across the pond without sinking. It takes good balance and a lot of momentum to skim across the 80-foot pond. What started as snow skiing quickly turned to the likes of water skiing as everyone attempted to glide across the pond. Not everyone exactly glided, as there were many that didn’t quite make it across and got drenched in the process, all with smiles on their faces as the crowd cheered them on. The Pond Skim has been a rite of passage in the welcoming of spring
he annual end of the season on Dollar Mountain took place this past Sunday with a large celebration at the annual Pond Skim. Approximately 175 people registered and participated in this fun event, where people attempted to skim across an 80-foot pond of water at the base of Dollar Mountain. Most of the participants were seen in some sort of costume, as well. Skiers and snowboarders alike joined in on this free event presented by the Sun Valley Resort. Additionally, attendees who did not want to chance getting wet came in full force to cheer on those who did. People also enjoyed great food and music while celebrating the blue bird day. Jack Sibbach of the Sun Valley Resort estimated that there were over 1,000 people in attendance, watching and having fun. “Everyone had a great time and no one was injured,” Sibbach said. “It was a great day for all who were in attendance and the biggest crowd we’ve ever seen.” Dollar Mountain manager John Matteson oversees the event and the making of the 80-foot pond that his team builds. They excavate the large pond and fill it with water from the snowmaking system. They also set a track for people to ski down in an attempt to make it Hailey • Ketchum • Sun Valley
for all who participate. In this, its fifth year, the Pond Skim is always entertaining, especially with the originality of costumes worn by participants. It is Sun Valley, after all. The Pond Skim wasn’t just for the young, but for the young at heart as well, as many adults participated and many families made it a family day. Andi Meucci, whose son Max participated, had a great time. “What a great community event we had,” Meucci exclaimed. “It was

Thank you, Sun Valley Company.” “It’s a very family-friendly event and fun way to end another great season on Dollar,” stated Julian Tyo, coordinator for mountain events and summer trails at Sun Valley Resort. “We are pleased to bring back the Pond Skim for the fifth time.” To skim through more photos, see page 22

am Weiss graced the 2015 “Dent the Future” conference (DENT) this past Monday, March 23, and was the closing speaker for the lectures and interviews held that day. DENT organizers had expressed that they had been looking to expand their topics to include a “Zen aspect” to their conference this year. Weiss was the perfect fit for the job, and she presented an inspirational dialog called “Zen, Creativity, and Connectivity.” Weiss is a forerunner in incorporating the principles and practices of Buddhist teaching into leadership expansion and organizational renovation. The featured speaker jumped right into her lecture, which concerned the four principles for making a dent. The first principle is called “Beginner’s Mind.” “The essence of beginner’s mind is very pivotal and conceptual in Zen and creativity,” Weiss said. “Beginner’s mind is about our willingness not to know.” Think about it this way, she explained; it’s like everyone is walking around looking at the sky through a straw. Is that the sky we see? Sure it is, said Weiss. But is it the whole sky? No way. “What’s inside that little circle of straw is what we know, and no matter how much we know, it’s always limited…I think we all have a deep longing inside for a bigger sky, and so what does it take to open our straw,” she asked. The willingness to be vulnerable to fear and to open up into the unknown will open possibilities. The world will become wider, brighter, more beautiful and more mysterious every day if society takes this step. So, how does one cultivate beginner’s mind and experience a greater beauty and wonder? Principle two: “Look Underneath.” “Looking underneath is about dropping below the surface of our life,” Weiss said. “Whole worlds are around us and under us that we can’t see. I think we spend so much time living in what I call the horizontal dimension ~ getting stuff done; it’s about speed, efficiency, effectiveness ~ but the punch-line is, there’s always more.” Instead of burning out through the horizontal dimension, Weiss encourages listeners to drop-in to the vertical present and come into the moment and flesh-
out what is here and now. But how is vertical development accomplished? It’s about dropping down from the cognitive part of the brain, which we use frequently, and tapping into the true emotions of the heart and what humans feel. From there, Weiss invites people to tune into the “taboo” body center, where somatic gut instincts and the senses rule. “It’s the source of so much wisdom and our instincts and intuition,” said the speaker. “What we find is that when people have an opportunity to integrate all three centers, there’s a greater sense of wholeness, fullness, and satisfaction and meaning. So how do we do that?” Principle three: “Mindful Awareness.” Mindfulness is about a unique capacity humans have for self-reflection and awareness. Awareness, according to Weiss, is human’s gift from the universe. Mindfulness is a subset of awareness. “It’s a way to help train the attention to come into the present so we can reconnect with this vast source called awareness,” said Weiss. “It’s very simple, but not so easy.” The final and the most important principle for Weiss is “Love.” In the speaker’s mind, love has been reduced to a hallmark card of hearts and flowers and “being nice.” However, there’s also the love of friendship, the love of family, the love that matures and deepens over time and there is the love of the universe. “It you look underneath all those different flavors of love, what you find is not a feeling or an emotion, but a force,” Weiss proclaimed. “Love is a force that connects… love is that magnetism, that pull, that power that’s in the in-between. It’s what I like to call the web of our connectivity; the truth of our interconnectedness.” Although most humans would say they understand this logically, it’s much harder to find a deeper connection and to nourish and maintain it. “Love recognizes no barriers; it arrives at its destination full of hope,” Weiss said. “My hope today is that introducing these themes and principles will help each of us find our love, find our way to express ourselves. Because, love is fundamentally how awareness expresses itself, and it’s up to each of us to find it. I hope each of us will find our love and the thing we care about and express it.” tws

Fabulously Foolish Treats
Snowboarder, dog lover and community man BY DICK DORWORTH
C
hris Koch, the 46-year-old mayor of Bellevue, was born in Weisbaden, Germany, at the U.S. Air Force military base, but was raised in New Hampshire, where he learned to snowboard as a boy. That skill and passion led him in his early 20s to the Wood River Valley and the iconic Bald Mountain, the same way so many other skiers and boarders have ended up in the area. Before moving west in search of higher mountains and deeper snow, Koch graduated from the New York Institute of Technology with a degree in architecture and later earned a degree in education from Keen State College in New Hampshire. Koch is known for his high energy, good humor and positive attitude in dealing with life’s challenges, traits he applies to his work at Wood River High School. Koch loves working with all types of students. As a paraprofessional, Chris currently supports the technology in the building and book room management. Previously, he worked in the Special Education department helping students with learning disabilities and emotional issues. He has personal experience in such matters, having suffered from dyslexia and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder as a boy, giving him a unique perspective of both sides of the challenges of ADHD. “I can’t focus or read very well, and I start a million projects and rarely complete them in a timely fashion,” Koch said. “But, on the other hand, I can multitask with the best of
them.” In addition to his paraprofessional duties at WRHS, Koch teaches a class in leadership and coaches freshman basketball. When he first decided to become involved in public service, Koch served on the Bellevue Planning and Zoning Commission for two years. He describes the impetus to public service as his way to “give back” to his community. From the P&Z he moved up to the Bellevue City Council where he served as president until June 2010, when Mayor Jon Anderson resigned and Koch took over. As the only remaining city in Idaho to operate under a territorial charter, Bellevue’s mayor and members of the city council are elected every two years, and Koch has won the past three elections. He has a year and a half left in his current term, and at this point in time he has every intention of running for another term. “I really enjoy giving back and staying involved in the community I love,” he said. Koch and his wife Kim, a horse trainer for Cottonwood Creek Farm in Hailey, live in Bellevue with their three dogs, Olie, Aurora and Huck. Both husband and wife are active in the animal protection community. Koch has been on the board of the “no-kill” Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley where he has been a volunteer for many years. The humorous side of Koch enjoys dressing up in a full-length dog suit at shelter fundraising events and at Christmas he plays Santa Claus for the Bellevue kids.

arm Springs welcomed the 35th annual Hawaiian Nationals to its slopes, Sunday, March 22. Organized through community nonprofit, Sun Valley Tele Series, the snowboard and telemark slalom festivities commenced mid-morning, with post-event celebrations by mid-afternoon at the Upper Greyhawk lot. “You’re not going find a better group of telemarkers than right here,” said slalom entrant, Buck Cobb. “These guys know what it’s about.” Cobb, a Stevens Pass, Wash., local, considers Nationals a gathering of his family. He has attended the event since ’93. Race format featured dual heats in snowboard and telemark disciplines. Entrants contested one another in prestigious categories of best wreck, flamboyance and best timed run over a grueling slalom course. Top race results: Reed Stokes, 1st Men’s SB; Amber Marsh, 1st Women’s SB; Neil Persons, 1st Men’s Tele; and Jen King, 1st Women’s Tele. A “Human Slalom” brought competitive action to a close and segued into barley-pop refreshment and family-friendly après antics. Twenty-five entrants “took a chance and widened their stance” in a show of support for the ever-popular Nationals event while audiences looked on. Also on hand were the many sponsors who graciously gave of their goodwill to enhance fun for all. “This is our watch,” said Sun Valley co-director Julian Tyo. “We’re committed to keeping these good times going.” The SV Tele Series is noted for “the longest continually running telemark series in the nation.” Series organizers are passionate about preservation of free-heel skiing as well as the freewheelin’ mountain lifestyle. “We invite everyone to come on out,” said joint co-directors Brendan Coyle and Tyo. “Give that third [telemark] turn a try.” tws

Prom 911 ~ Donations To Create Dreams Helping young ladies with prom dreams BY MARIA PREKEGES
Most little girls have dreamed of going to their high school prom at some point in their lives. The dress, the corsage, the earrings, the shoes; and don’t forget about the jewelry and hair. But nowadays, getting ready for the prom can end up costing families a near fortune. A 2013 USA TODAY article stated that over $1,000 is spent on the big event each year, and that cost continues to rise. For many families in the Wood River Valley, that sum of money isn’t feasible, leaving their child not able to attend. But a new program in the Valley is here to help. Prom 911 is an organization started by local Mary Fauth to help girls get to the prom regardless of the cost. Prom 911 is gathering donated dresses and all the accoutrements and giving them to young ladies in the Valley that couldn’t otherwise afford to attend. It’s a great way to get as many girls to the prom as possible, regardless of the cost and the family’s financial status. Fauth, from Girls on the Run, conceptualized this idea. “I had read about a similar project in a book I was reading and immediately thought how much fun and how rewarding it would be to accomplish something like that in our community,” Fauth exclaimed. “When I thought back to my own prom experience, the stress of finding a dress, not to mention the cost, I could imagine many girls in our community that would benefit from a program like this. As any great idea sounds, it’s great if someone can actually get it started.” And started she did, along with Lisa Patterson of The Wildflower in Hailey, who got involved as soon as she heard about the idea. Fauth also stated that the mission for Prom 911 is similar to Girls on the Run. They want to “provide girls in our community with opportunities to feel confident, and have positive experiences in their childhoods to remember.” Prom 911 is asking anyone and everyone to look in their

Idaho BaseCamp hosts such events as summer camps, yoga retreats and the annual BaseCamp Feastival, a fundraising campout, held each September. Judges of the storytelling competition select the top three stories, and the audience chooses the ultimate rank. Stories are judged on story craft, delivery, connection to audience and creativity. Original stories win the day, but these don’t have to be first-person tales. “If you feel inspired, you can tell a story,” Gershater said to open the competition. “You have six minutes.” As most know, Gershater is an excellent leader. He went on to cheer absolutely every story, without fail. Fourteen such brave souls were inspired, some more prepared than others, but all stories held the audience in a kind of shared high-wire act. The stories, alternately amusing, scary, embarrassing, educational, soul-bursting and eye-opening, each encompassed the theme of “Uncharted Territory.” The audience sat (mostly still, though rarely quiet) while taken on journeys all over the world. It was a well-traveled group of storytellers who took the audience along on thrilling journeys from the River of No Return in Idaho, with

Hailey Fire Department Coin Challenge The Hailey Fire Department would like to enlist the public to help design its 2015 Challenge Coin. Alpine Tree Service has committed to donating $250 to the winning design. The coin design deadline is Friday, April 3, 2015, when submissions must be turned in to the Hailey Fire Department at 617 S. 3rd Ave., Hailey, or mailed to P.O. Box 1192, Hailey, Idaho 83333. Challenge coins started as military custom in World War I. The legend goes that an American volunteer flying squadron lieutenant had custom challenge coins minted for all those in his unit to commemorate their loyalty to the ongoing war effort. Narrowly escaping capture, one pilot in this unit produced his personal challenge coin to soldiers and had his life spared. That inspired the other members to carry their military challenge coins with them at all times. A tradition was born! Many fire departments across the country have carried on with the tradition. Participants are asked to only design one side of the fire coin. The design must include the Hailey Fire Department or a symbolic fire service-related image on the coin. Only four colors are permitted. A minimum 250-word essay describing what the design means to you must accompany each submission.
BY AIRIKA GOODPASTURE
axter Black has been a part of ~ if not the heart of ~ cowboy poetry for decades. As a former large-animal veterinarian, current author, poet and radio voice, Black has made his way to national standing. The New York Times describes him as “the nation’s most famous poet,” and for good reason. Black spent a small portion of his life working in Idaho as a vet with the Bruno Sheep Company, known now as Simplot Livestock. He now makes his living through speaking humorously of the pitfalls and oddities of the American cowboy lifestyle. Black is truly someone that has “been there and done that,” and with his left-handed sense of humor, he gives his fans a dose of the “not-so-soft” side of the trials and tribulations of living the cowboy lifestyle. It is his bold and faultless wit that makes him one of a kind. To put it lightly, Black defines “cowboy poetry.” With more than 1 million books and audio sold, a weekly television program and a weekly radio broadcast, there is no doubt that Black offers something that will leave an impact. “My audience is my inspiration,” he said. “Every cowboy, rancher, vet, farmer, feed salesman, ag teacher, cowman and rodeo hand has a story to tell, and they tell it to me. I ‘Baxterize’ it and tell it back to ’em! It doesn’t seem fair, does it?” After more than 25 years of entertaining his fans throughout the U.S. and Canada, Black has announced that he is hanging up his hat and taking a break from his hectic schedule of performing live. However, his television and radio programs will continue, as usual. The Trailing of the Sheep Festival is proud to announce that Black will be appearing at one of his last performances as a benefit for the Trailing of the Sheep Festival on April 4. The performance will be held in the Limelight Room of the Sun Valley Inn in Sun Valley. In addition to the Baxter Black benefit for The Trailing of the Sheep Festival, there will also be a tribute to David Stoecklein. A local legendary photographer, Stoecklein left his mark on the West and was loved and admired by ranchers and cowboys worldwide.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR MARCH 26 FROM PICABO ANGLER
Beautiful spring-like conditions persist this week. Warm, overcast and partly cloudy days spell Baetis on the rivers we can fish. Expect some limiting conditions to continue as far as water quality goes. The Big Wood River and closures for spawning fish in other areas begin at the end of the month. Early-run steelhead continue to find their way to the Stanley area. The fishing has been very good this season, with the early run of fish making for fewer anglers. Locals have done very well and most likely anglers that are waiting or have waited for the April time frame may be a little too late for the best of the action. For now, though, get up there if you want to catch one of these sea-run rainbows. The Big Wood is most likely going to continue to run off-color. Maybe the last few days of the season will provide some opportunity, but right now the best bet for Big Wood anglers is to head for the water in the canyon below Magic Reservoir. Although not easy fishing, the quality of the catch can be outstanding. Plan on Streamers and perhaps some decent dry-fly action with Midges and Baetis. The South Fork of the Boise River continues to fish in a fair fashion, with a little bit of Baetis and Midges being the main hatches. When in doubt, a red nymph like a Copper John will bring a few fish to the net. The Big Lost River remains the best fishery we have right now. The increased pressure from anglers is something you should plan on, but also plan on great hatches of mainly Baetis, with some Midges. The spawning action on the Big Lost is also picking up, so please be aware of the redds in the river. These are the gravel depressions that appear white or “fresh” as the rainbows have swept the gravel clean to deposit their eggs. One misstep onto a redd can destroy hundreds to thousands of trout eggs. It is probably best to not fish the fish seen “sitting” in these redds as well, as they need every last bit of energy they have to complete their spawn and recover before the water gets too high. This same activity takes place with the steelhead on the Salmon River, so if you fish in Stanley, please be aware of the fish activity you are fishing to. Happy Fishing Everyone!

Will + Can + Do = Get It BY BRENNAN FRANCISCO REGO KEFFER (With Thanks This Time To Rudyard Kipling)
Hello all,
This was Earl Holding’s favorite poem; it’s a good one to read on tough days and also on fun ones. ¡Happy snowy spring everyone; time to work & play! J ~b
If
Si
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
Si fiel a tu destino conservas la entereza cuando todo a tu lado desfallece en temor, Si disculpando en otros la duda o la tibieza, confías en ti mismo como el propio hacedor. Si conoces la ciencia de esperar sin fatiga, Si al verte calumniado no sabes calumniar, Si al odio no respondes ni con odio ni intriga y del mérito propio no te sabes jactar.
If you can dream ~ and not make dreams your master; If you can think ~ and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:
Si sueñas y tu sueño tu voluntad no agota, Si piensas, mas pensando no amenguas tu ideal, Si sabes enfrentarte al triunfo y la derrota y a cual dos impostores los tratas por igual. Si la verdad que dices es tal que, repetida, nunca pueda el malvado torcerla al deshonor, Si al mirar destrozada la ilusión de tu vida con mellados cinceles revives su esplendor.
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
Si haciendo un solo acervo con todos tus tesoros lo arriesgas a un golpe de fortuna o de azar y al perderlo, sereno, sin inútiles l oros, con esfuerzo valiente vuelves a empezar. Si eres bravo hasta el punto de que rindan jornada tus músculos y nervios vencidos en la lid, cuando en ti ya no queda en carne fatigada sino el querer invicto que grita: ¡Proseguid!
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings ~ nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And ~ which is more ~ you’ll be a Man, my son!
Si convives con turbas sin mengua ni desdoro, Si departir con reyes no te hace envanecer, Si no hay rival ni amigo que hiera tu decoro, Si, bueno para todo, te sabes retraer. Si para ti el febril minuto siempre fuera sesenta victoriosos segundos en un haz, Hijo mío: del mundo la conquista te espera pero más todavía, ¡Todo un hombre serás!

SPRING BREAKERS
BY JOELLEN COLLINS

BY YANNA LANTZ
(or #staycationers)
Congratulations, Wood River Valley! We’ve officially made it to spring, thanks to this past Friday, March 20. A well-deserved break is in order for many. I’ve heard locals bragging about their vacation plans of jet-setting to India, or getting lei’d in Hawaii or even jammin’ Rasta style in Jamaica. But what about the nine-to-fivers? What about the people working instead of snorkeling? According to Urban Dictionary, a staycation is defined as: “A chance to sit around and look at all the reasons you wanted to get away for a week in the first place.” Its use in a sentence would be, “Man, since I took that staycation, I really feel for all the guys who lost their jobs.” Or, alternatively, “All I did on my
staycation was chores.” Luckily, we live in one of the best places for a staycation. Options: 1 ~ Get those last few days on the slopes in without any nubes cutting you off. 2 ~ Take yourself out for a fancy dinner worth the cost of a plane ticket. 3 ~ See a movie. Seriously, I’ve never seen cheaper movie tickets anywhere. 4 ~ When it turns 70 degrees and sunny this weekend and everyone’s crying because it’s raining on their precious spring break, have a backyard barbecuewith all your favorites. 5 ~ Go for a camping trip and soak in the beautiful stars that no one will see in L.A., NYC, D.C. or Boston. 6 ~ Oh yeah, all that laundry that’s been amassing…jump start
spring cleaning and show off your gorgeously sanitized home to your friends when they return. 7 ~ Start planning a garden, I’m not sure if I’d plant quite yet, but construct your blueprints. 8 ~ Act like a tourist in your hometown! See the historic sights, hikes or galleries you’ve put off, take silly pictures in iconic places and make new friends. 9 ~ Binge watch that episodic TV show you’ve been dying to see that’s now on Netflix; there are far too many on my list and it’s starting to become overwhelming. 10 ~ Take a road trip for a Saturday, even if it’s a short one. Grab some junk food, blast rockin’ tunes till your bass starts to get in trouble and PARTY LIKE IT’S STAYCATION 2015!

I manage to walk a lot during my stay here in San Francisco and also take omnipresent buses as a sure way to a destination. In addition, I use Uber [a new transportation option whereby vetted drivers using their own cars can be recruited for service, often at less cost than a taxi]. While there is a controversy over the efficacy of this latest way to get around many large cities, I love the concept. When I use Uber via my cellphone, I see the fares less than those of regular taxi services, and drivers often arrive within two to five minutes of a service request; however, there is something else very special about this phenomenon. I like to find ways to know the denizens of the places I visit. When I take Uber, I sit in the front seat next to the driver and, since he invariably has an accent, ask about his origins and home. This simple question has opened many delightful conversations and a sense, once again, of the immigrant experience our country offers. In just one week, as I visited my grandson’s school and explored a few corners of the city, I met wonderful young men from Nepal, Brazil, Central America, Eritrea, Egypt and Mexico. Each driver was pleased I was interested at all in his life, and they JoEllen Collins ~ a longtime had many things in resident of the Wood River common. Valley ~ is a teacher, writer, Most, of course, fabric artist, choir member missed their home and unabashedly proud countries and the grandma known as “Bibi values and families Jo.” they left behind, but also stated an almost universal appreciation for the opportunities they felt were available by being here. Most were attending classes not only in ESL, but also in subjects to improve their chances of getting work in fields they had found successful but poor paying in their home countries. As you might expect, they had already brought wives and children with them and hope also to see if there were chances for their now-elderly parents to join them. They would love to recreate the multi-generational families they knew at home. The other almost unanimous belief of these drivers was that working hard enough would ensure better futures for their children; they felt certain that they would receive good educations and enjoy the mobility of this free society. So kudos to Krishna and Antawan, both telling me that they had “won the lottery” (Nepalese visa procedure), and the metaphorical prize of opportunity. And cheers to the young man from Eritrea, yearning for his brothers but determined to work in education as he had there. How about applause for Diego from Central America, who was excited to get help on understanding the concept of opposing arguments in writing a persuasive essay for a college class. I even found out that a folk figure I include in stories I tell my grandchildren is an echo of the same loving but very dirty creature his mother mentioned whenever he returned from muddy play. How terrific to hear stories from those still not jaded by our culture and a grand way to enhance my visit to this heterogeneous mecca! tws

Hard Hitting
BY JONATHAN KANE
G
unner Gibson, a Wood River High School junior, has a penchant for hitting people hard ~ on the football field, that is. The strapping 6-foot-2, 205-pound linebacker and tight end started playing football at six years old. Football is in his genes ~ his father and both his uncles played in the National Football League. “I just love the game,” Gibson said. “Since I was born, I’ve loved it.” Gibson started in a league between elementary school and sixth grade. “I won a lot and just got better.” Then he moved into tackle football. “It was a whole different thing ~ way more fun,” Gibson said. “Of course, everyone got injured. We were just kids and we didn’t know the game very well. I was pretty small then and played quarterback, which was pretty fun because you are the star of the team. What I remember most was how intense it was to start hitting. You knew you weren’t playing flag football anymore.” When Gibson moved up to the middle school, wins were scarce. “We didn’t win in the seventh grade and only won once in eighth,” he said. “I was getting bigger, so that’s when I started playing tight end and linebacker. But it was a crappy feeling to lose. It just hurt because we knew we weren’t going to win and we tried the best we could. On the other hand, we were family because we had all started together, so it didn’t really bring us too far down. “I had never played line18

Reflection
his week I had the pleasure of watching two of The Advocates’ youth activists give a speech to the Wood River Women’s Foundation about the Green Dot program for the upcoming grant committee selection period. I must admit I get just as nervous (if not more so) for them being up there as I am for myself when I’m at that podium. I told them multiple times that there was no pressure, they didn’t need to be nervous, to take deep breaths, to just imagine the audience in their underpants (why do people say that?)…all the common pre-public-speaking encouragement. Their speech was eight minutes long, as was required by the Foundation, and can I just say… THEY ROCKED IT! They spoke with passion, purpose and personality. The first question from the audience after they completed their speech started like this: “First off, I want to say that I have a young granddaughter and I want her to be just like you two when she’s in high school.” The ETC program goal is to have trained youth lead-
ers lead social change and help develop a compassionate community in which all people safely and appropriately intervene to prevent acts of power-based personal violence and commit to healthy relationships. The ETC teens assist with the development, implementation and evaluation of multiple community-wide healthy relationships and healthy community programs that primarily target youth. One of the objectives of the program is that ETC youth leaders gain self-confidence, job skills, peer influence and community awareness due to their involvement. In the 18 months the program has been running, I have witnessed a girl start out too shy to speak, to not only later speak out in front of over 150 people this past summer, but also take a leadership role in the group. Through the text messages and articles I receive from the interns and the conversations we have during our Sunday meetings, I know that this group of young adults has not only gained community awareness, but they have learned to connect that community awareness to
the big picture. I cannot count the times that they have come to me with problems that peers have come to them with. Usually they are just checking in, making sure they handled the situation the best way they could. And they are. This may sound like I’m bragging about this group. And maybe I am a little bit. I just wanted to take some time to reflect on these past months of all that these teens have accomplished and how much self-growth I have witnessed. This group of teens deserves to hear that they are all intelligent, compassionate, inspiring leaders of our Valley. Like that woman in the audience a couple of days ago, I think we can all hope our future generations end up like these young women and men. This article was written by Heidi Cook, community educator and program manager of the ETC’s (Every Teen has a Choice) teen intern program for The Advocates, a Hailey-based nonprofit whose mission is to teach people of all ages how to build healthy relationships.

backer or tight end before, so there was a lot more hitting, and I liked it more. Your opponents wouldn’t know if you were any good, so I surprised a lot of people. Basically, there’s one rule in football ~ stay low. You always win as the lower person ~ no ifs, ands or buts.” In his freshman year, Gibson started on junior varsity as a tight end and outside linebacker, having played the middle up to that point. “On the outside, you have to contain more,” he said. “On the inside, you’re finding gaps to take out the quarterback and running back. Also, on the outside you are covering receivers. I like it a lot more and because I’ve been doing it for three years I’m more comfortable at it.” Today, Gibson is one of the biggest and fastest players on the varsity team. “I’m losing my younger fat and I’ve worked a lot harder to get faster, like footwork from agility drills and power in my legs through squats and lunges,” Gibson said. “Stretching is 90 percent of the process. It loosens you up and your risk of injury is a lot lower.” Today Gibson has worked himself into being firstteam All League tight end. “I like offense more,” he said. “When I get the ball, no one is stopping me.” Last year Gibson caught 26 passes and scored 11 times and on one of them ran 65 yards after the catch. “It’s just awesome to hit a guy,” he said. “I’m one of the people that teams look at and have to change defenses and double-team him. It’s just the greatest feeling in the world.”
Amelia The Flying Dog BY ANA MARÍA CUNEO
“Platero is small, fluffy, soft; so soft on the outside that one would say he is all cotton, that he has no bones.” This is the opening paragraph of “Platero y I,” Ramón Jiménez won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1956. Ramón Jiménez won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1956. a book written by Noble Prize winner Juan Ramón Jiménez. Platero was a little donkey, but Jiménez could have just as well been describing my dog, Amelia. Some 16 years ago I came down with a life-threatening disease that required surgery and a long recuperation period. Eventually, I got better but the ordeal left me weak, disheartened and uninspired ~ not the best attributes for a writer. So, I decided to take an early retirement. Idle months went by and when loneliness had the impudence to settle in, I knew that if I were going to stay home, I needed to get a dog. Searching the website of my local animal shelter, I found a basset hound that looked like a good fit. I drove over to check him out in person but, unfortunately, the basset hound and I were not a good match. Next, I was shown a big yellow Labrador retriever that was so delighted to meet me that he almost knocked me down ~ too much dog for me. A Doberman pinscher proved to be too unruly, and the quiet Chihuahua in the corner turned out to be a charlatan. Just when I was ready to give up, I noticed that a Jack Russell terrier was trying to get my attention. Her file described her as “an escape artist,” but that didn’t matter because she had me at the first woof. She was the right size, the right temperament and had excellent manners. I named her Amelia Earhart. Little by little, with my dog by my side, I started to write again. She seemed content, too, and the proof of the matter was that she never once tried to escape. As the years went by, my husband and I began to travel for extended periods of time, always taking Amelia with us. The three of us flew all over the country, and so her name came to suit her perfectly. When we were

Together we have reluctantly entered our golden years, but we are both in excellent health and always willing to travel. She has been my companion, my friend, my ally and my guardian. Perhaps a little slower now, she still chases the geese out of my backyard, while I still sit down to write my stories.

movie review
BY JONATHAN KANE
B
eing such a big fan of Chris Rock’s genius makes it all the more painful to pan his seriously bad new movie, “Top Five.” It’s also not hard to be amazed by all the glowing reviews it has received. You see, Rock wants to be serious and taken seriously as a filmmaker. Sounds a lot like Woody Allen and it’s no coincidence that Rock’s fictional name in the film is Allen. Much like Allen’s weird but much better “Stardust Memories,” we have the story of a funny man that badly wants to shed that reputation in a business and culture that can devour you. But is it a
local food for thought
‘Top Five’
Jon rated this movie
Bad Rock
serious, introspective Rock that the audience wants to see? Can a film like this, devoid of any true laughs, succeed? The answer is clearly no. In the movie, we follow Rock on the day that his character, a stand-up-comedian-turned-mega-filmstar, on the strengths of playing a bear detective called Hammy in three hit films, is debuting his new, serious turn as a Haitian slave revolutionary that is clearly destined to bomb. While his reality star wife-to-be preens in Los Angeles right before they are to be married, Rock spends the day in New York City with a New York Times interviewer, played nicely by Rosario Daw-
son. The film takes place over the course of a barely believable day as Rock and Dawson walk and talk (a la Woody Allen) through the Manhattan landscape. Their budding relationship, poorly written and executed by Rock, is never in doubt. There is also a plot line about them being recovering alcoholics that also never seems to add up. Rock has also directed and brought in a bevy of comics for cameos, including Jerry Seinfeld and Adam Sandler. Only one scene catches fire when Rock returns to the old neighborhood to hang out with a great Tracy Morgan. Too bad the rest of the movie is all fizzle.

Local deputy receives award Sgt. Lizano honored by Sheriff’s Office
The Blaine County Sheriff’s Office awarded Sergeant Fabrizio Lizano a Life-Saving Certificate of Appreciation Award today for his heroic actions that resulted in the resuscitation of a man at a Boise Costco. On Jan. 23, 2015, Blaine County Sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. Fabrizio Lizano and his family were shopping at Costco in Boise. While inside the store, Sgt. Lizano noticed a large crowd of people around a man lying on the floor. Sgt. Lizano, who is a certified EMT and the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office first-aid and AED (defibrillator) instructor, quickly determined the man had no pulse and was not breathing. Sgt. Lizano was able to assess the situation, utilize his training and render immediate first-aid. Sgt. Lizano and two other bystanders performed CPR on the man, and were able to regain a pulse. The victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, was able to start breathing on his own again. Local paramedics soon arrived and took over treatment. As a result of the first-aid
administered by Sgt. Lizano and the two other citizens (names unknown), the victim was resuscitated and transported to the hospital. “Ultimately,” said Blaine County Sheriff Gene Ramsey, “the man survived because of Sgt. Lizano’s training in first-aid and his willingness to assist a stranger in need. This spirit of service to our community, whether that is carried out in uniform in Blaine County or elsewhere off duty in the State of Idaho, is exactly what our department seeks to encourage. We are extremely proud of Sgt. Lizano’s choices and actions that day.” Sgt. Fabrizio Lizano has been employed as a patrol deputy with the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office for seven years and is a member of the Blaine County Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team (SERT). In addition to his tactical training, Lizano has over 200 hours of first-aid/CPR training and over 1300 total hours of law enforcement training. “The Blaine County Sheriff’s Office extends our sincere appreciation to Sgt. Fabrizio Lizano for taking an

active role as a citizen of his world and being ‘part of the solution.’ His actions provided an invaluable service to our community and saved a life. In recognition of these outstanding efforts, we are awarding Sgt. Lizano a Life-Saving Certificate of Appreciation Award,” said Ramsey.

The documentary “Food, Inc.” enlightened many of us to the dark side of large industrial poultry farms. It’s hard to forget the disturbing images of chickens crammed into overcrowded houses, beaks removed, pumped full of hormones and antibiotics, living in unsanitary and inhumane conditions. As concern has grown over industrial farming atrocities and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, so has demand for pastured birds raised by local farmers, on non-GMO feed, without any hormones or antibiotics. But there’s a problem. Currently, southern Idaho’s only two state-inspected poultry processing facilities are located on the Idaho-Oregon border. Due to road miles, many local producers are finding it extremely difficult to keep prices low enough to make raising poultry worthwhile. Enter the Mobile Poultry Processing Unit (MPPU), a cooperative-owned butcheron-wheels that allows smalland medium-scale local and regional producers to have their poultry processed and packaged on their own farms, saving them time, fuel and money. Fewer road miles mean less stress for the birds, resulting in healthier meat. It reduces prices and allows producers to retail their meat closer to home. As a bonus, any excess poultry parts are composted and returned to the soil as fertilizer. The MPPU generally services producers within a 50mile radius, charging them an affordable per-bird fee. Producers outside the 50-mile radius also pay mileage. Bottom line: It’s better for local farmers, better for the animals, better for our environment and better for consumers. The MPPU is the first project of a new local producer cooperative designed to promote profitability in diversified farms. The cooperative is committed to promoting agro-ecological principles and sustainable, economic and socially just practices. If you’re interested in learning more or investing in the MPPU, contact Cynthia Luck Carr at cynluckcarr@gmail. com.

The Black Diamonds All-Star cheer team from Spirit n’ Motion Athletic School in Hailey has been proudly representing the Wood River Valley this season. After three successful competitions in Boise and Salt Lake City, the team successfully achieved a bronze champion finish at The Salt Palace for the two-day Cheerleading National event this past weekend. The coaches are very proud of all the hard work, dedication and team spirit the cheerleaders have shown this season. These cheerleading competitions are one to two days of high-energy excitement. The teams compete in divisions determined by ages and ability levels. Each team gets 2.5
minutes on a spring floor to wow the judges with different types of tumbling, stunting, jumping and dance, to loud and exciting music. The ability to be lifted into the air or back handspring across the floor, all with an energetic smile, is amazing to watch. The cheerleaders also have the opportunity to meet and cheer on teams from all around the West. Each competition is an experience to remember. Competition cheer is a highly rewarding sport in which each cheerleader gains self-esteem, confidence and pride, along with valuable life skills that spill into their everyday lives. Spirit n’ Motion Athletic School prides itself on providing the Wood

River community with a safe and positive environment for individuals to develop themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and morally through cheerleading, gymnastics, stunting, jumping, dancing, and fitness.

‘DENT’ Talks Trust, Ethics BY P.M. FADDEN
Conference attendees aiming to “Dent the Future” filled seats in the Limelight Room of the Sun Valley Inn Monday morning. “Dent the Future 2015,” a gathering of individuals with aspirations at innovation, crosses industry delineations to foster networking and informational opportunities born of week-long workshops, presentations and interviews centered upon six key points: vision, people, design, process,
Craig Newmark on the state of journalism speakers/presenters Ann Marie Lipinski and Craig Newmark. Lipinski, media industry icon and curator to the Nieman Foundation for journalism at Harvard University, played interviewer to web-business guru and crusader for “trustworthy news,” Craig Newmark. The pair’s well-parlayed point-counterpoint style interview discussion was complemented by Newmark’s cleverly beguiling oratory charms. “Don’t call me a professional newsman,” asserted Newmark, speaking of
“A free and trustworthy press is a necessity. It must be used to inform good people of good will.”

focus and alchemy. Conference methodology presents warm professionalism melded with tech-savvy functionality. Scheduled opening stanzas consisted of host commentary from event organizers who welcomed a youthful, enthusiastic audience with outlines of conference features and speaker introductions. Taking the stage were
potential technology and societal influences on changes to news formatting. “The information discussed today comes from real-life experiences.” Responding to interviewer Lipinski, Newmark stressed a cornerstone of newsgathering and journalism. “A free and trustworthy press is a necessity,” said Newmark. “It must be used
to inform good people of good will.” Newmark, through supportive influences, hopes to aid in shaping the modern news landscape. “It is my wish to help persons/outlets that have a chance at restoring trust to journalism,” he said. Interview content further explored the concepts of “gossip” annews” in relation to evolution in objectivity and how this may factor into the news industry. Newmark’s thoughts addressed debate over “getting news first or getting news right.” “There are journalists who recognize that they need to get the story right ~ not fast,” said Newmark. Newmark’s sentiments bear upon the obligation of media networks to “serve the public interest” as well as question the consequences assessed, should such a media source fail to fulfill its responsibility. Emphasis was placed upon the importance of organizations such as the “Trust Project” ~ a Silicon Valley-based concern that focuses on ethics in Internet business, in the hopes that such efforts ultimately benefit the consumer. “An educated consumer is the optimal scenario,” Newmark said, though he expresses doubt at the likelihood of such a scenario today. “There is a high

potential, through linking and various levels through which a news piece passes, that the journalist’s story could experience change to something other than what was intended.” Looking forward, Newmark does offer ideas for an improved news future. “Better than criticism [for news], a system could be adopted that rates news content for accuracy and verifiable facts,” he suggested. “While there is vulnerability to such an idea, links could be associated with a writer’s research/findings. Though time-consuming for

the industry, these links would be verifiable and benefit the consumer. One proposal for an ethos of professional journalism could be transparency of information and sources.” When questioned on his role view in consumption of media content, Newmark responded with comments that echoed an ideology present, in general, throughout the “Dent the Future” conference. “I’m watching for something to be optimistic about,” answered Newmark. “The devil is in the details.” tws
Ron J. Williams at DENT BY YANNA LANTZ
Inspirational leaders, visionaries and geniuses were among the attendees to the 2015 Dent The Future Conference (DENT), held March 22-25 at the Sun Valley Resort. “Denters” saw many outstanding lectures, interviews and motivational talks on a plethora of themes from creativity to the pillars of start up success. DENT aims to delve into the magic, alchemy and science of innovative leadership and success. According to DENT’s website, the conference is “designed to raise questions and provide replicable answers about the ‘how’ of denting the universe from the leaders on stage.” Now, denting the universe may seem like a star too far out of reach for most, but the eloquent and experienced speakers broke down multiple tangible and attainable topics. One particularly striking lecture was led by “long-tail entrepreneur” Ron J. Williams. His talk was titled: “Big Impact, Small Budget: Unreasonably Effective Ways to build and market with Smarter Asks.” To open his 20-minute presentation, Williams asked, “Who here is work-
ing on building something right now?” Nearly the entire crowds’ hands shot up. Williams followed up with, “Keep your hands up if you have unlimited resources.” One hand remained and the crowd chuckled. “I’ve had my mind blown here by this conference several times…and I want to talk about ‘how do we get advocacy on a small budget,’” Williams commented. “The best stuff that is built is through collaboration.” He believes there’s no one path to success, but he trusts in a system of belief that feeds small organizations. The big idea for Williams is that if a person has a big idea and it’s worth building, it’s not theirs. Williams believes the idea belongs to the people they are building it for and with. “In the context of creativity, we love to think about the sole inventors who did it by themselves,” he said. “But, the crowd has gotten sentient ~ the crowd wants in and to participate. There’s a loss of opportunity when a person believes an idea is just theirs.” Throughout a series of poignant and pertinent slides, Williams displayed his charismatic, humorous

and native Brooklyn side. As a reinforcement of his talk’s concept, he told the audience, “When in doubt, you should always ask yourself what Jay-Z would say or do.” His next slide projected the lyrics from Jay-Z’s song Taken: “Well ~ we don’t believe you, you need more people.” And how does one find more people and support?
Th e W e e k l y S u n •
Focus on the people who are engaged and passionate about your company. According to Williams, the cost of retaining interest from involved participants is an astonishing 80 percent less expensive than acquiring newbies. He also sited a statistic about sending out personal emails using the receiver’s name, not just a Bcc and general “Hello.”
march 25, 2015
That way, the receiver is five times more likely to respond. Making yourself and your business vulnerable is invaluable, said Williams, because it makes you more likeable and approachable. “Find out WHY people like your business and focus on them,” Williams enforced. “They are your superstars!” tws

Chris, Matt and international recording superstar and music sensation Seal enjoy a moment on the beach
BUT, WE COULDN'T LEAVE YOU HANGING So, hopefully this will tide you over.
BCN FACT:
SENIOR MOMENTS Where did I leave my glasses?
I'd like to talk about something that is very important to me but nothing comes to mind.
I've slept and dreamed too long and now my thoughts are in italics. I'm older than everybody in the "Archie" comics. Wasting my life is taking forever. Regrets? I bought a zoo. But, then again, a zoo, as mentioned. TV: "If you have recently died, you may be entitled to compensation." I like to sleep 10 hours after taking a stimulant.
99% of socks are single and we don't see them crying about it.
ARIES: (March 21 - April 20) This week… oh, just take the week off. We are... T AURUS: (April 21 - May 21) At the beginning of the week, you'll find yourself on the crest of a slump. G EMINI: (May 22 - June 21) If you're not living on the edge this week, you're taking up too much space. C ANCER: (June 22 - July 23) It will be all right to feel inferior this week because you'll have many opportunities to prove it.
Butterfly tattoos are cool but when you're 70, they turn into condors.
L EO: (July 24 - August 23) If you need to have a little fun this week, go ahead and spend the children's inheritance.
I think that the trouble today is too many dirt roads have been paved over.
V IRGO: (August 24 - September 23) Happiness cannot bring you money this week.
Another day without going down the slides. The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up. If you want to appear younger, rent a kid for the day. I would wear pajamas all the time if it weren't for camera phones and the People of Walmart website. I just got 30 minutes of cardio trying to pick up an ice cube off the kitchen floor. I would call my fashion style: "Clothes that still fit." Never make eye contact while eating a banana. Just got a Cheerio® stuck between my toes walking through the kitchen. Clearly my dog isn't doing his part of the chores around here. The book that describes my entire life: "Well, That Didn't Work. An Autobiography." Don't grow up... It's a trap!
