Lino Tagliapietra at Friesen Gallery BY YANNA LANTZ
L
ino Tagliapietra is globally known as a master glassmaker. Born on the Italian island of Murano, neighboring Venice, Tagliapietra quickly became fascinated with glass and its beauty. Through decades of experimentation and creative play, the artist has created a style that is uniquely his and techniques that have changed glassblowing artistry forever. His newest exhibition, titled “Il Maestro,” will be at Friesen Gallery in Ketchum with an opening reception for Gallery Walk on Feb. 12 from 5-8 p.m. In 1956, while he was in his early 20s, Tagliapietra was awarded the title of Maestro. “The status of Maestro is equivalent to being knighted,” explained gallery owner Andria Friesen. “He was the youngest artist in history to be awarded the title. Now, he has been a Maestro for over 50 years and is making the best work of his life.” Today, there is no one that surpasses Tagliapietra in the glassblowing world. In that world, “Lino” is like Sting, Madonna or Cher; he is known only by his first name. Friesen elaborated: “People think, ‘Oh it’s beautiful, it’s monumental, but how long did it take him to paint it?’ It’s not painted! There is no paint. Then they ask, ‘How is that possible?’ And that’s how and why he is who he is.” The artist’s technical abilities and execution create poetic, ethereal, one-of-a-kind, handmade works of genius. “Glass is a wonderful material,” Tagliapietra states on his website. “Why? Because the glass is alive. Even when it is cool, it is still moving. It is connected with fire, it is connected with water, it is so natural. Glass is my life… I work out my dreams in the glass. This is my way.” Friesen last hosted a Lino Tagliapietra show 16 years ago. The gallery owner remembers

two young men marveling over one of the sculptures and one of them asking the other how it was possible to execute the grooves and other intricacies of the sculpture. The other man, seemingly a Silicon Valley guru, described the software techniques and computer programming used to create the grooves in phenomenal detail. He spoke for about three minutes, and then Friesen went up to the pair and introduced herself. She said, “That was absolutely fascinating. One hundred percent untrue, but fascinating.” Friesen went on to explain that the sculptures were all made by hand. The men could not wrap their brains around the idea.

They could not comprehend that human hands created the beautiful work they saw before them. “Lino is important on so many global levels,” Friesen said. “He has changed the future of glassblowing forever. He is a true artist.” Witness “Il Maestro,” truly one of the most exciting exhibitions the Wood River Valley has seen, at Friesen Gallery through March 5.

Ketchum City Council is considering asking the electorate to approve a $23.1 million general obligation bond to build a new city hall building (this image does not depict what a new city hall may look like).
KETCHUM CONSIDERS NEW CITY HALL
Council wants more expert and public input before making decision BY TERRY SMITH
K
etchum City Council decided at a special meeting Monday evening to seek more expert and public opinion before proceeding further with a proposal to build a new city hall building.

CITY PLEASED WITH 2015 HOLIDAY SQUARE
One-night event seemed to work for most BY MARIA PREKEGES
C
ity of Hailey officials are feeling good about the Holiday Square event that was held this Christmas season on a single night. According to city officials, this year the event was condensed into one night, Dec. 11, 2015, because holding the event on multiple nights, as was done for several years, led to low turnout. The event was also held in conjunction with the “Santa Stroll,” which took place during the day and into the evening. “We thought the event went very well combining it into one night,” said Lisa Horowitz, community development director for the City of Hailey. It was a good way to go for us and the Chamber. We thought the music worked really well. We liked having the raffles on the half hour. We liked the carolers and all the vendors and the food. “It gives us a way to be together as a community and also to celebrate our downtown and support the businesses.” Looking toward next year, Horowitz commented on what might be changed: “We have some ideas and we’re going to bring those to the council in March. The Chamber is going to poll their membership with a couple of ideas, as well.” City Administrator Heather Dawson said holding the Holiday Square in conjunction with the annual Christmas tree lighting also seemed to work well. “The tree lighting draws so many people, and those with children visit Santa,” Dawson said. “Over the past three years, we’ve noticed that Holiday Square activities on days other than the tree lighting draw a smaller crowd of people interested in the carolers and the Chamber’s raffle drawing. The goal of the Holiday Square is to facilitate a lively presence in Hailey’s wonderfully lit downtown.” Hailey Chamber of Commerce representative

The Holiday Square in Hailey for the Christmas holidays was held on Carbonate Street just west of its intersection with Main Street.
Jeff Bacon noted that the turnout was good, even though it “was a bit cold.” “It’s always fun to see the community come out for these types of events,” Bacon said. “Everyone was in good spirits and festive. I love all the lights up and down Main Street in Hailey. What a great holiday tradition.” The event was held on Carbonate Street near the Sturtos Hailey sports shop. “Everybody was great about it,” said Sturtos owner Jeff Davis. “I was definitely happy with the location. It’s been in about six different areas the past few years.” Davis also talked about what could be done to improve the night: “I think one thing is adding lighting, especially with the vendors. It got dark so fast that maybe we could start a little earlier next year and make it an all-day event, or add more lights. It was a great turnout, though, and business was steady all night.” tws

Jeffrey Marsalis seeking acquittal or new trial BY TERRY SMITH
J
effrey J. Marsalis, originally from the Carey area, is currently serving a 10.521-year prison sentence at the State Correctional Institution in Marienville, Penn., for conviction in Philadelphia in 2007 of two counts of sexual assault and one count of unlawful restraint. When Marsalis, now 42, satisfies that sentence, or is placed on parole, he will be transferred to Idaho to serve a 15-year-to-life sentence for Jeffrey Marsalis raping a woman in Sun Valley in 2005.

SCHOOL BOARD CONSIDERS BEFORE-LABOR DAY SCHOOL START
The Blaine County School District Board of Trustees is considering starting school next year before the Labor Day weekend, rather than after, as has been the case for the past several years. A calendar for the 2016-2017 school year is scheduled for discussion and possible action at the board’s next regular monthly meeting on Feb. 9. The district reported in a press release issued Jan. 20 that a calendar committee has completed two options for next year’s school calendar, both with start dates before Labor Day. “Attendance data showed that whether school started before Labor Day or after Labor Day, there was not a significant statistical difference in attendance,” the district reported. “Starting before Labor Day helps schools increase learning time before testing, helps secondary schools align with other school events in the region and allows for an earlier release in June.” The district encourages staff, parents and community members to review the proposed calendars and email the board of trustees with input. Trustee email addresses can be found at www. blaineschools.org under the “Board of Trustees” tab. To view the proposed calendars, visit the website and go to the “Proposed School Calendars” headline in the news section on the home page.
ADVOCATES LOOKING FOR NEW VOLUNTEERS
The Advocates for Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault will host two open houses on Monday, Feb. 1, to recruit new volunteers. Both open houses will be held in the Bullion Room at the Community Campus on Fox Acres Road in Hailey. The first open house starts at 12 p.m. while the second starts at 5 p.m. “At our open houses, we will share first-hand experiences from current volunteers and the tremendous impact volunteers have on our community, particularly the work we do at The Advocates, teaching people to build safe lives,” said Jill Iris, volunteer program manager. “We will have an ongoing slide show, volunteer applications and opportunities and light snacks. And please bring a friend.” The Advocates reported in a press release that each year more than 150 people volunteer to the nonprofit organization and donate more than 3,000 hours. Volunteer duties range from a few hours helping with mailings, pulling together food boxes or weekly help covering the shelter phones and assisting clients and the public during staff meetings. Volunteers also help with events, child care and teach English and yoga classes. For more information and to RSVP, contact Iris at 208.788.4182, ext. 23, or at jill@theadvocatesorg.org.

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR januaRy 27 FRom picabo angleR
A
few weeks of up-anddown fishing now look like they are going to continue as long as the weather continues to switch between high- and low-pressure systems. We are getting small fronts once a week and that pattern will continue this week. If your time on the water is limited, it’s time to start watching the forecast intently. Continue to look for that day-after change. Once the pressure switches, give it 24 hours and go. This is always subject to change, as any “bright” day may be fabulous while a “perfect” cloudy day can be a disaster. The only way to know is go! Silver Creek is open to catchand-release fishing downstream of Highway 20 until the end of February. The fishing has been better upstream as water clarity is slightly better. Having a little tint to the water is a good thing when Streamer fishing, but too much can make your efforts fruitless. On the days when we are near the freezing mark, the water closer to Picabo has been very off-color. The water near Point of Rocks seems about right for tinting and the water nearer the Willows is also about right. If you go, don’t be discouraged by some slow hours or a slow day because when the Creek is “on” in the winter, it can be a big-fish bonanza. The Big Wood River continues to fish well and boggle the mind with true winter beauty. The freshening snowfalls create a surreal backdrop and show how recently and how far previous anglers have traveled up or down the river. Throw in a mix of river otters, bald eagles, deer elk, moose, coyotes and quietude and catching a bunch of fish fades into the background of the winter river experience. On all our area rivers, the usual suspects are in play this week; Zebra Midges, Brassies, Hare’s Ears, Buggers, Griffith’s Gnats and Tie-Down Midges are all one needs in the fly box. Head out with some forceps, nippers, strike indicators and tippet in your pocket, dress warm and hike far! Climb into some canyons, get your canoe out, bust out the snowshoes and a big bottle of water. Make sure you fish with a friend. Finally – some words concerning safety: I have seen the canyon below the River Run bridge avalanche into the Big Wood in big snow years. We’re getting to that point where avoiding that quarter-mile of water may be wise. Happy fishing, everyone!

HOW TO PLAY APPROPRIATELY WITH A PUPPY BY FRAN JEWELL
M
ost of us are so enamored with a new puppy that we get on the floor, roll around, roughhouse and cuddle, among a myriad of other things when trying to bond with our new family member. What is critical to remember is that what we teach our dog as a puppy is what they will do when they mature. I hear excuses all the time that the mouthing and biting is “soft,” and just because it is a puppy, “It’s okay.” NO! It is NOT! I don’t care what breed of dog it is, puppies that mouth, or are encouraged to bite during play, WILL be disrespectful of you and others as they mature. This is how puppies play with each other. It is vital that your puppy not see you as another puppy. It also teaches a puppy that this is how to deal with frustration, or even fear. Essentially, this is setting the dog up for failure. A dog that learns that mouthing or biting is okay in puppyhood WILL do this later on. Biting is always a problem for families with children. One of the easiest ways to mitigate biting is to give the dog appropriate things to chew instead and never roughhouse for
playtime. It is also helpful to use food-dispensing toys for meals; it helps direct the puppy to use its mouth on objects, not people. Playtime should include things like throwing a ball or hiding treats for the puppy to find. The second thing that is critical with puppies is height. The closer you are to a puppy’s face, the more likely you are to get bitten – in the face! More children are bitten in the face by dogs than any other place because they are at the dog’s level. So, even if we adults lie on the floor with a puppy, the puppy learns very fast that you are ON ITS LEVEL and this encourages disrespect. Think about this further. Do you wonder why puppies jump on you? It’s not attention seeking, as many people would believe. It’s to be on the same level with your face, like another puppy. This includes things like going up the stairs. You should go first. A puppy that sleeps in bed with you does not see you as its leader; it sees you as another puppy because you are on the same level. We love the cuddling in bed, but this can come later once your puppy is trained and you have earned its respect. Puppies should learn to sleep on the floor in a crate until they have earned

Once a puppy learns a “leave it” command, putting a toy on a string can be a great way to play without letting the dog bite your hands, or the hands of a child. But, the human should always win the toy back.
the PRIVILEGE to sleep on any furniture. In short, getting down on the floor and roughhousing with a puppy actually encourages the dog to disrespect you, which also relates to the dog not coming to you or paying attention to you as it matures. It encourages a puppy to use its mouth to deal with frustration or even fear. Build respect with your puppy when it
is a puppy, not later, when your adult dog has behavior problems much harder to change.

SNOW-LADEN FENCES
BY LESLIE REGO
G
enerally, a fence line is exactly that: a line. But, in the winter, the line of the fence becomes continually interrupted by clumps of snow, obliterating entire portions or reinventing sections of the fence. The railings run in and out of the white layers, at times disappearing into a snowdrift. Other times the fence becomes one huge unit of melded snow connecting the lower railings to the top ones, with little holes of open space poking out. The heights of the posts embedded into the ground change with the amount of snow collected on top of the post. Some pilings might have just a gentle dusting clinging to them; others, a huge buildup. Sometimes the snow is over a foot high, making the post loom over the rest of the fence. The white flakes cling in odd forms to the side of the post, shifting the cylindrical shape to one of amorphous imaginings. During the winter, it seems that many forms take on new life. Winter becomes a time for giant leaps of imagination. We can see new shapes in well-known old items. A fence, which we have walked by for many years, after a snowstorm can morph into a completely new being. Unusual snow shapes clinging to the sides of familiar forms are a gold mine for keeping the mind fresh with inventive ideas. On your next outdoor adventure see what you can create out of the seemingly ordinary. Leslie Rego is an artist and Blaine County resident.

LAUGHTER AS…
BY JOELLEN COLLINS
A
ll the clichés of how important are laughter and a sense of humor, I have learned, apply in most situations in life. Even as I sang in the choir for two celebrations of life this past week, I took some solace in both of the ceremonies’ acknowledgement of the importance of a sense of humor in and around each of the deceased’s life and passing. I have often kidded about laughing all the way to my last second; oh how wonderful that might be! In experiencing the sadness of these passings and yet the knowledge that, of course, we also all experience loss and grief, I was comforted by that thought. What if I could really acquire the kind of sense of humor that takes me even to the bitter end. As I look back on my dearest friends and on my most delicious experiences, I realize that most of them have exhibited a sense of humor. Indeed (and this outcome is doubtful), if I ever were to be with a spouse again, it would only be because of his sense of humor. I really don’t care about a list involving money or prestige, though political differences might intrude, but the ability to laugh at the foibles around us would be the ultimate accolade and reason for me to spend more time with him in the diminishing years ahead. A very personal aside may be off-putting to many, but as an honest older lady, I have to relate this: I had a very important relationship that was about to fizzle, and, both contemplating its demise, we were listening to a radio jazz show in Switzerland, and, to a mutual burst of giggles, at the same time started singing some apropos lyrics Ella was intoning from the “American Songbook.” We both laughed... not only at our folly but at the

recognition that we could somehow distance from it enough even to laugh at the irony of its lyrics. The sad thing was that, of course, this represented to me that I would have a hard time finding again such a soul connection with another lover. I survived even that major disappointment, but I still can NEVER miss a chance to laugh at anything, even if it references a sad time. I still remember my father laughing (for me, embarrassingly) at slapstick when we would go to the movie theater in Burbank to see Laurel and Hardy or Abbott and Costello. I didn’t find that kind of humor as funny as he did. I identified more in the vision of prisoners in a chain gang shuffling together to the bathroom Courtesy photo in Woody Allen’s JoEllen Collins—a longtime “Take the Money resident of the Wood River and Run.” Valley—is a teacher, writer, Last week I spent fabric artist, choir member morning minutes and unabashedly proud roaring at the den- grandma known as “Bibi Jo.” tist skit between Harvey Korman and Tim Conway on the Carol Burnett Show (recreated for this Facebook devotee), a reminder about how good it is to laugh, even toward some air in the room above a computer.

‘JOY’
The power of perseverance BY JONATHAN KANE

avid O. Russell has done it again with his new movie “Joy” based on the story of Joy Mangano who overcame incredible odds to create the Miracle Mop in the late 1990s and to become a multimillionaire. The critics have been lukewarm so far, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Part of that is probably because I’m such a big fan of Russell. With “The Fighter,” “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle” preceding “Joy,” Russell is on a role, perhaps only seen previously from Preston Sturges, the filmmaker that he resembles greatly. It is also his third film in a row, smartly, with the luminous Jennifer Lawrence, who once again lights up the screen. The story is one of rags to riches and overcoming huge odds, in this case complicated by Lawrence’s insane family. There are enough twists and turns for
a Grand Prix race as Lawrence overcomes one obstacle after another to finally land a spot on QVC and seemingly hit the jackpot, until things crumble again. Then there is the family. Dad – played by an invigorated Robert De Niro – lives in the basement with Lawrence’s ex-husband and, although he has the best intentions, he can also be a powerfully negative force in cahoots with Lawrence’s incredibly negative sister, who has her own invention to sell. Rounding things out is Diane Ladd as the grandmother, who believes fully in her, and Virginia Madsen as her mother, who has escaped from life and watches soaps all day long. At QVC Lawrence meets Bradley Cooper as the boss of the fledgling network and romance is teased but never fulfilled. As in every Russell film, the performances are outstanding and the script, co-written by Russell, is near perfect. Yes, there are

clarification
A story titled “Hailey Man Supports Standoff With Feds” in the Jan. 20 issue of The Weekly Sun unclearly expressed “3% of Idaho’s” position regarding the current standoff in Burns, Ore. “We don’t want to see a standoff with the FBI,” 3% of Idaho Vice President Eric Parker told The Weekly Sun after the story was published. “We don’t want to see anybody get hurt. We do agree with the sentiments of those occupying the preserve, but not their current methods. We’ve been in Burns for the past three weeks working on a peaceful resolution for all parties involved.”
CORRECTION
The Weekly Sun incorrectly reported in the Jan. 20 edition in a story titled “Illegal recording investigation called off” the date that the Hailey Police Department announced that, because of a conflict of interest, it would not be conducting an investigation into an allegation that an Oct. 29, 2015 meeting involving Blaine County School District officials was illegally recorded. The police department announcement came on Jan 5.

JESSE COLE
Accomplished writer and soccer player BY JONATHAN KANE

ood River High School junior Jesse Cole is an accomplished writer and soccer player—the two loves in her life. Carrying a 4.5 grade point average, Cole is also vice president of National Honor Society and was named District IV All Conference Player of the Year the last two years. In December 2015, Cole was named All State 4A Player of the Year. Cole has also excelled academically and has taken Advanced Placement U.S. History, Language and Composition, Calculus, Spanish, Psychology and Literature. Her favorite subject is English, as she is an avid reader and aspiring writer. “Wood River is a great public school,” Cole said. “It offers so many rigorous classes that prepare people for college and after college. The teachers are also great and you are able to get really close with them. They are always giving you time and they are involved with the students and know their subjects extremely well.” Currently, Cole is putting extra effort into A.P. Literature. “I really want to become a writer,” she said. “That’s the plan. There have always been books in my house and I love reading.” Cole started writing in fifth grade. “It was mainly oriented toward poetry and playwriting,” she said. “I really enjoy reading plays because they merge things together, just using dialogue.” Cole reads and immerses herself in a lot of genres. “I love classical literature,” she said. “I think it started when I
was young and my mother gave me ‘Gone With The Wind.’ Other favorite books include ‘Vanity Fair’ and ‘Great Expectations.’” Beginning in ninth grade, Cole started an independent study program in literature. “Pretty much we focus on what I want to read,” she said. “Mrs. [Kari] Haugen approached me about doing more work in writing and literature. She let me pick the era and the genre.” Cole said her favorite books are British Victorian novels. “I get to read novels, discuss them with the teacher and then write critical essays on what I’ve read. It’s so great to have a book partner to discuss characters and themes with. Next year I plan to add Russian literature. “These are all books that I’ve wanted to read but didn’t have the time,” she said. “What I’ve taken out of these novels is that the human condition can have a thrilling aspect, as well. These intrinsic human qualities are still the same even though these books were written a long time ago.” Cole also excels in soccer, where she plays for the Wolverines and travels to Boise to compete with the club team, the Boise Nationals, in the U17 class. For Wood River, she has scored 89 goals in three seasons. “In team sports, you are merging your personal interest with the interest of the team,” she said. “It makes it special. You learn a lot about leadership and interdependence and it all comes together in soccer.” tws

he Hailey Chamber of Commerce will present a special recognition to Friedman Memorial Airport at its annual dinner and community awards event, Thursday, Feb. 4. The recognition is in regards to the airport’s longstanding commitment to Valley businesses and its completion of a recent $36 million modernization project that will ensure the Valley maintains commercial air service for many years to come. “Our annual dinner and community awards is a chance for us to recognize businesses or individuals that have made a significant and positive impact on our community,” says Chamber board president Richard Stahl. “The efforts of the airport board and staff have been instrumental in continuing to ensure our tourist-based economy has access to a large number of visitors, and visitors equals dollars being brought to our Valley.” The airport’s recent modernization project added new terminal space and brought the runway and taxiways into compliance with recent runway safety standards required by the Federal Aviation Administration. “It’s been a long process, to be sure, but our airport board did a great job in making sure this airport was ready when Congress’s unmovable deadline for these safety policies took effect,” said airport manager Rick Baird. “Friedman Memorial Airport is a safe and efficient airport thanks to the efforts of many people, and the airport board should be commended. The decision to make these improvements opened the door to Sun Val-

he Banff Mountain Film Festival is back in Sun Valley for three days of diverse mountain culture movies. The festival runs Friday, Jan. 29 through Sunday, Jan. 31 at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. Doors open at 6 p.m. and films start at 7 p.m. Banff is an inspiring international film competition that features the world’s best footage on mountain subjects. The original festival began in 1976 and is held annually on the first weekend in November in Banff, Alberta. Banff began an outreach program in 1986 to bring the mountain film festival to communities across the continent. “Banff’s festival organizers wanted to share the efforts and talents of the world’s finest mountain filmmakers with a larger audience,” states the organization’s website. “The World Tour provides a first-class film experience, in a local venue for those who cannot make the annual trek to the Canadian Rockies that now tour to hundreds of cities worldwide.” This year’s festival in Sun Valley is presented in conjunction with the Friends of the Sawtooth National Forest Avalanche Center (SNFAC) and marks the 16th year Banff has come to the Wood River Valley. Twenty-six films will be shown over three nights, providing a full lineup of mountain life adventures, travel tales and human-interest stories. Standouts in the lineup include the story of 2015 National

The Alturas Elementary art exhibit celebrates Ketchum’s historic heritage and is titled “Ketchum’s Historic Buildings.” The entire fourth grade of Alturas Elementary School, in Woodside, Hailey, took a field trip to Ketchum to look at 17 historic buildings and then went back to the classroom and each student chose a building to depict. Sixty-eight students participated in the project under the instruction of art teacher Ms. Joni Cashman. The Community Library will host a public reception and an Art Party for the young artists and their families on Jan. 27 in The Children’s Library. The community is invited to stop by and celebrate the wonderful artwork showcased at the library. Each print is titled and signed by the young artist and is available to purchase. For details contact Mary Tyson, mtyson@comlib.org or 208.726.3493 ext. 112.

Y THANK YOU, JOEL SALATIN! Next week, local food movement hero, prolific author and evocative speaker Joel Salatin, lauded for his chemical-free farming methods and engaging talks on the perils of our industrialized food system, will land in Ketchum for a FREE community talk at nexStage Theatre. What brings this champion of small farms and local food systems to our Valley? The Wood River YMCA and PECO Foundation get credit for paying it forward. Last summer the Wood River Y completed a solar-powered greenhouse for its members, kids, and the community at large to experience the joy and value of simply ‘growing things.’ Officially named Bonni’s Garden & Learning Lab, it was funded by community members in honor of the late Bonni Curran, a beloved Ketchum resident. The Y and Bonni’s family via the PECO Foundation wished to thank the donors who made the project possible through an educational and inspirational offering – enter Joel Salatin. Author of nine books, Salatin describes his occupation as “mob-stocking herbivorous solar conversion lignified carbon sequestration fertilization.” No ordinary farmer. As an author, however, Salatin’s vernacular is more straightforward, be it a “howto” publication for farmers, or a powerfully persuasive plea to opt out of the modern, global food system.

book, “Folks, This Just Ain’t Normal,” addresses the ludicrousness of how far away we have strayed from what is good for us. With a healthy and defiant sense of humor, he implores us to focus upon things like quality family time and environmental respect. In addition to managing his 550-acre, third-generation “Polyface” farm in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Farmer Joel tours the country speaking knowledgably, critically, and humorously about everything from “creating the farm your children will want” to “making a white-collar salary from a pleasant life in the country.” Don’t miss his energetic and persuasive voice on WEDNESDAY, FEB. 3, at nexStage Theatre – doors open at 6 p.m.!

column The Advocates’ ETC
SPREADING THE MESSAGE OF POSITIVE INFLUENCE BY THE ETCS
O
ne of my favorite things to do as an ETC [Every Teen has a Choice] teen intern for The Advocates is to spread my knowledge to younger kids in our community. One of the best ways for me to do that is talking to sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders at Wood River Middle School. In my six months of being an ETC, I have had the privilege of taking part in these presentations three times. Two weeks ago, five other ETCs and I talked to a group of seventh-graders about the Green Dot program. The Green Dot program is built on the premise that violence can be measurably and systematically reduced within any given community. This group of kids was unique because they all chose to do community service out of a list of activities they could do for two days. The students decided to adapt a Wow project with The Advocates as part of their community service. Wow-students is an organization that strives to create generosity experiences for all classrooms in the Wood River Valley. To accomplish this goal, students and teachers choose a nonprofit organization to support financially and with service time. As part of our Wow project, we engaged the 35 seventh-grade students in a workshop. We talked about the different types of bullying, who has the most power to
stop bullying, and the different bystander strategies. The overall goal of the workshop was to show the kids that they could actually make a difference, and give them the necessary tools to be able to recognize bullying behavior and be ready for when they have the opportunity to stop a potentially harmful situation. To fulfill their Wow project and help The Advocates, we had the kids plan a Green Dot awareness week at the middle school. To spread the word about Green Dot, the kids came up with many ideas, including: making posters, a social media challenge, and a video to put on the school news. After talking to the younger group, I had the same feeling as always: my hope is to make a difference, no matter how small. It would be awesome if one more kid decided, as a bystander, that they were going to stand up and do something when they saw any sort of bullying. Every action matters, and I believe that we as ETCs are making the middle school, and the entire community, a better place.
