DRUG COALITION STARTS ITS ENGINES Road Rally to return, new programs begin

ngines rev and anticipation surges in preparation for the Drug Coalition’s 10th annual Sun Valley Road Rally, which will kick off the organization’s packed plans for the summer. The Drug Coalition, a nonprofit based in Hailey, serves all of Blaine County by helping to raise awareness about drug-free and healthy lifestyle choices for youth. “We really want these youth to stand side by side and encourage each other to stand for their own lives and develop healthy lifestyles that are going to set them up for success in the future,” said Emilee Struss, director of the Drug Coalition. “There’s not one area to prevention. You can’t just look to the parents. You can’t just look at the kids. You can’t just look at the vendors. It’s got to be an entire collaborative effort.” As the organization’s main fundraiser, community involvement is exactly what the Drug Coalition seeks for the Road Rally. This year, proceeds from the rally will go toward building the organization’s youth programs and collaborating with other nonprofits. The two-day event returns on Friday and Saturday, July 20 and 21, and will boast a variety of different activities.

Kicking things off, the Ketchum Cruz and Block Party will take place on Friday, with food vendors and a car show at Festival Meadows, between Ketchum and Sun Valley, on Sun Valley Road. Additionally, the Drug Coalition will raffle off a 2018 Ford Raptor. Tickets are $100 each or $500 for six and can be purchased at Silver Creek Ford in Hailey, or outside of Irving’s Red Hots in Ketchum. The lucky winner will be drawn at the actual event on Saturday, July 21. Drivers will take off down Gannett Road in Bellevue on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Qualified drivers will speed through the five-mile stretch of road in some of the fastest cars in the world. The Drug Coalition is only getting things started with the Road Rally. The organization has several new developments, the first of which is a partnership with NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. “What we’re wanting to fund this year is more collaborative efforts so that we’re better using our resources in Blaine County as nonprofits; like us and NAMI,” Struss said. “We thought mental health and substance abuse are so intertwined, so why don’t we develop them as a youth program together?” Building on this partnership, the Drug Coalition and Wood River Valley branch of NAMI will launch a pro-

gram called the Summer Club Hangout. The free program will be held every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Community Campus in Hailey, through August 14. With collaboration with several other nonprofits, the Hangout’s activities will range from gardening projects with The Hunger Coalition to floating the Big Wood River from Rotary Park to River Run in Ketchum. “We are really opening up this summer,” Struss said. “Everything we have access to in the Valley; it’s really amazing.”

GATHER IN THE SAWTOOTHS

Sawtooth Valley Gathering to celebrate four years of music BY DANA DUGAN

t’s all about the fourth this year at the Sawtooth Valley Gathering in Stanley, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, July 27-28. It’s the live music festival’s fourth year in business. And one of the headliners is MarchFourth. Founded and produced by James Fowler and his Nothing But Love organization, the festival keeps improving with age. Held in Pioneer Park, the setting is up a hill from Stanley’s downtown, which sits at 6,265 feet above sea level. “We’ll have an increased production value with full second stage, so it’s essentially two main stages,” said Fowler, a Boise resident who has also lived in the Wood River Valley on and off for much of his life. Both the Sawtooth stage and the Nothing But Love stage have arguably the most dramatic backdrop of any live music event in the country, provided by a panoramic view of the iconic Sawtooth Mountains. The stages will allow headliners to play on both stages. As well as MarchFourth from Portland, Ore., other headliners include Fruition, the Shook Twins, California supergroup Tim Bluhm, Greg Loiacono, Scott Law and Brian Rashap; Grant Farm from Colorado; the Jon Stickley Trio from Asheville, North Carolina; Free Peoples from the Bay Area of California; Brad Parsons; Lounge on Fire from Boise; and TK & The Holy Know Nothings, also from Portland. Bands from the Wood River Valley include Mia Edsall, Cousins Jimmy and Sofa King. “A few years ago, my dream was to have the Wood Brothers and Railroad Earth, but when I was thinking about it, the Shooks and Fruits were also on my list,” Fowler said. “It’s a big part of why we’re doing it.” MarchFourth will be the full-moon headliner on Friday night, and then Fruition will close out Saturday night. “It’s going to be a real collaborative year,” Fowler said. “Fruition are best pals with Shook Twins, Jon Stickley, Grant Farm, Scott Law and Brad Parsons. We booked all their friends—with them in mind; it solidified our concept, which we came up with three days after the festival last year. Most of the bands we wanted ended up on the bill.” “Tyler Grant of Grant Farm is a national flat-picking champ,” he added. Another addition this year is the quiet family camping lot on Wall Street across from the Kasino Club. There will also be workshops this year, including Saturday morning yoga with Kali Basman from Colorado on the festival lawn, and a meditation class with Michael Sapiro from Boise, who impressed Fowler after he led a class with 200 people at Treefort Music Fest in March. There are 30 vendors this year with a mix of arts and crafts, plus food and drink, including barbecue from Lower Stanley’s Bridge Street Grill, Lime and a Coconut Thai Food, Sawtooth Brewery serving the one-off Sawtooth Valley Gathering Golden Ale, and Mountain Village’s cocktail bar, with some of Warfield Distillery’s labels. There will also be henna, face painting, and biodegradable glitter projects. “The Sawtooth Family Jam is new for this year,” Fowler said. “It will be with a bunch of our favorite players Saturday morning,” after the yoga from 11 a.m. to noon. A free shuttle will run back and forth to Mountain Village in Stanley. Mountain Village has a new venue, Velvet Falls Dance Hall, where the late-night shows will be held. Lounge on Fire and DJ Kelbel (Kellen Asebroek from Fruition) will play on Friday, and the Brad Parsons Trio will play on Saturday. The free shuttle will also run for the late-night shows. “Brad is one of those guys—he works harder than anyone else up there,” Fowler said.

NEWS COMMUNITY

“A lot of heart and soul,” said Luke Henry, SVG’s coordinator of events, production and promotion. “He’s well respected by his peers.” Henry, who also calls himself the sponsorship liaison, has worked hard to bring the community into the mix. The festival’s main sponsors are Mountain Village and Sawtooth Brewery, Pioneer Cabin Company and new sponsor, Stanley’s own Sawtooth Adventure Co., which will be running river trips all that weekend. The town of Stanley is fully sold out for rooms but there is open camping in the region. Camping in Pioneer Park and on Wall Street is by reservation only, accessible through the Sawtooth Valley Gathering website, sawtoothvalleygathering.com. Of course, volunteers are always welcome, with signups through the website. “The more, the merrier, for sure,” Fowler said. “We could always use more.” Fowler and Henry have lots of support, and a lifetime of festival-going and music-loving experiences from which to gauge the festival’s ongoing success. “Greg Wallace, the caretaker of Pioneer Park, is our spirit animal and we get so much from Mountain Village, Stanley Bakery and Bridge Street Grill and Cabins, among others. We have good people working with us up there.” The capacity in the park is just 2,000. It keeps it intimate, but diverse. Last year there were 1,100 attendees at SVG. “We’ll have more this year, and that feels just fine,” Fowler said. “This is our passion and we work on it all year to make sure it happens,” Henry said. “It’s about Stanley as much as anything,” Fowler said. “It puts your ego in check. You go up there and it brings out the light in you. I approach it every year as the last one; I try to put our very best foot forward. I’d like to see it continue for 20 to 30 years or more.” As icing on the cake, the birthdays of Katelyn and Laurie Shook and of Fowler’s mother, Robyn Pavich, also happen to fall on Saturday, July 28. “Bring your camping gear and dancing shoes,” Henry said. The hills will be alive. tws

PROTECTING THE PLACES WE LOVE Community saves RiverFest

BY MIKE MCKENNA

t was a nightmare come true, but only for a moment. Thanks to the heroic and selfless people of the community, what could have been a tragedy turned into a triumph. After nearly a year of planning, the Wood River Land Trust’s fourth annual RiverFest was finally underway last Wednesday afternoon and it was going great. A huge crowd from Hailey’s famous Days of the Old West parade had made its way down to the river to celebrate Independence Day. The weather was perfect. The 20 food, craft and nonprofit booths were rocking. The Land Trust handed out free Toni’s Ice Cream to folks of all ages, and the headliners from Salt Lake City, Swagger, had just gotten into their groove onstage. Everything was perfect … and then it wasn’t. Smoke started rising up by the path through the Draper Wood River Preserve, between the pavilion and Bow Bridge. Then came visible bursts of flames and calls of “Fire!” Luckily, one

of Hailey’s finest, Officer Brad Gelskey, and I, the guy in charge of the event, were close by. In the few seconds it took us to get there, however, nearly a dozen folks had literally jumped into the flaming brush and were trying to stomp out the spreading flames. The cottonwood duff was everywhere, though, and the flames sprang up too fast for mere feet to put it out. Calls had already gone out for help and within moments people were being cleared and sirens could be heard. Hailey Fire and Rescue Fire Inspector Christian Ervin and police officers cleared the area as locals came up to me, saying, “I saw who did it!” In no time flat, an all-star team of firefighters was on the scene and the suspect was in the back of a squad car. It didn’t take long before I got word the festival would be able to go back on. So I ran all way up to Bullion Street, but it was too late. As the officers there explained, most of the large crowd had left. It was pretty much over. All that effort and the stress of putting on a

big, family-friendly festival on the Fourth of July for nothing— wasted by someone’s careless act. As I walked back to RiverFest, my heart cracked a little. And then someone came over and offered me a pat on the back, and then another. And then I started getting texts of encouragement, and then someone bought me beer. Before I knew it, Wood River and Hailey Fire Chief Craig Aberbach said the show could go back on. When I took the stage to announce the band, Up A Creek, only a couple hundred hearty folks were still scattered about. But I was no longer bummed out that RiverFest had been ruined by an act of idiocy. The fire was put out. The perpetrator—a 40-year-old intoxicated man from Shoshone—was arrested. The bouncy houses were reinflated, Sawtooth Brewery’s kegs were re-tapped and the music flowed again. I’ve never been more proud of my community. This place is full of heroes. It turns out that the Land Trust’s slogan is true;we really do protect the places we tws love here.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Ketchum Fire Department Suspends Open Burning

As high temperatures and low humidity add to the potential threat of wildfire danger, the Ketchum Fire Department has implemented a restriction on open burning on all public and private lands, roads and trails situated within the boundaries of the City of Ketchum. Attended backyard fires in an established fire ring, approved metal container or outdoor fireplace are permitted at this time. These restrictions will remain in place until further notice. For additional information, contact the City of Ketchum Fire Department at (208) 726-7805.

Learn About Water Rights And Usage

The Idaho Conservation League will host a free presentation about water rights and usage with the ICL’s water associate, Marie Callaway, 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 18, at the Konditorei restaurant in Sun Valley. The discussion will touch on why water rights are increasingly a significant focus in our community, and in the Western U.S. Callaway will also explain how people, businesses, and communities secure the rights to use water, and address the reasons that management of it in the Big Wood River basin is unique among many Idaho areas. “The Idaho Conservation League works hard to safeguard Idaho’s rivers, lakes and streams—now and in the future,” said Betsy Mizell, the organization’s Central Idaho community engagement associate. This is a “great place to learn about water rights and water use.” Matt Robinson, the Konditorei’s manager, will also discuss how the restaurant is taking steps to reduce its environmental footprint by maintaining sustainable practices in its daily and long-term operations.

ELEVATE YOUR PALATE

Local Food Alliance to hold dining series BY YANNA LANTZ

oin Local Food Alliance for Elevated Table, a three-part dining series focused on the farmto-table experience. Elevated Table will take place at 5:30 p.m. Friday, July 13, at Squash Blossom Farm; Friday, Aug. 10, at Hillside Ranch; and Friday, Sept. 14, at Nighthawk Farm. “The Elevated Table is a truly special farm-totable experience,” said Stacy Whitman, co-founder and communications director for LFA. “You can literally taste the freshness and quality of the food, much of which is harvested within 24 to 48 hours of the event. Handcrafted appetizers and four delicious courses prepared by talented local chefs are enhanced by seasonal cocktails, regional wines and an idyllic setting. It’s really fun and interesting to meet the small local and regional farmers who produce the food for the Elevated Table—you can learn about their lives and hear their stories.” Sean Temple, of Warfield Brewery and Distillery, is the head chef for all three 2018 Elevated Table dinners. “As a chef, Sean embodies the ideals of the farm-to-table movement,” Whitman said. “At the Warfield, he works directly with local and regional farmers to source the freshest seasonal ingredients and builds his menus around them. On most Tuesdays throughout the market season, he can be found shopping for fresh-picked produce at the Wood River Farmers’ Market in Ketchum.” At Squash Blossom Farm, in Bellevue, owners Sara Berman and Ed Zinader bring youth, passion and energy to the farming scene. “Sara and Ed are passionate about biointensive farming—utilizing cover crops, building soil and

promoting biodiversity,” Whitman said. “Squash Blossom Farm will provide fresh greens, radishes, herbs, microgreens and more for the first Elevated Table dinner this Friday.” Hillside Ranch has produced high-quality malt barley crops for more than 45 years. They will provide wheat and barley berries for their Elevated Table, featuring Chris Kastner of CK’s Real Food as a guest chef. Located just south of Bellevue, Nighthawk Farm is an eco-friendly homestead off Highway 75. A flag declaring “Farm Hard or Die” flies next to the Idaho state flag along the family’s driveway. “Raising chickens and farm-fresh eggs, Nighthawk Farm is sure to offer an unforgettable September night,” Whitman said. Taite Pearson, formerly of Ketchum restaurants Zinc and Sego, will be the guest chef for the dinner in September. Funds raised from Elevated Table will support the LFA, a program of the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience. Funds from the Elevated Table dinners will be put toward development of a Food System Strategic Plan, under the guidance of food system analyst Ken Meter. For Whitman, local food matters. “At LFA, we believe that local and regional food is the most powerful lever of change for the individual, economic and environmental health of the Wood River Valley,” she said. “That’s why we work hard every day to increase access to locally grown food and cultivate our local food movement.” Find more information on LFA and the Elevated Table series at localfoodalliance.org. tws

Fishing R epoRt

COLUMN NO BONES ABOUT IT THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JULY 11 - 17, FROM PICABO ANGLER

he summer bugs are here and the hatches are gaining steam daily. With the water dropping and more and more fishing areas opening up, it should be a great week on the water. Expect fewer anglers this week and great conditions. More hot weather is in the forecast, so begin to think about fishing early and staying late. The afternoons will provide nice fishing opportunity as well, but be prepared for the sun, with full coverage. Buffs, sun gloves and long-sleeved shirts and pants will make your day more comfortable. The Trico action continues to slowly ramp up on Silver Creek. It is still a month away on most other rivers. The more the heat builds, the more the Trico action should build. To catch the Spinner Falls, be on the water when the air temp hits 70 degrees. If the Trico action isn’t heavy, or even if it is, stay until mid to late morning for the Baetis Spinner Falls. You’ll know it’s happening when you see them crawling down your waders to lay eggs on the bottom and flying into your glasses! Damselflies are also bringing fish to the surface up and down the Creek. This afternoon activity normally starts after lunch. Watch the downstream side of the weed beds for fish scooping the Damsels off the surface. The last of the spring hatches can be found on the South Fork of the Boise as the Salmonfly continues to make its way up to the dam. If you want to fish this hatch, you better go now. The weekend should see plenty of boats on the water. It is a great opportunity to watch fish eat giant foam flies! The upper Lost River is almost in shape and there are fish to catch in the areas where you can find holding water. This may involve walking a bit between spots, but there is hardly a lovelier place for a walk between fish! If you go, try attractors like Trudes and Stimulators. Try dropping a Green Drake Nymph below these if you aren’t getting the fish to look up. Finally, the Big Wood, although busy, is fishing very, very well. The Green Drakes should be on their last few days of the season upstream of Ketchum this week. Keep fishing the fly, though, and mix in Stimulators, Parachute Adams, Chernobyl Ants and Copper Johns as droppers. Happy fishing, everyone!

DOG TO DOG TRUST-BUILDING BY FRAN JEWELL

s our population grows, so does our love for our dogs. Many of us love being with our dogs so much we have multiples. Every place we go, there are dogs. People are so in love with their dogs, they want to take their dogs everywhere. There are more dogs on our wilderness trails, bike paths, and even on our city streets than there were even five years ago. Every public event will find dogs along, even if dogs are not invited. Our dogs experience enormous emotional pressure that most of us never stop to consider. Just as many people do not immediately trust, or even like, other people, most dogs are the same way. Yes, there are some that by nature or by breed want to be with other dogs. But, many dogs have had bad experiences with dog attacks from off-leash dogs with poor or no recall. Some dogs have had bad experiences with people. As dog owners, we want quality of life for our dogs so we immediately think taking them for hikes or walks is the call for the day. Indeed, there is nothing more joyful than a dog experiencing the enticing smells and scenes in the woods or along the bike path! The hard thing with the increasing dog population is that dogs are forced into relationships with other dogs much too quickly. There are many breed as well as personality conflicts that arise. I’ve discussed breed conflicts and differences previously. Recently, I brewed the perfect storm at my house. I introduced a Norwich terrier to my pack of German shepherds. If you have ever seen a small, tenacious terrier next to a full-grown or puppy German shepherd, the differences immediately hit you smack in the face. The size is the first thing. The confidence is the second. Two very confident breeds, one already established in a pack situation, immediately produces territorial as well as confidence conflicts. Who shall be in charge? The answer to that one is pretty simple. I am!!! But, the dogs must get a chance to explore each other in safety and know that I am going to protect everyone. Secondly, they need time with that feeling of safety. Most of us just expect dogs to immediately get along with each other when they see another dog. If they don’t, the dogs are immediately labeled aggressive when, in fact, we humans are the ones that put them in a situation where they feel unsafe and need to protect themselves. So, how did I introduce the Norwich to my pack? I took three days. The Norwich was given freedom alone in my yard to explore, so he knew where he was. Then he was placed in the safety of a very large, very tall exercise pen when I let my dogs out one by one. Each of them got to see each other and sniff in safety. After becoming used to each other and seeing a noticeable difference in the excitement level, which took several hours, I let the low man on the totem pole, Cloud, meet the Norwich. They were both quite nervous, and I only let the interaction take place for a few minutes. I walked quickly around the yard, which kept them moving and not fixating on each other. I kept a leash on the terrier so I could

control things if I had to. I had each of them do “come” and “sit” for treats next to each other under my control. I would not tolerate bullying one another for the treat. The next day was exactly the same way. On day three, all the dogs no longer saw the Norwich as anything but a part of the daily fixture. One by one, I let them together in the yard. The point of all of this is that trusting another dog takes time. It takes organization and it takes enough management that everyone feels safe with each other. When we force dogs into situations where they don’t know other dogs—heck, you don’t even know the other dog—and you expect civility and trust, it is being unfair to everyone. This is when accidents and defensive fights happen. Find space such as a large yard, take your time, and manage the interactions with tools such as exercise pens and long lines or leashes, as a few examples. Remember, not all dogs are golden retrievers that love everyone and every dog. Be kind, be patient and be prepared with tools to stop a fight if necessary. But, most of all, prevent fights in the first place by letting the dogs build trust with one another.

COLUMN SKETCHBOOK HIKING

BY LESLIE REGO

MY HIKE TO MILL LAKE

here are several different definitions of dawn: astronomical dawn, when the sky is not completely dark and the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon; nautical dawn, when the sun is 12 degrees below the horizon and there is enough sun for some objects to be distinguishable; and civil dawn, when the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon and there is enough light to be able to see with ease. Finally, there is sunrise, when the sun actually appears above the horizon. I like to hike early in the morning, sketchbook in hand, and can find myself in the forest during any of these times. If I want to follow the moon, I begin before nautical dawn, while it is still dark outside. Civil dawn is a marvelous time to hike because I am surrounded with cool mountain air and often a bit of mist. At some point during the hike, I see the sunlight flow over the mountain peaks. My hike to Mill Lake started just after sunrise when the sun was casting long shadows along the trail. In early July, the forest is replete with the beautiful white blossom of thimbleberry.

The flower is quite small in comparison to the large, jungle-like leaves of the plant. Between the size and the verdant green of the leaf, I feel like I am traipsing through a tropical scenery. Native Americans liked the berries fresh or dried, cooked into a jam or made into a beverage. The large leaves were also utilized— they lined cooking pits or baskets and could be wrapped around meat for baking or storage. As I hiked along, I stopped from time to time to create quick, small sketches of the landscape, or to draw a closeup of a particular plant or tree. For several years I have passed by a twisted lodgepole pine sapling. I would always say to myself, “Some day, I will stop and draw this tree!” Then I would continue on. This year I finally said to myself, “Why am I not slowing down to draw this lovely sapling? If I wait much longer, it will no longer be a youngster and will lose its charming appearance.” So I stopped and drew. I enjoyed each turn in the trunk. I loved replicating the gently cascading branches. The pine needles were soft with the beginnings of this year’s growth. The little sapling is now etched into my memo-

ry and has become a permanent member of my sketchbook. Whether it is astronomical dawn, nautical dawn, civil dawn or sunrise, drawing allows you to slow down and take in the changing light. This coming Saturday, July 14, I will be in Adams Gulch by the picnic tables alongside the parking lot. If you want to enjoy the early morning and do some nature drawing, meet me at 8:30 a.m.—not quite early dawn, but probably the earliest I can expect

BY THE SUN VALLEY INSTITUTE

ur food system is vital to local quality of life; it can create local jobs, nourish residents, and restore our land and ecosystems. Conversely, food and agriculture can deplete the local economy and quality of life when it is imported, costly and harmful to land and water. Given the critical role food plays locally and globally, once again, this year’s Sun Valley Forum includes a major focus on resilient food systems and growing our local food economy. The fourth annual Sun Valley Forum, “Turning Risk Into Opportunity: Vision, Courage, Innovation,” takes place July 31–August 3, 2018, at The Limelight Ketchum. The Forum is hosted by Sun Valley Institute to accelerate the transformation to sustainable, equitable, and secure—resilient—communities. Each year, approximately 250 leaders and innovators from business, government, advocacy, sports, entertainment and philanthropy gather to share strategies, catalyze collaborations, and drive courageous leadership. Main-stage discussions cover global trends as well as local and regional opportunities. In addition to government and business leaders, food speakers include Matthew Dillon, director of agricultural policy at Clif Bar; venture investor Victor

Friedberg and farm financier Alex Mackey of Iroquois Valley Farms; and innovator Renske Lynde of FoodSystem6. With inspiration from successes elsewhere, we’ll explore how to scale change at a local level. Local farmers and innovators will discuss how regional partnerships and local investment can keep farms operating and thriving. On August 31, please join us and Ken Meter of Crossroads Resource Center, one of the country’s most experienced food system analysts, for a working session to advance development of Blaine County’s regional food economy—free and open to local and regional food system stakeholders, Forum participants, and you!
