Off-road vehicles Off-road vehicles are not safe for transporting children, Carma McKinnon, Idaho Child Passenger Safety statewide coordinator, said. While popular with families across the country for both recreation and work purposes, ATVs and UTVs are simply not designed to keep children onboard safe. ATVs, or all-terrain vehicles that are also known as quads, and UTVs, or utility-task vehicles that are also called side-by-sides or recreational off-road vehicles, are dangerous for children because they are heavy, used on uneven terrain, and provide little to no protection for passengers. There are no child restraints for use in UTVs. ATVs are typically one-person vehicles while UTVs have seats more like a car, with the driver sitting upright and using a steering wheel. These vehicles have seats that are side by side for a driver and a passenger. Some also have backseats for as many as five total occupants. In 2014, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that 93,700 patients were treated in emergency rooms for injuries involving ATVs, and that 26 percent of these were children under 16 years old.

ince 2006, the Wood River Women’s Foundation has awarded grants to Blaine County-based nonprofits, of which there are more than 100 in operation. Members of the WRWF understand that pooling resources has a greater impact than one person’s annual check. It also has bonuses for its members as it connects them with the community, they learn more about Blaine County needs, and it enables them to meet other women interested in philanthropy. At the 11th annual luncheon at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge, in Elkhorn, on Tuesday, members who each pledge $1,000 a year, met to announce new board members, discuss impacts on the previous year’s grantees, and celebrate the new grants awarded. One of 48 in the U.S., the WRWF is part of a network called the Women’s Collective Giving Grant Makers (WCGN). Board member of this national group, Laura Midgley is also a member of WRWF. “None of these groups are identical,” Midgley said at the luncheon. “They all reflect their communities. There are over 11,000 women affiliated with the WCGN. That’s pretty powerful. In its history, it’s given $80 million.” WRWF President Joanne Wetherell recently attended the WCGN Leadership Forum in Charlotte, N.C. “The women of the Wood River Valley made quite an impression,” Wetherell said, due to its robust membership of 280 from such a small community. The following grants, worth $224,600, were awarded, with some already working on these projects. 1. The Hunger Coalition and The Community Library, “Bloom” – Growing Healthy Bodies and Healthy Minds – $27,000 2. The Advocates, Domestic Violence Housing First – $25,000
3. Blaine County Education Foundation, Signature Programs to Support Blaine County School District Students and Teachers – $25,000 4. National Alliance for Mental Illness-Wood River Valley, Sustainability, Marketing and Office Equipment Upgrade – $25,000 5.

Summer Auction to support scholarship fund Pesky Center fundraises for learning
By Dana DuGan
E
very parent hears subtle criticism regarding their kids at some point in their schooling: she’s immature, he’s unruly in the classroom, he should be kept back, she isn’t reading at grade level. These concerns can mean many things. And there are clear steps to take, from having a heart to heart with your child and hiring tutors, to finding resources in your community, to help. But many parents don’t understand what’s needed to help, have access to resources or they lack the funds required. Fortunately, nearly 20 years ago, Alan and Wendy Pesky, of Ketchum and New York City, started an organization named for their late son, Lee, who’d suffered from learning disabilities himself. They understood the frustrations firsthand. “We began as parents,” Wendy Pesky said. “We had no training as educators. Lee would be 52 this year. We had him tested but at the time they had no way to explain what was happening. Now there are real ways to deal with dyslexia. It’s a relatively new field.” Today, the Lee Pesky Learning Center has helped to improve the lives of nearly 2,500 families through one-on-one evaluation, intervention, counseling and referral services. It’s also trained more than 5,000 teachers across
Idaho on best practices in the classroom to address a wider range of learning needs for every student. Two upcoming fundraisers will help support the work of the LPLC. “We hope to raise enough money for 10 to 15 scholarships, for those who have financial needs,” Pesky said. “One hundred percent of proceeds from the Summer Auction support LPLC’s Lifetime of Learning scholarship fund. We pick the clients who’re most in need financially, who would otherwise not be able to afford our services.”
Now there are real ways to deal with dyslexia.” Wendy Pesky Fully half of LPLC’s clients live in households that earn less than $30,000 a year. The Peskys considered this as “strictly a service to help those who learn differently. We had two people working for us. We quickly found out there was a great need in the state for teachers to be trained. That became a very large area of work for us. We consulted with school districts.” LPLC’s executive director, Evelyn Johnson, who is also a professor of special education at Boise State University, works
with Pesky to train graduate students in special education, doing clinical and academic work. But there was still a distinctive “gap in services,” Pesky said. Now, thanks to a recent grant from the Wood River Women’s Foundation, Jami Delgado, who has a master’s in Marriage, Child and Family Therapy and a Pupil Personnel Services (PPL) credential in School Psychology, will offer counseling in the Wood River Valley. The counseling services begin with an evaluation of the whole child’s needs, looking at conditions such as anxiety, depression and self-regulation concerns. Once they better understand a person’s needs, LPLC is able to provide counseling services using a cognitive behavioral therapy approach, movement therapy and elements of a program called Social Thinking, which helps clients see improvements in their behavior and see significant gains in social outcomes. The Peskys haven’t rested, though. Once the organization was set up in Boise, they kept pushing, opening the satellite office in the Valley, and reaching out to other schools. “We’re doing research, too,” Pesky said. “We’re working with Lafayette College in Pennsylvania and a university in Germany to determine through DNA if a child has the marking. If you identify it, you can address the problem. It can save years

of frustration, anger and heartbreak. It’s a hidden condition. A child will struggle, not knowing that something is wrong. It’s empowering. We are one of four or five top facilities in the country.” To prove this point, Pesky tells me this story: “We had a family that moved from Rome with their youngest child who had learning problems. The father came first with the child, and spent two to three
weeks being diagnosed, in Boise. After it was determined what was wrong, they decided to move the whole family to Boise. The mother is now on our board, and the child is a very successfully functioning student.” The Summer Auction runs from Wednesday, Aug. 3 through 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9. To participate, visit www.lplc/afrogs.org. tws
Pesky Center Summer Online Auction
The Summer Online Auction allows for people to browse at their leisure and come back to check on their bids. “There’s a technique,” Pesky said. Auction items include weekend getaways, exotic travel destinations, hotel and lodge stays, spa treatments, Vintage Versace, gift certificates, rafting trips, tickets to events, handmade gifts, and much more.

Downtown Hailey has growth spurt Private and public infrastructure is keeping pace By Dick Dorworth
I
n 1996, the population of Hailey was about 5,400. Today, it is about 8,000. In contrast, Ketchum’s population in that same period has dropped by 100 so that it’s now less than 2,700. The private infrastructure of Hailey is keeping pace with the city’s growth, as evidenced by the major construction projects at the Natural Grocers building to open this fall/winter; the expansion of King’s variety store on North Main Street, also with a projected fall/winter opening; a new $900,000 headquarters for Evans Plumbing in Hailey’s light industrial area; and The Cottages of Sun Valley, an assisted living and memory care facility in north Hailey, to be completed in 2017. There are two more proposed buildings: the new Wiseguy Pizza building and D.L. Evans Bank, both on Main Street. The estimated investment in these new construction projects is $16 million. Natural Grocers has more than 100 stores in the western U.S. and this one will provide the Wood River Valley with another grocery option. Only USDA-certified organic produce will be sold, as the company sells no produce grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides,

herbicides, and genetically modified plants. The Cottages elder care will include 32 residential suites in two buildings for different kinds of care and will provide 30 new jobs for the Wood River Valley. As well, there are the City of Hailey’s public infrastructure proposals, known as “Hailey Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper.” The proposals call for creating more parklets in the center core; striped bike lanes on River Street, Second Avenue and on Bullion Street west to the Croy Canyon bridge; temporary neighborhood roundabouts to slow traffic; pedestrian crossing islands; and more Hailey and “way-finding” signage. According to Community Development Director Lisa Horowitz, the first of the parklets in front of the Liberty Theatre on Main Street has already been installed at a cost of just under $11,000. All of the other “Hailey Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper” proposals are, according to Horowitz, “…in process and not prioritized” at the moment and will be presented to the Hailey City Council for approval in the fall.

This week, Silver Creek has put forth a hatch that is akin to discovery. The Damselfly is the hatch and, despite it being a hatch that we see each summer, the activity we’ve seen in the past week is unparalleled on this stretch of water! Starting around noon, Damselflies are blanketing the water in numbers large enough to hear their wing beats. Even when the wind is blowing, anglers can find places where the fish are taking Damsels. Look for the biggest weed beds on the Creek and then spend some time watching the edges and the dropoffs behind these patches. The fish have been eating with such vigor that even on the windy days, they can be seen eating weeds off the surface due to mistaken identity and pure hunger. If you fish the Damselflies on the Creek, keep in mind the hook set is very, very different. When a fish takes your Damsel, you must wait, and wait and wait, and then set the hook hard! Your tippet material should not be lighter than a 3X. The old adage about saying “god save the queen” before your hook set is true here, and maybe even say it twice. While you search for fish feeding on Damsels, a pink-colored Hopper is working very well on the Creek. Windy days are best, but they aren’t required. The calmer the day, the tighter you want to fish your Hopper to the bank. The Big Wood is fishing well. Plan in Trico in the morning, Hoppers in the afternoon and Caddis in the evenings. Fish light tippets like 5X and 6X. Small nymphs are also an effective way to fish if things get slow on the surface. The upper Lost River is fishing on par with the Big Wood. Light tippets and Flying Ants are a great way to go. If you get stumped, fish small streamers into the pools and certainly fish the low-light periods and coolest times of the day. The South Fork of the Boise is still at boating flows and Hoppers fished near the bank will take some fish. Pink Albert is the big hatch and happens in the heat of the day. Overall, despite the heat and smoke, the fishing is very, very good right now. Cover up from the sun and get out there! Happy fishing, everyone!

Are spoiled dogs happy?
By Fran Jewell
I
n a nutshell, when we spoil our dogs, we set them up for all sorts of behavior problems and emotional discord. The biggest of these issues is separation anxiety. But there are other very unfavorable behaviors such as possession aggression and even dominance aggression. All become very difficult to reverse once the dog begins down this slippery slope. Years and years ago I knew someone that had adopted a wonderful golden retriever mix. He was sweet, good-natured, and easy with other dogs, and already had some nice obedience skills. Within a week, this dog began to control the sofa. If the owner went near the sofa while the dog was on it, the dog would bare his teeth and growl at her. Occasionally, he would snap at her. Next, he moved to the bedroom and claimed the bed. Soon, he no longer would come when he was called. Afraid she would alienate him if she said “No!” at the first incident, the possessive aggressive behavior escalated very quickly. Because the dog was a rescue, the owner felt sorry for him and gave him anything he wanted, including access to the furniture, food, and going outside with no confinement, and so on. Eventually, the dog ran away, nowhere to be found. The moral of this story is that the spoiled dog is not going to love or respect you more. This woman decided she needed an easier dog, so she adopted a darling little poodle mix. This dog already had all sorts of obedience skills and tricks from her previous owners, who had died. Feeling sorry for the dog, the new owner had placed bowls of dog food all over the house because “she likes to eat here.” And every bowl had a different food because… well, you get the story. Very quickly the dog became obsessed with the owner and could no longer be left alone without tearing her front teeth out on the crate door. The crate, by the way, was a place the

dog had loved to go before. The owner now had to hire a dogsitter even if she had to go to the store. The dog could NEVER be left alone. The moral of this story is that a spoiled dog can quickly become a nightmare to live with, making the dog and the owner miserable AND costing way more money than ever expected! It is no crime to treat dogs like dogs. No matter how much we love them, when we treat them like “dogs,” then we HONOR them for what they are… dogs. When we treat dogs like babies, we start down that slippery slope of unhappiness, neurotic behavior and even dangerous if not life-threatening behaviors.
Dogs need boundaries and rules. They need leadership. Dogs need to be dogs to be happy and well adjusted. When we honor our dogs as dogs, we develop a loving, respectful and joyous relationship. Dogs enrich our lives. We need to enrich their lives in return by understanding the wonderful species that they are!

The Hike to Boulder Basin BY Leslie Rego
L
ast week my husband, Alfredo, my son Delamon (yes, I have two sons!) and I hiked to Boulder Basin. The views hiking into the Boulder Mountains are very striking. Arriving at the old mining town of Boulder City is an added bonus. The rustic cabins and antique mining equipment is a call to the past and it is interesting to wander the sights imagining life as it once was in this picturesque but hardscrabble basin. The trail is a very rocky road which, surprisingly, still has a lot of water from snowmelt. The rivulets in the meadows are also still running strong. We saw an incredible selection of wildflowers and I must admit that I probably exclaimed every five seconds, “Look at this flower!” or “Have you ever seen so many of these blooming all together?” Finally, my son Delamon commented, “I have truly never seen anyone that loves wildflowers as much as you do.” I thought this was odd, as he has spent many summers on the Middle Fork as a river raft guide amongst a group of outdoor enthusiasts. And so, as I hiked, I pondered about why I am so passionate about wildflowers. Of course, their loveliness is a big reason, but beyond this, I love the noble nature of the flowers. They bloom whether we are there to see them or not. In isolated mountain meadows the flowers show themselves in full regalia, not needing the adulation of an audience. There are years that do not favor a certain flower; for example, the white bog orchid (my readers are now familiar with this flower) that likes wet meadows so much. In a dry year it tends to lay dormant and wait, patiently, until the conditions are right. Then it springs forth, without rancor, in full beauty. Near the beginning of our hike we came across a white bog orchid and I excitedly showed the plant to Delamon, commenting that it is a fairly uncommon flower. As we walked, we came across another one and then another one. Then we saw a meadow full of them, until my son said, “I don’t believe you that this flower is uncommon,” and certainly on that particular day, on that particular hike, it was not. I love that a flower can have an extremely “good” year where all of the conditions are perfect and it bursts forth in full glory. There are few things in life that are as willing to put on such

a beautiful show after years of neglect. Throughout the hike we came across fields full of one or two types of flowers. We saw purple fields of penstemon and we also saw fields of penstemon mixed with golden buckwheat yellow with purple, a perfect complementary combination. We also saw meadows brimming with many different flowers, creating colorful kaleidoscopic designs. The day was a perfect day for wildflower viewing and, yes, I was in “exclamation heaven” viewing one beautiful flower after another! Stay tuned for next week when I write about the old cabins and mining equipment. Leslie Rego is an Idaho Press Club award-winning columnist, artist and Blaine County resident.

Back-to-school help sought
The Blaine County Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization that raises funds to benefit children in the Blaine County School District, promoting academic excellence, equitable education and a sustainable student environment. BCEF is partnering with several businesses to provide back-to-school supplies for students in need in Blaine County. “With 42 percent of students receiving free and reduced-price lunch programs in Blaine County School District, a family living in poverty may find it difficult to choose between school supplies and basic necessities like food,” Kristy Heitzman, executive director for the Blaine County Education Foundation, said. To help families in need, BCEF will purchase 100 percent of supplies ranging from backpacks, paper and pencils to calculus calculators for students depending on the school and grade that the student will attend in Blaine County School District for this school year. BCEF is able to provide these services to families in the Blaine County School District thanks to support from the Wood River Women’s Foundation and donations from community members. There are several ways the public can help: • Purchase extra supplies and make a donation in one of the donation bins at any Atkinsons’ Market location or King’s variety store in Hailey. • King’s will have an “apple tree” where you can pick an apple and purchase some supplies for a child in need in Blaine County School District. • Sign up to volunteer and help assemble backpacks or distribute them for students. • Donate to BCEF for the “Back-to-School Campaign” at www.supportbcef.org • For families in need, register at www.supportbcef.org. Registration date is through Monday, Aug.15. Supplies are limited.
Syringa Mountain School to host Proceeds Days

Sage Bookkeeping Celebrates 10 Years In Hailey
C
arolyn Lister started Sage Bookkeeping in Hailey in 2006 from a need that materialized while she worked in offices in the Wood River Valley. “When I first moved to the area, I worked for Sun Valley Company as a masseuse,” remembers Carolyn. “I started doing the books for my own company and found I had a knack for accounting. When I first started bookkeeping, everything was done by hand in large ledger books. It wasn’t long after that I bought my first copy of QuickBooks and it came on a 5.25-inch floppy disk. It’s pretty amazing to see how far technology has come in 33 years.” Carolyn took to computers and software like a duck to water. “I worked as a 911 dispatcher in Ketchum and would frequently work the overnight shift,” Carolyn notes. “I spent many evenings writing the code for Ketchum’s first ambulance billing system. It was a great experience because it gave me the confidence to know I could do this for a living.” As office manager of a local construction company, Carolyn learned the art of setting up a company’s books to help it in more ways than just having a proper accounting of business that’s been done. “I always tell people that a company’s books tell a story – the better the books, the better

the story,” Carolyn explains. “While I did take classes in accounting at CSI, I probably use my business management classes as much or more in the course of my day. Too many business owners never set up their own method of accounting in a way that helps them make decisions and create strategies. If your books are set up correctly, they’ll help you do a lot more than just keeping a record.” As a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Carolyn and her team pride themselves on being able to help their clients keep it easy. “Our goal is to make sure our client’s books are compliant and accurate and that the cli-
ent knows what everything is,” Carolyn explains. “Your books could be put together perfectly, but if you don’t understand what it means, it’s useless. In her time away from the office, Carolyn volunteers as secretary of Hailey Rotary and also serves on the advisory board for the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. “I encourage my staff to stay involved in the community,” Carolyn notes. “We currently have eight staff including myself and we really like being on Main Street in Hailey. We work with clients all over the country and I’m glad we get to do it from such a great location.”

column movie review
‘Café Society’ The Golden Age
By Jonathan Kane
W
oody Allen strikes gold in his new, sumptuously beautiful and touching period-piece romantic comedy, “Café Society.” Besides being one of the best films of his later period (this marks the 80-year-old director’s 47th film), it also harkens back to two of his best films, “Radio Days” and “Bullets Over Broadway.” Set in the 1930s and bouncing back and forth between Hollywood and the Bronx and Manhattan, the film is a love letter to the period and the locales. The film is also supremely aided by Allen’s first collaboration with the genius cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, who in turn shoots in digital for the first time. Whether it is the blue pool of a Hollywood mansion or the incredible lighting of Central Park at dawn, the film is a visual delight. The story follows Jessie
Eisenberg, a street-smart kid from the Bronx who travels to Hollywood to find a job with his uncle, the uber-agent Steve Carell. Carell is so disinterested that he puts off their meeting for weeks, but when they finally do meet, he introduces Eisenberg to his beautiful assistant, played by an impressive and luminous Kristen Stewart. Eisenberg is smitten and eventually woos Stewart, but there is a complication. She is also seeing a married man. Eisenberg moves back to New York and goes to work for his gangster brother – a fine Corey Stoll – at his nightclub, which soon becomes the place to be. Eisenberg rises in the New York social scene and eventually comes face to face again with Stewart one night at his nightclub. In the scene and throughout the film, Eisenberg does some of his best work to date. What might have been between the lovers resonates pow-
erfully and deeply. As does this wonderful movie. tws

Hopes for a future in computers By Jonathan Kane
N
athan Lambert, entering his senior year at Wood River High School with a 4.0 grade point average and a member of National Honor Society, has a love of technology – especially computing. To that end, he is building a computer as his personal project this summer. An avid backcountry skier, Nathan also plays soccer and lacrosse for the Wolverines. In his course load, he has already taken Advance Placement U.S. History, Macro and Micro Economics, Language and Composition and Psychology and this year will take A.P. Calculus A&B, Physics, Statistics, Literature and Computer Science. “I love anything to do with computers,” Lambert said. “If I’m not doing homework, then I’m spending my free time on the computer. I have a passion for learning about the hardware and the different programs. I want to major in computer science in college and hopefully become a computer engineer. Knowing how computers work can prepare you for a lot of jobs.” Lambert began taking an interest in computers in middle school. In his high school freshman year, he took beginning computer programming. “It was an intro to programing and I learned the proper language and figured out how things work together,” he said. “I also learned how to research because you use Google a lot in program websites.” Lambert says that in writing programs you tell the computer what you want it to do. “The whole process is very an-
alytical, but also very creative, because there is rarely one way to do something.” He is deep into building a computer right now. “I’ve researched all the computer parts and researched how all of the components work, which will enable me to put it all together and build one. I’ve completed all the background work and ordered the parts and now I’m just waiting for them to ship so I can build it. Now I know how the processor works and all the graphics parts. I knew the basics of the eight major components but that was all. “I’ve ordered a pre-made case and it’s really not that difficult to put it together. But there is no room for mistakes. If you don’t do it right, it won’t work.” Lambert is already looking forward to his final year at WHRS. “I really like it there because of the students and I haven’t had a bad teacher yet,” he said. “The school also offers classes that I really like.” Lambert prefers math and science. “I like the mental challenge. I also like knowing that there is only one answer and the satisfaction that you have solved the problem.” Two of his favorite classes were precalculus and psychology. “I really liked learning about the brain and how people communicate with each other,” he said. “You can take learning about emotions and apply that to yourself. Things like facial expressions are universal and offer you a glimpse into human emotions.” tws

WHITE: A CONFOUNDING CANVAS ‘ART’ at Company of Fools
BY YANNA LANTZ
A
ugust 9-13, Company of Fools will present the Tony Award-winning, wickedly funny comedy “ART” by playwright Yasmina Reza. This year celebrates the 20th anniversary of the English translation by Christopher Hampton, and the play will run at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey. “We have a very interesting 21st season and this is a piece that we have really wanted to do that showcases three fabulously talented actors,” said Director Denise Simone. “I think my fa-
vorite thing about this play is the exploration of seeing what we want to see, but sometimes the situation changes, and then we see what we have to see to get what we want. It’s a very active thing to explore.” “ART” follows three longtime friends: Serge, Marc and Yvan. When Serge buys a very expensive piece of art that is white with white strips that can’t really be seen, the piece of art cracks the triad of friends wide open and takes the characters to the cliff of their relationship. “It’s about friendship and art and how those two things mix
together,” said Joel Vilinsky, who plays Serge. “We fight like a bunch of middle schoolers while learning to grow and shift together.” “My character believes art is whatever makes you happy, which is what gets him in a lot of trouble later on because he’s saying one thing to one character and another thing to another character because he’s trying to keep everybody happy,” said Chris Carwithen, who plays Yvan. “If you have a bold opinion, there’s going to be someone who disagrees with you. But to Yvan, his friendships are in-
finitely more important than a painting.” To Marc, the painting is an overpriced joke, but Serge insists that Marc doesn’t possess the proper sensibility to appreciate the work. “It’s a status thing,” explained Scott Creighton, who plays Marc. “I see my friend be taken in by snobbery, and how he now thinks he’s a connoisseur, while I think the painting is a piece of crap. But it’s not about the painting; I can’t believe my friend has turned into such a snob and left me behind. We’re fighting over Yvan so we can win, but there’s really nothing to win.” Although the subject matter of the play and talk of relationships is very serious, the result is sheer comedy because the characters are so serious about something so seemingly inconsequential. “It’s the humorousness of relationships that really comes through for me,” Creighton said. “They are desperately trying to

FAMILY CONCERTS AT THE SYMPHONY THURS AUG 4 & SAT AUG 6 6:30PM / PAVILION / SUN VALLEY The Sun Valley Summer Symphony will present concerts with a special appeal for families this Thursday and Saturday. Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf” on Aug. 4 and Britten’s “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” on Aug. 6 are two of the most beloved orchestral works ever written to introduce the symphony to young audiences. Narrator John Glenn, a founding member of the local theatre group Company of Fools, will tell the story of Peter, while other animals in the story are represented by specific instruments. For example, the bird is a flute, the duck is an oboe and the cat is a clarinet. In 1936, Sergei Prokofiev was commissioned by the Central Children’s Theatre in Moscow to write a new musical symphony for children. “The intent of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony in bringing this to the stage is the same as that of its original commissioners,” Jenny Krueger, executive director, said. “Cultivating musical tastes in children from the first years of school is just as important today as it was in 1936. This will be a great event to share with our youngest music lovers.” Young performers will also grace the stage, as chamber music students from the Sun Valley Summer Symphony Summer Music Workshops will play alongside the symphony in this program. “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” originally was written as an educational documentary featuring the London Symphony Orchestra. The full orchestra introduces a theme, which is then played by different groups of instruments. This gives audience members of all ages a clear look and listen to all the instruments in the orchestra. The final work on the Aug. 6 program is Prokofiev’s Concert No. 3 in C Major for Piano. It will feature pianist Joyce Yang in her third appearance with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. Yang first performed the concerto at the age of 12. She came to international attention in 2005 when she won the silver medal at the 12th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition at age 19. She was the youngest person to compete in the event. The Sun Valley Summer Symphony is the largest admission-free, privately funded symphony in America. In addition to the family concerts, the Symphony offers a free Kids’ Music Tent for children ages 4 to 8 to explore music. The tent opens at the back of the R.E. Holding Sun Valley Pavilion lawn 45 minutes before each of the Orchestra Festival concerts Aug. 1-18. Details on these concerts, as well as a complete list of performances, are on the Symphony’s website at www.svsummersymphony.org.

SPONSORED HEALTH BEAT
THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION BY ST. LUKE’S WOOD RIVER
Water is the most essential component of the human body as it provides an important role in the function of cells. Functions of water include transportation of nutrients, elimination of waste products, regulation and maintenance of body temperature through sweating, maintenance of blood circulation and pressure, lubrication of joints and body tissues, and facilitation of digestion. More than half of the human body is composed of water, and it is impossible to sustain life without it. Thirst is a signal that your body is headed toward dehydration. Therefore, it is important to drink before you feel thirsty and to drink throughout the day. Thirst is not a good indicator of hydration and should not be used to monitor hydration status. One way to check your hydration status is to weigh yourself before and after exercise. The before-exercise measurement is best as a nude weight first thing in the morning after urinating. Comparing your body weight before and after exercise can be used to estimate your sweat loss and your fluid requirements. Any weight loss is likely from fluid loss, so drinking enough to replenish these losses will maintain hydration. Over a 1 percent loss in body weight indicates dehydration and over 5 percent indicates serious dehydration. These fluid losses need to be replaced. Dehydration is the loss of fluids and salts essential to maintain normal body function. Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluids than it takes in. Dehydration can lead to: • Muscle fatigue
• Loss of coordination • Inability to regulate body temperature • Heat illness (e.g., cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke) • Decreased energy and athletic performance HYDRATION BEFORE EXERCISE: Check your hydration status before exercise because there is a wide variability in fluid needs for each person. • Drink 16-20 fluid ounces of water or sports beverage at least four hours before exercise. • Drink 8-12 fluid ounces of water 10-15 minutes before exercise. Consuming a beverage with sodium (salt) and/or small meal helps to stimulate thirst and retain fluids. HYDRATION DURING EXERCISE: • Drink 3-8 fluid ounces of water every 15-20 minutes when exercising for less than 60 minutes. • Drink 3-8 fluid ounces of a sports beverage (5-8 percent carbohydrate with electrolytes) every 15-20 minutes when exercising greater than 60 minutes. Do not drink more than one quart/hour during exercise. HYDRATION GUIDELINES AFTER EXERCISE: • Obtain your body weight and check your urine to estimate your fluid losses. The goal is to correct your losses within two hours after exercise. • Drink 20-24 fluid ounces of water or sports beverage for every one pound lost. Stay hydrated and enjoy these warm, sunny days!

n insect known as the raspberry cane borer has affected some Wood River Valley raspberries. Raspberry cane borers are slender, long-horned beetles measuring about a half-inch in length. The insect is mostly black except for a section behind its head (the thorax) that is yellow-orange with two or three black dots and has long antennae. The larvae that live within the cane are cylindrical and legless, white, and get to be about three-quarters of an inch long. Damage by a raspberry cane borer is easily identified by two rings of punctures about a halfinch apart and located 4-6 inches below the growing raspberry cane tip. This insect has a two-year life cycle. The adults appear in June and, after puncturing the two rings in the canes, they lay eggs. The eggs hatch in July and the larva begin to burrow toward the base of the cane, where they overwinter within 2 inches below the girdling (area of the cane that has been stripped of its covering). The second season it continues to burrow downward

to ground level where it spends the winter and will emerge as an adult the following spring. The existence of wilting tips characterized by two rings described earlier indicate attacks by raspberry cane borers. For control, prune out the infested canes by cutting a few inches below the girdling or below the larval tunnel by midsummer. Since the life cycle requires two years to complete, regular pruning usually keeps the population in check.

SUMMER SYMPHONY GALA SUNDAY AUGUST 7 6:30PM / PAVILION / SUN VALLEY Emmy- and Tony Award-winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth makes her Sun Valley debut with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony Sunday, August 7 at the Sun Valley Pavilion. Chenoweth received an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on the ABC series “Pushing Daisies” and lit up the stage of McKinley High on Fox’s hit comedy “Glee.” In her role as Glee’s quirky ex-songstress, April Rhodes, Chenoweth was nominated for two Emmy Awards and a People’s Choice Award. Ms. Chenoweth may be most familiar for her Broadway appearances. Her origination of the role of Glinda the Good Witch in “Wicked” earned her a Tony Award nomination, and her Tony-winning performance in “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” stole the show and hearts in the process. A veteran of the concert stage, Ms. Chenoweth has performed to sold-out crowds in concert halls throughout the world. She made national headlines with her stunning renditions of Hollywood’s most beloved songs from classic films when she performed at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl’s Hall of Fame. This will be an evening to remember! Get tickets for the event at www.svsummersymphony.org. For more information call (208) 622-5607.

New talent with Idaho roots to open for EmmyLou Harris
Hailey man initiates petitions
Hailey resident Bob Wiederrick will present two petitions to the citizens of Hailey this fall, if all goes according to plan. One petition seeks to repeal development impact fees for all construction except residential construction within the city of Hailey. It would ask the city of Hailey to refund development impact fees previously paid to the city for all construction except residential construction within the city. The other petition calls for “eliminating the renewal of a business license for a business in the city of Hailey provided the business has an approved business license and the business remains at the same location.” These petitions are both meant to encourage more businesses setting up shop in Hailey without restriction. In 2008,Wiederrick also attempted an effort to repeal development impact fees, that proved unsuccessful.
Save the date for film noir
Film noir will return in September for the third year. The 2016 Sun Valley Film Noir Series, offered by founder Jeanine Gregoire, will hold its screenings on Thursdays, Sept. 15, 22 and 29. The noir classics will be shown at 7 p.m. at the Magic Lantern Cinemas in Ketchum. Once again, Seattle Art Museum film director Greg Olson selected the theme for the 2016 film series: “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye.” The films screened will be “Scarlet Street” (1945), directed by Fritz Lang and starring Edward G. Robinson and Joan Bennett; “The Killers” (1946), directed by Robert Siodmak with Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner; and “In a Lonely Place” (1950), directed by Nicholas Ray with Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. The Sun Valley Film Noir Series also announced its new partnership with the Silver Creek Writers Residency.

O
pening for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts concert with Emmy Lou Harris on Monday, Aug. 8 at the River Run Lodge will be Ian Janco (nee Gilberg), who was born in the tiny Hailey Clinic in 1995. He grew up until the age of 11 on Carole King’s ranch, near Stanley, Id. Janco (he uses his middle name for performing) went to the small K-5 school in Stanley before his parents moved to Hailey for his education. He played drums, bass, and guitar in local bands, while attending the Wood River Middle School in Hailey. As a child he was surrounded by musicians. His father, Eric Gilberg, is also one. King’s ranch has a recoding studio and his mother, Elissa Kline, a photographer, previously worked in recording studios. He once said that Carole King was “practically my grandma.” At sixteen, Janco moved with his family to Santa Cruz, Cal., where he started selling CDs of his original music while busking on world famous Pacific Avenue, playing shows at local venues, and recording with several groups of local musicians.

A five month busking and sightseeing tour of Europe in 2013 yielded the songs that make up his debut album, “Stronghold”, which is now available on iTunes, Spotify, and Bandcamp. Janco currently attends Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Institute of the Performing Arts. In his first year there,
Janco was interviewed by the legendary Stan Ambrose for BBC Radio Merseyside ‘Folkscene’, the longest-running folk program on air. He was later featured on BBC Merseyside preforming, a rare honor. For more on the concert, see page 18.
