Simmons, Jason and Julie Clark were air-flighted directly from the crash site to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. Jones was transported by ambulance to St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center in Ketchum and was later air-flighted to St. Alphonsus.

Hayes, Jones, Jason and Julie Clark were wearing helmets, but Simmons was not. The Bensons were wearing seatbelts.

Idaho State Police was assisted by Blaine County Sheriff’s Office, Custer County Sheriff’s Office, Idaho Department of Transportation and Ketchum Fire Department. tws

n Sunday, July 23, at approximately 2:30 p.m., a multi-vehicle crash occurred on State Highway 75 near milepost 157.5, at Galena Summit, in Blaine County. The north and southbound lanes were completely blocked for approximately two hours and partially blocked with alternating lanes for three hours.

According to the Idaho State Police, a group of motorcyclists was riding northbound on Highway 75. They included Kimberly R. Hayes, 26, of Boise, on a 2009 Honda Shadow; Michael A. Jones, 57, of Nampa, and his passenger, Dana A. Simmons, 54, of Meridian, on a 2014 Harley-Davidson; and Jason Clark, 46, and his passenger, Julie S.K. Clark, 45, both of Meridian, on a 1999 Harley-Davidson.

Jevon L. Benson, 41, and Chantelle L. Benson, 35, both of Twin Falls, were driving southbound on SH75 in a 2001 Ford F-250 pickup truck, pulling a 1988 Fleetwood Taurus travel trailer with their family.

Hayes failed to negotiate a curve and traveled left of center, sideswiping the Bensons’ trailer.

Jones then struck Hayes and the motorcycles went down. As Clark was attempting to avoid Hayes and Jones, he lost control and his motorcycle also went down. Hayes died at the scene. Next of kin were notified.

QUIGLEY FARM IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO ANNEXATION

BY DANA DUGAN

W

hile the Hailey City Council conditionally approved the annexation of Quigley Farm into the City of Hailey at the first reading Monday night, there are still unanswered issues.

Located east of Hailey in Quigley Canyon, Quigley Farm and Conservation Community, LLC—Dave Hennessy, Harry Weekes and Duncan Morton—owns 1,512 acres in Blaine County. The company wants to annex 230.8 acres, adjacent and contingent to the City of Hailey.

The subdivision would include 176 lots, as well as several elements to make it a sustainable neighborhood, including parks and athletic trails and fields, The Sage School, farmland, philanthropic, educational or charitable nonprofit offices, a community center and a convenience store without fueling-station capabilities.

Built over three stages, Quigley will also be zoned as a “Peri-Urban” overlay district defined as available for local food systems, orchards, facilities to raise small livestock, a retreat and greenhouse space.

The commercial area would “not be detrimental to the downtown business district,” Ned Wil-

liamson, Hailey city attorney, said. “They feel strongly they don’t want to affect downtown.”

Additionally, there would be a conservation easement along Quigley Road of 1,161 acres that is not yet finalized. The specifics of this aspect are still being worked out with the Wood River Land Trust. At issue is a proposal by the applicants to build more homes on 24 five-acre lots carved out of the easement along Quigley Road.

“We can’t continue on annexation until the conservation agreement is finished,” said Hailey Mayor Fritz Haemmerle.

The 2012 Hailey Comprehensive Plan identified Quigley Canyon as a neighborhood service center with “Traditional Residential,” meaning it is within walking distance of commercial-use areas.

A second reading will be held during the Hailey City Council meeting on Monday, July 31, at which time Quigley Farm’s attorney, Jim Laski, says the conservation easement agreement should be finalized.

Quigley Road will continue to be open to the public on a yearround basis, and current water rights will continue to be used for the farmland and for snowmaking for cross-country ski trails.

PRICING

n Sunday afternoon, under a cloudless sky, a fire broke out near the Martin Canyon gun range, east of the City of Bellevue.

All local fire departments responded to the emergency. The Bureau of Land Management is now handling the fire which, by Tuesday, was estimated at about 3,870 acres. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the BLM and Blaine County Sheriff’s Office.

“It was definitely mancaused,” said Bart Lassman, Wood River Fire & Rescue chief.

“There were some vehicles out there when it started, and those people came in to Bellevue and reported it right away.”

“We found evidence of target shooting at the origin of fire,” said Kelsey Brizendine, BLM Fire Information and Prevention officer. “It’s really important that people understand that something as simple as target shooting in tall grass can start a fire. This time of year there’s such a risk of this kind of thing.”

On Monday, there was a “thunderstorm blowing at 25 miles per hour with wind gusts of 50 miles per hour,” Brizendine said. “The fire moved pretty quickly. It went farther north and east. They did a back burn down toward Muldoon Canyon Road. There are no active flames on that side. Once the winds died down and we were able to get people down in there, they got a handle on it pretty quickly.

“It looks a lot better, after the precipitation” Tuesday morning, Brizendine said.

“They’re getting the upper hand, but some areas are in heavier timber.”

Brizendine estimated the fire to be 25 percent contained, as of Tuesday afternoon. The red flag warning of the past several days has been lifted.

There are 150 BLM firefighters working the Martin Canyon Fire. In use are four Twin Falls District BLM engines, two

IDAHO POWER HAS DESIGNS ON NEW LINE

S

BY DANA DUGAN

ince 1973, Idaho Power Company has argued for a second redundant transmission line connecting the Hailey and Ketchum substations.

Does the county need a new line? The Idaho Chapter Sierra Club, Ketchum Energy Advisory Committee (KEAC) and other community partners argue that Idaho Power has pushed the new line without fairly evaluating the full spectrum of modern costeffective alternatives to increase resiliency.

On Wednesday, July 26 at 7 p.m., the Idaho Public Utilities Commission will hold a public hearing at Ketchum City Hall to hear from residents about Idaho Power's proposal. The hearing is the result of Idaho Power filing an appeal after being denied by Blaine County in May 2017.

While Idaho Power looks to the future and the need to maintain standards, residents are not as sanguine. The project is estimated to cost $30 million to accomplish, a price that will be passed on to ratepayers.

It involves both overland and underground sections as well as new steel and wood poles along the route.

Full redundancy comes at a high cost because it requires Idaho Power to fully duplicate the existing transmission line.

The benefits are only realized when the existing line is out of service. According to IPUC, since 1995 the Ketchum-toHailey line has been out a total of five times, with durations between 5 and 126 minutes, not including the lengthy outage on Dec. 24, 2009.

On May 5, at the previous hearing, Mike Morrison, a staff engineer for IPUC, said, “some residents want the company (Idaho Power) to consider local generation, electrical storage, and microgrids in lieu of a redundant transmission line.”

Opponents say the existing line has operated reliably 99.999 percent of the time, according to the Idaho Sierra Club, which is monitoring the issue and will be present at a public hearing.

In May, IPUC staff filed testimony saying that Idaho Power’s proposal represents “a very expensive means to achieve a relatively small reliability improvement.”

But Jess Maffuccio, Idaho Power’s facility siting coordinator, argues that the plan has been in the works for more than a decade.

“It’s a well-thought-out, lengthy process,” Maffuccio said. “A community committee in 2007 developed the Wood River Electrical Plan, which indicated several projects, including rebuilding existing lines, from Magic Reservoir

to the Wood River Valley,” he said. “Some of that is being done right now, north from Highway 20 over the hills to the transfer station north of Hailey. It’s to upgrade reliability.”

Maffuccio added that there has been extensive public testimony and that Idaho Power “tends to operate conservatively because of regulations.”

“There are potential dangers from avalanches and fires,” he said. “Over the winter, it took an entire day to get a snowcat up into the mountains just to check some lines.

“The Blaine County Commissioners are really the ones to decide if we do need to do it or not,” Maffuccio added.

Idaho Power needs first to receive a certificate of convenience—a regulatory compliance certification for public service industries—in order to move forward with the plan.

Ultimately, the project would take nearly three years.

“There’s a solution that is clearly more cost effective, and that is to create a shoo-fly line up the valley floor, that would provide power while the existing line is rebuilt,” said Kerrin McCall, the chair of KEAC. “A temporary shoo-fly line, when it’s taken down, is put back into inventory and reused. It would be $20 million less than the proposed redundant line.”

McCall said it’s important to “fill the room” at the hearing Wednesday.

“Just like we did for the gas station ban on Main Street, the public voice has to be heard,” she said. “Then the PUC can hear what our community desires. That’s really the focus.

It’s democracy and action. And then, as we go into the future, allow the community to develop a more resilient power grid.”

Zack Waterman, state director of the Idaho Chapter Sierra Club, said that “unlike distributed energy resources, a second line would not provide an independent source of power, meaning it would do nothing to mitigate another Christmas Eve 2009 outage” that left the Valley without power for 12 hours in some places.

“We got involved because we monitor different documents,” Waterman said. “We want to promote climate solutions, which is why we work on electrical issues.”

Waterman pointed out that there are better alternatives and that the infrastructure Idaho Power proposes has its own shelf life due to advances in alternative power.

Meanwhile, “Idaho Power could move forward regardless of local objections,” Waterman said. tws

Eclipse Planning Series: Keeping Cool In The Heat As the temperatures rise, and as we begin preparing for the total solar eclipse on Monday, Aug. 21 and the large influx of visitors expected to converge on our area for the event, it’s imperative to keep cool, remain hydrated and stay informed.

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

• A child’s body temperature rises 5 times faster than an adult’s.

• Death can occur when child’s body temperature reaches 107 degrees.

• On an 80-degree day, a child’s body temperature can reach deadly levels in only 10 minutes.

• On days when ambient temperatures exceed 86 degrees, the internal temperatures of a vehicle can quickly reach 134 to 154 degrees.

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

Avoid excessive exertion late in the day when temperatures are often at their peak. Both the exercise itself and the air temperature increase your core body temperature. To help cool itself, the body sends more blood to circulate through your skin. This leaves less blood for your muscles, which in turn increases your heart rate.

Stay hydrated. Often water alone isn’t enough, and the body needs to replace electrolytes. Sport drinks are sugary, so it’s best to find electrolyte drops that can be placed in water. Dress appropriately. Lightweight, loose-fitting clothing helps sweat evaporate and keeps you cooler. Avoid dark colors, which can absorb heat. If possible, wear a light-colored, wide-brimmed hat.

For more tips for a safe and healthy summer, visit cdc.gov/features/extremeheat or ask your local physician. If you don’t have one, call St. Luke’s Center for Community Health at (208) 727-8733 for help finding the right provider for you.

Burley Residents Oppose City’s Eminent-Domain Proposal Sixty-four percent of Burley residents responded to a survey that was commissioned by Franklin Building Supply regarding an eminent domain issue. The majority of respondents oppose the City of Burley’s plan to seize a portion of the business’s lumberyard using eminent domain in order to build a road from Walmart, the survey found. The survey found that 16 percent of respondents support the plan and just 19 percent are unsure. Thirty-nine percent cited concerns over neighborhood safety, 32 percent said because they believe in protecting private property rights, and 11 percent mentioned traffic concerns.

Located at East 3rd Street North and Overland Avenue, the exit road has been in discussion for more than a decade, according to Wauna Vista neighbors and Franklin Building Supply’s local store manager, Jay Tegethoff. However, the Burley City Council and Mayor Merlin Smedley’s recent revival of the idea caught the business by surprise, Tegethoff said.

“The plan would make Franklin’s current entrance and customer parking area inaccessible and unsafe,” Tegethoff said. “Trucks would not be able to enter or exit the lumberyard safely.”

Franklin Building Supply has had a retail store in Burley for decades, first under the name of Volco, and under its current name for the last 18 years.

“Private property rights are sacred in Idaho,” said Rick Lierz, Franklin’s president and CEO. “When they are taken away involuntarily through a less-than-forthright process, we all should be concerned and hold elected officials accountable.”

A grassroots coalition of neighbors and business leaders, called Burley Neighbors Against Eminent Domain, has more than 300 Facebook followers and has gathered 120 signatures against the project, in addition to a hard copy of the petition being circulated at local businesses.

New Galena Trails Project To Open

The Blaine County Recreation District, Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Galena Lodge will celebrate the completion of the Galena Summer Trails project at 2:30 p.m., Friday, Aug. 4 at Galena Lodge. There will be a ribbon-cutting, trail exploration, refreshments and a barbecue on the deck. The barbecue will cost $10 a person.

The Galena Summer Trails project is a 47-mile nonmotorized stacked-loop singletrack trail network surrounding Galena Lodge. Completed this summer, the trails are enjoyed by hikers, bikers and equestrians of all ages and abilities.

In 2007, the BCRD, concessionaires of the Lodge, and other community groups such as Big Wood Backcountry Trails, conceived the idea to develop a summer trail system around the Lodge to honor the area’s history and ecology, and to provide great mult-use nonmotorized recreation.

The BCRD submitted a multi-use trails proposal based on a design by International Mountain Biking Association to the SNRA, which pursued an environmental assessment of the proposed project. The final approval came July 2013 for a 47-mile total system. Work on the trail system will be done by the end of this summer. BCRD staff, with trail contractors Progressive Trail Design and Sagebrush Trails, carried out all trail construction.

The construction of the trails was funded by a very generous set of donors. The trails are offered free of charge; however, the ongoing maintenance and sustainment of the trails is funded through the BCRD’s annual fundraising efforts.

“We are thrilled to see the completion of such an amazing project and are so grateful for our partners and supporters who worked with us to bring this trail network to fruition and to the community,” said Jim Keating, executive director of the BCRD. “We hope that everyone will join us in celebrating the next chapter of Galena.”

Killebrew-Thompson Memorial Presents Cancer In Focus

The Killebrew-Thompson Memorial, an annual cancer research benefit, will host its annual four-day charity event Aug. 16-19. The event will include “Cancer in Focus,” a presentation that is free and open to the public from 4-5 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 17, in the Limelight Room of the Sun Valley Inn. The event’s “sole focus is to raise funds for cancer research,” said Hannah Stauts, executive director of KTM. “Unfortunately, cancer is something that touches all our lives, in some way. We hope by hosting this event people will take the opportunity to learn more about why funding for cancer research is so crucial and offers a lot of hope for the future.”

Moderated by Tucker W. LeBien, Ph.D., of the University of Minnesota, Cancer in Focus will highlight the latest developments in advanced prostate cancer research as well as current trends in immunotherapy, featuring informative presentations by St. Luke’s Mountain States Tumor Institute in Boise and the Masonic Cancer Center at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

“One of the most challenging activities we undertake at the Masonic Cancer Center is the development of new drugs to treat cancer,” LeBien said. “As a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center, we’re expected to tackle some of the most intractable problems in cancer treatment and care. The funds raised by KTM are instrumental to the development of novel drugs to treat cancer.”

The forum will also include Dr. Scott Dehm, associate professor at the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota, who runs a research laboratory focused on advanced-stage prostate cancer. Dr. Dan Zuckerman, medical director of St. Luke’s Mountain States Tumor Institute in Boise, will join Dehm.

“This is an exciting time for research at MSTI,” Zuckerman said. “With the continued dedication and generosity of organizations like KTM, we can push the boundaries of science and ease the burden of cancer in our society.”

On Saturday, July 15, United Vision for Idaho hosted the first march and rally for Healthcare of 2017, along with the Interfaith Equality Coalition; Idaho State Independent Living Council; National Alliance on Mental Illness, Boise; ACLU of Idaho; Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest; Idaho State AFL-CIO; National Organization for Women Local Chapter; and Blaine County Chapter, Indivisible Idaho.

Hundreds marched through the streets of downtown Boise, from the Idaho Statehouse to the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial—a symbolic move to demonstrate that healthcare is a human right.

The march was part of a national effort in 32 states across the country to “RISE UP” for healthcare, timed to, according to Adreinne Evans, executive director of United Action of Idaho, put “pressure on lawmakers to reject any changes to the Affordable Care Act that could strip millions of health insurance, gives license to insurers to reject claims based on a host of new preexisting conditions, undermines preventative care for thousands, targets women’s healthcare, fundamentally changes Medicaid, or aims to change to the healthcare systems that makes up one-sixth of our economy, or seeks to give tax breaks to the nation’s most wealthy at the expense of poor communities, communities of color, those with disabilities, children and the elderly.”

arey resident and recent Wood River High School graduate Jeron Peavey strives to do a good job at anything he tackles.

“It’s the little things that count and that get you recognition,” Peavey said. “They tell people that you’ve done a good job and that makes everyone around you feel good.”

This summer, Peavey is working at Smoky Mountain Pizzeria, in Ketchum, as a cook, where his father is also the manager.

“My dad dragged me in six years ago and I’ve pretty much done it all, from dishwashing to cooking pizzas to making pastas and sandwiches.

“My work ethic is to do the best job you can do as fast as you can do it. That includes putting the maximum effort into everything you do, including the small things, like putting a garnish on a plate.”

Next year Peavey will take that work ethic to the University of Idaho, where he will major in computer science.

“When I got into high school I had more flexibility in choosing my courses and one of them I decided to take was I.T. Applications, which covered everything that had to do with computers.

“It really caught my attention and led me to other classes, like computer graphics and graphic design. Even though I had always been around computers, I was learning something new.

I could see how they work and what it is that makes them so im-

portant to our lives.

“Basically, in this century, we are in the age of computers and everything we do is connected to them in one way or another. It’s made the world interconnected and the fact is that there is more computer processing power in your cellphone than there was in the first spaceship.”

Peavey’s dream is a future in computer programming.

“It has to do primarily with math and equations and that’s my strong suit. I really want to push myself and have a great learning experience.”

For his personal project at Wood River, Peavey shadowed an e-commerce sales manager at Smith Sport Optics.

“Basically, he laid out a series of tasks so that I could create an advertisement on Google. He would then program it and create the full layout and then install and upload a link for the public.

“My job was to create an ad that I thought would be eye-catching and draw attention. I would throw out ideas and catch-phrases and then we would go into the database and pull up preset pictures.”

Peavey put about 90 hours into the project, after school.

“I had always worked in restaurants, so this was my first real-life desk job. I ended up really liking it because you had your own computer and you got to work at your own pace. My mom had always done the desk jobs in the family so it was a real eye-opener and prepped me for the future.” tws

Fishing R epoRt

PET COLUMN NO BONES ABOUT IT THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JULY 26 - AUGUST 1 FROM PICABO ANGLER

W

e are halfway through our summer fly-fishing season in the Sun Valley area. What a summer it has been! We knew that with a 200-percent snowpack we would be in for a special season and a delayed start on many waters, and both have transpired.

The influx of water made for an incredible June and July on Silver Creek. With the Creek being the only game in the state of Idaho at times, we were blessed with great hatches, cold water, good currents and anglers willing to work together to make sure a good time was had by all.

We move toward August now with all our area waters beginning to fish very well. Anglers are enjoying the Big Wood River while relearning it after a massive spring runoff. Green Drakes are winding down, but there are plenty of hungry fish out there looking for Stoneflies and Hoppers or your favorite attractor pattern. The water remains high with plenty of volume, so be aware and be careful.

The upper Lost continues to come into shape. The East Fork has seen plenty of angler pressure and modest catch rates, but as the water continues to fall, the North Fork, Wild Horse Creek and the main Lost should begin to produce some fun days on the water.

Silver Creek continues to be remarkable, and with all the area waters beginning to fish, the angling pressure on the Creek is minimal. The Trico Spinner Fall in the morning continues to gain steam. Fish are still locking on Damsel Flies in the afternoon and the Hopper action is really gaining steam. We should be in for an epic late-summer Hopper fishery on the Creek!

The evenings are a grab bag of insects that include PMDs, Baetis and Callibaetis. The Mouse fishing has remained productive and should pick up as the fall approaches.

The South Fork of the Boise is fishing well with Hoppers and Cicadas fished out of a driftboat.

Pink Alberts are hatching in the afternoons and the magical evening hour on the South Fork always seems to bring fish to the surface.

The lower Lost remains high and it will be a while before we are fishing there. Magic Reservoir has been very good lately, with low-light hours being particularly productive. Anglers are floating the Salmon River and catching fish from boats.

Finally, the Little Wood River is coming into shape, but the mosquito factor is a 10 right now!

Happy fishing, everyone!

THE CASE FOR CRATES; A HEART ATTACK STORY

y now, most of the Valley knows my recent expedition over Mount Heart Attack. Let me say that the journey there is far beyond any Everest climb!

I am here today to tell you this story for several reasons. The first is to pay overwhelming tribute to St. Luke’s ER doctor, James Torres, and the forthright, honest and hard line that he took with me, someone in total denial of their health condition.

The second is that extraordinarily compassionate and capable Life Flight crew that raced me to the Twin Falls Cath Lab to the expert hands of cardiologist, Dr. Joseph Hymas. Without all of them and their support teams I wouldn’t be here to tell you this story.

A day in Stanley with the dogs and my dear friend Margery left me a little tired. I was feeling like I had been experiencing panic attacks late into the day. But, after getting home, feeding the dogs and settling in for a peaceful night’s sleep, I was awakened by a horrible pain in my chest.

I thought to myself, I am not experiencing all the symptoms I have read about for a heart attack, so I was unsure. I got up, walked around the house, then the pain started in my back. It was not crushing pain, as I envisioned a heart attack to be. It didn’t make me fall over, or lose my breath— although what I could hear is my daughter’s voice—former executive director for the American Heart Association in Idaho—telling me that women do not experience heart attacks like men do.

But, still, I wondered.

I was afraid to call 911. I had no idea what opening that door was going to do for so many reasons.

Then the next thing happened: I felt the cold sweats. Not for long, though; it was that symptom that forced me into action.

Living with several very confident, very protective German shepherds has been a worry on my mind for many years, especially in this situation. Had I called 911, how would EMS get through the front door without a confrontation? And who would

care for the dogs in my absence?

Most dogs become extremely protective of their owner if they feel their owner is threatened. Even the most docile poodle can become a dog you have never experienced before. Owning German shepherds, I knew that instinctive protective nature would prevail. I know these things, being the dog behavior specialist that I am.

In the past, I had this conversation with many of my German shepherd friends as well as my law enforcement friends: how would I protect my dogs in this type of emergency situation? I finally came to the conclusion that this scenario would be the one I would play out, if I were able.

I told all the dogs to go to their “night nights.” In seconds, they scattered into their individual crates. Not one, even my puppy, hesitated for a second to carry out my wishes. Happily, they went right in, lay down and waited for their treat. I didn’t have a treat, but they didn’t care. It took me another 10 seconds to walk around my living room to close the crate doors. Now they were safe. There would be no confrontation with anyone coming to the house to rescue me.

Terrified, I made that call and within two minutes the Hailey police arrived ahead of the ambulance. There I sat, on my front porch, in pain and probably not very coherent. They asked how I was and I muttered something about I thought I was having a heart attack, but that I was confused because I didn’t think I would be able to even walk during a heart attack. I explained that my symptoms were not those that you usually hear about associated with a heart attack.

The dogs barked lightly from the safety of their crates, just to let the intruder know they were there, but there was no threat to anyone. They were safe, and the police, fire and rescue, and EMS were safe. I was safe, and on my way through a journey I never expected, but I had thought this through previously and trained my dogs for just such an event!

When someone tells me they don’t want to crate-train their dogs, I always tell them it is a life

skill. Now, more than ever, I mean it to be a life-saving skill. The fact that my dogs didn’t hesitate, didn’t give me any guff in a moment of trauma, was reassuring to me that they would be fine.

I then had a plan for someone to come into the house who the dogs knew, to take care of them in the morning. What a relief for me to know that the loves of my life were going to be okay and cared for.

I don’t know what would have happened if they had been loose in the house when the police arrived and had to come inside to save my life. It could have been a perfect storm. Dogs that move into protective drive don’t think like people do. They don’t say to themselves, “Oh, it’s EMS, let them in” The point of this story is to urge all of you to call 911 even if you suspect a heart attack, especially all the women out there who don’t feel all the typical symptoms. All I had were chest and back pains, then eventually

a very short bout of cold sweats.

Make a plan ahead of time, especially if you live by yourself, to care for your dog(s). Then, train for that emergency. Be sure your dog can run to a crate for safety, easily and happily. It’s the safest place for them to be and allows even unknown help to enter the house when you are not there.

People who know me laugh at my priorities. And we can laugh now, but it was no laughing matter at the time. Even my two 10-year-old dogs still have impeccable crate skills. Going in the crate and being happy there is not just for young dogs. It’s a life-saving skill for everyone Fran Jewell is an Idaho Press Club award-winning columnist, IAABC-certified dog behavior consultant, NADOI-certified instructor #1096 and the owner of Positive Puppy Dog Training, LLC, in Sun Valley.

A PUBLISHER’S NOTE FOR OUR COMMUNITY Let’s Help Fran Jewell In Her Time Of Need

Dear readers, Early on Monday morning, July 17, Fran Jewell—a longtime contributor to The Weekly Sun’s Commentary section with her dearly loved “No Bones About It” dog-training column—suffered a heart attack and was flown to St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center in Twin Falls.

She had a 90 percent blockage in her left front main artery. Thankfully, the doctors were able to quickly insert a stent, and she’s on the road to recovery. She returned home to Hailey within 36 hours of the event. Now that she is back home, she needs a little help.

I have always considered Fran’s column to be a true gift to our community; now it’s time for us, as a community, to return the favor, in whatever way we can. The most helpful ways to contribute are by aiding with her medical expenses (tinyurl.com/ fran-medical), by preparing meals for Fran (tinyurl.com/fran-meals), by buying food for her dogs (tinyurl.com/fran-dog-food), by purchasing gas cards to help pay for trips three times per week to Twin Falls for cardiac rehab, or by offering help with housecleaning so she can rest as much as possible and recover.

Fran sends her love to all her readers and

friends who have reached out to her. Also make sure you read her column this week; I think it’s the best one she’s ever written.

Community means “common unity.” One of the aspects I cherish most about ours is the way we care for each other when one of us needs help most. It takes a village.

Let’s come together now to help Fran in her time of need, Brennan Rego Publisher

ne of the great delights of summer is when the bog orchid blooms. It is such a regal and stately plant. There is a glade that I like to visit throughout the summer, which has a good combination of both shade and sun. Side by side, I can observe shade-loving plants next to sun-loving plants. In my last visit, I saw the bog orchid predictably next to the elegant death camas. Since both plants like wet ground, it is quite common to see them growing next to one another. They will also bloom pretty much at the same time.

Less usual is to see the bog orchid growing next to the more elusive pink wintergreen. Pink wintergreen likes shade, whereas bog orchid will grow in full sun or partial shade. I think of pink wintergreen as a rather shy plant. Even though the bell-like flower heads are a vivid pink, they nod downward as if they are hiding their faces. Meanwhile, the bog orchid is straight and tall, proudly displaying its sepals and petals. Since the blooms on the bog orchid are white, they catch the sunlight, which filters through the forested glade, making the flower heads appear to glow.

Pink wintergreen is a dainty plant.

The flowers have five pink petals, many stamens and one long style.

The top of the petal, where all five of them come together, is a very light

pink. This color deepens, traveling down the petal, to a very rich dark pink on the very tip.

So often in nature I find a symphony of opposites. At one moment the quiet violins will be playing and then suddenly the cymbals will enter the scene, clashing mightily. On this particular day the nodding heads of the pink wintergreen stood in con-

trast to the spotlighted orchid, proving the old dictum that opposites do indeed attract.

Old School Records To Be Destroyed

All public schools, including the Blaine County School District, are required to keep confidential special education records for a minimum of five years after a student is disenrolled from the district. Medicaid-related records must be kept for six years. These records may include the following: access logs, contact logs, referral to a special education, eligibility reports which include assessment results, Individual Education Program documents, progress reports and data sheets, correspondence, medical records that were shared with the district and other miscellaneous records, including Medicaid-related documents.

Records for students with birthdays between Jan. 1, 1989 and Aug. 9, 1994 are due for destruction on Sept.

5, 2017. Parents of students with special education needs were notified through the mail that they have until Sept. 5 to contact Director of Student Services Debi Gutknecht at dgutknecht@blaineschools.org, mail at 118 W. Bullion St., Hailey, ID 83333, or phone at (208) 578-5004 to pick up the record or request the record be sent to the parent. Parents can also formally object to the destruction of the information.

THAT TOAD IS A FROG!

haring a valley with many majestic mammals and bejeweled birds that easily catch the eye, it can be easy to overlook some of its smaller denizens. Peer into a Sawtooth pond or peep under fallen logs up in the SNRA, however, and one is likely to encounter a school of tadpoles or a shy frog.

In general, when we think of the difference between frogs and toads, it is easy to conjure up the image of a smooth-skinned, aquatic lilypad leaper and contrast it to that of a dry, bumpy-skinned toad awkwardly crawl-hopping across the forest floor. Though these distinctions are roughly correct, such nomenclature is simply shorthand for frogs that appear and behave differently.

Toads are actually a family of frogs that make up one of the three orders of amphibians: frogs, salamanders, and caecilians (a fascinating group of limbless amphibians that often resemble snakes or large earthworms).

Frogs are members of the order Anura, which is composed of about 7,000 species. “True toads”—Family Bufonidae—account for roughly 10 percent of anurans. Frog species are so diverse that the Sarah Bahan grew up in the Wood common nomencla- River Valley and currently works as ture that distinguishes a veterinarian at Sawtooth Animal “frogs” from “toads” Center in Bellevue. is often based on the general physical appearance of frog species and does not denote true taxonomic and evolutionary differences.

Recent molecular research suggests that, much like mammals, frog diversity exploded after dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. Given that amphibians hail from a much older branch of the evolutionary tree dating back over 200 million years, these results were a bit surprising. Not only were amphibians able to fill ecological niches vacated by dinosaurs, but the meteorite impact that so famously wiped out the predominant fauna of the time also led to a new flora regime.

Flowering plants and trees (angiosperms) came to dominate the landscape and the surviving amphibians evolved along with them, inhabiting newly created arboreal niches. In the process of evolving a tree-based life cycle, about half of frog species even lost the tadpole stage of their development and evolved the ability to grow from eggs straight into small froglets!

Though frogs can be found all around the globe, ranging from the equator to the subarctic, their diversity is centered in the tropics. With patience and an eye for the correct habitat, in our area, one may encounter species such as the Rocky Mountain tailed frog, Columbia spotted frog, Pacific tree frog, and Western toad.

SENIORS NEED TO BEAT THE HEAT

BY SENIOR CONNECTION

W

e all know that weather can be dangerous. This is especially true for older adults.

Every summer nearly 200 seniors die of health problems caused by high heat and humidity. Hot weather is more likely to cause health problems for older adults for a variety of reasons. These reasons include aging-related physical changes in the body, chronic health conditions and even side effects of taking some medications.

When the temperature climbs above 90 degrees, older people should stay safe by following these guidelines: • Stay hydrated – drink plenty of liquids. Cool water and clear juices are best. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. Enjoy cold foods and salads as much as possible.

• Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages, since they actually can contribute to dehydration.

• Avoid extreme outdoor heat.

Run errands before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m., when it’s cooler. If you must leave the house, wear a sunscreen of at least SPF 30.

Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, as well. If you need to get somewhere and you don’t drive, arrange for a taxi or friend to take you. Don’t wait outside for a bus in extreme heat.

• Stay indoors during midday hours. Wear loose, lightweight clothing. Close your curtains or drapes to keep out the heat of the sun.

• Seek air-conditioned environments. If you don’t have air-conditioning at home, spend your day at the library, an indoor mall or a movie theater. The Senior Connection is an excellent place to cool

down, have a great lunch and socialize. If you must stay home, take a cool bath, shower or sponge bath. Put cool, wet washcloths on your wrists, ankles and neck.

• Know the warning signs for heat stroke. If you feel that you’re in trouble, call 911.

• Come to Scoops, the ice cream parlor at the Senior Connection!

The Senior Connection will be the beneficiary of a fundraiser at The Wicked Spud at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 9.

There will be raffle prizes, a band and the usual great food and drink. Come and have fun while supporting the many important services provided by the Senior Connection.

The Sun Valley Summer Symphony will perform from July 24 through August 17. It’s a wonderful opportunity to relax in the Pavilion or picnic on the lawn while listening to the magnificent music, and IT is free for all.

Ketch’em Alive continues with free live music in Forest Service Park every Tuesday at 7 p.m.

SYMPHONY IN THE MOUNTAINS Orchestra Festival to take the stage

T

BY YANNA LANTZ

he largest privately funded, free-admission symphony in America, the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, will celebrate its 10th season in the R.E. Holding Sun Valley Pavilion this summer.

The Symphony brings together more than 100 musicians from major orchestras across the country and Canada, including those in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Cleveland, Houston, Toronto, Pittsburgh and St. Louis.

“The Sun Valley Summer Symphony is a unique institution,” said Alasdair Neale, music director. “It is indebted to the generosity of individuals to a degree that would never exist anywhere else in the world and is unusual even by American standards.”

The organization’s In Focus Series is already in full swing.

Pianist Conrad Tao, performing with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony for the second time, will play Shostakovich’s Concerto No. 1 in C Minor for Piano on July 26 and Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” on July 28. San Francisco Classical Voice has called Tao’s playing “full of thrills: laser-sharp articulation and accuracy, powerful glissandos… and, what’s more, heartfelt expression.” Both performances will take place at 6 p.m. at the Pavilion.

Renowned violinist Gil Shaham will perform at the Symphony’s July 31 concert, which will celebrate 10 years at the R.E. Holding Sun Valley Pavilion and kick off the Orchestra Festival. All Orchestra Festival concerts are free and commence at 6:30 p.m.

Shaham is renowned for his charismatic and masterful

performances, and he will perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D Major with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony.

“I’m so thrilled to welcome back good friend and colleague Gil Shaham for his fourth appearance with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony,” said Neale. “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.”

The season will showcase the symphony in expansive orchestra works such as Brahms’ Symphony No. 1 and Strauss’ “Ein Heldenleben,” while highlighting guest artists and individual orchestra members on other evenings.

Violinist James Ehnes will perform Elgar’s Concerto in B Minor for Violin on Aug. 8. Ehnes holds a Grammy, a Gramophone and 11 JUNO awards.

“We have been wanting to present this piece for a long time, and have been waiting for the right partner,” said Neale.

“James Ehnes has an incredible blend of head and heart.”

Verdi’s “Requiem” will close the 2017 season on Aug. 17.

The spectacularly dramatic 80-minute work was written as a tribute to Alessandro Manzoni, an Italian poet and novelist whom Verdi admired. It will bring together the 150-member American Festival Chorus, vocal soloists and an orchestra with 12 trumpets.

“Verdi’s ‘Requiem’ is one of the masterpieces of the classical canon,” Neale said. “Whatever your beliefs may be, you will hear something extraordinary and beautiful.”

A trip to the market presents a perfect opportunity to get to know the growers and inquire about their practices. If a farmer isn’t USDA certified but uses organic methods, he or she will likely be excited to share their methods. Ask whether they use synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fungicides, if their seed is genetically modified and how they control pests and plant disease.

For meats, inquire how the animal was raised. How many acres of pasture per animal (an acre per cow is reasonable)?

How do the animals graze?

Is the feed produced without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and GMOs? How is animal health managed?

How far must they travel to be processed?

One important distinction is “grass-fed” versus “grassfinished” beef.

Grass-fed animals graze on grass most of their lives but may have been switched to a corn-based diet to facilitate weight gain a few months before slaughter.

The most nutritious beef is grass-finished, which means

7PM / SUN VALLEY BREWERY / HAILEY Holus Bolus, the One-Man-Psychedelic-Acoustiloop musician, will be bringing his one-of-a kind show to the Sun Valley Brewery. Tom Boylan, from Crescent City, Calif., will perform live looping with an acoustic guitar and small drum kit.

that the cow was never put on a supplemental diet and ate only grass. Fortunately, there are some farmers who use high-quality feed rather than GMO corn, and maintain a high standard of living for their cattle.

The Wood River Farmer’s Market Association requires that all products be produced by the vendor (not a third party) within a 100-mile radius of Ketchum. Quality conversations and intentional questions will build your confidence in local producers and quality products, and encourage more farmers to produce sustainably.

ussia seems to be in the news every day.

Russian knapweed is no different. This weed, much like the country it’s named after, seems to have a persistent noxious presence. Today we are going to talk about Russian knapweed, how to identify it, and how to control it biologically. Have no fear; the Blaine Bug Crew is here.

Russian knapweed is a perennial plant that reproduces mainly by creeping roots.

In addition, a single plant is capable of producing more than 1,200 seeds. These seeds vary in color from gray to ivory and are produced from August through September. The erect stems are openly branched and typically 45 to 90 cm tall. The leaves are oblong on the upper part of the plant and become deeply lobed the closer they are to the root crown. The easiest way to identify Russian knapweed is by its black roots—the only knapweed with this trait.

Russian knapweed produces many flowers, which range in color from pink to blue.

Flowering typically begins in June and continues through September. Russian knapweed forms dense infestations across habitat types in the

arid West. It is a significant pest of rangelands, roadsides and waste areas, and can invade grain and other crops.

Recently, Jaapiella ivannikovi (JAIV) and Aulacidea acroptilonica (AUAC) were approved for release by the Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). These two biological-control agents are welcome additions in our fight to get Russian knapweed under control.

In conclusion, if you find any Russian knapweed, make sure to keep this invader in control by pulling small patches and mowing larger infestations before the plant flowers. If it meets certain criteria, it may be a good spot for bio-control.

If your Russian knapweed is free from mowing, cultivating, spraying, or other major disturbances, contact the Blaine Bug Crew at (208) 3160355.
