WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST CONTINUES WORK ON NEW COLORADO GULCH PLAN Bridge progresses for pedestrian and equestrian traffic

BY BAILEY RIERDEN

T

INTERN TO TWS

he Wood River Land Trust and Blaine County continue to make progress on a new bridge across the Big Wood River at Colorado Gulch for pedestrian and equestrian traffic. Construction will begin by February of 2019.

Previously, there was a shorter steel bridge that allowed for vehicular traffic, but previous flooding led to that structure being removed. There will now be a 120-foot elevated boardwalk, and girder bridges through the floodplain. As well, there will also be a pony truss bridge across the main channel, allowing horseback riders to ford the river at a shallow spot north of the new structure.

“Every element is non-motorized and supported by Blaine County, which owns the right-of-way where the road is,” said Mike McKenna, WRLT’s community engagement coordinator.

The Land Trust acquired the Colorado Gulch property in 2016 as an add-on to the Hailey Greenway Master Plan. For 12 years, the nonprofit organization has worked on gaining access to the 150-acre area of the gulch. It is now forging ahead to make progress with the property.

“Our mission is to protect and restore land, wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities in and around the Wood River Valley,” McKenna said. “This is a key spot because, without this bridge, there is no access to the huge amount of public land [up Colorado Gulch]. So we can use the land we acquired to make sure recreation still happens.”

Using funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Land Trust will have $183,000 to finish clearing the debris surrounding the river area of Colorado Gulch, and the new structure will begin being constructed for an estimated $500,000. The Bureau of

Land Management is considering widening the road on the west side, especially where it meets the bridge, so vehicles can more easily turn around there.

“Previously, access to the gulch was by vehicle road bridge, but it’s been compromised three or four times in the past 30 years due to high flows,” said Ryan Santo, project coordinator for WRLT. “What we’re proposing is a pedestrian bridge, and a series of elevated walkways and bridges that will be non-motorized.”

Making the area non-motorized is an effort to create a longer-lasting structure that will benefit users as well as the surrounding environment and gulch itself.

“This is a perfect example of what the Land Trust is trying to do,” McKenna said. “We were able to purchase this private land, open it to the public, and now do the restoration work. This allows for a healthy river and wildlife, as well as more access for citizens.”

People continue to question the plan since it involves eliminating the vehicular bridge. However, access to the west side is still viable via Croy Creek Road to Colorado Gulch Road.

“To replace the bridge to its former design would have been over a million dollars, just to be blown out again,” Santo said. “Flood planning and stream restoration are our priorities. This plan is the best compromise for river function and access.”

As progress continues at Colorado Gulch, the Land Trust has ongoing projects that it hopes will continue to positively impact the community.

“Hopefully, we continue to save a lot more land like Colorado Gulch, and give the river more places to function naturally,” McKenna said. “We also want to educate more people about how rivers work and the importance they have, because doing things now and doing them right will only benefit the future of the Valley.”

Other projects the Land Trust will work on in the future include the Quigley Canyon project, where it is teaming up with the Blaine County Recreation District

to manage the new 1,278-acre easement for public access. The opening of a new nine-acre bench addition to the Colorado Gulch Preserve will occur this fall.

“Our ongoing role in advocating for a healthy Big Wood River includes helping with studies and plans for restoration work at three different locations throughout the Valley,” McKenna said. “There will also be more restoration work for Rock Creek and the Rinker Rock Creek Ranch.” tws

GARDEN TOUR CELEBRATES DIVERSITY AND BOUNTY Sawtooth Botanical Garden to host 23rd Annual Garden Tour

ouring gardens is both an inspiration and a peek into the private, artistic vision of gardeners and landscapers. In the Wood River Valley, the annual Garden Tour, hosted by the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, is always a highlight, with a variety of styles, colors and genuses to peruse.

The 23rd Annual Garden Tour will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, July 28, at private gardens in Warm Springs, West Ketchum and at the Hemingway STEAM School, as well as a bonus garden accessible through one of the other gardens. With so many glorious gardens and examples of native landscaping in the Valley, selecting willing participants cannot be easy for the Garden Tour committee.

The private gardens, all in Ketchum, feature an artist’s garden (Warjone), a creek-front paradise (Waycott), a visionary masterpiece (Phelan-Britt), a contemporary landscape (Page), a cottage garden (Seder), and an edible garden cultivated by children (Hemingway).

“We do scouting trips, drive around, depend on word of mouth, sometimes nurseries and landscaping companies, and our own friends’ gardens,” said Cherie Kessler, Garden Tour chair and SBG board director. “We’re open to all gardens, no matter what size. We like showpiece gardens, but a couple are cottage gardens, such as the Seders’ house, and Warjone’s garden. She’s an artist, and what she’s done with this small lot is incredible, with little garden rooms, and color, some architectural elements, and an espalier.”

Gail Severn Gallery is the sponsor of the Warjone garden.

According to SBG executive director Jen Smith, this year’s gardens offer the best of high-elevation horticulture and outdoor-living enjoyment.

“All the gardens have vegetable gardens—one in a greenhouse, several in containers, and one has raised beds,” Kessler said. “They’re all done differently. Some have fruit trees and berry patches; there’s something to appeal to everyone.”

Phelan-Britt’s showcase garden combines many elements, including hillsides in bloom, an espalier of Zestar apples, a waterfall, a greenhouse, a pétanque court, unique specimen trees and masses of flowers, including rare Himalayan blue poppies.

Most of her plants are well labeled. Webb Nursery is the sponsor of this garden for the tour.

But every garden has its joys. The seven gardens offer a visual feast with educational examples of the bounty that’s possible with time and patience— valuable attributes for a gardener to have.

“The Hemingway Watch-Me-Grow Garden is a real treat, planted and cared for by students with

Poo Wright-Pulliam,” Kessler said. “In the summer, the kids take care of it as part of the Ketchum Parks and Recreation camp programs.”

The sponsor for Watch-Me-Grow is The Assistant property management. All Seasons Landscaping is the sponsor of the Page garden. The Seder garden is sponsored by Embellish, home and art-décor consulting. AquaBella sponsors the Waycott garden, and the Sarchett bonus garden next door is sponsored by Wood River Inn & Suites.

“Gardening is an art form, and I think our summer is so short that people delight in seeing flowers and colors, and the unique specimen plants,” Kessler said.

Tickets for the tour are available at Sawtooth Botanical Garden, at the Page garden, which is number one on the tour, or online at sbgargen.org.

Members pay $25 before the tour date and $30 on the day of the tour. Nonmembers pay $30 and $35.

Sun Valley resident and artist Susan Perrin did the watercolors inside the brochure of each of the gardens. Notecards with these watercolors will be available at each garden for $18 for a packet.

It is recommended that visitors either bicycle or carpool, as parking will be difficult at a few of the homes. No dogs are allowed on the tour. Sawtooth Botanical Garden also suggests that participants wear a hat or bring a parasol, and wear proper shoes, as there are some steep, terraced areas.

There will be water available at each site.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Statehouse Considers Pay Incentives For Teachers The Public Schools Funding Formula Committee continues to tackle the momentous issue of how to properly invest in Idaho’s public schools. Following five hours of testimony, however, the Master Educator Premium program drew impassioned support from committee members Rep. John McCrostie, D-Boise, and Sen. Janie Ward-Engelking, D-Boise.

“Veteran Idaho teachers who prove their value to their students and districts have earned a pay bump,” Ward-Engelking said. “We must show our state’s best and brightest educators that we have their backs. Otherwise, we risk losing them to competing states.”

The Master Educator Premium would provide bonuses to Idaho’s most experienced and accomplished teachers. The program would run side-by-side with the so-called “career ladder” salary increases, which tend to benefit newer teachers.

McCrostie said state lawmakers have a responsibility to keep Idaho teachers in Idaho.

“This is about investing in the veteran educators who make Idaho’s classrooms better every day they teach,” McCrostie said.

“They have earned a premium because they provide a premium education to our kids. At the end of the day, it’s about our children getting the best education from the best educators Idaho has to offer.”

TOUR DE FORCE TO RACE INTO VALLEY

T

BY DANA DUGAN

ry to imagine a time before cars. For a car fanatic, it’s impossible to fathom.

What did men—and many women, too—do with their weekends if not tinker and then drive somewhere, sometimes with the whole family piled into a sports car that should only fit two. Full disclosure: I know of this from experience; thanks, Dad. This weekend, the second of the Valley’s two big road rallies will race into the Wood River Valley, giving all those gearheads another chance to dream of speed.

The new event, Sun Valley Tour de Force, is a two-day charity fundraiser that will be held Friday and Saturday, July 27 and 28.

There are several associated events with the Tour, including a mass drive to Smiley Creek called the Huckleberry Drive; a car show in downtown Ketchum; and the featured event—the high-speed event at Phantom Hill, followed by a fundraising wrap party with live entertainment held at the Sun Valley Auto Club in Hailey.

Organizers of the event, Maya Blix and Whitney Werth Slade, of the newly formed Intrepid Events, worked diligently to create a completely new event with added bonuses such as the wrap party and the Huckleberry Drive.

“Maya and I both have event and PR experience and working with charities and charitable events,” Slade said. “Intrepid Events is designed to create unique events in the community that bring dollars to local businesses and raises funds for the causes people care about.”

After an application process, Blix and Slade chose as the beneficiary of the inaugural event Idaho BaseCamp’s Outdoor Adventure fifth-grade program as the recipient of funds raised. The public-school students enjoy several nights of outdoor adventure education, free of charge, at Idaho BaseCamp’s headquarters outside of beautiful Mackay, Idaho. For many students, this is their first experience attending an overnight camp and their first time camping.

The multi-night camp focuses on internal growth, developing personal responsibility, team building and leadership activities. The students learn mindfulness skills, meditation and yoga. The outdoor classroom focuses on science, animals and the environment, with a special emphasis on nature preservation.

Blix and Slade said they were impressed with Idaho BaseCamp’s ability to clearly show how the funds would be used. Each year there will be another application process.

But, ultimately, it’s about the cars, how fast they can go and how pretty they look.

“We want to make it a world-class event,” Blix said. “That includes working with the right people, like local law enforcement and our safety crew from Seattle. We’ve spent a lot of time and energy working on this for all parties involved.”

Some of the cars that will be in town for the events are some of the world’s most elegant, high-priced muscle cars. For example, there will be a McLaren P1 GLR Lark, which most people will have never seen. As well, there will be a McLaren 720 S; a number of Porches, Corvettes, Ferraris and Mustangs; an Audi R8V10; and a reimagined Porsche 911, by Singer Vehicle Design, which is a completely custom-made vehicle. There will also be a BMW X6M SUV, which is “apparently the fastest X6M in the world,” Slade said.

The array of spiffy-looking cars will be a good mix of supercars, vintage and oneof-a-kind supercars.

“When drivers bring their families and friends, it also helps build on the brand,” Slade said. “There’s so much opportunity moving forward from this event. We have so many exciting ideas, and we want to keep it fresh every year, be inclusive and creative.

That’s what this event is about.”

For those not purchasing tickets to the high-speed run on Saturday, it’s important to note that Highway 75 will be closed while the cars are on the road during the event for about 15-20 minutes, as will Harriman Trail access roads. There will be no parking allowed at any time on Highway 75, as per Sawtooth National Recreation Area guidelines.

The Harriman Trail will remain open to bikes, and riders are strongly encouraged to adhere to all volunteer and event personnel directives during the event and when crossing Highway 75. There will also be a bike trailer provided to transport cyclists past the event closure.

People who plan to view the event are strongly encouraged to stay at least 200 feet

off the road. Event personnel and safety officers will stop the event if people are not a safe distance off the road.

Peter Bush, radio personality and producer of the popular Connecticut car event series, “Caffeine and Carburetors, will act as the emcee for those with VIP passes.

Bush has been involved in the event for eight years and is thrilled to be back with the newly reimagined Tour de Force.

“We’ve regrouped,” he said. “It’s one of the most unique motor vehicle events in the world. It behooved us to move forward, and Maya and Whitney have done a great job of galvanizing our friends again, and reestablishing contact with sponsors, volunteers and the people who were primarily involved. We think we have a great weekend coming up for everyone. It’s good to be back. As host for the VIP spectating group, I’ll be there to fully describe what’s going on and answer questions. As a racecar driver, I understand the dynamics and where your head needs to be. It’s an insider’s look.”

For some, that’s as close to the driver’s wheel as you may ever want to be.

‘IN FOCUS’ SERIES TO FEATURE MOZART Sun Valley Summer Symphony to roll out 35th season

T

BY DANA DUGAN

hirty-four years ago, a group of 22 musicians tuned up their instruments in the Elkhorn plaza for a nice bit of classical music in the evenings. Since then, the group has grown and morphed and is now known as the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. There are now 114 musicians who perform on the elegant Sun Valley Pavilion stage to more than 50,000 music lovers annually.

This year, the season’s offerings are remarkable in a number of ways. A new executive director, Derek Dean, joined the nonprofit organization over the winter. Dean brought with him many years of experience with the global management consultancy firm McKinsey & Co., and with the San Francisco Symphony where he was the chief operating officer. He has worked closely with longtime music director Alasdair Neal.

To start the season are the intimate In Focus Series concerts, which will showcase the mastery of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Prior to the music, there will be brief discussions about each evening’s programs in order to bring the music “into focus.”

Entitled “Mozart Forever! A Brief Survey of Masterpieces for His Time and Ours,” the series will begin at 6 p.m. Sunday, July 29, with chamber works including the sparkling “Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331.”

At 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 31, and 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 2, the programs will feature pianist David Fung performing the “Piano

Concerto No. 23, K. 433,” and an evening of Mozart’s greatest opera overtures and arias.

Recognized for his refined interpretations, Fung is considered a pianist of exceptional expressiveness. He plays regularly with the world’s premier ensembles, including the Cleveland Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, the Israel Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Belgium, the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra, the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the San Diego Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, and the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, and with the major orchestras in Australia, including the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

The final In Focus concert at 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3, will highlight Mozart’s superior symphonic writing with a performance of his Jupiter Symphony.

The Orchestra Festival will begin at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 5, with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 in F Minor and concludes on Aug. 23 with a performance of Ravel’s “Daphnis et Chloé,” brought to life in an immersive new multimedia production designed by award-winning film director and projection designer David Murakami and commissioned by the Symphony.

Timmerman Hill Accident Causes Pileup At approximately 12:46 p.m., Friday, July 20, deputies from the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office responded to a three-vehicle crash at State Highway 75 and milepost 101, near the Timmerman Rest Stop area south of Bellevue.

According to a witness report, two cars facing north on Highway 75 had come to a full stop waiting for upcoming traffic to allow the first vehicle to turn into the rest stop area. The third vehicle was unable to stop in time and struck the first two vehicles from behind.

James J. Moudy, 34, of Jerome, was the lead vehicle in a blue and white 1992 Ford F150.

Moudy’s vehicle was struck from behind by Eva L. Coker, 53, of Twin Falls, when her vehicle, a white 2017 Ram Promaster cargo van, was struck from behind by Rayne R. Reynold, 17, of Jerome, driving a 2000 black Mazda. The collision forced Coker’s vehicle into Moudy’s vehicle.

All occupants were wearing seatbelts. Coker was transported by Wood River Fire and Rescue ambulance for further evaluation, but was later released.

Reynold’s vehicle suffered moderate damage. Coker’s vehicle received considerable damage.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene. Moudy’s vehicle did not receive any visible damage.

Reynold was cited for following too close, I.C. 49-638.

eat and more heat continues to cover south-central Idaho as we move closer and closer to August. The fishing is fine, though, and the heat makes the rivers the best place to be on a daily basis. Wet wading is a joy, and the rivers running under the cottonwood forest canopy send waves of cool breezes up and down the river corridors.

Silver Creek is an early-andlate fishery for those anglers looking to catch the daily hatches and spinner falls. Trico and Baetis rule the mornings, while the evenings are the normal smorgasbord of bugs, including Baetis and Caddis. Anglers that want to stay and fish in the afternoons will find great fishing under the heat—just stay fully covered up with buffs, sun gloves and the like. The afternoons are all about Hoppers and Damselflies. The Hopper bite is really coming on strong. Once again, pink or tan bodies are the way to go.

The Big Wood and Upper Lost are fishing well. The reports of bigger fish this season are great.

The forage created by last year’s flooding has seemingly increased general fish sizes all over the place. Again, be early and fish late. Plan on Rusty Spinners and Caddis being mainstays out there. Dave’s Hoppers are an excellent choice in the afternoons.

Small attractors are also effective. Parachute Adams and Royal Trudes are excellent choices.

The Lower Lost River is slowly coming into fishing shape. A few Crane flies are around and plenty of Hoppers. A Hopper-Dropper setup is a good choice. Copper Johns, Prince Nymphs, San Juan Worms and small Baetis and Midge patterns make great droppers. If you go, the wading is still difficult. Wading belts are a must!

The South Fork of the Boise continues to fish well. What is happening depends on where you fish. On some sections, the fish will still respond to big foam flies like Salmonflies and other big Stoneflies. On other sections, Hoppers and Cicadas are bringing fish up. If you are floating the river, stop every once in a while and look at the streamside vegetation. If you are seeing big bugs, fish accordingly; if you are not, think about Hoppers and Cicadas.

It’s been a busy month thus far on the rivers, but that should all begin to ebb at the end of the month, so please remain patient and kind, and please treat your fellow angler how you would like to be treated.

Happy fishing, everyone!

WINNER! WINNER! CHICKEN DINNER!!!

T

BY FRAN JEWELL

his is about the power of competition in the multiple-dog household.

It can be your worst enemy or your best friend if you know how to make competition work for you.

I know only a few folks that do not have multiple dogs in their homes. Competition can lead to aggression in the worst cases, but the skilled knowledge of the owner can turn it into a tool for quick and gleeful obedience.

First, one must plan ahead to think about places where competition could become an issue. The door is the first thing that comes to mind. All my dogs want out the second the door opens. This can be very dangerous, especially if it is the front door that opens to a nearby busy street or out of the car at the vet.

I have everyone sit before I open the door.

The dog that sits first goes out first.

Getting out of the car at a trailhead, the dog who sits first gets a treat. During your hike, when you call the dogs, the one that gets back to you first gets the “chicken dinner.”

The more you practice this game, the faster they get at coming to you. Getting back into the car at a trailhead can be frustrating, but if the dog that gets in first gets a treat, pretty soon getting in becomes effortless on your part. If they all climb in quickly, then make the problem a little harder. They get in and then the one that lays down first gets the treat.

Right now I have a visiting Norwich terrier that is learning how to go potty on a grass pad. If he doesn’t go quickly, one of my dogs gets the treat he wants.

Barking at the front door can be a horrible situation in a multiple-dog household. Well, if one dog does not run and bark at the door,

that dog gets the treat. Imagine how quickly the others will stop barking and charging the door if they know that not barking and charging the door gets them a treat.

Food aggression can become a huge issue in multiple-dog households. I had a Labrador retriever training with me. When she turned 2, she decided she was going to growl and snap at any other dog that came near her bowl. This had to do with her maturity and confidence. The second she did that, I pushed her away from her bowl, then took her bowl of food and gave it to the dog she growled at. Imagine her surprise! She never did it again. This also meant I had to be supervising feeding time all the time. It also meant I had to have a relationship of respect with her already so I knew I could approach her without her reprisal.

The hard thing for we humans is that we always want things to be fair with all the

dogs. In the dog world, nothing is fair. It’s all about hierarchy. If I use that to my advantage by controlling food and giving treats only to the well-behaved dog, then very quickly I become a ridiculously powerful leader without much effort, and my pack begins to behave quite quickly.

With multiple dogs, human safety is always first. If I use competition between the dogs to my advantage, I can keep my pack motivated, happy and doing the things that keep me safe.

MEDITATIONS UPON MY HIKE IN THE WHITE CLOUDS: THE ROAD

I

BY LESLIE REGO

n the silent early morning, I drove up the Fourth of July Creek dirt road. Since the flooding of last year, the road has been repaired, but I was still being pitched back and forth with the washboard undulations. The sego lily glowed in the dawn light, the whites glinting through the lavender spots on the petals. The scorched bark of the trees appeared silver. The morning was full of drama within the barren landscape.

I love this road and I love it more since the fire in 2005. Fires often burn in a mosaic pattern, which I could easily see as I maneuvered my VW van. I passed through areas of heavy forest only to come out into open stretches of blackened trunks interspersed with lodgepole pine and aspen trees that have taken root. These saplings are anywhere from a few inches high to several feet. The soft greens of the needles and leaves, the bright lavenders of the lupine and the royal purples of the penstemon have a float-like quality. The thin charred trunks loom, acting as sentinels to the new growth.

Many of the fire-ravaged trees have striking shapes and I stop to draw a few of the outlines to memorialize the beauty in the burn. I have been reading “Meditations,” written by Marcus Aurelius (121 AD-180 AD). In book nine, Aurelius writes, “You can discard most of the junk that clutters your mind—things that exist only there— and clear out space for yourself: by comprehending the scale of the world; by contemplating infinite time; by thinking of the speed with which things change—each part of everything, the narrow space between our birth and death, the infinite time before, the equally unbounded time that follows.”

This meditation says it all. Within a space of a few hours, whilst the fired burned, the trees changed shape. The death of some of the trees brought on the birth of others, narrowing the space between the two extremes. Certainly this area has existed for ages, with slow and quick transformations happening within that time period. And well beyond my visits, sluggish or pell-mell, metamorphosis will prevail.

CARDINAL POINTS

I

BY HARRY WEEKES

have been in a 30-year conversation with Northern Cardinals that started in a meadow in Vermont in the late 1980s. There, I met my first one—an adult male, dangling helplessly in a mist net set up by my college field biology class.

“Red bird” was the cartoon claxon that sounded in my head, followed immediately by “cardinal”—a bird I knew, even though I didn’t. Some things are like that—moose and camels and giraffes all fall into that category of animals that I somehow knew before I’d met one in real life.

That first cardinal was ridiculously red and bore the big, thick beak of its kind. As I had previously spent 15 minutes freeing a black-capped chickadee, who took all of the time I was working to free it to peck every part of my hand, I approached the cardinal with a bit of nervousness. But the bird was quiet, even complacent, barely moving as I unwrapped it from the fine mesh. Holding a bird that color is mesmerizing. Like looking at a full moon, I did not quite know when to look away.

In the field, though, measurements completed is when you let the bird go. The bird, then, is gone— and you are invariably left frozen in that position that looks like you are still holding it. And so began our intermittent relationship.

For the past 20 years I have visited my wife’s family in Connecticut. Each summer, I have a “cardinal event.” When I share the meeting with virtually any local, the interaction is a study in disinterest. The conversation is simple, even stupid: “I saw a cardinal today.”

“Yeah, there are a lot of them around here.”

“It was bright red.”

“Yeah, that’s the male.”

“It was bright red. Like, completely red.”

“Yeah, that’s still the male.”

“Red.” Despite the indifferent treatment given by the vast majority of the native humans, who have grown accustomed to cardinals, my enthusiasm and excitement seem only to grow, almost like they are an important, yearly affirmation that something like this still exists.

This year, I was waiting. “When would it happen?”

I am familiar enough with the birds now to

know their whistles, and to identify the short and sharp repeated churr that sounds like an old car alarm, and which the mockingbirds repeat with comical and insistent exaggeration. I know the browner females and the immature males, both of which, despite their better camouflage, I see more often, and earlier. Eventually, though, it happens.

A bird explodes from the bushes, the red so vivid it makes the greens greener. This year, the bird came at me while I was driving—directly at the car in a couple of undulating pulses before it peeled off into the nearest hedge. I was left with a snapshot of its entire body, wings spread. The image in my mind happened in less than a tenth of a second, but it hangs there like a living still-life.

There is something important, even essential, about the fleeting nature of these encounters.

They are both continuity and transience, something both timeless and also immediate. I would harrumph a bit more about the bird’s local treatment, but the cardinal holds a record that no other bird does, one that reflects this dichotomy. While there is a kind of blasé familiarity, no other bird has been honored by as many states to be the State Bird. The cardinal holds that distinction at seven. Nicely done, red bird. Nicely done.

he Federal Housing Administration, operating under HUD, offers affordable mortgages for tens of thousands of buyers who may not qualify for other types of programs. They are popular with both first-time and repeat buyers.

The 3.5 percent down payment is an attractive feature, but there are other advantages: • More tolerant for credit challenges than conventional mortgages.

• Broader qualifying ratios – total house payment with MIP (Mortgage Insurance Premium) can be up to 31 percent of borrower’s monthly gross income and total house payment with all recurring debt can be up to 43 percent. There is a stretch provision taking it to 33/45 for qualifying energy-efficient homes.

• Seller can contribute up to 6 percent of purchase price; this money must be specified in the contract and can be used to pay all or part of the buyer’s closing costs, prepaid items and/or buy down of the interest rate.

• Self-employed may qualify with adequate documentation – two years’ tax returns and a current profit-and-loss statement would be required in addition to the normal qualifying and underwriting requirements.

• Liberal use of gift monies – borrowers can receive a gift from family members, buyer’s employer, close friend, labor union or charity. A gift letter will be required specifying that the gift does not have to be repaid.

• Special 203(k) program for buying a home that needs capital improvements – requires a firm contractor’s bid attached to the contract calling for the work to be done. The home is appraised subject to the work being done. If approved, the home can close, the money for the improvements escrowed and paid when completed.

• Loans are assumable at the existing interest rate with buyer qualification. Assumptions are easier than qualifying for a new mortgage and closing costs are lower.

• An assumable mortgage with a lower than current rates for new mortgages could add value to the property.

Finding the best mortgage for an individual is not always an easy process. Buyers need good information from trusted professionals. Call (208) 309-1329 for a recommendation of a trusted lender who can help you.

TUSCANY ON TENTH

Boulder Mountain Clayworks to hold annual fundraiser

BY YANNA LANTZ

B

oulder Mountain Clayworks will hold its eighth annual Tuscany on Tenth from 6-9 p.m. Thursday, July 26. The fundraising event benefits the nonprofit art studio.

“Boulder Mountain Clayworks provides inspiring clay experiences for all ages and enhances our community through educational programs, creative outlets and community events,” said director Lauren Street. “Susan Ward was the founder, who recently passed, and her dream was to open a pottery studio.

She opened this studio as a hobby and it has turned into a pretty incredible nonprofit.”

Street is thankful to Ward, who was a well-known artist, for helping mold her path at Boulder Mountain Clayworks.

“Ceramics is such a small niche, and Susan really provided a career for me,” she said. “I got a BFA in ceramics, and to be able to do something in my career here, I’m so grateful. I’m so thankful for Susan finding me. My job is to keep her torch burning.”

After 21 years in business, the studio has seen many changes.

“We’ve touched thousands of people,” Street said. “In addition to our own programs that we provide for the community, we now have children’s classes, camps, throwing, sculpture for all ages, family classes and we also partner with tons of other nonprofits.”

Coined “not your typical fundraiser,” Tuscany on Tenth is an energetic evening for attendees.

“It is full of action—there’s a lot of activities going on and you get to participate in glazing and firing abandoned pottery that has been left here over the years,” said Street. “You don’t need any experience, and it really showcases what your dollars go toward.”

The evening will also feature a build-and-bid.

The evening will feature demonstrations, a build-and-bid, and live and silent auctions. Photo courtesy of Boulder Mountain Clayworks

“Someone will be demonstrating, and people can bid on whatever they are making,” Street said. “We also have a silent auction of primarily ceramic pieces—whether it’s pottery or sculpture. And our live auction features a ski pass from Sun Valley Company. For a package, I’m making some dinnerware, The Haven will do some hors d’oeuvres and Hank and Sylvie’s will make a birthday cake.

Then we have some fabulous big sculpture pieces to bid on that were made by Susan Ward and Rachel Stevens.”

Street hopes that the event will help raise funds for the studio’s operating costs and the organization’s new expansion next door.

“We are busting at the seams in our studio and we just don’t have enough room for the work

or the people to do what they need to do,” Street said. “We need a place for our members to work during the busy times, so since we have this space next door, we want to use it.”

Street believes in the importance of visual arts and clayworks.

“The arts are very beneficial to everyone’s soul, whether they know it or not,” she said. “Ceramics is a very tangible art form. It starts out with a blob, or a lump of clay, and you can throw something that you eat out of or a sculpture that lasts forever.”

Tickets are $60 and are available at bouldermtnclay.org.

Missing Teeth

BY DR. ROBERT CUNNINGHAM

Q

. I’m missing a couple of teeth in the back of my mouth. They don’t show and I still seem to chew okay. I have been told that I should seriously consider replacing them. What do you think, oh wise one?

A. Did you know that the average American adult between the ages of 20 and 64 has three or more decayed or missing teeth? If you are missing one or more teeth, there are some very good reasons to correct the problem. For one thing, a large space between your teeth may affect how you speak or eat. Even if it is not noticeable, the teeth slowly shift, making chewing more difficult. This can happen so slowly you hardly notice it, but bone loss, gum recession, sensitivity and TMJ many times are the result.

With today’s advances, you don’t have to suffer from missing teeth. You have options:

gum (periodontal) disease.

• Implants. Most similar to a natural tooth.

SPONSOR THIS PUZZLE!

Blood Drive To Be Held Wednesday

The Weekly Sun Is Currently Looking For A Person Or Business To Sponsor Our Popular Sudoku Puzzle

The American Red Cross and St. Luke’s Wood River Volunteer Core Board will hold a blood drive from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 25, in the Baldy and River Run Conference Rooms at St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center, Ketchum.

Donations are urgently needed now to help ensure blood types A, B and O are in steady supply.

Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood—and that need is urgent now. But for the past four years, the number of new Red Cross donors declined by about 80,000 each year. Less than 38 percent of the population is eligible to give and only about 3 percent of the population donates blood.

Blood is essential for surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this life-saving care starts with one person making a generous donation.

“In the hour it takes to donate blood, you can help save the lives of patients in your community and across the country,” said Teresa Laird and Cheri Watson, SLWR Volunteer Core Board Blood Drive Committee co-chairs.

To make an appointment, use the Red Cross blood donor app, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-(800)-REDCROSS. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood donors can save time by completing a RapidPass on the day of donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To complete a RapidPass, follow the instructions at redcrossblood.org/RapidPass.

How To Play Sudoku The Classic Sudoku is a number placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once.

Wine Spectator “Award of Excellence” Given To Idaho Restaurants Two Sun Valley resort restaurants, The Ram and The Roundhouse, have been awarded the prestigious Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence. Il Naso in Ketchum was also awarded the Award of Excellence for the fifth year, along with Capital Cellars, Richards and Fork in Boise, and Bella Aquilla in Eagle.

The award recognizes restaurants with wine offerings from quality producers that match their menu at both style and price. This year, 2,453 restaurants achieved the respected certification from the magazine that is considered to be the authority in the industry, as well as to consumers, when it comes to wine awards and ratings.

“We are honored to be recognized by such a renowned wine publication, highlighting our extensive wine cellar,” said Michelle LeMarr, Sun Valley Resort’s sommelier and beverage manager. “We strive to provide the best guest experience with our menu and wine selections, so this designation by Wine Spectator confirms our dedication to that.”
