BY TERRY SMITH

A

lthough jurisdiction in a 12-year-old Camas County murder case has been transferred to Blaine County, Camas County is still left to foot the bill for a jury trial.

The case involves 37-yearold Harley Robert Park, who is charged with first-degree murder for allegedly beating Fairfield businessman Lynn Stevenson to death on Sept. 3, 2003 at a nine-hole golf course Stephenson owned near Soldier Mountain Ski Area north of Fairfield.

A jury trial is currently scheduled to begin on Feb. 22, 2016 in Blaine County 5th District Court in Hailey. The trial is expected to last five days.

While costs for a trial have not been estimated, Camas County Commissioner Ronald Chapman told The Weekly Sun on Tuesday that they will likely be in the “six figures” range.

“It’s going to be a heavy impact,” Chapman said.

Camas County, located west and south of Blaine County in southcentral Idaho, is one of the state’s least populous counties and has a current population of just over 1,100 residents. The county has a total budget for fiscal year 2016 of about $3.2 million.

Asked how Camas County can afford to pay for a trial, Chapman said: “We’ll work our way through it.”

Park, who had been court committed to the State Hospital South mental facility in Blackfoot for most of the past 12 years, is currently being held without bond at the Elmore County Jail in Mountain Home. He is being held there because Camas County does not have a jail.

Park was taken to the Mountain Home facility after being released from State Hospital South in April when doctors there determined that his mental condition had improved to the point that he could assist with his own defense at trial.

That was also the determination of Boise psychotherapist Dr. Robert Engle, who submitted a report to Blaine County 5th District Court on Nov. 2 following an independent evaluation.

Mental evaluations prior to 2015 had determined that Park was not sufficiently mentally capable of understanding the

A jury trial is scheduled to begin on Feb. 22, 2016 in Blaine County 5th District Court in Hailey in a first-degree murder case against 37-year-old Harley Robert Park.

charge against him or of assisting with his defense.

An investigative report completed in 2003 by the Camas County Sheriff’s Office states that Park told officers that he killed Stevenson because Stevenson was “the devil.”

Judge Robert J. Elgee, who presides over 5th District Court in both Blaine and Camas counties, ordered in August that jurisdiction in the Park case be transferred to Blaine County, with the primary reason given that Camas County lacks facilities for a lengthy jury trial.

Blaine County Commissioner Larry Schoen said Tuesday that Blaine County will likely pay for the trial and then be reimbursed

by Camas County.

The cost of a trial is dependent upon several factors, including duration and the number of state-funded expert witnesses.

Also influencing cost is location of the trial and whether or not jurors have to be brought from another area.

The Sarah Johnson murder trial, a Blaine County case that was heard in Boise, lasted about six weeks and cost Blaine County about $1 million. Found guilty in two counts of first-degree murder in 2005, Johnson is

currently serving two life sentences without the possibility of parole for murdering her parents in Bellevue on Sept. 2, 2003.

“Murder cases are expensive – it’s shocking how expensive they are,” Schoen said. “Which raises the question – how will a small county like Camas County be able to pay for a murder trial? This points to one of the problems of administering justice when you have a murder in a small county.”

The Idaho Association of Counties administers a Capital Crimes Defense Program that is funded by counties throughout the state and pays for the costs of trials when the state is seeking a death penalty. The fund is not useable by Camas County in the Park case because the Idaho Attorney General’s Office, which has been assigned as special prosecutor, did not file for a death penalty.

Camas County has already incurred significant costs over the past 12 years in the Park case for housing, medical and public defender expenses. The amount expended by the county thus far, however, was not available this week from the Camas County Clerk’s Office.

BRIEF

KETCHUM SELECTS NEW ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF

tws

The City of Ketchum announced Monday that longtime firefighter Tom Ancona has been selected as the city’s new assistant fire chief.

Ancona replaces Robbie Englehart, who recently retired.

Ancona first served as a volunteer firefighter and joined the Ketchum Fire Department as a captain in 2002. He moved to the Wood River Valley in 1984. Prior to that, he was a firefighter in Connecticut.

“Tom Ancona has been an exceptional fire service instructor for as long as I’ve known him, and has worked very hard on fire prevention through building inspections and code enforcement,” said Ketchum Fire Chief Mike Elle. “His appointment to the assistant chief/fire marshal position will help keep our citizens safer.”

Ancona has received 10 commendations from the city and was voted Firefighter of the Year in 1993.

KILLEBREW-THOMPSON GOLF TOURNAMENT BREAKS RECORDS

Annual event raises $950,000 for cancer research

BY DICK DORWORTH

O

Shrimp Vegetable Tempura / 2 Shrimp, Mixed Vegetables

Lunch Bento Boxes $9.95

rganizers of the Killebrew-Thompson Memorial Golf Tournament announced last week that this year’s cancer and leukemia research benefit event raised a record-breaking $950,000.

One of the largest cancer research fundraisers of its kind, the KTM is held annually in Sun Valley to raise money for cancer research at St. Luke’s Mountain States Tumor Institute in Boise and the Masonic Cancer Center of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. This year’s event was held Aug. 19-22.

The beauty of our event is in our supporters and their dedication to the cause.”

Served with Salad, California roll, and Garlic Rice

Dayna Buxton KTM executive director

Lunch: 11am-3pm Monday-Friday Dinner: 3-10pm 7 Days a Week NOW OPEN AT 310 MAIN STREET IN HAILEY Hailey: (208) 928-7111

Since its inception in 1976, the event has contributed more than $14.7 million to these research centers.

“Prior to 2015, our highest donation was $760,000 in 2006,” said KTM Executive Director Dayna Buxton. “Last year we reached $720,000 and this year marks our largest contribution in KTM history.

“The beauty of our event is in

our supporters and their dedication to the cause,” Buxton said regarding the success of this year’s event. “We tried not to make major changes because, quite frankly, there’s no reason to fix something that’s not broken.

“There was a renewed energy in the air and everyone was there for the right reason – to raise money for cancer research,” Buxton said.

He attributed the energy of the event to special guest speaker Eleonor Pruitt, a 14-year-old cancer survivor from Twin Falls.

“Eleonor shared her story with a room of more than 200 people about her fight against cancer at the age of 10,” Buxton said. “She was able to participate in a clinical research trial that the KTM funds help to support. Having this personal connection present at our event and showing our supporters where their generous donations go and how they are used to help save lives really gave hope and set a positive tone for this year’s fundraising efforts.”

The event is named for Payette, Idaho, native and Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew and for Danny Thompson, a friend and Minnesota Twins teammate of Killebrew. When Thompson was 26, he was diagnosed with leukemia.

Baseball great Harmon Killebrew helped found the Killebrew-Thompson Memorial Golf Tournament in 1976.

He continued to play professional baseball for the Twins until October 1976, only 10 weeks before he died of the disease.

Following Thompson’s death, Killebrew helped found the golf tournament, originally known as the Danny Thompson Memorial Golf Tournament, with his business partner, for Idaho U.S. Congressman Ralph Harding.

In 2006, Harding passed away, and Killebrew died of esophageal cancer in 2011. In dedication to Killebrew, the name of the tournament was changed to the Killebrew-Thompson Memorial Golf Tournament. tws

STUDENTS UNDERTAKE TRAIL CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT Community School seeks to improve creek ecosystem and habitat

BY MARIA PREKAGES

S

eventeen Community School students have embarked on a longterm project to restore the health of the Trail Creek ecosystem and habitat that borders the school campus in Sun Valley.

The project goal, undertaken by the Upper School Environmental Science Class, is to restore the creek’s riparian zone to a more natural state and create a plan that will lead to lasting improvements.

“We have a truly wonderful resource in Trail Creek that is of great value to our community,” said Community School science teacher Scott Runkel, who oversees the project. “From the great horned owl’s nest on campus to the trout that feed in the pools outside our classroom, they rely on our stewardship to exist.

“Reclaiming and restoring the riparian habitat along the school’s banks had become a priority as new construction, parking lot expansion and just general foot traffic and landscaping choices had reduced its amount and degraded its quality,” Runkel said. “The school has

an environmental vision statement; this project was in line with it.”

The project was started in September at the request of Head of School Ben Pettit. After conducting research and community outreach to gain support for the project, the students have tested the water quality of Trail Creek, taken measurements and photographs to establish baseline data on the creek’s current conditions and planted plugs of Baltic rush to control weeds.

“One of my goals is to get them out doing something that has a positive impact on the environment,” Runkel said.

“When Ben Pettit proposed to them the idea to investigate our riparian habitat, make recommendations on how to improve it and start the process of restoration, they decided to jump on it.

“It has been inspiring to see students recognize the value of this treasure, and then take the initiative and responsibility to improve and protect it for future generations,” Runkel said.

Seniors Ella Pepin and Kristian DeWolfe said the project has also been beneficial to the students.

“The riparian restoration drew me to

an overarching desire to be an environmental steward in all life’s aspects,” Pepin said. “We as a class, along with some visitors and supporters, discussed how this project made us feel. I think that no matter where life takes me or what path I may choose, this restoration project highlighted a perpetual awareness and appreciation for environmental restoration.”

“Being very interested in science, I did not know what to expect going into this project,” said DeWolfe. “The one thing I did know is that it would be a great impact on school and a very interesting learning opportunity. Learning about restoration projects like this got me very intrigued about the project as a whole, and it has also kept me driven to try to make an impact on the school and in the community.”

Assisting the students with their work have been Wood River Land Trust, the U.S. Forest Service and Trent Stumph, an environmental consultant with SawCourtesy photo. tooth Environmental Consulting.

HORNET’S NEST HANGING HIGH

cially if the form is high in the tree.

The shape of the nests is very graceful, although to me they always look a bit haphazard, as if paint were peeling off of the sides. I like the delicate-looking structures as they dangle precariously in the breeze and yet they are able to cling tenaciously in severe gusts of wind.

The color is anywhere from a soft gray to an ochre brown.

Some nests have ridges running around the diameter of the structure, much like the marks on a hand-thrown clay pot.

Others have an undulating and swirling pattern.

Hornets are very aggressive and very territorial. It is best to leave the nests alone, which is why the expression “do not kick the hornet’s nest” developed!

ornets’ nests abound during the summer but it is not until the leaves fall that the paper-like hives reveal themselves. This is a good time of year to look up and see the lovely outlines of branches against the sky and it is also a good time to see hornets’ nests suspended from the branches.

It would be easy to mistakenly identify the nests for late-autumn leaves, since they look like a cluster of brown leaves that cling stubbornly to the branch. They are large, football-shaped structures made from chewed-up wood mixed with the hornets’ saliva.

In wintertime, around the first frost, the nests are abandoned, and the next spring the hornets will build a completely new one in a new location. I enjoy studying the trees to see if I can Leslie Rego is an artist and pinpoint a nest. It is always a Blaine County resident.

ne has to be careful to discern the truth behind the news from even reputable media sources and the instantly available judgments on social networks. Nonetheless, I am dismayed by ubiquitous examples of a lack of civility that bombard even a casual observer.

One caveat: I am amazed at the positive effects of the Internet, a dissemination of information to faraway places and peoples.

Lest my readers think I am naive, let me assure you that I was a young woman in the ’60s and ’70s when even righteous and valid concerns often spilled over into emotional excess and violent repercussions, of innocent observers being manhandled by authority, and by the proponents of civil disobedience being punished far beyond assumed consequences. Images like the young girl weeping over the body of a classmate at Kent State still burn at the edges of my memory.

Today I am afraid of the lack of civility that arises, I think, both from a sense of anonymity and yet the immediate 15 “minutes” of fame engendered by the spotlight’s exposure. In my life I have learned that anonymity is not insured, even from the relative sanctuary of a keyboard in one’s Courtesy photo own home. Recent JoEllen Collins—a longtime sexting scandals resident of the Wood River make me sick with Valley—is a teacher, writer, a motherly concern fabric artist, choir member over the abuses and unabashedly proud of one of the most grandma known as “Bibi Jo.” sacred of human interactions and the reality that future consequences aren’t being considered.

Certainly no one can see people hurling insults and death threats in confrontations between those of contrasting beliefs without shuddering.

Political opinions are often shouted over to silence. Even on a small, personal basis, when I slowed down at an intersection that didn’t have a stop sign as a cyclist ran the stop sign on his side of the corner, he turned on me, yelling obscenities and flipping me “the bird.” I do admit to using bad language when frustrated while driving (what I call Edgar Allen Poe’s “imp of the perverse”), but only quietly to myself. I am ashamed afterwards.

I once got a hideous letter – hate mail, truly – from a reader who disagreed with the gist of a piece I wrote. It was excessive and frightening, and only a sample of what columnists who are more assertive than I must get all the time. Nonetheless, as a rather mild writer, I was aghast at the ferocious tone. A friend suggested I respond to the author by noting that I thought he should know someone was using his name to express stupidity, or that I could simply throw it away and wish the sender a better life with less of the hatred that must diminish it. I threw it away.

I am increasingly dismayed at what I see is an omnipresent amount of disrespect between us, fellow human beings who understand that proper protest is valid and necessary. We are surely shocked by the abuses of power and terror beyond our control, but maybe on a personal level we can exercise restraint and work toward addressing our own differences and concerns in a civil manner. tws

he streams are at their brightest when the sun shines on a winter’s day. Perhaps the reflection of light off of the snow makes the bottom sparkle. Maybe the lack of moss on the rocks and a summer of polishing makes them shine. Regardless of why, it is a beautiful thing to see. Although beautiful, the next week or so promises less light and some cloudy weather. The good news is this also means low pressure and great fishing.

We are still too early for massive Midge hatches, but the Nymphing on almost all our rivers is in full swing. Fishing standard nymphs as well as anything bright, like an egg color, is going to produce fish. We are seeing fish schooling up into winter holding groups. If you catch one fish in any particular area, plan on catching several more. Don’t move on too quickly from productive spots.

The weather in the South Valley has been warm and mild, so if you aren’t ready to fish in the snow yet, look to Silver Creek and the South Fork of the Boise.

Silver Creek, upstream from Highway 20, closes at the end of this month. There is still time to find decent Baetis hatches between now and then. Just try to find the calmest and warmest days. If nothing is working on the surface and the weather goes bad, fish Streamers. With the brown trout coming off of the spawn, they will be eager to fatten back up. The rest of the Creek, downstream from Highway 20, remains open until the end of February and should fish very well with Streamers coupled with cloud cover this week.

If you really want to get the last of the hatches for the 2015 season, the South Fork of the Boise is the place for you.

Milder days are producing nice rises of big bows on Baetis. No need to get there too early; 11 is plenty early, with most action peaking around 1 or 2 p.m. If you go, be sure to check the weather and road conditions.

Being at the bottom of that hill when the snow f lies can lead to tire chains and 4-wheel drive.

Enjoy the pre-holiday quietude on the rivers this week.

We should have excellent fishing on all our area rivers as long as anglers are willing to fish subsurface. Big Midge hatches are coming. so if you are a dry f ly junkie – you won’t have long to wait!

Happy fishing, everyone!

THE DOG-SCENTING CHALLENGE, SUMMER OR WINTER!

BY FRAN JEWELL

D

ogs have the most amazing noses on earth! We all know how dogs are used by both military and police to detect drugs or bombs. They also teach dogs to track the bad guy trying to escape capture. We have all seen the videos on the Internet.

But, did you know that dogs can scent specific species of rare or noxious plants? They can scent scat from specific species of animals so that biologists can determine the numbers of rare or endangered animals that live in a certain area. There is an organization in Montana that I had the privilege of meeting when they first started, called “Working Dogs for Conservation.” These dogs go all over the world to help determine biological concerns, from extinction to the invasion of environmental biological hazards.

Some dogs are now being trained to detect cancer. I had an experience with one of my dogs, Baewulf, where he was out in public as a service dog when he got up from his “sit stay” (which he never did) and touched a man in the abdomen with his nose.

At that point, the gentleman said, “He knows I have cancer.”

Baewulf has never been trained specifically to alert on cancer; however, as a puppy I did “scent imprinting” with him to teach him to use his nose when he

was only a few days old. I would let him smell flowers or fruit when his nose was particularly sensitive and his eyes were not even open. As he grew up and I trained him as a hearing assistance dog for a deaf woman, he learned how to “alert” on things that made sound. Now, since he is retired, he still uses his alert training to tell me about all sorts of things, including things he smells with his nose.

Locally, we have K-9 search and rescue teams specially trained to help find lost persons.

They use both tracking/trailing as well as air-scent methods.

Tracking/trailing is for a specific person’s scent. The tracking/ trailing dog must have an object with the missing person’s scent on it. And tracking/trailing dogs must be deployed quickly to find that lost person’s trail. An airscent search and rescue dog can find generic human scent and can be deployed long after the person is missing. This dog uses the wind to find the missing person’s scent through what is called the “scent cone,” and covers large areas. Air-scent dogs can also find human remains.

There are now competitive scent dogs. They can compete in tracking. They follow a specific track laid out by a specific person that is determined by the judge.

It takes place in the outdoors and very advanced dogs can do what is called “variable surface” tracking, which includes track-

Tracking can be done either for fun, competition or a more noble cause, such as search and rescue, and can be done any time of year.

ing on hard surfaces like pavement or even indoors on hard or carpeted floors.

For the pet dog, we can teach them to find simple things like food hidden in secret places indoors or outdoors, even in the snow. They can learn to find objects belonging to you, like a wallet or even hair from a brush.

When I had search and rescue dogs, I would go ahead on the trail and place lots of objects for my dog to find on our walk so every walk became a training avenue.

Using a dog’s nose is a great way to use up both mental and physical energy. It is incredibly fun for your dog. You can keep making the “finds” endlessly more difficult with creativity.

There is some learning on your

part to help your dog make the “find.”

If you are interested in more scenting games to play with your dog, please contact me. I have some simple handouts that can make time with your dog very rewarding for both of you. I am also a certified NADOI tracking instructor and can help if you have the bug to train for competition.

ANOTHER GREAT VALLEY RESOURCE

By Katie Nosworthy

I

t may come as a surprise to learn that our Valley has a full-time Planned Parenthood educator.

Since I was hired by Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands (or PPGNHI) in 2013, I have spent a lot of time in the community trying to publicize my services and presence. Although my twoyear anniversary with Planned Parenthood is quickly approaching, I routinely hear from people, “We have a Planned Parenthood in the Valley?!” So I was really excited when The Advocates asked if I wanted to write a guest post and let people know exactly what I do and what Planned Parenthood looks like in the Wood River Valley.

First and foremost, I want to clarify that I provide education services. There is no Planned Parenthood Health Center in the Wood River Valley. We are not affiliated with South Central District Health, the public health provider in Bellevue.

As an educator, my main role is running the Teen Council program, a peer-led education group of high school students. I was hired to start the first Teen Council in Idaho, which started last year with five dedicated Wood River High School students. Throughout the year, I was lucky enough to see those students develop into knowledgeable and approachable resources for their peers and also into confident public speakers. This year, Teen Council has expanded to eight Wood River students and one Community School student, including two members who are back for their second year. We recently finished our first presentations of the year and are busy scheduling more.

In addition to Teen Council, I have con-

ducted presentations for the schools and local nonprofits. I am also working to provide family classes and am scheduling a Social Media 101 class for parents, adults working with young people, or anyone interested in learning more about the changing landscape of social media. Joining me will be my Teen Council, answering questions and adding an honest and accurate view into what social media usage really looks like for teens today.

I encourage all of you to reach out to me – send me an email (katie.nosworthy@ppgnhi. org), give me a call (208-309-1079), or connect with me on my own social media account (Facebook: SexEd Katie). As a lifelong Valley resident, I am so proud to represent Planned Parenthood and bring our wonder-

STAYING FIT AND FRIENDLY AT BIGWOOD FITNESS

Wood River High School junior Bodie Bennett is an avid fisherman.

BODIE BENNETT Loves outdoor adventure

BY JONATHAN KANE

odie Bennett loves the outdoors.

A junior at Wood River High School with a 3.87 grade point average, Bennett is a member of National Honor Society and Compassionate Young Leaders and participates in 4-H. He also plays lacrosse and basketball. His classes this year include a heavy load in Advanced Placement courses, including U.S. history, macro and microeconomics, language and composition, and psychology.

But he says hunting and fishing, which he has done since he was a young child, are his greatest passions.

“I started as soon as I could walk,” Bennett said with a laugh. “I could bugle like an elk before I could say Mom.” Bennett started by accompanying his father elk hunting.

“My earliest memory was of calling in a bull when I was 5,” Bennett said. “It was very exciting, and at that point I could make cow and bull calls with my voice.

“On this occasion I used a bull call, which can draw a bull in, thinking another bull is after his cows. It was really exciting because he was only 30 yards away. To see something that big and powerful up that close is really something.”

Bennett said he’s been fishing “for as long as I can remember,” starting at 2 years old.

He both fly fishes and uses a spin reel, but mostly used a reel as a young child and then transitioned to a fly rod.

“I’ll use whatever works,” Bennett said.

3.

He caught his first fish at age

“My dad used to fly fish and when he caught one I would reel him in,” Bennett said. “One memory was of reeling in a 5-pound bull trout. I had never seen one that big.”

Bennett said he also enjoys black bear hunting in the spring in the Stanley area.

“We use a method called ‘spot and stalk’ when the bears come out really hungry and try to get at that first grass to eat,” Bennett said. “You go to the faces where the sun is shining, then you sneak up and get close enough for a shot.

“It’s the hardest animal to judge for its age. You can look at the size of its head and the creases in its forehead or by the way it walks.

“Afterwards, you skin them out because the meat is very good,” he said. “I made a rug out of the hide of the first one I got and then bleached the skull for a trophy.

“Hunting is a great sport. You are getting out into beautiful places and the animals are really magnificent creatures and it’s really cool to observe them in their natural state. Also, people don’t realize how much hunters contribute to conservation.

“Hunters want to see the animals out there probably more than anyone else.” tws Editor’s note: Anyone who would like to recommend a local student for The Weekly Sun’s “Student Spotlight” feature should contact Jonathan Kane at jkjonkane@gmail.com.

When “Cheers” was dominating the ratings, health trends seemed to consist mostly of the Jane Fonda Workout and lite beer.

But times have changed, and so has the gym on East Maple Street, next to Nelson Field and Hailey Elementary.

Originally opened in the 1970s as Englebert’s gym, the team at Bigwood Fitness took over in 2011 and has improved and greatly expanded the gym into what is now a world–class fitness facility.

Bigwood Fitness now has everything you need to stay in shape year-round, from state-of-the-art treadmills and cardio equipment to free weights, cable machines, a CrossFit gym, yoga classes and training sessions, and they even offer smoothies and healthy energy drinks. There are a few other attributes, however, that really make Bigwood Fitness special.

The first is that their very affordable memberships and passes include classes like yoga, spinning and their popular Boot Camp sessions. Bigwood is also the only 24-hour fitness facility in the Valley. But what really separates Bigwood Fitness from other facilities is how friendly, welcoming and helpful the staff is.

Bigwood Fitness is located at 21 E. Maple St., Suite D, in Hailey.

“Everyone is friendly here, “ Kenny said. “We try to be personable and welcoming. I try to know everyone by name, because you’re an individual, you matter. You’re not just part of the masses here.

“We’re here to help people get and stay healthier. To give them the opportunity to do what they want, when they want. We’re trying to keep evolving with the fitness industry, trying to keep up with everything and providing the best options for our members,” Kenny said, adding that “what drives me is to see how this can impact people. It excites me to see people change their ways and get healthier. My favorite part is the positive impact we have. It’s awesome.”

The team at Bigwood Fitness is always trying to find new ways to help get the community healthier.

That’s why they started the Kids Fitness Program, which offers classes for students from second through fifth and sixth through 12th grades four afternoons a week.

“It’s been great,” Kenny said about the popularity and impact of the classes. “They help get kids active and off the video games for a while.”

So stop on by Bigwood Fitness.

column movie review

‘OUR BRAND IS CRISIS’ Politics is dirty business

BY JONATHAN KANE

S

ince we are deep into the heart of darkness known as the American presidential election, is there a better time to launch a cynical movie about elections and the process of political marketing?

Such is the case with the new, promising but vaguely disappointing movie, “Our Brand Is Crisis.” Basically, it’s a star vehicle for Sandra Bullock and, if you are a fan of the actress, you will like the film, which was originally developed for George Clooney, who is one of the film’s executive producers.

The movie is based entirely on a 2005 documentary by Rachel Boynton with the same title that told the story of the 2002 presidential race in Bolivia where a team of American advisors, led

by James Carville, took over the campaign of a corrupt billionaire and steered him to victory.

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

Once again the site is Bolivia, and the presidential candidate, Pedro Castillo, is a former president billionaire that has pledged this time to be a man of the people. Bullock plays a savant strategist who, because of personal wounds, has retired to the mountains and a simpler life until she is persuaded to get back into the game and travel to Bolivia.

The hook is a chance to go against her evil rival, played by Billy Bob Thornton, who she has lost to the four times they have faced off and with whom there is some bitter history. For Bullock, it’s totally personal and Castillo’s virtues are a distant second in her mind.

At times the movie plays like a screwball comedy; at other times, a serious look at our own presidential campaign. When Bullock finally snaps out of altitude sickness, she devises a campaign very similar to Donald Trump’s – the country is in a dark crisis and

hiskey Jacques’ will host the 36th Annual Firefighters’ Masquerade Ball on Saturday, Nov. 21.

A rockin’ night to commemorate all that the Ketchum and Sun Valley fire departments do for the community and to help raise funds, the Ball features two bands and a DJ. The theme of the night is a “masquerade ball”; bringing a mask is highly encouraged, though not required.

Mingle with the local firefighters and set the dance floor ablaze to the music of Moondog Matinee, the opener, and Hopeless Jack, the headliner. Hailing from Reno, Nev., Moondog Matinee plays jammin’ rock with blues and indie influences.

“Remember when the blues were an important part of rock ‘n’ roll?” asks a critic from audiofuzz.com. “Moondog Matinee remembers, and they have rewritten the book on blues rock.”

The headliner of the night, Hopeless Jack, is a singing, picking, stomping, Portland-based band that plays “a raucous and raw element of rock ‘n’ roll grounded in the roots of soul and blues,” according to their bandcamp site.

Doors will open at 8 p.m. for the Ball and music starts at 9:30 p.m. Additionally, DJN8 will be spinning upstairs all night long, providing a different vibe and outlet if the dance floor downstairs gets too hot.

For Mike Elle, Ketchum’s fire chief and department member for 30 years, the best part of the night is “getting to see old friends and folks from the community, as well as new faces.”

“It’s also great to have the departments together and to be able to talk about old times,” added Ray Franco, Sun Valley’s fire chief.

The annual Firefighters’ Ball is always well attended and an important event for the local fire departments.

“The mission of the Ketchum and Sun Valley Volunteer Firefighters’ Association is to provide training and equipment to help make the departments better at serving the public and providing emergency services,” Chief Elle said.

Funds raised from the Ball go toward helping the community at large through new equipment additions and upgrades, as well as training. Funds from last year’s event enhanced both departments’ ability to communicate with state and federal agencies through the purchase

THANKSGIVING BREAKFAST

T

Gabriele’s Tips here are some things that can make breakfast on a holiday suc-

‘TIM’S VERMEER’ – FILM SCREENING

1. Create an easy menu and prep the day or night before.

2. Set breakfast up like a buffet.

3. Recruit the right help.

Many hands make light work!

The night before a holiday breakfast, put out bowls, plates, silverware, glasses, and condiments. Get your helpers to set out cereals, and bowls of rinsed fruit. Put napkins in the baskets for the pastries, cups for yogurt and a bowl of homemade granola to go on top.

In the morning, let your smallest helpers make toast and butter it. Put out pre-baked muffins, and have a blender set up for smoothies. Your helpers can also put jam and butter and honey out on the buffet along with pitchers of ice water.

Remember to keep your main breakfast course something simple and easy and, most importantly, something you have made before or practiced.

For the lighter eaters, serve up some simple smoothies. Here’s a recipe I use: Simple Smoothies 8 oz. cubed ice 8 oz. apple juice (approx 1 C.) 1 C. berries 2 Tbsp. sugar/honey (optional) Put all ingredients into a blender and mix until smooth. If you need something more in the morning, just add some of your favorite protein mix. Makes approximately 3-4 small smoothies or 2 large smoothies.

AUTUMN SQUASH

How to use and preserve the bounty

BY JULIE JOHNSON

utumn can overflow with its bounty. Fortunately, the many crops harvested in the fall can be preserved through canning, fermenting, dehydrating and/or freezing. While these activities aren’t expensive, they do require time, storage capacity, and some know-how.

The members of the gourd family are truly the most inexpensive, easily stored, longest lasting, nourishing and versatile foods supplied by nature. And, they taste great, too!

Acorn squash, buttercup, butternut, delicata, kabocha, pumpkin, red kuri, and spaghetti squash store with no more than the need for a dry spot ANYWHERE for months. Organic squash typically costs about a dollar per pound. A 5-pound squash can feed five people; add a grain, and it can feed six very satisfactorily.

Try one of these simple preparation ideas to get you started: Squash soup: Bake the squash at 350 degrees until the skin bubbles a bit. Cool, peel and blend with water, salt and pepper to taste. Using chicken broth and baked garlic will cost more but is worth every bite.

Roasted squash: Cut the squash open down the middle like butterfly wings, then bake at 350 to 375 degrees until soft.

Mash with butter, salt and several squeezes of lemon. No lemon in the house? Use apple cider vinegar. The combination of 14

butter and lemon or apple cider vinegar will make the squash taste sweet. Beat a couple of egg yolks into this combination, then bake for 15 more minutes, and you have dessert.

Roasted seeds: Scoop out the seeds and roast lightly in coconut oil or olive oil and relish in the good omega-6 linoleic acid.

Think you can’t afford squash?

Buy a 59-cent packet of squash seeds. Don’t have the space?

Use a discarded plastic bucket, poke a hole in the bottom so the “feet” can breathe, and plant a couple of seeds. One plant will produce enough to sell at the farmers’ market for two weeks!

Your profit margin? About 1,000 percent.

“Tim’s Vermeer” is a documentary that follows a Texas-based inventor and his ambitious project to uncover the secrets behind 17th-century Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer’s uncannily photorealistic work. The Center presents “Tim’s Vermeer” as part of the BIG IDEA project, Sleight of Hand.

Though Vermeer lived 150 years before the invention of photography, he managed to paint so realistically that his works have a strangely photographic quality. Texan tech pioneer Tim Jenison has been so taken with Vermeer’s work that he mounted an epic research project to test his theories on the Dutch master’s techniques and process – complete with an attempt to paint a Vermeer himself.

“Tim’s Vermeer” follows Jenison’s research. The project spans eight years and takes Jenison to Delft, Holland, where Vermeer painted his masterpieces; on a pilgrimage to the north coast of Yorkshire to meet artist David Hockney; and even to Buckingham Palace to see a Vermeer masterpiece in the collection of the Queen.

Tickets for “Tim’s Vermeer” are $10 for Center members and $12 for nonmembers. To purchase your seats in advance, visit sunvalleycenter.org or call 208-726-9491.

‘VENUS IN FUR’ – THEATRE THURS NOV 19-SAT NOV 21 8PM / THE SPOT / KETCHUM A Tony-nominated new work by David Ives, “Venus In Fur” explores power dynamics between men and women, directors and actors, and those willing to give in to submission versus those willing to play the master.

The play runs Nov. 19-21 at 8 p.m. with $20 tickets available at spotsunvalley.com.

Tantalizingly sexy and surprisingly hysterical, the show stars two recent MFA graduates from the American Repertory Theater at Harvard, Kevin Wade and Natalie Battistone.

“Venus in Fur” walks a tightrope between reality and myth, between the fantastical and the absolute. It asks the audience to look beyond simplistic divisions and to reject the labels society has demanded humanity use to neatly order the world.

The play does contain strong language and adult content. Reserve a seat by visiting spotsunvalley.com or by calling 208-928-6241. The Spot is located at 220 Lewis St. #2 in Ketchum.

‘LULU’ – MET LIVE SCREENING

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 21

10AM / BIG WOOD CINEMAS / HAILEY

Join Sun Valley Opera for Berg’s Opera, “Lulu.” Doors open at 9:30 a.m. At 10 a.m., Dick Brown will give a lecture on: How to Finish an Incomplete Masterpiece; Theatre of the Absurd; and a Discussion of Serial & Atonal Music. All tickets are $16 and patrons may purchase them at any time at the Big Wood Cinemas box office.

One of the most important – not to mention notorious – stage works of the 20th century, “Lulu” is the drama of a young woman who sexually and emotionally dominates a wide range of willing victims, both male and female. Herself a victim of society, she seems to embody all the frightening aspects of the human condition, a combination of primal instinct and distinctly modern amorality.

All tickets are $16 for the 10:30 a.m. screening and patrons may purchase them at any time at the Big Wood Cinemas box office. Call 208-578-0971 for more information.

CONTRA DANCE SATURDAY NOVEMBER 21 5:30-9PM / GRANGE HALL / HAILEY The band Strings Attached is coming to Hailey again to call a contra dance with David Quinley. Quinn’s (Quinley’s) love for contra dance is as old as his grey hair and as young as his eternal playful-child-like heart.

Now a semi-retired teacher in Jerome, Quinn and his band, Strings Attached, love coming to Hailey to make the community dance and laugh. Their repertoire of music includes traditional, bluegrass, old-time and Celtic.

The event consists of a number of contra dances: a folk dance that is danced in lines of couples facing each other. The emphasis is on the fun of dancing to live music in a friendly, community atmosphere. All the steps will be taught and no partner is necessary.

Accompanied kids 12 and under are welcome and dance for free. Teenagers pay $10 (at the door).

Adult tickets are $15 and are on sale at the Wood River Sustainability Center, the Bellevue General Store and at NourishMe in Ketchum. Attendance is limited to 70 dancers. Tickets will be available at the door if the event is not sold out.

The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with an optional potluck dinner. Guests are invited to bring wholesome food to share, as well as their own plate, fork and water bottle. Dancing will begin at 7 p.m. For more info, visit grange.org/upperbigwoodriverid192/events.
