armers’ markets, an invention that follows a tradition of roadside fruit and vegetable stands, and lazy summer visits to farms, brings food as close to consumers as possible in its freshest state. Why wouldn’t a consumer do 90 percent of their shopping there?

Consider that these markets sell food that has been grown in the healthiest soil possible, with no pesticides, herbicides or GMOs to taint the taste, nutritional value and purity of the food. Consider that the people who sell it are the actual farmers; that by buying from them you skip the middle man; that they picked that produce that morning; and that they go back and do it all over again the next day.

For you. And this is the way they make a living.

Nearly two decades ago, organic farmers began to proliferate in and around southcentral Idaho.

They also began bringing their produce up to the Wood River Valley to sell. The locations of the Hailey and Ketchum markets changed over the years, but for more than a decade the markets have had a steady customer base in committed locations, run by the Wood River Farmers’ Market and managed by longtime Valley resident Kaz Thea. Both markets will run through the week of Oct. 10.

The Ketchum Farmers’ Market, which will begin 2-4 p.m.

Tuesday, June 13, is held on Fourth Street between Walnut

and Leadville avenues. There are about 59 vendors and many craft vendors that will rotate through the summer.

The Hailey market will begin two weeks later, on Thursday, June 28. It will be open from 3-7 p.m. to accommodate more end-of-day, after-work, commuting customers. The Hailey market will also relocate across the street from its former location.

It will now be on the east side of Main Street, on Carbonate Street itself, between the Sun Valley Brewery and Christopher & Co. “We want it to be really full, and open with a bang,” Thea said. “I hope people understand how good clean, local food is, and how much longer it lasts.

Farmers pick and are selling it to you the same day—harvesting in the morning, packing it, driving it up.”

It’s also better for the environment.

Indeed, industrial farming is the second largest contributor to greenhouses gases following the burning of fossil fuels. Industrial-scale livestock production is usually centralized and therefore requires extensive transportation and, as the distance food travels increases, so does the role of chemicals and processing to reduce spoilage before the food reaches the marketplace.

So it’s little wonder that produce from an organic family farm tastes more delicious, is fresher and, when you shop at a farmers’ market, you’re putting money directly back into the local agriculture community.

“It’s prioritizing the right things in life,” Thea said. “It’s better for your health, too; not only is it harder on the environment but it costs more in subsidies.”

The Ketchum market will have many return producers as well as about 16 new vendors. Craft people will rotate through the summer, and as always there will be live music and food trucks. New vendors include Squash Blossom Farm owned by Sara Berman and Ed Zindander and the Road Bar truck, both Wood River Valley-based.

“The market is sound and consistent and large,” Thea said.

“We’ve really made a park out of it. That became a great thing. It’s grown. It’s been embraced by the community.”

Thea hopes that the south-Valley consumers will embrace the new location.

At the new Hailey market, one new innovation will be a beer garden during the Farmers’ Market hours, facilitated by Sun Valley Brewery. As well, there will be live music and food trucks.

“A lot of people are saying they are excited about the new venue,” Thea said. “It’s new and different, and near other activity and restaurants. It’d be awesome if the stores nearby stayed open later to capitalize on it.”

The Ketchum market will be held Monday, July 3, instead of Tuesday, July 4, due to the holiday.

A rollover crash on Highway 75 at mile marker 104 occurred on Sunday, June 4 at 8:35 p.m.

A black 2008 Ford F250 pickup truck, driven northbound by Richard Beck, 63, rolled one-and-a-half times before settling upside down in the canal, facing north.

Among the witnesses was Devin Christensen who, with others, managed to unhook Beck’s seatbelt and pull him to safety.

“It was very fortunate someone was there to witness the accident and give him aid,” said Steve Harkins, Blaine County sheriff.

Beck was transported to St. Luke’s Wood River with non-life-threatening injuries.

BIG WOOD RIVER LIVES UP TO ITS NAME

T

BY DANA DUGAN

echnologists from the United States Geological Survey are monitoring the Big Wood River as the river continues to rise and fall with changing weather temperatures.

Using an acoustic Doppler current profiler, which measures via ultrasound, Bob Reaves and Jay Bateman, both based out of USGS station 13 in Idaho Falls, have been testing the river for speed, velocity, height and discharge.

“This is historic,” Reaves said, “probably 10 to 12 feet per second.”

Early Tuesday morning, the Big Wood River was at a stage (height) of 7.46 feet and flowing at 5,210 cubic feet per second.

The five-day forecast is for river levels to fluctuate between 7.5 feet and 5,300 cfs and 7.8 feet and 5,820 cfs through Saturday, June 10.

On Wednesday, the peak is forecast for 7.89 feet and 5,820 cfs at noon.

The Probability of Exceedance graph continues to show a 95 percent confidence of reaching these peaks. As always, it will be highly dependent upon the actual weather temperatures reached.

Wednesday and Thursday the weather forecast shows daytime high temperatures in the 80s and overnight low temperatures in the 50s. Friday, June 9, will bring cooler temperatures and a chance of rain showers.

gage. The stream gage is managed and operated to rigorous national standards.

“When we see the river stage (height) go up and down in a very short period, that means bedload (large gravel) is moving through the river,” Bateman said.

Metal testing in the river south of Bellevue has shown negligible amounts of metals, according to the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare. The river was tested for arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, selenium, silver, zinc and mercury. Each of these was well below maximum contaminant levels.

The City of Hailey will hold an informational meeting for flood-impacted residents at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 8 at the Community Campus in Hailey.

Staying Safe Around Electrical Equipment in Flooded Areas

Idaho Power crews are patrolling and working in areas at high risk for flooding in the Wood River Valley. Water can damage electrical equipment, creating a hazardous situation. As a reliability and safety precaution, Idaho Power may need to turn off power to some customers.

If you are in an area impacted by flooding: • Stay away from electrical equipment, including lines, poles, green transformer boxes and anything else that looks like electrical equipment or has electric-hazard warning signs.

• Homeowners are encouraged to call an electrician if their equipment becomes impacted by flooding.

• In advance of possible outages, charge your cell phone and ensure flashlights have batteries.

If it is necessary to turn off your power due to flooding, Idaho Power will attempt to reach you via an automated phone call at the number associated with your Idaho Power account. We understand outages are inconvenient and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to safely manage the effects of flooding on our idahopower.com/outage electrical equipment.

ASSISTANT SUPERINTENENT LEAVES SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR NEW JOB

T

BY JEAN JACQUES BOHL

he Blaine County School District has announced that assistant superintendent John Blackman will retire from his job at the district. The announcement took a lot of people by surprise. Blackman has accepted the position of principal at Flathead High School in Kalispell, Mont., where he began his career as a student teacher in 1984. He will start work there on July 1.

Originally from Washington, Blackman received his bachelor of arts degree from Montana State University.

In 1998 he received his master’s degree in educational administration from the University of Idaho.

Blackman had a long and distinguished 33-year career with the Blaine County School District. He started working at Wood River High School in 1984 as a secondary art teacher, where he inspired and encouraged countless students.

Blackman also served as the Wood River High School varsity football coach from 1984 to 1993. According to his colleagues, his dedication and passion inspired a strong loyalty from his players.

He became assistant principal at Wood River High School in 2001 and became principal in 2007. In 2010, he moved to the district office in his current role as the assistant superintendent for the Blaine County School District. After Superintendent Lonnie Barber left the district in 2013, Blackman served as interim superintendent for one year prior to the board of trustees hiring Dr. GwenCarol Holmes.

“John is known and admired by generations of families in Blaine County, first as an art teacher and football coach, then as an administrator, and finally as the assistant superintendent,” said Superintendent GwenCarol Holmes. “I am grateful to him for his public service to the children of Blaine County, whom he cares so deeply about.”

Many WRHS colleagues and alumni praised Blackman for his commitment to students.

“John Blackman is one of the best administrators in Blaine County and in the state of Idaho,” said Donna Sipe, of Hailey, a retired WRHS guidance counselor.

“He has a true love of his profession and the children he serves.”

“My admiration grew when he became principal at Wood River High School. When students needed discipline, he was fair and firm and did his best to help students learn from mistakes and move on, often sharing his own struggles with them,” said Janet Dennis, of Fairfield, a retired WRHS special services teacher. “He took a personal interest in so many students. His leadership helped us develop and grow.”

Gentlest giant there ever was.”

Lissa Poynter 1990 Wood River High School graduate “I’ve known John Blackman for over 30 years. First, he was my coach; then, he became my friend; later, he would become my colleague, and then my boss,” said Brian Daluiso, a former WRHS English teacher. “In those 30 years he demonstrated unparalleled commitment, passion, loyalty, dedication, and love for every student and teacher working with him or for him.”

“John has one of the biggest hearts I know in a person,” said Clara Martin, Bellevue resident and custodial supervisor for the school district. “I will miss his bear hugs. I wish him and his family much happiness in their next adventure.”

“I have enjoyed working with Mr. Blackman during this my first year on the school board,” said Ellen Mandeville, Hailey resident and school board trustee. “His warm manner and historical Blaine County School District knowledge have been a big benefit to me. I wish Mr. Blackman all the best in this new chapter in his life.”

sive about Blackman.

“I literally owe everything to John,” said Bellevue resident Mandi Iverson, WRHS Class of 2000. “Not only was he the best teacher, he was a big supporter, my mentor, and my very dear, dear friend to this day. I consider him family. I wish him and Lisa the very best on their new adventure. Not only will I miss him, but I know the community will, as well.”

“Gentlest giant there ever was,” said Seattle resident Lissa Poynter, WRHS Class of 1990. tws

New Exhibit On Wildfires To Open

The Community Library’s Sun Valley Museum of History will open a new exhibition, “Firelines: The Story of Wildland Fires in the American West,” Wednesday, June 7.

Firelines offers an overview of wildland firefighting history in the West and remembrances of the local wildland fires from 1865 to the present. This includes the 2007 Castle Rock and 2013 Beaver Creek fires and how they impacted the community.

“We are a community that lives very close to wildlands in a dry climate,” said Mary Tyson, director of The Community Library’s Regional History Department. “‘Firelines’ gives us a reflective opportunity to focus on nature’s late-summer fire season and the broader Western fire geography that compels our keen communal sense of place.”

Related programming from The Community Library and the Environmental Resource Center includes lectures, a book discussion series, and a “wildfire walk,” in which ecologists lead participants through areas burned in the Castle Rock and Beaver Creek fires, to explore the cycle of fire and renewal in the ecosystem.

For more information, contact Tyson at mtyson@ comlib.org or (208) 726-3493, ext. 103.

Crash Claims Victim

On Sunday, June 4, at approximately 4:40 p.m., Idaho State Police investigated a fatal motorcycle crash on State Highway 46 at milepost 130.5, in Gooding County.

Clint Hall, 52, of Fairfield, was driving northbound on SH46 on a 2004 Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Hall failed to negotiate a curve, drove off the right shoulder of the roadway, where his motorcycle overturned and he was ejected. Hall was not wearing a helmet.

Hall was transported by air ambulance to St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center in Twin Falls. Hall succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

Both northbound and southbound lanes of travel were blocked for approximately one hour.

Student Recognized For Volunteerism

On Monday, May 30, Amber Leyba, a sophomore at Wood River High School, was recognized by the Idaho Department of Welfare at a banquet for Mental Health Awareness Month.

“Amber is doing such a tremendous job working within our community,” said Angenie McCleary, Blaine County Commission chairwoman.

In addition, Leyba has registered for “The Congressional Award,” given to young Americans who dedicate themselves to community service. This award will help with college scholarships and entrance consideration as she embarks on her lofty career goals to fight stigma full time as a psychologist.

Leyba is also fundraising to attend the NAMI national conference in Washington, D.C. She hopes to raise mental health awareness within the community and learn more about mental health conditions and policies while exploring new ways to increase her involvement in the federal governing process. Community members interested in donating to Leyba’s efforts can do so online at nami-wrv.com/dc.

TRAIL CREEK ROAD WORK BEGINS

S

BY DANA DUGAN

teve Thompson, manager of Blaine County Road & Bridge, has been pretty busy with flood issues, but he’s also been fielding calls and considering the fate of Trail Creek Road that runs east from the Wood River Valley, up over Trail Creek Summit to the Lost River Valley into Custer County, dead-ending into Highway 93. The narrow dirt road, originally created to move ore by mule-drawn wagons, is always closed in the winter.

The unusually heavy snowfall this past winter made the road reopening a more difficult process, Thompson said.

“We’re working to clear debris and snow and make sure the road will be safe for passage,” he said. “We had concerns about avalanches from the winter, and there’s still a fair amount of snow on the road.”

The road has not fallen in, however. Thompson made clear that some drone photographs showed shadows on the road that

made it look as though it had collapsed in some areas, but that is not the case.

“We just did an evaluation with a GEO Stabilization Inc. engineer out of Bend, Ore.,” Thompson said. “They specialize in high-mountain roads, emergency landslide repairs and rockfall. He put an evaluation together.”

The work began on Monday to get the snow out of the way.

“We pulled guys off flooding projects so they can go full tilt,” Thompson said. “But we’re working as fast as we can.”

Thompson oversees 54 bridges, over 400 culverts, 124 miles of paved roads, and 326 miles of gravel roads.

The road and bridge department snowplows 293 miles of roadway, and also does seasonal avalanche and mudslide removal, grading, road repair, dust guarding, crack sealing, pothole repair, chip sealing, the installing of culverts and drainage systems, sign posting, tree cutting, and the conducting of road assessments.

Bellevue Man In Critical Condition

Elijah Lindley, 19, of Bellevue, was severely injured in a dirt-bike accident in Slaughterhouse Canyon, in Bellevue, on Saturday. Lindley was life-flighted to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, where he is in the Intensive Care Unit with severe head trauma and in a coma. The Idaho State Police handled the report and are still investigating, according to Bellevue Marshal Ron Pumphrey.

There is a Go Fund Me account called “Prayers for Elijah” (gofundme.com/3vs1icw) to which people may contribute to help with Lindley’s medical expenses.

S

ilver Creek has been an unbelievable place to fish since opening weekend.

The hatches have continued to build and the fish are happily eating every bug they find.

The Brown Drake hatch has been the event for the past week.

If we experience something similar to last year, anglers can expect to keep seeing nightly occurrences of the Drake through the Willows (Silver Creek West) through at least the weekend, if not longer.

The Brown Drake crowds have been excellent and we want to say thank you to all of you for being so good to each other.

Laughter was heard up and down the river all week, and that’s how it should be!

Moving into June and some hot weather, we can expect the PMD action to increase on the Silver Creek Preserve. The PMD are big! A size 14 or 16 is perfect. The Callibaetis seems to continue as the new “best” hatch on the river. Anglers have been successfully fishing with Callibaetis for weeks. This is normally a mid- to late-summer insect, so to see last year’s trend continue this year is awesome.

Along with these insects, Ants and Beetles continue to produce.

Little Baetis flies come into play on most days. Prairie Caddis and Damselflies are also bringing the fish to the surface. Baby Hoppers have begun to show, and with the high water this year, we should have an incredible Hopper year.

Sullivan’s Slough has been tougher than most early seasons, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take a fish or two off the surface with Callibaetis and Beetles.

Take your time, move slowly and be patient.

We can expect a lot fewer anglers in the coming weeks as we head toward the Fourth of July holiday. It will be a good time to get out and enjoy a little solitude.

Magic Reservoir is fishing well if you just want to try and fish somewhere else besides the Creek. Float-tubing, boating and bank fishing near the dam is the ticket. Try stripping Streamers and large Nymphs slowly, but hold onto the rod tight—those fish can pull hard!

Another option is Anderson Ranch Reservoir for bass fishing along the rocky banks. Most anglers fish Buggers on sink tips or use a heavy Streamer with a long leader.

Be patient with the runoff on local rivers. When the water does finally drop in a month, we are going to see some incredible fishing.

Happy fishing, everyone!

“What do we bark for?”

“Food!”

“When do we bark?”

“Now!” “What do we bark for?”

“Attention!”

“When do we bark?”

“Now!” Sound like the mantra at your house? Truthfully, there is nothing more annoying to neighbors than a dog barking for recreation, or overreacting to people walking by the house, or barking for a plethora of other reasons. I see people with dogs that bark when they are on the phone, or on their computer.

Once a dog learns he gets something from barking, it is incredibly difficult to stop. If the dog wants a cookie and he barks at the cookie jar, and then is given a cookie, it may never stop. You might as well be teaching him to sit.

Every time a dog barks, there is something behind it. Once we discover the reason for that particular bark, it becomes easier to stop.

But, the best course of action is to never acknowledge barking from a puppy and to reward quiet behavior.

If a puppy barks to get out of a crate and you accommodate him, you may never get him back into a crate without a temper tantrum.

Getting out was the reward for barking. Once a puppy barks for food, and you accommodate him, he will almost always bark for food (a treat or dinner). If a puppy is barking for attention and you merely look at him, you have empowered the barking.

At first it can be cute to see a smart puppy telling you what he wants. But, over time, I have never met anyone that truly enjoyed an obsessive barking machine.

Some dogs or puppies are more determined than others when ignoring doesn’t work. This is where stopping becomes very difficult.

It requires finding a consequence that is effective for that dog, but in a fashion that is not abusive or will require “damage control” afterwards. Consequences need to be swift, confident, fair and consistent, after which the dog must also be rewarded for the correct behavior of not barking for him to understand. Many times we forget to reward or we ignore the behaviors we do want. A dog must have both fair consequences and positive reinforcement that is completely consis-

Giselle was one of the most vocal dogs I ever owned. She taught me a lot about how to stop this incredibly annoying behavior.

tent if he will not respond to ignoring for that behavior.

For some dogs it is very easy to replace bad behaviors with good behaviors. Other dogs are quite convinced that if it worked before, it will work again, and the barking will continue, even escalate, without intervention.

You can have a quiet dog. Sometimes it takes a lot of work, other times not so much. Each dog is individual both in the reasons he barks and what he needs to learn to stop barking. But a dog that is quiet and respectful is a joy to live with.

THE SPRIGHTLY YELLOW BELL

I

BY LESLIE REGO

t was a cloudy, almost stormy, day, 52 degrees, and I was up north in one of my most favorite meadows to see what might be blooming. Different types of stems were just beginning to poke through. There were a few blooms here and there.

Exploring a bit more, I chanced upon the lovely yellow bell, or lily, a fritillary. The yellow was bright and beckoning within the greens of the meadow. The Latin name is Fritillaria pudica; “pudica” means modest and refers to the downward-facing petals.

The indelible lily shape rose up out of the dark ground, a startling form and color against the dramatic backdrop of the Boulder Mountains, still heavy with snow. The dark, cloudy skies were also a perfect setting to showcase the delicate flowers.

The flowers were scattered around—sometimes a grouping of several, sometimes only one.

Even though the stem is delicate, they seemed sturdy, surviving— even flourishing—in the cold.

I wondered how cold it got at night if the temperature was in the low 50s in the middle of the afternoon. And yet, the lily appeared sprightly. They seemed so spring-like, even though the weather was not.

The leaves were tall and straight, narrow and slightly tapered. The stem was also

straight, curving just at the very top from the weight of the flower.

Three leaves came together at the bottom portion of the stem, followed by a single leaf farther up the stem.

The flower was composed

of six petals formed into a bell shape, the pistons deep inside.

Sometimes there were two blooms to a stem, but most often only one.

What a lovely gem to find on a cold, cloudy afternoon!

acking your cooler should begin the day before you plan to use it. If your cooler has been sitting in a hot attic or garage, bring it into the house so that you can clean it and let it cool down.

While ice cubes or ice packs can keep your food chilled, blocks of ice are even better.

Make your own by filling clean, empty water bottles or milk cartons with water and freezing them overnight.

To keep food coldest—and safest—load food straight from the fridge into your cooler just before you leave the house, rather than packing it in advance.

Pack items in the reverse order that you are going to use them; that way, foods you eat last will still be cold when you serve them. The only exception is raw meat, poultry and fish.

Because their juices can drip onto other items, load these first so they sit on the bottom of the cooler. Packing these frozen can help keep your cooler frigid even longer.

If you’re serving a crowd, divide large portions of food into smaller servings and pack them in shallow containers to help them chill faster and make serving easier.

While traveling, keep your cooler inside the car rather than

If you’re at the beach, bury the bottom of the cooler in the sand and shade it with an umbrella.

One of the best ways to keep your food safe is to make sure

It’s another fascinating example of how people have shaped our local ecosystems.

Idaho Fish and Game has, for various reasons, stocked plenty of Idaho waters with hatchery-bred tiger trout, both historically and recently. Tiger trout are all supposed to be sterile, which makes them attractive for some stocking programs—after all, if you are stocking a beautiful mountain lake with nonnative (arguably, invasive) fish, then you might as well pick fish that you can hope to keep numerical tabs on. But, there are also stories (fish tales?) of wildborn tiger trout being caught right here in the Big Wood River.

I won’t tell you what we found last week, chasing those rumors and bushwhacking into the middle of nowhere. But, as fishing season ramps up around here, it is worth considering how exactly the fish that you are playing

ur local waterways opened for fishing last week, explaining why (if you were wondering) you suddenly saw a lot of cars and trucks driving around with giant, funny-looking rubber donuts strapped to their roofs. Silver Creek was the destination of choice for many of our local fisherpersons, because springfed water there is running clear (and the Big Wood, clearly, is not). If the fish can’t see your fly (or are too busy trying to survive Courtesy photo the floods), they can’t eat it.

A tiger trout is a hybrid of a brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and a brown trout (Salmo trutta), neither of which is native to anywhere close to Idaho.

How is it that this hybrid came to be swimming in an Idaho lake, so far from its home? Its father was a brook trout, a species that is native to the East Coast of the U.S. and was brought here by fisherpersons so devoted to fishing for brook trout that they trucked them over here in barrels and released them in our Tiger trout.

ewly graduated Wood River High School senior Andrea Palencia derives great satisfaction from helping others.

Next year Palencia will be attending the College of Southern Idaho after carrying a 4.0 grade point average at Wood River. She plans to double major in nursing and culinary arts.

At Wood River, Palencia was a member of the Teen Council, going into the schools offering peer-led sex education seminars, and also works for the Sun Valley Company at the Konditorei restaurant in the Sun Valley Village.

“I really love doing community service and helping others,” Palencia said. “It all started when I was doing Souper Suppers at the Catholic church in Hailey a year ago.”

Suppers are offered for free at the church’s parish hall two nights a week.

“The first time I worked [the Souper Supper], a woman told me that she had just moved to the Valley and she was living in a tent at Hop Porter Park with two little girls because she was rejected for an apartment that she could afford.”

Palencia says this meeting changed her whole perspective on everything.

“I was able to give her some boxes,” said Palencia, “but it was then that I knew that I wanted to focus on helping other people in the community that need help.

“Growing up, my parents provided me with everything that I needed. As a result, I really value my family, the home that I have, and especially the people close to me.”

When she approached her personal project her junior year, she

knew she wanted to do something with Souper Supper.

“I spoke to the people in charge and told them I wanted to do two dinners all by myself,” she said.

“I wasn’t a cook, but learning would be a part of it and I wanted to include Mexican food.”

She then approached Sun Valley chef John Murcko and asked if she could job shadow him for three weekends at the Roundhouse restaurant.

“He couldn’t have been nicer or more willing to help out,” Palencia said. “The first day I spent touring the kitchen and meeting all the staff. The following weekend I learned to cut and prep. I remember cutting kale for hours and peeling hard-boiled eggs. The last weekend they let me take over the making of salads and the dressing of appetizer plates for a whole dinner.”

Palencia asked Murcko to help plan the menus for her dinners and he suggested that she focus on foods that she loved. She also came away with an appreciation of how hard restaurant work is.

“Before, when I went to a restaurant, I would be anxious waiting for the food, but now I know why it takes so long—especially if it’s a table of 8 or 10 people.”

Palencia ended up cooking her two favorite dishes—green enchiladas and chicken legs wrapped in bacon.

“People said it was the best meals they had ever had at the church, which made me really happy. They even left tips!

“I took a lot out of the whole experience. I think I’m a lot more open minded and I realize that people may look alike, but everyone has their own story. I also value my family more and value my close friends and the roof I have over my head.” tws

SPONSORED SYRINGA MOUNTAIN SCHOOL

SYRINGA MOUNTAIN SCHOOL SPRING SHOWCASE

T

he Syringa Mountain School Spring Showcase will be held Wednesday, June 7 at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater at the Community Campus in Hailey.

The entire Blaine County community is invited to the performance that will include singing and flute playing from the first, second, third and fourth graders, with the fifth and sixth graders making up the string orchestra.

The school has been practicing for this showcase since the winter showcase; each class gets between 3-5 hours of music per week divided between the daily rhythm songs and instrument lessons. Younger students learn the pentatonic flute, then the C flute, and by third and fourth grade every student is playing a string instrument, starting with the violin.

According to a press release from the school, “When students are reading music and playing their instruments, all parts of the brain are active, and the act of making music has many positive effects on a child’s self-esteem and sense of place in the world; it literally unifies students and has kids playing together that you may not find together on the playground.”

EVENT FEATURE

Music is an important aspect of the traditional Waldorf curriculum, and it is taught in a subtle progression where the younger students don’t always even know the lesson has begun. As the children get older, they are taught in a way that matches where they are in their development, helping them cross their midlines and grow fine motorskill refinement.

Rudolf Steiner, creator of the Waldorf movement, says, “Music is an act of empowerment, self validation, socialization, and creative expression...”

The music scene at Syringa is changing. Over the last three years, students have practiced their instrument lessons in the center of the building called the Heart Space, where seating and music stands are shuttled daily. This month, construction begins on a private music class space, which will be completed in the fall. This new additional space will help keep the traditional Waldorf values of music alive at the school, and also in the hearts and minds of

Free options for live music found Valley-wide

ith summer right around the corner, several local venues will offer an array of free concerts throughout the coming months. From Bellevue to Ketchum, options abound for a relaxing evening filled with harmonies that ring through the mountains.

The locals’ favorite, Ketch’em Alive, returns this summer with concerts from 7-9 p.m. every Tuesday evening, June 13 through August 8. Located at Forest Service Park in downtown Ketchum, just west of the Limelight Hotel, Ketch’em Alive is full of dancing, music and community vibes. Picnics are encouraged, though vendors with food and drink will be at the park as well.

“New and exciting this year at Ketch’em Alive is the extension of the concert space to include a closed-off Washington Avenue and the backside deck of the new Limelight Hotel,” explained Will Caldwell, producer of Ketch’em Alive and Jazz in the Park. “Multiple food and drink vendors from favorite restaurants will set up on the street.”

Nationally touring bands as well as Idaho natives play a variety of genres throughout the summer. The concert lineup will kick off with the Valley’s own Grateful Dead Tribute Band on June 13.

MEN: CHECK YOUR HEALTH

M

any men only see their doctor when something’s wrong. But your doctor wants to see you when you’re well, so he or she can establish a baseline and catch any problems early.

Every step you take toward better health makes a big difference. That’s why it’s crucial to follow a healthy lifestyle, be aware of any health issues, visit your doctor regularly, and follow these general guidelines about exams and screenings you need to stay on top of your health.

Always talk to your doctor about which tests you need and when, especially if you have a family history of any disease or condition.

General Screening and Exam Guidelines • Full checkup: Yearly • Skin self-exam: Monthly, starting in childhood • Skin clinical exam: Yearly • Testicular self-exam: Monthly, beginning at age 15 • Blood pressure: Every 6 months if your BP is normal, beginning at age 18. If BP is over 120/80, check more often.

• Cholesterol: Every 2 years, after age 35, and annually after age 50.

Begin screening at age 20 if you’re at increased risk for heart disease.

• Blood glucose: Every 3 years, after age 45. Start testing earlier if you have high blood pressure.

• Prostate: Talk to your doctor after age 40.

Screenings include a digital rectal exam and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test.

• Colonoscopy: Every 10 years, after age 50, by a qualified endoscopist, or earlier if you have a family history of colon cancer.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Teachers And School Board To Meet For One More Negotiating Session Representatives from the Blaine County Education Association met with the Blaine County School District Board of Trustees on Thursday, June 1, to try to resolve the current negotiating deadlock. The BCEA negotiating team did reach a tentative settlement with the district on May 17 but the teachers rejected it by 78 percent on May 22. The settlement provided an extra day of bereavement leave, a $90,000 sum to be divvied up as a one-time bonus between teachers and classified personnel, and a continuation of healthcare coverage for all full-time district employees.

The last school day was Friday, June 2. Neither party has set a date for the next negotiating round; it will most likely be sometime during this summer. Idaho law mandates that the teacher ratification vote be held in a public place so that the vote, should there be an agreement, will not take place until the teachers report back to work in late August.

The teachers and the board are at odds over pay increases and health insurance benefits. The district has agreed to absorb the cost increase in insurance premiums but insists that there is no money left for across-the-board pay raises.

“The board of trustees is committed to improving student outcomes, including closing the achievement gap, balancing the budget and maintaining and building a reserve fund,” said Shawn Bennion, chair of the board of trustees. Teachers haven’t had a pay increase in the last two years.

Blaine County Recreation District Seeks Input From Community The Blaine County Recreation District would like to hear from the community about the future of the Blaine County Aquatic Center, one of the BCRD’s key facilities.

Built in 1985, the Aquatic Center is a busy place in the summer.

With nearly 25,000 visits each season, its age has begun to show.

The BCRD has begun the process of envisioning and designing an updated and improved facility.

This past winter the BCRD began the work by remodeling the Aquatic Center building. Moving forward, the BCRD will shift its focus to revitalizing the existing pool and surrounding outdoor space, as well as considering additional aquatic amenities and services. In doing so, they have contracted with the aquatic consultant and design firm, Water Technologies, based in Wisconsin.

Water Technologies will come to Hailey on an information-gathering mission. In conjunction with the visit by Water Technologies, the BCRD will hold a community input session from 5-7 p.m.

Thursday, June 8, in room 211 at the Community Campus in Hailey. For more information or to get involved, contact the BCRD at (208) 578-2273 or info@bcrd.org.
