INTERN TO TWS

n Hailey, work is being done on sidewalks. The project, known as Pathways for People, is the result of a plan the City of Hailey made with its taxpayers two years ago. Under the direction of Heather Dawson, the Hailey city administrator, the idea of increasing safety via the installation of new sidewalk paths and the improvement of current bike paths was formulated. The idea was to start small, with a two-year plan, and deliver a product of connecting streets for residents in the Valley. Construction began this summer, and will continue into next summer.

Dawson has been transparent about the project from the beginning.

“Two years ago, we conceived of these projects and asked voters to fund them with a two-year tax levy increase of $800,000, with taxpayers paying $400,000 per year,” Dawson said, “After we received a ‘Yes’ vote, we applied for several grants and successfully increased the $800,000 by an additional $500,000 in federal grant funds.”

This means that Hailey residents will continue to pay the same amount in levies that they have been paying for the past two years, but instead of paying the Blaine County Recreation District levy, they will pay it to the City of Hailey. Following the successful vote, Dawson and the city launched into the design and engineering of these projects with specific goals and project priorities they wanted to complete.

“From the beginning, the goal was always to connect key streets and bike paths to make safer passage throughout Hailey,” Dawson said. “It’s a town that relies on the outdoors, and we wanted to make those outdoors safer.”

Along with the connection of sidewalks throughout town, there is also hope to implement projects adopted through the local Community Bike/Pedestrian Plan, and Hailey’s Capital Plan.

“Currently, we are working on Croy Street, which gives a good idea of what the rest of the project will look like,” Dawson said. “Second Avenue will be the next part of the project we take on and it will go all the way from Myrtle to Elm Street. In other words, it will go from the Wood River Middle School to Hailey Elementary.”

Connecting the bike paths and adding striping for separate lanes has been a large focus for the project because it is a high-traffic area for citizens of all ages, but, more specifically, school-age kids.

“A lot of young people travel the distance between the schools to neighborhoods or the main roads,” Dawson said. “We want to make their lives safer. If there are enough funds left over, there will be a path constructed going behind the ice rink to the skatepark so that kids don’t have to walk by the streets anymore.”

The connection of key streets throughout Hailey has been a work in progress for two years, with the intention of maximizing the safety of the town as well as the benefits of pedestrian citizens.

“This project will improve our town’s livability,” Dawson said. “A lively town is one in which people are out and about on foot and bicycles, enjoying their open spaces, and these street connections will simply improve vitality.” tws

MEDICAL STUDENT PROGRAM BRINGS IN NEW BLOOD

St. Luke’s Wood River participates in multistate education program

J

BY DANA DUGAN

osh Reddish plans on being a doctor and, in pursuit of his degree, is participating in a regional medical education program known as WWAMI, an acronym that takes the first letter from each participating state.

In the early 1970s, the University of Washington, in Seattle, began the program to train and prepare physicians in Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Today, WWAMI (it now also includes Wyoming) is considered one of the most innovative medical education and training programs in the country.

The goals of the program are to provide publicly supported medical education, increase the number of primary-care physicians in these states, and to provide community-based medical education.

The program was recognized by the Association of American Medical Colleges with the Outstanding Community Service Award and for the past 23 years has been identified as the nation’s top primary-care, family-medicine and rural-medicine training school by U.S. News & World Report.

A majority of the students training in the program choose to remain and practice medicine within the five-state region, and more than half Josh Reddish poses with his wife and daughter during choose careers in primary care, helping to stem the an off-duty moment.

Medicaid Expansion Officially Qualifies For November Ballot

The office of Secretary of State Lawrence Denney officially certified the petition signatures submitted by Idahoans for Healthcare to qualify Medicaid expansion as a ballot measure this November. If passed, expanding Medicaid will provide healthcare for the 62,000 Idahoans who fall into the state’s healthcare coverage gap.

More than 1,000 volunteers from across the state collected tens of thousands of signatures from Idahoans who support Medicaid expansion. Nearly 75,000 of those signatures were certified by county clerks, far surpassing the 56,192 signatures required. The signature collection effort also exceeded the geographic distribution requirements, meeting the threshold in 21 legislative districts instead of the required 18, and demonstrating the support for Medicaid expansion in both rural and urban areas.

“The official certification from the Secretary of State’s office confirms what we’ve known for a very long time: there is widespread support for Medicaid expansion throughout the state of Idaho,” said Jefferson Kemper, Idahoans for Healthcare campaign manager.

Led by campaign co-chairs Emily and Garrett Strizich and Rep. Christy Perry, the Idahoans for Healthcare campaign will move into the next phase to educate Idaho voters and drive supporters to the polls on Nov. 6.

he Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley will hold its annual Dog Days of Summer Benefit Gala at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 25, at Trail Creek Pavilion. The event will feature a silent and live auction, a birdhouse festival, and much more.

The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, the first “no-kill” shelter in Idaho, promotes companion animal welfare by providing temporary shelter for homeless animals, adopting them to qualified homes and reducing animal abuse, neglect and overpopulation through community education and spay/neuter services. The Animal Shelter is funded almost entirely by private donations and grants, and Dog Days is the nonprofit’s largest money-raising event.

“The Dog Days of Summer is a fun, relaxing, and philanthropic evening where Shelter supporters have the chance to bid on exciting auction items, sip on signature ‘Greyhound’ cocktails, watch the annual Pet Parade of adoptable dogs, and pledge to help support the Shelter’s operating costs,” said Bekka Mongeau, the Animal Shelter’s marketing coordinator. “This event brings in about a quarter of the Shelter’s annual operating budget. It’s a critical and sustaining event for the Shelter.”

The event will start with signature cocktails and a silent auction. After the silent auction closes, the crowd will be seated for dinner and can enjoy a Pet Parade featuring adoptable dogs.

Five to seven adoptable dogs will come to the benefit sporting costumes related to the live auc-

tion items that will be available to bid on later in the night. During the Pet Parade, the dogs get to walk on the gala stage while the auctioneer gives a description about both the dog and the auction item they are representing. In the past couple of years, two or three of the dogs have been adopted the next day.

The evening will wrap up with a paddle-up portion and the live auction.

“The ‘Marmaduke Society’ Giving Program paddle-up is one of the most inspiring pieces of the evening,” Mongeau said. “Supporters paddle-up to pledge donations that will go directly to the Shelter’s operating funds. Gifts range from $30,000 to $100. The generosity of the people in this community has allowed the Shelter to reach and grow to the new heights that we are at today in animal welfare.”

Items for auction include a luxurious week at a villa in Jamaica, a week on the Italian coast, a private party with comedian Mike Murphy, a private yacht cruise, and more.

“Funds raised at Dog Days all go to operating expenses, such as animal care; however, supporters have the chance to donate to specific causes during the evening as well, such as senior pets, community outreach and spay/neuter services,” said Mongeau.

Approximately 340 guests are slated to be in attendance for this sold-out event, but there is a wait list. If you want to be added to the wait list, contact the Shelter at (208) 788-4351, extension 207.

AUTHOR TO READ FROM ‘CONFLUENCE’

Valley-based artist and activist will discuss her book at library

BY DANA DUGAN

K

etchum resident Kerrin McCall will read from and discuss her book “Confluence,” in the newly renovated Lecture Hall at The Community Library in Ketchum, 6 p.m., Tuesday, July 24. A question-and-answer period, and a book signing, will follow the reading. In accordance, there will be photographs of the Idaho landscape in the foyer of the Lecture Hall by photographers Sheri Lenhart and Carl Wetzler.

“Confluence” was written between 2015-2016 and released in 2017.

“It was an idea I had a long time ago,” said McCall.

“Years ago, my grandmother gave me Hal Borland’s book, ‘Twelve Moons of the Year.’”

Borland’s classic book is a full year’s worth of the brief essays written by the late, admired nature writer, which affected and stayed with McCall through the years.

During years of environmental upheavals, McCall admittedly felt uninspired, but then had a revelation about even these aspects.

“I thought everything is changing because of climate change,” she said. “It’s a good reason to have a chronicle of how things are now.”

Usually considered a visual artist, McCall was drawn

to the subject matter.

“It’s [writing] something I always thought of doing,” she said. “It was a really wonderful experience.”

McCall said there are three themes in the tome.

“I’ve written about the progressions of the seasons, month by month, in the Idaho mountains,” she said. “The first theme is my observations and perceptions of the natural world that surround us.

“The second theme is how our semi-urban mountain town merges and collides with that space; the third is how we communicate with nature. We’re always in constant communication through our senses, but there’s a level of communication that happens below that that’s energetic.”

McCall hopes the book will engage people in a conversation about exactly these interactions.

“As a naturalist, environmentalist, activist, and advocate of the natural world, I feel this is one vehicle that can engage conversation with others.”

Since the book was published last year, people have told McCall that they are seeing their surroundings in a different way.

“We are part of nature and the more we recognize those connections, the more we feel responsible for what’s around us,” she said. “It’s for residents and visi-

“Confluence” is available in area bookstores, and at NourishMe, Atkinsons’ Market, Silver Creek Outfitters and Sun Valley Signatures & Gift Shop. tws

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Paulette Jordan, a former Idaho state senator, spoke to members of the Wood River community Monday evening at a private home in Gimlet. With her are Diane and John Peavey, the latter Jordan’s campaign treasurer who served in the Idaho Senate from 1969 to 1976 and from 1978 to 1994. The Peaveys are ranchers near Carey. In 1974, after repeated attempts to pass a Sunshine Law—a law requiring lobbyists to register and political campaign disclosure—in the Legislature were unsuccessful, Peavey led a successful statewide campaign to pass one by ballot initiative. Jordan, a member of the Coeur d’Alene tribe, will be the first Native American governor of a U.S. state, if she wins in November. Photo by Dana DuGan

New Flights Announced By Fly Sun Valley Alliance

Fly Sun Valley Alliance, in partnership with Sun Valley Resort, recently announced the Friedman Memorial Airport airline flight schedule for the upcoming 2018-2019 fall and winter seasons.

United Airlines will provide nonstop service to Sun Valley from a fourth major United hub city with the launch of its daily E175 regional jet nonstop flights from Los Angeles this winter. The new Los Angeles service, along with Denver and San Francisco service, will run daily Dec. 19 to March 30. United will also operate weekly Saturday nonstop flights from Chicago throughout most of the winter.

Delta Airlines will also operate a daily nonstop flight from Los Angeles from Dec. 20 through Jan. 2, as well as on Saturdays during the winter season from Jan. 5 to March 30.

“This is one of the strongest flight schedules yet for our community and it will provide a big boost in convenience and easy access,” said Carol Waller, director of Fly Sun Valley Alliance.

Waller noted that FSVA will no longer contract with Alaska Airlines for nonstop Portland service, which operated two days a week during the summer and winter seasons for the past two years, due to low demand, but that Portland travelers would still have easy connections via the Seattle flight.

FSVA’s air service development program is funded through both public and private investment.

Most flights are available now for booking and the 2018-2019 winter flight schedule is available at flysunvalleyalliance.com.

Alasdair Neal Appointed Next Music Director Of New Haven Symphony Orchestra

Alasdair Neale has been appointed the new music director of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, in Connecticut, beginning with its 2019-2020 season. The New Haven Symphony’s schedule is a perfect fit for Neale, allowing him to continue his duties as music director of both the Sun Valley Summer Symphony and the Marin Symphony, without interruption.

“I’m eagerly awaiting the opportunity to make music with the phenomenal musicians of the orchestra and to serve the New Haven community,” says Neale. “While my life is undoubtedly going to get even busier in the future, my commitment to my current positions in Sun Valley and Marin will remain as robust as ever. I’ll be establishing a second residence in New Haven, dividing my time between the East and West Coast, as well as the visits to Sun Valley during the year.”

Historically, the New Haven Symphony Orchestra has close ties to Yale University. Neale, a Yale graduate, takes on the role following current music director William Boughton, whose 12-year tenure ends next May. The New Haven Symphony Orchestra began its search for a new music director in the fall of 2015.

More than 150 applicants from all over the world were considered.

Founded in 1894, the New Haven Symphony Orchestra is the fourth oldest orchestra in the United States.

Its main performance venue, Woolsey Hall, is located on the campus of Yale University. Orchestra performances emphasize American composers and works commissioned by the organization. In addition, the New Haven Symphony Orchestra offers year-round education programs, admission-free Young Peoples Concerts and Family Concert Series performances across the state of Connecticut.

Theft Suspect Arrested

On Tuesday, July 10, at 12 p.m., deputies with the Ketchum Police Division of the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to Silver Creek Outfitters regarding a possible theft suspect on the premises who employees recognized from a June 16 visit.

Robert K. Dombrowski, 61, of Tonawanda, N.Y., was identified as a person of interest in a theft incident from that day.

Upon further investigation, two fly-fishing rods were located in Dombrowski’s camp trailer near the Murdock Creek drainage north of Ketchum. One fly rod, valued at $850, was allegedly stolen from Silver Creek Outfitters. The other fly rod, valued at $795, was reportedly taken from Lost River Outfitters, in Ketchum.

Dombrowksi was arrested for felony grand theft and is being held in the Blaine county Detention Center on a $5,000 bond.

Bellevue Man Arrested For Firing Gun At Neighbor

On Sunday, July 8, Blaine County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a residence for a report of shots fired at 69 Schoessler Lane, south of Bellevue, at approximately 1:14 p.m. Bellevue resident Lance Lawson, 36, told deputies that Kent C. Maestas, 65, of Bellevue, had allegedly pointed a handgun at him and fired two to three shots.

Allegedly, Maestas and Lawson were involved in a physical altercation the night before and were continuing to have a property dispute over trailers parked on the property line. Maestas and Lawson know one another, and from the investigation it was determined that this incident occurred at Maestas’s residence. Maestas was arrested for aggravated assault, a felony, without incident. A Ruger Security .357 Magnum was recovered and is believed to be the weapon involved. Maestas was booked into the Blaine County Detention Center and released on a $10,000 bond after arraignment. Lawson was not hit by any gunfire.

ITD And Idaho State Police Lower Speed Limit On Stretch Of I-84

The Idaho Transportation Department and Idaho State Police will lower the speed limit to 65 mph July 14 on a stretch of Interstate 84 within an active construction zone east of Twin Falls. The reduction is being made to maximize the safety of drivers traveling through the area.

ITD south-central Idaho traffic engineer Bruce Christensen stated, “Speeds are an important factor in any traffic control plan, but motorists putting away distractions and paying attention to the roadway is paramount in keeping our roadways safe.

“The posted speed limit is a maximum during ideal conditions—it is not meant to replace a driver’s good judgment,” Christensen added.

Work-zone speed limits are determined in accordance with federal guidelines set by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Additional factors taken into account when determining speed limits are physical barriers like sight restrictions or curve radiuses, and observed traffic flow.

“We are seeing problems related to impatience and inattentiveness when drivers enter a work zone,” said Lt. Robert Rausch, a deputy district commander with ISP. “Motorists are oftentimes driving too aggressively for the area and not affording themselves enough space to safely react to changes in traffic flow.”

THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JULY 18 - 24, FROM PICABO ANGLER

F

abulous fishing is the norm right now, but anglers should be adjusting their fishing times. A lot of anglers have been showing up at Silver Creek midmorning and wondering why they aren’t seeing stronger hatches… chances are they are just too late. The earlier the better right now and that also means the later the better, as well.

There is afternoon fishing to be had out there, but plan on Nymphing and Terrestrial fishing if you want to tempt the fish in the heat of the day. The best hatches are early and late, and the Rusty Spinner is now among the best flies you can carry in your fly box. This dead or dying imitation of most mayflies is deadly when we move into the heat of summer. Just fish it in the appropriate size to match the mayflies you are seeing at any given time.

The Big Wood is fishing really well, although with a slight drop in the action as the Green Drake has waned. Expect the Wood to continue to fish well, although the early/late game is going to become more and more important here as the water drops.

Dave’s Hopper is a great midday choice, as are small Stimulators, Parachute Adams, Irresistible Adams and Cicadas. Early and late, fish the small flies like the Rusty Spinner or Baetis Sparkle Dun. The Creek is fishing well with the arrival of the Trico Spinner Falls. The Baetis also continue to show up daily. Anglers can normally find these bugs from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. There is a Baetis return in the evening, as well.

The midday is all about Damselflies, Baby Hoppers, Ants and Beetles. Fish these near the banks and the weed beds.

The Upper Lost River is fishing, but can be day to day.

Reports have been everything from fabulous fishing to head scratching on days the fish are hard to find. Generally, when we find this condition on the Upper Lost system, it means the fishery has also become a low-light fishery. This is not normal at current volumes, but neither is the extreme heat we have had for weeks on end now.

The Lower Lost is still running high. There may be spotty fishing at spotty access if you’re in the neighborhood. Be able to drop Nymphs to the bottom quickly if you head to the Mackay area.

The South Fork of the Boise continues to have decent fishing with Salmonflies and Cicadas.

Happy fishing, everyone!

oday, with the adoption of so many mixed breeds, it is my opinion that knowing the dog’s background, or ancestry, is an important part of understanding their behaviors. Some behaviors are hardwired for most breeds. What we may think is aggression, fear, etc., may in fact be related to the breed of the dog.

When we hold all dogs to a standard of behavior—as an example, the golden retriever—we get ourselves into trouble. Not all dogs behave like goldens or Labradors, with friendly, outgoing and confident behavior.

Some dogs are, by nature, more reserved.

As an example, I have German shepherds.

The standard for a German shepherd is to be aloof to strangers. That does not mean that an aloof shepherd has a character flaw that needs fixing. Instead, it means we must understand the breed to understand many of the dog’s behaviors.

So, when we adopt a mixed-breed dog, I personally am a huge proponent of doing genetic testing. While some of these tests are more accurate than others, it still gives us some basis for researching the breed to know what the characteristics could be.

As an example, terriers are bred to be tenacious and have huge prey drive. That means that terriers (or terrier mixes) are more predisposed to barking at fast-moving objects and are more likely to “spar” with another dog, given the opportunity. They can be very courageous—and incredibly smart!

This is not to say one dog breed is better than another, but helping to know what

breeds may be in a mix helps us to understand the underlying behaviors that we may feel are inappropriate or causing us a lot of confusion or frustration.

It is also important to understand that many hardwired breed characteristics cannot be changed, or can only be altered slightly. This can also help us make choices about dogs we want to come into our lives for 15 years! Are we ready for the tenacity, which can bring along dog-reactive behavior of a terrier? Are we ready for a dog whose nose is always on the ground and its ears are turned off?

Selecting a dog based on looks is not always the best idea when it is a long-term commitment to have this dog in your house and in your life for a very long time. I have a friend whose tiny, hairy dog was actually part greyhound!!! What a lovely little guy he is. But, by the looks, you would NEVER guess he had greyhound in him. A lot of the greyhound qualities give this guy such a sweet personality.

Research the breeds you like, then look for a dog whose traits seem to fit those criteria.

Take your time and find a dog that fits for YOU, so both of you can be happy for all those years!

MY HIKE TO UPPER NORTON LAKE

BY LESLIE REGO

. Hamilton Gibson writes in his book “Sharp Eyes,” “There are degrees of sharpness of vision even as there are degrees of blindness. An eye may be ‘sharp’ for birds but blind to botany; keen for Indian arrowheads and dull to entomology, but never omniscient; or, as Thoreau figuratively but forcibly puts it, ‘a man absorbed in the study of grasses tramples down oaks unwittingly in his walks.’”

I feel I have always been “sharp” for trees and flowers, for both their big shapes and their small intricacies, but birds have eluded me. I find it difficult to pick out the details I need to be able to make an identification.

Even though butterflies are constantly on the move, I find them easier.

My favorite lake on the Norton Lake Loop is Upper Norton Lake, especially this time of year when the shores are abloom with mountain heather and shooting star. Both flowers grow right along the edge of the lake. Mountain heather is low, growing just a bit above the level of the water. The spikiness of the plant is a nice contrast to the ripples on the lake. Shooting star is taller. It is easy to see the flower with the water as a backdrop. As I was watching the petals quiver in the wind, I was struck by how similar they are to the aqueous undulations; the swirls of the petals matched the wavelets. I have seen shooting star many times along the shores of a lake, but I have always been “blind” to this detail.

I sat to eat my lunch and heard a rustle in the near trees. I turned my head and to my astonishment I saw a bald eagle take flight not 30 feet from me! I will admit that my eyes have been “sharp” toward botany, but it would have been impossible to be “blind” to

oil- and airborne diseases cause serious problems for Idaho farmers each season. Parma Research and Extension Center-based plant pathologist James Woodhall is developing new technology to help keep crops safe.

“There has been a lot of interest—more than I ever expected,” he said. “It’s advanced very quickly with funding and direct support from the industry.”

To address soil-borne diseases, Woodhall is using sophisticated soil DNA testing technology that offers rapid diagnoses of problems.

In onions, pink root can cause extensive damage, reducing yields by up to 40 percent in severe outbreaks.

Potatoes are affected by many soil-borne diseases, including black dot, powdery scab, Rhizoctonia, Pythium leak, pink rot and Verticillium. Some destroy tubers in the field, some in storage.

New air and soil testing methods can inform growers when to apply pesticides to prevent diseases causing serious damage. This can reduce the number of applications because growers are treating only when a pathogen is known to be present.

Tests can detect the pathogen before disease symptoms appear, allowing earlier and more effective pesticide applications.

The use of new detection technology makes possible rapid and relatively inexpensive tests that yield specific, accurate results.

Woodhall’s lab typically processes soil samples of 250 grams, about 9 ounces, helping farmers test multiple locations in fields to identify hot

spots.

With soil-borne diseases, the damage typically occurs below ground, “out of sight, out of mind,” Woodhall said.

With airborne diseases, growers usually can spot problems as they begin to develop as symptoms appear on leaves.

To help growers combat airborne fungal diseases spread by spores, Woodhall and colleagues are testing air samplers across Idaho.

The air sampling helps growers anticipate problems before they occur by tracking the abundance of spores. Increasing spore levels provide a powerful early warning.

More work remains, he said, but spore abundance in air samples may provide an accurate indication of when growers should act.

COLUMN SCIENCE OF PLACE

THE COLORS OF THE BLOOMS

W

BY HANNES THUM

hy are the scarlet gilia flowers red? Why is the lupine purple (or yellow)? Why is the sky blue?

Color is something that is easy to take for granted. We live on a planet with plenty of it and we can create it when we need to. We are visual creatures and color is the primary way in which we understand the world around us.

Most light sources, such as the sun in the sky, headlights on your car, and the lightbulbs in your home, produce white light (more or less). Every lightbulb is different and even sunlight has its quirks—but, for the most part, most light in our world starts out white.

What’s neat is that so-called “white” light contains all of the color spectrum within it. White light sources like sunlight are producing the whole range of color that we see in rainbows (our old pal Roy G. Biv). When all of the colors travel together and hit our eyes together, the result is what we call white light.

All it takes for us to start to see different things as different colors is for some object in front of you to break down that white, blended light into its individual wavelengths. You can split up that light with water drops (like a rainbow) or with a prism (like Issac Newton or Pink Floyd did). Or, more to the point, you can break up that light by bouncing it off of the surface of things in your environment, such as a wildflower.

So, if white light from the sun in the sky hits a blade of grass, the grass looks green because the teeny tiny internal structure of the grass tends to reflect green and to absorb the other colors. A red wildflower, such as the beautiful (but taxonomically confusing, by the way) scarlet gilia that stands out in the green meadows right now as bright as neon signs in Vegas, is red because when all of the colors in the white sunlight hit it, the flower petals reflect the red and absorb the rest of the wavelengths. The blue flax flowers in our Valley reflect the blue and absorb the rest.

Light can shine and bounce and reflect and absorb all it wants to and it will tend to follow the rules of physics and chemistry as it does so. But, the final step to the true definition of color is that

some living creature needs to be there to see and interpret the way the light falls across the landscape. An eyeball needs to capture the light to actually create the experience of color.

All of this said, on gorgeous summer days like we have this week, most of us will be too busy enjoying the product of all of this light and color to worry much about how exactly it works—which is the way it should be.

SEBASTIAN ZAVALA Student looks to the future

BY BAILEY RIERDEN

INTERN TO TWS

orn and raised in the Wood River Valley, Sebastian Zavala is involved in various sports, and with academic opportunities and family matters. A large portion of his time is devoted to Wood River High School’s cross-country and track teams.

“I love both of them because I love running and competing against others,” Zavala said.

“My greatest memory as a high school student is maybe when I won the ‘most inspirational’ cross-country runner of the year.”

Zavala, who has a 2.8 GPA, will be a senior this upcoming fall, and has a passion for U.S. history. As he looks to the future, he sees himself in a leadership role, such as coaching, because of his current work with the Blaine County Recreation District summer camp, as well as his love for sports, like running and basketball.

“I want to go to college and play a sport, coach, or go into a culinary program,” Zavala said.

“I really don’t care what college

I go to, but I would love to go to the College of Southern Idaho or Boise State. I’m not sure what I’ll do in the future, but I do see myself working as a coach.”

Zavala’s family is a priority for him, and he has two siblings—a brother, Jonathan Zavala, 12, and a sister, Desiree Zavala, 6. However, a majority of Zavala’s motivation and drive comes from his two biggest inspirations, his parents.

“Two people that inspire me are my parents, Rosa and Rigoberto Zavala, because they always work hard for everything,” Zavala said. “My mom tore her meniscus last year, and even though it hurts, she always pushes through it and tries her best to get better every day. My dad has always been a hardworking guy, and when my siblings and I want something, he works even harder to get it for us.” tws Editor’s Note: Anyone who would like to recommend a Blaine County School District student for The Weekly Sun’s “Student Spotlight” feature should contact Emilee Struss at emilee.struss@gmail.com.

OWNING MAKES MORE SENSE W

hen comparing the cost of owning a home to renting, there is more than the difference in house payment against the rent currently being paid. It very well could be lower than the rent, but when you consider the other benefits, owning could be much lower than renting.

Each mortgage payment has an amount that is used to pay down the principal, which is building equity for the owner. Similarly, the home appreciates over time, which also benefits the owner by increasing their equity.

There are additional expenses for owning a home that renters don’t have, like repairs and possibly a homeowners’ association.

To get a clear picture, look at the following example of a $300,000 home with a 3.5 percent down payment on a 4.5 percent, 30-year mortgage.

• Total Monthly Payment (PITI + MIP): $2,263.68 • Less Monthly Principal Reduction: $396 • Less Monthly Appreciation: $750 • Plus Estimated Monthly Maintenance: $100 • Plus Homeowners’ Association: $25 • Net Cost Of Housing: $1,217.67

The total payment is $2,264, including principal, interest, property taxes, property and mortgage insurance. However, when you consider the monthly principal reduction, appreciation, maintenance and HOA, the net cost of housing is $1,218. It costs $1,282 more to rent at $2,500 a month than to own. In a year’s time, it would cost $15,000 more to rent than to own, which is more than the down payment and closing costs to buy the home.

With normal amortization and 3 percent annual appreciation, the $10,500 down payment in this example turns into $112,000 in equity in seven years. Check out your own numbers using the Rent vs. Own calculator (tinyurl.com/tws-rentvsown) or call me at (208) 309-1329.

This year, the conference will take place from Saturday, July 21, to Tuesday, July 24.

“We often liken SVWC to a four-day literary house party that takes place in Sun Valley, a gorgeous Western resort nestled under the snow-capped Rocky Mountains,” Carrie Lightner, SVWC operations manager, said. “The mission of the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference is to invite readers and writers into a realm of intellectual intimacy.

In an annual program, anchored by recognized writers of fiction and nonfiction, readers and writers come together as a community to be educated, enlightened, challenged and inspired.”

SVWC will welcome more than 30 presenters and some 1,200 attendees.

“We have a dedicated and gifted literary committee and they work year-round on inviting presenters and putting together our amazing program,” Lightner said.

Featured presenters for 2018 include Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Thomas L. Friedman, acclaimed CNN host Fareed Zakaria, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Adam Johnson and 2009 MacArthur Fellow Edwidge Danticat. The young novelist Karan Mahajan will meet with a group of Wood River Valley high school students, who have also been invited to attend his breakout session, a fiction panel with three other authors.

Also part of the program is the SVWC Eye on the Future Scholarship, awarded annually to a Wood River Valley-based high school student who demonstrates academic excellence and a true love of learning, along with a desire to share his or her

“Our theme for this year is ‘Writing the World’ and we have gathered a group of presenters with varying backgrounds and influences to regale us with their stories and insights,” Lightner said. “Edwidge Danticat will discuss her latest memoir, ‘The Art of Death’; Gene Luen Yang will talk about the process and cultural history behind his popular series of graphic novels; and Souad Mekhennet will speak about her experience interviewing members of the Islamic State behind the lines of Jihad.”

As part of SVWC, members of the community can enjoy a series of four free talks on the Sun Valley Pavilion lawn.

From 4-5 p.m. Sunday, July 22, award-winning architect Jeanne Gang and former U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary Shaun Donovan will discuss their work to revitalize cities and rebuild communities in a talk called “Creating Beauty, Revitalizing Cities.”

From 5:30-6:30 p.m., celebrated British-American journalist and author Simon Winchester will share tales of his adventures.

“Simon Winchester has been to SVWC before and is always a charming and entertaining presenter,” Lightner said.

On Monday, July 23, from 4-5 p.m., The Improvised Shakespeare Company will perform a fully improvised Shakespearean-type show based on the suggestions of audience members in a presentation titled “Shakespeare As You’ve Never Seen Him.” Lightner said the group, which hails from Chicago, will provide some “fun and comic relief.”

From 5:30-6:30 p.m., Fareed Zakaria, author, editor, columnist and host of CNN’s flagship international affairs program, “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” will give a talk titled “How Did This Happen? The Roots of the Populist Rebellion.”

No advance reservations or tickets are required for Lawn Talks this year. Gates will open for access 30 minutes prior to the first Lawn Talk each day.

Periodontal Disease

Q. My dentist told me I have gingivitis. My gums don’t hurt.

I just get some bleeding when I brush and floss my teeth. Do I really need treatment?

A. We all know that early detection and treatment of any medical or dental problem is just common sense. Untreated gingivitis will likely progress to periodontitis. Though gingivitis is generally reversible with conservative treatment by the dental hygienist, once bone loss has occurred, the challenges are much greater.

We determine the severity of your periodontal status by a thorough periodontal examination, which includes measuring the crevice between the gum and tooth. We term any measurement over 3 millimeters a pocket. It is the depth and number of pockets, plus bleeding points, gum recession, and tooth mobility, that indicate the severity of disease. In addition, X-ray and visual examination go together to enable us to make a diagnosis and customize a treatment plan to get the disease process under control.

There are numerous risk factors that contribute to peri-

odontal disease: poor oral hygiene, sugary and acidic foods and drinks, smoking and chewing tobacco, type I or II diabetes, and some medications.

If you have any questions about the health of your gums or any other dental problem, contact our office for a complimentary consultation.

SPONSORED HEALTH BEAT

SALUT! TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

BY BRIAN S. BERK, M.D. ST LUKE’S HEALTH SYSTEM BOARD-CERTIFIED IN GASTROENTEROLOGY AND TRANSPLANT HEPATOLOGY

I

t’s Wine Auction weekend. Perhaps you should uncork some wine?

Is wine really good for your heart? Moderate drinking, often defined as one 5-oz. drink for women and two for men, is generally thought to be healthy.

Wine, and especially red wine, has been studied extensively.

Perhaps you have conducted your own research! Evidence suggests that moderate consumption may help people live longer, protect against certain cancers, improve mental health, and enhance heart health.

Monks were thought to live particularly long lives due to the consumption of red wine.

Recent studies back this up due to the presence of resveratrol, which may offer various health benefits.

Resveratrol may boost heart health, protect against some kinds of cancer, and prevent some types of vision loss. Resveratrol is a compound that some plants produce to fight off bacteria and fungi, and to protect against ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Resveratrol is an antioxidant that helps prevent damage to blood vessels, reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol) and prevents blood clots. Some research shows that resveratrol could be linked to a lower risk of inflammation and blood clotting, which can lead to heart disease. But other studies found no benefits from resveratrol in preventing heart

disease.

The resveratrol in wine comes from the skins of red grapes. Blueberries, cranberries, and peanuts are also sources of resveratrol. Resveratrol supplements also are available. Researchers haven’t found any harm in taking resveratrol supplements. But your body can’t absorb most of the resveratrol in the supplements.

Grapes and berries are a better source of resveratrol than red wine, so eating these is likely to be more healthful than drinking wine. Besides, it is commonly believed that the quantity of resveratrol needed to make an impact would require hundreds of glasses.

While that may sound like a good idea to some, drinking more than the recommended moderate amount per day may come with considerable health risks.

It is not recommended that you start drinking to benefit your health! Alcohol can be addictive and can cause or worsen other health problems.

Talk to your doctor about specific recommendations for you. If you need help finding a doctor, call the Center for Community Health at (208) 727-8733 or visit stlukesonline. org.

It’s your life.

We help you live it.

NEWS IN BRIEF explore other destinations that appeal to members.

Embark Aviation Acquires Sun Valley Air Club Embark Aviation, an airline management and strategy firm, announced that it has created a new, wholly owned subsidiary, Embark Air Club, Inc., and acquired Sun Valley Air Club and Telluride Air Club. These two air clubs have specialized in providing dedicated, private aviation services to both Sun Valley and Telluride, Colo., from a wide range of Western gateways, including Seattle; LA/Orange County, Calif.; Oakland; Dallas; and Denver. Mountain Aviation will continue to operate air club flights.

Tim Sieber will serve as managing director and Stephanie Rice will serve as director, member relations. Sieber has over 25 years of leadership experience with regional and start-up airlines, and as a consultant with extensive engagements in business and general aviation.

Rice has more than 30 years in the marketing and hospitality industry with over a decade working in private jet charter aviation in Florida, the Northeast and Sun Valley.

Embark Air Club will build on the success of the clubs as a private jet aviation experience.

It plans to unveil a new, consolidated brand and other service enhancements that will set the stage for growth. Today, members can fly to either Sun Valley or Telluride on a fixed cost per trip, or ‘ride share’ with multiple members, at a fraction of the cost of a traditional private charter. Embark Air Club plans to expand service options to both Sun Valley and Telluride and

“We intend to grow the club by offering this unique product in additional to resort destinations while also working to enhance the current member experience,” Sieber said.

All flights are operated by Mountain Aviation, based in Broomfield, Colo., an ARG/US Platinum operator with over 25 years of experience and a fleet of 20 planes. For more information, visit sunvalleyairclub.com.
