SOLDIER MOUNTAIN SOLD TO OREGON COUPLE

New owners intend to operate resort this snow season

BY MARIA PREKEGES

L

ess than three weeks after being advertised for sale, Soldier Mountain Ski Area north of Fairfield in Camas County has been sold to an Oregon couple. The new owners intend to operate the resort this snow season, but opening depends upon several factors, including this season’s snowfall.

“It has been an absolute whirlwind of things to do for transition, and an extremely tight time frame to transfer ownership, and prepare for a great ski season,” said new owner Matt McFerran from Bend, Ore. “Fortunately, there is a lot of help on the ground here in Fairfield.

“With the guidance, experience, help, and input of employees, the previous board members, and the community here in Fairfield, we will be up

and running shortly,” McFerran said. “Every day there is progress made on the dozens of tasks needed, from snowcat purchase, haul-rope inspection, liquor license, staffing, insurance, Forest Service leases and more.”

The McFerrans were able to purchase the resort for $149,000, which was the price placed on the resort by the former nonprofit ownership group and was based upon the resort’s outstanding debt.

After being advertised for sale on Oct. 15, the ownership group received nearly 2,400 inquiries from throughout the world. Current mountain manager Don Schiermeier said the McFerrans were selected from a group of finalists because the couple seemed to be the “right fit for the resort.”

“Awesome; I think they’re going to do a great job,” Schiermeier said. “They’ve got lots of

energy and plans for the future. They’re going to live right by the mountain and I think they’re going to be a great asset.”

Schiermeier said the selection process “took a bit.”

“We had five potential buyers at the end, and I think the experience Matt has from running the cat program at Bachelor [Mt.

Harley Robert Park is shown here as an inmate at the Gooding County jail following his arrest in 2003 on a Camas County first-degree murder charge.

DEFENDANT DEEMED MENTALLY COMPETENT FOR TRIAL Court ruling based on mental evaluation in Camas County murder case

J

BY TERRY SMITH

udge Robert J. Elgee has ruled that the defendant in a 12-year-old Camas County murder case is now mentally competent enough to stand trial.

Elgee’s ruling regarding 37-year-old Harley Robert Park, who is charged with first-degree murder, came Monday in Blaine County 5th District Court. The judge earlier ordered that jurisdiction in the Park case be transferred from Camas County to Blaine County because Camas County lacks facilities for a lengthy jury trial.

The ruling was based on a mental evaluation conducted by Dr. Robert Engle, a Boise psychotherapist, who submitted a report to court on Nov. 2 with a finding that Park is now mentally competent enough to assist with his defense for a jury trial.

Park is charged in the beating death on Sept. 3, 2003, of 61-year-old Camas County businessman Lynn Stevenson at a nine-hole golf course Stevenson owned near Soldier Mountain ski resort north of Fairfield. A report filed then by Camas County Sheriff Dave Sanders states that Park admitted to killing Stevenson by repeatedly punching and kicking him because Park said he believed Stevenson was “the devil.”

Police reports further described Park as “a drifter” who had been staying and working at the golf course.

Park had spent most of the last 12 years committed by court order to the State Hospital South mental facility in Blackfoot. He was discharged from the hospital in April after doctors with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare determined that his

BRIEFS

mental condition had improved.

He is currently being held without bond at the Elmore County Jail in Mountain Home because Camas County does not have a jail.

Dr. Engle was commissioned by the court in June to conduct an evaluation of Park’s current mental fitness because the judge, defense and prosecution wanted another professional opinion.

A jury trial was earlier scheduled to begin in December but was cancelled because of a delay in receiving the evaluation report from Engle. A trial is now scheduled to begin on Feb. 22, 2016, and is expected to last five days.

On Oct. 19, Elgee ruled favorably on a motion filed by the Idaho Attorney General’s Office, which has been appointed as special prosecutor in the case, requesting that the fact of Park’s involuntary mental commitment for the past 12 years be withheld from a jury and arguing that disclosure of the information at trial would be prejudicial to the state’s case.

Elgee’s order on the motion bars “any testimony and evidence regarding Mr. Park’s placement since the time of the crime” from being presented at trial. Elgee is also to instruct the jury not to speculate or discuss the lapse of more than 12 years of when Park was charged with the crime and the start of trial.

The prosecution further argued that Park’s involuntary commitment “is not relevant in proving the elements of the case.”

Hailey attorney Douglas Nelson, appointed as public defender, has filed notice with the court that he will use a “mental illness defense” at trial. tws

LEARN HOW TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE GOVERNMENT

The Idaho Transportation Department will host a free workshop on Wednesday, Nov. 18, on “basic guidelines for doing business with the government.”

FIRST SNOW

sparkles off of both the snow and the stubborn autumn leaves that insist they still have a few days left to shine.

It has snowed most of the day, whitening the mountainsides.

Every moment has been varied by the intensity of the snowfall or by the size of the snowflakes.

At first, distinct shapes of fallen branches and stones remain on the ground and, as the day passes, these shapes transform themselves into mounds and then into gentle lumps as the snow fills in around the forms.

And even as the landscape becomes more and more a wintry scene, those yellow leaves still continue to peek out amongst the shades of white, poking fun at winter.

very year it seems that autumn comes to an abrupt end with the first snowfall.

One day I am shuffling through the fallen leaves and the next day I am traipsing through the snow.

There is always something magical about the first snowfall, but when the snow is mixed in with bright yellow leaves peeking through the white, it is just plain fun.

The snow settles on the leaves, creating little caps that sprout all over the tree. On the birch trees, the weight of the snow causes the leaves to dip lower, making waterfalls of leaves and snow held together by delicate lace-like twigs.

The bits and pieces of yellow that appear through the white Leslie Rego is an artist and are like small stained-glass win- Blaine County resident. To view dows that grace the winter scene. more of Rego’s art, visit www.

ou have nothing to lose except your future, your kids’ future, and your grandkids’ future, and…

Hope for the world was in court in August when 21 kids, ages 8 to 19, and a co-plaintiff, James E. Hansen, filed a federal lawsuit claiming that the nation’s fossil fuel policies violate their constitutional rights. Defendants include President Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, the U.S. Departments of Energy/Interior/Transportation/Agriculture/ Defense, and the Environmental Protection Agency.

The complaint reads: “Defendants have for decades ignored their own plans for stopping the dangerous destabilization of our nation’s climate system… Defendants have known of the unusually dangerous risk of harm to human life, liberty, and property that would be caused by continued fossil fuel use and increased (carbon dioxide) emissions.”

One of the primary instigators of the suit, 15-year-old Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, of Boulder, Colo., is youth director of Earth Guardians, a nonprofit that encourages young people to connect and become involved in environmental activism.

Martinez said, “As young people, we have the advantage that the world will listen to us more so than adults because we’re vulnerable and we’re innocent. The biggest challenge we face is shifting human consciousness, not saving the planet. Because the planet doesn’t need saving; we do.”

Wow! The biggest challenge is shifting human consciousness. Think of that. Perhaps all that thinking and shifting (and some other interesting and fun things, as well) my generation did in the ’60s has not been entirely ignored, at least by kids. When my generation was 15, human consciousness and saving the planet were not terms we knew, much less topics of discussion.

Jayden Foytlin, 12, of Rayne, La., said, “Our government seems to care more about money for fossil fuel industry than for our futures.

But money isn’t going to Courtesy photo matter if we can’t fix our Dick Dorworth is a Blaine County planet.”

Kiran Oommen, 19, of resident, author and former world Eugene, Ore., said, “Our record holder for speed on skis. government refuses to Visit his website and blog at dickprotect our basic rights to dorworth.com. life. If those we have put in power aren’t protecting our necessities, what purpose are they serving?”

Good question – a human consciousness-shifting one for those up to the challenge. Among those who are, co-plaintiff James E. Hansen is well known for his research in climatology. An adjunct professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Columbia University, Hansen retired from a 46-year career with NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies in 2013. His testimony before Congress in 1988 raised public consciousness about global warming. He later reported that NASA administrators attempted to influence his public statements about the causes of climate change.

Hansen appeared on 60 Minutes to say that the George W. Bush White House had edited climate-related press releases reported by federal agencies to make global warming seem less threatening. He has both written and said that fossil fuel company executives should be put on trial for “…high crimes against humanity and nature” for actively spreading doubt and misinformation about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies tried to hide the link between smoking and cancer.

Hansen, an excellent and honest scientist, has tried to raise the consciousness of supposedly responsible adults, from Congress to NASA to the world press to the executives of large corporations. Now he has teamed up with kids – the last, best future hope of shifting consciousness and saving humanity. tws

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR novembeR 11 FRom picabo angleR

W

inter conditions have begun to prevail in the Sun Valley area and, therefore, winter fishing techniques move to the forefront of the local angling agenda. Fishing hours have shifted toward the lunchtime-to-dinnertime window and techniques vary with the day.

Anglers need to be prepared to be versatile. Fishing dries, nymphs and streamers are all necessary for the highest catch rates despite the fly selection moving to a seasonal low. The dry flies you need to have in stock include Baetis, Griffiths Gnats and Tie-Down Midges.

Nymph selections should include Zebra Nymphs in black or red, Copper Johns, Prince Nymphs, Hares Ears, Girdle Bugs and Pheasant Tails. Streamer boxes should have plenty of olive colors, and some black offerings, as well. If you are fishing the Creek, have some articulated streamers.

On Silver Creek, the brown trout are getting toward the tail end of their spawn. They should come off their redds hungry and aggressive. Some may be tired and skinny after the spawn, so please handle them gently. Late in the day, when things warm, anglers are still finding some Baetis and Midge hatches on the Nature Conservancy waters.

The Lost River is running low and the fishing is o.k. The low flows are making the game a bit harder to play than what most anglers are used to on the Lost, but it’s still a fun challenge.

Be ready for Midge and Baetis activity up until Thanksgiving.

Move slowly in the water and concentrate on structure and deep water.

The Big Wood is such an awesome winter fishery – it is hard to go anywhere else! We begin our holiday guide rates this month, so give us a shout if you want a guide with you. Our guides have been bringing a lot of fish to the net lately. Nymphing has been the game as of late, but streamer anglers are going to catch a lot of fish, as well.

The South Fork of the Boise probably has the last great hatches for the season. Baetis in the late afternoon, when the temperature gets above 40 degrees, can blanket the river. These days are waning, though, so have a good nymph selection as well.

As always, please check road conditions before you commit to the Lost or the South Fork.

Have fun, dress warm and enjoy the beautiful setting along the river corridors right now.

Happy fishing, everyone!

101 FUN ACTIVITIES FOR YOU WITH YOUR DOG!

BY FRAN JEWELL

W

inter is here and some of the activities we normally do with our dogs need to change. But, that’s the fun of having a dog. There are a ton of new things (and some old activities) that can give your dog not only the physical, but the mental, exercise he needs.

So often we think of physical exercise as the most important thing for our dogs, but mental exercise is just as vital for any dog.

Some of the items I am going to discuss take more training/learning on the part of you and your dog than others. So, the best thing to do is to try them on and see if you AND your dog like them. Some activities, like tracking, are natural for many breeds because a dog’s nose is so marvelous. Other activities are faster paced for faster, stronger dogs.

Most activities don’t require that your dog be AKC registered to participate in formal events, but now AKC does allow you to register your mixed-breed dogs so they can participate in competitive events at many dog shows. If you are the competitive type, this might be a great option for you.

If being in the great outdoors is your thing, there are activities for that, as well. During the next couple of weeks I am going to focus on a variety of different dog sports and activities that can enrich both your lives. There are some things that work well for older dogs with limited physical ability to help them stay in shape physically and mentally, and, some things that work well no matter what the age of your dog.

Scent work is something any dog of any age can do. I start my dogs for competitive tracking when they are puppies – only nine weeks old! And my oldest dog, Mavis, can still do scenting activities even though she is almost 14 and has some arthritis. Not all scent work has to be competitive. It can be for fun, or with a noble purpose in mind such as search and rescue or HDR (human remains detection). Snow is no problem for scenting games, since moisture actually enhances scent for dogs. Very little equipment is required for scenting games, and it can be done almost everywhere – even on your daily walks!

In contrast, skijoring [a dog towing someone on skis] should only be done with large, strong dogs that have a solid physical structure so they don’t get injured while pulling the skier. There are pieces of expensive equipment necessary. And a dog needs to be taught directional signals so they know which way to go or when to stop and start.

Skijoring can be a bit more limiting for participants.

We also need to think about the winter safety of your dog, just like we pay attention to summer safety.

Some of the sports and activities I will focus on are skijoring and sledding, barn hunts, tracking and searching, rally, agility, indoor at-home activities, K-9 NoseWorks, and freestyle dancing.

Since tracking is my personal favorite, I am a certified NADOI tracking instructor, and I LOVE all scent work! Next week we will look more in depth at how you can in-

CAULKING AND WEATHERSTRIPPING YOUR HOME

BY SARAH BUSDON

Caulking and Weatherstripping Your Home In a well-insulated home, air leaks are the greatest cause of wasted heating and cooling energy. Caulking and weatherstripping are effective ways to rid your home of costly drafts. Keep in mind that heat always moves toward cold areas. During winter, heated homes leak warm air to the outdoors through cracks and crevices.

How do I check a home for air leaks?

When looking for drafts around your windows, check the outside for any sign of caulking that has cracked or peeled. Check inside for leaks using a lit incense stick or a draft-checker, made with tissue paper or threads and a metal clothes hanger. On a windy day, move the draft-checker around windows, doors, electrical outlets, ceiling fixtures, attic hatches, etc., where there’s a possible air path to the outside. Air movement around these spots could mean there’s an air leak that may need caulking, sealing, or weatherstripping.

Where should I caulk and seal?

In addition to window and door areas, you should caulk and seal air leaks where plumbing,

ductwork, fans, or where electrical wiring penetrates through exterior walls, floors, and ceilings.

With new or existing homes, install rubber gaskets behind outlet and switch plates on exterior walls.

When do my doors need weatherstripping?

Weatherstripping around exterior doors can be checked with a flashlight. Outside the closed door, move the flashlight slowly around the door edge. If a helper inside the house can see light shining in, weatherstripping is needed. Use quality weatherstripping that will last multiple years and that can be securely attached.

Can I seal a gap under my door without replacing the door?

Yes. Door sweeps, thresholds, and door shoes are good ways to seal gaps under exterior doors.

A door sweep can be used on a door with no threshold. A gasket threshold replaces an existing threshold and can be attached to the floor directly under the door.

ITD ANNOUNCES START OF BRIDGE WORK

Preliminary work is set to start later this month on a new bridge over the Big Wood River near St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center south of Ketchum.

The Idaho Transportation Department announced in a press release that tree removal and utility work will begin in mid-November in approach areas to the bridge on State Highway 75.

Drivers should expect “minor impacts,” including lane closures between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., while work is in progress. The work is expected to be finished by the end of December.

Actual construction is planned to start in early 2016 and to be completed in 2017.

When finished, the new bridge will have four lanes, safety median, and wider shoulders than the existing structure. The new bridge will blend into the four-lane highway configuration to the north and south.

The bridge replacement project is the second phase of a Highway 75 expansion project. The first phase, the widening of a 3.25-mile section of highway south of the bridge, was completed in 2014.

COMMUNITY SCHOOL TO RELOCATE RESIDENTIAL DORM

Community School intends to relocate its student residential dormitory from its current location in Warm Springs to the Smith Sport Optics building in north Ketchum.

The private school in Sun Valley completed purchase of the building at 280 Northwood Way in late October.

A schedule for relocation of the residential program has not been determined.

“I look forward to working with our building committee and members of the surrounding community on the next series of steps to adapt the space to meet the needs of our residential program and the surrounding neighborhood,” said Head of School Ben Pettit.

Community School’s residential program was founded in 2011 to house students from other counties, states and countries who attend the school for academic or athletic reasons. The current dormitory, located in the Bald Mountain Inn building, houses 20 students.

With 25,085 square feet of space, the Smith building provides more than double the area of the existing dormitory and will allow Community School to expand its residential program.

THE HUNGER COALITION

Making a difference one meal at a time

Wood River High School junior Malila Freeman has a thirst for learning.

MALILA FREEMAN Passionate about compassion

BY JONATHAN KANE

ood River High School junior Malila Freeman has an unending thirst to understand how the world works and is passionate about compassion.

“I’m interested in anything that helps me discover how things fit together, relate to each other and how people help each other, whether that be through psychology, economics, Compassionate Young Leaders or community service,” Freeman said.

“I try to put as much effort as possible into my school work because it’s so important. I also try to reach out to as many groups of people as I can and try to have friends from as many places and backgrounds as possible.”

Freeman’s attitude about learning is reflected in her grade point average, which stands at 4.1.

“I really like school a lot,” she said. “Not the stressful part, but learning itself. My friends and I like to talk about how the learning part is fascinating and opens so many doors.

“I love getting to the point where different subjects relate to each other. You know and understand one thing in one discipline and then you add that to something that you knew before from another discipline.”

Freeman said her favorite subject is English, and she enjoys writing nonfiction the most.

“I like to analyze books and write research papers by incorporating my own personal opinion,” she said. “Last year I really got into a paper on industrial agriculture, mainly because my family has an organic farm, so that really interested me.”

This year, Freeman was accepted into the Compassionate Young Leaders program and she hopes to travel to India in the spring with the group. She describes the program as “encouraging people

to encompass, acknowledge and respect different ways of life and cultures and use those to enrich your own life.”

Freeman is one of 30 high school juniors in the program.

Some of them will be traveling to the Philippines as well as India.

“I’ve talked to a lot of students that have already gone and they talked about their adventures and culture shock, but they all said it was the best thing they have ever or will ever experience,” she said.

“It will be amazing to get exposed to the uniqueness of another culture and experiencing how they live. And then to be able to help them in an unconventional way will give us a deeper level of integration.”

The Compassionate Young Leaders meet as a group on Tuesday evenings to practice “mindfulness” and to discuss humanitarian issues.

“Mindfulness is a form of meditation where you learn to blank your mind and become more reflective and calm,” Freeman said.

“It’s hard for me as I start out and then there are moments where it clicks and those moments feel so right and natural.”

As part of the program, Freeman is required to fundraise and perform 100 hours of community service. Part of the community service will be through her work as a dancer with Footlight Dance Centre and the lecture demonstrations the Centre does at schools.

“It’s so cool to see how kids react to a live performance in front of them,” she said. “I love giving back to the community and seeing how much of a difference you are making.” tws

veryone knows the face of hunger, even if we don’t always recognize it.

That’s because hunger, and the hard times that can lead to it, can hit just about anyone of any age or ethnicity, especially in these challenging financial times.

Of course, it would seem like glorious ski towns like Sun Valley would be immune to such troubles, but that is far from the case. Resort communities, which are known for seasonal-based work, lack of professional jobs and high living and food costs, can often be extremely challenging for families. In fact, a stunning 80 percent of Wood River Valley families that The Hunger Coalition in Bellevue helps feed have at least one person in the household working.

But our Valley is not alone.

When our first Thanksgiving as parents approached, my wife and I found ourselves living in a ski town in the Sierra Nevada. We had no family locally and the friends we had celebrated Turkey Day with before were all out of town that year. But when we tried to figure out how much we had to spend on feeding ourselves for the holiday, we realized that, despite both of us working, the hospital bills and increased cost of raising a child, coupled with the slower work of the slack season, had pushed us to the max— and then a bit beyond. We were

stressed, exhausted and too embarrassed to reach out for help.

As the holiday approached, it appeared there would be no turkey dinner for our little family.

Then, a couple of days before Thanksgiving, we came home from work to find a large box on our doorstep. It was full of the fixings for a Thanksgiving dinner and a note from a local church that someone had anonymously donated a Thanksgiving dinner for us.

Some friends wound up inviting us over for the holiday dinner after all, but we did make ourselves a Thanksgiving dinner out of the donation the next day.

It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

This Chamber Corner is brought to you by the Hailey Chamber of Commerce.

It was just one meal, but it made a big difference. It didn’t just help fill our bellies, it helped fill us back up with hope and faith in our community.

We may not know exactly what the face of hunger looks like, but we know what a hero looks like.

It looks a lot like you.

The Hunger Coalition is accepting donations for “Thanksgiving Baskets” for local families in need of a little help. It only costs $35 to feed a small family.

column movie review

‘STEVE JOBS’ Portrait of a genius

BY JONATHAN KANE

S

teve Jobs, the impresario behind Apple, changed the world as we know it. Now we have the excellent film “Steve Jobs” that gives a multidimensional portrait of the man and his demons.

Much of the discussion of the film revolves around its screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin (“The West Wing” and “The Social Network”), whose stamp is firmly placed on the project. Sorkin has woven a complex portrait full of psychological intrigue as to what drove Jobs’ genius, from his being adopted to his complex relationship with his daughter that he struggled to recognize as his own.

But make no mistake; at its heart, “Steve Jobs” is a very entertaining movie and that is due as much to its script as to its direction by Danny Boyle and to its tremendous performances –

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

especially Michael Fassbender as Jobs.

Sorkin has written a three-act play with each act taking place on the morning of a product launch.

The first, in 1984, is the launch of the Macintosh. The second, in 1988, is after Jobs has left Apple to introduce the NeXT computer.

And, finally, in 1998, he triumphantly returns and launches the iMac. At the heart of each act is Jobs’ relationship with his daughter, but there are also his relationships with the principal players in his life: Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak; Jeff Daniels as the chairman of his board; and Kate Winslet as his director of marketing. It’s through these relationships that the prism of Jobs’ complicated life is seen and the extremes of his personality are witnessed.

The story is easily followed, from the board intrigue to the geekier aspects of the film. Be-

This well-loved duo counts The Beatles, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan as their key treasured influences.

Premium seating for Dala is $50 for Center members, $60 for nonmembers and $30 for students 18 and under. Standard seating is $25 for members, $35 for nonmembers and $15 for students. Prices do not include taxes or processing fees. To purchase seats, visit sunvalleycenter.org or call 208-726-9491.

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12

7PM / MAGIC LANTERN CINEMA / KETCHUM Inspired by a curiosity about humanity’s careless habit of sending copious amounts of food straight to landfills, the multi award-winning documentary DIVE! follows filmmaker Jeremy Seifert and friends as they dumpster dive in Los Angeles supermarkets’ back alleys and gated garbage receptacles. As they salvage thousands of dollars’ worth of perfectly edible food, Seifert instinctively considers who else might be interested: the hungry.

This eye-opening film, which is equal parts entertainment, guerilla journalism and call to action, will be screened by the Local Food Alliance at Magic Lantern Cinema. A portion of online ticket sales will benefit The Hunger Coalition.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $6 or “name your price” and $8 at the door. For advance tickets go to everyeventgives.com/event/dive. For more information about DIVE! visit divethefilm.com.

WHY IMMUNIZE? R. DELGADO, M.D., INTERNAL MEDICINE, ST. LUKE’S WOOD RIVER

I

mmunizations can save your and your children’s life. Children still get vaccine preventable diseases.

Outbreaks over the last few years of both measles and pertussis (whooping cough) have led to numerous child deaths and could have been prevented by pursuing immunizations.

Adults 18-64 compromise 60 percent of hospitalizations related to influenza, but on average only about 40 percent of this population receives the flu vaccine. Over 4,000 Americans died from influenza last year and those deaths were preventable. People will use seatbelts to avoid fatalities, but many avoid vaccines, which could potentially save their lives.

Immunizations save your family time and money. A child with a vaccine-preventable disease will likely miss school or be denied entrance into a daycare. This may lead to loss of time and wages from work for parents, medical bills/ follow-up doctor visits and an increase in the likelihood of another family member/co-worker also contracting the illness.

Vaccines are safe and effective. Vaccines undergo prolonged and rigorous clinical trials regarding their safety and potential to do harm prior to ever being approved for human use. While some serious reactions may occur, they are exceedingly rare. The benefits of disease prevention far outweigh 14

Cam & Beav present another fun night of music in the Wood River Valley! Yaquina Bay out of Oregon will be gracing the stage at the Sun Valley Brewery. Distorted keys and guitar, sweeping violins and a thunderous rhythm section, the band sculpts a wall of sound praised for its intoxicating melodies and grandiose arrangements. Led by vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Chris Ward, Yaquina Bay speaks of heartbreak and joy, permanence and instability.

Also playing are local favorites Sheep Bridge Jumpers and the powerful Izzy Taylor. Tickets are $5 at the door for this 21+ show; money goes directly to the bands and helping out with the creative struggle.

any potential risks related to side effects from vaccinations.

Vaccines offer protection into the future. With vaccinations, many diseases and their manifestations have not only been significantly reduced, but completely eradicated in some instances. People forget that only a generation ago polio, smallpox and measles led to many more deaths and permanent disabilities. These diseases have been essentially eradicated by vaccinations. Failure to continue to vaccinate will lead to a potential return of these maladies.

It’s your life. We help you live it.

The talent and breadth of work Keith Moore has brought to the stages of the Wood River Valley knows no bounds. From the traditions of “A Christmas Carol” to revered contemporary works such as “God of Carnage” and the comedy “Lend Me a Tenor,” Moore has not only presented his acting talent for all to see, but has also shared his gift with many kids and adults who have strutted across the Valley stages and continue to do so.

As a card-carrying Actor’s Equity, SAG and AFTRA member, Moore has had to take time out for another drama in his life. For the last five years, he has been battling Stage 4 colon cancer and is now participating in a Phase 2 clinical trial at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. His treatments involve traveling to the Big Apple every three weeks for a year or more.

In an effort to combat costs, there will be a “doubleheader” fundraiser. At 6 p.m., there will be “Keith’s Cure Painting Party: Art–n–Spirits,” featuring John Lewis’ amazing teaching skills, spirits and slapping paint on canvas—no experience needed. Participants will leave with a piece of art they created themselves. This part of the evening is $40 per person and a reservation is required. To make a reservation, email John Lewis at fishbigwood@gmail.com.

At 7:30 p.m., the public is invited to join the party for a “Host, Roast and Toast” party to honor Moore with appetizers and a no-host bar. A raffle and silent auction will take place, which will feature some one-of-a-kind items. Expect some surprises throughout the evening, as well – after all, it is a theatre, so entertainment is paramount. For more information email Patsy Wygle at wyglemoore@gmail.com or call 208-721-7048.

The concert will be held at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theatre at the Community Campus in Hailey and is free to the public.

“We’re all really looking forward to this performance,” said Hershey, who has led the orchestra since 2011. “The music of the French masters is fun to play, and there’s something on the program for everyone in the audience to enjoy.”

A focal point of the concert is Bizet’s Symphony in C Major, which features local musician and Community School educator Paul Hartl on the oboe in the “Adagio” movement. Favorite pieces by SaintSaëns and Ravel will round out the program.

The orchestra performs three main concerts each year and also appears at community events across the Wood River Valley. Group performances are free to the public, but charitable donations are always welcome and appreciated. The orchestra is composed of more than 30 musicians of all ages and abilities, and new members are always welcome.

LOOK UP! – LEONID METEOR SHOWER TUES NOV 17 & WED NOV 18

MIDNIGHT / WOOD RIVER VALLEY SKY

November’s wonderful Leonid Meteor Shower happens every year at this time, as Earth crosses the orbital path of comet Tempel-Tuttle. The Leonid is produced by dust grains left behind by comet Tempel-Tuttle and generates up to 15 meteors per hour at its peak. In 2015, the peak night of the shower is expected from midnight to dawn on Wednesday morning.

The first quarter moon will set shortly after midnight, leaving fairly dark skies for what could be a good show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Leo, but can appear anywhere in the sky. Also, be sure to look for the planet Jupiter, which shines in front of the constellation Leo this year. Happy gazing!
