THE CASE OF MONUMENTS

BY DANA DUGAN

I

n the western part of the country, where states are enormous and it can take a day to drive across them, residents are surrounded by open land, wilderness and infinite recreational opportunities. One of the grandest ideas ever to be created was the formation, in the early part of the 20th century, of the idea of protecting these lands as either national parks or national monuments. Yellowstone National Park was the first national park in the U.S. National parks are protected due to their scenic, inspirational, educational and recreational values, while national monuments are more varied and have objects of historical, cultural and scientific interest. There are 129 protected areas in the United States known as national monuments.

These parks and national monuments fall under the purview of the American Antiquities Act, signed into law in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt. Congress gave broad discretion to set aside “historic landmarks … and other objects of historic and scientific interest.” That same year Roosevelt created Devils Tower in Wyoming as the first national monument. He went on to create 17 additional national monuments in nine states, including the Grand Canyon, which Congress upgraded to a national park in 1919.

Closest to the Wood River Valley are the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument and Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, while the closest national parks are Grand Teton and Yellowstone, in Wyoming, both about a four-hour drive to the east.

The Environmental Advocates

Alliance will meet at 6 p.m., Thursday, June 15 at the Environmental Resource Center in Ketchum, to learn about these national monuments and how they affect Idaho.

Participants will discuss an executive order issued by the Trump administration directing Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to review 27 national monuments designated or expanded since January 1, 1996.

Conservative lawmakers argue that the federal government, which owns almost half the land in 11 Western states in the U.S., should turn control of much of it over to the states so that they can sell off parcels for commercial development and the allure of new jobs.

“This affects the amount of public land in the state,” said Betsy Mizell, Idaho Conservation League’s central Idaho community engagement associate.

“And it affects the economies of neighboring counties.”

According to Headwaters Economics, a research institute based in Bozeman, Mont., protected public lands attract fast-growing

economic sectors, sustain property values and attract new investments. The economies of the counties that intersect, and abut, Craters of the Moon—Blaine, Butte, Minidoka and Power— have grown since the expansion of the monument in 2000 to include all of the Great Rift Zone.

Craters of the Moon encompasses 738,000 acres. Hagerman is 4,351 acres while, by contrast, Yellowstone National Park is 2.2 million acres.

Unlike Bear’s Ears in Utah, another national monument Zinke is reviewing, there are no natural resources at Craters.

On May 2, Idaho Rep. Raúl Labrador and some of his colleagues introduced H.R. 2284, a bill that would undo a president’s ability to preserve or protect public lands. Labrador proposes replacing this power with a lengthy process that requires both congressional review and state approval before monuments could be designated.

The meeting will be held at the Environmental Resource Center at 471 Washington Avenue in Ketchum.

JOHN GLENN LEAVES LEGACY OF PERFORMANCE

C

BY DANA DUGAN

ompany of Fools—the theatrical arm of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts— lost its co-founder and artistic director, John Glenn, on Friday, June 9 from complications after surgery. He was 55 years old.

Glenn moved to Hailey in 2000 with his partner R.L. Rowsey, joining friend and professional colleague Denise Simone to continue building a professional theatre company at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey.

During his tenure at Company of Fools, Glenn oversaw 21 seasons and more than 150 productions. With more than 40 years’ experience in all aspects of theatre, Glenn was accomplished as an actor, director, designer and producer.

Prior to co-founding Company of Fools, Glenn was artistic director of the Barksdale Theatre, in Richmond, Va., and spent a decade as the associate artistic director for Theatre IV, the nation’s largest touring theatre company for children.

“When not on the stage, Glenn mentored, directed and supported the ones in the spotlight, providing guidance through thoughtful decisions, true depth of feeling and a dedication to his craft and community,” said a press release from the Sun Valley Center.

In 2016, Glenn received the Idaho Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts. One of the highest honors in the state for the arts, it was given in recognition of his lifetime of achievement and impactful contributions to the arts and to the community at large.

Under Glenn’s leadership, Company of Fools was also recognized numerous times for its significant contributions to the arts. In 2009, it was awarded Arts Advocate of the Year by the Sun Valley/Ketchum and Hailey chambers of commerce. In 2004, COF was honored as a recipient of the Idaho Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts. In December 2000, COF became the first theatre in Idaho’s history to receive Constituent Theatre sta-

tus from Theatre Communications Group, the national organization for professional nonprofit American theatre.

Glenn appeared in such productions as “The Man Who Came To Dinner,” “A Year With Frog and Toad,” “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” “God of Carnage,” “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “The Tempest,” “The Spitfire Grill,” “Violet,” “James Joyce’s The Dead,” “A Christmas Carol,” “The Gift of the Magi” and “The Laramie Project” with a cast of local teens. He directed countless shows as well.

Glenn’s death leaves a hole not just for COF and The Center, but for the entire community. Unfailingly gracious, he was known for his commitment to his family, friends and work.

“As the family at The Fools and The Center reflects on this loss and a life cut short, we can feel the tremendous impact of his life and spirit,” The Center’s press release said. “John set the tone of the culture and the direction of Company of Fools. John relished every relationship he had. Although he was private, he cared deeply about each and every person who walked through the doors at the Liberty and into his life. He was particularly proud of this upcoming season’s focus on community and the families we build.

“He gave selflessly to his work and his efforts made what appeared on stage seem effortless and beautiful, all in service to the love of sharing stories that touched our hearts and minds… with sensitivity, intelligence, kindness and light that will be powerfully missed and impossible to replicate.”

The Sun Valley Center for the Arts and Company of Fools remain committed to creating theatre at the Liberty in John’s vision, which is driven by the power of the theatrical experience to connect artist and audience, telling stories that engage, inspire, entertain and transform.

Glenn is survived by his husband, R.L. Rowsey. They were partners for nearly 25 years and married two years ago. tws

TROUT SEEK SHELTER IN HIGH WATER

BY DANA DUGAN

W

ith all the rain, runoff and mud flowing in the high waters of the Big Wood River and other rivers in Idaho this spring, valley residents are wondering how the trout are faring.

First of all, experts such as fishing guides and Trout Unlimited contend that fish are incredibly adaptable animals since, as stream-dwellers, they already live in an environment that has a tendency to change, and change often. Trout find eddies caused by stream obstructions and quiet pockets along the stream edges that are protected from the main force of the current.

But when the river is running at or near flood stage—as the Big Wood has been several times this month—the water seems to wash away everything in its path. It’s easy to be concerned about the fish, and the subsequent season for anglers.

“They’ll seek shelter, using the floodplain where the water slows down,” said Dan Dauwalter, fisheries science director of Idaho’s Trout Unlimited, based in Boise.

“The general idea is that they try to find velocity shelters—logs and boulders lower along the stream bottom.”

Dauwalter doesn’t think that the high water will result in dead fish. However, young trout may seek shelter in floodplain areas, which could result in mortality as the water recedes.

“Fish don’t get displaced as much as people think,” Dauwalter said. “And they still feed on the drift, looking for insects drifting in the current.”

Trout are visual feeders, which can be difficult in muddy water.

“They’ll still feed in a localized environment, hiding behind a boulder, waiting for things to drift by,” Dauwalter said.

Though they are bottom dwellers, fish have float bladders within their bodies to maintain weightlessness in water. Plus, they have streamlined shapes that minimize resistance to water, and their scales secrete slimy mucus that reduces friction in water.

“Once things settle down, and fish hunker down and stay put, fishing can be good once the water recedes,” Dauwalter said. “It

should be fine. Until that time, anglers should look for small, springfed streams like Silver Creek.”

There are ways to fish during high water, however, as long as the angler knows the area well.

Anglers can also take advantage of the receding waters (but never rising waters) to find fish hiding in eddies. Trolling downstream is the only way to get your lure or fly down to the fish.

Never wade deeper than kneedeep in a flooded river with a current that is faster than what is normal for that river. It can sweep you right off your feet.

As the water rushes through the valley, the banks, beds and bottoms of the river will continue changing. But there is a benefit: as gravel on the bottom is redistributed, it helps to clean out spawning beds, which can get a buildup of silt and sand, Dauwalter said.

In fact, Dauwalter said using the water now to irrigate can “actually reduce flood levels.”

Water levels are indeed going down as irrigation season kicks into gear. As of Monday, the levels were approximately 4 feet lower than a week ago. tws

DUST ABATEMENT MEASURES UNDERTAKEN AT SILVER CREEK

irt, from roadways and banks, from trees, pollen and pollution, will all eventually end up in rivers and streams.

Silver Creek, a pristine, spring-fed fishing stream of great renown south of Bellevue, is no different, Preserved and maintained by The Nature Conservancy, there are several homes along Silver Creek and traffic to and from the preserve.

For the third year, one homeowner, Steve Eich, has raised money in order to hire a dust abatement company to help keep the dust down on Kilpatrick Bridge Road, a dirt road.

“I’ve lived here 18 to 20 years, and I drive up and down,” Eich

said. “I see the prevailing winds take the dust into the water.”

Eich is working overtime at bringing awareness to the situation by drumming up support and donations.

“The dust ends up in the stream,” he said. “It’s counterproductive. There’s a lot of traffic down here—more than the stream can accommodate. With the donations, we see people in the community taking care of their community. It’s the willingness to support something we love. It’s an incredible resource, a super-fragile environment. I want to see kids see the same thing I get to see. The Nature Conservancy has done a really good job of preserving it and making it available.”

BATMAN FADES TO BLACK

etchum resident, actor and pop culture personality Adam West, 88, died Friday night in Los Angeles, after a short battle with leukemia.

Born William West Anderson on Sept. 19, 1928 in Walla Walla, Wash., West was the second of two sons. His father, Otto, was a wheat farmer; his mother, Audrey, a pianist and opera singer.

West and his wife Marcelle have lived in Ketchum since 1985. They also have a home in Palm Springs, Calif.

Drafted into the United States Army in the early 1950s, West served as an announcer on American Forces Network television.

In the late 1950s, West moved to Hollywood, where he scored roles in such shows as “The Detectives,” “The Big Valley,” “Outer Limits,” “Gunsmoke,” “The Real McCoys,” “Perry Mason,” “Maverick,” “Colt .45” and “Lawman.”

In 1966, West landed the role of a lifetime as the caped crusader of Gotham. Though it ran for only three years, “Batman,” the iconic show and character, stuck with him the rest of his career. The show aired two nights a week.

On the big screen, West played a wealthy husband who meets an early end in “The Young Philadelphians” (1959) with Paul Newman; was one of the first two humans on the Red Planet in “Robinson Crusoe on Mars” (1964); and contributed his velvety voice to the animated “Redux Riding Hood” (1997), which received an Oscar nomination for best short film.

More recently, he performed voice work on “The Fairly OddParents,” “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy,” in which he played Adam West, the lunatic mayor of Quahog, Rhode Island.

West was awarded a star on

the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012.

West also wrote two books, “Climbing the Walls” and “Back to the Batcave.”

“We came to Idaho in 1985, directly from L.A.,” West said in a Boise State Public Radio interview last year. “I love it because I’ve been able to do all kinds of things outdoors and, at the same time, not be interrupted and to keep reading good books—you know, it’s just a lovely place.”

West had an art show, “Criminals on Canvas and other works,” in December 2016, at Gilman Contemporary in Ketchum.

“Batman was a colorful and wild ride,” he said at the time.

“My paintings capture the humor, zaniness and depth of the Batman villains as well as the Freudian motivations of Batman as an all-too-human, venerable and funny vigilante superhero.”

This guest exhibition featured West’s original works along with newly created prints of the villains and characters from “Batman.”

“Delving into his creative mind was fascinating and he was so incredibly lovely to work with during his exhibition,” L’Anne Gilman, owner of Gilman Contemporary, said. “He was proud of his work and yet also so humble, grateful and genuinely funny. It was overall such a delightful experience and we are so saddened by his passing. We adored him and his family.”

West is survived by Marcelle, his wife of 47 years, and their (combined) six children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

His family issued a statement upon his death last week: “Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans’ lives. He was and always will be our hero.” tws

NEWS IN BRIEF

Bradshaw Announces Run For Ketchum Mayor

Ketchum resident and president of the Ketchum Innovation Center, Neil Bradshaw, has announced his candidacy for mayor of Ketchum, citing the need for a new city hall and the need for housing as the issues spurring his run.

The election will be held November 2018.

“Nothing has been accomplished on housing over the last four years, and we’ve seen a real lack of leadership around the issue of a new city facility for fire, police and city staff,” Bradshaw said.

As president of the board of directors for the Ketchum Community Development Corporation since its inception in 2008, Bradshaw has been involved in spearheading many successful community projects, from the creation of Ketchum Town Square and the Fourth Street Heritage Corridor, to the creation of a 32-unit rental workforce housing development, Northwood Place.

Bradshaw has lived in Ketchum for more than 12 years. He is a business advisor and principal with Murphy Business and Financial of Southern Idaho. He has a master’s degree in mechanical engineering and an MBA. When not working, Neil likes to spend time with his 14-year-old son, Caelin, and his new wife, Ivana Radlova.

RevUp Blaine

Blaine County residents can test drive and learn more about the benefits and details of owning an all-electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid at the final event of the RevUp Blaine program. The event will take place from 6–7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 15 at the Wood River Community YMCA in Ketchum. The RevUp Blaine team, Idaho Power and Idaho National Laboratory will all be available to answer questions and share experiences with EVs. The event is for those interested in learning more about purchasing EVs through RevUp Blaine, a limited-time program of the Sun Valley Institute to help Blaine County residents to buy EVs at a deeply discounted price. The vehicles available for purchase through RevUp Blaine are the Chevrolet Volt, Nissan Leaf, Audi A3 e-tron and BMW i3. More than 60 people have already enrolled in the program, with 10 EVs purchased or leased. The deadline to enroll was extended to June 30.

The discounts offered by RevUp Blaine are roughly $10,000 off the Nissan Leaf,

7.5 percent off the Chevy Volt, 7 percent off the BMW i3, and 6 percent off the Audi A3 e-tron.

Also, Idaho Power is offering a $300 incentive for RevUp Blaine participants to offset the cost of purchasing and installing a Level 2 home-charging station. These discounts and financing options will be described in detail at the June 15 event.

Similar projects have been piloted in Boulder County, Colo., Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Austin and the state of Minnesota. This is the first such project in Idaho.

Gil Shaham to Open Sun Valley Summer Symphony

Renowned violinist Lang Lang announced that he will be unable to perform at least through the summer, due to an ongoing injury to his left arm. The Sun Valley Summer Symphony confirms that Lang Lang cancelled his scheduled performance in Sun Valley on July 31.

Lang Lang’s office said that due to continued physical therapy needed on his left arm, Lang Lang would be forced to “prolong the cancellation of concerts through the end of the summer. He apologizes for any inconveniences this causes and looks forward to being back to making music soon.”

Instead, Gil Shaham will perform at the Sun Valley Summer Symphony’s July 31 concert instead.

“I’m so thrilled to welcome back good friend and colleague Gil Shaham for his fourth appearance with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony,” said Alasdair Neale, SVSS’s musical director. “It is particularly fitting that he open this season, as he was the soloist for our grand opening concert in the Sun Valley Pavilion in 2008. I can’t think of a more appropriate way to celebrate our 10th anniversary in the Pavilion.”

Shaham is renowned for his charismatic and masterful performances, and is described as playing with “unparalleled exuberance and astonishing skill” by The San Francisco Chronicle. He will perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D Major with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony.

evel in the joy of oblivion with “St. Terrible: The Gospel of Nothingness V.II,” June 15-17 at The Spot in Ketchum. A 360-degree immersive experience, the freak-folk production returns to Ketchum with new arrangements, a new look and a new approach.

Creator and Sun Valley native Zach Herbert, aka St. Terrible, describes the show as a “philosophical romp through a fantastical world,” which explores existential themes.

“It’s an attempt to grapple with the inherent nuances and hangups of existence,” he explained.

“I have an obsession with the idea of nothingness as an idea to approach life.”

Herbert has not been affiliated with a religion at any point in his life. But through his travels, he has broached various churches and institutions.

“I was taken in by the Harikrishna for a couple days when I was living on the streets of New Zealand, and I traveled through India and Thailand for a while, which has a lot of in-

fluences of Buddhism and Hinduism,” he said. “I think a lot of the writings and ideas that came into being for this show came through me being in India and Thailand—which are incredibly spiritual places.”

“The Gospel of Nothingness” premiered to sold-out houses at The Spot last December, and has evolved since its well-received Treefort Music Fest show in March.

“It’s a different perspective of the world and story that was told in December,” Herbert said.

“Thematically and musically, it’s very similar, but we have rearranged and rewritten things and there are some new songs, as well.

Aesthetically, it is very different—it will be more focused and cohesive. Our theme is neo-noir.”

A 15-person team of eclectic musicians and performers compose the cast of this noteworthy creation. Music in the show ranges from folk to psychedelic, and from rock to classical influences.

“The genre we run under is freak-folk, but it’s much more encompassing than that—spanning the genre gap,” Herbert said. “We have everything from

electric guitar to cello to saxophone to people who are literally just making strange noises with objects. A lot of music for me is not definitive—it’s a way to explore ideas and see how I feel about things. It’s a philosophical romp, like jumping around and splashing in puddles and seeing what happens.”

Throughout the show there are constant opportunities for audience participation and involvement.

“I think what was cool about the last show was that people felt the urge to be involved without any sort of prompting,” Herbert said. “We want people to step in and make this their own experience.”

“St. Terrible: The Gospel of Nothingness V.II” will take place at 8 p.m. Thursday, June 15, with tickets $15 per person, and at 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, June 16-17, with tickets $20 per person. Doors will open 15 minutes before show time. Tickets are available at spotsunvalley.com and will be available at the door, if numbers permit. The Spot is located at 220 Lewis Street, #2, Ketchum. tws

PET COLUMN NO BONES ABOUT IT

DO’S AND DON’TS OF OWNING A FEARFUL DOG

THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JUNE 14 - 20 FROM PICABO ANGLER

A

slow return to summer temperatures means we can expect a slow return to the epic fishing we saw on Silver Creek the first two weeks of the season. Plan on seeing a large variety of bugs and plenty of rising fish with each warming day.

Anglers should expect to see quite a few Green Drakes on the Creek this week. The Brown Drakes are all but gone for the season, but with the warmth, if we saw a freak occurrence some nights this week, we would not be surprised. The PMD “Pale Morning Dun” should also begin to come off in force this week.

The Callibaetis action remains strong as well as the small Baetis “Blue-Winged Olive” hatches and spinner falls.

Terrestrials are still a great bet, and a few Damsel flies should appear with the sun.

Baby Hoppers have made their way onto the scene and we should be able to cast smaller patterns in the next few weeks.

The Streamer action on the Creek has been really good under the cloudy weather, but bright sun is the forecast, so this action may drop off a bit.

Elsewhere, our freestone rivers, the Big Wood and the upper Big Lost, remain really high and really dangerous. Flows should increase all week. Stay away from this water, and be sure to keep your dog miles from this mess! If you want to swim them, take them to a local lake, pond or reservoir.

Flows on the South Fork of the Boise have dropped some. The outflows below the dam could increase if the flows coming in increase, so keep your eyes on the cfs before you make the commitment to go. If the flows haven’t been stable for a day or two, it’s probably not going to fish well. If the flows remain constant, we may begin to see the Salmon flies on the lower river.

Reaching way out, the Henrys Fork and the Owyhee are two outlying rivers from our area, but they are at least fishing.

For up-to-the-minute reports on the Owyhee, you can check out Idaho Angler in Boise. The Trout Hunter in Island Park can fill you in on everything Henrys Fork.

Magic Reservoir continues to fish well and it is a nice alternative and change from fishing the same areas until the waters drop on our local rivers.

Finally, we are blessed in the sense that we may not have a lot of places to fish but Silver Creek has been a world-class fishery since opening day!

Happy fishing, everyone!

ur hearts go out to the dog that is shy or even fearful about life. We are drawn to the dog in the back of the kennel at the shelter that appears to have had a rough life and is afraid to even come visit you.

We instinctually want to nurture this dog back to a happy dog. Or we are drawn to the puppy that crawls into your lap seeking shelter from the other puppies. As humans, we have big hearts and want nothing more than to help.

What is hard for us with healing hearts to fathom is that studies are now showing that temperament is genetic. So when we see the fearful dog, in the past we assume this little guy has been through some trauma of abuse.

But, the reality is that most dogs with solid temperaments can be horribly abused and still come out with happy tails.

The key evaluation for any dog that displays fearful behavior is recovery. How fast can a dog recover from a frightening event?

Within minutes? Hours? Days?

Months? The longer the recovery time, the more likely the fear cannot be conquered.

There are other factors, as well. How we treat our fearful dog is paramount. If we nurture

dependence and coddle the fear, our dog will more than likely sink into deeper fear. Dogs are literalists. If you pet the fear, this dog will see that as reward for that behavior. The dangerous part is that a fearful dog that is dependent upon its owner is most likely to become possessive of its owner. With possessiveness comes aggression. Even a fearful dog that initially retreats when afraid can very likely start using its natural instincts to guard what it thinks is his.

When you consider taking a fearful dog into your life, one of the biggest questions you should ask yourself is, “Am I a natural leader or am I a softie?” If you are a softie, then you must then ask yourself, “Am I willing to learn how to become a leader?”

Leadership, or providing guidance and boundaries, is the only way that a fearful dog can learn to cope with fearful situations.

As an example, a good leader will give their fearful dog a job to do in the face of that fearful situation. Instead of coddling him and petting him, telling him it’s all right, a good leader will refocus the dog and tell him what he should be doing.

A leader acts like a leader all day. Treating a fearful dog like a baby or a human is truly a death

sentence for this dog. Controlling food, sleeping space, resources and possessions, height, and yes, even affection, is a must to help a fearful dog to become self-confident. I did not say control love!

It is a ballet to be compassionate, loving, and yet directive and firm in boundaries. If you have a fearful or shy dog in your life, to truly help him cope, leadership is the kindest and most humane

IS NATURE GREEN OR PINK?

BY LESLIE REGO

Recently, I saw a field full of thousands of shooting star, creating such a saturation of color that I marveled at the wonders of nature. The deep fuchsia color of the petals of the flower against the green meadow, with the backdrop of the snow-covered Boulder Mountains, was a sight I had to blink my eyes at several times to be sure it was not an illusion.

Amongst the pink of the flowers were the bright-yellow dots that form the collar where the petals end and the stigma protrudes. The field was extremely boggy, which is probably what helped to create the profusion of flowers. The deep dark rich brown of the earth was also a marvelous contrast to the intense pink of the flower.

Generally, in the summertime, one thinks of nature as being many, many shades of green. At a distance, the meadow did seem to be mostly green, with slashes of pink and accents of yellow.

As I approached the flowers, the greens faded away, and I became surrounded with pinks: brighter and softer pinks, shocking pinks, lavender pinks, purple pinks.

The pinks gently changed, depending on how the light hit the petals or how the petals twisted and turned in the breeze. Now nature seemed to be made up of millions of tints or shades of

I like seeing the vistas of the mountains and the valleys, but I also like to immerse myself in smaller areas of natural surroundings. I hunkered down into the shooting star, as little

as I could make myself. The greens disappeared and the pinks loomed. I thought that if I were a bug, I would think of nature as being pink, not green. It really is all in the eye of the beholder.

n her inspiring commencement address for the Community School class of 2017, Muffy Davis spoke of the qualities that enable people who suffer horrible injuries to find the strength to survive and even thrive.

Many know Muffy’s story: she described it as a tree that changed her life as a young skier aiming for greatness in her sport. She was left paralyzed from the chest down but has nonetheless managed to create a rich life. A graduate of Stanford, married and a parent, Muffy has become a multi-medal Paralympic awardee in both winter and summer sports and a successful motivational speaker.

Muffy urged these graduates to adopt certain qualities she has embraced: one was RESILIENCY. The term has stayed with me this week as I have pondered its importance to the students, and as I have confronted sad news for the residents of this caring community. Resiliency is something that grows stronger as one faces and is tested by challenges. Each instance of failure, defeat or tragedy provides another opportunity to overcome inevitable difficulties.

COLUMN SCIENCE OF PLACE

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE

BY SARAH BAHAN

W

ith the Big Wood River spilling over its banks and this weekend’s rain, hail, and snow storms, I am constantly reminded of how much of our environment has been physically shaped by water.

The Quaternary Ice Age, which began about 2.6 million years ago and extends to the present, is marked by alternating periods of glaciation and more temperate climates, known as interglacial periods. Despite the recession of the continental ice sheet that once stretched down from Canada to kiss the northern edge of our state, and the disappearance of local glaciers, evidence of their prehistoric presence still abounds.

Whereas a river cuts a narrow V-shaped valley through the land, massive glaciers gouge out wide U-shaped valleys and carry enough rock and debris with them that they form ridges and hills along their edges known as moraines. Pettit, Alturas and Hell Roaring lakes all sit in such valleys, for example, and are flanked by terminal moraines marking the extent of the glaciers that carved them. Look up from any of these lakes and the dramatic profile of the Sawtooth Mountains is shaped by arêtes, horns, and cirques—the sharp ridges and basins formed by glacial erosion higher up.

Ice is not the only form of water that sculpted this dramatic landscape, however. During the last glacial period, which ended approximately 12,000 years ago, and immediately afterward, there was a lot more sur-

face water flowing over the land than there is today. As a result, giant lakes formed in large basins. Evidence of such lakes can be seen in benches delineated by previous water levels as well as the deep canyons that their floodwaters helped carve.

One such lake, Lake Bonneville, formed about 15,000 years ago in the basin that now cradles the Great Salt Lake. Its massive predecessor, which covered 51,000 square kilometers and was over 300 meters deep, breached its Great Basin confines near Red Rock Pass in southeastern Idaho and emptied into the Snake River.

Lake Missoula was another prehistoric lake that was created by an ice dam across the Clark Fork of the Columbia River and extended for hundreds of kilometers beyond the Idaho-Montana border. Its ice dam is thought to have ruptured dozens of times over a 2,000-year period, leading to a series of cataclysmic floods that carved out entire canyons at epic rates.

It is estimated that the largest floods may have discharged 10 to 60 cubic kilometers of water per hour (approximately 10 to 80 times the flow rate of the Amazon River) at speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour!

Though millennia have passed since these great deluges, our entire valley is defined by the river that runs through it—the Big Wood River—and its floodplain. Despite past efforts to control its flow, which lead to channelized stretches and increased sediment loads, large portions of the Big Wood still meander in lazy curves and

braided channels. Such natural characteristics have only become more evident and pronounced with recent high-water levels.

And all of these are just the features that we see above ground. The bedrock boundaries of the Wood River Valley’s two aquifers have been molded over time by an initial outflow of glacial sediment (up to 150 meters deep in places!), followed by lava flows that dammed and diverted the river down by Timmerman and the Picabo Hills, and a continuous process of erosion and deposition.

From the highest peaks to the depths of our aquifers, our surroundings tell an ongoing story of water and its movements across the landscape.

KYLE NELSON

K

BY JONATHAN KANE

yle Nelson, a newly minted graduate of Wood River High School, has a propensity for throwing high heat with a baseball at opposing batters. Next year he will do the same at Western Technical College in Minnesota.

“Playing baseball is what I think about most,” Nelson said.

“I enjoy every part of the game— playing, watching, studying and learning to get better.”

Nelson played for the Wood River Wolverines for all four years of high school, having been called up to varsity his freshman year for districts. He is a pitcher and middle infielder. He also plays American Legion baseball in the summer for the Wood River Wranglers.

“This is my third year,” Nelson said. “Last year we won state.”

But he found playing high school ball more difficult.

“It’s just hard to describe how much fun I have playing it,” he said. “That’s fueled by making a big play on defense or getting a really big hit. A big hit gets the team going and when the team is rolling, it makes winning a lot more fun.”

Kyle is a left-handed hitter but throws righty. He batted .320 for the Wolverines.

“We competed against much bigger schools in Twin Falls and Jerome,” he said. “But we did finish third in district.”

On defense, Kyle prefers pitching to playing middle infield.

“I’m a power pitcher and I like striking kids out,” he said.

“When you strike someone out to win a game, it’s super exciting.”

At Western Technical College, Nelson will play two years of ju-

nior college baseball.

“They’ve got a good team and the league they play in in Minnesota is very competitive,” he said.

Kyle was recruited as a walkon, but he’s “super excited for it. I then hope to transfer to division, I but I don’t know where yet.”

He started playing baseball at about 3 years old with his dad in the backyard.

“At 6, I started T-ball, and then played Little League at 12.

I remember going to the regionals in Meridian. It was so great to be with the team and a lot of fun to be competing against good teams.”

At age 13, Nelson started pitching.

“A coach said try it, and I liked it and decided to work hard to get good at it. I guess I like striking kids out because it’s super fun for me. I like to think I get more kids out than they get hits off of me,” Nelson said with a smile.

“Freshman year I played junior varsity, and then was called up for districts to varsity. It was a big deal for a freshman.”

For his sophomore and junior years, Nelson was a reliever. This past year, as a senior, he pitched 29 innings as a starter.

“I like starting more,” he said.

“As a reliever, you don’t know when you are going in, so it’s kind of a surprise. As a starter, you prepare before the game and you are ready to roll. As a reliever, it could be bases loaded or no one on.

“I’m a really competitive person and that leads to my success.

I’m that way in everything I do.

Winning makes me feel great and I like to leave everything on the field.” tws

HONORING YOUR FATHER AND GRANDFATHER

BY SENIOR CONNECTION

T

he Senior Connection suggested many activities and places to visit in our last two columns.

For Father’s Day, how about doing something entirely different? There is a great website called Journal Buddies that provides writing prompts for kids and adults. We thought it might be fun to use it to help kids of all ages express their feelings for their fathers and grandfathers by answering some basic questions. Here are a few to get you started: • My dad is special because…

• If my dad were a superhero, his power would be…

• I admire my dad because…

• When I think of my dad, I think of…

• My dad knows how to _____ better than anyone.

• My dad makes me laugh when…

• Something special I can do for my dad on Father’s Day is…

• How can I appreciate my grandpa on Father’s Day? • Father’s Day is important because…

On the flip side, this would be a great time to ask questions of your father and grandfather about their personal history, in the style of the national program Story Corps. Perhaps you can take the information from these fine men and create a fictional short story based on it or write a poem for and about them. Here are some suggestions to help you begin the interview: • What did it mean to you to become a father?

• What attributes did you inherit from your father?

Do you see them in me?

• When you hung out with your dad, what would make you proud?

• The most important thing a dad can do is…

• Your favorite memory of your dad is…

• What is the most important lesson that your dad taught you?

• What is the best advice you gave to your children as they were growing up?

• What activities did you share with your children when they were my age?

• Father’s Day is important because…

Whether you’re a child or an adult, these questions and their answers may lead to some great conversations. You’re bound to learn some unexpected facts about the different generations of men in your family. This could become the foundation of the tales you pass down to future children and grandchildren. Grandfathers and fathers—now could be the best time to start a journal of your earlier and present lives, while the memories are fresh.

Your children will treasure the journals.

In the meantime, enjoy Father’s Day with a family barbecue, a hike, a ride in a canoe, a boat or a raft, a movie in a cool theater, a round of golf—whatever you feel like doing to mark this special day.

And, if you can, work in a good conversation.

The Senior Connection will host a Father’s Day brunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

‘BRICK BY BRICK, HEART BY HEART’ St. Thomas Playhouse’s ‘Godspell’ builds community

BY YANNA LANTZ

A

cast of 15 young adults will appear in “Godspell,” June 21-24, as part of St. Thomas Playhouse’s Summer Theater Project for Valley youth. Created in 1971 by Broadway’s legendary Stephen Schwartz (“Wicked,” “Pippin” and “Children of Eden”), this production is a new adaptation. “‘Godspell’ is structured as a revision of the Christ story, so it can be imagined in many different ways,” said Kevin Wade, the show’s director. “Our interpretation takes place in an abandoned factory where there are transient people living, and the surrounding world mirrors that abandoned state. The story follows the building of a community from the ground up through the teachings of Christ.”

For St. Thomas Playhouse’s 15th anniversary, the company wanted to bring back one of their favorite pieces. “‘Godspell,’ being the inaugural show that spurred St. Thomas Playhouse, we thought to be a perfect choice for our Summer Theater Project,” said Sara Gorby, education director and co-choreographer with Peter Burke. “Additionally, it’s a great ensemble show for this incredible group of actors. It’s sometimes great to have shows with star vehicle roles, but having an ensemble onstage, the whole show presents great challenges and learning opportunities, as well.”

The cast features Anik Zarkos as Jesus and Isaac Brannon as Judas. The talentpacked ensemble cast stars Kagen Albright, Alec England,

Sarah Feltman, Kayla Hanson, Annabelle Lewis, Megan Mahoney, Julia Ott, Spencer Pfau, Kendal Piggins, Gina Pulleiro, Wyatt Root, Elena Vorm and Annabel Webster.

According to the cast, the thematic messages in “Godspell” are numerous. For Annabelle Lewis, the musical is about humanity. “‘Godspell’ goes through the journey of Jesus Christ teaching his lessons, but I also think it shows the humanity within all of us,” Lewis, a Wood River High School senior, said. “We all have imperfections, but there’s beauty within the imperfections.”

For Pfau, a young adult who has been with St. Thomas Playhouse for many years, the play teaches the power of forgiveness.

“There may come a time in the show where Jesus is shunning us for doing something wrong, but he always comes full circle and lets us back into his heart again,” she said. “Even if you do mess up, which is bound to happen, whoever you are, the power of

forgiveness is still there.”

For newcomer Feltman, the musical explores the importance of community.

“The piece shows the power of building a community and the challenges and trials you have to overcome to make a connected community,” Feltman said.

“It shows how the coming of one person, whoever that may be, can bring a community of people closer together to make one tight unit that will always be there for one another.”

“Godspell” aspires to impart some beautiful messages to its audiences, religious or not.

As cast member Pfau said, “This show translates the base meaning of the scripture in a way people can really relate to it.

I think that’s really impactful.”

“Godspell” will run at 7 p.m., June 21-24, at the Community School Theater in Sun Valley.

Tickets are available at stthomasplayhouse.org or by calling (208) 726-5349, ext. 15. tws

‘IT AIN’T PRETTY’ THURSDAY JUNE 15 7PM / MAGIC LANTERN CINEMAS / KETCHUM Help benefit Girls on the Run by attending the local screening of “It Ain’t Pretty,” a documentary about the challenges and triumphs of female big-wave surfers fighting sexism in the water, in competition, in the media, and in the surf industry, with the support of a closely-knit community of like-minded women. Featuring Ocean Beach surfer Bianca Valenti’s journey from childhood phenom to world-class big-wave charger, this probing, incendiary and thoughtprovoking film takes audiences inside a growing movement of women that are shattering the shallow and sexualized images of female surfers in the media.

“I wanted to make a film that authentically portrays who we are as women surfers/athletes and encourage women and youth to not be defined by what others say,” said Dayla Soul, the film’s director.

“Women surfers can create their own paths to fulfilling their dreams and stand up for what they believe in—never second-guessing who they are or what shape, look or ability they have.”

Co-writer/editor Jody Banks will be in attendance, and will host a Q&A following the film. Taxdeductible tickets are $20; pre-purchase tickets at girlsontherunwrv.org/aintpretty.

SPONSORED LOCAL FOOD FOR THOUGHT

SUMMER PRODUCE IS HERE!

BY LOCAL FOOD ALLIANCE

R

ows of white-capped tents dotting the center of town can only mean one thing: summer and the Wood River Farmers’ Markets (WRFM).

This is the time to take full advantage of local and regional farmers who provide flavor-packed seasonal food twice each week. Much of the produce is picked that morning and brought straight to market the same day. Not only does that make it some of the freshest, most delicious available, it means you’re buying your food straight from the hands that grew it.

Yesterday, the Ketchum market (Tuesdays, 2-6 p.m. through Oct. 10) kicked off with new vendors—including Sara Berman and Ed Zinager of Squash Blossom Farm in Bellevue. Look for the debut of the new Wood River Sustainability Center-Local Food Alliance food truck later this month. In the first week of July, note that the market will be held Monday, July 3, due to the Fourth of July holiday.

The Hailey market, opening on June 29, has moved across Main Street to Carbonate Street, adjacent to Sun Valley Brewery, and operates an hour later (3-7 p.m.) on Thursdays through Oct. 12. Join friends

(new and old) for live music, an outdoor beer garden and food trucks, along with fun events coordinated by WRFM, City of Hailey and The Chamber.

The Wood River YMCAWRFM incentive program (coordinated by Local Food Alliance) is back this year.

Shoppers at both markets can earn a free day-pass to the Y with eligible fresh food purchases of $15 or more.

Passes are available at the red WRFM tent.

The success of our farmers’ markets depends on our fresh, local and regional food purchases. So come stock up on same-day harvest, grass-fed meat, fresh breads and more every Tuesday and Thursday.

Local Food Alliance is a nonprofit whose mission is to create a vibrant local food system in the Wood River Valley. For more information, visit localfoodalliance.org.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Rosalie Sorrels, Idaho legend, dies

Rosalie Sorrels, a folk music legend, died on Sunday at the age of 83. She lived in a rustic cabin that her father built, and where she was raised.

Her mother’s family lived on a farm near Twin Falls, and her paternal grandfather, Robert Stanton Stringfellow, was an Episcopalian minister who, after preaching around the state, settled on Grimes Creek, near Idaho City.

Among her father’s brothers, two were “card-carrying members of the Communist Party.” One was a college professor, the other a newspaperman, she said in an interview in 2013. Her mother managed The Book Shop in Boise for nearly two decades, In the early 1960s, with husband Jim Sorrels, a fellow theatre and music enthusiast, Sorrels relocated to Salt Lake City with their family, where they helped found the Intermountain Folk Music Council. A few years later, she headed east to New York where she became part of the folk music movement, and was friends with such musicians as Pete Seeger and Dave Van Ronk.

In 1966, Sorrels played the Newport Folk Festival, in Newport, Rhode Island, cementing her reputation as one of the most important voices in the movement.

Sorrels played often in the Wood River Valley. One of her regular gigs was at the Leadville Espresso in Ketchum (now The Picket Fence), owned by her friend, the late Millie Wiggins. Coincidentally, her grandfather, Rev. Stringfellow, used to preach in the same building when it was Ketchum’s only church. In 1978, Sorrels and her old performing partner, Bruce “Utah” Phillips, played at the second annual Northern Rockies Folk Festival. She ultimately made 27 albums and toured extensively before settling down for good at Grimes Creek.

Her final CD, “My Last Go Round,” was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2009.

Owner of Shangri-La Dies

Wei Fen Zhou, 49, a resident of Blaine County, died last Wednesday, June 7, after a long battle with cancer.

Zhou was born Sept. 19, 1968 in Shanghai, China, where she was raised.

She opened her treasure-filled shop in Ketchum, Shangri-La, in 2000. Wei retained her strong interest in Chinese art and history, and facilitated and led tours to her native land. Her two young sons, and husband Brent Van Bueren, survive her.

A service will be held from 2-4:30 p.m.

Wednesday, June 14, at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden south of Ketchum.

Hearing on Quigley To Be Held

A public hearing will be held on the Quigley subdivision proposal at Hailey City Hall at 5:30 p.m. Monday, June 19.

The project is planned as a 175-200-unit residential area to be built over three phases. The Blaine County Planning and Zoning Commission will make a recommendation regarding the proposed plan, ordinance changes, recreational greenbelt, neighborhood business districts and overlay districts.

The community is invited to this public hearing and may submit written comments to planning@haileycityhall.org.
