Mountain Rides Transportation Authority has plans to increase ridership by 50 percent over the next five years.
MOUNTAIN RIDES HAS BIG PLANS Ketchum hub still on the table, ridership to increase by 50 percent
T
BY TERRY SMITH
he staff at Mountain Rides Transportation Authority has completed a draft Five-Year Plan for 2016-2020 that states a hub facility in Ketchum remains on the organization’s wish list. Mountain Rides over the next five years also intends to increase ridership by 50 percent, beef up its existing bus service to eliminate service gaps and extend bus service to Galena Lodge and to the Magic Valley. The draft plan is still subject to review, comment and possible change by the organization’s eight-member board of directors, and by the organization’s funding partners, but the wheels were set in motion today with delivery of the draft plan to the organization’s board. According to the draft plan, building a bus hub, or transportation center in Ketchum is “still critical” for long-term success of the organization. After three years of planning, an earlier hub plan, intended to be built on either side of the intersection of Sun Valley Road and East Avenue, was scrubbed in 2015 because the final bid cost came to more money than Mountain Rides had available. According to the draft plan: “The original location for the transportation center at the Visitor Center and Elephant’s Perch will still see bus stop upgrades, but a complete transportation center will likely need to move to a different location in town and be part of a bigger picture that could possibly include city parking, housing, retail and development. “With new hotels being built or planned, it may make more sense to locate the project closer to these developments.” Mountain Rides acknowl-
edges in the draft plan that significant funding, mainly in the form of federal grant dollars and matching funds, would be required to build the hub. Ridership is also addressed in the draft plan. Currently coming in at about 500,000 rides per year, Mountain Rides envisions growing to 750,000 rides annually by 2050. Mountain Rides
According to the draft plan, building a bus hub, or transportation center in Ketchum, is “still critical” for long-term success of the organization.
intends to reach for that mark by dedicating more resources to advertising and marketing, building more business support for bus ridership, upgrading its bus fleet and expanding service, including eliminating midday service gaps, and increasing the frequency of bus service on existing routes. Looking north, Mountain Rides has already “started a conversation” with the Sawtooth National Recreation Center, the Blaine County Recreation District, U.S. Forest Service and Blaine County about the possibility of providing bus service between Sun Valley and Ketchum to the North Valley Trails at the SNRA, Baker Creek, Prairie Creek and Galena Lodge. “The need for this service has developed out of increased demand and limited parking in this Highway 75 corridor stretching 25 miles north of Ketchum,” the draft plan states. The plan further says that funding would be reliant on the organizations that would benefit from the service. A pilot service to shuttle Nor-
dic skiers to the North Valley Trails is being discussed for implementation as early as the 2016-17 ski season. Looking south, Mountain Rides anticipates in the draft plan that its current van commuter service, that provides transportation for workers between the Magic and Wood River valleys, is not expected to grow. Instead, the draft plan states that a “Mountain Rides goal is to establish regular bus service to Twin Falls that could supplant much of the existing vanpool demand.” Mountain Rides was in the planning process several years ago to provide bus service between the Twin Falls area and the Wood River Valley but the plan was abandoned because of a sluggish economy. Recently, however, the draft plan states that with the economy improving, Mountain Rides is again seeing the need for possible regular bus service to Twin Falls. Other changes considered for the future are gradual conversion to electric buses, express routes to Friedman Memorial Airport and commuter van service to the Fairfield and Carey areas. Currently, in the KetchumSun Valley area, Mountain Rides provides free year-round bus service on its Blue and Green Routes and free seasonal service on its Red, Silver and Bronze Routes. The paid-fare Valley Route provides service between the north and south Wood River Valley and the Hailey Route provides paid service in that city. In addition to its commuter van services, Mountain Rides maintains bicycle and pedestrian programs with the intent of building healthy lifestyles and reducing the use of carbon-based motor vehicles. tws

APRÈS-SKI WITH ARTIST RAINER GROSS Special Gallery Reception This Friday BY MARIA PREKEGES
F
rederic Boloix Fine Arts will be hosting a special wine and cheese reception this Friday, Feb. 19, from 4-6:30 p.m. The reception is an opportunity to meet the world-celebrated German artist Rainer Gross and see many of his latest works. Gross will be on hand to talk about his most recent works, his storied history in the art world and his creation of a special art process called contact paintings. This is the second time that Gross has shown in Frederic Boloix Fine Arts gallery. Boloix and Gross met years ago, through family connections, and have remained friends and business associates ever since. Combined with the fact that Gross has visited Sun Valley for the past 20 years, and loves the area, their friendship is a special one. “I love this town and everything about it,” Gross said in an interview. “It’s nice and remote, beautiful in the summer, with lots of trails. I love the symphony, jazz and literary festivals. I hike and bike in the summer and ski in the winter. My daughter even learned how to ski here over 20 years ago.” It is a great fit for both Boloix and Gross, and for the Valley. It creates a unique opportunity to not only view the latest works from Gross, but to get to know this very special artist. “He’s a fascinating man with a lot of varied interests and great influences in his life. He’s easy to talk to so I think people will really enjoy the evening,” Boloix said about his friend in an interview. “He’s a very cultured man in surprising ways. He has that aspect where he’s just a very interesting man. He’s been a rock musician in a rock band who writes his own songs and performs and records them. The fact that he grew up in Cologne, Germany, after the war and now has lived in New York for many years just adds to his personality.” In the interview with Gross,

the artist also spoke about what people can expect at the special reception. “The artwork that people will view is a new series of paintings that are abstract in nature,” he said. “Part of a monotype process. It’s a process I developed and, simply stated, I started layering things on canvas and started pressing them together and coming up with these unusual process works that no one had actually done before. I thought I could develop this and see where it takes me. It’s a process that’s developed over that past 20-plus years.” Gross looks forward to his stay here in the Wood River Valley. “I’ll be here for a week, get some inspiration for some new work, and be in the outdoors,” he said. “For the reception, I’m looking to be able to talk to people and meet people and answer any questions and engage them with the work.” Boloix added, “I think the selection of paintings I have will give people a great glimpse of this amazing artist. People will get a very good cross section of what he’s been about for the last 12 to 15 years.” The special reception is open to the public. Frederic Boloix Fine Arts is located at 351 Leadville Avenue North in Ketchum in the atrium of The Galleria Building on the corner of Leadville and Fourth. tws

NEWS BRIEF
ALLIANCE REPORTS $115 MILLION IMPACT FROM AIR TRAVEL Fly Sun Valley Alliance reported on Feb. 10 that air service to Friedman Memorial Airport in Hailey brought approximately $115 million in economic impact to the Wood River Valley in 2015. The Alliance, a non-profit organization that supports air travel to Blaine County, further reported that “commercial passenger enplanements” at Friedman were up 3 percent in 2015 over the previous year. According to an Alliance survey, 19 percent of the travelers this year to Friedman were new visitors, 44 percent were repeat visitors, 16 percent were part-time residents and 21 percent were local full-time residents. The Alliance reported that 2015 continued a trend of increased passengers. For the period of 2013-2015, enplanements were up 33 percent. Further, because of increased flights, seat capacity was up 19 percent from 2013-2015. “This data shows clearly that our community air service development plan is working,” said Eric Seder, president of the board of Fly Sun Valley Alliance. “Along with our key partners—the Sun Valley Air Service Board, Sun Valley Resort, Friedman Memorial Airport, Visit Sun Valley, Realtors for Air and Sun Valley Economic Development—we are seeing the results of our collective efforts to grow, not only through more air passengers, more new visitors and more direct economic spending, but also through significant investment in our tourism.”

FOUNDATION HOSTS WEALTH & ESTATE FORUM Presentation to focus on economic planning for women
BY MARIA PREKEGES
S
aint Luke’s Wood River Foundation will host a special presentation and luncheon for women who want to learn more about estate planning and protecting their assets on Tuesday, Feb. 23 at The Valley Club main clubhouse, north of Hailey. Attendance is free of charge and the guest speaker will be Johni Hays, who is a senior vice president with Thompson & Associates, of Brentwood, Tenn. Hays is a national estate and charitable planning expert. Her presentation will focus on seven tips that can economically empower women, helping them protect themselves and their family. According to the Foundation, the organization determined there was a need for the talk because “over 70 percent of Americans do not have a valid will, and statistics show women live longer than men; consequently, many women find themselves in the dark regarding financial matters.” “In many situations where a will has been drafted, over 80 percent in this group cannot verbalize what their current plan is designed to accomplish,” said Megan Thomas, the Foundation’s chief development officer. “The passing of a loved one is an emotional time that can be filled with uncertainty and fear for those left behind. Knowledge and planning for the future can lessen the stress surrounding financial matters and protect hard-earned assets and, more importantly, loved ones.” The Foundation reported that Hays is well qualified for the presentation because she has been engaged in the practice of law with an emphasis on charitable and estate planning since 1993. “Johni Hays is a national presence in the field of retirement and estate planning,” Thomas said. “With almost 20 years as a practicing attorney in charitable and estate planning, Hays is a recognized expert and in demand nationally as a lecturer on the subject.

According to the library, the funding will be used to purchase a “new reference/technology designed to offer one-on-one service to library patrons seeking technical aid and readers’ advisory assistance.” “The funding moves us one step closer to providing our library users with more personalized service, both in technology and reference support,” said LeAnn Gelskey, director of Hailey Public Library. “Patrons can now meet with a knowledgeable staff member to inquire about any number of things, from learning how to download one of our ebooks to finding a new author in our collection.” The Fraser Fund grant was provided to the library through the Idaho Community Foundation. “We are so proud to be able to provide support to the Hailey Public Library and the hundreds of other Idaho nonprofits that receive ICF grants each year,” said Jennifer Oxley, Idaho Community Foundation chief communication and marketing officer. “The Fraser Fund is very special because it has actually given away more in grant monies that what was in the fund when the Frasers established it. That’s the power of endowment, and we love seeing it work throughout the state.”

here are only a few weeks left to get out and fish Silver Creek during the winter season. Unlike our other area waters, the portion of Silver Creek downstream of Highway 20 that is currently open to catchand-release fishing only will close at the end of February. The Creek will remain closed until the statewide opener on the last Saturday in May. If you head to the Creek, plan on Streamer fishing, unless a very warm day gets the Midges hatching enough to get the fish rising. This is a rare event on the Creek in the winter, but it does happen in certain years when things warm up enough to replicate March weather. Your fly box for the Creek should include weighted and non-weighted Streamers. Fishing the non-weighted Streamer can be a rush, as you can almost always watch the fishes’ wake and see them break on the fly, chase it down and then swirl when they eat it! Seeing it one time is enough to bring you back to the Creek in the wintertime over and over again. If you are lucky enough to see the river on a dry-fly afternoon, the same Midge dries you fish on the Big Wood all winter will also work on the Creek. Think TieDown Midges, Griffith’s Gnats or any of your favorite Trailing Shuck patterns. Fish the Creek like you would a steelhead river; start upstream and work your way down. Cast and retrieve once or twice through “fishy” water and then take a step or two downstream and repeat. This is a game of patience and attrition, so stay focused. Assume every retrieve is THE ONE! If you know the hand-twist retrieve, fishing Streamers on the Creek is the time to use it. If you don’t know this old triedand-true fishing technique, learn it. The hand-twist retrieve, when used with Streamers and Mouse patterns, will increase your catch rate significantly. It puts the perfect motion in the tail of a Streamer and it “skitters” a mouse like a mouse really swims. The hand-twist retrieve will also keep you in constant contact with the fly, so when a fish hits, you are ready! This is a wonderful time of year on the Creek and near Picabo. Don’t hesitate to come on in and load up on flies, or just come in and get warm while you enjoy a hot lunch by the fire. Happy fishing, everyone!

ust what is anthropomorphism? It is humanizing dogs. The media and pet suppliers, the dog training community and dog care specialists have begun to refer to dogs as “fur babies” or “fur children.” Not a day goes by that we don’t see dogs in clothes that make them look like little children. I posted a photo on the Positive Puppy FaceBook page that had a Weimaraner with painted toenails and a bracelet on her leg. A Weimaraner is a hunting dog with huge energy and the need to run and hunt. In order to paint her nails, her “guardians” had allowed the nails to grow especially long. As a result, this dog will end up with health issues with her feet that could result in pain the rest of her life and render her unable to run. For what purpose? So her “guardians” can enjoy their dog looking like a human “princess.” Anthropomorphism is incredibly dangerous, not only to a dog’s physical health but also to their mental health. Many of the aggression and severe separation anxiety cases I work with are a result of dogs being treated like fur babies, or beings that have feelings like people, without any rules or structure. I love my dogs as much if not more than anyone on the
planet, but I love them enough to respect that they are dogs and of a different species. I LOVE that they are dogs, NOT humans. I am not here to argue that dogs don’t have feelings. They do, but they do not have feelings the way we humans do and they do not respond the way we humans do to certain situations. So, how do we honor our dogs? First, we do some research to find out what our dog was bred to do. Even mixed-breed dogs have an innate purpose. Humans originally selected wolves that were the most social and trainable in order to help primitive man with survival. Over time, humans domesticated those wolves into dogs. Dogs were originally intended to help herd livestock, hunt – in order to help humans find food – pull carts, protect families, kill vermin in the barn, and yes, even be our companions. But dogs did not lose their day jobs to sit at home and sleep on the back of the sofa. Our first job should be to understand the ancestry of our dogs, which will help us to understand who they are today. In many ways, dogs have taken the place of human companions. Nowadays, our families may live across the country instead of across town. Even in high-rise apartments, many of us don’t know our neighbors anymore. A huge part of the time, once we get to know our neighbor, they move

away to take a job in Alaska or India. We look for those warm fuzzy dogs to assuage our loneliness, and put enormous pressure on our beloved dog to be only a companion instead of a dog intended to work to help people. How many times have you heard that a dog loves to obey? What we as humans perceive as work is usually FUN for a dog and helps the dog maintain a healthy body and mind. Dogs LOVE direction and are mental-
ly and physically healthier when they are given direction. Honor your dog for what it truly is and you will see amazing things in your relationship with it.

THE CROW AND THE VOLE
BY LESLIE REGO
I
saw an amazing sight driving south on Highway 75 after a cross-country ski outing. At first I thought that what I was witnessing was a crow chasing a leaf across the highway about 100 feet in front of me. But the crow pounced on the “leaf” and it stopped swirling. After the crow pecked a few times, the “leaf” took off again and the crow pounced once more. This happened in a matter of a few seconds and I remembered thinking, ‘What an odd dance between a crow and a leaf.” And then I thought, “If that bird does not quit playing with the leaf very soon, he is going to have to really scoot himself out of there to be safe.” Then the “leaf” took off once again and I realized, since I was so much closer to the event, that it most certainly was not a leaf, but a little vole. The crow tried valiantly to capture its prey, but each time the vole managed to escape. The ultimate rescue came from my car. As I got closer and closer, it was obvious that the crow had a dilemma: capture its prey and risk dying itself, or let it go. He

chose the latter. The vole scurried away and buried itself into the safety of the snowbank, and I breezed by. It was not until afterwards that I realized the whole drama of the event taking place in the middle of the road. It lasted just
a moment, but in that short time, nature unveiled herself. The vole was in a heroic struggle for its survival and the crow, interested in a tasty morsel, was in tenacious pursuit.

Carries on family basketball tradition BY JONATHAN KANE
F
or Wood River High School junior Blair Radford, basketball is a passion and a way to carry on a family tradition. “I’ve been playing since I could walk,” Radford said with a smile. “Both my parents played in college and coached, but I really didn’t start to enjoy it until sixth grade.” Radford said her earliest memory is being at practices with her father, John. “I was in fourth grade and we were in the gym and I told him I would never enjoy playing basketball,” she said. “I felt kind of pushed into it. But in sixth grade, I really started to enjoy it. I hadn’t planned on that. Now I spend most of the summer traveling, playing it.” Radford started to play organized basketball as a sixth-grader with the Blaine County Recreation District and the club team Storm, coached by her mother. “I spent summers going to basketball camps with my dad and that’s where I met coach Jim Boatwright,” she said. “Being around him and my dad made the game so enjoyable. Jim was like an adopted uncle to me. He had played in Greece, and seeing the way people looked up to him and talked about him made me want that, too.” In seventh and eighth grades Radford started playing point guard – a position that she still plays today on the Wood River High School varsity squad. “We struggled as a team in seventh grade, but in eighth grade we placed second in the district. Personally, I
improved a lot from seventh to eighth grade.” Radford started playing for the varsity squad as a freshman. “It was a huge transition,” she said. “To be surrounded by girls that I had looked up to and to now be teammates and not watching from the outside was awesome. I struggled, though, confidence-wise.” Radford has just completed her junior season on varsity. “I was a captain and personally did really well,” she said. “It was a little difficult because we had five freshmen on the team. I focused a lot on leading them and encouraging them the way the older girls did for me when I was a freshman. But we still struggled.” Radford said she enjoys her leadership role as a team captain. “It’s great having a voice and being able to lead.” Radford also spends part of the year traveling with the Flash, a club team based in Boise. “Players are seventh through 12th grades and are divided into teams with the younger girls and elite teams,” she said. “I’m on the elite team and we go to tournaments where college coaches can see you play. I want to play in college and I’m looking at schools in the Northwest close to home.” Radford said she loves playing point guard. “I like the control of the game and being a coach out on the court,” she said. “It makes me feel like I’m the leader and that I’m confident I’ve been put in that position and trusted to make decisions.” tws

‘HAIL, CAESAR!’
Now Hiring Part-Time News Reporters
Hollywood revealed

J
oel and Ethan Coen return once again to Hollywood for their latest comedy/fantasy, “Hail, Caesar!” Funny and sharp, the film falls somewhere in the middle of the brothers’ canon; not a masterpiece, like “The Big Lebowski” and “Raising Arizona,” but still superior to anything their peers can offer up. Set in the early 1950s, the studio system still reigns supreme, cranking genre epics, one after the other. Here at Capitol Pictures we find a terrific Josh Brolin as the head of the studio, juggling a menagerie of talent while trying to keep things afloat. His character, Eddie Mannix, takes his name from the real Mannix – a legendary vice president and studio fixer at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer through its golden age. The film takes place in one day while Brolin tries to keep on track a number of films hilariously sent up by the Coens. But his real problem is the kidnapping of the studio’s star, George Clooney, right before they can wrap up the Ben Hur epic he stars in and that the studio has high expectations for, by disgruntled Communist screenwriters. The kidnapping is only a device for the Coens so they can take a humorous tour through Hollywood. In delicious smaller parts are Scarlett Johansson as an Esther Williams-like swimming star that is soon to have a baby out of wedlock; Channing Tatum as a Gene Kelly-type in a great homoerotic song-and-dance number that shows off his skills to perfection; and then Alden Ehrenreich as a singing cowboy that steals the movie and delights in a scene with his director, Ralph Fiennes, as he struggles with dialogue in a drawing-room comedy.

Community School, a private school in Sun Valley, announced that senior Olivia Ott has been named a National Merit Scholarship Finalist. Ott is only one of some 15,000 finalists nationwide in the 61st Annual National Merit Scholarship Program. The finalists represent less that 1 percent of America’s high school seniors and were chosen from a pool of 1.5 million juniors, based on scores from college entrance exams. Finalists are also selected on academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership qualities and honors and awards received. “I am thrilled that Olivia was chosen as a National Merit Scholarship Finalist,” said Head of School Ben Pettit. “This is a remarkable accomplishment for her and her teachers. A student senate president, co-captain of the girls’ varsity soccer team, recipient of multiple Model UN awards, and a strong student academically, Olivia is also simply a good person. She is well deserving of this honor.”

HOW NOT TO ATTACK A HEART ATTACK
ANONYMOUS BY REQUEST
D
enial is a powerful deterrent to doing the right thing – a fact of life I learned nearly two years ago when I suffered a heart attack. Aside from certain questionable eating habits (a guy thing), I never considered myself a candidate for a heart attack. I’ve never smoked, don’t drink, and I love being active – walking, working in the yard, just wanting to go all the time. So, when at 3 a.m. I woke up to the worst chest pain I’d ever felt, it was obvious to me it was indigestion. I walked around the house figuring I needed a mint or something to settle the situation. Finally, I laid back down and went to sleep. I’ve since learned I was lucky to wake up again. It was two weeks before I went to a doctor and discovered I had an irregular heartbeat. I had played golf twice, all the while suffering from chest discomfort. Not only had I suffered a heart attack but I had a blood clot in my heart. All this because in my mind there was no way “I could have had a heart attack.”
February is American Heart Month – time to be aware of heart health and the fact a heart attack can happen to anyone at any time. 911 and immediate medical attention is our lifeline. This month I’ve been shown basic CPR, learned more about the signs of a heart attack, learned just how resilient the heart is and, most importantly, I learned not to deny the obvious signs. February is American Heart Month. Learn what you can because, like I discovered, the next heart attack could be yours. Upcoming class: Thurs., March 10, 6-10 p.m. St. Luke’s, River Run Rooms Pre-registration required; please no walk-ins. Cost: $64. Please call 208.727.8733 to register.
It’s your life. We help you live it.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 19
Nighttime racing is at Rotarun Ski Area in Hailey for the month of February. This race series is open to all ages, abilities and equipment. Come out and race as an individual, a family or get your friends together and make it a team race. The race format is a “dual” course, letting two racers compete head to head. Then head back up the mountain, switch courses and race again. The combined fastest time wins! Rotarun also tracks times to determine overall winners for each night. The course is described as a modified slalom, meaning that it is not as fast as a real giant slalom and you don’t need special slalom race gear. The racing series runs every Friday night through Feb. 26. The price is especially affordable this year with just a $5 entry fee per participant for both adults and children. If you do not have a season pass, you will also need to purchase a lift ticket, which is $10 for children and $20 for adults. On-site signup is 5:30-6:30 p.m., with races starting at 7 p.m. For more race information, go to rotarunskiarea.org or contact 208.720.1975.

BRIEF
ARKOOSH CUP RETURNS TO ROTARUN
After a two-year hiatus because of lack of snow, the Arkoosh Cup ski races for youngsters returned Sunday to Rotarun Ski Area in Croy Canyon west of Hailey. Rotarun Board President Jesse Foster reported that some 100 kids, ages 4-12, competed on this year’s abundant snowpack. This year’s fastest overall time was set by 11-year-old Jessica Blackburn, while the second fastest time was recorded by 12-yearold Bryce Foster. Both kids are members of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation race team. The Foundation teamed with Rotarun to hold this year’s event. Rotarun reported in a press release that the Arkoosh Cup, named after the Arkoosh family who donated the land for Rotarun, serves as a training ground for many of the outstanding skiers, including Picabo Street, who went on to become Olympic competitors. “The race is intended to be an opportunity for young racers to showcase and hone their skills, and for non-racers to challenge themselves in a fun, local, low-key event,” Rotarun reported.

NEW YORK TIMES REPORTS RARE WEATHER EVENT NEAR PICABO
According to The New York Times, the Picabo area was subjected to a rare weather event in late January when thousands of snowballs, up to 18 inches in diameter, mysteriously appeared at The Nature Conservancy’s Silver Creek Preserve. Originally reported by the Associated Press, who wrote that the snowball horde looked like the “work of hundreds of ambitious kids,” the story was posted in The New York Times on Feb. 10. The AP reported that Preserve Manager Sunny Healey spotted the snowballs on Jan. 30 following an overnight windstorm. “You could see the tracks that they made, and I thought that was really curious,” Healey said. “I had to stop a couple of times, and then along Highway 20 there were thousands of them.” The AP reported that Jay Breidenbach, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, described the snow rollers as caused by an “especially rare” weather event, requiring high winds, at least several inches of snow, temperatures near freezing and the right water density in the snow. The high water density allows the snow to stick together as wind pushes it, much as a child might do, into a larger ball, which continues to grow the farther it is pushed.

“We know basically how they form and why they form, but we don’t know the exact details,” Breidenbach said. “It would be interesting to go there with some weather instruments to watch them form.” Weather-caused snowballs, referred to as snow rollers, have been observed in other places in the Wood River Valley this winter, such as in fields near Timmerman Junction. Small weather-caused snowballs have also been seen in fields a few miles north of Hailey.
COMMUNITY SCHOOL SKIER TO COMPETE IN ESTONIA
Peter Wolter, a longtime member of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation cross-country team and a student-athlete with the Community School Sun Valley Ski Academy, will represent the United States at the U18 Nation’s Cup races in Otepaa, Estonia, Feb. 21-29.

According to a Community School press release, “Peter graciously acknowledges all of the hard work and excellent coaching he has received from SVSEF throughout his career as one of the contributors behind this amazing accomplishment.” Community School further reported that Wolter, a junior, “is a strong student academically, carrying a 3.88 GPA.”
These snow rollers were photographed on Jan. 30 two miles south of Timmerman Junction.
LIVE AND LET LIVE
BY SARAH BUSDON
S
everal gardeners in the Wood River Valley are of the mindset, live and let live. That means you adopt a tolerance to all your garden’s inhabitants. Our gardens are part of a larger living system in which predator and pest compete. A healthy, organic garden is home to many beneficial insects and visiting birds that are more than happy to feast on aphids, cutworms, and other garden pests. Building good soil, properly placing and caring for plants, and cultivating a diverse mix of plants to attract beneficial insects and pollinators are your best bets for maintaining a healthy, productive, edible garden. Stressed plants are a magnet for pest and disease infestations. When pests are feasting faster than you can plant, or when your family becomes fearful of dinner, then it’s time to take action. Knowing the enemy is a vital component of effective organic pest and disease management; you can’t control the problem until you identify what you’re up against. Noticing damaged plants or impaired growth is our first indication that a pest or disease is present. Once you have correctly identified the problem and the culprit, the battle is al-
ready half won. Different pests require different control or deterrents. Access reference books, websites, your local Master Gardener, and horticulture educators for advice on what control – if any – is necessary. Mild winters, wet springs, and the occasional cool summer provide perfect conditions for a variety of fungal diseases to flourish. Prevention is the key to disease control. Select healthy, disease-resistant plants and practice good garden hygiene. Most fungal diseases incubate on wet foliage. Adequate spacing and pruning to promote good air circulation go a long way toward preventing disease and fungal growth. Water susceptible plants, like tomatoes, peppers, squash and cucumbers, early in the day so that their leaves dry quickly, and remove infected plants and fruit immediately to prevent disease from spreading. For more information on alternative garden pest control or deterrents, contact the Blaine County Extension office. Sarah Busdon in an administrative assistant with University of Idaho’s Blaine County Extension office. For more information, visit extension.uidaho.edu/ blaine or call 208.788.5585.
