DARK SKY RESERVE PRESERVES OUR NIGHT SKIES
T
BY HAYDEN SEDER
he gorgeous environment of Idaho has always been its main attraction; mountains, rivers and forests remain pristine and cover a vast amount of the state. But another wilderness attraction can be easily overlooked—its skies. At a time when many cities and towns across the world can’t even see stars in the night sky, preserving those areas that allow spectators to appreciate the sky’s natural beauty is increasingly important here, dark sky enthusiasts say. The Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve, only one of 12 sky reserves in the world, was established in December of 2017 and officials from counties within the reserve’s area continue to make efforts to support dark skies and reduce light pollution. Last month, Stanley Mayor Steve Botti, Ketchum Mayor Neil Bradshaw, Sun Valley Mayor Peter Hendricks, Blaine County Commissioner Angenie McCleary and Sawtooth National Forest Supervisor Jim DeMaagd gathered at Ketchum City Hall to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that confirms their collective commitment to address light pollution and support dark skies in central Idaho. The agreement highlights the ongoing collaboration in the management of the Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve. Across the country, more than 80 percent of the population lives in areas where light pollution prevents residents from viewing the stars. Research has shown that the Milky Way isn’t visible to more than one-third of the world’s population. But central Idaho is unique in that it is one of the last large pools of natural nighttime darkness left in the United States. Thus, the reserve was established two years ago to protect an area that covers 906,000 acres, mostly public lands in the Sawtooth National Forest. Parts of this area include Blaine, Boise, Custer and Elmore counties, which means the towns of Stanley, Ketchum and Sun Valley have a responsibility to respect the stipulations that make a Dark Sky Reserve; namely, maintaining sky quality and natural darkness and following regulations and longterm planning put into place by land managers of the area. Tim Frazier, a Bellevue-based astronomer and lecturer, stresses the importance of maintaining our clear night skies. “We try to protect environmentally-sensitive areas like national parks and monuments and it’s the same thing with the dark sky; it’s disappearing rapidly,” Frazier said. “But unlike, say, forests and other habitats, light pollution can be fixed just by flipping a switch. It’s something easy to fix if people are aware of it.” For those looking for prime viewing of the Dark Sky Reserve, year-round access is maintained through State Highways 75 and 21 and U.S. Highway 93. Additional access is provided on Forest Service and secondary roads from May through November. For more remote locations, numerous trails offer both solitude and winter access. Since summer is the peak time for visitation throughout the area, those who work with the reserve have some tips to make sure the reserve stays pristine while still letting people enjoy it: • • •
It’s important to be aware of private land and homes that may fall within the reserve zone but are not on national Forest Service Lands. When visiting the reserve, practice Leave No Trace and Tread Lightly principals to make sure the area stays clean for all those who want to experience the reserve. Stay on trails and roads, pack out trash, and follow all signs and regulations.
“The cool thing about the reserve—besides being only one of 12 in the world—is that at night, the sky is just amazing,” Frazier said. tws “And it reminds you that this is what it all used to be like.”

NEWS IN BRIEF
Carey Firefighter Dies In Motorcycle Accident
On Sunday, June 16, at approximately 9:22 p.m., deputies from the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a motorcycle crash with injuries on Little Wood Reservoir Road, near Hunt Lane, in Carey. Upon arrival, deputies found Hyrum L. Nielsen, age 23, of Carey, deceased at the scene. A crash scene investigation indicates that Nielsen, driving a black 1982 Suzuki motorcycle, was traveling north on Little Wood Reservoir Road when he left the roadway on the west shoulder, impacting a tree, and was ejected from his vehicle. Nielsen was wearing a helmet. “The Blaine County Sheriff’s Office would like to send our condolences to the family and friends of Nielsen, and to the Carey community. Nielsen was a Carey firefighter and EMT, and we are very sorry to yet again lose another member of our community and a fellow first responder to a tragic accident,” said Blaine County Sheriff Steve Harkins.

s summer approaches, things continue to heat up for Blaine County School District. An attempt to oust the superintendent steams ahead, a major lawsuit against the district gets settled, and trustees are announcing their intentions for the November elections. Yet, even in that climate, a surprise move happened at the school board’s June 11 session. Censure Surprise Just 10 days after showing up at a public forum organized by disgruntled parents and teachers who say they fear retaliation by district officials, school board Chairman Rob Clayton got turned into plain old Trustee Clayton. His fellow trustees voted 3–2 to censure and demote him for violating the board’s code of ethics—a document trustees sign when taking office that sets guidelines on how to conduct school board business. Clayton has been on the board since 2014; the district said the violations occurred between January and May of this year. Clayton’s term expires in 2021. Vice-chair Ellen Mandeville will serve as board chair going forward, the district confirmed. A censure is a legislative body’s formal disapproval of the behavior of one of its members. It doesn’t have much teeth legally, but it draws a firm line in the sand politically, especially when it comes to running for re-election. In an interview with The Weekly Sun, Clayton characterized the violations as “pretty borderline” and described the school board as being in a state of “legal paralysis.” Across the community, the timing of Clayton’s censure and demotion read as the type of retribution by the school district some parents, teachers and staff say they fear. The district firmly denied that claim. “The statement sent immediately after the Board of Trustees meeting speaks for itself: ‘The Board of Trustees voted in open session to censure Chairman Rob Clayton for several violations of the BCSD Board of Trustees’ Code of Ethics from January 2019 to early May 2019 … the I-Care meeting was June 3,’” district spokesperson Heather Crocker stated Monday. It should be noted that Trustee Ryan Degn had attended the June 3 I-Care meeting as well. Degn is not the subject of any district policy violations. The allegations of ethics violations involved: Clayton’s attendance at what the district • described as a personnel performance evaluation between Holmes and a member of the staff • Clayton’s conversations with a teacher who had complaints about the district’s investigation procedures Regarding the personnel evaluation, Clayton said he was there to observe and the meeting had gotten “called off” anyway. He also said he had spoken with Holmes beforehand and the meeting was never described as an evaluation. Regarding the conversation with the teacher, Clayton said he wanted to err on the side of being informed. “We have a duty to provide oversight, but the instruction to trustees (from Holmes and legal counsel) is don’t talk to anybody,” Clayton said. “To make effective policy decisions you need good information and if you get your information from just one funnel, making good decisions is going to be challenging.” Mediation With Maza In the matter of now former Human Resources Director Shannon Maza, the school district has opted to settle out of court. Maza filed two tort claims earlier this year claiming she was bullied and harassed by district officials after taking issue with how a number of personnel investigations were handled. In addition to the tort

filings, the Idaho Human Rights Commission accepted her claims, opening the door for the independent agency to mediate between Maza and the district. According to the so-called separation/settlement agreement, Maza’s position will terminate immediately and in exchange she will receive a $125,000 payout from the school district. Sacking The Super An online signature petition demanding that the school board fire Superintendent GwenCarol Holmes has passed 1,150 signatures as of press deadline Tuesday. As reported, it was generated by a group called I-Care (Idaho Citizens for Accountable, Responsible Education). The group is loosely comprised of parents, teachers and other residents who are upset with district officials across a number of matters, from what they describe as top-heavy spending to the management of personnel issues wherein they say they have been “willfully ignored” and “fear retribution.” The group launched its petition at their June 3 forum. Organizers said the goal is to get trustees to hold an executive session to discuss terminating Holmes with cause. A “with cause” firing would mean the superintendent would not receive a severance package. I-Care folks have been clear: It will campaign against any trustee who does not vote to remove Holmes. November Reign Three trustees have their terms expiring in November. Already Ellen Mandeville has announced she will not seek re-election. Mandeville was one of the three trustees, incidentally, that voted to censure and demote Clayton. “It is true that I will not be seeking re-election in November. My family and I expect to be moving out of Zone 3 of the school board within a year or two. I cannot in good conscience run for the seat knowing I am unable to serve the full four-year term of office,” Mandeville said. However, trustees Ryan Degn and Kevin Garrison have announced they do plan on running in November. Profile articles on both those candidates are slated to run in upcoming editions of The Weekly Sun. Degn voted against censuring and demoting Clayton. Garrison voted for both motions. tws

Idaho Power Wants You To Utilize These Energy-Saving Tips
Idaho Power has released a few tips for staying cool and managing your summer energy use when it’s hot outside. Here they are: • Close doors, windows and blinds during the day when you’re out of the house, especially on the east and west sides. If safe to do so, open them at night or in the morning to let in cooler air. • Do laundry and run the dishwasher in the early morning and late evening hours to avoid adding heat in the warmest part of the day. • Consider installing an attic fan to draw hot air out of the house. • Consider installing a ceiling fan in rooms used frequently. Moving air can feel up to 4 degrees cooler than still air. Ceiling fans are effective in homes both with and without air conditioning (A/C). • Turn the A/C off when you’re going to be gone for an extended period. • Check your A/C’s air handler or furnace filter. Dirty filters reduce a system’s efficiency. • Consider installing a programmable thermostat to give your A/C a break at night and when you are away without sacrificing comfort when you need it. • Weatherstrip doors and windows to prevent losing cool air to the outside. Idaho Power also reminds customers that summer rates went into effect June 1. Our area experiences the highest demand for energy in the summer, so rates increase from June through August, due in part to higher wholesale prices Idaho Power pays for energy in the summer months. So while rates for most Idaho Power customers actually went down for the second year in a row this month, people may see an increase on their bills due to summer rates and increased energy use.

Risch Hopes To Make Female Small Business Owners Richer
At the request of U.S. Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho), the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has approved the establishment of the Idaho Women’s Business Center (WBC)—a business development organization that will provide resources, education and services to entrepreneurs and female small business owners across the state of Idaho. The Idaho WBC will be hosted by the Idaho Hispanic Foundation, under the direction of Idaho Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and will open two locations in the Treasure Valley and the Magic Valley. The University of Idaho will serve as a co-partner to the Idaho WBC. “Women entrepreneurs are key to the success of our state, driving much of the extraordinary economic growth Idaho has experienced over the last decade, and the Idaho Women’s Business Center will equip female business leaders in the Gem State with the tools they need to start and grow their businesses,” Risch said.

Campion To Champion Hailey’s Fourth Of July Parade
The Chamber of Hailey and the Wood River Valley has named Lynn Campion this year’s grand marshal for Hailey’s famous Days of the Old West Parade. Campion is a longtime resident who first began hanging her hat in the Valley in the early 1970s. Born and raised in Colorado, Campion was a professional photographer and author, penning two books, “Training and Showing the Cutting Horse” and “Rodeo.” A former national cutting horse champion, Campion is the ideal selection for grand marshal of the parade as her positive impacts have reached far and wide across our community, The Chamber said. Campion has been a ski instructor for Sun Valley, a volunteer firefighter for the Ketchum Fire Department and she helped bring the first advanced EMT program to the area. Campion has also served on various local nonprofit boards, including The Community Library, St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center, and Hospice of the Wood River Valley. The Campion name is now best known locally for the Campion Ice House, which was made a reality thanks in large part to the generosity of Lynn’s family’s foundation. Campion is married to the acclaimed Western artist, Theodore Waddell, and both are looking forward to being part of Hailey’s iconic parade. “It’s humbling to be selected as the grand marshal by a community that has been so good to me for so many years,” Campion said. Donations to help make the Fourth of July in Hailey happen are always welcomed by The Chamber.

he famed brown drake hatch seems to be winding down on Silver Creek. While the hatch occurred a bit later than normal and was somewhat short-lived, there were several days of intense brown drake activity. Adult emergences and spinner falls happened from the bridge at Picabo Road upstream to the Highway 20 access. For those anglers that timed things right, the fishing was excellent. As another brown drake hatch fades in our rearview mirror, we at Picabo Angler would like to thank all of the folks who stopped in to see us at the shop and on the river, and we are truly thankful for catching up with old friends and making new ones. There was definitely an attitude of “peace, love, and fly-fishing” along the Creek during the hatch. We are in full runoff mode on our local freestone rivers and tailwaters. The Big Wood River, upper and lower Big Lost River systems, and the Little Wood River are high and turbid, offering little in the way of angling opportunities. Remain patient for these fisheries to come into shape; once they do, the fishing will be incredible. Like you, we’re looking forward to the green drakes on the Big Wood. These bugs typically show up on warm afternoons starting in late June or early July and will bring out the river’s best fish. Check out all the fantastic green drake patterns we’ve got here in the shop. We should have another excellent hopper season on all of our area waters. Our spring was very wet, which equates to lush, green grass along the riverbanks and a bumper crop of grasshoppers. Stock up on your favorite hopper patterns now. The South Fork Boise River below Anderson Ranch Dam is flowing at 2500 CFS and is fishing well. Floating remains the best option. Salmonflies should be showing up on the river soon. Silver Creek is the shining star in our area right now, and fishing remains productive. Mornings on the Creek see a smattering of Blue-Winged Olives and PMDs, with Callibaetis being the dominant bug during the warmest part of the day. This hatch will intensify as we roll into summer, and we’ll also be seeing increased damselfly activity on the Creek. As always, don’t forget your ants and beetles. It’s a wonderful time to be an angler on Silver Creek! Happy fishing, everyone!

THE LASSIE PILL
BY FRAN JEWELL
e all want a dog that is friendly, outgoing, comes when she is called, and one that we don’t have to worry about if we leave her outside Starbucks while we go get a cup of coffee or chat on our cellphone. The reality is that a good dog takes effort. There simply is no way to have a wonderful dog unless you put time and energy into her. That doesn’t mean just taking her for walks. Today, more and more people have dogs and most of the time they have more than one dog. That means more dogs, and a bigger “city” of dogs. Just like in the larger cities, there is more crime simply because there has to be with a larger population. As there are more dogs (and, let’s face it, the Wood River Valley is a dog overload!), there are more and more that won’t get along with each other. For us to believe it is dog utopia is, unfortunately, a fallacy. Not only are larger populations of dogs to blame for the increased aggression and spats among their species, but we humans enable those distasteful and dangerous behaviors when we feel the need to let our dogs “be free!” The simple reality is that if we are not proactive about teaching our dogs how to behave, dogs will revert to what they know, or “feral” behavior. Domestication has not taken that away. They will resolve disputes with aggression, as they would naturally. Polite behavior is not the nature of most, if not all, dogs.
I realize that is a strong statement to make, but even humans must be taught how to behave in our society. So, why would we think that a dog will simply fit in with all dogs and all people, with love and smiles? So many people also think they can send a dog off to a trainer and that the dog will come back perfect. As the title implies, “There is no such thing as a Lassie pill!” There is no simple way to have a trusting, respectful relationship with a dog or expect them to have the same with others if you, as their owner, are not taking the lead to show them how. We are all trainers, 24/7! What many do not understand is that dogs want and need our direction. They want to fit into our society. I cannot tell you how many times I feel so strongly that aggressive or disrespectful, obnoxious behavior could be avoided by positive direction given by the dog’s owner. What most people don’t realize, too, is that aggression is almost always directly related to a dog feeling insecure or anxious. Very seldom is aggression or other obnoxious, disrespectful behaviors a result of a dog being “alpha” or dominant. Alpha dogs don’t need to fight or be aggressive because every dog knows who they are without fighting. In order to have a wonderful dog to live with, it takes time, knowledge and commitment on your part. There are no Lassie pills to make it happen overnight. If you don’t have the knowledge, you seek help. Max von Stephanitz, founder of the German shepherd dog, said, “A dog is a reflection of his owner.” That

FOREVER MOMENTS: CENTENNIAL MARSH
T
BY LESLIE REGO
he deepest of darks and the lightest of lights is what you encounter when you visit Centennial Marsh. It was a sunny day with a few spotted and hazy clouds in the sky. The area was alive with birds flying low over the reeds and sedges, flitting from one spot to the other. A yellow-headed blackbird perched for a moment on top of a cattail, and then he was off again, skimming the water. The yellow head glinted, catching both the rays of the sun and the sparkle of the water. Red-winged blackbirds, appearing all black when perched, spread their wings, showing off their red and yellow bars—little stripes of color suspended over the green of the marsh. I spied a ruddy duck maneuvering through the greens and browns of the water plants, his chestnut-colored body fairly well camouflaged within the shadows, but then the “robin’s egg-blue” beak would poke out, destroying his deep cover. The male duck sports this bright blue bill throughout the summer. In winter, the bill turns a dull gray. A black-necked stilt with impossibly long legs took off, the legs lifting up and behind the body, appearing like a long red tail. I sat down on the side of the dirt road and began to sketch. “There is mystery in those murky depths,” I thought to myself, as I became engrossed in the enigmatic waters. While I painted, a yellow-headed blackbird stayed perched on a reed, the breeze shifting the tall grass back and forth. The bird swayed gently, his head tilted, curious about what I was doing. The ruddy duck paddled lazily, coming closer and closer. Cocked heads peered at me. The surroundings were filled with the gentle and sometimes harsh calls of the birds. These are the forever moments that stay with me long after I finish a painting. The sights as well as the sounds and the breeze are instilled within the sketch. Sometimes I feel that when I open the pages of my sketchbook, the sounds, the wind, the sun, and all of my forever moments spill forth from the paint, leaving indelible marks wherever they may fall.

GUEST OPINION DAVID NELSON
Idaho Has A Long Way To Go On Opioid Crisis
Nearly everyone in Idaho has a friend, family member, or neighbor who has been impacted by the ongoing opioid crisis. Idahoans have spent years trying to figure out how to contend with the most addictive, widespread drugs in modern history. The opioid epidemic has become a pressing issue for lawmakers, stakeholders, and various organizations alike. Earlier this week, Governor Brad Little signed an executive order to address opioid abuse among Idaho citizens. The executive order creates a group that will examine the ongoing crisis and provide the governor with recommendations about how to move forward. Before we figure out where we are going, let’s review where we are at. For the last 10 years, opioid use and addiction has steadily increased in Idaho. According to the Office of Drug Policy, a person dies from drug overdose every 36 hours. During the legislative session, lawmakers took steps to begin tackling the opioid crisis. Representative Jake Ellis and I championed a bill that makes opioid antidotes like Naloxone and Narcan easier to prescribe and more available to Idahoans. The legislation had strong bipartisan support and passed with flying colors in both the House and the Senate. These drugs can be used to save someone’s life if they are experiencing an opioid overdose. They are becoming easier and easier to use (some even function as a nasal spray) so that a family member or friend could quickly take action. We are hopeful that the new law will drastically reduce opioid deaths by reducing the amount of time it takes someone to get treatment. In some situations, a few minutes can be the difference between life and death. But, wouldn’t it be better to avoid using these drugs in the first place? Governor Little has the opportunity to provide services that would make sure Idahoans didn’t have to suffer from opioid addiction or overdose in the first place. Life-saving antidotes are great when you have no other options, but it would be better to prevent suffering from ever happening. Idahoans need affordable, accessible treatment options that can help to manage and eliminate opioid addictions. Thanks to the hard work of Idaho citizens, Medicaid Expansion will help to create some of these services. Recovery centers in all our regions are critical to fund to help people kick addictions. Funding from the new law passed by ballot initiative will make a huge difference in the quantity and quality of treatment services. The governor has publicly stated that he wants to reduce the amount of opioid arrests in Idaho. If companies that sell opioid-based painkillers are part of the problem, they must be held accountable. Purdue Pharma agreed to a $270 million opioid settlement with Oklahoma. We need to punish companies that have used marketing tactics filled with inaccurate information about how addictive and dangerous these drugs truly are. Idaho must join states like New York, Massachusetts and Utah to put a stop to the predator practices of the pharmaceutical industry. Drug addiction is, undoubtedly, a bipartisan issue. No one wants to see Idaho citizens addicted to powerful opioids with no ability to get treatment. We have the ability to make a real change, to save lives. And, hopefully, Governor Little has taken a step in the right direction. I support Governor Little’s proposals and will work to help reduce this horrible problem in Idaho. David Nelson is an Idaho state senator (D-Moscow).

BY HARRY WEEKES
n Barry Lopez’s “Winter Count,” the author talks about certain American Indian traditions, one of which is memorializing powerful annual events by drawing a representative icon on the wall of a teepee. Reading this many years ago got me thinking about seasonal events and how I wanted to mark the passage of time. One of the challenges I adopted was simple; every year I would catch a snake. Or try to. I say “simple” because this was just formalizing something I already did. Ever since I was little, I have loved catching snakes. One of the great things about growing up north of Croy Canyon is that catching snakes meant catching garter snakes—a pretty benign reptile. I wanted to pass this tradition on to my kids, and since they were young, whenever we turned onto our driveway, I would say, “Get your snake eyes on,” meaning it was time to pay attention to the road in front of us and be on the lookout for snakes. It is usually at some point in late May or early June when the “snake eyes” come out. When there have been enough warm days, when the hard and cold rains have pushed through, and when the sage is as green as it gets and the bitterbrush is about to bloom, I get that “snaky vibe.” This year was a convergence of so many whammies it is hard to describe the emotional impact. Whammy 1: I caught an early-season snake, which alleviates a bit of mental anxiety, both around having to catch a snake late in the year, and also having to catch a really active snake late in the year. Whammy 2: I caught my first snake on June 12, the last day of faculty meetings and the start of my summer. Whammy 3: I found and caught the snake a little bit before 6 a.m. while I was walking my warrior dachshund (my new nickname for him after he survived an attack by some bird of prey that left him covered with inch-long talon gashes). And Whammy 4 was the type of snake—not the usual and more frequent garter, but the furtive and elusive rubber boa. That’s right, folks—boa, as in boa constrictor. The rubber boa is about the most awesome snake on the planet. A tannish-brown color on

top, with a distinct and creamy yellow belly, this denizen of the underbrush looks exactly like what you would make if you rolled a snake out of clay. Add to this the fact that these snakes are used in therapy to break people’s fear of snakes, and you have a creature you can easily pick up and handle. I have found fewer than five of them in my life, and each one has displayed the same characteristic; they slowly wrap around my wrist and then sit there, like living jewelry, absorbing my heat (or that’s what I think they are doing). And so it was that I kicked off summer, in the early morning light, walking down my driveway amidst the sage-covered hills. I was ecstatic all day and said as much to Hilary when I talked to her on the phone. In the background, I heard Georgia, my oldest daughter, say something. “What was that?” I asked. “Georgia says she caught a snake yesterday,” Hilary relayed. “That is so awesome,” I cooed. “Georgia says she beat you.” Whammy 5. Harry Weekes is the founder and head of school at The Sage School in Hailey. This is his 47th year in the Wood River Valley, where he lives with his wife Hilary and their three kids—Georgia, Penelope and Simon—a nice little flock.

During her senior year she took Advanced Placement Government, Advanced Placement Statistics, College English and Being Bilingual Pays, which is a new class offered at WRHS. Sandoval was enrolled in the dual-immersion program for 12 years. She was also very involved in Nosotros United, a club unifying different cultures at WRHS. Sandoval was secretary of the club last year. Sandoval says she is thankful to be born and raised in the Wood River Valley. She especially enjoys hiking; her two favorite hikes are Carbonate Mountain and the Toe of the Hill trail. Her plan post-graduation is to attend the College of Southern Idaho to receive her associate of arts degree in education. Eventually, she plans to attend Boise State University to one day be a math teacher in no other school district than the one she grew up in. “In fifth grade, I had a math teacher who really inspired me,” Sandoval said. “She made it so easy to understand by giving us the problem and showing us every single step to the solution.” Sandoval hopes to one day help other students in Blaine County learn math just like her fifth-grade teacher helped her. tws

SHOW THEM YOU’RE SERIOUS
June and July are the busiest home sale months of the year. When inventory is in short supply and you may be competing with other offers, it is important to show the seller you’re serious. Make your offer look as good as possible because you may not get the chance to make or accept a counter-offer. Put yourself in the seller’s shoes. Your home has just gone on the market. There is lots of activity and, suddenly, there is more than one offer to purchase. The seller’s first consideration may be to accept the highest offer but there are many other things to consider, like closing dates, closing costs, possible repairs, contingencies and, of course, the ability of the borrower to get a loan. Offer a fair price for the property in your initial purchase agreement. It shows sincerity and good faith that you’re actually trying to purchase the home and not trying to take advantage of the seller. The old adage that you can always go up later may never happen if there are multiple offers on the property in the beginning.

1) Remove the uncertainty that you may not be approved for a mortgage by having a pre-approval letter from your mortgage company.
One way to eliminate the competition of multiple offers is by not procrastinating. When you have decided to write a contract, don’t wait; do it immediately and ask your agent to deliver it quickly. Your agent will be able to help you craft a solid offer that makes you look serious and can give you advice that may be unique to your situation.
2) Show your sincerity by increasing the normal amount of earnest money customary for the area and price of the home. The earnest money will be applied toward your down payment and closing costs. Consider placing even more money
3) Specify a closing date in the contract but acknowledge that you can be flexible to accommodate the sellers’ moving date. If it becomes an issue, it still must be mutually agreed upon. 4) Make the contingency periods shorter if possible to make the seller feel that they’ll know sooner that the offer is solid. 5) If the contingency really isn’t important to you, leave it out of the offer. The more contingencies included in a contract, the more the seller will wonder what might happen to keep it from closing. 6) Write a personal note to the seller explaining why you like and want their home. Consider including a picture of your family and pets. 7) If you’re not using a digital contract, physically sign the offer with a felt-tip pen of contrasting color. You’d be surprised how this adds a personal touch to the offer.

‘THE WORST CRIMES ARE THE CRIMES OF THE HEART’ Henley’s masterpiece to begin the family-centric Fools’ season BY DANA DUGAN
A
udiences love plays that are familiar, homorous, and with a happy ending. “Crimes of the Heart” falls into this pleasing category, but any self-respecting theatre company will take it further and deeper. Such is the case with Company of Fools, which will present Beth Henley’s multi-award-winning play, beginning with a gala opening night, Friday, June 28, at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for COF’s new producing artistic director Scott Palmer to give a public lecture at and share background pertinent to the play. A no-host opening night party will be held after the performance at Sun Valley Brewery, in Hailey. “Crimes of the Heart” is the first show in COF’s 24th season, which is dubbed Welcome To The Family, and will feature plays written by women, with mostly female casts, Palmer said. Set in 1974, the play revolves around the McGrath sisters who reunite in their hometown of Hazlehurst, Mississippi, after one of them shoots her abusive husband, while also awaiting news of their grandfather, who is dying in a local hospital. The play will feature Sharon Barto Gouran as Meg McGrath, Audra Honaker as Lenny McGrath, and Aly Wepplo as Babe McGrath Botrelle. The cast is rounded out by Tess Makenna as the McGrath cousin Chick, Tim Gouran as Doc Porter and David Janeski as Barnette Lloyd. Lenny is unmarried, and turning 30, though no one recalls that fact. Meg is a struggling singer, just returned from California, and the pistol-packing Babe is out on bail. Each one feels she’s been betrayed somehow—by their absent father, by the men they’ve known and by life in general. Their troubles, which are grave, are also somehow hilarious and are boosted by the schemes of Chick, Doc Porter and Babe’s lawyer, Barnette, who has his own vendetta to attend to. But the play ends on a high note, at least for the moment. “There’s a thin veneer of Southern gentility that hides pain and scandals,” said Palmer, who is also directing this production. “There’s something truly epic about the South; it constricts but there’s so much can one say with one phrase. There are so many layers underneath. It’s Henley’s writing but it’s also the South.” Janeski agreed. “There’s something Beth Henley does in many of her works,” he said. “Something beautiful and awful, together on stage in the same moment. Tragedy needs the comedy. It happens all the time.” “Crimes” was penned by a “Southern woman at a time when American theatre (particularly on Broadway) wasn’t seeing a lot of work by women and featuring strong female characters,” Palmer said. “It shattered expectations and opened the door to the idea that women playwrights, and
Seattle-based actors Tim Gouran and Sharon Barto are featured in Company of Fools’ new production. Photo credit: Kirsten Shultz / Company of Fools
plays that focus on women’s stories, were not only important but could also be commercially successful.” Palmer pointed out that the play’s themes and cast have some interesting connections to the Wood River Valley, and Company of Fools, in particular. In 2015, to continue working with COF, Wepplo and Janeski moved from Richmond, Va., where COF was founded. Barto grew up in the Valley, and was introduced to theatre through COF. She has returned from Seattle with her husband Gouran for this production. “Oddly enough, [she] plays a character who returns to her hometown and grapples with the things that have changed and the things that have stayed the same,” Palmer said. “Audra has a long history of performing with The Fools, and was a great friend of John Glenn’s. She lives in Richmond, where The Fools got their start. These women are remarkably talented, well-trained, and deeply connected to this theatre and this place. It feels oddly appropriate for each of them, with their different histories with The Fools, to be playing these roles.” Besides Palmer, the crew includes scenic design by Joe Lavigne, costume design by Melissa Heller, lighting design by Steve Koehler, sound design by Chris Henderson, dialect coaching by Ann Price, technical direction by Patrick Szczotka, and production management by K.O. Ogilvie. “Crimes of the Heart” will run through Saturday, July 13.

SPONSORED HEALTH BEAT
PREGNANCY AND EXERCISE: IS IT SAFE? BY CORTNEY VANDENBURGH, D.O.
I
– SLWR FAMILY MEDICINE
often get asked by expecting mothers if it is safe to exercise while pregnant. For most pregnant patients, the answer is absolutely. It is recommended that most pregnant women get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most, if not all, days of the week. There are many benefits to exercising during pregnancy and, for most women, there are few risks. Women often tend to be highly motivated to improve their health and overall well-being while pregnant as it benefits both the mom and the fetus. Potential benefits of exercising during a pregnancy including: • Reducing backaches, constipation, bloating and swelling • A boost in mood and energy levels • Improvement in sleep • Preventing excess weight gain • Promoting good muscle tone, strength and endurance (which can help during labor) • Potential reduction in gestational diabetes and preeclampsia If you weren’t active prior to becoming pregnant, it is important to start small and build up to the goal of at least 30 minutes a day. Walking is a great way to start out to build up some aerobic conditioning without too much stress on your joints. One of best ways to enjoy exercise while pregnant is swimming because it is low impact and a great workout. For women that are active prior to pregnancy, they may be able to continue with their regular exercise routine for much of the pregnancy but certain modifications may need to be considered to accommodate
the anatomical and physiological changes that occur while pregnant. It is important to exercise at a moderate intensity, which means you should be able to carry on a conversation while exercising and to avoid activities that may result in trauma or injury. A general rule of thumb I like to give pregnant women is that your heart rate should not exceed the normal range for the fetus’s heart rate. Keeping this in mind, a max target heart rate should really be 120140 for most women while they are pregnant. Intense exercise can impede blood flow to the uterus and, therefore, the fetus, and potentially cause harm. If you experience any vaginal bleeding, contractions or have any sort of fall while exercising, it is important to contact your doctor. There are many potential benefits to both you and your unborn baby by staying healthy and active while pregnant. However, there are certain activities that your provider will likely advise against and women with certain medical and obstetrical conditions may be advised against any exercise as it puts them at higher risk. Therefore, it is important for all women to talk with their doctor prior to participating in an exercise program or activity. If you need help finding a doctor, call St. Luke’s Center for Community Health at (208) 727-8733 or visit stlukesonline. org.

LYNN CAMPION NAMED HAILEY’S FOURTH OF JULY PARADE GRAND MARSHAL
T
BY MIKE MCKENNA
he Chamber of Hailey and the Wood River Valley is excited to announce that Lynn Campion has been selected as this year’s grand marshal for Hailey’s famous Days of the Old West Parade on the Fourth of July. Lynn is a longtime resident who first began hanging her hat in the Valley in the early 1970s. Born and raised in Colorado, Lynn worked as a professional photographer and is the author of two books, “Training and Showing the Cutting Horse” and “Rodeo.” A former national cutting horse champion, Lynn is the ideal selection for this year’s grand marshal because of the numerous and often under-the-radar positive impacts she has had across our community. Lynn has been a ski instructor for Sun Valley and a volunteer firefighter for the Ketchum Fire Department. She helped bring the first advanced EMT program to the area and was a big part in founding the 5B Restoration Coalition after the devastating Beaver Creek Fire in 2013. Lynn has also served on various local nonprofit boards, including The Community Library, St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center and Hospice of the Wood River Valley. The Campion name is now best known locally for the Campion Ice House, which was made a reality thanks in large part to the generosity of Lynn’s family’s foundation. Lynn is married to the acclaimed Western artist, Theodore Waddell, with whom she teamed up to create a couple of
children’s books that star a dog named Tucker. Both Lynn and Ted are looking forward to being part of Hailey’s iconic parade. “It’s humbling to be selected as the grand marshal by a community that has been so good to me for so many years,” Lynn said. Please Support the Fourth of July Hailey’s annual Independence Day celebration is the quintessential Fourth of July in the West. It is a celebration of America and our wonderful community. It’s why thousands of people from throughout Idaho, the country and the Wood River Valley choose to celebrate our nation’s most hallowed holiday in Hailey ever year. It’s also why the Fourth of July week has had the highest hotel occupancy rates locally for years. Hailey is as good as it gets on the Fourth of July, but we can’t make it happen without your support! The Days of the Old West Parade and fireworks cost close to $30,000 and we need your support to make this magical day happen. There are lots of ways to support the Fourth. You can make a donation, volunteer, enter a float in the parade or buy a raffle ticket. This year we’re raffling off a brand new Traeger grill as well
