Essential Services Facilities Q&A Q. How would the general obligation bond be paid? A. The city’s preferred approach would be to pay project costs incrementally by issuing bond anticipation notes (BANs). A bond anticipation note is a short-term loan issued by a municipality to borrow against a voter-approved bond. BANs would be issued as project costs were incurred and for amounts needed for specific elements of the project. No tax assessment is levied until the final construction is complete and all costs are known. The general obligation bond would then be issued in the amount outstanding for the BANs and other costs incurred for the project, which could be s everal years after the vote approving the general obligation bond. This approach allows costs to be managed throughout the project and ensures only the actual costs are levied on properties. Alternatively, the city could issue the entire bond amount of $23.1 million shortly after the voters approved the bond. This approach levies the entire amount at the beginning of project development.

Ketchum voters will decide on May 17 whether or not to approve a $23.1 million general obligation bond to replace the aging city hall facility on East Avenue.
KETCHUM VOTERS TO DECIDE ON NEW CITY HALL Council approves measure for May primary election
BY TERRY SMITH
K
etchum officials have until May 17 to convince voters they need a new city hall. The Ketchum City Council on Feb. 16 approved putting a $23.1 million 30-year general obligation bond before the city’s electorate in the May primary election for a new facility to replace the 42-year-old structure at the corner of East Avenue and Fifth Street. A two-thirds majority is needed for approval. The $23.1 million is an upper limit and is not necessarily the amount the city would collect from property owners to fund the new facility. The city tentatively plans to build the new facility at the site of the current structure, but the ultimate location has not yet been determined. According to the current plan, the new facility would house city offices and operations, a council meeting room and the police department. The fire department would be moved to city-owned property on Lewis Street. Ketchum Mayor Nina Jonas described the need for a new city hall in a Feb. 1 newsletter. “City hall currently houses administration, communications, emergency operations center, police and fire departments,” Jonas stated. “The building is deteriorating, is not up to code, is not compliant with the 1990
Americans with Disabilities Act and is undersized for current city activities, let alone for the future. “Withy today’s code and homeland security requirements, city hall would not be able to legally move into the building it occupies today. Times and needs have changed.” City officials recognized the need for a new city hall as early as 2001, and a study completed in 2003 determined a cost estimate then of $13.8 million. However, Jonas explained that inflation has now nearly doubled the cost, and any further delays would increase the current estimate of $23.1 million by about $1 million per year. City officials pointed out in a fact sheet on the proposal that one of the important considerations for a new facility is council chambers, which currently holds only about 50 people and is not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. In addition to being used for council chambers, the current meeting room is utilized by numerous other governmental entities, including Mountain Rides Transportation Authority, the Blaine County Housing Authority, Ketchum Urban Renewal Agency, the Ketchum Planning and Zoning Commission and as an emergency operations center. The room is also used for numerous other public events.
Ketchum Mayor Nina Jonas
Because of the limited capacity of the room, the city explained that “several times throughout the year the city must rent space elsewhere to accommodate a larger capacity, adding costs to taxpayers.” The city also reported that the current police and fire department facilities are substandard because of space restrictions, the current facility lacks needed “technology infrastructure,” and the building has both “safety and structural problems.” A new city hall facility has not yet been designed, but the city council, prior to deciding to put the issue to voters, commissioned a “space study” by ZGA Architects and Planners of Boise. The $23.1 million estimate is based on the study, which projected that a new facility “be adequate for 50-70 years.”

he ninth annual Family of Woman Film Festival, with the theme “Women Thinking Globally and Acting Locally,” is now underway in Ketchum and Sun Valley, with events that started on Monday and run through Sunday, Feb. 28. The festival presents films and events to raise awareness of the difficulties women and girls face throughout the world to gain access to basic healthcare, education and human rights. Festival founder Peggy Goldwyn said this year’s festival is expected to have the largest attendance since its inception. “There has been such strong community support for the festival, from the very first year in 2008,” she said. “The community and friends have spread the word,” said festival co-director Stephanie Freid-Perenchio. “This year alone we are expecting more out-of-town attendees than ever. Friends are bringing friends into town. Sponsors and donors are hosting dinners to connect and learn how to get more involved with the speakers and filmmakers that are attending this year. “The nonprofits and business

NEWS BRIEF
ITD WARNS DRIVERS OF AVALANCHE DANGER
The Idaho Transportation Department advises motorists that “warming weather and approaching spring creates potential avalanche and rock fall conditions across the state” and reminds drivers to plan ahead and check the 511 traveler advisory system, via telephone or website, before heading out, especially to the mountains. ITD reported that a spring avalanche recently blocked a stretch of state Highway 75 in southcentral Idaho, and that crews are monitoring a second on U.S. Highway 93 in eastern Idaho due to the threat of slides. Another troublesome stretch of highway is state Highway 21 between Grandjean Junction and Banner Summit. “These conditions occur every year due to warming weather and spring rains that cause instability to the existing snowpack,” ITD reported in a press release. Bill Nicholson, ITD’s head avalanche forecaster, noted that while the amount of snow on the ground is significant, the more important indicator of avalanche danger in warm-weather conditions is the temperature of the snow at different depths. “Avalanches happen in the spring from heat, oftentimes on beautiful, clear days,” Nicholson said.

WHAT IS GENDER TODAY? Arts Center panel sparks discussion
BY BRADY N. DELGADILLO
T
he concept of gender has recently taken the spotlight as people question what it means to be a male or female. The Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ current project, “Role Play: Changing Ideas about Gender,” hopes to create conversation about gender in the 21st century through their gallery exhibitions, film showings and, most recently, a panel discussion. The panel discussion was held Jan. 26 at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey and featured Dr. Virginia Husting, Director of Gender Studies, Boise State University; Kelly Miller, executive director of the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence; and Fatima Tall, youth activist, Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence. One of the issues they discussed is the difference between gender and sex. Tall explained that “gender is what describes me and sex is what I am physically.” In other words, gender is a feeling while sex is a physical attribute. According to the panelists, considering gender as a feeling is a logical approach when you look back on history and societal norms and realize that we have attributed traits to each gender, such as compassionate and caring to women and strong and tough to men. Each society has its own way of categorizing gender through qualities that are not necessarily innate. Tall also said that gender roles and expectations tend to be reinforced whenever there is power involved in the situation. A typical example is in corporations where women experience the “glass ceiling effect” (an un-
seen but present barrier preventing women and minorities from making their way up the corporate hierarchy) and face a pay gap. When the time came for audience questions, one person pointed out how young men also experience difficulties with gender roles as they are pressured to be strong and carefree; these gender roles restrict young men from being compassionate and demonstrating traits of love due to the fear that they will not be accepted by society’s gender norms. Though many gender roles persist, the panelists saw hope for the future because we are choosing to question why these roles exist and question who created them for us. One of their solutions included educating oneself on the topic of gender neutrality and to not enforce gender roles by categorizing emotions or characteristics as male or female. In response to the question of how the conversation of gender is different today than a couple of decades ago, Dr. Husting said, “We are at an amazing time where we are asking these questions.” This article was written by Brady N.

SPYING IN SAN FRANCISCO BY JoEllen Collins

Above and below: The Spirit N Motion All Stars (SMAS) competitive cheer teams “Silver Stars” (above) and “Black Diamonds” (below) compete at the two-day Platinum Championships Varsity Athletics Competition in Salt Lake City, Utah, last weekend. The Silver Stars placed third in the “Youth Level 1” division. The Black Diamonds placed sixth in the “Junior Level 2” division.
his week I took my grandson to the International Spy Shop near Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. We had an excursion there last year when, after cotton candy and overpriced attractions on Pier 39, we made our way down the kitschy street adjoining the wharves to his eagerly awaited destination of the Spy store. I avoid most blatantly tourist spots in this city, a second home to me, as I feel I know so much about its charms and find sufficient pleasure in enjoying my friends and the other delights of this magical location. However, this store appeals to a six-year-old who is fascinated with the workings of the police, the Secret Service, firemen and other heroes, and who loves the extended stories I tell him before bed about imaginary rescues of innocent victims, aided by a young blond boy from San Francisco or by the “strongest man in the world.” These stories are a special part of my life and, I hope his, when I visit my family in San Francisco. Buying things with inflated prices at what Courtesy photo might be considered a tourist trap JoEllen Collins—a longtime is not my cup of tea, but seeing his resident of the Wood River smile is. So we walked into the store, Valley—is a teacher, writer, filled with glass-encased devices fabric artist, choir member that are serious adult “toys,” over and unabashedly proud to the one shelf with smaller items grandma known as “Bibi Jo.” meant for kids. We had decided on a budget, but, as I expected, a more expensive package contained four items and a belt to hold them, a better deal than only two of the pieces sold separately, so I succumbed, and we fitted him out in the belt and the attachment, which he proudly wore home and didn’t leave until bedtime. Now our stories include the use by “good” guys against the “bad” guys of the equipment he has. We are embarking toward new horizons! At first I felt a bit guilty violating our budget agreement, and if I were his parent I would insist on enforcement because I would fear “spoiling” him. Also, I hate the omnipresent temptations of so many material objects. One needs often to say no to the plea “But I NEED this!” However, as a visiting grandma, I pretended to rationalize this by combining the treat for Valentine’s Day and explaining that I am not here very often. I’m sure my grandson didn’t mind my minor transgression! One of the purchased devices increases sound reception from a “remote” distance if one is listening through a special pair of earphones, so we wryly noted that we all need to behave better, even if out of sight of our intrepid young spy. I added that his father will have to watch his language, the kind not allowed from his children. We were kidding, of course, but in my sneaky grandma way, I was reminding him that there are rules to the uses of many things, including snooping devices. Anyway, I don’t believe grandparents should interfere with discipline and other family dynamics. At least that is my excuse! tws

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR FebRuaRy 24 FRom picabo angleR
W
armer daytime temperatures are beginning to coincide with the approach of our single best month for catch rates on many of our area rivers. With March right around the corner, there is no better time to get out and fish! Enjoy some pre-springtime sunshine and easy fishing while it lasts. March is also the last month many of our rivers are open before the spring closures for spawning fish. Silver Creek is closed for its entire length at the end of February. That means you have until Monday to get on the Creek and fish Streamers. The last week of February is generally the best week for doing this, and with temps in the high 40s near Picabo, you could not ask for a better scenario. If you are a mouse fishing fanatic, the voles near Picabo are beginning to emerge in big numbers with the warmer weather as well. We have guides available and private water for you to fish with them at no extra cost. Give us a call if you would like to get out there. Picabo Angler is also open for breakfast and lunch daily. The Big Wood always rounds out the end of the season with explosive Midge hatches as well as the emergence of the Little Black Stonefly. The Little Stones are not much of a player on the surface, but they are an important food source for the fish and are found near the banks as they emerge. The best way to imitate the Stones is with a size 12 to 14 Prince Nymph. You can fish these under a strike indicator, but the best way is to find steep banks and swing the Prince Nymphs on a tight line presentation below you, allowing them to go all the way to the bank. Make sure you keep the line tight in your hand. The Lost River remains open year-round these days and warm days could mean great surface action. With that said, the fishing on the Lost has been hit and miss as of late. It’s a long drive to make for so-so fishing, but stay tuned to the report and we’ll let you know when the Lost is showing its true colors again. There are a few fish on redds over there, so if you go, please be mindful of where you step and avoid fishing to the vulnerable spawners. Happy fishing, everyone!

WHY DOES MY DOG HUMP?
BY FRAN JEWELL
T
here are many interpretations out there about why dogs hump each other. We are totally confused when we see males hump other males, or females hump males, or females hump females. We are even more confused when our dog humps his or her bed – or us!!! The fact is, as with all dog behavior, there are many reasons why dogs hump. So, it’s important to see it in context with the rest of the relationship a dog has with another dog. Previously, I always thought it was a dominance gesture. But then I witnessed a female in season humping her intended male. This clearly was not dominance; her intent was to gain interest from the male. Some dogs will use humping as a way to initiate play with a dog they have a good friendship with, as a friendship gesture. They tend to hump and run! Humping a pillow or other non-living thing can be either because it simply feels good, or from frustration. Right now, Kalidor is 17 months old and establishing himself as a mature male in my pack. I have two older males, Brinx and Baewulf. Brinx is clearly the highest-ranking dog (notice I didn’t call him an “alpha”) in my household. Baewulf is the peacemaker. Kalidor has many times tried to push Brinx around and test the waters to see if maybe he can take over from Brinx. Brinx has been clear that, no, that won’t happen. Brinx is very tolerant, but also very firm. Now, Kalidor has moved his focus onto Baewulf. Almost every day I see Kalidor humping Baewulf. Baewulf could care less. It is of no significance to him. I do see this particular humping gesture as Kalidor trying to pass Baewulf in social status in our pack. Why? Because all of Kalidor’s other behaviors and age would suggest that the timing is right, but also his previous challenges to Brinx indicate he is testing the waters. If Brinx was not in the group, I would have thought that the humping would suggest an expression of

friendship with Baewulf. So the question always becomes, what do you do if a dog humps you or another dog? When a dog humps another dog, I think the reaction of the “humpee” is important. If the humpee is bothered and the humper won’t stop, then I tend to intervene and stop the interaction. If the humpee has no issues, then I do not intervene. If the dog humps me, I never allow it. I don’t feel it is appropriate and many times indicates lack of respect or a challenge to my leadership, much like jumping on me.
In general, as with all dog behavior, there are many meanings to each behavior. The important thing is to look at all the behaviors and attitudes to help determine the meaning at that moment. It is then that the meaning should become clearer to you.

A WINTER TWIG BY LESLIE REGO
I
have plucked an interesting winter twig and am studying its characteristics. I do not know what plant the twig comes from, but I think it is particularly lovely. Without leaves, every twist and turn is revealed. The branches are so slim that they occupy little territory, but the beauty is in their details. On the twigs there are knobby segments the whole way up the branch. On the bigger branches, the nodules are far apart. On the smaller twigs, they are very close together, sometimes as close as an eighth of an inch. Each segment is a straight line but, placed together, they produce gentle curves. The little nodes between the linear divisions whirl around the stem, giving the twigs their twisted appearance. Each twig is capped with a pointed, arrow-like shape. Open air exists between each slender branch, creating a skeletal-like appearance. There is beauty in these sparse lines. The seemingly simple generates an understated elegance, which divulges itself upon close inspection. There is so much to be seen in an apparently dormant winter branch. Leslie Rego is an artist and Blaine County resident. See her current exhibit “Natural Elegance” at Lipton Fine Arts, located at 411 N. Leadville Ave. in Ketchum (next to the Coffee Grinder).

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HARDWARE KEVIN BROWDER LOVES CALLING HAILEY HOME Likes machines By Jeff Bacon
W
ith over 500 distributors worldwide, Rocky Mountain Hardware is definitely one of the Wood River Valley’s success stories. Built from a need created by the designer-home trend of the 1980s and ’90s, Rocky Mountain Hardware started as a side project of Pozzi Windows and Doors when owner Mark Nickum was asked if he could make hardware to complement the custom doors he sold. At the time, he had no idea that this would lead to what is now Rocky Mountain Hardware. And what is Rocky Mountain Hardware today? Currently employing 150 people, the company is one of the largest employers in the area. They have three production facilities in southern Idaho: a foundry in Blackfoot where they do mold making, sand casting and investment casting; a facility in Shoshone where they do grinding, machining and deburring; and their largest facility, on Airport Way in Hailey, which is where secondary machining, finishing, assembly and shipping take place. This location also serves as their main corporate headquarters, including all customer service, sales and accounting. Rocky Mountain owns two
showrooms, one in Jackson Hole and the other on Main Street in Ketchum. “We started in the business in Hailey,” says current president Christian Nickum. “It’s a pretty great thing to be able to live in the area where we grew up.” When you get to work on so many custom projects, how do you choose a favorite? “It’s easy to get excited about every project,” Nickum explains. “Some are fun, like the 20-foot-tall arrow that’s near the Bow Bridge in Hailey. Some are more challenging, like replicating historic hardware as we did for the Idaho State Capitol restoration project.” Recent advances in science and the testing of bronze alloys is opening new business opportunities – some that include the possibility of saving lives. “We’ve been working with copper-based alloys since the beginning, but now one of the manufacturers of our base metals has fully tested their alloys with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and found it to be bactericidal. With over 100,000 people dying in the U.S. each year from infections contracted while in the hospital, there is a real need to provide a cleaner-built environment in our healthcare facilities,” Nickum explains. “Cast-

ing door hardware, faucets and other common touch surfaces in this EPA-registered alloy is allowing us to make a difference in this deadly battle.” To see this new offering in action, check out the door handles designed to resemble skate blades at the new Campion Ice House in Hailey. “The best part about what we do is the number of opportunities that still lie in front of us,” Nickum notes. “We build the jewelry for custom-built projects. Architects and designers will always have new ideas and we’ll be here to help them see those ideas to reality.”

‘THE LADY IN THE VAN’ The odd couple
BY JONATHAN KANE
F
ans of the great Maggie Smith will be delighted by her newest screen performance and should rush out and see “The Lady In The Van.” The movie itself is reasonably entertaining, perhaps losing a little from its stage origins, but is carried entirely by her supreme performance. Those eyes have so much to tell and, in “The Lady In The Van,” they speak volumes. The story the movie spins is mostly true. In 1974 the English playwright Alan Bennett let a homeless woman, known to the neighborhood as Miss Shepherd, park her van for a few weeks in his driveway. She stayed for 15 years and Bennett used the material for a memoir and then a London stage production starring Smith in 1999. Now the director of that production, Nicholas Hytner, has brought the story to the screen with a screenplay by Bennett
and the movie’s location being Bennett’s actual North London home where the story took place. Smith could have gone in a myriad of directions with her portrayal but has made the right choice to stay close to the dignity of her subject without sacrificing the abundant humor in the situation. Miss Shepherd has a past, after all, and that is slowly revealed over the course of the film’s 100 minutes. For his part, Alex Jennings portrays Mr. Bennett admirably as not one but two men – the Courtesy photo man that lives his life in the out- Jonathan Kane is a graduate of the side world and the writer that University of Michigan. stays home synthesizing his life into art. Bennett also grapples with the decline of his own Jon rated this movie mother and his distance from her situation. Is his kindness toward Miss Shepherd some kind of compensation? This is one of the many questions that the film poses while creating a character study of a unique woman. tws

Twenty-one Community School Upper School students are the players in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which the directors have chosen to set in the swinging ’60s.
RELISH THE MAGIC OF THE ’60S
Community School tackles Midsummer BY YANNA LANTZ
B
e transported back to the swinging ’60s with Community School’s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Directed by Community School Upper School drama teachers Patsy Wygle and Keith Moore, the cast features 21 Upper School students. The production runs Feb. 25-27, with all shows commencing at 7 p.m. in the Community School Theatre. One of William Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, “Midsummer” is traditionally set in Athens, Greece. However, the team of directors chose to update the setting to more of a hippy, Woodstock vibe. “This updated setting works perfectly for ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’” explained Wygle. “The 1960s completely transformed our society, and this power of transformation, through magic, imagination or experience, lies at the heart of this play. This group of students has the talent and experience to bring this wonderful play to life.” This show marks Wygle’s and Moore’s 10th Community School production. The cast features students Samie Bunting, Pierson Carlsen, M Clayton, Amelia Cookston, Christine DuFur, Miriam Gilman, Blake Letourneau, Sofia Lodato, Evan Marks, Lucy More, Kendall Piggins, Rachel Roudabush, Landon Schley, Adele Stireman, Colby Wright, Keegan Whitelaw, Keegan Wickstrom,

Kristian Whittaker, Remy Vernoy, Kai Younger and Anik Zarkos. In addition, Upper School history teacher George Heinrichs will play the role of Theseus, Duke of Athens. “This play is a colorful medley of love, tragedy and laughs,” said Carlsen. Over the course of the comedy, magic is used to incite action, love affairs and transformations. “Magic is used to help these mortals fall in love, but it ultimately shows them what they already know: that they loved each other all along and just needed a little push,” said Whittaker. Shakespearean language can often be a tricky task to tackle, especially for high school students. “Initially, we worked a lot in iambic pentameter to help the kids understand the rhythm of the language,” Wygle said. “We thought the language would be much more difficult for them than it turned out to be; they picked it right up! I’ve worked with college kids who didn’t get it as quickly. We’re so impressed.” Many of the students involved in the production have gained a new appreciation for the Bard’s words. “I have definitely gained a new love for Shakespeare’s language,” smiled Stireman. “On the surface, the Shakespearean language can look hard to decipher and abstract,” Carlsen said. “But when you

This year we expect 75 to 80 contestants to participate in the novice and certified fiddling competitions. Your help is needed to effectively accomplish the numerous tasks of this fun-filled entertaining event.
We are seeking youth 15 or older and adults to assist with the following tasks: photography, contestant registration, ticket sales, stage operations, judges’ assistance, computer data entry, manual scorekeeping, electronic scorekeeping, audio-visual and lighting systems operation and contestant facilitation.

“On the surface, the Shakespearean language can look hard to decipher and abstract,” said actor and Upper School student Pierson Carlsen. “But when you really delve deep into it, truths about the human experience emerge that haven’t changed since the time he wrote this play.”
really delve deep into it, truths about the human experience emerge that haven’t changed since the time he wrote this play.” “One of the major morals of the play is that love overcomes everything,” added Heinrichs. “It’s funny, stupid and can be violent and awkward, but, at the end, everyone ends up with someone.” Tickets for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” are $5 for students and $10 for adults and will be available at the door the night of the show, or at the Upper School office during regular school hours. The Community School Theatre is located at 1 Community School Drive in Sun Valley. For more information call 208.622.3955. tws
SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNOUNCES CHATTERTON RETIREMENT
The Blaine County School District announced Monday the retirement, effective June 30, of longtime business manager Mike Chatterton. “The loss of Mike Chatterton is significant for this district and for our community,” district Superintendent Mike Chatterton GwenCarol Holmes stated in a press release. “His service has provided stability, institutional knowledge and fiscal prudency that has been incredibly valuable. He will be greatly missed.” Chatterton has served as business manager for 29 years. The district reported that Chatterton will provide consultant services to the district on an as-needed basis “for the next year in order to ensure the new business manager has the institutional knowledge and transition support needed.”
STRONG WINDS COULD INCREASE AVALANCHE DANGER The Blaine County Sheriff’s Office reports on Facebook that avalanche danger in the Sawtooth Mountains could increase to “considerable” because of recent snow and high winds in the area. “Snowfall and strong to extreme winds are building dense slabs in exposed areas,” the sheriff’s office reported on Feb. 18. “Strong to extreme winds will build slabs in typical locations—beneath ridges and in cross-loaded gullies—and in atypical locations— lower on the slopes, near prominent terrain features, on aprons in cirques. “Expect slabs to grow and become more sensitive during the day. Natural avalanches are possible and human-triggered slides are likely on steep, wind-loaded slopes.” The Sawtooth Avalanche Center early this week reported the avalanche danger as “moderate” in the Sawtooth Mountains but cautioned of the possibility of triggering avalanches on “soft and hard” wind-caused slabs on steep, exposed upper and middle elevation slopes. The avalanche danger at low elevations was listed as “low.”

DIRTY-HANDED GRADS

BY ALI LONG
cross America, more and more young people want to farm – even those not from farming communities. Most are graduates of one of the 68 agricultural colleges and universities in the United States alone. More still attended one of the growing number of liberal arts schools that now offer agricultural curriculum. What’s so cool about the often low-paying, dirty, hard labor of farming? Many say it’s the independence and the connection to the basics of soil and food; others have a concern for the environment. Or they simply enjoy the work and agrarian lifestyle, satisfied by the value of practical work. Their desire for social and cultural impact returns them to the simple nature of food. But to make a living in a food economy dominated by big corporations, new farmers must engage in the business side of it: money – managing and borrowing – and finding customers. According to the online farming publication The Salt, Jim Crawford of New Morning Farm in Pennsylvania has guided more than 200 apprentices, and says, “That sense of farming as a business is probably the biggest thing the young farmers have to learn.” Community School graduate Sara Berman, a Bellevue resi-
dent in her twenties, is one who likes getting her hands dirty. Sara and her fiancé Ed Zinager purchased land with the dream of growing their own organic food, and eventually offering it to the community. Until her passion for farming can cover their expenses, Sara makes a living as a Spanish teacher and greenhouse manager at The Sage School. Charters of College of Southern Idaho, Boise State University and University of Idaho all include agricultural curriculum. To buck Idaho’s rank as lowest in education, our graduates need only perfect the dirty-handed business of small-scale farming. Ali Long is the executive director of The Local Food Alliance, a nonprofit that aspires to create a healthy local food system and establish food security in the Wood River Valley.

Often referred to as “the funniest farce ever written,” “Noises Off” presents a manic menagerie as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called “Nothing’s On.” Doors slamming, onstage and offstage intrigue and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play. The cast stars Alma Ceja, Kate Connelly, Dyllan Ulrich, Erica Lynn, Hadley Cabitto, Michael Todd, Jose Aguayo, Juliette Rollins and Blanca Montes. Shannon Robertson is the stage manager for the production, assisted by JoJo Lee, Maddie Biggers, Savana Swan, Angie De la Cruz, Sophia Kinney, Ester Chavolla, Penny Hope, Logan Scarbrough , Jessi Gonzalez, Olivia Stimac, Hailey Boyd, Kagen Albright, Alex Brooks, Isreal Ceja, Armondo Ceja, Aiyana Brown, Annabelle Lewis and William Pullin. “Noises Off” runs Wednesday through Saturday.

Note: There will be a special audience invited dress rehearsal on Tuesday, Feb. 23 at 6 p.m., where donations to the department will be graciously accepted.

EVENTS CALENDAR SAWTOOTH VALLEY FIRE MEETING THURSDAY FEBRUARY 25
2PM / STANLEY COMMUNITY CENTER
The Sawtooth Valley Wildland Fire Collaborative (SVWFC) was formed after the Halstead Fire burned 179,000 acres in 2012 in the Salmon-Challis National Forest, and is a broad-based group of stakeholders, including: federal, city and county government, private land owners, businesses and local concerned citizens, co-chaired by Steve Botti, president of the Stanley City Council, and Gary O’Malley, executive director of the Sawtooth Society. This SVWFC meeting will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25, at the Stanley Community Center, and is open to the public. The goal of the Collaborative is to identify and recommend to the Forest Service the location, type and scale of fuel treatments and other wildfire risk reduction strategies for the Stanley area. There is a belief that without large-scale hazard fuel modification there is a high probability of another Halstead-scale wildfire along the northeast and east side of the Sawtooth Mountains and along the west and north sides of the White Cloud Mountains. The meeting will continue the process of defining specific wildfire hazard mitigation projects that can be implemented in the near future, including those in the four primary areas of emphasis: enhanced point protection of structures and infrastructure; prescribed burns sufficiently large enough to break up the landscape to increase the chance of suppression and control of wildfires; consideration of natural ignitions to help establish and/or enhance fuel modification; and administrative and educational actions to strengthen knowledge of Firewise and lessen campfire risk. For more details and information, contact Steve Botti at sjbotti@gmail.com or Gary O’Malley at gary@sawtoothsociety.org.
NIGHT SKI RACING UNDER THE LIGHTS FRIDAY FEBRUARY 26
7PM / ROTARUN SKI AREA / HAILEY
Nighttime racing is at Rotarun Ski Area in Hailey for the month of February. This race series is open to all ages, abilities and equipment. Come out and race as an individual, a family or get your friends together and make it a team race. The race format is a “dual” course, letting two racers compete head-to-head. Then head back up the mountain, switch courses and race again. The combined fastest time wins! Rotarun also tracks times to determine overall winners for each night. The course is described as a modified slalom, meaning that it is not as fast as a real giant slalom and you don’t need special slalom race gear. The racing series runs every Friday night through Feb. 26. The final Friday Night Lights event is the Sun Valley Trekking - Ski Industry & Telemark Rendezvous. The price is especially affordable this year with just a $5 entry fee per participant for both adults and children. If you do not have a season pass, you will also need to purchase a lift ticket, which is $10 for children and $20 for adults. On-site signup is 5:30-6:30 p.m., with races starting at 7 p.m. For more race information, go to rotarunskiarea.org or contact 208.720.1975. Located at 25 Rodeo Drive, Rotarun is just 3 miles west of Hailey via Croy Creek Road.
