IN BRIEF

Idaho’s Early Education Ranks Last According to the 2018 KIDS COUNT Data Book, Idaho ranks last in early child education participation in the United States. Idaho is one of only six states that does not invest in prekindergarten or school readiness programs.

The Annie E. Casey Foundation released the national 2018 Data Book a week ago.

“It ranks states on a variety of factors related to child wellbeing,” said Christine Tiddens, community outreach director for Idaho Voices for Children. “Overall, Idaho is doing fairly decent, especially when it comes to economic wellbeing. However, we’re really lagging behind in education—specifically, early childhood education.”

Idaho ranks 21st nationally in overall child wellbeing.

Other rankings for Idaho include: • 12th in economic wellbeing: Approximately 76,000 kids in Idaho—or 18 percent—live in poverty (income below $24,339 for a family of two adults and two children).

• 14th in family and community: Teen birth rates have declined significantly since 2010, dropping by 39 percent. Twenty-six percent of children in Idaho live in families with one parent, which is the third lowest rate in the nation.

• 26th in health: The number of children without health insurance decreased 55 percent since passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010. Yet, there are still 20,000 children who lack health coverage. Babies born with low birth weight increased slightly to 7 percent this year.

• 40th in education: Idaho’s fourth-graders saw some improvement in reading proficiency between 2015 and 2017, but 62 percent failed to gain proficiency in the subject. Meanwhile, 65 percent of Idaho’s eighth-graders scored below proficiency in math.

Studies have shown that young children who attend preschool tend to have higher levels of educational at-

tainment and earnings later on.

“Idaho is missing opportunities to invest in proven measures to secure our state’s economic future,” Tiddens said.

Busy Day For Valley Fire Departments On Wednesday, June 27, two fires were reported in the Wood River Valley, keeping the Valley’s fire departments hopping.

The first occurred at 3:26 p.m. at the Winn’s Compost facility near the Ohio Gulch Transfer Station, north of Hailey. Crews from Hailey Fire, Wood River Fire & Rescue, Sun Valley Fire and Ketchum Fire responded, with deputies from the Blaine County Sheriff‘s Office.

The fire, which generated visible white smoke blowing southwest, consisted of a large pile of mulch. The fire smoldered through Thursday.

In Sun Valley, at the Horseman’s Center, about 7:30 p.m., a “spontaneous combustion occurred in large stacks of hay, probably from the recent heat,” said Taan Robrahn, Sun Valley’s assistant fire chief. “We thought that’s probably what contributed to it.”

The haystacks had to be pulled apart with a loader, with members of the Horseman’s Center assisting. The fire was out at about 12:30 a.m., but continued smoldering into Thursday.

The Sun Valley Fire and Ketchum Fire departments responded.

Seed Talk And Tour To Be Held The Wood River Seed Library and The Community Library will host nationally recognized seed-saving educator Bill McDorman for a garden tour and talk at the Bloom Community Farm in Hailey, on 6:30–8 p.m. Monday, July 9.

McDorman, who grew up in Ketchum, will lead a discussion about when, how and why it is important to save locally-grown seeds. Local seed-saver John Caccia, of the Wood River Seed Library, will be a co-presenter for the event.

“People often forget about the importance of seeds and seed-saving,” Caccia said. “In this day and age of plant patenting, genetic modification, and corporate control of seeds and agriculture, it is more important than ever to learn about how to save, store and share locally-grown seeds.”

The Bloom Community Farm is located at the east end of Fox Acres Road in Hailey, past Wood River High School.

KIC To Open New Location With New Leader Emmi Buck was hired as the new communications director of the Ketchum Innovation Center. Former CEO Kathryn Kemp Guylay and associate director Leigh Barer stepped down on June 30. KIC board member and entrepreneur Christy Anna Gerber will step in as interim executive director.

“Kathryn and Leigh have done a great job for the KIC since assuming leadership roles in the fall of 2017,” said Rick LeFaivre, KIC board chair. “They dramatically increased our entrepreneurial programming for the community, and transitioned us to a wonderful new facility.

As they refocus on their external business interests, the board appreciates Christy Anna stepping in as interim director as we start our search for the next director and is excited to have Emmi join the team.”

KIC will hold an opening party from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, July 12, at the new location at 180 6th Street West in Ketchum. To RSVP, visit ketchuminnovationcenter.org and click on events.

INTERN TO TWS

ith longer days and warmer weather in the Wood River Valley, good food—plus age-appropriate drinks—music, and time with family and friends, are all quintessential aspects of summer.

These symbols of summertime, when children are free from school and parents can unwind, are all elements that Mahoney’s Bar & Grill embodies with its longstanding summer concert series.

Shaun and Matt Mahoney, co-owners of Mahoney’s in Bellevue, have been in the Wood River Valley since 1989 and 1991, respectively, and they understand the importance of a good time. This year, the restaurant celebrates 14 years in the Valley and 12 years of its summer concert series.

“For me, I just love it because I get to bring music that I like to hear and sit outside and enjoy it,” said Shaun’s wife, Stefany Mahoney, who books the bands. “And I love the families. Kids come out here and they dance and do all that, and adults can talk and have a drink.

We try to bring in everybody.”

Family is evidently one of the priorities of the sibling-run restaurant. Shows begin at 6:30 p.m. every Thursday and are free, so more people can attend. Drinks make the rounds, kids eat and dance, and bands perform on the bar’s outdoor patio to catch some of the summer sun.

“I think that for a lot of people—even the local bands—their families don’t get to see them a lot because they play at the local bars at night and certainly don’t get to bring their kids,” Mahoney said. “So it’s a big plus that we start early.”

Not only do the Mahoneys aim to draw in people from all different walks of the Valley, but they also book a variety of different groups to find something that everyone can enjoy.

“It’s a mix,” Mahoney said. “I try to get some local bands and some from out of the area. It’s usually blues, country, country-rock, and a little rock and roll. Nothing too heavy, all family-friendly type of stuff.”

The bands Mahoney’s booked throughout the summer range from Bellevue’s own Up a Creek to the Aaron Einhouse Band from Austin, Texas.

Following the fireworks and festivities of the Fourth, Mahoney’s will keep the celebrations going with music from Like A Rocket on Thursday, July 5. The band consists of Speedy Gray on vocals, guitar and keys; Max Klymenko on drums, vocals and harp; and Andy Cenarrusa on bass, vocals and lap steel.

“Like A Rocket seemed kind of appropriate for the Fourth of July,” Mahoney said. “They’re from Boise, and they’re like country rock combined with rock and roll. It’s going to be great.”

This is just the beginning of Mahoney’s summer concert series.

Shows will continue through Labor Day, so residents of the Valley have plenty of opportunity to come out and join the 12-year tradition of a drink, a juicy-Lucy burger, and music under the setting sun. tws

BY YANNA LANTZ

very summer, Sun Valley Resort presents an original season of summer ice shows called Sun Valley on Ice. Beginning July 4 and running through Labor Day, the shows aim to highlight some of the world’s finest skaters, new stars and impressive athletic routines.

“The Sun Valley Ice Shows are unique in so many aspects,” said Scott Irvine, ice operations manager and ice show producer. “It is one of the longest-running and most prestigious ice shows in the world. In addition to our world-class cast of performers, we bring in national, world and Olympic headliners creating a truly amazing skating experience. To top that all off, the Sawtooth Mountains and starry Idaho skies provide a setting that no other ice show in the world can compare to.”

Each show will feature a different headliner from the professional world of skating.

“Being invited to perform in Sun Valley has actually become a bit like a private club,” Irvine said.

“There’s a limited number of shows each season and we try to get the most accomplished skaters we can. It really is a who’s who of the skating world.” Two-time 2018 Olympic bronze medalists Maia and This year, Sun Valley on Ice will host the talents Alex Shibutani will grace the rink on July 4.

BLAINE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNOUNCES NEW SAFETY STAFF

Community. Compassion. Commitment.

Voted Best Insurance Agency for 5 years in a row!

Blaine County School District announced that it has hired Dave Stellers, the current assistant police chief for the City of Hailey, to be its supervisor of student safety. Stellers will begin his new job in November after officially retiring from the Hailey Police Department.

Prior to joining the Hailey Police Department in 1993, Stellers, a 28-year veteran in law enforcement, served with the San Diego Police Department.

“Student safety is our highest priority and is critical to student learning,” said GwenCarol Holmes, BCSD superintendent. “This position is essential to the district’s ability to identify areas of improvement for student and staff safety and ensure those improvements occur across the district consistently. We have waited to find the right person for this job and we are thrilled that Assistant Chief Stellers will be joining our team.”

Stellers will work part-time. His duties will include helping schools improve their emergency plans, including drills and training as well as coordination with other emergency responders. In addition, he will support pre-expulsion and expulsion hearings for students. He will work collaboratively with all staff, including the two school resource officers located at Wood River High School and Wood River Middle School.

“Students and staff have an expectation to go to school and work in a place that’s safe, and I can help the district accomplish that,” Stellers said.

EASTBOUND TRAFFIC SWITCHED VIA CROSSOVER NEXT WEEK

Replacement of the Salt Lake Interchange on Interstate 84, underway since May, takes another big step the week of July 9.

Eastbound traffic will be shifted into a two-way, two-lane crossover built to route traffic away from the existing interchange so that it can be removed.

Once shifted, eastbound traffic will be using the westbound lanes in that area. Speeds will be reduced to 65 mph, with restrictions for 12-foot lane widths. The old interchange, located about 15 miles east of Burley, is being replaced during the next two construction seasons. The eastbound side will be replaced this year, with the westbound side expected to finish by late 2020.

NEWS COMMUNITY

HAILEY MAN TO RIDE AS GRAND MARSHAL Tom and Sallie Hanson will participate in Fourth of July festivities

BY BAILEY RIERDEN

T

INTERN TO TWS

he Chamber of Hailey and the Wood River Valley, along with the Hailey Fourth of July committee, has named Tom Hanson as grand marshal for today’s 2018 celebration. This means Hanson and his wife, Sallie, will be front and center during the Hailey Days of the Old West Parade, Wednesday.

“I’m so humbled. I think there are a lot of other people that should’ve been selected,” Hanson said. “I’ve been involved in the community a lot, and I love this Valley and the amount of support there is in it. I’m honored.”

Hanson grew up in Oregon, and then pursued a biological sciences degree at Sacramento State University. Hanson met Sallie in a physics lab class, and the two made their way to the Wood River Valley in 1972.

“I started traveling across the West looking for jobs in my discipline after college with a ski buddy,” he said. “We skied here and started to work. I had no doubt I was going to come back.”

Being in the mountains made for an interesting job selection and Hanson began as a tennis instructor at the Sun Valley Resort. He followed this up by working at Smith Sport Optics, testing ski goggles and sunglasses. Not a bad gig for a skier.

In 1980, Hanson was hired as the business manager for POWER Engineers, a global consulting engineering firm, based in Hailey. He worked for POWER for 38 years and recently retired.

“It was a great company,” he said. “I’m not an engineer, but I enjoy working with people, and as our company grew from 15 people to where it is now, it was all a matter

of being involved with people.”

On top of his amazing career, Hanson, along with his wife, raised three children in Hailey, and were heavily involved in the community. He was active with The Chamber, the Hailey Public Library, the hospital board, and NAMI—a national organization that helps break down the stigma of mental illness and helps families connect with resources.

“It’s such a dynamic, progressive and responsive Valley,” Hanson said. “When you live in a small community, it’s required to participate—at least for me it is. That’s what makes the Valley stronger, and it takes everyone to make that happen.”

Christopher Koch, mayor of Bellevue, has worked closely with Hanson over the years.

“I think it’s absolutely amazing that Tom will be the grand marshal,” Koch said. “He has given so much back to the community over the past 30 years. He’s always willing to help, and he’s the first one to stand up when a job needs to be done. I couldn’t think of anyone better for the job.”

Hanson’s community is important to him, and he wants to do more than just reap the benefits—he wants to make a change.

“I think the Fourth of July is such a wonderful event in our community,” he said.

“Valleywide, it showcases how great this place is, and I’m honored to be the parade’s grand marshal.” tws

FREEDOM…

T

BY ALEXANDRA DELIS-ABRAMS, PH.D.

he word freedom has even more meaning to me after visiting The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado.

Although it is illegal in most states to own an exotic animal as a pet, many states still allow it—for example, after State of Idaho authorities stepped in and shut down an operation that was breeding and selling white tigers as pets.

The tigers now roam freely at the Sanctuary in a large, natural habitat.

Daily, I read stories that detail the lives of animals shown no respect, no reverence and certainly NO freedom.

Surely, we would consider that Anne Frank was a prisoner of a horrendous war and yet her words inspire us today: “It’s utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death… And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty, too, shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more. In the meantime, I must hold on to my ideals. Perhaps the day will come when I’ll be able to realize them!”

How would you evaluate her thought process?

Lastly, I introduce the idea of being disempowered while listening to the self-sabotaging messages of the mind. In lieu of saying to the mind “delete” or “cancel,” what is insidious in our culture is to allow the voice of worthlessness to be considered truth. Be free of it—speak up and say, “No way – go away.”

Do you lack or claim freedom when it comes to taking charge of your life?

WALK THE ERC’S NECTAR TRAIL THIS SUMMER

The Environmental Resource Center’s Nectar Trail is situated along Fourth Street and Washington Avenue in Ketchum. It has a series of planters and gardens that contain a variety of native, pollinator-friendly plants that are cared for without pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Each unique site provides an example on how you can provide much-needed resources to local pollinator populations and combat their global decline.

This project is a collaboration between the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ BIG IDEA Project: Bees, and the ERC’s Pesticide Action program, which reduces the use of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. In this program, the ERC advocates for Integrated Pest Management practices, where chemical controls, when necessary, are used in small quantities and only as a last resort.

Participating businesses include Rickshaw, Java on Fourth, Board Bin, Gail Severn Galley, Perry’s, and Golden Door Gallery. Nectar Trail maps and information are available at the ERC office at 471 Washington Ave., in Ketchum, or the Sun Valley Center for the Arts at 191 5th St. E., in Ketchum.

YOU CAN PREVENT SUICIDE—KNOW THE SIGNS

For more than a year, some 25 Blaine County citizens representing more than 15 nonprofit organizations have worked together, through the Suicide Task Force, to prevent suicide and eliminate the stigma of mental health issues in the Wood River Valley community. The group works to build a culture of awareness, understanding, acceptance and action around our community’s mental wellbeing.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for Idahoans age 15-34 and for males up to age 44.

The goal is to teach everyone to learn the signs of someone who might be in crisis. Pay attention to your family, friends, co-workers and everyone else you know. Check in if it seems someone is struggling. Then proceed to get them the help they need.

The group has adopted a national campaign that’s simple and easy to understand, called “Know the Five Signs” developed by the national Campaign to Change Direction. The task force encourages bystanders to pay attention to friends, acquaintances and those you see often: Has someone’s personality changed? Does he or she seem agitated, withdrawn, have poor self-care, or seem hopeless? Reach out in every case. You can direct them to get the help they need.

The task force shares the “Know the Five Signs” presentation to organizations and businesses. If your group would like a presentation, contact Erin Pfaeffle at (208) 727-8734.

For help, call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline, (800) 273-8255; text HOME to the Crisis Text Line, 741741; or visit stlukesonline.org/gethelp for all available resources.

COLUMN NO BONES ABOUT IT THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JULY 4 - 10, FROM PICABO ANGLER

T

he summer bugs are arriving on all our area rivers.

The water is dropping and the fishing is fine. It doesn’t matter which river you choose this week—they are all fishing very well!

Green Drakes continue on the Big Wood and the Upper Lost River. The first signs of the Trico Spinner Falls are beginning. The Salmonfly and an abundance of Stoneflies are showing up all over the place. Baby Hoppers have hatched and are growing quickly. Essentially, if the water is low enough to fish, it should fish well.

Silver Creek is starting to see Trico action, and with the heat building this week, the Spinner Falls should really ramp up.

The Callibaetis action should also come on strong. Check the slow-water sections for the most action, including Sullivan’s Slough and Kilpatrick Pond.

Damselflies are a sure bet with the heat, and as the aquatic vegetation comes up, this action will only get better. Be sure to have small Hopper patterns as they begin to grow quickly into adults. Hopefully, the river comes up some on the lower stretches to provide the cut-bank habitat fish love when eating Hoppers.

The aquifer normally provides an influx of water by August, so don’t panic if the lower river doesn’t have the volume you expect. Regardless of the levels, the all-day fishing means that there isn’t a bad time to fish the Creek. Morning, noon and night should all produce some excellent opportunities.

The Big Wood and Upper Lost rivers are really shaping up and really fishing well. Large Attractors are a great bet. The Green Drakes are well up into the river system and the Stonefly action is peaking as well. If you want to fish a dropper fly, try the Epoxy Back Green Drake Nymph or a Prince Nymph. Fish the riffles and eddies, and once the current speeds slow, be sure to try the foam lines.

The South Fork of the Boise is still seeing an influx of the Mormon cricket, but it is also seeing the Salmonfly hatch as the action moves farther and farther up the river. With this week’s heat up, the action should get very intense, very fast!

Enjoy yourselves this week.

The rivers may be busier than what the norm is, so everyone be kind to one another and treat your fellow angler how you’d like to be treated.

Happy fishing, everyone!

RECREATIONAL BARKING

BY FRAN JEWELL

Y

ou’ve done your best to provide all the things a responsible dog owner should provide—a fenced backyard, good food, and training for your dog. Yet, she seems to bark all the time when she is outside. She barks at everything, such as cars going by, the mailman, any voice she hears, or if she thinks there is a loose dog going by. It might even be that you are unaware of what your dog does while she is home during your workday. Maybe she is barking nonstop while you are gone and only your neighbors know and could be quite annoyed with you!

This is called “recreational barking.” It happens when a dog is bored, wants attention, or, in some cases, barking has been rewarded in the home with even a glance from you when she barks. Just that glance can let her know that barking gets her something—your attention. Now the barking has increased to such a point that you can’t live with all the noise and manipulation and neither can your neighbors.

Some people even think it is cute to reward their dog with a treat if their dog barks at the cookie jar. Inadvertently, the barking has been positively reinforced and has now grown into a problem.

How do you stop this? There are many solutions. One of my favorite is to give dogs what they crave—a job. Almost all dogs love to use their noses. Simple things like putting her dog food bowl away and tossing her

meals into the grass in the backyard can give her an hour of pleasure hunting up that food and eating it!

The dog supply manufacturers have gone wild with treat-dispensing toys. I love to fill several toys with food (many times kibble is better than treats) and hide the toys around the yard for my dogs to find, then enjoy the meal. Some toys you can mix kibble with some wet food and it will stick in the toy for a very long game. I will intentionally not give them food in a bowl so they are hungry enough to learn the searching game or how to remove the food from the toy.

After a hard-fought meal, most dogs want to take a nap. Now, you reduced the barking by hours. Many times just providing these activities will stop the barking completely because now you have given your dog something to look forward to, especially when they know you are about to leave.

Toy and food saturation can provide exactly what your dog needs, not only as a distraction, but as mental health stimulation, which then resolves the issue. This type of activity can also prevent or curb separation anxiety. If the fun happens when you leave, your leaving becomes a good thing instead of a dreaded event.

There are interactive toys that keep a dog satisfied mentally, as well. I found there is a doggie tetherball now on the market. An old tire hung from a tree just above your dog’s head height, then a food-stuffed toy inside as the prize, can keep a dog busy and promote

hen we sing “America the Beautiful,” we visualize the spacious skies, the amber waves of grain, the majestic mountains, and the fruited plains which are such a strong part of our heritage. It is natural to love the land of one’s birth and childhood. But patriotism can also extend to being “rooted” to the natural forest, to the trees, the water, the plants and animals that surround us.

To celebrate this Fourth of

July, I began to reflect on my natural world that abounds with the patriotic colors of red, white and blue. The state bird of Idaho is the mountain bluebird. The Western tanager has a beautiful red head. The tree swallow has an iridescent blue head, and of course the robin has a red chest.

The Steller’s jay and the belted kingfisher both showcase a blue body. Perhaps most striking of all are the red slashes on the redwinged blackbird.

Idaho’s state flower, the syringa, is white. Other white flow-

ers are pearly everlasting, bog orchid, sego lily, white mule’s ears, and false Solomon’s seal, to name just a few. A very common one is yarrow. The leaves of yarrow were used as a poultice to stem the flow of blood. White flowers are plentiful within our beautiful state.

Idaho’s state gem is the star garnet, which is a deep ruby red.

The other day, when I was hiking, I came upon several pieces of white quartz, some of them broken into an almost perfect heart shape. Another gemstone

that can be found in Idaho is tourmaline, which comes in many colors, including red and blue.

I feel fortunate to live so closely aligned to the marvelous national forests of our country.

Red, white and blue are daily occurrences within our lives.

SPONSORED FEATURE STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

rilling can become boring if you are cooking the same thing night after night.

Grilling does not have to include the same protein source each time you grill. Although beef, steak, chicken and fish are common foods to prepare on the grill, they aren’t the only food that can be cooking on a grill.

Vegetables Instead of a meat burger, create a veggie burger to reduce the amount of fat and add a variety of nutrients to your burger. If an all-veggie burger doesn’t appeal to you, add your favorite vegetables into your meat before you cook it. Chopped onions, peppers (all varieties), mushrooms, beets, carrots and spinach are all great options to add in with your favorite 95 percent fat-free ground beef or turkey.

Fruit Fruit is probably not the first thing you think to grill—but why not get creative! There is usually fruit at a cookout and it sits there beautifully with all the other cold dishes. Next time, throw some on the grill, which enhances the fruit’s natural sweetness.

Grilling fruit is a simple process but there are a few tips for fruit-grilling newbies. Always brush what fruits you are grilling with a little bit of olive oil. The oil adds another element to the flavor profile. It also keeps the fruits from sticking to your grill. Grill your fruits over indirect heat, which isn’t as intense as a direct flame. Lastly, don’t “set it and forget it.” Fruit does not take long to grill, so stick close to your grill and keep a close eye on it.

he wildflowers follow the sun. A few weeks ago, huge fields of lupine flowers came to bloom out Croy Canyon. Some patches were yellow, some were purple, and some were so pale they were almost white. Every year, it is quite a sight to see and the chance to walk through these fields of flowers, suddenly verdant and green amongst the sagebrush, is a ritual of the start of summer for many people.

Sego lilies with the drops of red on white petals. Tiny clumps of bitterroot around the rocks.

All of these flowers react to the timing of snowmelt, spring rain showers, and increased sunshine during the transition to summer to send out their flowers and to go through their annual cycle of reproduction. Because snow melts and the sunshine arrives more quickly on the south-facing, lower-elevation slopes, that is where the flowers show up first each year.

Now, the flowers are moving north. While the flowers out Croy have become more subdued, with the lupines drying out and other more subtle (yet still beautiful) flower species taking their turns, great showy blooms are taking place up in the canyons higher up. If you want to see the blooms, follow them north and follow them upwards.

The wildflowers also follow the water. And, when the water dries up, so do the flowers. By early September, much of the wildflower blooms will be long gone as even the shadiest and coolest parts of our valley lose the water that remained from snowmelt and from the springtime rainstorms.

The turning point for me, the sign that shows me that the blooms are ending and the dry part of summer has arrived, is when the arrowleaf balsamroot leaves start to crunch under my feet.

These plants are the ones with bright yellow, large flowers growing on stalks surrounded by large green leaves close to the ground. When these plants dry out at the end of summer, the leaves turn brown and brittle and stay that way for the remainder of the year and they make a lot of noise when you walk through them.

Of course, that is still a long ways away. Whole

hillsides are full of colorful blooms right now, and we still have a lot of summer days left to see the flowers do their thing. Some of the ridges north of town have amazing blooms in late July.

And most of the high alpine meadows don’t even begin to show their blooms until August, when the brief alpine summer season finally arrives at the highest elevations.

Hannes Thum is a Wood River Valley native and has spent most of his life exploring what our local ecosystems have to offer. He currently teaches science at Community School.

orn and raised in Tucker, Ga., Patricia Duggan moved to the Wood River Valley last year and will graduate with the class of 2019.

“The first year was difficult because of academics,” Duggan said. “Some things I had already learned and other things were completely new that my classmates had already covered.”

Duggan carried a 4.0 GPA in Georgia and ended this year with a 3.4 GPA. Her strengths in school lean strongly toward artistic endeavors.

“I don’t care for math; it’s a very challenging subject for me,” Duggan said. “I am much more interested in English and creative subjects.”

Next year she will take college English, AP Art and AP Environmental Science. She is currently working on a comic strip and likes to sketch people.

“My inspiration comes from Jamie Hewlett,” Duggan said.

“My artwork is similar to that style.”

Hewlett is the artist for the band Gorillaz, which is a virtual band with comic figure representations.

Duggan also makes cellphone cases based off of a Japanese embellishment style. The phone cases are made using resin, a sticky organic substance, which fills a specific mold and eventually is made into silicone.

She hopes to start a small business selling the phone cases.

This summer, Duggan is working on refining her phone case craft and started a new job in the nursery at Webb Landscaping in Ketchum. She lives in Ketchum with her father, Patrick Duggan, and her brother, PJ Duggan.

Upon graduation, she hopes to attend a community college in California and become a published author.

“That’s the goal,” said Duggan. “To start off simple by attending a community college and taking advantage of the time to develop my craft.” tws

SUMMER FUN FOR SENIORS

etting older might mean you have to take extra precautions in the summer heat, but it doesn’t leave a shortage of fun things for the older adult to get after during the summer months. Grab a friend or a loved one, and start checking off this summer-fun to-do list!

• Get dirty! Connecting your hands with dirt has been proven to be a great stress reliever.

Gardens are now more accessible than ever. In Hailey, there is a community Hope Garden that you can volunteer at and, in return, you get to take some produce home. Win-win! Wednesday evenings: 6:30-8 p.m. at The Hope Garden on the corner of 1st Avenue and Walnut Street in Hailey. Also, the Sawtooth Botanical Garden has lots of opportunities for volunteers—and Wildflower Walks.

Get connected outdoors!

• Visit a museum! Blaine County has several—the Blaine County Historical Museum in Hailey, the Ore Wagon Museum in Ketchum, and the Bellevue Historical Museum in Bellevue. Learn about the Wood River Valley’s pioneer past, check out past political memorabilia and learn about the Heritage Court ladies.

• Make a splash in an aqua-aerobics class! The local YMCA and Blaine County Recreation District both have water aerobics classes that are sure to cool you off on a hot day, while getting you the exercise your doctor prescribes.

• Indulge your inner foodie and join our Diner’s Club at a private residence this month for a special catered meal. Diner’s Club meets monthly, and there is always something for everyone to like. Keep an eye on the Senior Connection Newsletter or call the Center for more details.

• Let the music in. With

summer back in the Wood River Valley, free live outdoor music has also returned.

Whether you are in Bellevue, Hailey or Ketchum, there are free live music events that are surely going to soothe your ears. Ketchum boasts Jazz in the Park on Sundays, Ketch’em Alive on Tuesdays, Wicked Wednesdays at The Spud in Hailey, and Mahoney’s Bar & Grill offers free live music in Bellevue every Thursday evening through the summer. Best of all, no tickets necessary!

• Build a book of memories.

Take time to write down some of your favorite memories, or label all of those old photos.

Or, better yet, get out and take some new pictures of new experiences and adventures, and put them in a scrapbook. You can often engage friends and loved ones in helping with making a scrapbook.

• Stop by the Senior Connection. If you would like to participate in activities with other people, we have plenty! From our daily lunches with our expert chef, Bingo on Tuesdays, sweatin’ in our workout room, and our “Let’s Get Out Series,” we have lots of options to help keep you cool and active during the summer months. Also, it’s never too early to start training for our first-ever Senior Connection Games coming this September! (specifically designed for those age 50 & up!)

If all else fails, just give us a call at the Senior Connection, and we can give you more details and fun ideas for things to do this summer, and we would love to have you join us! Just a quick reminder that we will be closed for the Fourth of July, but you can see us in the parade. Please feel free to contact us at (208) 788-3468 or visit www.seniorconnectionidaho. org.

Ketchum to host canine competition

oin the City of Ketchum for DockDogs, the fastest growing sport on four legs, Friday to Saturday, July 6-7, at Forest Service Park. This will be the first event of its kind in Ketchum.

“The city has not done an event like this before,” said Lisa Enourato, Ketchum assistant xity administrator. “Ketchum’s passion for dogs makes this an appropriate community event.

Dogs are not only man’s best friend, they are the best friends of Ketchum.”

DockDogs is a canine competition for professional DockDog teams and enthusiasts who can register online or at the event.

“If dogs are swimmers and love the water, they should participate in this competition,” Enourato said. “It’s very easy to register and will be a great event for spectators as well. Forest Service Park will have vendors selling dog-related products and there will be local food, adult beverages, lemonade and ice cream vendors.”

Onsite registration will begin at 4 p.m. Friday, July 6. The Extreme Vertical All-in-One Finals will begin at 5 p.m. A “high jump” for dogs, the dog starts off at the 20-foot mark on the dock and jumps up to grab a bumper toy extended out 8 feet from the end of the dock over the water.

The starting height for Extreme Vertical is 4 feet 6 inches and goes up in 2-inch increments as competition progresses.

Big Air competitions will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 7. The original and most popular event, Big Air is a “long jump” for dogs. The dog, which may be placed anywhere on the 40-foot dock, runs and jumps into the water after a throw toy is tossed. The distance is judged from the end of the dock to where the tail of the dog breaks the water’s surface.

The dog is then placed at the 20foot, white starting mark on the dock. When the light turns green, the handler releases the dog, and the time clock stops when the dog has pulled the toy from the Speed Retrieve bracket.

“It’s pretty safe to say that most households in the Wood River Valley have a dog,” Enourato said. “We are in the middle of the Chinese Year of the Dog. The city supports events, and this is one that’s appropriate for the Valley. It’s a way to bring the community together and offer a unique event to the visitors in town.”

Preregistration entry fees for DockDogs are $27 per team for each event, with the exception of youth Big Air teams, where the fee is $12. Register online at dockdogsevents.com. Onsite registration will increase to $30 per team for each event, with the exception of youth Big Air teams at $15.

Enourato believes this event is a great fit for locals and visitors of all ages.

“There’s something for everyone at this event,” she said. “All should be at Forest Service Park this weekend.”

Dear Dr. C, Q. The last time I had a toothache, you prescribed an antibiotic and some pain pills to be used after treatment. I have some of the antibiotic left over. Should I keep them for another problem, like a cold or sore throat?

A. Absolutely not! This makes me crazy as a practitioner; I shudder to think that only 15 percent of patients nationally are compliant with the directions on their prescriptions. Fifteen percent— no wonder we don’t have even more deaths due to improper prescription drug use. No wonder there is an opioid crisis in the U.S.!

A few points about making your home “drug safe”: • Check expiration dates on all meds, including vitamins, supplements and ointments.

Discard any item beyond the expiration date.

• For prescriptions, discard one year after date on Rx or refer to the bottle for a “discard after” date. If you take only some of the antibiotic, for example, you could be allergic the next time you take it. This is serious stuff!

• Ditch any items that have changed color, smell or taste.

• Discard unmarked con-

• Be careful about throwing out medication. Because of the potential harm to the environment, do not simply flush them down the toilet. Put them in a sealable bag, add some water and/or kitty litter, coffee grounds or sawdust— any material that mixes well and makes it unappealing for children and pets. Seal the bag and put it in the trash or contact your pharmacy for disposal suggestions.

• Consider relocating medicine cabinets. Medicines should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from children and adolescents. Consider a drawer or lock box in your closet.

Summer has finally arrived in our Valley! As the temperatures rise, it’s imperative to keep cool, remain hydrated and stay informed. Here are a few tips to help you stay healthy and enjoy these long, hot days.

There is no safe temperature to leave a child unattended in a vehicle!

• • •

•

A child’s body temperature rises five times faster than an adult’s Death can occur when a child’s temperature reaches 107 degrees On an 80-degree day, a child’s body temperature can reach deadly levels in only 10 MINUTES On days when ambient temperatures exceed 86°F, the internal temperatures of a vehicle can quickly reach 134°F to 154°F

For more on child safety in and around vehicles, go to Kidsandcars.org. Keep in mind body temperature for the elderly and our furry friends also heats up faster and can quickly become unsafe.

Generally, we are a very active community, enjoying a variety of outdoor recreation and activities. It’s a good idea to avoid excessive exertion late

in the day when temperatures are often at their peak. If you don’t take care when exercising in the heat, you risk serious illness. Both the exercise itself and the air temperature increase your core body temperature. To help cool itself, your body sends more blood to circulate through your skin.

This leaves less blood for your muscles, which in turn increases your heart rate.

Stay hydrated. Often water alone isn’t enough, and our body needs to replace electrolytes found in some sports drinks as well. Dress appropriately. Lightweight, loose-fitting clothing helps sweat evaporate and keeps you cooler. Avoid dark colors, which can absorb heat. If possible, wear a light-colored, wide-brimmed hat.

For more tips for a safe and healthy summer, visit www. cdc.gov/features/extremeheat or ask your local physician.

Don’t have a physician? Call St. Luke’s Center for Community Health (208) 727-8733 for help finding the right provider for you.

It’s your life.

We help you live it.
