans bickering with Republicans over the issue “GOP to GOP: ‘Sharia Law’ Fearmongering Helping Deadbeat Dads.” Liberals Unite News Magazine headlined “Idaho Takes A Stand Against Sharia Law (And Child Support Payments).” If Scott, Nuxoll and the Idaho Legislature were sincerely interested in deadbeat accountability, a mirror would suffice. But they’re not, as evidenced by the fact that Idaho’s entire enviCourtesy photo ronment and economy is severely impacted by Dick Dorworth is a Blaine County four of the largest, most resident, author and former world expensive deadbeats in record holder for speed on skis. western America living Visit his website and blog at dicknext door in Washing- dorworth.com. ton. They are far more worthy of taking a stand against than the obsessed fantasy of Sharia Law governing Idaho. The biggest of the four is 3,791 feet wide and 100 feet tall and goes by the name of Lower Monumental Dam. It is certainly monumental, a monumental deadbeat at the center (sic) of what Idaho Rivers United (IRU) terms “…one of the country’s biggest ongoing environmental boondoggles.” The other, slightly smaller deadbeat dams are known as Lower Granite, Little Goose and Ice Harbor. These and other deadbeat dams have turned the once vital, healthy Snake River into a putrid mix of canals and squalid reservoirs that cost taxpayers millions of dollars every year and, more significantly, have destroyed large swaths of Idaho’s environment and wildlife. Two hundred years ago between 5 and 8 million wild adult salmon returned each year from the Pacific Ocean to the Snake River. An estimated 25,000 to 35,000 sockeye salmon made it 900 miles and 6,500 vertical feet to Redfish Lake each year, giving the lake its name. Today, because of those deadbeat dams, every species of Snake River salmon is either extinct or on the endangered species list. There are years when no salmon make it to the lake, which took its name from them. Most fish that do make it to Redfish are hatchery-bred as part of an expensive, complicated Idaho Fish and Game program designed to avoid holding deadbeat dams accountable. One report justified this ongoing environmental boondoggle with “…it’s too risky to rely solely on nature to recover sockeye.” It’s a risk worth taking. Nature is reliable. Tear down the deadbeat dams and the sockeye and other salmon species will do just fine. They will return to Idaho and heal large parts of the environment, improve the economy and give the state legislature better things to grapple with than an irratiotws nal fear of Sharia Law.

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR ocTobeR 14 FRom picabo angleR

It is time to begin thinking about winter fishing in and around Sun Valley. This week we thought we’d take a minute to talk winter fishing and how to prepare for the “second season” here in southcentral Idaho. First, have your fly box packed with Midges. In fact, have three fly boxes – one for dries and one for nymphs – and also have a third fly box with your favorite Streamers in it. Your dry fly box should contain a plethora of Trailing Shuck Midges. It should also include a lot of Griffiths Gnats in a variety of sizes. These two flies should cover just about every dry-fly Midge situation you encounter this winter. Your nymph box can be a bit more diverse. The Zebra Midge has become a standard around Sun Valley. Have this fly in a variety of sizes and colors, including brown, black, green and red. Other important nymph choices include Hares Ears, Prince Nymphs, Zug Bugs, Girdle Bugs and Copper Johns, again in a variety of sizes and colors, including red, copper, black and green. Your Streamer box should contain a variety of Buggers, Zonkers, and your favorite Sculpin patterns. Have unweighted Streamers for Silver Creek, as well as large articulated Streamers. If you are fishing the Big Wood, having olive colors is a must to imitate the Wood River Sculpin, a favorite meal of Big Wood trout any time of the year. Your leaders and tippets should change very little for the winter months. You will want 5X and 6X for the Midge activity as well as 2X and 3X for most Streamer situations. If you don’t mind spending a little extra dough, get your Streamer leaders in fluorocarbon material. Other must-have items include Strike Indicators. We like the New Zealand Indicators in white. Also have good hemostats, fingerless gloves, some small weights, and oversized nippers for your cold fingers to handle! If you are going to spend a lot of time on the water this winter, pack a box with dry clothes, socks and shoes. Have this packed and let it live in your car for the rest for the season. The worst thing that can happen while winter fishing is falling in! Having dry clothes can literally be a lifesaver; not having them could mean hypothermia. Finally, have food, water, tire chains, a fully charged phone battery and tell someone where you are going fishing and stick to that plan! Be safe, have fun and enjoy our second season! Happy fishing, everyone!

THE SHEEPHERDERS’ BEAUTIFUL WHITE DOGS!

BY FRAN JEWELL

here is nothing much more majestic than seeing those huge white dogs in a flock of sheep up on an Idaho hillside. And, as puppies, they are so soft and sweet. Thus, many people find themselves longing for one of those big gorgeous dogs to call their own. When we bring a dog into our lives, it’s important to know what the breed was intended to do. The Great Pyrenees, or Akbash, used for helping the sheepherder, are livestock guardians. They lay quietly nearby, or within the band, watching all day for any danger to their flock. When they sense danger, the livestock guardian is capable of protecting sheep from formidable predators such as bears and wolves. It is important to understand that a livestock guardian takes this job very seriously. If the livestock guardian is a dog you intend to bring into your home, there are some essentials that you should be aware of. The first is training. What can be difficult is that this breed is very independent and will many times choose not to work for you, unlike many herding breeds such as border collies and Australian shepherds. Herding breeds are intended to look for direction from the sheepherder; livestock guardians are not. So training can be difficult for the novice dog owner. Teaching a livestock guardian to “come” is incredibly difficult, if not impossible, without great training knowledge. Obedience training is best done prior to maturity, when many instinctual behaviors kick in. Secondly, they need lots of space and more exercise than expected. They have a booming and frequent bark and dig all the time. Digging is a way for them to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter on the range.

Photo by Fran Jewell

The Great Pyrenees is a gorgeous working dog, capable of far more than we expect.

A sheepherder may move the flock many miles over the course of days, weeks and months. That means his dogs must be capable of hard physical work as well. If you do not have a large fencedin yard, your livestock guardian may begin guarding the entire neighborhood which, ultimately, could become dangerous for others as well as your guardian. Fenced yards should be secured so no one can enter unexpectedly. Remember, a livestock guardian is a GUARDIAN and is capable of serious protection. Be prepared and think ahead of time. This is not a friendly golden retriever that will instantly love everyone! The livestock guardian is a responsibility to

take seriously, not a casual pet. And, lastly, the livestock guardian that is expected to live in society, not out on the range, must be heavily socialized at a VERY YOUNG AGE with people AND other animals. This is not a dog that you wait until it is 16 weeks old to introduce new experiences to. Critical imprinting happens until puppies are 16 weeks old, so hard work and planned SAFE SOCIALIZATION events must take place before that time or it will be incredibly difficult to regain that critical exposure. Bringing a new dog into your life is always a decision that should be taken very seriously, with intent and foresight about

what that particular dog needs to live a happy life. Working dogs can be wonderful pets if their needs are addressed and you are honest with yourself about whether you can actually provide for those needs. We all know dogs can bring such joy to our lives, but we also need to be sure we can bring joy to their lives.

Boardwalk & Maple Leaves I went to the boardwalk pond at the Draper Preserve in Hailey on Friday and sat for about 20 minutes. It was algae infested, and there was virtually no water, no birds, no animals, one grasshopper, three flies, one fuzzy red-backed bumble bee buzzing 6 inches from my bare-skinned knee. Except for the wind blowing puffy cattail seeds in my face, it was heart-pain sadly silent. I then crossed the Bow Bridge, hung a northerly left at the arrow, and about 150 yards up the east bank of the Big Wood River, these maple leaves restored my artistic emotions.
