One Doll’s Dream

BY YANNA LANTZ

hen Lara Spencer first opened The Dollhouse in 2006, her mission was clear: to create a boutique for women of all ages, shapes and sizes to have a comfortable but unique

Consignment with care

shopping experience that was fashionable, yet affordable. For nearly a decade, Spencer has done just that. However, The Dollhouse is a more than just a consignment boutique; it’s a place for community and personal growth. “I built this store for the

women of this community,” Spencer said. “We have clothing, but people use the store for more than that. There’s an underlying tone in this business that exudes healing, joy and positive body image.” What is the difference between a consignment

store and a thrift store? The biggest difference is seen in the quality of the merchandise and price. Items in a consignment store are hand picked and curated by the owner, for typically a higher price, while thrift stores accept donated items and are not as discerning.

“Don’t be afraid of the word consignment in my shop because of ‘sticker shock’ in a thrift store,” Spencer stressed. “We are now lower priced than some of the thrift stores, and I think what happens is CONTINUED on page 11

‘Unprocessed: A Closer Look At Real Food’ BY LIPTON FINE ARTS

ipton Fine Arts presents “Unprocessed: A Closer Look at Real Food” with photography by Paulette Phlipot. Award-winning food photographer, editor and cookbook co-creator Paulette Phlipot will present an exhibition of her work at Lipton Fine Arts in Ketchum from May 22– July 31. On Friday, May 29 from 5-8 p.m., Lipton Fine Arts will host a reception for “Unprocessed: A Closer Look at Real Food” with the Local Food Alliance. Lipton Fine Arts is allowing the Local Food Alliance access to the gallery, which incorporates the very essence of Phlipot’s photography and the mission of the Local Food Alliance. For Gallery Walk on Friday, July 10 from 5- 8 p.m., Lipton Fine Arts presents an opening exhibition with a silent auction benefit in conjunction with the Sun Valley Restaurant Association, Sun Valley Property News magazine and “Unprocessed: A Closer Look at Real Food.” Sarah Lipton will prepare food alongside the music and songs of Tyia Wilson. In a special collaboration with all proceeds benefiting The Hunger Coalition, Lipton Fine Arts has dedicated space for photographs of restaurants, food and chefs of the Sun Valley Restaurant Association. All proceeds from the silent auction of Phlipot’s images of Sun Valley Restaurant Association chefs and their prepared dishes will include bidding on an actual dinner, which has been photographed by Phlipot. “Having Paulette Phlipot’s stunning food photography and promoting the idea of food in its natural state with all its beautiful qualities is an eye-opening experience,” said Lipton Fine Arts owner, Gary Lipton. “Not only is Phlipot’s photography a work of art but so is her mission for living and eating well, which everyone can bring to their life.” “Unprocessed” is a show about food with dazzling perspectives through images, in which Phlipot expresses her fascination with real food. It’s a collection of her work as a photographer over the many years she has photographed food in Idaho, magnifying the beauty and simplicity and the sustainability of the real food grown in Idaho. The show will also feature images from the book Phlipot co-created, “Ripe: A Fresh, Colorful Approach to Fruits and Vegetables, ” which received numerous accolades. In addition, the show includes food photographs from the Sun Valley Restaurant Association highlighting the real food and real people behind the food in the Wood River Valley. “What I hope to accomplish with my imagery is to encourage others to slow down and think about the food they are consuming,” Phlipot said. “Question where your food comes from, how it was grown, how it was produced, how it has been altered from its original state and what has been added to it to preserve it. How has your food been changed from its original state, and what is it now? These colorful, enchanting photographs will make you happy and, perhaps, hungry.” Future exhibitions at Lipton Fine Arts will include drawings by author and illustrator Jo Rabjohn and works by Leslie Rego. For more information, call Gary Lipton at 248561-5120.

Early animation and its influence BY YANNA LANTZ

The dawn of the 20th century brought animation’s favorite poster boy, Mickey Mouse, into the homes of millions. However, early animation actually goes back to 17th-century magic lantern shows, which featured projections of images painted onto glass sides. The Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ newest exhibit, titled “Moving Pictures: Early Animation and Its Influence,” is currently on display through July 3. The exhibit takes a look at the history of animated films and its relationship to contemporary art. “Gretchen and Jay Basen’s generous offer to share their extraordinary collection with The Center was really the genesis for this exhibition,” said Courtney Gilbert, curator of visual arts. “At a time when almost all the animated films we see are made digitally, the cels [transparent sheets of celluloid or similar film material that can be drawn on, used in the production of cartoons] in the Basens’ collection will give us a chance to better understand the labor-intensive artistic work that went into early animated films.” Mediums in the exhibition include film, an installation and drawings ~ all deeply influenced by the historic animation process or by classic characters. Artists featured in the exhibit include Stas Orlovski, Shelley Jordon, Winsor McKay, Blakely Dadson and Susan Te Kahurangi King. Orlovski’s site-specific installation, “Wildflower,” is a true standout piece in the exhibition. It combines wall drawing, collage and a projection of a handdrawn animated film. “It’s a 22-minute loop and the moon is the one constant as it moves across the sky,” Gilbert said. “[Orlovski] talks about wanting

to make moving drawings, which I think is a really interesting way to think about animation. It brings together all the elements of the show ~ the history, the idea of the handwork of the animators ~ and it’s just very quiet and meditative with beautiful imagery.” In the viewing room is a project called “(Lost) in the Woods” by Jordon. The piece consists of three projected animations atop a wall painting, all set to two different soundtracks from collaborator Kurt Rohde. “[Jordon] came up with the imagery when she was on a residency in northern California, walking through the woods every day,” Gilbert said. Jordon and Rohde’s visual and aural experience explores journeys and what it’s like to feel lost on one. On Wednesday, May 6, at 5:30 p.m., The Center will host a free evening tour of “Moving Pictures: Early Animation and Its Influence.” Guests can enjoy a glass of wine in the gallery and a guided tour with The Center’s curators and gallery guides. Additionally, Gretchen and Jay Basen will be on hand to discuss their vast collection. Highlights from their assembly include a drawing of Gertie the Dinosaur from Winsor McCay’s 1914 animated film, as well as cels starring classic Disney and Warner Brothers characters. Since its start in the 17th century, animation has dazzled audiences of all ages and set more than just drawings in motion. “It’s a form of entertainment that appeals across the generations and everyone gets something different out of it,” Gilbert said. This exhibition is a fit for both kids and adults. For more information, visit sunvalleycenter.org or call 208-726-9491. tws

Sun Valley Half Marathon

Does that favorite vehicle in the garage need some work?

his year marks the 10th anniversary of the Sun Valley Half Marathon. The event will take place on Saturday, June 20. If some are not quite ready for a half marathon, a 10K and 5K are offered that day, as well. Adults and youth are welcome, and signups are now open for one of the Wood River Valley’s most scenic and fun runs. The race has been around for 10 years, with the YMCA taking over as the governing sponsor and organizer in 2011. Brad Mitchell, fitness director at the Wood River Community YMCA, had been operating the race as his own event after taking it over from the original race director. When Mitchell became employed at the Y, he offered to give the race to the Y as part of their programming in an effort to establish the YMCA as a community partner in health and wellness. The end result was a win-win for everyone. The half-marathon course is a loop format, starting and finishing at the Sun Valley Resort Pavilion lawn. Not only is the Pavilion

area the start and finish, but it is also the site of the YMCA Kids Zone, where there will be healthy activities for youth while runners are finishing the race. The course follows the bike path through Elkhorn, north through Ketchum to Hulen Meadows, returns to Saddle Road via the bike path, goes up and over Saddle Road to the Trail Creek path to the White Clouds subdivision, then pulls a U-turn and returns to the Pavilion lawn. All of the courses are available on the YMCA’s website. The half-marathon course is a beautiful, scenic run. “The course is challenging, scenic and safe,” Mitchell said. “It will challenge the fittest runners in the area and provide an opportunity for others to test themselves and their fitness level. If the distance is not to your liking, the 10K and 5K options are a challenge, as well.” The Half Marathon, the 10K and 5K races are a great way to get into running. “There are numerous health benefits to running ~ heart health, musculoskeletal health and weight control ~ but it is a sport of

patience and that is where we see people get fed up and decide they don’t like running,” Mitchell said. “The process cannot be rushed.” It will be a great event for the entire family and displays what the Wood River YMCA is all about. “This event is a good example of the Y’s commitment to healthy living and community outreach,” Mitchell added. “We are offering an event that promotes exercise and healthy lifestyle habits, as well as offering a place for youth to come participate in healthy activities such as the kids’ races, arts and crafts and, as always, a bouncy castle!” Entry fee for the half marathon is $60; the 10K is $40 and the 5K is $20. “The funds from race entries go into our programming budget,” Mitchell explained. “This line helps us offer numerous programs ranging from youth to adult and from the south Valley to the north Valley. Programs are found in the facility and in an outreach format.” Signups are open and available at the YMCA website, www.woodriverymca.org, or call the YMCA at 208-727-9622

Happy Mother’s Day

The Wild Gift That Keeps Giving

from

BY DICK DORWORTH

ob Jonas is a third generation Ketchumite, and his daughter, Nina, is the current mayor of Ketchum. Jonas grew up in the ’40s and ’50s skiing, hiking, climbing and exploring the surrounding mountains, and at an early age he received the inestimable gift of an appreciation of the natural world and wilderness through the process of the best educator of them all ~ personal experience. Though he took that appreciation into his work as a salmon fisheries biologist in Greenland and Alaska and a schoolteacher in the alternate real world of human society, Jonas was also an entrepreneur. He founded Sun Valley Trekking in 1982 and ran it for 20 years. When he sold SVT (he stayed on as a guide), he created Wild Gift to inspire young, dynamic future leaders. Each year Wild Gift, a Hailey-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, gives a year of intensive support to four or five young visionaries/entrepreneurs (ages 21-35) who seek to make a better world by creating innovative solutions for the many global challenges to a sustainable and healthy planet and the continuity of Homo sapiens. The 2014-2015 Wild Gift Fellows are Jon Duval, Tinia Pina, Leo Pollock and Michael Long.

“Each year Wild Gift gives a year of intensive support to four or five young visionaries/entrepreneurs who seek to make a better world by creating innovative solutions for the many global challenges to a sustainable and healthy planet and the continuity of Homo sapiens.” Jon Duval is a well-known local athlete (skier, hockey player, bicyclist and climber), journalist and executive director of the Ketchum Innovation Center. Duval is married to the recognized climbing guide, Melissa Arnot, who has climbed Everest five times. Duval’s social venture, LocalVote, was inspired by his journalism experience covering local governments and will increase public participation in the political process through an easy-to-use mobile application. Tinia Pina grew up in Virginia “…where healthy food was always available.” As an adult living in New York City, Pina realized “…working families often had little choice but to feed their kids high-calorie, low-nutrition fast food or the overpriced processed foods.” “I founded Re-Nuble to support development of a closedloop agriculture system that transforms the way we grow and distribute food,” Pina said. “My vision is a nation built on healthy farms, healthy communities and healthy families.” Leo Pollock of Rhode Island noted that nearly one-third of all Rhode Island garbage is compostable organic material. The Compost Plant “… will produce compost for a customer base that values a high-quality soil amendment, is committed to buying local and currently has no access to local compost at convenient volumes.” Michael Long calls himself a cross between a beach bum and a farm boy, because one of his divorced parents lived on the beach and the other on a farm. As an angry teenager, he wound up in the Florida juvenile justice system. His business, SailFuture, creates second chances for high-risk juveniles using ocean wilderness as its classroom. By using a large sailing vessel as an alternative to the costly and ineffective residential programs in place today, Long’s behavior modification model is built around three core components: education, counseling and global service. Four professional staff live onboard with 12 students for sixmonth expeditions. “Our goal is to truly transform the lives of the youth we serve and inspire the public and state agencies to believe that every kid deserves a second chance,” Long stated on wildgift.org. “Wild gift has announced the launch of its Climate Change Collective (CCC) fellowship, a new pilot program designed to promote collaboration between young visionaries who are creating breakthrough solutions to mitigate the impact of climate change through clean energy innovation.” Check out what’s happening at wildgift.org. tws

Vote May 19 City of Ketchum Water Bond Issue

Ketchum residents will vote May 19 on a $449,000 revenue bond issue for improvements to the municipal water system. Q. Why are the improvements needed?

Q. How will the bond issue affect property taxes?

The city operates two water distribution systems in the community core. The old pipelines were installed 50 or more years ago and have lasted well beyond their expected life. The city must repair many leaks each year, disrupting water service and costing more than $25,000 in some years.

There would be no effect on property taxes. The bond issue would be paid from fees charged to water customers.

As part of the proposed project, water meters would be installed for all customers. The old pipelines are unmetered and water users pay a flat rate.

Q. What is the cost, and who would pay it?

Q. How would this affect the average water bill?

A. A water rate increase to cover the loan payments is not anticipated. Abandoning the old water lines would reduce repair and maintenance costs that the city is already paying and these fees should be sufficient to repay the loan. If this project is not completed, water rates may increase because of increased repair costs.

A. The city is eligible to receive a State Revolving Fund loan for up to $449,000 through the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. The loan would be for 20 years at 2.75 percent interest and would be repaid from water rates.

passes, construction is anticipated for spring of 2016 through fall of 2017. The city would make every effort to complete the work within one season. However, this may not be possible as the city prohibits work in streets in the community core from July 1 through Sept. 15.

Q. How much disruption will there be to the average property owner?

A. City officials will make every effort to keep at least one traffic lane and sidewalks open at all times, although there may be a few brief periods when this is not possible. Interruptions in water service should be limited to a few hours.

Q. Will the project help water conservation?

The loan would not cover work performed on private property. Some properties would require excavation to reroute their water service lines from alleys to the water service stubs in front of properties. If the bond passes in May, the city intends to create a Local Improvement District (LID) to assist property owners with payments.

Q. How many water customers use the old system?

Property owners in the LID could pay for the work at the completion of construction or be assessed for the improvements through the Blaine County Assessor. Owners paying over time would be charged interest.

Q. Who is eligible to vote? A. All registered voters in

Property owners on the old water lines also could hire their own contractors rather than be included in the Local Improvement District. If owners elect to contract for the work themselves, the city still would provide a service line stub to their property line and a water meter and vault.

Q. What is the timetable? A. If the bond election

A. Approximately 200 of the city’s approximately 2,000 customers use the old lines. All customers are helping to pay disproportionate maintenance costs for the downtown area.

A. In addition to eliminating the use of leaking pipes, the project would promote water conservation by requiring all customers to have metered water rates. Ketchum was the first city in the Wood River Valley with metered water rates, rather than charging customers a fee based on the size of the connection, and metering has been shown to promote conservation. Ketchum has long been a leader in water conservation. It was one of the first cities in Idaho to begin charging large water users higher rates per gallon.

Ketchum are eligible to vote, whether or not they are water service customers.

Q. Are there Ketchum residents who are not water customers?

A. Some condominium residents are billed through their homeowners’ associations, rather than through individual meters. Some older properties also have private wells.

It’s Always More Fun in

ailey’s Hop Porter Park will host the annual Northern Rockies Music Festival Friday, July 31 and Saturday, August 1. The outdoor exposé of musical talent will celebrate its 38th year. Accompanying the festival’s musical lineup, the two days of down-home dancin’ goodness will feature beer and wine vendors, art exhibitions and food sales. “It’s not a commercial venture,” stated festival website information. “[The festival] is for the people, by the people.” “What we have is a friendly, casual atmosphere for music and family,” said Dana DuGan, volunteer board president and festival executive director. “This is friendly, family-oriented fun in the sun with the river nearby and a picnic on hand.” Originally the Northern Rockies Folk Festival, the event first put note to the wind in 1977 when the undertaking received direction via the then-Sun Valley Center for the Arts and Humanities. By 1995, the popular and ever-growing musical jamboree had declared its sovereignty and operated henceforth as an independent entity. Today, the Northern Rockies Music Festival is run by a nine-member volunteer board that actively promotes musicians in support of local community and area initiatives. “It’s important to the board that the festival continues to provide affordable family entertainment to the community,” DuGan said. “We’re located right beside the Big Wood River, giving festivalgoers access to hiking trails and a swimming hole while enjoying live music.” The NRMF pledges a welcoming stage to local, regional and national traveling musical talents with warm emphasis placed on up-and-coming musicians. Festival organizers are particularly enthused by the performance of much lauded Grove Valve Orchestra. Grove Valve’s affiliation with energy snack Clif Bar & Company has afforded a

pringtime in the Wood River Valley: sunshine, blue skies and warmer temperatures. It’s a great time to spruce up homes and gardens and to get a jumpstart on summer. Just in time is the Kiwanis Club’s second annual Home and Garden Show. It all takes place on Saturday and Sunday, May 16-17 at the Hailey National Guard Armory. Everyone is welcome and admission is free. There will be over 30 booths at the Home and Garden Show to help with upcoming projects. Additionally, there will be plenty of people to talk with, share ideas with and to purchase great items from to help out with new undertakings. “We have a variety of vendors,” said Lorna Hazelton, past president of the local Kiwanis Club, “from insurance to insulation, home repair, security systems, yard equipment, sprinkler systems and more. We have over 30 different vendors right now with room for a few more. The Kiwanis Club will also have a booth with hanging baskets, yard art, and plants for sale. There will be food available as well that will be provided by The Wicked Spud.” All proceeds from the show will go to Kiwanis Club projects; more specifically, the Foxmoor Park project in East Hailey. “All the equipment for this park has been removed because the equipment was no longer safe for kids to play on,” stated Bob Wiederrick, vice president of Hailey and Wood River Kiwanis. “The Kiwanis Club is providing up to $7,500 in matching funds to go toward the purchase of new equipment for this park.” Also on Saturday, at 11 a.m., there will be a Bike Safety Rodeo for children, put on by the Key Club of Wood River High School and sponsored by the Hailey Police. The Key Club is the high school arm of the Kiwanis Club. The first 75 children to participate will receive a new bike helmet. This will be held in front of the Armory. The Kiwanis Club is anticipating the same success they had last year. “Attendees and vendors alike had a great time,” stated Lorna Hazelton, pas president of the Kiwanis Club. “Attendees got a variety of booths to see and talk to the vendors about their upcoming projects. The vendors’ biggest remark was [about how] they got to present their products to a large variety of people in short amount of time. Everyone walked away with a smile.” If locals are unable to attend the Home and Garden Show but would like to donate to the Foxmoor Park project, send a donation to “Kiwanis Club of Hailey and the Wood River Valley, P.O. Box 901, Hailey, ID 83333” or simply stop by Mountain West Bank in Hailey and make a donation directly to their account. Hours for the Home and Garden Show are Saturday, May 16, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, May 17, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There are still a few spots for more vendors. If interested in participating, e-mail Lorna at lorna@peak-sales.com or call 208-720-6674. Additionally, visit the Kiwanis Club website at www.haileykiwanis.org for more information. tws

Alpine bakery & café re-opens

olished and pressed, the Konditorei Bakery & Café reopens its doors to meet the blossoming summer season. A fixture of the Sun Valley Village and Resort, the alpine-themed Konditorei offers fair trade gourmet coffees, delectable baked delights and a menu infused with American flare. “The Konditorei Bakery & Café is a hybrid experience with excellent baristas, casual dining and everything in between,” said restaurant manager, Matt Robinson. Robinson, whose previous positions included Trail Creek Cabin and the Roundhouse, is a nine-year veteran of Sun Valley Company. “The important role that the Konditorei plays in the community is thanks to outstanding team members, menu and atmosphere,” Robinson said. “Those are pieces equaling positive guest experiences. We put ourselves in the perspective of our guest. Our guest’s perspective is our reality.” Guests make the café and bakery part of their daily routines, so the Konditorei opens daily at 7 a.m., closing Monday through Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sunday by 4 p.m. A breakfast menu is offered until 11 a.m. ~ a 30-minute extension from previous hours ~ and Sunday’s à la carte brunch menu is a favorite among clientele. Menu listings are combinations of flagship plates with specialty dishes, rotatable by season and culinary impulse. Summer sees a steady presence of farm fresh produce and unique salads among menu items. “This is an exciting season for our menu,” Robinson said. “Dishes benefit from freshly harvested ingredients and specific flavors.

tweak the accompaniments and really go the extra mile for excellence. “We know that our locals enjoy events and something special, so we’re happy to announce a May 10th Mother’s Day brunch from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.,” Robinson added. “In addition, we will be creating specialty pastries and drink selections for Fourth of July celebrations and reinstating the popular Alpine Beer & Food Tasting.” Scheduled the last Friday of June through September, evening tastings usually see strong community response. The Konditorei estimates local residents account for 80 percent of guest attendance. “We see all of our guests as a kind of extended family,” Robinson said. Future Konditorei hopes build upon strong customer relations and consistent menu quality. Future programs intend to reward

customer loyalty while also generating positive environmental impact. “We are stepping toward implementing a loyalty program for coffee drinkers,” explained Robinson. “A ‘cup club’ would offer discounts while reducing waste. This would be just one part of a larger move to more green practices. The Konditorei takes seriously its responsibility to help lower waste emissions.” The Konditorei will, throughout the summer, continue to develop its clientele and menu and promote environmentally conscious living. “We’re a restaurant for people in love with food and in love with life,” Robinson said.

people hear the word consignment and assume that it will be really expensive. I don’t operate that way. This is about love, not about money.” All of The Dollhouse’s clothing comes from local consignments, and the business is so popular that Spencer is usually booked out a month in advance to accept new items. She can process hundreds of articles of clothing in a day, but an appointment only takes a couple of minutes for the customer. The process teaches valuable lessons to local youth.

“When I fist started, a lot of the Community School girls in seventh grade started to consign ~ mission being: learn how to manage your money, learn how to value your product,” Spencer explained. “Now, they’ve come back from college and have said, ‘Do you know how much this has transferred to the rest of my life?!’” In Spencer’s Dollhouse, every doll is valued. The store is decorated with positive artwork and phrases such as “I’m perfectly imperfect.”

Caritas Chorale Presents Spring Concert On the weekend of May 9-10, Caritas Chorale will present a concert of newer American works under the direction of musical director, R.L. Rowsey. The concert will feature works composed by several of Mr. Rowsey’s musical friends including local musical icon, Jim Watkinson. The concerts, featuring the all-volunteer community chorale, will take place at 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10 at St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Sun Valley Road in Ketchum. The concerts are free and open to the public. As always, donations are gratefully accepted to help support the ongoing programs of this community chorale. “This is going to be a delightful chamber concert,” said Rowsey. “The opportunity to hear newer works sung in an intimate setting by a wonderful choral ensemble is a perfect way to spend the early evening during the spring.” With many Caritas members traveling during the spring, the concert has been designed specifically to suit the smaller “chamber” version of the chorale; 35-40 voices will sing these wonderful new works. With this concert, Caritas continues its year of exploring the American voice of choral work. Visit the Caritas website, caritaschorale.org, for more information about all of the chorale’s upcoming events. For more information, please contact R.L. Rowsey, music director, at rlrowsey@gmail.com or 208-720-7909 This entrance sign shows the spirit Spencer offers to those who come to her store, whether to shop, seek advice or simply hang out.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR MAY 6 FROM PICABO ANGLER

artly cloudy with a chance of rain is in the forecast for this week. This should bring about a return of heavy Baetis hatches to the Big Lost River. The only issue is that the flows on the Big Lost have been cranked up beyond 400 cfs, a measurement that means one cubic foot of water flowing past a specific point. This makes the access very spotty and congests the few anglers into the limited fishable spots on the river. The upper Big Lost is also coming up quickly and mimicking the flows on the Big Wood. There may be some pockets to explore with streamers, but the fishery is not in the best shape for fishing. Perhaps the best local fishery that is open right now would be the Little Wood River. The salmon flies are on the cusp of trickling off in the desert stretch, and that should bring some fish up. All in all, this week should be dedicated to a few things. The first is reservoir fishing. Despite the closures and spring runoff, Magic Reservoir is producing the most consistent large fish we’ve seen in 20 years or more. If you want to break into stillwater fishing, now is the time! The second thing to look at would be ice-off on the mountain lakes. Start with low-elevation lakes and follow the ice-off on higher lakes as we enter the warm summer months. This can be ridiculously good fishing if you can time it right. Lastly, the best thing you could be doing right now is getting ready. Opening day is only a few weeks away. Get new lines on your reels, fill your fly boxes with brown drakes and stoneflies, patch your waders and get new soles on your boots. There is never a shortage of things to do to get ready ~ including getting your vehicle ready. Fresh tires, new oil, the rod racks you’ve been meaning to get are all things to work on right now. There is a lot of excitement about the brown drake hatch this year, as most anglers are holding to the notion that the hatch will again come off very early. We don’t see any reason not to concur with this train of thought. Keep your eyes on our blog, www.picaboangler.com, over the next few weeks as we begin to kick up some drake nymphs and take a stab at predicting this awesome event. We’ll be sure to keep everyone updated and ready for the first big event of the season. Happy Fishing Everyone!

Good Money, Chewing Gum, Old Pipes

Chapter One Bookstore

By Brennan Rego

n “Vegas Vacation” (1997), Chevy Chase—as family man Clark Griswold—gets himself into a hot mess at the Hoover Dam while on a family trip to the Las Vegas area. Chase’s character picks at part of the dam while on a tour of the facility and causes a leak. He attempts to fix his goof with a piece of chewing gum, only to cause more and more leaks to spring out of nowhere. He then proceeds to play a losing game of Whac-A-Mole against all the drips and drizzles. To view the scene, visit www. tinyurl.com/tws-gum. On May 19, Ketchum voters will have a chance to choose between continuing a chewinggum-style approach to their municipal water system or plunging toward a fresher future. The city is asking residents to approve a proposed $450,000 water revenue bond. The loan would last 20 years at an interest rate of 2.75 percent. Ketchum would use the money to help city water users located in the community core and on Lewis Street switch from the city’s old water system to its newer pipes, which are already in place. The city’s old system, the Ketchum Springs system, can no longer handle the pressure of its users’ current water demands. It breaks down often, is expensive to maintain and is too old to merit continued maintenance. But, transferring users to the new system isn’t free. Paying now to help users switch over to the

veryone’s invited, so settle in. Let’s get to know more of our community friends. If books are to be thought of as treasures, then Chapter One Bookstore is in the business of vending jewels. Comfortably located at 340 2nd St., in Ketchum, Chapter One is home to thousands of new and previously enjoyed titles. Authors of the very books found on Chapter One shelves are often found relaxing in the store’s cozy seats. Book lover and shop owner Cheryl Thomas has enjoyed the evolution of the store, along with the town of Ketchum that surrounds it. “The store originally opened in 1970, and though it has changed hands several times, it has always had a family business feel,” Thomas said. Thomas, whose family lives in the area, shifted to shop ownership in 1991. “Aside from myself, we have a fantastic staff who enjoy a variety of book tastes,” Thomas said. “This helps to strengthen our selection for the community.” Chapter One prides itself on community involvement. The store was a founding influence on the Sun Valley Wellness Festival. When the Dali Lama visited, Chapter One gave away 10,000 tickets for the event. Resident author and Chapter One aficionado Charles Brandt opines, “A local bookstore is crucial to the well-being of any community.” Chapter One strives to fit that bill. Thomas’ love of books lives in her succinct words. “I can’t imagine humanity without books,” she said. So there you have it, and now you know. That’s one more degree bringing us closer home.

new pipes will cost less in the long run than continuing to maintain the aging Ketchum Springs system. Plus, the city will not only save money, but also water since the old pipes are much more prone to leaks. Let’s stop the flow of good money into bad pipes. It’s time to end the chewing-gum approach and vote yes for the water bond on Tuesday, May 19.

If I Were A Cyborg

Here Comes The Sun

BY YANNA LANTZ

If I were a cyborg – the things I would do! What I would accomplish, if you only knew. Tables of elements would swim in my head, Copper, plutonium, hydrogen, and lead. Oh, if I were a cyborg, what would I be? A change to serve endless humanity. I’d tackle world hunger, cancer in stride, And be able to tell if the President lied.

Hydration, defecation, and anger I’d lack, With only the change to give the world something back. If I were a cyborg, what would I wear? I certainly wouldn’t need to tend to my hair. When you’re made of metal, wire, and glass, Others look to you, without any sass. They’d tell me their riddles, questions in store, And pray that I’d help them, for just one day more. If I were a cyborg, I’d be master of dance. I’d show off the steps from Egypt and France. People would ogle my precision with glee, Beg and scream, “You need to teach me!” But if I were a cyborg, how would I feel, The things around me, that are now so real. Would I wonder at the stars in their majestic glory? Or have no use for allegory? Would my imagination still be vast? Or just a childish thing of the past? I wont be a cyborg, no, not today, Cause goodness know, I’d rather play. So maybe next year, or the year after that, When curiosity has ceased, and inspiration gone flat.

Wise words from designer Vivienne Tam at the annual Met Gala on Monday, May 4 in New York City.

know the world is in turmoil; I grieve for all the innocents who suffer from the litany of natural disasters, war and religious and other kinds of intolerance. I respect the sadness around me. Every morning I pray that the world can be just even a tad better before the next morning. But the sun has been out all week. I know it is premature to pack away my ugly dog-foray boots; I know it is too early to trade in my old barbecue for a smaller one befitting my simpler lifestyle. I know that it is premature to start filling my very tiny deck with the colors I love... reds, yellows, blues and hot Mexican combos to catch my sight all summer. I know it is only the last day of April as I write this. I am not stupid. However, in just an hour or so, today I was reminded of the JoEllen Collins—a longblessings we can time resident of the Wood experience, here River Valley—is a teacher, and now, as we are so fortunate to writer, fabric artist, choir member and unabashedly live in a free society (despite my proud grandma known as quarrels with it). “Bibi Jo.” As of this minute, no one is breaking down my door because of politics. I am a free, older woman who has fought hard in life to, as Mama said, “leave the world a bit better for your having been there.” I recognize the futility of my joy in the face of the world’s tragedies. But the sun is out today. I have just returned from a tail-wagging run at the dog park out Warm Springs. I have talked since with a good friend, and am about to finish a terrific book by an Idaho author, Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony Doerr. His saga recreates the horrors of the ’40s in the lives of two children in Europe, but I also delighted in his use of metaphor and crystal images to convey this magical account of two innocents in those times. So even in the accounts of a horrible reality, I found joy in the artist’s interpretation. In the movie “Timbuktu,” which I hesitate to recommend because it is so devastating, I could find a pure sense of love in the portrayal of a family caught in a society we, as Americans, can’t hope to understand. If we can all remember the humanity we share, perhaps there is hope. But I am sitting here in the sun and seeing small sprouts of grass emerging from winter. Walt Whitman, even in his anguish at the death of soldiers in the Civil War, spoke of the grass that covered graves in these terms (if you have a chance, read “Section 6 of “Song of Myself”): “I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green stuff woven.” I do await the smells and sounds of fresh grass being cut under the gentle skies of one of my favorite places in the world. My disposition today is to cherish the moments under the sun which I am experiencing this second, this minute ~ this sense of being alive! tws

Join The Fight

Idaho Drug Free Youth Leader Izaac Easterday Courtesy photo

Clean Living BY JONATHAN KANE

zaac Easterday, a senior at Wood River High School, believes in living clean. For the last four years he has taken part in Idaho Drug Free Youth and is now vice president of the organization and a leader within the group. He also had the honor of being named one of nine students to the statewide Youth Advisory Board. Having grown up in Burley, Easterday moved to the Wood River Valley for his freshman year. “Burley was a lot of fun but I was a pretty shy kid,” Easterday said. “When I moved up here, I learned a lot about leadership skills. In Burley, I also learned to be independent, because for a while I was taken from my mother and lived with my grandparents. It feels good to be independent and to rely on myself. I can solve problems now rather than look to other people.” Easterday’s father lives in the Valley so he decided to give it a try, because his sister had already moved here and loved it. “There are a lot more opportunities here ~ especially in education,” he said. “Plus, the people here weren’t as snobby as I thought they would be. They were really cool.” For activities, Easterday throws himself into community service, as well as football and “whatever there is to do outside.” “I live in Bellevue and thought it would be boring but it’s actually really beautiful and I really love it now,” he said. Because it wasn’t available in Burley, Easterday joined IDFY as a freshman at Wood River. “A friend told me about it,” Easterday said. “He said if I was against drugs and wanted something to do, I should come to a meeting. So I did and I loved it. Basically, we do a lot of community service and fun things while promoting a healthy lifestyle. We have taken trips to a Utah Jazz game, a BSU football game and a Steelheads hockey game.” There are about 20 people in the IDFY group and they meet twice a month on Wednesday to discuss projects and future activities. “Next week is alcohol awareness week in an effort to show teens why not to drink,” Easterday said. “Each day we’ll have a different event. Wednesday, 10 IDFY students will be quiet for the whole day so we can experience what it would be like to not have that person in your life if they were to be taken away from us. On May 23, we will have our big reality party. We rent a house every year and put on a play of what could go wrong at a youth party where there is drinking and drugs. We have tour guides that lead the parents and kids through the house and they watch the scenes play out. At the end, a policeman shows up and talks to everyone about the dangers of hosting such a party. “I think it’s working great,” Easterday said. “Every year more people show up and we are making a bigger and bigger impact. It’s a big problem in the Valley. I feel, as a leader, I can set an example for younger kids and show them what’s right and wrong.” 16

The Advocates ETC

Gender Revolution BY BRADY DELGADILLO

ender inequality is a significant issue in modern American society. Researchers have consistently proven that the wage gap continues to be uneven and gender stereotypes persist. Recently, the Institute for Women’s Policy Research concluded that although women are more likely to have a college degree than men, women have higher rates of poverty and lower earnings than men. Considering this, The Advocates’ youth activists decided to research gender equity on a micro level at Wood River High School (WRHS). The research was conducted by The Advocates’ ETC [Every Teen has a Choice] teen interns, with guidelines from the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence. The data concluded that gender inequality was present at WRHS. Clubs and Advanced Placement (AP) classes were female dominant, while the leadership positions for the 2013-2014 academic year were male dominant. Along with researching gender equity in our school, we also focused on another major issue in today’s society: power-based violence and policies to prevent it. Each of the seven youth activists asked one teacher and five students if they knew that we had a response and prevention policy for abusive relationships and sexual assault and, if so, how they were educated about it. None of the surveyed students knew that a policy for such an issue even existed, while the teachers knew it existed but were mostly unaware of the official procedure. The students and teachers are not at fault for this lack of knowledge. After a discussion with our Wood River High School social worker, Julie Carney, we found out that the high school is currently working on a social-emotional learning curriculum to implement in the high school for next year. This will include all ninth-grade students going through the Safe Dates program and all 10th-grade students attending the Green Dot training. Both curriculums will be taught by The Advocates staff. They will address issues such as healthy relationships, abuse, power and control, bullying and bystander intervention. Although this

is not a set prevention policy, we believe these are both excellent, nationally researched programs to add for the students. Power-based violence and gender inequity are not frequently talked about and may even be uncomfortable to voice an opinion about. However, not talking about violence does nothing to end it. It is the inquisitiveness and boldness of each individual to question prevention policies and discuss social injustices that ultimately sparks positive change. This article was written by WRHS junior Brady Delgadillo, a member of the ETCs teen interns for The Advocates, a Hailey-based nonprofit whose mission is to teach people of all ages how to build and maintain healthy relationships.

‘Monkey Kingdom’

BY JONATHAN KANE

Monkey Business

isney’s nature documentary, “Monkey Kingdom,” follows the lives of a pack of Macaque monkeys deep in the forests of Sri Lanka. Like the previous films in the Disneynature series, proceeds from the opening week box office will go toward conservation efforts. Also similar to its predecessors, this film takes spectacular nature photography and places a narrative story on the lives of the animals we are observing. Directed by Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield, “Monkey Kingdom” is a story about the perseverance of a female named Maya and her fight to create a better world for her newborn son, Kip. Maya’s misfortune is to be at the bottom of the monkey social scale. She lives in fear of the alpha male, Raja,

and the three powerful sisters that rule the extended family. But change is in the air. The monkeys lose their homestead, Castle Rock, to an invading clan and are forced to go on the run into the city. There, they regroup and, with the help of Maya’s mate, Kumar, they retake Castle Rock. In the process, Maya climbs in social status and becomes one of the leaders of the clan. Tina Fey, who gives a light-handed touch to the proceedings, narrates the movie. As with all these films, the filmmakers will impose a story on the action, even though they are essentially observers. Here, they have done an adequate job, although not as well as some of the other highlights in the series. But, the film is for kids and they will delight in the antics of the protagonists. It’s a great way

Q&A COMPUTE CORNER Protecting Your Computer from Viruses (Malware) is More Complicated These Days

Hailey firefighter

BY KRISTY HEITZMAN

Windows based machines should have 2 forms of protection, including a standard anti-virus program coupled with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware. - Although Windows 8.1 includes some defense, I recommend AVG Cloudcare as your primary protection. AVG is able to stop and remove most infections on its own, including older more traditional malicious code. Available through Q&A Compute - Malwarebytes specializes in dealing with the newest emerging threats. (malwarebytes.org)

Mac users are not safe without protection either. However Mac's don't need multiple malware tools just yet. - I recommend having some sort of anti-virus protection such as Sophos (sophos.com). If your computer is infected or you have questions regarding protection, please do not hesitate to call.

no bones about it

Just A Family Pet? BY FRAN JEWELL

am from the world of competition dogs that also contribute to the community. For many years all my dogs were involved in search and rescue and pet therapy, but also American Kennel Club (AKC), United Kennel Club (UKC) and SV Conformation (the club for German shepherd dogs), obedience, agility, sheepherding and tracking. I felt that I owed it to my dogs to do something with them because of their talents. Not that I wish to toot my own horn here, but somewhere along the line I starting feeling like this was something I had to do! More and more, though, I starting hearing, “My dog is just a pet. He doesn’t have to do those things.” While our beloved pet doesn’t need to win any obedience shows, the role of a pet dog is more important than any other dog. The pet dog lends an ear to a child who was picked on at school, or waits patiently by the front door when the clock says it’s time for you to come home from work. He is always ready to go anywhere with you for a ride, even just to the grocery store. And he must be kind to every person and dog he meets. The role of a pet is far beyond that of any obedience champion! Because of that, there are important things to think about for your pet to fit into your home and for you to keep him safe. The first thing to consider is to identify things that are life threatening for any dog. What are those? Jumping on the counter is one. If a dog grabs a knife with meat flavor on it, it can be life threatening. Not coming when he is called can be life threatening. We surely don’t want him to get lost on hikes, eaten by predatory animals in our wonderful national forests or hit by a car when he decides to run across the street to greet another dog ~ or a squirrel! Jumping on people can be life threatening to people. If a large dog jumps on someone with an invisible disability, it can knock him or her over, causing serious injury, which you then become liable for! Pulling hard on a leash can lead your dog to pulling you or your children over, causing injury

that requires surgery or months of physical therapy. And, bolting through a door or out of the car could cause him to be hit by a car. These are the things I consider extremely important. It’s also important to know that clear and fair structure helps our dog to feel safe and comfortable. Dogs without any structure can become overly anxious. That anxiety can become full-blown separation anxiety, which may cost you thousands of dollars in repair bills or veterinary bills. I have seen dogs rip the sheetrock off of the wall, break windows or tear up all the carpet in a house when they are left alone. There are preventative things you can do to avoid such anxiety. The best way to remedy all of this is to teach your wonderful pet dog his manners the second he comes to live with you. No puppy is too young to learn, and old dogs can learn new tricks! Teaching the basics of sit, down, come, off and loose leash walking is really the key to owning a wonderful pet dog that you enjoy his entire long life. Teaching obedience skills becomes our communication tool and can actually develop a closer bond with your dog.

Vase Flower

Clematis hirsutissima BY LESLIE REGO

his past Saturday, in the late afternoon, I hiked Taylor Canyon Loop. Last year around this time, I hiked this trail and came upon a field of vase flowers (Clematis hirsutissima). This year, as I began my hike I yearned for the same sight. It was what is called the golden hour, or what is sometimes referred to as the magic hour when the light

is very soft and diffused. The landscape acquires a soft golden color and everything looks as if it were glowing. As I hiked, it soon became apparent that it was still early in the season. The soft bedraggled look of winter was discernible throughout the canyon. The sagebrush still had not perked up and the leaves on the trees were just barely beginning to unfurl. But the disheveled remains of winter were alluring. As I walked, I observed many early spring sights. There were rivulets flowing throughout the meadows, which the summer heat had not dried up. These little streams ~ flowing with cool spring waters ~ were a verdant oasis for plants thriving in this moist environment. There were also tufts of grass beaten down by the winter winds, but poking out through the center were green shoots of new grass. The soft green against the winter brown provided a lovely contrast of color. At one point during the hike, I saw the beginnings of giant hyssop mint. But at this time of year the plant was not giant at all! The leaves were so delicate and tender. I crushed a leaf with my fingers and was amazed at the sweet minty smell, which gently wafted forth. Later in the summer, the leaves will be much thicker and will give off an earthy, strong mint smell. And then just when I was beginning to think that I was truly too early to see the vase flower, I came upon a grouping of a few T h e W e e k ly S u n •

young leaves just beginning to unfurl. Curiously, I explored the leaves further and was able to just see the soft lavender buds of the vase flower peeking out amongst the leaves. I had never seen the plant in this stage before. Had I not looked more carefully, I would have passed right by. The leaves hugging the bud, barely noticeable at this point, entranced me. The transition of winter into spring, with the skeletal remains of winter and the lush beginnings of new life, is a time of contrasts of shapes and colors, which offer constant enjoyment.

Empowerment of Women Silvercreek Art

BRIEFS

1st Annual I Love Hailey Truck Raffle

Silvercreek Art presents a special exhibition, “Empowerment of Women,” with a reception featuring women and art as well as music, food, wine and a body-painting event from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, May 6, with music by Tyia Wilson and healthy, organic, delectable appetizers catered by Tara Jensen. “Empowerment of Women” includes photography by Sue Dumke and Marybeth Flower and paintings by Christine Warjone and Judy Pittman. In addition, the gallery features work by Joe Bauwens and George Gund whose photographs represent the beauty and inspiration of Mother Earth. “My photography has taught me to slow down and really see,” Flower said. “Seeing not only helps visually but also assists in understanding social nuances. Since I do not have children, I view my artwork as my legacy.” The gallery will also feature photographs by Amanda Nagy. Nagy presents her series, “Sheer,” which showcases 11 images derived from her meditation and thoughts on fear. Featured guest artist for the Silvercreek Art reception will be Maggie Allen. Allen will present new paintings on Norse Valkyries as well as her unique body painting technique that she and photographer Ellise Lesser create as “Living Paintings” in New York City using a human body as canvas to create the illusion of a painting. Silvercreek Art gallery is located at 331 Sun Valley Rd. in Ketchum and is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment. For more information about Silvercreek Art, visit www.silvercreekart. com, email info@silvercreekart.com or call 208-720-4093.
