Larry Schoen On Making Difficult Decisions BY DICK DORWORTH

Larry Schoen is 59 years old and has been consciously active in helping make the world a better place for at least 45 of them. On April 22, 1970, Schoen and some of his classmates from Langley High School near Washington, D.C., walked the several miles to school to participate in the first Earth Day demonstrations, which many people consider the birth of the modern environmental movement. Today, Schoen is serving his fourth term as a Blaine County Commissioner. Since 1960, only two other people in Blaine County history, Ray Sweat and Rupert House, have won four elections as commissioners and Schoen is understandably “pretty proud” that his constituents continue to support his ability to what he terms “…maintain humility while making difficult decisions.” Growing up in the ’60s and ’70s era of Vietnam, Richard Nixon, protest music and demonstrations like Earth Day made an impression on Larry Schoen and he considers himself “…a product of that time and its upheavals.” After graduating from Langley High School (which is less than a mile from CIA headquarters), Schoen spent two years at Middlebury College in Vermont before transferring to the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he earned an undergraduate degree in biology. After that he earned a master’s degree from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, in New York City, one of the most prestigious journalism schools in America. He later spent a year studying business at Columbia without earning a degree. From his first visit to the West in 1975, Schoen knew he was “destined to

be a Westerner,” but it took awhile before he settled into the Wood River Valley. He first lived in Ketchum in 1986 before returning to New York City to continue covering the news for ABC News and the Financial News Network, then to England where he was involved in launching an independent film and video news agency. In 1991 Schoen moved to the Wood River Valley permanently and bought a ranch south of Gannett. “The next thing I knew I was farming,” he says, “and I learned to farm from scratch.” He credits his journalism training with allowing him to learn to become a farmer. “Journalism taught me to ask questions and keep asking them,” said Schoen. His first crop was 25 acres of hard red wheat. Soon after he learned to be a farmer, Schoen got “roped into” politics when the fact that the local fire district refused to protect Blaine County farmland from fire became a hot political issue. As a consequence of his involvement and the thoroughness of his questioning skills, Schoen wound up serving eight years on the Carey Rural Fire Protection District Board of Commissioners, which annexed his area. He also served for many years on the Blaine County Planning and Zoning Commission. As a county commissioner, Schoen sees that one of Blaine County’s biggest challenges is continuing to maintain a balance between anti-growth/protecting the natural environment and pr o - g r ow t h /s u s t a i n a ble economy while still maintaining a high quality of life for its human population. Schoen lives on and continues to farm his ranch near Gannett with his wife, Rebecca, and twin 14-yearold children. tws

Sun Valley Lodge Reopens

Road apple roulette Page 6

SOUL SPOTS Pages 12-13

Resort spokesman Jack Sibbach and spa director Tiffany Cameron pose in the ladies’ relaxation room in the Sun Valley Lodge’s new 20,000-square-foot spa. The Lodge features numerous works of art by local artists, including “Four Seasons” by Leslie Rego (shown above—hand-dyed, painted and stitched tapestry, 90” x 41”). Photo by Brennan Rego

The Lodge reopened on Monday after being closed for construction since last fall. The new pool retains the classic look of the original, but includes a new fire pit and hot tub, more comfy seating and a new poolside café. Photo by Brennan Rego

The Lodge now has 94 rooms, down from the original 148, ranging from 400–950 square feet. Sixty-five of the rooms have fireplaces and the new rooms also feature spa-like bathrooms with soaking tubs and walk-in showers. The bathrooms are three times the size of the originals. Photo by Brennan Rego

The Lodge features several new spacious suites, including the “Marilyn Monroe Suite” and the “Clint Eastwood Suite.” Photo by Brennan Rego

The resort completely redesigned the bowling alley, giving it a fresh and suave new look, but maintaining the fun, funky, colorful atmosphere of the space. The bowling alley is now accessible by a new elevator from the first, second and third floors. Photo by Brennan Rego

Party time! The bowling alley is larger now and has six regulation-length lanes, foosball and pool tables, video games and a family-friendly bar menu. It also opens much earlier than before, now at 11 a.m. The space is perfect for birthday or other parties, social gatherings and date nights. Photo by Brennan Rego

The resort has shuffled some of the vintage photos that have always lined the Lodge’s hallways. Those who haven’t taken a gander lately should check out the new shots during a tour of the building. The resort has conducted over 500 tours since Monday and is offering them to the public from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday – Thursday. Those interested in scheduling a tour should call the Lodge’s concierge desk at 622-2097. Photo by Brennan Rego

The spa addition features state-of-the-art workout equipment. One hundred spa memberships are available at $2,000 per year. Day passes—which give access to the pool, exercise room, sauna and steam room—are available for $50. Also, all spa treatments include a day pass. Photo by Brennan Rego

Relay For Life Of Blaine County Takes Place This Weekend There’s still time to sign up or donate to a great cause

BY MARIA PREKEGES

t’s almost time for the Relay For Life of Blaine County, and the good news is, it’s not too late to sign up, get involved, and raise money for a wonderful cause. The Relay For Life of Blaine County takes place this coming weekend at the Wood River High School track, at 950 Fox Acres Rd. The Relay starts at 7 p.m. Friday, June 19, and goes through 7 a.m. Saturday, June 20. You can sign up as a participant all the way through the start of the event on the Relay For Life website: relayforlife.org/ blainecountyid or you can even register at the event itself. ‘Each year, more than 4 million people in over 20 countries raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer through the Relay For Life movement,’ states the Blaine County Relay For Life website. The Relay For life is an organized, overnight community fundraising walk where teams of people camp

out around a track. Members of each team take turns walking around the track. There are special events that take place throughout the evening at this fun, family-friendly event. Some of the highlights of the night include a survivors lap and the luminaria ceremony. All are welcome to the event, even if you’re not participating. Janie Swanson, Relay event chair, states: “The public is more then welcome [to] enjoy the experience, community [and] celebrations, bring the family, play some games and have some food. No need to plan dinner Friday night!” Some of the highlights of the night include the survivor dinner that starts at 6 p.m. All cancer survivors, as well as their caregivers, are welcome. “The survivor dinner is free and the hope is that as many survivors as possible can come out,” said Swanson. The opening ceremonies, as well as the survivor lap and team introductions, take place at 7 p.m. The walk then officially begins

and will go all night. At 10 p.m. there will be the luminaria celebration. “It’s a very moving ceremony that everyone should experience,” said Swanson. There will be other activities throughout the night, like an ice cream social, pizza truck, Zumba, bra pong, lap beads, midnight meal, yoga, and lots of other games and food. Funds raised for the Relay For Life go to the Idaho branch of the American Cancer Society. “It is then divided between the different programs supported,” said Swanson. “A great deal of the funds go to Idaho-based research to prevent and cure cancer. Other funds go to programs such as ‘Look Good, Feel Good,’ ‘Hope Lodging,’ ‘Road to Recovery’ and many other American Cancer Society-supported research and patient-assistance programs.” This Wednesday, June 17 at 6 p.m., the Blaine County Relay For Life will be hosting Wicked Wednesday at The Wicked Spud in Hailey. “This is our bank night or last night to collect individual fundraising,” said Swan-

It’s A Privilege To Pee BY YANNA LANTZ

sk someone around town, “What is Urinetown?” and they are likely to gape their mouths in shock or look extremely perplexed. Nevertheless, the satirical musical Urinetown is about exactly what it sounds like; there is a two-decade water shortage and people have to pay to pee. St. Thomas Playhouse opens the show today, Wednesday, June 17 at 7:30 p.m. and the production runs through June 20. All performances start at 7:30 p.m. in the Community School theatre. Tickets are available online at stthomasplayhouse.org. Urinetown is a three-time Tony Award-winning musical and truly an ensemble production – the cast members rarely leave the stage. The musical explores some darker topics, such as the planet’s sustainability, corruption and humanity’s ability to adapt. Yet, the script keeps everything light with a laugh-a-minute libretto and score. “It’s been a thrill to be a part of a show that demands so much energy and enthusiasm,” said Sam Brown, who plays the rebel leader, Bobby Strong. Brown is a recent Wood River High School graduate and was elected class president, fitting for the role. “It’s scary – because something can go wrong so easily – but that’s also the fun part.” Part of St. Thomas Playhouse’s Summer Theater Project for young adults, this undertaking combines the talents of local aspiring actors with professional mentors and a seasoned artistic team. “I am so lucky to have a cast as wonderful and hilarious as ours,” said Annabel Webster, a 15-year-old Community School sophomore who plays the quirky ingénue, Hope, in the production. “Everyone in the cast and crew is doing everything they can to make this show incredible.” Webster and Brown have been participating in the St. Thomas Summer Theater Project for years but, according to them, this production feels special. “It’s totally different from anything I’ve ever done,” Webster exclaimed. “Urinetown is absolutely genius;

everything about the show is smart and hilarious. Being in this show has sort of brought me back to being a kid again.” Fellow cast member Anik Zarkos, age 14, agrees. “I would describe this experience as nothing I’ve ever done before in the best sense,” said Zarkos, who plays Little Sally, the co-narrator and precocious street urchin with an impressive vocabulary who constantly questions the play’s logic. “The most challenging part has really been the technical stuff, like the harmonies and choreography.” The play’s musical score features numbers that poke fun at Broadway standards such as Les Misérables, Chicago and West Side Story. Notable numbers include “Privilege to Pee,” “Don’t Be the Bunny” and “Run, Freedom, Run.” The characters in the show are extremely aware that they are in a musical and often talk to the audience directly. “Although it’s been difficult for me, it’s made me so much more confident in myself,” Webster said. Brown feels extremely lucky to be a part of St. Thomas Playhouse’s programming for young adults. “Working with STP has been amazing,” said the talented young actor. “They’ve given me the opportunity to share myself with others in so many ways: working at Company B, going to SPACC (Summer Performing Arts Conservatory Camp) and being a part of the various theatre productions. All of the opportunities give me so much drive to continue doing what I love.” Webster agreed. “Summer Theater Project is an amazing experience for me,” she added. “It enables me to do what I love while maturing and growing as a person. It gives me a really safe environment where I can experiment with new ideas.” Don’t miss this unique production with a stellar cast of young adults and mid-twenties mentors. Urinetown runs through June 20. Visit stthomasplayhouse.org for more information. The Community School theatre is located at 1 Community School Drive, Sun Valley. tws

Business to bring new jobs to city By MARIA PREKEGES

ser Interface User Experience (UiUx), a startup software company, will expand its operations into Ketchum. The company will lease office space in the Ketchum Innovation Center and is slated to begin operations by midsummer 2015. The company is also scheduled to hire 88 full-time benefitted employees with an average wage of $60,600 and a projected economic impact of $20.1 million. The company is approved to receive a Tax Reimbursement Incentive (TRI) credit of 18 percent for five years, which was matched by the local community, with the Blaine County Board of County Commissioners approving subsidized office space in the Ketchum Innovation Center valued at $8,623, stated a press release from Idaho Commerce. “Once Stephen (chief development officer) and Joey (Solu chief creative officer) made some early visits to the Wood River Valley, I think we recognized that we could create something really special here, especially in light of the vacuum hangover of both Scott’s and Smith’s departures,” said David Currier, CEO and UiUx partner. “Both Steve and Joey have long-ago family connections to Idaho and the Wood River Valley, and I have been here since 2004, running three different divisions over that period with Smith Optics. And, really, the day the Idaho Department of Commerce notified us of our successful TRI application, the die was cast.” “The direct benefit to UiUx-Solu of Idaho’s Tax Reimbursement Incentive program and the support from the city were huge motivating factors in our decision to locate in Ketchum,” added Currie. “But it was also the intangible of a balanced, outdoor-oriented lifestyle, and the confidence that we

June 17, 2015

could attract and retain the best like-minded talent for all aspects of the business, that ultimately finalized our decision.” User Interface User Experience (UiUx) is a startup software company with three projects slated for development, the first of which is Solu, a Legacy Bridge personal archive creation and retrieval interface. It allows individual archive creators to upload or record and store multimedia content via prompts, building a generational autobiography that can be accessed forever by designated descendant family members asking questions of the archive. “UiUx, which is the overall development umbrella company under which our individual software projects like Solu are brought to market, was formed as an LLC in Nevada in November 2014,” explained Currier of the history of the company. “The company was initially situated in Las Vegas, where the other two founding partners, Stephen White and Joey White (a very creatively dynamic father/son combo) were located, plus two of our in-house development guys. So Las Vegas, and specifically the old downtown district, was one of the more aggressive locations under consideration for Solu. Our development company, Raster Media, was also located there, which was very productive, especially early on, for face-to-face creative meetings (we are still contracted with them for Solu development).” The company is excited about the move, as Currier added at the end of the interview: “We feel blessed to be here. This is home.” For more information on UiUx-Solu, visit their website at: www.solu.pub.

Crafting Tradition Brewfest heads into 2nd year BY P.M. FADDEN

he Ketchum/Sun Valley Rotary Club Brewfest will take place Saturday, June 20, at Ketchum Town Square. Sponsored by the City of Ketchum, the daylong revelries showcase concocted delights from breweries, food vendors, wineries, a distillery and merchandise utilizing re-crafted bicycle parts and beer. “Rotary identified a brewfest as a missing element from our community several years ago,” explained Rotary member, Blaine County Housing Authority executive and Brewfest organizer, David Patrie. “We thought a brewfest would be a good way to raise funds for our charitable work in the community.” In its inaugural year in 2014, Rotary Brewfest saw participation from nine breweries and visits from 500 barley beverage enthusiasts. In this, its second year, Brewfest ups the ante with 18 anticipated participants and similarly forecasted increases in festival attendance. “Our attendees appreciate fine food and drink and like a good time,” said fellow Brewfest organizer and Sawtooth Brewery co-owner, Kevin Jones. “Ketchum Town Square is perfect for such an event and centrally located.” Pouring from noon until 6 p.m., Rotary Brewfest sports a spectrum of Western taps at a $20 gate-paid tariff. While non-alcohol festivalgoers enjoy free admission, beverage ticket pricing includes a commemorative pint glass and an afternoon of sampling craft beers, with 100 percent of net event proceeds being donated to Ketchum/Sun Valley Rotary Club charities. Though brew craft headlines the festival focus, additional guests of honor include: Scott Mason’s pizza oven, Grumpy’s burger wagon, Mama Inez, Sun Valley Wine Company, Idaho Whis-

key and Upcycle. Brewfest organizers raise their glasses to the diligent efforts of Craig Stein and Hayden Beverage. “This is truly a community event,” said Patrie, “and we can’t forget the Rotary volunteers. Without them, there is no event.” Brewfest organizers stress that event facilitation is reliant upon volunteer efforts. “It is all volunteer work by Rotary members,” agreed Jones. “There are about five Rotary members who meet once a month during the off season and almost every week leading up to the event.” “For the brewers, it is a great opportunity to introduce their brews to a geographically diverse audience because our visitors come from around the country,” said Patrie. “For the locals, we get to introduce and share our great town with our visitors.” “The craft beer market is expanding throughout the country. In particular, it is really exploding in the Rocky Mountain West and the Greater Pacific Northwest,” Patrie added. Brewfest organizers are excited at the potential of future events. “[We hope to] continue to grow and donate lots of money to local charities,” said Jones. “The Idaho Falls charity brewfest attracts over 6,500 attendees, so I think the Ketchum one could easily get close to 2,000 in a couple years.” The Ketchum/Sun Valley Rotary Club has Brewfest information updates posted through its festival website; rotarybrewfest.com. Additional event information and photos are also available through facebook.com under ‘Ketchum Rotary Brewfest’. “For our Rotary club, this event will become our main fundraiser,” added Patrie. “We will need to continue to grow and refine it, but we will take care to make sure it maintains the intimate grassroots feel we currently have,” he said.

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR JUne 17 FRom picabo angleR

We are awaiting clarity on the Big Wood River and, of course, the higher you go, the more you will find it. The Big Wood north of Ketchum is running clear and there are plenty of enticing places to fish. We took our favorite high-water Big Wood River rig––a giant Picabo Royal Stimulator with a size 12 Beadhead Prince Nymph–– and fished from the north to the south on Sunday. The fish in the clearer water up north were less willing to eat, and seemed stuck on the choice between eating a fly or getting moved downstream by the current. I was able to cross the river in a few spots, but it was treacherous. Do NOT bring your canine friends to the Big Wood just yet. Moving down to the mid-Valley, the river was not wadeable and the color was off, but not so bad that it would keep you from fishing. The fish were easier to find and catch as the only holding water was the giant back eddies and deep pools. Finally, well south into Bellevue, the conditions were the same, if not slightly muddier. If the river keeps dropping, we should have our second season in the Sun Valley area very soon. Expect the river to be very fishable, yet still dangerous to wade, in the coming week. Please don’t take chances and do take a friend. With the Big Wood just becoming fishable, expect the upper Lost River system to follow along shortly. There are clear stretches now, but the volume makes it tough to find holding water without some very long walks. Silver Creek continues to show great Callibaetis hatches in the pond sections and regular PMD activity through the S-turns. With a return to hot days, expect the Callibaetis to dominate the midafternoons. Baby Hoppers are beginning to show up and with the Green Drake on the Conservancy waters, these could be the sleeper flies this week. The South Fork of the Boise has not shown the Salmon Fly yet, but with a hot week upon us, the skies should be turning from blue to orange very soon! It is still too early to guess what the fires and flood debris will ultimately do to the hatches on this wonderful river. If you go, be sure to have small Elk-Hair Caddis in a size 18 with a black body. Happy Fishing Everyone! Be Kind.

Let’s get to know more of our community friends. “The idea is to bring something unique to the community, a place that gets people wondering and interested in checking it out for themselves,” said Hannah McNees, owner of the fresh and friendly Jersey Girl Café. Wood River-raised McNees has recently breezed back into the Valley from an East Coast sojourn (hence, the moniker) and, after her educational and experiential stints out of state, felt the time had come to make her mark with Hailey’s Jersey Girl on East Croy Street. “We’ve got an open, receptive hangout place here,” said McNees. “I see a diverse and youthful demographic in the Valley, one with multiple feels, and I wanted to establish a location where everyone can be young.” A favorite with the local lunch crowd, Jersey Girl is open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. The burgeoning neighborhood hub offers breakfast, lunch, bakery treats, full sandwich board and espresso coffees either inWood River home girl Han- served nah McNees hopes Hailey’s house or under the Jersey Girl Café is “a fresh, awnings of a planthip place to be young.” rich outdoor patio Photo by P.M. Fadden complete with games. “A great menu, for me, has to be a given,” said McNees. “To that we add an emphasis on service, which is perfect because residents are great about providing interactive customer feedback to the business.” “The sense of community in the Valley is awesome,” added McNees. “And, I’m offering a personal, readily attentive location that makes the extra effort for our customers.” “This is a positive place to live, grow and do business,” said McNees of the Wood River Valley. “Jersey Girl hopes to be a positive addition to all of that by maintaining quality and flexibility.” So there you have it and now you know. That’s one more degree bringing us closer to home.

udos to Sun Valley Co., Carol Holding and everyone involved in the rebirth of the Sun Valley Lodge. The result is stunning! It’s no easy feat to completely reimagine one of the most iconic buildings in the Wood River Valley and (in less than a year) rebuild it in a way that will beckon a bright future for the resort while honoring its distinguished past. As the old adage goes, “Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.” I think the new Lodge will do just

that. It provides a nice boost in luxury and elegance to the Valley’s hotel offerings while still remaining true to the area’s ~ and the resort’s ~ history and rustic, Western roots. Now, the Lodge has enough goodies and comforts to compete with other top resort hotels, yet longtime guests and locals will not feel like they’re stepping into a strange new land when they enter the space. The Lodge still feels very much like the Lodge; it just looks nice and shiny and new. At some point, most Valley residents will make memories at the Lodge ~ whether at the bowling alley (which is perhaps the most

The Toad In The Teapot BY THE LANTZ FAMILY

On the porch lives a toad in a teapot. It seems he likes it a lot. He has set up a home. He is always alone.

Mummu – my grandmother – lives on a lake near a hill, And gives him flies to eat. The toad has some hungry woodland friends, Who had once caused assorted troubles. Raccoons and skunks always raided the trash. Blue jays, the scoundrels, stole berries at a dash. The lakeside was destroyed and the toad could even see That the animals were careless – won’t you agree? Porcupines chewed everything and left a big mess. Deer and rabbits would be eating the garden, unless, There was someone that kept them controlled. In the old days it was a snapper from the lake. He was huge and ugly and would always take The treasured food from the animals that lived in the cove. But Mummu made turtle soup from his flesh and his bones, She shared it and they ate all their bellies would hold.

Next morning Mummu awoke, and to her surprise, Beavers had spread leaves of every conceivable size, To serve as seats for the whole wildlife nation, Who all joined in a blueberry breakfast celebration. Mummu, that day, vowed to the fold: If they promised to behave in a way that was right, No chewing, no stealing, no howling at night, Each year she would favor them with a breakfast so grand, On her dock, near her cabin, or on her land. At the rail, on the porch, with his head in the spout, To ensure that their party became certainty, The animals appointed the toad their sentry. He sits in a teapot day in and day out, And looks for naughty animals to reroute. On the porch lives a toad in a teapot. It seems he likes it a lot. He has set up a home. He is always alone.

Without that bully the woodland animals were grateful. There was joy to be rid of something so hateful. They met with the toad and they pondered, what next? The herons brought sweet water. The bees gathered honey. The squirrels carried nuts. snyder’s eye

Warm Springs Summer Solstice

June 2, 1973, in front of me, sun going down. at my back, from bottom of canyon, a shadow line, chased light up, day disappearing into night. An hour later, a V-slot ray of sun shone down West Fork of Warm Springs canyon, lit cottonwood trees for about 15 minutes on four evenings, then winked out, gone. For another 15 days or so, rotating, orbiting, planet earth continues it’s aphelion to 21st of June, The Summer Solstice, where it stalls out, stands still, then starts

it’s perihelion toward Winter Solstice. But then, 15 days later, the sun did a same V-slot ray shot, and extinguished itself as before. Next summer, having told parents my story, Pop asks, “the sun is going to do what, son”? As I was explaining the Solstice phenomenon to him, kkaablazzzzz, the sun directed its flashlight magic ray of photon bolts, lighting up those cottonwood trees once more.

Here But Why? BY JOELLEN COLLINS

love a classroom. This week I'm in one again, teaching a summer school class, and my heart is full. I get to be with vibrant teenagers who will surprise me every day. This is not to deny the rigors of teaching, the large classes I confronted through years as an English teacher in public high schools, the trauma of trying to reach students who didn't want to be there, or the bag of compositions my daughters remember my carrying everywhere as I tried to keep up with evaluating carefully the thoughts of those thousands of students. A while back I decided to write a book about my teaching days but put it off after reading Frank McCourt's "Teacher Man," his brilliant memoir, but I still have rich and telling memories of my days in the classroom, and sometimes I like to take them out and remember why I have always, even when exhausted, felt I was in the right profession. For example, when I was a fairly new teacher at Santa Monica High School, I occupied a classroom that was in a temporary wood structure JoEllen Collins—a longon the far end time resident of the Wood of the campus. River Valley—is a teacher, Next to me was writer, fabric artist, choir the band room, member and unabashedly across from me proud grandma known as was the Driver's “Bibi Jo.” Ed. room, and targets were painted on the west wall so girls could practice hitting balls accurately. You can imagine what Friday afternoons were like: the sound of trumpets revving up for the football game, the grinding sounds of car crashes on the movie projector meant to scare potential drivers, and the added distraction of girls in cute gym clothes running by my windows. I decided that Fridays were when we could really enjoy the books the students were reading, so, after I read from a book that might appeal to them, we had a free reading time. One Friday a quiet boy who sat in the last row came to me and said he had finished his book, and he hoped to go to the gym to decorate for the scheduled Saturday night dance. He was a nice boy and I believed him, so I filled out the triplicate form required in that era: one sheet for me to keep, one for the teacher who would meet him, and a third for the student in case he was met by one of the security officers on campus. On Monday he entered our sixth-period class with his signed copy from the PE teacher who had been in the gym. On it, in a big scrawl, were the words "HE WAS HERE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY." I kept that form for many years to remind me of the reality of the classroom. All those precious members of my captive audience may have felt that way at times...and it was my responsibility to make that place positive and productive. What a good metaphor and possible title for my book! tws

een dating violence, sexual assault, and physical and verbal abuse all exist. This is one of the many things that working for The Advocates as an ETC [Every Teen Has a Choice] intern has taught me. I have realized this immense urgency and how many adults and teens are unaware of these realities in our community. This internship has been incredibly important to me because not only have my eyes been opened to alarming statistics and realizations, but I have taken one step further into the realm of promoting, preventing and stepping in to end violence and change these damaging social norms. One of the more frequent things that we do as an intern group is educate peers about healthy relationships. It is extremely important to lead other students to thinking about how healthy choices can be made and how they will affect their lives. I really enjoy this educational aspect because I can tell that our audience is listening to what we have to say. Another skill I have taken away from this internship is the ability to speak in public. I have read poetry, speeches, introductions, taught classes, answered questions, and much more. While I am improving these valuable speaking skills, I am also spreading knowledge and ideas at the same time. Since joining this internship I have seen a huge change in myself and in the environment around me. Now I am able to recognize the signs of an unhealthy or potentially dangerous situation, and I know how to respond in an appropriate way. The Advocates has given me numerous tools for preventing and/ or ending violence or abuse. I am pleased to say that I have used these tools in several situations and I know that I will be thankful for the rest of my life because I have been able to make a difference. Every teen in the Wood River Valley needs to consider how they might be able to make a difference. If they find themselves in a serious situation, someone will always be grateful for their assistance. Trust me, I speak from experience! Think about it this way: If the roles were reversed, would you want someone to step in and help you? Learn bystander intervention, learn how to intervene, learn how to change lives. I know that I can make a difference and I will make it a goal to step in, protect, prevent, and change the culture that I live in. I will be attending the University of Puget Sound next fall and I sincerely hope to involve myself in programs with similar causes as our ETC group. Either way, I know

Movie review

BY JONATHAN KANE

n the new action/comedy (heavy on the comedy) film “Spy”, budding superstar Melissa McCarthy takes it to another level. Although I’ve never been a big fan, the movie had me marveling at her proficient gifts. A lot of credit is also due Paul Feig (“Bridesmaids”, “The Heat” and the upcoming all-female remake of “Ghostbusters”), who seems to have the magic touch with the ladies and has written a script full of intelligence and laugh-outloud moments that should be an instant hit. The movie also boasts an all-star cast of supporting players that expertly play out the 007 parody, includ

‘Spy’

Ms. Bond

ing Jude Law as the perfect Bond himself. Especially great is Jason Stratham, who totally makes fun of his own on-screen persona. McCarthy plays a mousy CIA agent with no self-esteem who graduated at the top of her class only to find herself in a rat-infested basement directing Law in daring-do through an earpiece. When a nuclear bomb falls into the hands of a very evil Rose Byrne, who claims to know the identities of every top CIA operative, someone needs to be put on her trail that is completely invisible and McCarthy seems ripe for the job. Given a series of extremely unflattering aliases and bad wigs as well as an arsenal of uproarious spy gadgets, Mc-

Carthy globe hops in pursuit of Byrne. The heart of the film beats with a strong feminist message and the adage that you can’t judge a book by its cover. As McCarthy gains confidence and self-esteem, her bad ass emerges, including her sharp, extremely cutting wit that has become her trademark, especially in her vicious interchanges with Byrne. Also welcome is a lack of low blows concerning McCarthy’s heft. The movie is moving at another level to stoop to that and promises to please with tws a barrage of laughs.

n May 29, hundreds of friends and neighbors came out for our Local Food Alliance launch party and Paulette Phlipot’s “UNPROCESSED: A Closer Look at Real Food” photography show at Lipton Fine Arts in Ketchum. The stellar turnout is testimony to our community’s growing interest in fresh, wholesome food produced in or near the Wood River Valley. There’s never been a better time to jump on the local food chuckwagon. From farmers’ markets and farm-to-table dinners to seed-saving workshops, canning classes and food documentaries, opportunities abound to discover, buy, eat, grow, and enjoy the unparalleled flavors and nutrients of food grown right in our own backyard. Thanks to our new online Local Food Event Calendar, finding those opportunities has never been easier. The calendar is designed to be the one-stop for local food happenings. Local Food Alliance supports any and all efforts toward nutritious local food—this online portal is a shared resource for anyone wanting to promote an event, as long as local food is involved.

Blaine County Noxious Weeds

The Cold War Isn’t Over BY THE BLAINE BUG CREW

he Russians are coming! The Russians are coming! This isn’t an invasion of tanks and guns, but rather of creeping roots and twisted stems. These Russian invaders are called Russian knapweed. You will find this perennial plant on multiple fronts. It is a significant invader of rangelands, roadsides and waste areas, and can invade grain and other crops. Before a battle plan can be formulated, it is important to be able to identify the enemy. Russian knapweed is a perennial plan that reproduces mainly by creeping roots. In addition, a single plant is capable of producing more than 1,200 seeds. These seeds vary in color from gray to ivory, and are produced from August through September. The erect stems are openly branched and typically 45 to 90 centimeters tall. The leaves are oblong on the upper part of the plant and become deeply lobed the closer they are to the root crown. Russian

knapweed produces many flowers that range in color from pink to blue. Flowering typically begins in June and continues through September. With so many types of invasive knapweed to keep track of, many people don’t know one species from another. The one characteristic that separates Russian knapweed from meadow, diffuse and spotted knapweed is its roots. The roots of Russian knapweed are black. Luckily, there are several tools in our arsenal to battle this invader. Jaapiella ivannikovi, a gall midge, and Aulacida acroptilonica, a gall wasp, have been released by the United States Department of Agriculture after a decade-long vetting process to make sure they wouldn’t attack any native or crop plants. These two Russian knapweed biological control agents work in unison to attack the stems of Russian knapweed. Both of these agents form galls that act as a metabolic sink. This metabolic sink de-

creases the nutrient supply available to the plant, thereby reducing plant vigor and competitive ability. The larva of these biological control agents feed in this gall and later emerge as adults to repeat this process year after year. The Blaine Bug Crew is on the front lines of defending against this assault. The crew spends the entire summer moving the biological control agents to new outbreaks of Russian knapweed. The bug crew also monitors the growth and vigor of these plants and reports their findings to the Blaine County Weed Department and the United States Department of Agriculture. If you are afraid that the Russians are attacking your property, call the Blaine County Noxious Weed Department at (208) 788-5516 or Eric McHan with the Blaine Bug Crew at (208) 316-0355.

Territorial Dog Behavior BY FRAN JEWELL

dog that defends its territory or home is not uncommon. This is a behavior inherited from the wolf defending its territory from another pack. It is intended to secure hunting grounds, food and survival of the pack. Territorial behavior is not acceptable in dogs that are now domesticated and expected to live peacefully in our human society. What is interesting is that not every dog will have the desire to perform this behavior. Some breeds are more prone to territorial behavior than others. Herding breeds can be especially prone to territorial behavior because their job, primarily moving livestock, is also to warn the shepherd and sometimes defend the livestock from predatory animals (especially livestock guardian dogs like Great Pyrenees and Akbash). When we bring working dogs into our homes, then expect them to be good-natured and accepting of all of our guests, it becomes an internal conflict for the dog and, ultimately, a source of stress and anxiety for the dog. For us, as humans, if we allow the dog to perform those instinctual behaviors, it can ultimately lead to a bite for the intruder (whether that intruder is dog or human). Obviously, that is not acceptable in our society. The reality is, if your dog performs his natural instinct and does bite someone, you may very well find yourself in the midst of a lawsuit that can threaten your home. Yes, there are some breeds (and individuals within any breed) that are much more accepting of people or dogs onto “their” property. Most hunting dogs were bred to focus on their noses, not on protecting the home. So when choosing a dog, it might be wise to look for a

June 17, 2015

breed that is less likely to be territorial by domestication. Preventing this instinct from developing is another way you can protect your family from a dog that becomes overly territorial. Remember first that most dogs will warn, or alert you, when someone strange is near your car or in your yard. But territorial behavior is more aggressive and can threaten or end in a bite. Establishing leadership immediately when you get your dog, and letting your dog know that you – not the dog – own the home, is imperative. A good leadership program lets the dog know you are the one that makes the decisions about who comes onto your property, not the dog in his instinctual way. If you are unclear about how to establish leadership, this would be a good time to contact a professional, or do research on the Internet. Remember, leadership is a respectful bond between you and the dog. Leadership is not brutal or unfair. Leadership is benevolent, and it also gives the dog a clear idea about what is and is not acceptable behavior. If you suspect your dog has gone past the alerting stage into territorial behavior, seek professional help immediately. But remember, prevention is always the best answer and your attitude is critically important. Leaving a dog to his own devices and doggie problem-solving will always lead to a dog making doggie decisions based on ancestry and instinct, which might not work well in our human society.

iana Lloyd’s passion for neon as an art form began in 1989. Intrigued by an article she read about Lili Lakich, founder of The Museum of Neon Art in Los Angeles, Lloyd pursued an intensive education in the science and art of neon and became hooked. Neon requires a working knowledge in graphic design, glass blowing and fires, electrical systems with high-voltage components, gasses and pressures, and high vacuums. Once a design has been imagined, its outline is drawn as a pattern onto a fireproof fabric. Glass tubes, 4 feet in length, are heated and bent to conform to the design. Each end of the tube is sealed, trapping metal electrodes within the

Diana Lloyd: Neon Artist glass. High-voltage current, intense heat, a powerful vacuum pump and a dash of neon or argon gas are the ingredients that go into creating a unique work of art that can then be connected to a transformer and finally illuminated. Lloyd enjoys creating with neon and considers it fun, challenging and historic. “As a neon artist, I study the materials and processes that were used in the 1940s and ‘50s, when neon was in its prime. I try to combine the most iconic sign style and construction with more modern subjects and details,” said Lloyd. Lloyd’s studio work varies from day to day depending on the progress she’s made with a design. “Drawing up ideas and patterns takes much of the time, but my favorite days involve glass blowing,

or ‘tube bending,’ as it is called. I enjoy the amount of concentration and quiet that are required to work with glass, as you only get one attempt with the bend – there is no going back, only starting over,” Lloyd said. As an artist whose work shows best when illuminated, there are also days spent wiring electrical systems or cutting and shaping metals. Lloyd’s proudest artistic achievement occurred in 2011 when she was selected as one of the 10 local artists chosen to create a wine barrel work of art for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ Wine Auction. The neon wall hanging required the artist to develop new skills for the project. Her efforts paid off. The completed wall hanging garnered a full price bid for The Center before the auction began.
