ON THE COVER

The First Amendment is first for a reason. As Thomas Jefferson states, “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.” Luckily, they’re not mutually exclusive. Happy Fourth of July, everyone!

Local artists & photographers interested in seeing their art on our cover page should email submissions to: mandi@theweeklysun.com (photos should be high resolution and include caption info such as who or what is in the photo, date and location).

Washington and Lafayette at Valley Forge, painting by Dunsmore, 1907. Public domain image, accessed via Wikimedia Commons

The Marquis de Lafayette, Hero Of Two Continents The young rebellious French aristocrat who became Washington’s lifelong friend

BY JEAN JACQUES BOHL

O

n July 4, 2016, the United States will celebrate the 270th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

And every year on Independence Day, the American Ambassador to France as well as a French government delegation lay a wreath on the grave of a Frenchman. Why? Because despite the Marquis de Lafayette not being among the Founding Fathers, he played a significant role in the Revolutionary War. Gilbert du Motier, better known as the Marquis de Lafayette, was born on Sept. 6, 1757, into an old French military aristocratic family.

In 1775, at the age of 18, he received a captains’ commission in a royal dragoon regiment. The young officer was most enthusiastic about the American Revolution and its ideals. He decided to offer his services.

Against the orders of King Louis XVI, who wanted to avoid a conflict with England, Lafayette bought a ship with his own funds and set sail for America. He landed in South Carolina on June 13, 1777. He offered to serve without pay, and Congress gave him a commission of major general. David A. Clary – in his Lafayette biography, “Adopted Son” – writes that General George Washington and the Marquis bonded immediately. He writes, “They were unlikely comrades in arms.”

Lafayette’s fierce loyalty and heroism in battle quickly earned him Washington’s esteem. He spent the winter at Valley Forge and, although severely injured, managed an orderly retreat at the battle of Brandywine. He also fought valiantly at the battles of Barren Hill and Monmouth.

In 1778, when France formally recognized the United States, Lafayette returned home to drum up military support for the colonists. He convinced the king to dispatch the French Fleet along with a 6,000-strong expeditionary force under the command of General Rochambeau.

He then returned to the U.S., resuming his command in the Continental Army.

Lafayette distinguished himself at Yorktown in October 1781, preventing a British land escape by having the French Fleet blockade the harbor.

In 1783, Great Britain recognized the U.S. independence with the Treaty of Paris. He took part in the negotiations and subsequently worked with Ambassador to France – and future president – Thomas Jefferson to draft a Franco/American commerce treaty.

Lafayette was also the hero of the reformists

in France who wanted to do away with absolute monarchy. When the French Revolution erupted in 1789, he received the command of the Paris National Guard whose mission was to protect the king, guarantee the newly written constitution and maintain law and order.

He returned to politics after the fall of Napoleon in 1815. He served in the National Assembly during the Bourbon Restoration. In 1824, he made a triumphant visit to the U.S. for two years, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. He died on May 30, 1834, and is buried at the Petit-Picpus cemetery in Paris. An American flag flies permanently over his grave.

Every year on Independence Day, the American Ambassador to France as well as a French government delegation lay a wreath on his grave.

In 1917, when the first American doughboys [a nickname for American soldiers during World War I] arrived in France, their commander, General John Pershing, made a point to visit Lafayette’s grave.

He saluted and said, “Lafayette, nous voici!”

(Lafayette, we have come!) tws

Hospital Reveals New Equipment, Facilities & Doc New infusion center will open July 12

botic device.

“It’s not doing the work,” Verst said. “It guides.”

Verst explained that first a CT, or CAT, scan is conducted, and the information from the scan is fed into the computer of the robot.

“This 3D model of the patient’s spine enables preplanning for the surgery,” Verst continued. “Now, during surgery, we pair the anatomy to the computer. It takes about two minutes. This is quicker and more efficient. As time goes on, robotics will transform the world of orthopedics, especially spine treatment and surgery.”

Verst said the system is more accurate and more precise than traditional spinal surgery, which relies heavily on surgeons using their hands and memories to form a clear picture of where such elements as nerves, muscles and blood vessels lie around the spine.

“It’s particularly important for those who’ve had previous back surgery due to scar tissue,” he said.

In fact, Verst said he recommended waiting on surgery to some patients until the robot was available at SLWR. “The way medicine has evolved, it’s all about safety and outcomes and the robot does both.”

pital since it opened in 2000. On Tuesday, July 12, the St. Luke’s Wood River Infusion Center will open, bringing convenience and comfort to cancer (and other infusion-based) treatments. The new center will take the place of a smaller infusion room that opened at SLWR seven years ago.

Successful and utilized from day one, it had space issues and, due to its proximity to the emergency room, cancer patients with immunity issues were vulnerable to infection. Oncologists from Mountain States Tumor Institute in Boise were able to come only once a month.

The need for cancer treatment has grown. The number of patient visits grew 143 percent from 2010 to 2014. Approximately 100 patients a month receive cancer-related care at SLWR, with several on a weekly or bimonthly schedule of chemotherapy. Many patients make the drive to St. Luke’s Twin Falls.

On July 12, a new 1,769-foot infusion center will open on the first floor of SLWR next to the MRI department. Designed to reduce stress and promote healing, the center boasts a roomy nurses’ station and waiting area, four infusion areas, two exam rooms, and lots of natural light. Patients also will have a choice about Infusion services where they want their treatment, St. Luke’s Wood River Med- from a semi-private to a totally ical Center is completing the private option.

New orthopedic surgeon Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Matt Kopplin has joined St. Luke’s Sun Valley Sports Medicine, along with Dr. Alison Kinsler, who joined the practice last year.

He fills the gap left by Dr. Daniel Judd, who last year returned to Hawaii with his family. Kop-

plin spent 14 years at the 304-bed Level II Trauma Center, at the Billings Clinic in Montana, where he was department chair of orthopedic surgery. Kopplin’s specialty is joint replacement surgery.

Making the move with him is his wife, Dr. Malie Kopplin, who’s an emergency room physician. They have three children, ages 13, 10, and 4.

“This is a small, active town that goes out there and gets hurt,” Kopplin said. “I specialize in knee and hips, especially replacement.

People are trying to age well.

People here are engaged in maintaining their health more than the average population. I want to help them do that.”

For your SAFETY all spectators must stand in or behind the parking lanes next to the sidewalks.

Candy and trinkets will be distributed to you from parade walkers.

Guidance system A new, minimally invasive surgical option, the Mazor Robotics Renaissance Guidance System, is now available at SLWR for patients needing spine surgery. It’s used to treat broken backs, spinal deformity, spinal weakness, instability or chronic back pain.

“This is new, proven technology, but it’s not being used widely, yet,” said Joy Prudek, SLWR public relations and communications manager.

In fact, Dr. David Verst recently performed the first surgery in Idaho utilizing the state-of-theart, robot-guided technology at SLWR. In the past four weeks, Verst performed six more spinal surgeries using the robotics guidance system.

Verst explained that there are two types of robots used in surgery. Robots can be “slave-driven,” like the DaVinci Surgical System, which does most of the work under the surgeon’s guidance. The Mazor is an assisted-ro-

Moose mishap

On Saturday afternoon, a moose ended up in the bowl at the Guy Coles Skatepark in Ketchum. Where his skateboard was, no one knew. But Ketchum Police Chief Dave Kassner claimed that to get the moose out, they simply gave him a muffin, a tonguein-check reference to the children’s book, “If You Give A Moose A Muffin,” by Laura Numeroff.

In actuality, Idaho Fish and Game used a tranquilizer dart on the startled moose. Once sedated, a drag mat was slid under the moose and the animal was dragged out of the bowl using the winch on the Fish and Game truck. The moose was then winched into the back of the truck using a makeshift ramp, and later removed from the bed of the truck in the same fashion at an undisclosed area. No harm, no foul, no muffin.

Motorcycle Adventures Become Humanitarian Effort Project Street Wise helps the poor with first-aid

BY MARIA PREKEGES

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” – Mohammed Ali

A

li’s words are mentioned not only to honor “The Greatest” after his passing, but to remind people that there are many ways to give back in today’s world. Inspired by what he’d seen abroad, one Hailey man did just that.

I felt maybe I could, in some small way, make a little difference.”

Jim Herbert Jim Herbert started his journey to simply discover what certain countries were all about.

He wanted to focus on foreign countries and really ‘see’ them through the eyes of his camera, and not the typical tourist brochure. What he ended up seeing, and doing for the people of these countries, would not only impact them, but himself as well.

Herbert, a photographer and videographer, always wanted to see Vietnam.

“I was in the Navy during the war, but the last year I did a special project in Antarctica,” he said. “When I got back, there was a lot of propaganda, so I decided I really wanted to see the other side of the story. That was my original reason to go.”

And go he did, logging more than 10,000 miles on his motorcycle.

“During these trips I was always drawn to the real poverty areas as I felt maybe I could, in some small way, make a little difference. These areas also provided excellent opportunities for photographing and filming beautiful people who, by our standards, have nothing. Yet, they have the most incredible smiles.”

Over the past five years Herbert came across numerous accidents. As a retired firefighter and medic, he carries a first-aid kit with him at all times. He said people in these areas rarely have resources to take care of injuries.

“I’ve lost count of the number of accidents that I’ve stopped at and done patient care. I ethically have a difficult time passing, so I stop,” he said. “It’s definitely something that is needed.”

After seeing this need firsthand, in 2014 Herbert created Project Street Wise – using his

own funds – and began giving away first-aid kits to schools and villages in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. The kits contain bandages, compresses, wound care supplies, splints and other items.

“I started working on Project Street Wise here in the Valley, but it was for the purpose to go to Southeast Asia.”

Now, due to lack of funds, Herbert can’t continue to make

the kits. However, he still plans on returning to Asia to teach and educate the population about health and first-aid.

“If I could get funding, I would continue the program with the kits. It takes money to do it, and I just can’t continue to fund the project,” he said.

Herbert will go back this October and re-evaluate the program.

“Even though I can’t continue

[to fund the program on my own], I will count the small successes and remember the children’s smiling faces and the thanks from those who were helped. I will return and continue to teach for free. It’s what I have left.”

Dancers and Girl Scouts help with awareness and donations

Footlight Dance Centre’s “SHOES with HEART” performance tour held in February resulted in a whole lot of “sole.” The Silver Sage Girl Scouts used the show to ask for donations of shoes. Using concert dance forms of ballet, modern, jazz, hip hop, tap and folk dance with the theme of shoes, students were inspired to find out more about Haiti and the needs that continue there after two major disasters in the last decade.

Last week, the Silver Sage troop sent 670 donated shoes, plus 80 pounds of donated school supplies, to Haiti. They worked with the Ebenezer Mission in Gonaives, Haiti, as well as with Janis and Tad Walton, former residents of Blaine County.

“What an amazing learning opportunity for all students in the Valley and especially the Girl Scouts of the Silver Sage,” said Leslie Feltman, troop leader. “I am so proud of their hard work to get these shoes packed and raise the funds to ship them.”

Bellevue To Showcase Arts & Horses Art to be exhibited in large barn

BY DANA DUGAN

T

he newly formed Bellevue Artist Alliance will host its first group show in conjunction with the Winter Sun Horse Park Event Clinic and Derby, from 9-5 p.m. July 8, 9, and 10. The event will be held in Heather’s Hay Palace at Winter Sun Ranch located at 26 Townsend Gulch Road off of Lower Broadford Road in Bellevue. The public is invited and admission is free.

The 30-member Artist Alliance show will feature an array of paintings, quilts, ceramics, sculpture, and other disciplines displayed in the spacious hay barn at the center of the scheduled equestrian activities, which will include clinics, judged dressage, jumping and eventing.

“This is a great opportunity for locals and visitors to come to Bellevue,” said Janet Houts, an artist and spokesperson for the Alliance. “I’m excited to show my quilts with other Bellevue artists in our first group show in such a great barn, which is a work of art itself. It will also be fun to watch the horse events.”

Anne Jeffrey, a photographer, said, “One of the great things about living in the Wood River Valley is our awesome skies. I have a whole series of photomontages focused on Wood River Valley skyscapes.”

Artist Pam Street thinks of this show as a “pop–up,” and is excited that people will be able to experience the creativity in a “big, fun barn.”

Other participating artists are Dave Rau, Lee Higman, Jack Sept, Mary Kenneally, Martha Andrea, Marie Stewart and Kitty Marcroft.

KB’s Food Truck, a custom saddlemaker and other equestrian equipment vendors will also be on hand. For more information call Marie Stewart at (208) 721-1662, or mstewartdesigns@ gmail.com. For scheduled events at the Winter Sun Horse Park, www.wintersunhorsepark.com. tws

Accident on Highway 75

At 6:15 p.m. Saturday, June 25, a two-car accident delayed traffic for nearly two hours on Highway 75 between Ketchum and Hailey, near the intersections of Zinc Spur and Buttercup Road. A southbound 2012 grey Dodge Journey driven by Hailey resident Lila Zuniga-Gomez, 32, crossed the centerline, hitting a 2009 Honda Sonata driven by Alfred Love, 69, of Hailey. There were also two 2-year-old occupants of the Dodge Journey. One child was outside of the vehicle being held by a passerby when emergency services arrived. The other child was still in its seat in the car.

Everyone was transported by ambulance to St. Luke’s Wood River.

Blaine County Sheriff Gene Ramsey said blood was taken from the drivers at the hospital and “there is an ongoing investigation.”

Both cars were totaled in the accident. As of Monday, all four patients had been transported by helicopter air-ambulance to St. Luke’s in Boise, where Zuniga-Gomez is listed in good condition, while Love is listed as serious. The hospital is not permitted to reveal the names or conditions of the 2-year-olds.

“I believe this year’s festival, ‘Hemingway and Nature,’ allows us to look at the man’s relationship to the natural world but also his relationship with himself and how this is echoed in his impressive oeuvre,” said Scott Burton, programs manager at The Community Library.

Award-winning writer Rick Bass will be the keynote speaker at the Hemingway Festival, Friday, Sept. 9. His books include “The Book of Yaak,” “Colter,” and his most recent novel, “All the Land to Hold Us.” For more information and to register visit www.comlib.org or contact Anna Svidgal at (208) 806-2640 or hemingwayfestival@comlib.org. Registration is $60, which includes the Rick Bass lecture. Separate tickets for the Bass lecture alone will be available later this summer.

“Fresh Bucks” at local farmers’ markets

The Hunger Coalition and the Wood River Farmers’ Markets teamed up to increase access to fresh, locally grown food for those in need with Fresh Bucks.

Using Fresh Bucks, people can purchase fresh food at the Ketchum and Hailey farmers’ markets with their SNAP dollars. With help from local sponsors, Fresh Bucks money will be doubled, up to $20 per week. For individuals living on a tight food budget, this will allow the $20 SNAP dollars to become $40 worth of fresh, healthy food. This offer will be available to participants weekly while funds last.

Participants swipe a SNAP card to receive tokens that will be accepted at farmers’ booths displaying the Fresh Bucks sign. These tokens can also be used to purchase fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese, eggs, meat and honey. Prepared foods such as pies and jams are excluded from this program.

The markets run weekly through mid-October; in Ketchum on Tuesdays, 2-6 p.m. at the Fourth Street Heritage Corridor, and in Hailey on Thursdays, 2-6 p.m. on Main Street next to Sturtos Hailey. Contact The Hunger Coalition at (208) 7880121 or info@thehungercoalition.org for more information.

Hemingway Festival announced

The Community Library will present the 11th annual 2016 Ernest Hemingway Festival, “Hemingway and Nature,” Sept. 8-10.

The Festival is an important part of The Community Library’s ongoing work to preserve and share Hemingway’s legacy in central Idaho, a place he visited first by invitation in 1939, and returned to often. He died in Ketchum in 1961. While in the Valley, Hemingway developed many friendships, including with the founders of the Library. He enjoyed bird hunting in the high desert hills of the area. His son, Jack, was instrumental in the creation of Silver Creek Preserve.

The College of Southern Idaho will host a free five-week middle school Zero Robotics program. The program is hosted in partnership with the MIT Space Systems Lab, the Innovation Learning Center and Aurora Flight Sciences, and is sponsored

by NASA, the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space and the Northrup Grumman Foundation. The program will run Monday, July 5 through Friday, Aug. 4, from 1-4 p.m. at the CSI Twin Falls campus.

The curriculum introduces students to computer programming, robotics, space engineering and more. The program will culminate in a tournament where finalists go head-to-head against other teams from across the country.

The program seeks mentors who should be familiar with C++ or Scratch programming languages. K-12 educators, pre-service educators, or college students pursing a STEM-related degree are encouraged to apply. For more information, contact the CSI Zero Robotics program facilitator RD Van Noy at rvannoy@csi.edu or CSI Community Education at communityed@csi.edu. Participants or mentors may register at http://communityed.csi.edu or (208) 732-6442. Class size is limited so early registration is encouraged.

John Blackburn A multitalented athlete

BY JONATHAN KANE

J

ohn Blackburn, a rising senior year at Community School, has a passion for competition. This passion plays out on Sun Valley’s Bald Mountain as a ski racer, on the golf course, fishing and hunting, and on the soccer field as a member of the Sawtooth United Football Club.

“I just love to compete,” Blackburn said. “There are a lot of aspects to it, especially all the work you put into it outside competing to prepare yourself by getting fit – especially in skiing. There’s so much time preparing in the fall and summer for that brief moment that you’re actually racing.”

Blackburn said that of all the sports he competes in, skiing is his favorite. He started, like a lot of local kids, on Dollar Mountain.

“I was 2 years old,” he said. “I remember being with my dad and him using edgy-wedgies and a racer-chaser with me.”

(Edgy-wedgies and a racer-chasers are ski training tools for young children.)

Blackburn placed third in his first race at 9 years old, despite crashing and chipping a few teeth.

That same year he joined the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, “because it looked fun.” As a member of the SVSEF, Blackburn specializes in giant slalom, an event that requires more speed than the slalom.

“We have so many competitions during the season, and there is a lot of travel. I miss a lot of school,” he said with a laugh. “My favorite place outside of Sun Valley is Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The town is special and small, like here, and it also has steep mountains.”

This year Blackburn was voted most improved because he lowered his points by a significant amount.

As for his other favorite sport, golf, he said it was “especially hard.

You have to be so precise and the mental part is such a big component. If you miss a little bit, it’s a completely different shot. But being so precise is appealing because you are trying to be as perfect as you can.”

According to Blackburn, it’s the same in skiing. “One little thing can mess you up and then you are out.”

He has high expectations for his senior year.

“I’m going to work hard to get into better condition, that will get me to a new level. This is by weightlifting, core training and soccer, which really helps me get into condition. I love trying to win at skiing because it’s such an adrenaline rush. I also love the sensation because it’s almost like flying. You are cutting through the wind even though you’re not in the sky.” tws

Fishing R epoRt

Pet Column no bones about it The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR june 29 - july 5 FRom picabo angleR

Bring Your Big net!

T

his is going to be a fun few weeks around the Sun Valley/Picabo fishing area.

It is also a good time to get your big net out and start bringing it with you fishing. A lot of water is opening up to fishing and there are a lot of big fish out there that have yet to see a fly.

If you go to the Big Wood, expect to see a lot of Green Drakes. This heat-of-the-day, warm-weather insect is a fish catcher! Plan on being on the water between lunch and dinner for the best Green Drake action.

The Colorado Green Drake is our favorite fly for this event.

The Film Critic is also a good one. No matter what you fish during the Green Drake, bring your big net.

If you go to the Upper Lost, be sure to have Green Drakes, Stoneflies, Caddis and Streamers. The Streamer fishing on the Upper Lost is a matter of finding the dark green waters and fishing deep. If you are focused on dry-fly fishing, they should be looking up by the weekend.

If you go to fish Streamers this week, bring your big net.

Silver Creek is still fishing well with Baetis Spinners and PMD Spinners both early in the day and late. The Green Drake is being replaced by the Blue Damsel when the wind is down and the heat is up. Ants and Beetles are still some of the best producers for anglers stumped by the hatches. Perhaps the best fishing is still the Mousing at nighttime. If you come down for night fishing with a Mouse, bring your big net.

The South Fork of the Boise is still coming on, but very slowly.

Caddis, Salmon Flies, Cicadas and a few Pink Alberts in the hot weather are all producers. The best fly remains a Salmon Fly nymph fished into the buckets and banks. If you decide to go to the South Fork of the Boise, it is best fished from a drift boat and be sure to bring your big net.

This year’s runoff is making things interesting and the results of it should be world-class fishing for the next several weeks.

There are a lot of little spots to fish, where no flies have been cast this year. Get out there and explore everything you can this week. If you head out onto the wild Idaho rivers the next few days, our best advice is bring your big net!

Happy fishing, everyone!

Cool Dogs!!

BY FRAN JEWELL

Y

esterday, it was 89 degrees F. on my car thermometer outside! There was a teenager on a skateboard with a dog following him on the bike path. The dog’s tongue was down to the ground and the dog was obviously struggling to keep up. The boy had a bottle of something, drinking it himself, but paying no attention to the dog. I can only imagine that dog’s paws after running on that hot black pavement. I can only wonder how hot the dog was when it got home... if it got home!

We are an athletic, dog-loving, nature-loving community. We love nothing better than to take hikes, mountain bike, or run with our best friends. With the heat wave and the remaining summer now upon us, we MUST take SPECIAL CARE to keep our dogs Kalidor loves agility; we tried it at a very early age. My passion is tracking.

Antelope Bitterbrush

BY LESLIE REGO

J

ust like prairie smoke, which I wrote about last week, antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) is a member of the rose family. The flowers are small, but a bright yellow, and they open up much like a rose. They are also delicately scented like the old-fashioned rose of yesteryear before the rose was hybridized for commercial use.

Antelope bitterbrush can range in size from a couple of feet to many feet in height. The bush is a favored food for deer, elk, antelope and domestic livestock. During the difficult winter months, big game relies heavily on the plant for sustenance. On open, wind-swept and snow-free sage meadows, it tends to be quite stunted because the animals have thoroughly browsed the branches. The sagebrush meadows near Cathedral Pines are full of flowering antelope bitterbrush right now, making the meadows a pretty yellow.

As the Latin name infers, the leaves of the bitterbrush have three indentations. Even when not flowering, the bush is easy to recognize through the shape of the leaves. It is also interesting to study the budding pattern of the Bitterbrush. The branches near

the ground and rocks can be in full bloom while the rest of the plant has tiny buds. This is because the warmth of the soil and the rocks during sunny days will generate heat and cause the buds to open earlier.

Antelope bitterbrush is so

prevalent in this Valley that it is often overlooked for the more showy flowers that bloom during the springtime. But when an entire area is full of the bush and all the gentle yellow flowers are at the height of their bloom, the ground takes on a yellow hue

which, in the sunlight, is very becoming.

REVERING AGE

BY JOELLEN COLLINS

N

ow that I am a member of the elder generation, as many of my friends are, I am examining the challenges of “aging gracefully.” It isn’t always easy, especially when I don’t want to miss out on things that may happen and on seeing my family mature and tackle life with the zest I can well imagine.

However, I am lucky that my crazy-optimist nature still overcomes the occasional negatives we humans encounter. I am fortunate to have good friends, relatively good health and a supportive and affectionate family. Though I live alone and sometimes miss romance, I am fairly content and enjoy quiet moments and cuddling with my dogs: they ALWAYS welcome me home, in spite of my age!

My summer-school students have just read a story by Jhumpa Lahiri where a young immigrant from India rents a very cheap room near Boston and has to deal with his senile landlady, Mrs. Croft, who is 103! When he goes to visit her with his recently arrived bride from an arranged marriage, the old lady’s simple wisdom changes his attitudes toward her and opens up paths to a better relationship with his wife.

I am reaching a BIG milestone, and my daughters are planning a celebration. I was discussing this with a friend and was reminded of a time when I experienced a fierce joy at being the age I was. When I joined the Peace Corps in Thailand, I was 53, labeled a “senior” and sent to a post near Bangkok, so I “would be near the good hospital” – in case.

Actually, I sidled up to some of the 23-24-year olds at our initial orientation in San Francisco and found them to JoEllen Collins—a longtime be very accepting of me. They encour- resident of the Wood River aged my weekend visits to their posts, Valley— is an Idaho Press and as long as I had a backpack, a good Club award-winning columbook to trade, and an open mind, my nist, a teacher, writer, fabric artist, choir member and age never seemed to matter.

I was to some a surrogate mom or unabashedly proud grandma known as “Bibi Jo.” aunt, but I got out and danced with “my kids” even when it was over a hundred degrees and so humid that I wore at all times a wet bandana around my neck. I felt included and sometimes was even asked great questions like, “Omigod, you actually heard the Beatles’ earliest music sitting on a beach in Malibu?”

Thais respected me BECAUSE I was “older.” Seniors there are honored and comforted in ways some other cultures lack. When I was about to leave Thailand, my next-door neighbor, Tawatchi, said, “Mama Jo, we understand that old people are not treated well in America. We’ll never let that happen to you. Please know you can live with us for the rest of your life.” Ten years later, when a friend and I retraced my journeys in Thailand, we visited Tawatchi and his family. They took me to a new bedroom, built, he said, just for me. I felt truly beloved in that country.

Bless those who care about us, even with the floppy skin my granddaughter likes to pet when I visit. tws

column movie review

‘Finding Dory’ Family First

BY JONATHAN KANE

A

s is normally the case, Pixar Animation Studios strikes again with their new feature, “Finding Dory,” a sequel to their acknowledged 2003 classic, “Finding Nemo.”

Touching and charming, the film hits all the right chords and is sure to entertain kids as well as keep parents equally engaged.

Part of this is due to the terrific voice work of the three principals – Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks and Ed O’Neill. But much of the credit goes to the astounding animation, which is

a good thing because this is an animated film.

“Finding Nemo” set the bar pretty high, but “Finding Dory” actually tops it. From the incredible lighting to the swirls of movement and the amazing capture of life beneath the sea, the movie pops whether you are seeing it in 3D or traditional 2D. Credit also goes to the directors, Andrew Stanton (“WALL-E,” “Finding Nemo”) and Angus MacLane. Stanton has also penned a wonderful script with Victoria Strouse that packs a powerful message of family and acceptance.

In the movie, Dory, a blue tang fish voiced by DeGeneres, who was a sidekick in the first film, now takes center stage. Her disability of short-term memory, played for laughs in the first film, now carries an empathetic weight. As the story opens, she has lost her parents as a youngster and then flips to a few years later when she reunites with Marlin (Albert Brooks) and his son Nemo on a voyage across the ocean to California to seek out her parents.

When they arrive, the movie turns into a madcap adventure as the characters find themselves

lost at a marine institute. Frenetic in pace, we are also introduced to a variety of funny and striking aquatic life.

In the end, Dory finds home, and there isn’t a dry eye in the house. tws

daVinci’s Celebrates 20 Years of Home-Style Italian Food In Hailey

BY JEFF BACON

T

he Rolling Stones may have said it best for Jennifer and Larry Schwartz when they were opening their new restaurant in Hailey 20 years ago: “You can’t always get what you want… you get what you need.”

“At the time, we were convinced the name for our new Italian restaurant should be Spaghetti Western in homage to the area’s connection to movies, cowboys and the Wild West,” Jennifer recalls. “There were reasons beyond our control that kept us from using that name and now we’re very glad they did.”

July marks the 20th anniversary for daVinci’s restaurant in Hailey.

“Larry and I met when we both attended Cornell University’s School of Hospitality Administration,” Jennifer adds. “When we moved to the area in 1992, we knew we wanted to open an Italian-style restaurant like the ones we had grown up with back East.

The little restaurant on the corner that always has consistently great Italian food in a comfortable atmosphere is the model we had in mind when we created daVinci’s. After 20 years in business, I think we can safely say we’ve succeeded.”

When asked why she thinks they’ve managed to stay successful long enough to be one of the oldest, single-owner restaurants in the Valley, Jennifer says confidently, “consistency. We have long-term customers that come to daVinci’s because they know they will have the same great chicken parmigiana every time they’re here.”

And what are some of the dishes they’re most known for?

“We have many people that come back every time for our rotolo, a rolled pasta with filling that’s sliced and baked and served in a pink tomato sauce,” Jennifer notes. “Also, everything on our menu is available for group take-out food. Lasagnas, salads, sauces, chicken, veal or eggplant parmigiana can all be ordered to go for small or large groups. We also have one of the best outdoor dining spots in town. With our beautiful summers it is a wonderful place to wind down after enjoying the day.”

Jennifer is quick to note that another big part of daVinci’s success has been the fact that they’ve been blessed with consistent staffing.

“I know it sounds a bit cliché, but the old adage is true,” Jennifer adds. “You can have the best location, facility and product, but if your staff doesn’t give a

top-quality experience to your customers, you’ll never survive.

We’re very fortunate to have the amazing staff we do, especially the long-term staff of Doug, Charles, Andrew and Dave.

They’ve all been with us for at least 10 years, with Doug and Charles at 19 and 18 years, respectively.”

To celebrate their 20th anniversary, daVinci’s will offer specials and weekly giveaways of gift certificates and other items now through the end of the year. daVinci’s is open Wednesday through Sunday at 5 p.m. Reservations are encouraged at (208) 788-7699.

news in brief

Zions Bank provides fresh coat

Senior citizens and disabled residents who face challenges maintaining their homes were given a helping hand from Zions Bank’s 26th annual Painta-Thon service project. One Bellevue resident, Esther Boyd, 96, was lucky enough to have her entire home repainted during the service project in June. More than 2,800 Zions Bank employees and their families volunteered to clean, scrape and paint 44 homes in Idaho and Utah.

The average age of this year’s homeowner is 77, with an average monthly income of $1,803. Projects were selected with the assistance of nominations from the public, state housing agencies, community organizations and local churches.

In addition to painting, Zions Bank employees provided yard cleanup, pruning, mowing, planting and minor repairs as needed by homeowners. The cost for all paint and supplies is contributed by Zions Bank.

SPONSORED WEED OF THE WEEK

A WORD ABOUT WHITETOP

BY THE BLAINE COUNTY BUG CREW

J

une is the perfect time of summer to have a discussion about whitetop, as this plant is in full bloom right now. Although other people know it by its other name, hoary cress, whitetop is more descriptive as one can see a sea of it in area meadows. It is not an ugly plant to look at, but its invasive nature allows it to take over native species. Where whitetop has invaded, there are usually no other plants around.

Whitetop is perennial mustard that produces both vegetatively and by seed. This deep-rooted, creeping plant can grow to 90 cm tall and invade crops, riparian areas and rangelands. After its introduction into North America from Eurasia in the late 19th century, whitetop has spread aggressively and is now listed as “noxious” in at least 24 states.

Leaves are grayish-green, lance-shaped, clasping, and up to 10 cm long. Flowers are white, 0.5 cm across, and bloom from April to May. The conspicuous dense flower clusters appear flattopped early in the season, but this characteristic disappears as the stem elongates. Flowering stems contain an average of two small, flat seeds that can remain viable for at least three years. A Hoary Cress consortium of land managers from Idaho, Utah and Wyoming was established in 2001 in conjunction with CABI Bioscience Switzerland and the University of Idaho to investi-

gate potential candidates for biological control of hoary cress.

A critical part of a successful biological weed control program is monitoring the impact of biological control agents on the target weed. Monitoring should be conducted on an annual basis for a number of years to show trends. Gathering baseline monitoring information before a new biological control agent is released is critical to determining impacts. The Idaho State Department of Agriculture, in conjunction with the University of Idaho, Nez Perce Biocontrol Center, and federal land management agencies, has developed the Standard Impact Monitoring Protocol (SIMP) to enable land managers to take a more active role in pre-release monitoring in preparation for the new biological control agent, Ceutorhynchus cardariae (CECA), a stem-galling weevil, and its target weed, whitetop (Lepidium draba).

The Blaine Bug Crew is currently finding whitetop sites to gather pre-release vegetation data in anticipation of the release of a whitetop biological control agent. If you are aware of an infestation of whitetop that will not be sprayed, cultivated, or mechanically removed, this may be a good candidate for our insects to get established. Give us a call at (208) 316-0355 if you know of such a site that landowners are willing to set aside for a number of years to let our bugs get established.

HONESTY: THE POLICY FOR SUSTAINABLE HAPPINESS

I

n my past articles, you have learned that happiness involves the pursuit of worthy goals that are powered by heartfelt personal honesty.

You learned to define happiness based upon a genuine inventory of your passion rather than blindly following notions directed by society, family, or friends. Personal honesty reframes your life into a learning adventure that expands motivation and options.

Nourished by commitment and seasoned with courage, your passion develops into authentic purpose. However, to become truly happy, limiting beliefs that anchor you to misery must be cut.

Honesty truly is the best policy toward sustainable happiness, beginning with being honest with yourself. Helen Keller said, “Life is an adventure or nothing at all.” Still, many live “nothing at all” and steadily march onward, eyes downcast, pizazz dulled into minimal hope.

When connected to your honest passion, reach as far out to your personal edges as possible for, in the end, it’s better to have lived the life you wanted rather than the one others expected of you. As Marianne Williamson has said, “Your playing small does not serve the world.”

ons that lock away passion and potential so it’s not released to those it could benefit, including yourself. Happiness is fueled by ongoing personal honesty—the passion born of insight. Otherwise, you go through motions acting “as if” you have a life.

Own your life through a sincere recognition of what you want and have to offer others.

From there, the adventure begins. Then hold on for a fun run at life.

Jazz reigns supreme on Sundays 6-8 p.m., June 26 through the end of July. Ketchum’s free concert series, Jazz in the Park, sees many of Idaho’s best jazz musicians. Join the community for a picnic-style evening filled with tunes from the jazz canon, all in the midst of Idaho’s glorious wilderness. Concerts take place at the riverside Rotary Park, located at the cross section of Warm Springs Road and Saddle Road. This is more of a mellow music option–more for listening than dancing. To be fully prepared, grab a blanket, bottle of wine and some friends. This week, enjoy a jazz group from Boise with Chuck Smith on piano and Nicole Christensen singing.

However, like many communities, we’ve increasingly embraced online shopping, big-box stores and food shipped from far-off places. This investment directed away from our community, resources and capacity for resilience creates a reliance on external support and makes us vulnerable.

The focus of the 2nd Annual Sun Valley Forum on Resilience, July 10-12 in Ketchum, will be to find solutions to these global dilemmas. Hosted by the Sun Valley Institute (SVI), the Forum will bring prominent speakers to discuss these challenges and accelerate a transition toward resilience. SVI defines resilience as the capacity to deal with shocks and disruptions of all kinds. Topics at the Forum will range from energy, food, and water to how to finance and invest in our capacity to withstand unforeseen challenges.

The food sector is particularly vulnerable. We had best prepare for anticipated uncertainty and learn to provide for ourselves independently. Local Food Alliance (LFA), a program of SVI, works locally to coordinate and
