Blaze starts in vehicle engine compartment during morning rush hour BY TERRY SMITH

1992 Ford Explorer was heavily damaged by fire during early rush hour Monday morning on state Highway 75 north of Hailey. Wood River Fire and Rescue Fire Chief Bart Lassman said Tuesday that the fire started at about 7:30 a.m. just north of Zinc Spur Road. “We arrived on the scene to find a fully involved 1992 Ford Explorer on the west side of Highway 75,” Lassman said. “The owner of the vehicle reported seeing smoke come from the dash, so he pulled over and pulled up the hood.” Lassman said the engine compartment was initially just smoking but erupted into flames shortly after the vehicle was stopped. “When we arrived, it was really going,” he said. “The passenger compartment was fully involved. “We extinguished the fire pret-

STUDENTS FIND WAY TO EXPLORE MounT EVEREST

Eighth-grade Language Arts students at Wood River Middle School would have loved to travel to Nepal, but they found a way to explore the country’s topography anyway by building a scale model of Mount Everest. According to a press release, “with a little creativity, cooperation, patience, help and hard work, these eighth-graders brought the oxygen-starved, limestone-capped summit to more manageable heights” and learned about “the many forms that success can take.” Interest in Mount Everest was sparked by two books the students read and discussed: “Peak,” by Roland Smith, and “Into Thin Air,” by Jon Krakauer. After finishing the books, the students decided to build the recently finished model as a future school resource. The model involved a study of the topography of the mountain. They used foam board in layers to create the contours and finished out the mountain with plaster and papier mâché. Paint was applied and flags were placed to identify the location of different camps.

Blaine County Emergency Communications announced on March 1 that it has implemented a new service, “Text to 9-1-1,” to help people with emergency calls when voice communication is not practical. Emergency Communications explained in a press release that the new service will benefit the speech and hearing impaired, situations where a voice cannot be used because of the existence of a threat, people involved in an accident involving speech damage, and people in remote areas where only text service is available. The program was set up in conjunction with services from the Southern Idaho Regional Communications Center and the Twin Falls Communications Center. In addition to Blaine County, Text to 9-1-1 is available in Gooding, Jerome, Lincoln and Twin Falls counties. To use the service, enter 9-1-1 in the ‘To:’ prompt on a cell phone, leave a brief message describing location and type of assistance needed, push the send button, and be prepared for follow-up questions or instructions. Emergency Communications advised that a voice call remains the preferred method of communication, but the new text service will broaden the ability to respond to emergency situations Let’s talk

That program was created for the children of Camp Rainbow Gold here in Idaho through his dental practice. Fittingly, the first time we got together to discuss the details in mid-February, it was ‘all smiles’ for going forward.” Galbraith said all veterans participating in the Higher Ground camps are eligible for free dental work and can receive it “simply by coordinating with Kate Weihe and walking into my office.” “All the veterans I’ve seen come through the Higher Ground program have both made extreme sacrifices to protect our American freedoms as well as left Higher Ground feeling renewed and invigorated and with a smile on their faces,” Galbraith said. “That’s what dentistry is all about, so I felt I wanted to serve these great men and women in return. It’s been a perfect fit.” tws

Defendants face numerous charges from 2014 confrontation

A sassy person is one full of spirit, lively, bold, and fun. Do you wonder what happened to that young woman of long ago? Have you ever been able to develop yourself enough to thrive? It’s your turn now.

BY TERRY SMITH

wo Hailey men were indicted on numerous federal charges by a grand jury in Nevada on March 3 for their alleged participation in an armed standoff with federal officers in Nevada in 2014. Eric J. Parker, 32, and Steven A. Stewart, 36, were arrested on March 3 and remained incarcerated Tuesday in Boise awaiting arraignment in federal court today. Parker and Stewart are members of the Constitutional rights’ organization 3% of Idaho, which has chapters throughout the state including Blaine County. They are among 19 people that have been indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with a confrontation near Bunkerville, Nev., on April 12, 2014 with federal officers in a dispute over 400 head of cattle owned by Cliven D. Bundy, 69. Bundy was indicted on numerous federal charges in February. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nevada alleges that the defendants “planned, organized and led” an “armed assault against federal officers” in “order to thwart the seizure and removal of Cliven Bundy’s cattle from federal public lands.” Federal officials backed away from the confrontation when several hundred Bundy supporters showed up to protest seizure of the cattle. The Nevada U.S. Attorney’s Office claims that Bundy had “trespassed on the public lands for over 20 years, refusing to obtain the legally-required permits or to pay the required fees to keep and graze his cattle on the land.” The Nevada U.S. Attorney’s Office further reported that the 19 defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, using and carrying a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, assault on a federal officer, threatening a federal law enforcement officer, obstruction of due administration of justice, interference with interstate com-

New owner, same great coffee BY JEFF BACON

antos Serva has quickly become one of Hailey’s Main Street ambassadors. Having moved to the area seven years ago, Santos worked for Hailey Coffee Company for several years in all aspects of the company’s operations. “Hailey Coffee’s founder, Carrie Morgridge, gave me the chance to work with her as a barista, coffee roaster and in the bakery,” Santos noted during a recent interview. “She’s always been great about giving her employees the opportunities to learn and grow within the company. I owe her a great deal.” Newly cast in his role as owner of Hailey Coffee Company, Santos sees his business following much of its current path. “I can see us expanding the production of the Paleo diet offerings we’ve had for many years now,” said Santos. “We’re looking to add some new items, like a Paleo coffeecake, in the next few weeks.” Opening when it’s still dark, Hailey Coffee Company stays open until 5 p.m. on weekdays and 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Another new menu offering that will be highlighted in the coming weeks is Santos’ Salad in a Jar. “Our Salad in a Jar is just as it sounds – you purchase a salad packed in a jar and the dressing is separate,” notes Santos. “When you’re ready to eat, you can either add the salad dressing to the jar and mix it up or pour everything out on a plate. They’re easy and delicious.” When asked about his biggest daily challenges, Santos said that he likes being busy. “There’s always something to do in a coffee shop,” said Santos. “If I’m not helping customers, I like working in the bakery. We make all of our pastries and Paleo offers right here in house.” Santos says he moved to the area because it’s a

safe and beautiful valley. “You can do everything here,” notes Santos. “My son loves to ski and the family is always out either biking, fishing or hiking. We love being able to be outside and enjoy our valley and everything it has to offer.” Anything else happening at Hailey Coffee Company in the near future? “I can tell you what’s not happening,” Santos quipped. “The big tree in our parking lot is staying put. We had quite a few people tell us how much they love our big tree. I’d hate to see anything happen to it.” Santos noted that down the road he would like to see some couches and comfortable seating in a few places throughout the shop. “For right now, we’ll keep doing what we’re doing,” he notes. “We have great customers and they’ve been very supportive of everything Hailey Coffee Company has done. We’re just very happy to keep being the place to go for a great cup of coffee in Hailey.” Jeff Bacon is the Hailey Chamber of Commerce’s membership director.

column movie review

‘EDDIE THE EAGLE’ Fly like an eagle

BY JONATHAN KANE

he new sports biopic “Eddie The Eagle” doesn’t exactly soar, but it also doesn’t disappoint as a feelgood, against-all-odds, uplifting sports-genre movie. Yes, you have probably seen it before, but the story of Eddie Edwards, known affectionately as Eddie “The Eagle,” stands out for its sheer incredulity. At the 1988 Calgary Olympics, along with the Jamaican bobsled team, Eddie made Olympic history while finishing last in his two events. After picking up one of the most dangerous sports in the world – ski jumping – only a year before, Eddie competed for England as their first male ski jumper in 60 years and won the hearts of the world. The movie tells Eddie’s improbable story of conviction, from his earliest age to his

Olympic run, taking license in many ways – like creating an alcoholic coach who has his own story of redemption to spice things up. Played by Hugh Jackman as a former U.S. great and bad boy now working as a groomer in Germany, the character is irresistible. Jackman signs on reluctantly to Eddie’s quest and finds salvation in Eddie’s journey. Eddie, played by Taron Egerton – full of Eddie’s tics and social insecurities – does an admirable job following his turn in “Kingsman: The Secret Service.” Eddie can’t be stopped and his grim determination is the heart of the movie. First it’s his father that thinks his dream is ridiculous and wants him to be a plasterer, then it’s the snooty English officials and, finally, the mocking Norway Olympians. Eddie takes it all in stride. In the end, his worldwide celebri-

JOEL PARKE

Enjoys ranch life and sports BY JONATHAN KANE

oel Parke, a senior at Carey High School, loves sports, specifically basketball and football, and is currently president of the Carey Athletic Association. He also enjoys working with his father and brothers on the family ranch. “I’ve been working on the ranch for as long as I can remember,” Parke said. “The ranch is 600 acres – 400 of that farmable. I’ve been getting paid since I was 12. “My earliest memory was being 8 years old and riding with my dad in the tractor while he was baling alfalfa. Sometimes I would sleep in the tractor while he was working. I just went everywhere with him. “Right now we are building corrals. In the summer we cut the alfalfa and rake it and bale it. It’s long work but I really enjoy it. “Some day I’d like to get a ranch of my own or take over this one,” Parke said. “I also love being outdoors and seeing my family and knowing I’m getting a lot of work done. It’s also great that it’s always different. It’s not the same thing every day.” Parke was born in Sun Valley, but has grown up in Carey and lived there his whole life. He estimates the town’s population to be around 600. “It’s a really small town,” he said. “I like it a lot but sometimes there isn’t a lot to do. Everyone’s really close and it’s not too crazy. Sometimes we go to Sun Valley and it’s great to visit, but I’d rather live in Carey. “All my family is here, and here it’s more open. We pretty much all do farming and it’s a great way

of life.” Parke is one of 19 seniors at Carey High School, where he is a serious student and currently has a 4.0 grade point average. He is also a member of National Honor Society. “I really enjoy it because we all know each other so well and everyone loves sports and the teachers are great,” he said. A love of sports is prominent in his life and he excels in basketball and football. “It’s pretty much a tie between the two as to which I like more,” Parke said. “Right now we are preparing for the state tournament in basketball.” At 6-foot-4, Parke plays center and post. “It’s been really fun this year, probably because we won quite a lot,” he said. “Last year we won the state championship. This year we really started to jell and play well at the end of the year. For me, I’ve averaged 15 points and it’s been my best season after starting varsity all four years of high school. “All my friends play and we have really good team chemistry. It’s fun to compete and play in big games.” Parke has played organized football since seventh grade and now plays tight end on offense and linebacker on defense. “Offense is more fun but I really like making big hits on defense,” he said. tws

“Cancer has the potential to take our power away if we let it,” said Suzanne Mulenos, member of the Expedition Inspiration board of directors. “Knowledge is power. Through science, through research, we are beginning to see this disease come to its knees.”

BREAST CANCER OPEN FORUM

he Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research hosts the 19th Laura Evans Memorial Breast Cancer Symposium March 9-12 in Sun Valley. An internationally renowned meeting, the Symposium brings in breast cancer research scientists from around the world to collaborate and share new findings. In addition to the scientific Symposium, Expedition Inspiration will also hold a free Open Forum for the community Thursday, March 10, in the Continental Room of the Sun Valley Inn from 6-8 p.m. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the most eminent researchers, not just in the nation but in the world, and to speak to them directly about their work to find cures, more compassionate treatments and more targeted approaches to solving this epidemic,” said Suzanne Mulenos, member of the Expedition Inspiration board of directors. “When you are talking about one in eight women getting breast cancer in their lifetime, it is an epidemic.” “The Open Forum is the public’s chance to hear directly from this esteemed group about the latest in breast cancer therapies and have an opportunity to have their own questions and concerns answered,” added Hailey Malepei, executive director of Expedition Inspiration.

Dr. Marc Lippman, from the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, will moderate this special evening event. “We are incredibly lucky to have one the best breast cancer researchers as our scientific adviser, Dr. Marc Lippman from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine,” Malepei said. “Dr. Lippman selects the topic of both the Symposium and Open Forum based on current and novel research trends. He moderates the evening and brings a very high level of professionalism and credence to the event.” “Marc is brilliant, driven and has a raucous sense of humor,” Mulenos chuckled. “To find that in a Mensa-sized brain scientist is such a gift to our organization.” Featured speakers for the evening include influential members of the breast cancer research community such as Dr. Theresa Guise from Indiana University, Dr. Firdaus Dhabar from Stanford School of Medicine and Dr. Thea Tlsty from University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine. “Cancer has the potential to take our power away if we let it,” Mulenos said. “Knowledge is power. Through science, through research, we are beginning to see this disease come to its knees. It’s not flattened yet, but we have many more tools in our arsenal. We need science to

n Saturday, Feb. 13, The Advocates’ Every Teen has a Choice (ETC) teen interns held an art gallery open house at Silvercreek Art in Ketchum. February is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and in an attempt to raise awareness on this important topic we had artwork and music (made by high school students from across the community), all of which reflected the theme “Love Shouldn’t Hurt,” and a photo booth where people could write what they thought love was. Our event required an extensive amount of planning and preparation. During our meetings we would discuss what we wanted our theme to be, where we wanted to hold the gallery, how many pieces of art we wanted, how we would recruit student artists and musicians, how we would advertise the event, and what props we needed (mostly for the music and photo booth). After two months of preparation, we were finally ready. There was a double booking at the original location we had lined up for the event, so we want to give a big thank you to Levie Smith and Silvercreek Art for opening their awesome location to us and letting us take over for a day. Our event was very successful both in the eyes of our guests and the ETCs. One of our guests, Owen Gifford, said this about the event: “The artwork inspired me to really reflect on how people, including myself, view love and how many people’s conceptions of love are negative.” Of the many people that I had the opportunity to talk to, most had similar things to say. Our goal was to raise awareness about teen dating violence and we believe we did just that. The ETCs are all confident that people left the gallery pondering how society portrays and views love and how love really should

be viewed: as respectful, caring, comfortable, non-damaging, etc. We also had a much larger turnout than anticipated and, thus, a larger impact. Personally, I am thrilled with how well the art gallery went and I’m happy to see that all of our hard work resulted in such a positive effect. Like others, I was also surprised most of the artwork was negative. I found it very interesting that the majority of the artwork reflected the hurt that comes from “love” rather than the positive aspects of love. I am a little worried that our message was a bit more depressing than we wanted it to be. However, this also highlights the importance of the work we do – educating our peers about healthy relationships. All in all, our event was a success, leaving more people in our society believing that love shouldn’t hurt.

GROWING GOOD EATERS

BY ALI LONG

ids these days are the same as they ever were – they love junk food! How can parents and educators help children understand the importance of food choices? Traditional nutrition education has yet to succeed in getting kids to eat – much less enjoy – their vegetables. So how to win them over? St. Thomas Playhouse’s latest production, “A Birthday Feast,” has an encouraging approach: affable characters who sing about the joys of growing, tasting and sharing food as they visit a farmers’ market, harvest from their neighbors’ garden, and get creative in the kitchen. The musical was inspired by Local Food Alliance and will be performed at 14 local elementary schools during February and March. Nutrition is a science – a subject that frequently eludes many of us. And health consequences – even epidemic levels of diabetes and obesity – aren’t motivators for children who don’t yet understand the value of building and maintaining physical health. But kids do want to feel safe, connected, and have a sense of belonging. Learning to grow, harvest, and prepare food is profoundly empowering. It provides a foundation of confidence, an inherent sense of safety and survival skills, and creates a critical connection to nature – that place-based identity from

which strong, healthy kids emerge. Be it an apartment window box, a deck container garden, a backyard garden or a full-on farm, any exposure to the creation of one’s own sustenance goes a long way toward self-esteem and healthy eating. Serve children vegetables from the supermarket and they’re rarely interested; have them pick from a garden and it might just pop straight into their mouths! So instead of proteins, fats and carbs, let’s talk gardens, farmers, and the sense of community that comes from fresh food. Kids may still love their junk food, but they’ll intuitively develop a taste and appreciation for whole, unprocessed foods when a fundamental connection is established early on by family, friends, school and the community at large. Ali Long is the executive director of The Local Food Alliance, a nonprofit whose mission is to create a vibrant local food system in the Wood River Valley.

news Brief

FUNDRAISER SET TO HELP HEATHER COLVIN A fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, March 11, to help with medical costs for Heather Colvin, a Blaine County resident who suffers from Charcot-Marie-Tooth disorder, a form of muscular dystrophy commonly known as CMT. Colvin, who is involved in Blaine County School District parent activities, is an executive assistant at the Keller Williams Sun Heather Colvin Valley Southern Idaho real estate agency. She has suffered from CMT for many years and had surgery to repair damage to her feet in October of 2015. However, she has recently learned that the surgery was unsuccessful and she must now have both feet extensively operated on once again. CMT causes damage to peripheral nerves, which carry signals from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and relay sensations to the brain and spinal cord from the rest of the body. Colin explained that she first noticed the symptoms of CMT when she was in her 30s and, over the years the symptoms have gradually worsened. “As my feet changed, I had to limit more and more activities from my daily life,” Colvin said. “My arches became so high, my foot drop so pronounced and my hammertoes so bad that I had to use a brace and custom orthotics to walk. And even with them, I still had to walk on the tips of my toes. By the end of each day, my feet were in so much pain I could hardly bear to walk at all. The calluses and sores that I developed worsened until they finally became unbearable last year.” The fundraiser is scheduled for 8 p.m. at Restaurant 103 in Hailey. A $10 entry fee will be charged at the door. A band, Craig Bernauer and Double Wide, will play and a 50-50 raffle will be held, with the winner taking 50 percent and the remainder going to the Colvin fund. All funds raised will be matched by the Keller Williams corporate office. Direct donations can be made at DL Evans Bank in the name of Heather Colvin.

‘Meet the Patels’ thursday march 10

7PM / Magic Lantern Cinemas / Ketchum The Sun Valley Center for the Arts screens “Meet the Patels,” a documentary that is a laugh-out-loud, real-life romantic comedy. The film follows Indian-American TV and film actor and writer Ravi Patel as he – and his family – search for love. Witty and brutally honest, this comedy explores the questions with which we all struggle: What is love? How do we find it? And even then, how do we keep it? “Meet the Patels” also uses humor to address a timely social issue: In early 2009, directors (sister and brother team, Geeta and Ravi Patel) began to explore and document the societal pressures of marriage in their first-generation Indian-American family. Through research in India and America, they discovered that their “Indian issue” was more of an “American issue.” Specifically, the majority of Americans with strong cultural and religious roots shared a serious psychological conflict when it came to dating (and marrying) outside of their skin color, culture, religion and ethnicity. “This film is a fascinating insight into something many people are curious about but don’t understand – arranged marriages – and especially how they work today,” said Kristine Bretall. “It also makes you think about how difficult cultural change can be for different generations. As second-generation Americans, Ravi and Geeta are typical in their thoughts about love and marriage – but bump up against what their parents want and how their parents think they should find their partners.” Tickets for “Meet the Patels” are $10 for Center members and $12 for nonmembers. To purchase tickets, visit sunvalleycenter.org or call 208.726.9491.

5:30-7PM / Community Campus Auditorium / Hailey

Thanks to the support of the Wood River Women’s Foundation and the Little Black Dress Club, Girls on the Run of the Wood River Valley is proud to offer a free screening of “Shifting Ice + Changing Tides.” This documentary features Wood River native McKenna Peterson and a female-led expedition to the west coast of Greenland. In this remote, fascinating and beautiful region, they explore and ski first descents while limiting their environmental footprint by sailing and climbing. The expedition serves as a platform for raising awareness about climate change and environmental issues, as well as for inspiring and promoting female participation in snow sports adventures. Following the screening will be an opportunity for kids to learn about Girls on the Run and how the program inspires girls to do what they are born to do.

THREE RESCUED IN REMOTE AREA OF KIMAMA DESERT

Blaine County Search and Rescue, with the assistance of several local law enforcement agencies, the Idaho Army Air Guard and a private pilot on Monday located and rescued three people who were stranded for nearly two days in a remote area of the Kimama Desert near Craters of the Moon National Monument. The Blaine County Sheriff’s Office reported in a press release that the three became stranded when two vehicles became mired in deep snow and mud on an unmaintained road in extreme southeast Blaine County about 23 miles south of Arco on Saturday, March 5. The people were identified as Steve L. Boles, 46, Opal A. Jepson, 27, and William E. Young, 57, all of American Falls. The sheriff’s office reported that Boles and Jepson first became stuck in a 2003 Ford truck and Young, in a 1994 Chevrolet pickup, “became stuck as well” when he came to rescue them. The search for the missing people started on Sunday at about 4:40 p.m. after Blaine County Emergency Communications was notified of the stranded motorists. Searching on ATVs, deputies were unable to locate the victims on Sunday because of darkness and the size of the area being searched. The three were located at about 1 p.m. on Monday by a private pilot and rescued at about 2:30 p.m. by an Idaho Air Guard helicopter. “These people were incredibly fortunate,” said Blaine County Chief Deputy Steve Harkins. “It all could have gone so different. We were fortunate to have favorable weather, but we knew there was a storm on the way Tuesday.”
