KETCHUM BANS GAS STATIONS ON MAIN STREET

A

BY DANA DUGAN

fter a lengthy process regarding a proposed fueling station on Ketchum’s North Main Street, the Ketchum Planning and Zoning Commission came up with its own amendment to an existing zoning ordinance.

Last Monday, July 3, Ketchum City Council voted unanimously to approve a text amendment banning gas stations from its Main Street.

“This ordinance is about examining how we maintain ‘the visual quality of community and downtown entryways,’ as well as creating ‘great public spaces and streetscapes,’ values expressed in our Comprehensive Plan,” said Nina Jonas, mayor of Ketchum.

This development follows closely on a proposal by Roy Bracken and RRJ/Penguin to build a gas station at 911 North Main Street, where the Northwood Center is now located.

In December 2016, the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission denied an

application for a conditional-use permit for the Bracken station after seven months of hearings, studies on traffic patterns and comments from the public.

Studies showed safety concerns regarding traffic and pedestrian activity at the intersection of Tenth Street and Main Street— already a dangerous junction— should the Bracken station be built. Recently, the applicants appealed the decision and had a hearing in front of the Planning and Building Department.

Public comments were overwhelmingly against the idea of a gas station at the north gateway to the city.

To avoid similar applications in the future, the city’s Planning and Building Department in April drafted a text amendment to the city’s zoning regulations ordinance.

The ban motor vehicle fueling stations on Main Street is effective immediately. tws

At approximately 11:30 a.m. Monday, July 10, deputies from the Ketchum Police Division and Blaine County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a motor vehicle-versus-pedestrian crash at the intersection of 5th Street and Washington Avenue in Ketchum.

As a result of an investigation at the scene, officers determined the pedestrian, Betty A. Urbany, 58, of Bellevue, was walking north in the crosswalk at the intersection of 5th Street and Washington Avenue from the southeast corner. Urbany was midway to the northeast corner of the crosswalk when she was struck by a landscaping truck. The truck was turning east onto 5th Street from the southbound lane of Washington Avenue.

“Town is extremely full right now,” said Dave Kassner, chief of the Ketchum Police Division of the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office. “Both pedestrians and drivers need to be extra alert to avoid collisions.”

The landscaping truck was driven by Jose Rangel Ponce, age 21, of Hailey. Rangel Ponce was cited for Failure to Yield to a Pedestrian in a Crosswalk. A Ketchum Fire Department ambulance transported Urbany to St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center with serious injuries. She was then air-flighted to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, where she is listed in serious condition.

Sun Valley Forum Addresses Financial Resiliency

T

BY DANA DUGAN

he Sun Valley Forum, founded and led by Aimée Christensen, took over the Limelight Hotel’s lecture rooms last week with talks that highlighted the need for (and the benefits of) impact investing to create resilient prosperity.

The talks and breakout sessions ranged from subjects such as Inspiring Innovators, Finding Purpose in Corporate America and Building Community to the grid resiliency and innovation, and improving healthcare and entrepreneurship in the rural West.

Coming on the heels of Aspen’s Ideas conference, the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference and preceding the Allen & Co. annual conference of business leaders at Sun Valley, these are heady days in the Northern Rockies.

Each of these conferences delves into a separate but often overlapping aspect of creating inspiration, resiliency, opportunity and idea sharing.

One talk, “The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities and the Remaking of the Modern World,” with writer Jeff Godell, while relevant globally, was an interesting take to hear in Idaho, an arid mountain state continually in a drought.

In a talk given by journalist Rocky Barker of the Idaho

Statesman, “Human Need for the Wild: Salmon, Climate and the Demise—or Return?—of an Icon,” Barker posed the question: “Can we re-wild our world?”

Dr. Phillip Landrigan, dean for Global Health at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, spoke about the crisis of health in the rural West where access to clinics, hospitals and doctors is limited.

“There is such social disparity,” Landrigan said.

“How do you get health equity when the things that count most are poverty, housing, living and working conditions?”

He added that the government should address the flaws in the Affordable Care Act but that to repeal it would leave too many Westerners without options.

“We don’t integrate health into the common conversation,” Landrigan said.

Since fresh local food and the preponderance of ‘food deserts’ are so closely aligned with health, Landrigan and speaker Jonathon Webb, who followed Landrigan on Friday, spoke of the need to address this inequality.

Webb, who has worked in the solar industry for 10 years in New York and Washington, D.C., said inequality and employment were his impetus to found AppHarvest in his native Kentucky. On top of a defunct, filled-in mine in

Appalachia, Webb’s company will build a huge greenhouse to feed residents in Kentucky and neighboring states, while bringing sustainability and jobs to former coal towns.

“Kentucky has no sustainable jobs,” Webb said. “The war on coal is a war on a rock. I was in Pikeville and met with miners and coal people. We need to get brilliant minds like you to come to solutions quickly. We want to rebuild in the heart of coal country but it’s difficult. We need an environmental community there. We’re working with the sustainable agriculture program at the University of Kentucky.

So, how do we work together, stop the language war on coal, and reimagine it being better?”

Echoing the need to address areas where the sustainable movement has been bypassed, Sam Polk, a former hedge fund executive, started a group in the greater Los Angeles area in 2013 called Groceryships, to build support groups for families in these ‘food deserts.’ From that, Polk founded Everytable in which chefs create fresh, healthy meals at one central kitchen. The same affordable meals are sold at stores in underserved areas as well as in affluent areas. The affluent stores charge about $3 more per meal, thus subsidizing the underserved areas. There are now four Everytable stores in L.A., with more planned.

Idaho Rep. Paulette Jordan

was part of a panel discussion on Energy Opportunities for Native American Tribes, with Michael Healey of 8Minuteenergy; Raina Thiele of Thiele Strategies; Tim Willink, the director of Tribal Programs, for Grid Alternatives, a nonprofit based in Denver; and Daryn Dodson, the managing director of Illumen Capital.

The California tribes are invested in continuing with solar installation, and Grid Alternatives is at the forefront across the West.

It’s completed about “550 installs for Native American families with about 100 average a year through its regional offices,” Willink said.

Grid’s mission is “People.

Planet. Employment.”

“The tribes want to see more opportunity from the federal government,” Jordan said.

“But we face a conflict. There has to be balance. Tribes are so rural and trust goes both ways in financing and value systems. There are 566 tribes in the nation and almost half are involved in gaming. They want to collaborate with these sources of revenue.

“So what are the opportunities for those who want to invest in Indian communities?” Jordan continued. “We’re about longterm shift from a cultural perspective.”

These are the kinds of companies that are hoping to attract investors looking to make

an impact with their money.

Many more representatives of financing firms who focus on impact investing spoke, including Ketchum-based Michael George of Accord Capital, Bill Stoddard of HomeStake and Kristine Hull of Nia Global Solutions.

Hull promotes inclusion and diversity in leadership, and is interested in re-envisioning capitalism.

“The world is not 100 percent male run,” Hull said. “I wanted to invest in the world I live in.”

JONAS LOOKS TO MAKE THINGS BETTER

BY DANA DUGAN

L

ast week, Ketchum Mayor Nina Jonas, city finance director Grant Gager and city administrator Suzanne Frick released the proposed 2017-2018 Fiscal Year Budget for the City of Ketchum.

Jonas began the proposal with the question: “How can we make things better?”

At approximately $24.3 million, Ketchum’s is the highest budget for any city in Blaine County. It includes a $10,951,010 general fund to support city operations and $10,184,900 to support restricted funds, such as water and wastewater. But it’s also slightly lower than the previous year’s outlays. Some positions were consolidated or eliminated; there is a 7 percent local option tax (LOT) increase expectation, and health insurance is less, due to Ketchum’s participation in an Idaho cities health insurance pool.

“We’re able to support city staff, operations and the work that they do and fund the majority of the requests and still save 17 percent,” Jonas said.

Jonas laid out her “key priorities” for the coming year:

Every injury or illness has a physical, mental, emotional, intuitive and spiritual aspect.

• 37 years of experience • Works with your healthcare team • Resolves the source of your illness or injury • Individually and synergistically • Teaches to create and maintain your personal “Process of Good Health”

• Creating multi-modal transportation options • Enhancing Ketchum’s quality of life • Expanding stock of workforce housing • Providing city staff the tools needed to do their jobs efficiently and effectively • Supporting business • Protecting and preserving natural resources The proposed budget will fund city partners at requested levels, as well as maintain current funding levels.

“We are pleased that we are able to fund most of the funding requests,” Jonas said.

• MountainRides would receive funds requested at $634,000 for “multi-modal mobility.”

• Visit Sun Valley would receive funding at the current $440,000.

• Ketchum Energy Adviso-

ry Committee would receive $112,000 for streetlight replacement and energy conservation projects.

• Blaine County Housing Authority would receive $70,000, as requested, to manage housing units.

• Ketchum Innovation Center would receive an increase in support at $60,000 for entrepreneurship programs.

• Ketchum Arts Commission would receive $32,000 in funding for city arts programs.

• Sun Valley Economic Devel- Nina Jonas. Photo courtesy of City opment would maintain its cur- of Ketchum rent amount of $10,000.

The budget also includes salary increases for city staff. Those who make less than $40,000 per year would receive the highest increase with a 10 percent raise; those who earn between $40,000 and $50,000 annually would receive a 5 percent increase; and those earning more than $50,000 per year would receive a 1 percent increase in pay.

“We did a salary survey with other counties in Idaho and ski resorts,” Jonas said. “In terms of the low side, we were far under, and on the high side, we were similar.”

After a brutal bond proposal for overhaul of the city office and support services building on Leadville Avenue, which went down in defeat, the Jonas administration is proposing a possible move of administration services into city-owned Forest Service Park buildings in Ketchum. The Community Library currently operates the Sun Valley Museum of History in the same location.

It’s also the location of Ketch’em Alive and the Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival, none of which would be affected by the move.

This would be the beginning of a readjustment of all city services.

“Historical preservation is integral,” Jonas said. “We’d confer with Vicky Graves,” a longtime Ketchum neighbor and local historian, “to save that property and work with the library to do curation projects. There would be at least a year of planning.”

In the current year’s budget, the “city council agreed to put $450,000 into a separate trust

fund for essential services, and construction for the project, with $50,000 for outreach and planning,” Gager said. “We haven’t spent a penny of that. The mayor is recommending adding $375,000—from general tax revenue funds—into the trust fund this year to move forward.”

Police and fire would move into a separate building, and the current city hall could possibly convert into mixed use or be leased.

The budget also proposes appropriating community housing in-lieu fees from the past two years for investments in workforce housing units.

Gager said the city is evaluating projects for community housing weekly.

“Now we have the ability to spend,” Jonas said. “We have to find good projects to get the best rate. The focus is on keeping residents in Ketchum.”

The budget also supports additional irrigation improvements, including continuing work on the Ketchum Springs line conversion. It is projected to reduce water loss, and lessen pumping requirements and cost by installing meters and repurposing old water lines.

The Street Department will continue installing energy-saving streetlights and other energy-efficiency measures.

The Ketchum City Council will hold three readings of the proposal. When the final budget is passed, it will cover the fiscal year from Oct. 1, 2017 to Sept.

30, 2018.

Fire Updates

tws

Several fires in the region have sprung up over the past hot, dry, windy days. The Antelope Fire south of Shoshone began during a Sunday afternoon lightning storm. The fire shut down stretches of Highway 93 and 84 by Monday afternoon.

The nearly 10,000-acre fire had reached U.S. 93 and crossed it in several places, the Bureau of Land Management Twin Falls District reported.

A wildfire burning in the area of the Bruneau Sand Dunes State Park near Mountain Home shut down the park temporarily. Campers and visitors were evacuated. By Tuesday, parts of the park had been reopened.

On Sunday, at 8:20 p.m., a fire was reported at Balmoral Apartments in Hailey. Electrical in nature, the fire started in an occupied first-floor apartment. Wood River Fire Chief Craig Aberbach said the automatic sprinklers in the apartment contained the fire until firefighters were able to completely extinguish it. Hailey, Wood River and Bellevue fire departments all responded. All occupants were able to get out of the apartment safely.

NEWS CRIME & COURTS

FUGITIVE FROM BLAINE COUNTY HELD IN UTAH JAIL

BY DANA DUGAN

C

had Don Ramsey, 42, of Carey — who is facing four misdemeanor charges and one felony charge in Blaine County — was apprehended by the Iron County Sheriff’s Department, in southwest Utah, on Tuesday, July 4, where he is now also facing a felony charge in Iron County 5th District Court.

On July 2, the State of Idaho charged Ramsey with Stalking-First Degree, a felony. However, law enforcement in Blaine County was unable to apprehend him.

The stalking charge is related to currently pending cases in Blaine County 5th District Court from March and April.

On March 23, the State of Idaho issued Ramsey misdemeanor charges for Assault-Domestic Violence, False Imprisonment, and Telecommunication Line-Intentional Destruction of Line or Instrument. On April 7, the State of Idaho issued him a misdemeanor charge for Domestic Violence-Violation of Protection Order.

On July 5, the Blaine County court issued a warrant for Ramsey's arrest for allegedly stalking the same victim from the March and April charges. The Blaine County court also requested that he be extradited back to Blaine County, but the Iron County court will not release him until he is tried first for his alleged crimes in Iron County. He would then be available for extradition to Blaine County, after time is served, if need be.

“There are other means to take care of that once he’s sentenced,” said Del Schlosser, of the Iron County Sheriffs Department. “Most prosecutors wait till the other location is done.”

According to Schlosser, the department received a report at 7:05 p.m. on July 4 of the theft of fuel from a farm near Parowan, about 20 miles north of Cedar City

in southwest Utah.

After allegedly being spotted by officers while driving south on Hwy. 15, Ramsey failed to stop. A pursuit was initiated. The vehicle was later spiked but Ramsey failed to stop despite four flat tires. Ramsey later went across the median and turned back onto Hwy. 15, now heading northbound.

Ramsey never exceeded 70 miles per hour since he was driving on his rims, Schlosser said. Finally, the officers in pursuit used a Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) maneuver, in which they bump the side of a fleeing car at its back end, which causes the car to spin out.

“Ramsey was ordered out of the car,” Schlosser said.

“He refused. The officers brought him out and when getting onto the ground he obtained the barrel of a rifle of one of the officers on the scene. The officers made sure he didn’t get it.”

Ramsey suffered a laceration on his forehead, a result of his alleged struggle with the police on the highway.

He was taken into custody, and then taken to Cedar City Hospital for stitches and treatment of minor injuries.

A search of Ramsey's vehicle allegedly uncovered drugs and paraphernalia. He also allegedly failed a urine test.

Despite the charges for which he is wanted in Blaine County, a fugitive charge wasn’t issued until the morning of July 6. But, the Iron County Sheriff’s Department was still unaware of this.

“If someone is wanted, they’ll be in the National Crime Information Center,” Schlosser said. “We had no idea, and he didn’t give a full accurate name, He said it was Chuck. But other identifiers such as his Social Security number and physical attributes helped identify him eventually.”

Ramsey is being charged in Iron County with “first -degree felony, the most serious offense [Ramsey] has, for at-

tempting to disarm a peace officer,” Schlosser said.

The criteria in the State of Utah are for five years to life in prison for a conviction of attempting to disarm a policeman.

According to Schlosser, Ramsey was also charged with another felony, failure to stop on command, and several misdomeaner charges, including driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia, theft of fuel and resisting arrest.

If he's found guilty of more than one charge, Ramsey could serve the time for his convictions concurrently. tws

SPONSORED BLAINE COUNTY NOXIOUS WEEDS

HOW TO SPOT SPOTTED KNAPWEED irst of all, it is hard to find spotted knapweed under 2 inches of snow. We found this out on June 13. The second week of June is usually the best time to go and monitor and find spotted knapweed. This year was the first year that we have not been able to do sites because of snow.

Spotted knapweed is an herbaceous, short-lived perennial reproducing entirely by seed. Each plant can produce up to 25,000 seeds that can remain viable in the soil for up to eight years. Flowers range in color from pink to light-purple and bloom from July to October.

The bracts of the flower heads are blacktipped, giving the plant its characteristic

“spotted” appearance. Seeds are brown to black in color, smooth, and less than 0.25 inches long. Stems are typically 2 to 4 feet tall with lower leaves that are deeply lobed and upper leaves that are more linear. Spotted knapweed prefers moist rangeland habitats, but is common in waste areas, along roadsides, and in pastures. To date, 13 biological control agents have been approved for release for the knapweed complex, which includes spotted knapweed.

The knapweed flower weevil (LA) is an abundant biological control agent that can utilize spotted, diffuse and squarrose knapweeds. LA overwinters as an adult. Adults emerge in the spring when they begin to feed on knapweed foliage. Females produce between 28

and 130 eggs, which they lay in clusters in open flowers. Eggs hatch and larvae feed on seeds and receptacle tissue for about a month. Larvae construct cocoons within the seed heads using pappus hairs and pupate. Emerging adults chew a characteristic round hole in the top of the cocoon that is visible when viewed from above.

In conclusion, as you can see, spotted knapweed spreads fast and far!

Unfortunately, with our record water this year, they have the perfect transportation to go wherever the water will carry them.

Keep in mind that our bugs don’t like disturbances. So we are looking for land free from spraying, grazing, cultivation, highly populated areas and high-traffic areas. If you see spotted knapweed,

ocal waters continue to clear and become slightly more fishable, while we all practice patience.

The refrain we keep hearing is how little holding water there is for fish.

If you decide to search through the falling waters on our local freestone streams like the Upper Lost and the Big Wood, your best bet is heavy streamers fished in the calmest water you can find.

There is some limited smallfly opportunity in side channels and back eddies, but be prepared to drive or walk a great deal from spot to spot. The rivers remain high and dangerous, so keep that in mind when wading and approaching steep banks.

Silver Creek continues to impress as the Trico action continues to build and move upriver.

This little bug is a game changer on the Creek and can be one of the most fun spinner falls an angler can fish over. Expect the action to kick in around 8 a.m. or whenever the air temp hits 70 degrees.

The Callibaetis remains a strong hatch and spinner fall, while the afternoons are dominated by incredible Damselfly action. Currently, there is a lull between 3 p.m. and about 6 p.m., but then the evening action starts up and lasts into the darkness.

The Baby Hoppers are growing in size and numbers.

Areas that didn’t see significant flooding are loaded with Hoppers. Once we return to blustery afternoons, we should start seeing some of this Hopper action on the surface.

The South Fork of the Boise is returning to normal, with the tail end of the Salmon Fly hatch being found on the uppermost reaches. The Cicada action picks up the farther downriver you go, giving anglers an opportunity to float giant dry flies all the way down the river. The Pink Alberts are also picking up steam and the smaller fish are on them.

Once the big bugs are done, we can expect the bigger fish to start giving their attention to the smaller Pink Albert.

A quick note on the South Fork: The Forest Service is cracking down on driftboats being launched off the side of the road at makeshift boat ramps. Be aware that this is the case, and please be polite and know these guys are just doing their jobs.

Elsewhere, there is some fishing on the Big Wood below Magic Dam. The Reservoir is also fishing well, as is the Little Wood Reservoir.

Happy fishing, everyone!

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A PUPPY

BY FRAN JEWELL

We would all agree that the dog lovers in this community are dedicated and extraordinary. Having lived here for 37 years and raised over 25 puppies of my own or service-dog puppies, I have seen a lot of changes. Once upon a time people only had one dog. And, not everyone had a dog. Now everyone seems to have at least one dog—or MORE! This has created extraordinary pressure on our community in many ways. There is literally no place to walk a dog anymore without seeing more dogs and people. Some locations, particularly the “dog park,” Trail Creek, Adams Gulch, Quigley, Slaughterhouse and Old Cutters, have become a mecca for dedicated dog owners to spend time enjoying their dogs.

Unfortunately, the other side of this is that some dog owners have somehow lost sight of the sense of community and that EVERYONE has a right to enjoy this phenomenal area even if they are afraid of dogs, own a puppy or own a dog that needs personal space.

Owning a dog here and enjoying our Valley means being responsible and sensitive to others. Your dog is NOT the only dog and does not have more rights than another dog, nor does your dog have more rights than any human enjoying our outdoors. People seem to think that no matter what, their dog should get to run free. Running free is a privilege, not a right. An off-leash dog means your dog MUST come when it is called the FIRST time, no matter what. Regardless of wheth-

er you think your dog is friendly, if someone else asks you to call your dog because their dog needs space or they are afraid of dogs, you MUST honor that in a friendly and compassionate way.

I see “bully” (meaning an obnoxious, dangerous greeter) dogs that accost puppies after the puppy owner asks the bully-dog owner to call their dog. The bully-dog owner yells, “He’s friendly!” when, in fact, the dog is a bully and runs up to the puppy and terrorizes it, which can scar a puppy for life. This is NOT acceptable.

I had my puppy, Mariah, with me one day last winter and she needed to get out of the van to go potty. There, in the parking lot at Rotary Park, were no less than EIGHT piles of dog crap that someone felt the Poop Fairy was going to pick up for them. I couldn’t get Mariah out of the van and had to stop four other times before I could find a place that didn’t have dog crap in the parking lot. How is this a community of responsible and caring dog owners?

While working a client dog in Festival Meadow off Sun Valley Road, there were three bags of poop—no owners in sight— just waiting for the Poop Fairy once again.

One bag of poop had a dollar bill under it like some “help” was going to do the work for the entitled dog owner. Really?!

PLEASE! Leaving your dog’s waste behind is just plain irresponsible and unkind. It is not fair to anyone or any dog OR wildlife!

Allowing your dog to run up to every person and every dog, ESPECIALLY when someone has asked you to call your dog, is

Waiting for the Poop Fairy, Festival Meadow, Sun Valley Road.

also IRRESPONSIBLE and rude. Be compassionate with others! Teach your dog to come and then to sit next to you politely. Ask first if your dog can play with another dog.

Let’s ALL do our share. Be the village that works together to be kind, courteous and RESPONSIBLE.

SOUNDS OF NATURE

L

BY LESLIE REGO

ast week I wrote about utilizing all five senses when out and about in Nature. This week I would like to isolate one sense, hearing.

Generally, we use our eyes the most when we are outdoors, but recently I had an opportunity to relax by a stream, shut my eyes, and just listen.

Goethe wrote, “Close your eyes, prick your ears, and from the softest sound to the wildest noise, from the simplest tone to the highest harmony, from the most violent, passionate scream to the gentlest words of sweet reason, it is by Nature who speaks, revealing her being, her power, her life, and her relatedness so that a blind person, to whom the infinitely visible world is denied, can grasp an infinite vitality in what can be heard.”

As I sat by the creek, with my eyes closed, I began to pick up nuances. I could detect the water hitting the various stones. There was a distinction between a direct hit and when the water gently rolled over a stone.

I began to pick up patterns. There was a difference in rhythm between when the water was able to run for a bit undisturbed and when the water was constantly interrupted by some natural form.

The sounds began to roll over me, forming different cadences, like a percussion band. One moment it seemed as though the bass drum was playing and the next the triangle. The skill in playing the triangle comes from being able to reproduce the complex rhythms that are written for the instrument. Just like the triangle, it seemed like a variety of intricate, auditory motifs are produced by the water.

Sitting by the stream, I also noticed different levels of volume. On the triangle, quieter notes are produced by using knitting needles or a wooden beater, reminiscent of slowly moving water. Rapidly moving water felt more like a metal stick hitting the triangle. The sounds oscillated from loud to soothing.

SPONSORED FEATURE STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE, ELIMINATE THE NEGATIVE

BY JOELLEN COLLINS

T

he title of this column is the name of a popular song in the ’40s, sung

by Bing Crosby. I try to live by the advice of those long-unheard lyrics: to experience few negatives and loads of positives.

A friend of mine just suffered through receiving a pointed, nasty, and personal letter concerning her part in a civic dispute. The missive used her name and also inferred that her opinions were not shared by many others. As I focus on positive energy, behavior and people in my life, I was empathetic about the hostile and hurtful diatribe.

Several years ago I received a vicious letter commenting on one of my columns. The writer attacked me as being “a baby killer,” “ugly” and therefore unmarried, “a lesbian” (if that were my sexual choice, I would have borne that label with pride), and suggested that I should “move to China,” where I would fit in with other Communists. The tone was wrathful.

Over coffee, I asked a friend (a former elected local official) what to do. He suggested a choice of three actions: 1.

Write back to the sender and state that he might want to know that someone else was using

his name to create such hateful drivel; 2. Burn the letter and forget about it; or, 3. Wish or pray that this man would acquire a fuller and better life.

I burned the letter, and my better self worked on the grace to hope he could be happier, though I still harbor some angst about his living in the same town as I do.

Last week I had the opportunity to compare that unfortunate happenstance to one of the more blessed and positive commemorative memorial gatherings I have ever attended. Along with dozens of other singers and musicians, I was honored to partake in the celebration of the too-short life of John Glenn, the artistic director, performer and essential backbone of the success of our wonderful theater, Company of Fools. In support of John and his beloved husband, R.L. Rowsey, the auditorium at the Community Campus in Hailey was packed.

It may seem odd to say that I and most of the people onstage and in the audience there truly felt like family. The laughter at dramatic stories from John’s career, the joy of those friends knowing he had been part of their lives, and many tears made the shared emotion of love almost palpable.

What a gift to live in this community where, in the midst of grief, we can together embrace the positive attitudes and feelings that make us better neighbors and people! If even in this tiny part of Idaho, the United States, and the world, we can recreate this energy more often, perhaps there is hope for the millions of our fellows who aren’t as fortunate as we are to inhabit the Wood River Valley.

The melody lingers, with those indelible words of Johnny Mercer, “Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative.”

COLUMN SCIENCE OF PLACE

HORNS VS. ANTLERS VS. OSSI…WHAT?

W

BY SARAH BAHAN

hat’s the difference, if any, between horns and antlers?

This is a common query in a valley filled with diverse animals featuring such fancy cranial appendages— known collectively as “headgear”—ranging from moose to cattle to pronghorn.

For starters, these types of headgear are only found on Artiodactyls (even-toed ungulates). Among these, four families of ruminants each have a unique, distinctive type of headgear: horns are sported by members of the Family Bovidae (e.g. cattle, goats, true antelope and bighorn sheep), antlers by Family Cervidae (e.g. deer, elk and moose), pronghorns by Family Antilocapridae (the American pronghorn), and ossicones by Family Giraffidae (giraffes and okapis).

Ruminant headgear is tremendously diverse in form, as exhibited by the difference between a kudu’s spiraled horns and a moose’s broad antlers, as well as function. These appendages aid in everything from mate selection, defense and feeding, to sensing environmental stimuli.

Sarah Bahan grew up in the The most ubiquitous type of headgear seen among ruminants are Wood River Valley and currently horns in bovids. Horns are single bony protrusions that grow from works as a veterinarian at Sawan animal’s skull and are covered by a keratinous sheath. Depend- tooth Animal Center in Bellevue. ing on the species, both males and females may grow horns. They grow continuously throughout an animal’s life and, if damaged, will retain those mars.

Antlers, which are only grown by members of the deer family, are also skeletal extensions comprised of living bony tissue. Antlers are initially covered with skin and fur, known as “velvet,” which provides a blood supply to them as they grow. Once the antlers are fully grown, the velvet is sloughed, or scraped off, exposing the underlying bone.

Antlers are shed and regrown annually, growing back larger and potentially with more branches each time. Shedding usually occurs after mating season, at which point other wildlife, such as small mammals, consume the antlers as a source for nutrients, most notably calcium. Only male cervids have antlers, with female caribou (which are the same species as reindeer, their domestic European counterparts) being the one exception to the rule.

So which do our local pronghorn sport? Neither. Yet no discussion of pronghorn “horns,” simply called “pronghorns,” would be complete without discussing ossicones first. Ossicones are the permanent, horn-like nubbins protruding from the skulls of giraffes and male okapis. Ossicones are composed of cartilage at birth but, as an animal ages, they gradually ossify and turn to bone.

Pronghorns’ “horns,” much like ossicones, are also composed of a bony core covered by skin. Yet, in pronghorns, that skin develops into a keratinous sheath. Though the bony core remains, this keratin sheath is shed and regrown annually by males and at irregular intervals by the approximately 60 percent of females that also have them. Pronghorns also differ from ossicones in that they have two distinct spikes.

Now that we are all familiar with the basic differences between horns, antlers, pronghorns and ossicones, I leave you with a question to ponder over your morning coffee: Just which type of headgear are jackalope graced with?

MCKENZIE GARRISON

BY JONATHAN KANE

M

cKenzie Garrison, a recent graduate of Wood River High School, lives for volleyball. She played for the Wood River Wolverines and in club volleyball, and was recruited to play next year at Santa Barbara City College in California. In the meantime, she is working at Hillside Auto in Bellevue.

At Wood River High School, Garrison carried a 3.7 grade point average, and was a member of The Key Club and National Honor Society. She also took Advanced Placement Language and Composition, Psychology, Statistics, and Government.

But it’s on the court that Garrison truly excels.

“It’s my home away from home,” she said. “It’s my escape.”

“It’s also fast-paced, and there are five other girls on the court that are family to me.”

Garrison started playing volleyball in fifth grade.

“I had a good friend playing, and her father was the coach, so my mother decided to sign me up. What I remember most was getting a lot of bruises. I was the one always running around getting everything.”

Garrison took to the sport immediately.

“Part of it was that I like to be part of something bigger than myself. When you play volleyball, you immediately have a family. Playing in high school was scary, but I felt supported by my new family.”

On the team, Garrison plays outside hitter.

“I used to prefer offense, but

now I love defense, especially when playing against taller girls.

It’s so satisfying to defend them.”

Her improvement has been steady.

“In middle school, I got significantly better each year. I made junior varsity my freshman year of high school and was a slider, because I was also called up to varsity.”

Garrison has lettered all four years of high school competition.

“That’s pretty good, considering that my freshman year only three girls lettered in varsity. My sophomore year I started every game for varsity.”

For the winter and fall of that year, Garrison moved to Boise and played club volleyball, then switched to Eagle High School.

She was on the 16 Elite team and traveled the Northwest, since all her games were out of state.

“I grew up a lot and learned more about the game,” Garrison said. “You have to be selfless when you play. In order to be better, I have to make everyone around me better.”

During her junior year back at WRHS, Garrison missed half the season with an injury, but was still named Honorable Mention All Conference. Her senior year she made first team All Conference.

“I’m so excited about playing for Santa Barbara,” she said. “I’ll be playing in the fall, and then in the winter and spring I’ll play beach volleyball just for fun.”

As with all aspects of the sport, it’s all about being smart.

REDFISH LAKE HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

BY SENIOR CONNECTION

T

he weather has been hot, hot, hot! What could be cooler than a nice jump in a lake. Redfish Lake, to be exact.

Following a record snowpack in the surrounding mountains, the melting snow has filled the lake to higher-than-usual levels. Although the white sand beaches are covered for the moment, it’s still a great time to spread your towels and beach chairs on the expansive lawns and enjoy the sun and crystalclear water from there.

Summer is a great time for seniors to reconnect with their children and grandchildren.

You may live near one another or some may be visiting from afar. In either case, Redfish Lake is a special place to meet and spend some high-quality time together.

The lake has been the focal point of many family reunions and weddings, stealing the show with its beauty.

Redfish Lake offers endless activities for vacationers of all ages.

• At the marina, you can rent boats, kayaks, canoes, paddleboats and paddleboards.

• You can moor your own watercraft and fuel your boat from the gas dock.

• Call ahead and reserve a pontoon boat for the entire family.

• There is a boat shuttle service to take hikers to and from trailheads.

• Tour guides in boats enlighten passengers with the geography and history of Redfish Lake.

• A wide variety of bicycles are available to be rented for kids and adults of all levels.

• Fly-fishing and spin casting are great family activities at Redfish, with guides, licenses and equipment available

nearby.

• Redfish Corrals offers horse rentals, guides, scenic rides and pack trips.

• The rugged Sawtooth Mountains provide challenging mountain climbing, day hikes and hundreds of miles of trails.

• A nice selection of food is available at both the Lodge and the Lakeside Grill on the lawn, for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

• There is a general store near the Lodge that carries everything from sunscreen and shirts to snacks and camping supplies.

While you’re at the lake, you may want to visit the USFS Redfish Lake Visitors Center. There are exhibits and tours, and a campfire program at the outdoor amphitheater.

Beginning at the Center, you can take a self-guided tour on the Fishhook Creek Nature Trail. To learn more about these activities and more, or to get prices and make reservations, contact Redfish Lake Lodge at (208) 774-3536.

It’s possible that a more scenic place does not exist— anywhere. It’s the perfect place for artists, young and old, to paint and draw, to take spectacular photographs and capture the peaks, wildlife, wildflowers and waterways that abound in this area. Curl up and read in a chair on the porch, or play games with the whole family.

Executive Director Teresa Beahen Lipman invites you to come to the Senior Connection in Hailey and order something cold and sweet at Scoops, our ice cream parlor, which is open from 1–4 p.m. weekdays. For those of you who have been displaced or affected by the recent flooding, the first scoop is on us.

DOUBLE TOIL & TROUBLE SV Shakespeare to mount two classics

T

BY SUN STAFF

he annual Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival will grow this year, presenting two of Shakespeare’s most famous works at two locations in Ketchum. The Spot will produce “Macbeth” in its space at 8 p.m., Thursday, July 20 through Friday, July 28, at 220 Lewis Street, Ketchum.

“The Winter’s Tale” will be mounted by nexStage Theatre at 7 p.m., Wednesday, July 26 through Saturday, Aug. 5, in Ketchum’s Forest Service Park.

Considered one of Shakespeare’s bloodiest plays, “Macbeth” dramatizes the detrimental physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for power’s sake. Follow the Macbeths and their rise and fall from the throne in a 90-minute whirlwind adaptation featuring Brett Moellenberg (Macbeth), Yanna Lantz (Lady Macbeth), Peter Burke (Macduff), Kevin Wade (Player) and Natalie Battistone (Banquo/ director).

“The Spot’s production is, in a lot of ways, a deconstruction of the play,” said Battistone.

“We have consolidated the roles and have five actors portraying them all. Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Macduff and Banquo are fully intact, but the witches and all other characters are amalgamated into one, which I think helps us elicit the sensation that something much larger than Macbeth is driving the plot. He is being led by Fate, and Fate is whipped into and out of the bodies of servants, guards, witches, comrades and porters. They all appear to help show him he has the choice, he has freewill to change it, to choose a different path... but as tragedies go, he doesn’t.”

nexStage Theatre will present “The Winter’s Tale” at 7 p.m., July 26 through Aug. 5, in Ketchum’s Forest Service Park. Photo courtesy of nexStage Theatre

The production will be sitespecific, meaning the audience will follow the actors from scene to scene. There will not be seating provided; however, there will be auxiliary chairs and locations within the set to account for audience members who need to sit.

“I’m excited to see how the audience responds to our site-specific staging,” said Battistone. “Although I’ve been part of and attended many productions set up this way, this is the first time we’re bringing the concept to The Spot. It’s almost interactive, which is both intimidating and interesting for both sides.”

“Macbeth” at The Spot is suitable for ages 10 and over due to violence and some scary sequences. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students. Head to spotsunvalley.com to reserve a place; advance purchase is highly recommended.

Director Bruce Hostetler will return to Sun Valley with a two-hour adaptation of “The Winter’s Tale” featuring local and regional actors, including nexStage’s Patsy Wygle (Paulina), Portland-based actor Tim Blough (Antigonus), Boise-based actor Justin Ness (Camillo), and Wood River Valley teens Annabelle Lewis

(Perdita) and Kagen Albright (Florizel). Will Lamoureux and Cooper Salvoni, last seen at nexStage in “Mothers and Sons,” with share the role of Mamillus.

Peter Burke will portray King Leontes and Natalie Battistone will play Hermione, his queen.

Spanning 16 years, this “romance play” is full of love, loss, mistaken identity, passion and redemption, as well as the world’s most famous stage direction: “exit, pursued by a bear.”

“The play explores how we don’t take the time to understand each other and how we jump to conclusions,” Hostetler said. “In the course of ‘Winter’s Tale,’ we see this incredible chaos, but because it is a comedy, we find our way back to forgiveness and redemption.”

Pack a picnic and enjoy Shakespeare in the park, a longrunning tradition around the world.

“Being under a sky and witnessing art is really unique,” Hostetler said.

Visit nexstagetheater.org to purchase $20 adult tickets or $10 student tickets. Interested in attending “Macbeth” and “The Winter’s Tale”? Special Festival Package rates are available on both companies’ websites. tws

WINDOW CLEANING WITH DEIONIZED WATER

U

sually, when people think about window cleaning, they imagine a man scurrying up ladders and squeegeeing off soapy water from a bucket.

However, like so many other industries, window cleaning has moved on.

Nowadays, modern window cleaning is done using a special water-fed pole system and deionized water to clean windows safely from the ground. A soft-bristled brush is used to scrub the dirt off the glass, while jets of pure water rinse the window.

Here is the science part of it.

Tap water contains many types of minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chloride, iron, etc. These are called Total Dissolved Solids, or TDS, and are generally measured in hundreds of parts per million.

If you wash your windows with tap water, the TDS elements don’t evaporate with the water, but remain as

“Life Sucks” is suitable for ages 13 and up. Tickets may be purchased online at sunvalleycenter.org, by phone at (208) 5789122 or at the Liberty Theatre box office starting one hour prior to curtain. Company of Fools box office is located at the Liberty Theatre, 110 N. Main St., in Hailey.

residue, causing “spotting.”

In other words, “water spots” are caused by the minerals left behind when water evaporates.

Deionization removes these minerals so there is nothing left to cause spotting.

By using deionized water, Ketchum Window Cleaning will give you the following benefits: Environmentally friendly – no detergents or any other kind of chemicals are involved. The runoff is completely harmless to paint, surfaces, gardens and the rest of your property.

Thorough cleaning – using a brush means window frames and surrounds are also cleaned as part of the process.

Thanks for taking the time to read this brief intro to deionized window cleaning. If you would like further details or a free estimate on using this modern, eco-friendly system, please contact us at (208) 2834410.

BY EMILY WILLIAMS

f a large leafy plant has taken over the corner of your backyard, take a look at the color of the stems.

Thick red stalks are a dead giveaway: rhubarb.

Rhubarb doesn’t get much credence as an early summer vegetable, often being overlooked for the many other fresh veggies available this time of year. It isn’t just the memories of last summer’s pies that make my mouth water, though; rhubarb contains quite a few nourishing nutrients. The stalks are rich in antioxidants and calcium, and a good source of fiber, manganese, vitamin C and vitamin K. Before consuming rhubarb, it’s important to note that the leaves are slightly toxic to humans. If still attached, be sure to discard them, keeping only the red-tinged stalks. The most flavorful stalks are firm and shiny, and the more red and thin the stalks, the more sweet and tender their flavor.

Rhubarb is naturally a very tart vegetable, and most recipes add a lot of sugar to sweeten it. A healthier alternative to balance the tartness is to use

2 tablespoons rolled oats 1/4 cup almond milk 1/2 frozen banana 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh rhubarb (1 stalk) 1/4 cup Greek yogurt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 Medjool dates 1 scoop vanilla protein powder A handful of spinach or kale (optional)

Combine oats and almond milk and let sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Add everything to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. For an extra nutrient boost, add some spinach or kale.
