ommunity School started the new school year on Monday with a new building, a new head of school and a record number of students.

With an enrollment of 399, grades pre-K through 12, it is the sixth year in a row that the private school in Sun Valley has broken the previous year’s enrollment number. The school population has grown by 27.5 percent since its enrollment of 289 students in 2009.

“I would say that we’ve done a very good job of refining our programs and letting people know the benefits of a private school education,” new Head of School Ben Pettit told The Weekly Sun in an interview Tuesday.

Pettit, who was previously assistant head of school and head of the upper school, replaces former Head of School David Holmes, who had served in the position since 2011. Holmes is now Community School’s executive director of strategic initiatives, a new position that includes fundraising, attracting new families to the school and developing new academic programs.

Holmes said Monday that he is “thrilled” with the new assignment because it frees him from the day-to-day chores of managing the school and allows him to focus his attention on new initiatives.

New building Community School’s new building comes online at the right time to serve the school’s continuing increase in enrollment.

Originally called the “Creative Arts and Middle School Building,” the new facility has been renamed the “Hagenbuch Hall for the Creative Arts and Middle School” to honor former Community School Board Chair Jay Hagenbuch, who led

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

a successful effort to raise $8.5 million for the new building and for other improvements at the school campus situated beside Trail Creek in west Sun Valley.

The new two-story building, constructed during the past year, provides 20,250 square feet of floor space and includes not only classrooms for middle school students but various other spaces to support Community School’s numerous creative arts programs and to serve the entire student population.

The new building includes classrooms designed for team teaching and for music, art and language programs, a stateof-the-art digital media lab, a design and project lab, a dining room and assembly hall, a teaching kitchen and an outdoor classroom. Designed for energy efficiency, the new building has a “Lucid Dashboard” in the lobby that displays how much water and energy is being used at any given time.

“The new building is truly transformational because we now have space across the campus to accommodate our enrollment and support our programs,” Pettit said. “The other benefit of the new building is that it really supports our oneschool philosophy.”

Pettit explained that the philosophy brings students of all ages together for joint learning endeavors.

“We have students 2-years-old through 12th grade, and the new building really supports our students of all ages working together in a very natural way,” Pettit said.

The new building was officially dedicated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, Aug. 28.

Financial aid The increase in enrollment over the past six years can be partially attributed to a financial aid program that Community School has in place. With annual tuition ranging from $11,750 for kindergarteners to $26,500

september 2, 2015

for high school students, Community School is sometimes referred to locally as “the rich kids’ school.” However, such is not the case.

A report compiled by Holmes last school year shows that 43 percent of the school’s students received financial aid, either as “aid to local families” or tuition reimbursement for children of the school’s teaching staff. According to the report, 102 students last year received need-based financial aid totaling $1,190,705 and 57 children of staff received tuition reimbursement totaling $1,012,079.

Holmes wrote in his report that financial aid in the two categories combined is 26 percent of the school’s “gross tuition revenue.” He wrote further that the total financial aid is “approximately double” the average financial aid of private schools throughout the United States, as reported by the National Association of Independent Schools.

In his report, Holmes also explained the reason for Community School’s extensive financial aid program, describing it as a “social contract” with the community.

“Although fulfilling our social contract presents a financial challenge, we are committed to sustaining this priority into the future,” Holmes wrote. “Specifically, we believe that supporting the aspirations of hard-working families is essential to the health and vibrancy of our community.

“Not only will we continue to reach out to members of the school community for financial support, we will reach out to individuals who may not have a direct family connection to the school but who share our commitment of service to the valley.”

As a private school, Community school does not receive state or property tax funding but relies exclusively on tuition, donations and grants from various charitable organizations to operate. tws

olleen Coyne, founder and owner of Sun Valley Sports Rehabilitation Center, located at Zenergy in Ketchum, is one of the bestknown and longest-working physical therapists in the Wood River Valley. Her longevity in the business and the effectiveness of her discipline have earned her the nickname the “Iron Mistress.”

Like so many others, Coyne came to the Wood River Valley for the skiing but, unlike those who came for a year and stayed for a lifetime working at whatever presented itself, Coyne has managed to create both the professional and recreational life of her dreams.

In 1978, Coyne was living in Philadelphia and working three jobs as a physical therapist to make ends meet. On winter weekends, she drove to Vermont or New Hampshire to pursue her lifelong passion for skiing.

Though born in Pennsylvania, Coyne grew up in the small town of Caribou, in northern Maine, where she skied and ski raced, hiked, played piano and had the best academic grades in her high school graduation class. She and her younger sister were raised by her maternal grandmother, who owned and operated Caribou’s luncheonette, described

by Colleen as “…a noted eating establishment.” Caribou itself is noted as “New England’s coldest town.”

Metropolitan living and weekend commuter skiing as an adult in Pennsylvania were not Coyne’s natural lifestyle.

Though she had attended college in Philadelphia, where she grad-

uated with highest honors from Temple University with a degree in physical therapy, she was understandably restless.

A senior therapist with the main physical therapy clinic where she worked advised her to “go West,” where she had never been. The therapist had skied in Sun Valley and knew a few people and in 1978 Coyne took her advice and moved to Ketchum, sight unseen.

She might have only stayed the winter but, in the process of interviewing for a job as a cook, her credentials and college grades caught the eye of the W interviewer, ar who knew a chirom needed some help. practor who S rin with chiropracCoyne got a pjob gs tor Wendell Nelson, Rd running his clinic, doing physical therapy with his patients and leading exercise classes.

From there Coyne branched out into her own private practice, which included exercise classes and private consultations in her own studio at the old 6th Street Gym in Ketchum. In 1983 she opened Sun Valley Sports Rehabilitation Center, including an exercise room and a full-service gym, before moving to the now defunct Sun Valley Athletic Club as its physical therapist.

When that closed, Coyne moved her clinic to Zenergy.

Today, Coyne spends more time training, caring for and saving wild horses than she does skiing, and she divides her time between Ketchum and what she calls her “Horse Heaven Ranch” on the East Fork of the Salmon River east of Stanley, where she lives with her husband, Ron Vernia, six horses and two dogs.

Editor’s Note: This is the concluding installment in a four-part series exploring the economic status, stability and growth in the cities of Ketchum, Hailey, Sun Valley and Bellevue, by asking, “How’s business?”

C

ommerce is healthy in the City of Sun Valley, but business owners and city officials within the iconic community emphasize that a growing Wood River Valley economy relies on businesses valley-wide working together.

“The business community could improve by working together more as a unit on marketing and promotions, which would benefit everybody,” said Laury Keenan, co-owner with husband Tom of Towne and Parke Fine Jewelry in the Sun Valley Village Mall.

“Summer is 40 to 50 percent of annual business, with the third quarter always our best,” Laury said.

“Revenue for June was down somewhat, most likely due to the lodge closure until mid-June, but July revenue was up.

“Factors that influence summer business are high occupancy in the Sun Valley Lodge and Inn, the hotels-motels in Ketchum, weather and special events,” she said.

Jack Sibbach, director of sales and marketing for Sun Valley Resort, agreed that businesses need to work together.

“It’s about addressing how we help each other,” Sibbach said. “Economically, we’re positioned well with mutually beneficial initiatives such as air service expansion, marketing alliance coordination and the Mountain Collective ski pass enriching the whole area.

“June and July were both up from last year,” Sibbach said. “While not able to provide figures, we can say that both months were above our own company projections.

“The lodge remodel was obviously a large factor in driving summer business for us. We’re hearing great comments, and people are pleased.

“Advanced group bookings such as conventions, weddings or other special events are a key component to summer business,” Sibbach said. “To encourage that, we’ve invited event planners and journalists to visit the new lodge. “Our hope is that this raises awareness and draws greater numbers of visitors. Increased visitor numbers is a benefit to everyone.”

Sun Valley Mayor Dewayne Briscoe spoke to the mutual benefits of valley-wide services as well as that of enticing new families into the area.

“The city’s economic success is tied to that of the county,” Briscoe said. “Developments taking place across the Valley will help us all. The airport expansion is one especially impactful common de-

nominator to all Valley communities.

“Our local option sales tax figures are just under $900,000 annually for the last five years, and I feel the outlook for the City of Sun Valley is good, yet we are also seeing a slow decrease in year-round population figures,” he said.

“The private sector and the government sector have the opportunity to work together at growing the population by enticing highly skilled, educated families to relocate to our area. Achieving that will equal economic growth.

“Promoting our high quality of life will aid in our economic stability,” Briscoe said. “We have outstanding facilities in our schools, hospital, and recreation. If we encourage affordable housing as well, this will attract businesses to relocate here and that in turn will draw workforces, all of which keep our area healthy and growing.

“The new airport allows for greater ease of access to our area, and this too will impact that population influx. In that way, the airport will be the lifeblood of all our communities.

“The key for future growth at the City of Sun Valley, as well as the other Wood River communities, lies in that growth being transformational, not changeable,” Briscoe said. “Transformational growth will preserve the character of where we live, who we are and how we live. That is in the best interest of everyone.” tws

urisdiction in a 12-yearold Camas County murder case, where a prominent Fairfield businessman was allegedly beaten to death, was transferred on Monday to Blaine County.

As yet untried by a jury, the first-degree murder case against Harley Robert Park, now 37, presently depends upon a future ruling by 5th District Court Judge Robert J. Elgee regarding the mental fitness of the defendant. Prior rulings by the judge have held that Park is not mentally stable enough to assist with his own defense, which is the determining factor used by Idaho courts to decide whether a defendant can be legally tried.

Park has remained incarcerated since the death of 61-year-old Lynn Stevenson the afternoon of Sept. 3, 2003, at the nine-hole Cottonwood Golf Course Stevenson owned near the Soldier Mountain ski resort north of Fairfield. Park remained incarcerated at State Hospital South in Blackfoot, where he had been committed by court order, for most of the past 12 years, until April, when doctors for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare determined that his mental condition had improved enough that a trial could be held.

Following the Health and Welfare determination, Park was discharged from State Hospital South and transferred to the Elmore County Jail in Mountain Home, where he remained an inmate on Tuesday. He is being held in Elmore County because Camas County does not have a jail.

However, questions still remain as to Park’s mental state, and Elgee ordered a new evaluation in June by Dr. Robert Engle, a Boise psychotherapist. That evaluation is as yet undone and is not expected to be completed until late September, when Elgee will again consider the mental fitness of Park to stand trial.

Hailey attorney Douglas Nel-

september 2, 2015

son, court appointed as public defender for Park in 2003, told Judge Elgee at a status hearing in Hailey on Monday that he is doubtful of Park’s competency for trial.

“Every time I talk with Harley, I’m just certain that Dr. Engle is going to come back and say, ‘nah, he’s not fit for trial,’” Nelson said.

Elgee’s ruling to transfer jurisdiction of the case to Blaine County came at the Monday hearing and was done at the request of both Nelson and Special Prosecutor Krista Howard, a deputy attorney with the Idaho Attorney General’s Office.

“I’ve heard from two reliable sources that the people of Camas County don’t want to have to deal with this and want it moved somewhere else,” Nelson told the judge.

Regardless of the transfer to Blaine County, Elgee is to remain presiding judge because he is the Idaho 5th Judicial District judge in both Blaine and Camas counties.

Nelson has also filed a motion seeking to repress statements that Park is accused of making to police immediately after the death of Stevenson. However, Nelson agreed Monday that it may be “moot” for Elgee to consider the motion until after a determination is made as to Park’s fitness for trial, which remains scheduled to begin on Dec. 8.

The killing of Stevenson on Sept. 3, 2003, came one day after the murders of Alan and Diane Johnson at the couple’s home in Bellevue on Sept. 2, 2003. Their daughter, Sarah Johnson, who was 16 at the time and is now 28, was subsequently convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and is currently serving two life sentences without the possibility of parole.

The killing of Stevenson a day later received scant news media attention, likely because of the Continued MURDER Page 10

Wood River Valley Enduro racer Jubal Brown, 28, will compete Sept. 7-12 at Enduro Slovakia.

Local Enduro racer to compete in Slovakia

BY P.M. FADDEN

I

nternational motorcycle Enduro racer Jubal Brown, 28, says he will be riding for “family and country” next week in a six-day, 1,000-mile competition in the wilds of Slovakia.

Brown, a Wood River Valley resident, departed for the International Six Days Enduro, known as the ISDE, on Sunday. He will race Sept. 7-12 on various sections, from 150-200 miles in length, equating to about 1,000 miles of demanding offroad motorcycling.

“The International Six Days Enduro is the oldest and most prestigious off-road motorcycle race in the world,” Brown said in an interview before departing for Slovakia.

The first ISDE was held in 1913 and, apart from interruptions during the First and Second World Wars, the race has run continuously every year since. This year’s event will be held in Kosice, Slovakia. It is the 90th time the race has been run.

“Five hundred and forty-two riders from 32 countries will tackle the ISDE this year,” Brown said.

“U.S. entries to the ISDE include Club Teams, which are three-member teams of the top amateur athletes a country has to offer,” he said.

“This is where I fit in.

“To select the Club Teams, there are two ISDE qualifiers every year, one on the East Coast and the other in Idaho City, serving as the West Coast Qualifier. The racing is broken down by engine size into three classifications: E1, E2, and E3. Essentially, there are four spots up for grabs in each of these classifications. They take the top two riders from the East qualifier and the top two from the West to set the field.”

Brown said it takes extraordinary passion and commitment to race at the level demanded by Enduro.

“I started riding during the summer between eighth and ninth grade,” Brown said. “I puttered around for three weeks before I entered my first race, and despite the fact that I got dead last, the chain of events that got me to this point had been set in motion.

“Through high school and college, racing was just a fun way of spending weekends and enjoying time with friends and my dad,” he said. “It has only been in the last few years, since 2012, that I have taken things much more seriously and started to hit a lot of races.

“In 2014, I was racing roughly 30 weekends out of the year. I would say the number of races under my belt has got to be around 300 races total.

“Unfortunately, there are not a lot

of Enduro races nearby, so most of my time is spent racing the National Enduro Series,” Brown said. “In 2015, the closest national to home was in northeastern Wyoming.

“The exception is the Idaho City 100, which serves as a national qualifier for the ISDE. Idaho City is one of only two ISDE qualifiers like that so close to home.

“I spend a lot of time driving and flying,” Brown said. “Last season was my first year on the national circuit, and I drove all the way from the Wood River Valley for the first half of the season. It would take three solid 12-hour days to get to the race. Then, I would race for six hours, and spend another three days in the van.

“The effort and expense of Slovakia alone, including the bike, shipping, entry fee, travel and accommodations, can quickly add up to $20,000-plus per rider,” Brown said. “All of the costs come directly out of the rider’s pocket, so I am relying on T-shirt sales, donations from friends and family, contributions from sponsors, and the money we have been setting aside for years in anticipation of one day qualifying.

“I toiled at the back of the beginner class for years and years before I slowly progressed to where I am now. I burned thousands of gallons of gas, wore out hundreds of tires and dozens of motorcycles, and put in mile after mile to get to this point.

“Enduro tests both man and machine,” Brown said. “The long miles and difficult terrain challenges the reliability of the machine, while the rider must ride as fast as possible in the timed sections, but stay smart to conserve machine and body to the finish. Enduro is basically a race against the clock, no matter the temperature or weather.”

“My goal for the 2015 ISDE is simply to finish. Just finishing the event takes a great deal of skill, planning, and even some luck, so I am going to do my best to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

“The whole experience has been great,” Brown said. “Everyone who has so loved and supported me in this deserves thanks, and I want them to know that I’m goin’ over there and giving it my all.

“The 2016 edition will be held in Spain, so I would love to qualify for Team USA again and go there.”

massive news coverage on a local, state and national level of the Johnson case.

However, the Times-News in Twin Falls published an in-depth story about the Park case in its Sept. 5, 2003, edition. According to the account, Park allegedly told Camas County Sheriff Dave Sanders that he killed Stevenson because Stevenson was “the devil.”

A probable cause affidavit filed in the case by Sanders states that Park was a transient and that Stevenson had befriended him by giving him a place to stay and employment at the golf course.

Sanders further wrote in his report that Park allegedly killed Stevenson by choking him and “repeatedly punching and kicking him in the head while wearing steel-toed work boots.”

The killing of Stevenson had a profound effect on the community of Fairfield, a south-central Idaho town with a population of about 400.

The Times-News reported in its account that Jerry Young, owner of the Iron Mountain Inn where Stevenson was a regular customer, said that “it’s been devastating to everyone around

september 2, 2015

here” and that “it shakes you up pretty good.”

The newspaper further reported that Nancy Davies, a neighbor to Stevenson, said: “It was definitely a shock to know that something like that could happen here.”

Judge Elgee’s ruling on Monday not only changes the venue if a trial is held, but places the entire case under Blaine County jurisdiction.

Elgee has ruled several times since the death of Stevenson that Park is not mentally fit for trial.

A ruling in 2005 followed an evaluation by Dr. G. Adrian Dean, a Twin Falls psychiatrist.

In a report contained in the Park court case file, Dean described Park’s conditions as schizophrenia and paranoia.

“His concrete way of thinking means he sees himself as right, good and innocent and everyone else is wrong, evil and guilty,” Dean wrote. “It is my opinion that Mr. Park should be considered extremely dangerous and a very high risk for repeated violence given the chance. It is also my opinion that no amount of treatment will reduce that risk.” tws

WRHS senior Austin Shetler displays his senior project.

Austin Shetler Spreads school spirit throughout community

BY JONATHAN KANE

W

ood River High School senior Austin Shetler, carrying a 3.5 grade point average, has enough school spirit to share it with the community. This year, Shetler joined the varsity football team. He also plays basketball and golf for the Wolverines, and came up with a novel idea for his senior project.

Shetler decided to make four posterboard signs that will be displayed throughout Hailey on home game days to get the Valley “pumped up” and aware that there will be a game that night.

“To make it happen, I had to work with the city and various departments,” Shetler said. “Then I went to Copy & Print and had the signs made up.

“I got the idea from my dad and originally I was going to put out oil drums.

He had seen it when he was stationed in New Mexico and they would put out the barrels to signify a home game, but I couldn’t do it because of safety reasons. So I changed it to sandwich boards so that I could get approval.”

The sandwich boards will be displayed in four different locations: at the north end of Hailey on Main Street, in the middle of town, at the roundabout on Fox Acres Road, and at the stoplight on Woodside Boulevard.

“The players really want people to come out, so I

hope that it will increase attendance on game nights,” Shetler said. “The more tickets we sell, the more income that goes into the program.

That will lead to more off-season work that could lead to better seasons.”

For his senior project presentation, Shetler will talk about the process of putting the plan together.

“For one thing, I learned that working with the city can be a process that can be difficult at times and takes patience,” Shetler said. “You have to cooperate with a lot of people, like the street department. In the end, I felt really good about the outcome and had a lot of fun.”

Look for the signs this Friday when Wood River hosts the No. 11 state-ranked Hillcrest Knights of Idaho Falls.

Game time is 7 p.m.

Shetler is playing organized football this year for the first time since he was in the sixth grade.

“It’s been kind of intimidating, but practice has been really fun,” he said. “I’ve always loved football, so doing it is great. I also like hitting because it’s part of the game, and getting hit is no big deal.”

Shetler plays wide receiver on offense and corner on defense. He prefers offense.

“That’s where you get to score and that’s what it’s all about,” he said. tws

ed. When it comes to fishing, red is the color for fall. Whether it is the Western Red Quill gracing the Big Wood and Upper Lost, or the red of the kokanee that will be migrating up the rivers from local reservoirs, or the redds that brown and brook trout will be making, or even the red of the eggs from spawning fish, red is the color to focus on.

We are entering a transitional time of year on all of our area waters as summer hatches begin to wind down and fall hatches begin to ramp up. On Silver Creek, the Trico spinner falls are beginning to wane while the Baetis builds in numbers.

Grasshoppers and Mice are taking the biggest fish while Callibaetis continues to show up on occasion, sparking serious feeding frenzies. Watch the weather as the Creek transitions to banker’s hours – no need to get to the water until the air temps warm up after cool nights. Be ready for midday Baetis hatches that can fill the afternoon hours with bugs and fish galore.

The Big Wood continues to muddy, then clear, muddy, then clear. The Red Quills will be coming soon as well as the fall Baetis. Watch as the leaves begin to turn.

When they start falling from the trees, the Western Red Quill is typically in full swing. The Colorado Green Drake is the best fly you can use for the Quill hatch, and we stock this fly for the fall, just for this reason! The Green Drake and the Red Quill are very similar in size and color, making the Drake patterns a great choice for one of the most overlooked hatches in the fly-tying industry.

The Lower Lost continues to present tough wading, although keep an eye on the USGS website for current flows. Once you see the river drop below 300 cfs, plan on heading over. Red-colored nymphs like Copper Johns and San Juan Worms are deadly when the kokanee get swept through the dam.

The Upper Lost continues to fish well with Ant and Hopper patterns, but at current flows, be prepared to walk a lot. Trico and some Pink Albert are present.

The South Fork of the Boise will also begin to transition between Pink Albert and Hoppers to fall Baetis soon. Mother Nature will dictate these changes with cold nights.

Anglers need to be prepared with both summer and fall bugs right now in order to take advantage of what happens with the weather.

This is also a great time to bring those extra layers to the river!

Recognizing Canine Anxiety

BY FRAN JEWELL

V

ery often we misinterpret dog behavior. We look at dogs as if they were humans and use our own experiences to explain theirs. This is entirely normal for humans to do, but not always accurate.

One of the biggest misinterpretations about dog behavior has to do with anxiety. Some dogs go to great extent to show us they are anxious. The first sign of anxiety we do seem to notice is “separation anxiety” if we see destruction of our home when we return to a dog left alone – although, by the time our dog begins to display this recognizable anxiety, it has become extreme. We have already missed the more subtle forms of anxiety and even thought they were something entirely different.

How wonderful it is to come home to a dog happily dancing around, wagging its tail and overflowing with excitement to see us. We understand this to be their love for us, at which point we return our love for them with the same enthusiasm. Greeting parties feel FABULOUS! Unfortunately, this is the first sign of separation anxiety. While we humans think of it as love, the dog is saying to you, “Oh! I am so happy you are home! I was so afraid you were never com-

One of the signs of a dog without anxiety is relaxation and self-control. Here, Brinx loves attention as reward for his self-control and relaxed behavior.

happier. And almost immediately, they become calmer and easier to live with.

Anxiety can also be a “needy” dog that we humans misinterpret as their affection for us. Many dogs that continually need to be petted, or that always lie at your feet, can be a dog filled with anxiety and dependence. We humans, again, interpret this as their love for us when, in reality, many times it is extreme dependence or anxiety.

Recognizing dog anxiety is the first step to resolving it. Solutions come in many forms, depending on the personality traits

of your individual dog. In my experience, I will say that almost all anxiety can be reduced with a tailormade leadership program that fits you and your dog.

‘Ricki And The Flash’ Momma’s A Rocker

BY JONATHAN KANE

H

opes were not high for the new movie “Ricki and the Flash” after seeing its atrocious trailer featuring Meryl Streep as a ’60’s rocker that never made it to the big show. Also starring Kevin Kline and directed

by Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs, Stop Making Sense), how could a picture go so horribly wrong?

Much to my surprise, the film – though not great – is extremely rewarding and delivers a strong movie at the height of summer, of all things. Demme does excellent work and Streep and Kline, who have a history and chemis-

ing back! I love the party when you get home! I hate it when you leave!”

Yes, indeed, they are now happy, but we need to realize they need to be happy WHILE WE ARE GONE. The REAL party should be when you leave – not when you come home – so your dog looks forward to you leaving, and not that you come home.

That seems very counterintuitive to we humans!

Dogs are literalists; they take things exactly as they are. When we leave home and are afraid our dog might not want to be alone, they feel OUR OWN anxiety.

This is the first step to setting your dog up to be anxious. Eventually, this anxiety grows until sometimes the destruction while you are gone can become extremely costly for you and your dog.

Another form of anxiety we misinterpret is overenthusiasm for many things, or continual excitement. We humans generally think this means our dog is ‘high energy,’ which can be true to some extent, depending on the breed. However, the vast majority of dogs with high energy are actually displaying anxiety from lack of direction, leadership or structure at home. Dogs that know there are rules, and know there is positive reinforcement for obeying the rules, are much

Streep is the leader of a bar band in Tarzana, Calif., that ably entertains a loyal crowd of barflies and kids. The Flash, however, is not an ordinary band but one filled with ringers including Bernie Worrell (Parliament/ Funkadelic and Talking Heads) on keyboards, Neil Young’s longtime bass player – the late Rick Rosas, to whom the film is dedicated – and ace session-man drummer Joe Vitale. On lead guitar is an excellent Rick Springfield, who really delivers in the acting department as Streep’s love interest.

Streep has abandoned her three children years ago to pursue a dream of rock and roll stardom and now works days as a checker in a supermarket. When her daughter, Mamie Gummer, loses her husband to an affair and threatens suicide, Streep comes to the rescue. Real-life mother and daughter display a special chemistry when either fighting or making up. When Kline’s new wife, Audra McDonald, comes home, Streep’s visit ends and she returns to her meager life in California.

But there is redemption in the form of her estranged son’s wed-

Quaking Aspen Tree (Populus tremuloides)

free 2 boxes

BY LESLIE REGO

With Good coupon th 9/9 rough /15

O

ne of my favorite summer sounds is the breeze rustling the leaves of the aspen trees right outside our living room doors. As soon as the leaves unfurl in late spring and until a strong autumn wind hits the trees, the susurrus of the leaves creates a musical cadence.

The other day, as I listened to the leaves, I decided to really study them. The leaves are shaped like a heart without the upper bifold curve. They are a soft green color on the front side, a silvery green on the backside, and have a slight scalloped edge. The veins of the leaf break off into many smaller veins, creating a cracked-china type of look. The leaves attach to the branch with a long and flattened petiole (leafstalk), which is light enough so that even the gentlest of breezes will cause the leaves to tremble, thus producing the rustling sound. This also is the origin of the other common name for the quaking aspen tree, trembling aspen, coming from the Latin name, tremuloides.

Aspens have white bark, which is marked by jagged black scars where lower branches have broken off. A stand of aspens is a curious thing. They are really one huge underground organism with an extensive system of roots – roots that can cover as much as 20 acres! These roots are continually sprouting suckers, particularly in areas of sunlight.

It is easy to tell trees that sprout from the same clone; they will all leaf out at the same time, will change colors in the fall at the same time and the colors will even be the same shade of yellow or orange/red! Aspen clones can live to be thousands of years old.

Aspens generally get squeezed out in a high, dense canopy of evergreen trees, since they need sunlight to flourish. But the dormant root system can survive for 100 years or longer. After a forest fire, with the addition of sunlight, the roots will spring back to life and create many new suckers.

Aspens can reproduce sexually through the pendulous catkins that they produce in the spring, but generally they reproduce asexually through their extensive root system.

Visually, aspen trees are a romantic sight, with the silvery undersides of the leaves catching and reflecting the light and the grey/white bark telling the story of time through the marks of fallen branches and the rubbings of deer and elk antlers and other forest animals. Add to that the soothing sounds of the quaking leaves and the trees become one of nature’s most personified entities.

“Time is of the essence in the world of firefighters,” says Fullerton. “The sooner you get ready, the faster you can be on scene to help someone, or fight the fire.”

Fullerton has been with Wood River Fire & Rescue for six years. He also works full time for Acerbis, a motocross company that sells motocross gear, parts and accessories.

In 2004, Scott USA moved Fullerton and his wife here from California to run the Scott USA motocross division. Brian is still a rep for Scott USA. His father was military and he always wanted to do his part for his community, so when his friend Chris Thomas challenged him to go through the local firefighter academy, he was intrigued.

Brian finished the firefighter academy and was influenced to continue with EMT training after he watched an EMT team help his father in a motorcycle accident. The EMT training is intense and not something to be taken lightly. To be able to help save a life or help someone is what it is all about for Brian.

But there is always the other side and you have to learn to cope with a tough call that doesn’t go well. It is also important to learn how to wake up at 2 in the morning be alert and ready to respond to a medical emergency and then go home and go back to sleep so you can wake up and go to work the next day.

YEAH! participants visit Nighthawk Farm to learn about local food sources.

YEAH!

he Maker Movement is a subculture that pushes innovation to the limit, encouraging new applications of technologies. Within the culture, there’s an enthusiasm for invention, prototyping, and applying practical skills in creative new ways.

Makers want to figure out how to make or do stuff on their own. They have a passion for creating, building, and sharing in a gamut of topics including recipes, gardening, sewing, mechanics, and more.

A “maker” is someone who makes stuff: apparel, robots, crafts, food, furniture, art, or electronic gadgets. This term “maker” is described by Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of WIRED magazine, as “a new

photo

category of builders who are using open-source methods and the latest technology to bring manufacturing out of its traditional factory context and into the realm of the personal desktop computer.”

Makers are changing the world through collaboration and connectivity. Communities of makers are inspiring innovation on a daily basis with the creation of smart gadgets, wearable tech, robots, and machines. With access to Makerspaces, makers have the opportunity to collaborate and build cutting-edge prototypes that are leading to products for mass consumption; i.e., the founders of square built their first prototype in a Makerspace.

The Maker Movement will solve the problems of tomorrow and makers are eager to

volunteer. Through the Maker Movement, we will see the development of IoT (Internet of Things) devices that collect the big (and small) data we need to use our limited natural resources to feed 9 billion people, stave off childhood obesity, and solve the STEM education skills gap.

IoT has the potential to make farms, gardens, communities and homes more efficient and productive.

To learn more about the Maker Movement and how you can become a maker, contact the Blaine County Extension office.

A Healthy Lifestyle Program For Kids And Their Families

BY SARAH SEPPA, M.S., R.D., L.D.

Registered Dietitian, St. Luke’s Wood River

I

t’s a Tuesday evening and the Blaine County Recreation District (BCRD) is, as always, buzzing with activity. In one of the classrooms, children and their families are making healthy snacks with fruits and vegetables and everyone is all smiles.

You wouldn’t know it, but only a few weeks prior, some of these parents struggled getting their children to eat these foods. The families are beginning to learn about the health benefits of unprocessed foods, family dinners and, of course, fresh fruits and vegetables.

And the children love it!

Laurie McBride, registered dietitian with St. Luke’s Wood River, teaches the nutritional component of the popular St. Luke’s YEAH! (Youth Engaged in Activities for Health) program. In one of Laurie’s recent classes, families rolled out whole wheat dough and made pizzas loaded with vegetables. Another class included a tour of Nighthawk Farm in Bellevue, providing a fun opportunity to learn about where food comes from and why supporting local farms is important for our community.

Nutrition is not the only component of the YEAH! program. A fitness trainer from the Wood River Community YMCA gets everyone moving, making fitness a family affair. Participants learn the benefits of a strong body, reasons for reducing screen time, activities for hot and cold weather, and more.

The BCRD provides a great space for families to play soccer, basketball, and capture the flag. Families learn how to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives, making it something that the entire family can do together.

The St Luke’s YEAH! program also partners with the Blaine County School District (BCSD). Tod Gunter, BCSD middle school social worker, handles the social/emotional curriculum. He talks about healthy self-esteem and how to manage emotions without using food for comfort.

The program has changed the lives of many families in the Wood River Valley. The children set specific goals that make a real difference in the lifestyle practices of their families. “When a participant achieves a health goal, it’s great to see how proud they are of themselves and the sense of accomplishment on their face,” Laurie says.

One child started growing her own vegetables at home, while another went from watching television after school to riding her bike. he children set goals based on what is most important to their lives, making them realistic and achievable.

Whether it’s cutting out soda every day or joining the track team, these kids make changes and it positively impacts their families. As one parent put it, “I loved having my daughter participate in the program. She is stronger, more active and more conscious of being a healthier person. We had so much fun! Thank you!”

St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation generously supported the spring session of YEAH!, which included 12 participants and their families and was offered in English and Spanish.

To learn more, contact your St. Luke’s primary care provider, school counselor or Laurie McBride at St. Luke’s Wood River, 208727-8356.

Big Hitch In 1884, 26-year-old Horace C. Lewis established the Ketchum Fast Freight Line, operating the “Big Hitch” wagons shown above. When in full operation, Horace had 30 outfits on the road between Ketchum, Bayhorse, Bonanza, Clayton and Challis. They averaged two weeks per round trip of 160 miles, with the wagons averaging 12-16 miles a day. In one season, the Big Hitch hauled 700,000 pounds of bullion to the Oregon Short Line Railroad.

Blaine County Noxious Weeds

Prevention Is The Best Tool • Use weed-free crop seed, manure, and hay.

• Play, Clean, Go! After recreating, clean car and bike tires, brush off shoes and check your dogs for seeds.

• Establish a population of native plants on your property. A list of native plants that do well in south-central Idaho can be found on the noxious weed section of the www.blainecounty.org website.

If choosing to pull noxious weeds on public lands, please bag them, carry them out, and throw them in the garbage. Pulling weeds and leaving them along the trail only helps noxious weeds disperse.

It takes consistent persistence to gain the upper hand on the war on weeds!

We’d like to thank our Cooperative Weed Management Area partners for their dedication to managing noxious weeds, hard work in the hot sun, and sense of humor. Thanks for a great season.

By Blaine County Noxious Weed Department

W

ell, we’ve just about come to the end of noxious weed season.

We want to thank you for following along each week as we’ve presented information about noxious weeds and how our community can work together to manage them.

We also want to thank the Blaine County Bug Crew for writing very informative articles throughout the summer. The Bug Crew is a valuable resource in our community, and we are lucky to have them working to protect land from noxious weeds. There is still some spraying to be done, bugs to be released, and weeds to be mowed, but we’re already thinking about next season and how we can best help property owners manage noxious weeds.

The best tool of all is prevention. Here are a few tips to be thinking about for the rest of this season and on into next year:

elebrate Ketchum’s rich heritage and history with Wagon Days. The Lewis Ore Wagons chronicle the mining history of the Wood River Valley and the industry that put Ketchum on the map. Once a year, these gorgeous, massive wagons are brought out for the public to view and honor.

Wagon Days events take place throughout the week, leading up to the famous Wagon Days Parade. Friday, listen to the vintage Cowboy Poets recite at the Ore Wagon Museum from 1-5 p.m.

Regional Western poets Brian Dilworth, Mick Halverson, Tommie Patton, Wayne Nelson and Bruce (Looselip) Pinson will swap stories, fill the barn with classic cowboy poetry and present contemporary stories.

Bob Rosso, owner of The Elephant’s Perch, is this year’s grand marshal. Join the public in honoring this community man at 5:30 p.m. on Main Street between 5th and 6th. Live music, food and drink will accompany the reception.

“Bob Rosso is someone who gives back to his community,” Ketchum Mayor Nina Jonas said in a recent release. “He has been a dedicated and tireless volunteer for the many causes he champions. I am pleased that we can honor him in this way.”

Keeping with the old adage “when the wagons are rolling, the fiddlers are strolling,” meandering musicians will stroll around town and play at select venues throughout Friday and Saturday. Specific venues include: Cornerstone Bar & Grill, Globus Restaurant, The Grill at Knob Hill, The Kneadery, Perry’s Restaurant, Pioneer Saloon and Sun Valley Wine Company.

“The musicians really bring out the Western flair and excite-

ment of the town, just like the old days,” said Heather LaMonica Deckard, event coordinator.

Saturday is jam-packed with exciting Wagon Days events.

From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Ketchum Town Square plays host to the Children’s Carnival. Bounce in the astro-jump, tackle the climbing wall, bungee run and more with an unlimited all-ride pass for $10. At 10:30 a.m. the Eh-Capa Bareback Riders will demonstrate horse riding and jumping techniques learned from Native Americans, without the aid of saddles or bridles, in Festival Meadows.

The Big Hitch Parade is undoubtedly the centerpiece of the weekend. Crafted in 1958 to showcase Ketchum’s mining history, heritage and the Big Hitch, the parade is now the largest non-motorized spectacle in the Northwest. The event features over 100 entries including museum-quality wagons, buggies, carriages and stagecoaches. The best-preserved ore wagons in the country, the Wagon

Days Big Hitch, is powered by an authentic 20-mule jerkline and guided by muleskinner Bobby Tanner.

“Every time the Big Hitch goes past me, that is my favorite moment of Wagon Days,” mused LaMonica Deckard. “It’s just amazing; you can’t believe it is actually taking place. I’m always impressed because every time is like seeing it for the first time.”

The weekend concludes with the 18th annual Great Wagon Days Duck Race on Sunday.

Thousands of rubber ducks will be launched in the Big Wood River at the Warm Springs Bridge and will race to the finish line at Rotary Park. Live music will accompany the scene from 3-5 p.m. and the ducks will hit the water around 4 p.m. To purchase a duck, visit rotaryduckrace.org.

Join them for an exhibition reception during Gallery Walk on Friday. Several works by Pittman include dog portraiture as well as new works of shoes from interesting angles.

“I love to paint what I like, and I love shoes,” Pittman said.

Pittman works from her studio over a barn in Bellevue, and has been a part-time Valley resident since 1995 and full-time for the last three years with her husband. Pittman will donate a portion of the proceeds from her September show sales at Silvercreek Art to the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley.

In addition to Pittman’s show, “For the Love of Gals and Dogs,” Marybeth Flower and Joe Bauwens will also have new works on exhibition.

‘Peaceable Kingdom’ Exhibition 5-9PM / Lipton Fine Arts / Ketchum Award-winning and accomplished Ketchum-based author and illustrator Jo Rabjohn will have an exhibition reception for “The Peaceable Kingdom” at Lipton Fine Arts on Friday. Rabjohn’s work will be on exhibit at Lipton Fine Arts through Sept. 26 and features watercolors, drawings and her books “Kizuna” and “Goemon.”

“The Peaceable Kingdom” is Rabjohn’s first gallery show in Sun Valley. Rabjohn, a self-taught artist, has her own process of sketching on velum creating each character separately beginning with black and white drawings. She never erases and every shadow she creates is deliberate.

“I create wonder,” Rabjohn said. “It’s inspired by watching the sea creatures at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and imagining what they’re saying to one another.”

Future exhibitions at Lipton Fine Arts will include works by Leslie Rego. For more information, call 248-561-5120. Lipton Fine Arts is located next to the Coffee Grinder, 411 North Leadville Avenue, Ste. 3, in Ketchum.
