TRIAL POSTPONED IN BLAINE COUNTY MURDER CASE
Defense to Argue Defendant Suffers from PTSD BY terry smith
D
isclosure earlier this month that defense attorneys intend to argue that their client in a pending Blaine County murder case suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder has led to postponement of a jury trial that was scheduled to start on Oct. 13 in Blaine County 5th District Court. Postponement of the trial for 51-year-old Keith Eric Blankenship occurred on Sept. 17 in a hearing before district court Judge Jonathan P. Brody. The trial may now be delayed until at least April of 2016. Blankenship is currently charged with second-degree murder for allegedly killing a Hailey man in 2014. Defense attorneys Keith Roark and Douglas Nelson, of The Roark Law Firm in Hailey, claim that Blankenship’s post-traumatic stress disorder, often referred to as PTSD, resulted from a murder-suicide he witnessed in 1977 when his stepfather killed Blankenship’s 14-year-old sister before shooting himself in the head. Furthermore, Roark told The Weekly Sun in an interview on Sept. 18 that the defense intends to claim that PTSD was an influencing factor in the 2014 murder case against Blankenship now pending in court. Revelation of the defense claims came about in a disclosure document Roark and Nelson filed with the court on Sept. 10. According to the document, defense attorneys intend to bring an expert witness to the trial for testimony regarding Blankenship’s claim of PTSD. The expert witness is identified as Dr. Camille A. LaCroix, of Forensic Psychiatry Services of Idaho, in Boise, who Roark and Nelson state may testify that Blankenship suffers from PTSD as a result of the 1977 murder-suicide. Regarding the current murder case against him, the document states that “Mr. Blankenship’s perceptions, responses and actions in this case were influenced by PTSD.” LaCroix’s pending testimony was first discussed in court at a hearing on Sept. 15, when Blaine
news
County Prosecuting Attorney Jim Thomas argued that the testimony should either be disallowed at trial or that the prosecution be given at last 90 days, as required by court rules, to evaluate the PTSD claim. No decision was made at the Sept. 15 hearing and the court reconvened on Sept. 17, when the Oct. 13 trial was vacated by joint agreement between Roark and Thomas. According to minutes of the Sept. 17 hearing, the trial, expected to last two and a half weeks, is now tentatively scheduled to begin on April 12, 2016, which is the next available time frame to hold a lengthy jury trial in Blaine County 5th District Court. PTSD The National Institute of Mental Health defines PTSD as a condition that can occur from a “terrifying ordeal that involved physical harm or the threat of physical harm.” The condition can cause a long-term “fight-orflight” response in people who suffer from it because PTSD can distort a person’s reactions to fear. According to the National Institute of Mental Health: “People who have PTSD may feel stressed or frightened even when they’re no longer in danger.” Roark and Nelson claim that Blankenship suffers from PTSD from the murder-suicide he witnessed at the age of 12 on July 15, 1977, at a bar and restaurant establishment his mother owned and operated at East Magic Reservoir in south Blaine County. In that incident, Blankenship’s stepfather, 38-year-old Dennis Sechrest, killed Blankenship’s sister Dana Blankenship before shooting himself in the head. Sechrest died the following day at Saint Alphonsus hospital in Boise. Also shot to death by Sechrest during the incident was 58-yearold Fred Klamm, a Paul resident who was a customer at the establishment. At the time of the shooting, a divorce was pending between Sechrest and Blankenship’s mother, Nancy Sechrest, who had brought a felony charge against

her husband in April of that year alleging that he had sexually molested her daughter, Dana Blankenship. Keith Blankenship was at the establishment at the time of the shooting. He escaped by running out of the bar area and hiding under a bed. In the current murder case against Keith Blankenship, he is accused in the shooting death of 47-year-old Stephen Michael Romanchuk in a dispute over money on or about Jan. 15, 2014, at Blankenship’s residence on Deer Creek Road north of Hailey. According to police reports, Blankenship turned himself in to the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office on May 14, 2014, and admitted to shooting Romanchuk but claimed he did so in self-defense. The partially decomposed body of Romanchuk, who had been missing since January of that year, was found the following day buried in a pile of leaves at Blankenship’s home. In addition to the second-degree murder charge, Blankenship is also charged with a second felony of concealing evidence. He has remained incarcerated on $500,000 bond in the Blaine County jail since his arrest on May 14, 2014. tws

CHARTER SCHOOL STILL WANTS TO WORK WITH SCHOOL DISTRICT Syringa Concerned About Funding and Educational Opportunities BY TERRY SMITH
S
yringa Mountain School, Blaine County’s new state-funded charter school now in its second year of operation, is still interested in pursing a collaborative relationship with the Blaine County School District. Syringa Board Chair Greg Bloomfield told The Weekly Sun in an interview Tuesday that becoming part of the school district is only one option, but that Sy-

ringa would also like to pursue establishing collaborative efforts in educational and operational areas. “There are kids who go to our schools that function much better in a structure that we provide than in the structure of a school district,” Bloomfield said. Bloomfield said Syringa is in the process of renewing a request made to the Blaine County School District board of trustees in December of 2014 to begin a dialogue between the two school

boards. The issue reached somewhat of an impasse this summer, with the district requesting more information on Syringa operations and Syringa wanting instead to first hold a workshop between the two boards. Bloomfield said he is in the process of preparing information to meet the district’s request and to once again suggest in a letter that a dialogue be started. Continued Syringa Page 9

David Barovetto is a professional architect who is running for Sun Valley mayor.
A Special Thanks To Our Sponsors:
DAVID BAROVETTO Candidate for Sun Valley mayor BY Dick Dorworth
D
avid Barovetto decided to run for mayor of Sun Valley because he believes the community must pull together in its efforts to support the Sun Valley brand as the “Queen of American Resorts.” “The spirit of this community needs a bit of uplifting,” Barovetto said, adding that he is the man to do the lifting, suggesting that he has the physique for the job. At 6 feet, 7 inches tall, and weighing 235 pounds, Barovetto is a former basketball player who has also played rugby and volleyball and is a lifetime skier. In 2009, Barovetto ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Sun Valley City Council, and prior to that he ran unsuccessfully for a position on the Blaine County Board of Commissioners. Nonetheless, he remains confident in this year’s election. He has long been an active participant in community projects, and said he enjoys “creating things,” an interest he believes has contributed to the larger Wood River Valley’s wellbeing. Barovetto was instrumental in proposing Ketchum’s Ore Wagon Museum 30 years ago in a cooperative effort with former Ketchum Mayor Jerry Seiffert. A decade later, Barovetto coached local skateboarders who proposed the creation of the Guy Coles Skate Park in Ketchum. He is also the organizer of the “Poets and Meandering Musicians” events of the past three Wagon Days celebrations. As a longtime local architect, Barovetto has appeared before the governing boards and planning and zoning commissions of Blaine County, Sun Valley, Ketchum and Hailey on numerous occasions. This experience, he said, has helped him understand the differences and nuanc
es in policies and personalities between the communities and will help him to promote cooperation and communication in the governing of Sun Valley. Barovetto said his interest in such interpersonal dynamics is exemplified by his experience as a Cub Scout pack leader in which six of the eight scouts in his care came from broken homes. He said he found great satisfaction in helping them adjust to their new lives in the Valley. Originally from California, Barovetto was born in Fresno and raised in Davis. He refers to himself as a “a second-generation Italian architect” because his father had an architectural practice in nearby Sacramento. He is also a second-generation skier, as his family owned a cabin near Edelweiss Ski Area near Lake Tahoe. Barovetto studied architecture at the University of Oregon. He said it took him longer than normal to graduate because “I was making sure I understood everything.” He first visited Sun Valley in 1968. He said he “immediately fell in love with the skiing, the area, the community” and soon with his life partner, Paula Starr. Returning in 1970, Barovetto was offered a job to supervise condominium development for Sun Valley Company. He said he immediately accepted. He later married Paula and the couple had three children, a son, Sean, who is a chef at Knob Hill Inn in Ketchum, and two daughters, Krystal and Darian, who live in San Francisco. Tragically, Paula passed away in 2009 and David remembers her as “an incredible woman who taught me how to find the joy.” He said she remains an inspiration for him to pursue his passion, for both life and for the wellbeing of the Wood River tws Valley.

Ketchum Innovation Center helps launch new business
The Ketchum Innovation Center announced Sept. 17 that it has helped launch a new online business called WinUru in Hailey. A press release describes WinUru as a “gamified marketplace platform that leverages proprietary, win-money, promotional games to cost-effectively attract, retain and motivate buyers to purchase products from online retailers.” According to the press release, following a presentation at the Innovation Center’s Pitch Night in December 2014, WinUru was able to obtain $700,000 in seed money from more than a dozen Sun Valley area-based investors. Innovation Center Director Jon Duval stated that the foundation of WinUru is a “prime example of what we are trying to do here at the KIC. This is a company that could have a significant impact on our local economy, bringing in year-round, non-tourism jobs.” Additional information on WinUru is available at www.WinUru.com.

Ketchum Puts Kaibosh On Bottled Water
T
SEARCH SUSPENDED FOR MISSING HIKER
he Blaine County Sheriff’s Office reported Tuesday that the search has been suspended for a Hailey man who has been missing in the mountains northeast of Sun Valley for more than a week. “We’re just running out of resources,” said Sheriff Gene Ramsey. “Obviously, this is not the outcome that we were hoping for, but after eight intensive days of searching we have ex-
hausted our options and technical and human resources.” The search for 25-year-old Luke Richardson was started on Monday, Sept. 14, after he failed to show up at work following a solo hiking trip he was reported making during the Sept. 12 weekend in the area of Trail Creek Summit. The search included both ground crews with trained dogs and aircraft.
News local
Ramsey said more than 2,000 man-hours had been expended searching a 51-square-mile area. “We have conducted a thorough search of the area and, at this point, feel further searches would not yield any new clues,” Ramsey said. “Based upon the widespread area that has been searched and the nature of the terrain, we feel that we cannot further endanger the safety of our technical teams. tws
ELECTION ROUNDUP
BY THE WEEKLY SUN STAFF
T
he Ketchum City Council has decided to ban sales and distribution of water bottled in single-use containers on city property and at city events. The council members unanimously approved a resolution to do so at a council meeting on Monday, while also discouraging the packaging of products in plastic bags and foam containers. “The ban is part of Ketchum’s efforts to set an example as an ecologically sensitive community,” Mayor Nina Jonas told council members when she introduced the resolution. “As a society, we are needlessly spending money on bottled water that often is lower quality than tap water. We then put the bottles, made of billions of pounds of oil-based plastic, into the landfill. We use even more resources to transport water – often from other continents.” The resolution also encourages the use of biodegradable plates, beverage containers and utensils on city property when single-use products are needed. Ketchum plans to buy hydration stations, making it easier for people to fill their own water bottles at public events and city meetings. “Water from the tap is safe, tastes great, and comes from local sources,” the resolution states. The city tests municipal drinking water more than 50 times a year, according to a recent news release from the city. Cities across the country, from San Francisco to Concord, Mass., have instituted various bans on bottled water. tws

Five apply for school board vacancy
The Blaine County School District announced Friday that five people have applied for a vacancy on the district board of trustees that was created by the resignation of former Trustee Kathy Baker from her Zone 2 position in July. Zone 2 encompasses the east Hailey and north Bellevue areas. The applicants, all residents of Zone 2, are Jeannie Bradshaw, a former district employee with an associate degree in education; Cami Bustos, the owner of Sawtooth Agency in Bellevue; Heather Colvin, an officer with the Wood River High School PTA; Laurie Kaufman, who served as district clerk of the board until her retirement earlier this year; and Sonia Munoz, a legal assistant to the Christopher P. Simms Law Office in Hailey. Applicants will be interviewed as a group by the board of trustees at a special public meeting scheduled for 4 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24, in the Minnie Moore Room 301 at the Community Campus on Fox Acres Road in Hailey. The district announced in a press release that the board intends to select a new trustee at the conclusion of the interviews.

Taking a Look at the South Valley Candidates BY MARIA PREKEGES
O
n November 3, voters will head to the polls. Those in the south part of the Wood River Valley will find few choices on their ballots, as candidates in Bellevue and Hailey are running unopposed. However, south Valley voters will get to participate in a couple races the Valley hasn’t seen for a number of years. Though voters in Bellevue and Hailey won’t be deciding between candidates, they will see some new faces in office. Meanwhile, the Wood River Fire Protection District will hold two races this year that don’t come up very often because the district is not legally required to hold an election when a candidate is unopposed BELLEVUE Bellevue voters will find four names on the ballot for three positions of alderman; however, only three candidates are actually running. Tyler Peterson filed to run, but has since withdrawn—after the withdrawal deadline—so his name will appear on the ballot. Incumbents Dave Hattula and Janet Duffy are not seeking re-election. Incumbent Lisa Phillips earlier filed for re-election but has since withdrawn. Bellevue residents seeking the seats up for election, each for a two-year term, are Shaun Mahoney, Anne M. Mulick and Larry Plott. Mahoney and Plott have both served previously as aldermen. HAILEY Hailey voters will find their ballot more sparse than usual, with only one name on the ballot for each of the three offices up for election. The offices include mayor as well as two city council seats. Each candidate is running for a four-year term. Incumbent Mayor Fritz Haemmerle first won his seat in 2011 by defeating former Mayor Rick Davis. Prior to that, he served four years on the Hailey City
Council. Haemmerle still practices law full time. While his position and the two council seats are unopposed, Haemmerle encourages voters to get out and get involved anyway. “I’d like to see it not so much voting, but participating,” he said. “I like to see participation by people and encourage their input.” Whether it be at council meetings or on city streets, Haemmerle said he enjoys receiving ideas and input. Hailey City Council Seat #3 is also up for election. The seat has been occupied since 2002 by Carol Brown, who is not seeking re-election. “The time is right for me to step down,” Brown said. “The city is in great hands with the current administration, council and superb staff.” Colleen Teevin is seeking the post instead. She is the owner of the Cloverstone wholesale gluten-free bakery and this is her first time running for public office. “I love this town and I want to be more intimately involved with what makes it so great and to help navigate out issues as they come up,” Teevin said. City Council Seat #4 has incumbent Pat Cooley seeking re-election for a second term after he first started serving in 2012. Cooley is also a supervisor for the water department in Ketchum. WOOD RIVER FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT There are two races for commissioner for the Wood River Fire Protection District. In Sub-District 1, Seth Martin is running against incumbent James Frehling, who has served in the post since 1992. Martin is employed by the Ketchum Fire Department. In Sub-District 3, Melanie McCray Nevins, the owner and operator of Silver Bell Ranch, has challenged incumbent Allen Luray, who has held the office since 2008.

Wood River High School junior Mackenzie Shardlow has a love for marine biology.
MACKENZIE SHARDLOW Aspires to be a marine biologist BY JONATHAN KANE
Mackenzie Shardlow, a junior at Wood River High School with a 3.8 grade point average, has a deep love of biology – especially marine biology. “It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is,” she said. “It’s everything – cells, genetics, evolution – it’s all interesting to me. It also opens up so many opportunities, as you can pursue a career as a doctor, marine biologist or in fields involved with chemistry.” Shardlow describes marine biology as the study of aquatic life, including “coral reefs, sharks, dolphins and whales.” “But it includes the entire ocean, not just animals,” she said. “You also study the water and measure it for prevention purposes and to improve the quality of it.” Shardlow attributes her attraction to marine biology to a trip she took to SeaWorld while an elementary school student. “After going there, I said that I want to do this,” she said. “Of course, I recently saw the film ‘Blackfish’ and feel that all torture should be stopped. Animals become more aggressive when put in confined spaces as opposed to their habitat. “I’m playing with the idea of my senior project being a study of how different animals react to confined spaces as opposed to their natural habitat. “Hopefully, I’ll get to go to the University of Washington, which has one of the best marine biology programs in the country,” Shardlow said. “I also have dreams of doing an internship my freshman year with the possibility of going to Hawaii, Florida, California, Texas or Washington.” In the meantime, Shardlow
stays busy at WRHS where she is a member of National Honor Society, a member of the student council, a member of the Student Conservation Council at the Wood River Land Trust, plays volleyball and softball, and still has time to work at her family’s restaurant – Cowboy Cocina in Hailey. Her course load this semester includes Advanced Placement Language and Composition, Biology, Chemistry, Algebra II and French IV. Shardlow joined the Wood River Land Trust’s Student Conservation Council last year. “I was compelled by the book ‘The Elephant Whisperer,’” she said, “which was so inspiring and got me thinking about conservation.” The council is comprised of students from area high schools and they meet once a month to discuss problems such as global warming. “I looked into programs in the Valley and applied and got the last spot,” she said. “Last year we had a project out Greenhorn Gulch and planted and reseeded 15 acres of land. “Being a part of the group has been absolutely amazing. It’s a big eye-opener all the problems in the Valley that you don’t see. Our meetings really give you something to look forward to at the end of the month. “Anything that you can change or improve in the Valley is great,” she said.

John Dunne Health, Stress and Habitual Thinking: Insights from a Mindful Perspective.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2015 • 6PM THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL John Dunne (PhD 1999, Harvard University) holds a newly endowed position in the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, with a co-appointment in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literature. For more information please contact Ryan Redman: ryan@flourishfoundation.org
In addition to the potential for educational and operational collaboration, Bloomfield said Syringa remains concerned about a funding differential that allows the district to spend about $10,000 more per year per student than the charter school. The differential is mainly caused by the fact that charter schools in Idaho are not allowed to collect property taxes. As a result, Syringa relies heavily on donations and fundraisers. With the addition of about $4,500 per student in state funding, Syringa is able to spend about $6,500 per student per year. The school district receives about the same amount per student in state funding, but the addition of property tax revenues allows the district to spend about $16,500 per student per year. “The funding would certainly provide a level playing field for our school compared to their schools,” Bloomfield said. “We operate what I would call lean and mean, and that means our employees have to do more than teaching.” Syringa, approved as a state charter school by the Idaho Charter School Commission in 2013, opened in south Hailey at the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year with about 130 students grades K-5. Syringa expanded this year with a sixth grade and now has an enrollment of about 145. The school uses the Waldorf teaching methodology, which Syringa describes as educating the whole child through traditional studies combined with education in arts, sustainable living and experiential learning. The Waldorf methodology also minimizes the use of technology at lower grade levels. Dialogue Syringa first formally requested a “dialogue” be started between its board of directors and the district board of trustees in a letter and presentation from Bloomfield to the district school board in December of 2014. District Board Chair Shawn Bennion initially responded in a letter to Bloomfield that the district would research the legal implications of a formal relationship, including the possibility of adopting Syringa as a magnet school for Waldorf

methodology studies. In another letter Jan. 12, Bennion wrote to Bloomfield that the district was starting development of a new strategic plan and would postpone any decisions about collaborative relationships until after the plan was finished. After completion of the new strategic plan, district Superintendent GwenCarol Holmes on June 8 wrote to Mary Gervase, former director of Syringa, that the district was required to conduct “due diligence” as required by law before any decisions could be made regarding development of a new relationship with Syringa. In her letter, Holmes requested that Syringa provide 39 items or types of materials for the school district to consider, including curriculums, student test scores, teacher certification requirements, property inventories, information on health, safety and security systems, financial information, proof of zoning and building compliance, employee benefits and contracts and transportation plans. Bloomfield responded to the Holmes letter on July 16, stating that the information was being collected but once again requesting that discussions start first between the Syringa and district boards. Bloomfield said Tuesday that fulfilling the school district request for information has required significant staff time but that Syringa employees are neartws ly finished putting a response together.

Hailey Chamber seeking new directors
The Hailey Chamber of Commerce announced Friday that it is seeking applicants for appointment as new directors to serve on the chamber board. “We are looking for people with ideas on how to promote Hailey businesses as well as the community and that are willing to be nominated for a director position,” the chamber stated in a press release. “If you are committed to the well-being of Hailey and would like to be a part of an enthusiastic board, we would like to consider you for a position.” A director’s first term is for two years with the option for reelection up to twice. Interested parties should contact Joan Don WinUru is available at www.WinUru.com. 8
hey say there are only two things in life that are guaranteed: death and taxes. And, in reality, it is only death that is truly certain in life. If death is the only sure thing in life, then why do people typically have a hard time talking about it? One movement, called Death Café, is trying to change all that, and is attempting to make talking about death a little easier and more open. The deathcafe.com website states that the objective of the movement is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives. A Death Café is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.” One Hailey woman is willing to broach the subject and has become involved with this nationally recognized group and is bringing the conversation of death to the Wood River Valley. Kate Riley is the founder and director of KateRiley. org, a website addressing life and death issues. Riley is a certified death midwife, minister, educator, advocate, international story consultant and author. With 25 years working in

the medical field, and over a decade working as a story consultant, Riley brings her skills of deep listening to her work. She began her work in the field of death and dying after completing her training with Hospice in 1988. She says she had no idea at the time where it would all lead. “When I first heard about a Death Café open to the public in Boise, I was immediately intrigued,” she said. “I am a certified death midwife, and my death and dying partner, Susan Randall, was the one behind it. “It was several years ago and I would say there were about 40 people in attendance. The third café I attended in Boise had to be moved to a larger venue because of the growing interest. “Shifting out of the old paradigm and into a new one is what it is all about,” Riley said. “The baby boomers don’t want institutional deaths. Most want to die at home surrounded by loved ones. We baby boomers are also watching our parents age. In addition, more and more doctors are writing books about having the conversation, something that wasn’t part of their medical training.” As the death café movement expands, so does the discussion in these cafés. Attendees are now talking about everything from advanced care directives to grieving

rituals, and in the end, the conversation ends up being about not how people die, but how they live. There are more than 2,000 Death Cafés organized in more than 30 countries with more cafés popping up routinely. The first Death Café in the Wood River Valley was held on Sept. 16, and two more are scheduled to take place on Oct. 21 and Nov.18 at 6:30 p.m. at Light on the Mountains Center for Spiritual Living south of Ketchum.

Sun Valley Ranked 2nd By SKI Magazine Readers By The Weekly Sun Staff
T
he votes have been tallied and Sun Valley Resort is ranked #2 Overall Resort in North America by the 2016 SKI Magazine Reader’s Poll, currently on newsstands. The resort was also awarded the top spot for Overall Satisfaction. This year, Sun Valley Resort earned more top rankings than ever before in a number of categories, including Lifts, Grooming, Character, and Kid-Friendly (#1); Service, On-Mountain Food, Dining, Off-Hill Activities, and Terrain Parks (all #2’s); and Lodging (#3). The resort was ranked within the top 10
for additional categories such as Après-Ski and Scenery. “We are so honored to receive this recognition from SKI Magazine readers,” said Tim Silva, Sun Valley Resort vice president and general manager. “It truly speaks volumes to the dedicated efforts of our Sun Valley Resort staff, ownership, and the greater community to consistently deliver a superior guest experience.” SKI Magazine’s survey, now in its 28th year, provides an annual review of the top 50 resorts in North America with readers ranking resorts in 20 different categories including Snow, Lifts, Dining, and Service. The
SKI survey is the longest-running annual resort survey in the winter sports industry. Last year Sun Valley Resort was #3 overall. With the 2015-2016 ski season kicking off Sun Valley’s 80th anniversary year, the resort is experiencing a renaissance. In June, the resort re-opened the iconic Sun Valley Lodge, complete with expanded guest rooms and luxurious bathrooms; debuted the new Spa at Sun Valley, a 20,000-square-foot spa and wellness facility; and reinvented several dining establishments. This will be the first winter season that guests can experience the new property.
This will also be the first full winter season for holders of the Mountain Collective pass to enjoy Sun Valley. Added in March, Sun Valley is only one of three U.S. resorts to join the Collective in 2015-2016, offering passholders access to 11 dream ski destinations with more than 40,500 acres of terrain and an unmatched reputation for snow quality, quantity, and steeps. “Now, more than ever, this is the perfect time for guests to enjoy Sun Valley – both longtime fans and those visiting for the first time,” said Silva. “With the recognition in the pages of SKI Magazine, to the completely reimagined Sun Valley Lodge and
new spa, and our partnership with Mountain Collective, we are providing guests what they desire: exceptional hospitality matched with a singular ski experience.” Sun Valley Resort opens for the 2015-2016 winter season on November 26. tws

P
erpetual autumn. This is the sense that we get this time of year as we string together beautiful day after beautiful day, hatch after hatch and fish after fish, until one day a dark gray sky rolls in, ushering in winter. With autumn comes all the good stuff that goes with it. Upland bird hunters have begun chukar and Hun seasons. The grouse season is well underway and throughout the valley wing shooters are reporting excellent days in the field. Fall also brings on the Mahogany Dun, which has finally showed up on the Creek. After a long season of watching the fish get smarter and smarter, the Mahogany Dun seems to be all that is needed to turn the fish “less smart” again. Expect the Mahogany hatch to really pick up steam by the weekend when cooler temperatures again arrive to turn leaves yellow and remind everyone it’s firewood season. The Western Red Quill also continues to produce spectacular days on the Big Wood, again bringing fish to the surface with a little more abandon, and making all of us fly anglers feel like there is hope for us in the low flows of the later season. The biggest common thread on all our rivers right now is the fall Baetis. This tiny insect is a favorite of local trout, as the diminutive size is more than made up for by the abundant volume of insects hatching. Keep in mind that when you fish this hatch, the fish are really keyed up on the movement of this little bug. The constantly swinging abdomen is a sure sign for the fish that they are eating the real thing! The best way to imitate this movement is to fish an extended body fly on an open loop, allowing the fly to swing freely on its hackle tips. Anglers can read about this technique in more detail, as well as other “tricks of the trade,” in John Huber’s book, “Lessons of Fairsized Creek”. Our more distant fisheries, like the South Fork of the Boise and the Big Lost River, are also fishing very well, although the daily windows are shrinking rapidly, forcing anglers into the choice of long drive versus short hatch, or staying local to maximize fishing time. Now is truly one of the best times of the year to fish and, like the trout, anglers need to take advantage of the waning warm days and fish hard until Old Man Winter decides it’s time for yet another change.

may be a dinosaur in a new world, a concept reinforced when I attended a seminar at the Community Campus (sponsored by KMVT) on digital media marketing. While the presentation was illuminating and brought me up to date on advanced ways I can market my skills, a disturbing major concern crept up that I hadn’t fully anticipated. First, I must relate the session’s positives. When I taught high school English before the “Internet age,” even then one of my underlying teaching precepts was that my students should be equipped to be flexible in the brave new world coming on at a rapid pace. At Beverly Hills High School in 1980, one of my students requested the then novel use of a word processor for her term paper. I learned from her a much easier way to write and have not regretted the loss of yellow legal tablets, cutting and pasting and using white-out – though I still final edit on hard copies. What the seminar stressed is how ways of communicating have irrevocably changed, and that those of us who don’t use the latest available tools of expression are missing out. That said, my Stegosaurus side noted especially Courtesy photo telling pictures on JoEllen Collins—a longtime the big screen show- resident of the Wood River ing the absolute Valley—is a teacher, writer, reality of the 2015 fabric artist, choir member Web and its many and unabashedly proud outlets – on TV grandma known as “Bibi Jo.” screens, monitors, laptop computers, tablets, smartphones, watches – and all sorts of other new possibilities for obtaining and disseminating information. What disturbed me were several displays, one of a family in the ’50s gathered around a TV together (oh “I love Lucy”), paired with a current family watching a feature at home on five different devices, each absorbed alone. Next was a photo of the crowds at the Vatican during Pope Benedict’s 2005 appointment to the papacy, with another massive gathering at the ascension of Pope Francis in 2013. In 2005, we saw only a few lit-up devices and cameras; in 2013, one could barely see people because of the omnipresent lights from smartphones and other cameras. I like being alone: reading a book is a solitary pleasure. However, I delight in seeing movies alongside a fellow audience, sharing laughter, tears and even fear. I will miss that closeness when looking at my smartphone. Better to hear opera alone than not, but the shows with music lovers in Hailey are an improvement, and, if I could afford it, I would recreate the experiences of opera like the one I had on opening night in Sienna’s 12th-century opera house, surrounded by ladies whose furs still smelled like mothballs, all of us crying at the magic of the performance. Nothing like it. As I finish this sadly realistic article, I receive on my smartphone a photo of my granddaughter, the immediacy of which is magic, too. To get something like this, one has to give up something else. Guess I have to be tolerant of the changes in the world but search out ways to still share with others, TOGETHER, life’s experiences. tws

Know Your A Farmer By Stacy Whitman
T
his summer, in my hometown in New Jersey, I spotted delicious-looking peaches at a farmers’ market. I asked the vendor if they had been sprayed with synthetic pesticides. “I don’t know,” he answered, stating gruffly that he didn’t grow them. He wasn’t the producer, nor was he aware of the farming practices used. I was instantly appreciative of the accountability inherent to smaller communities like ours. At Wood River Farmers’ Markets, third-party sellers or scams are unlikely. Market rules stipulate that all food must be produced within 100 miles of the Ketchum-Hailey area, and farmers must sign an affidavit ensuring that they themselves grow what they sell. While it need not be certified organic, sustainable farming methods are required. Some people feel safer consuming foods from supermarkets that are labeled “organic.” However, this label doesn’t mean it’s safe. Not only are many organic products produced and inspected in foreign countries like China and Mexico, but the current organic certification actually allows some amount of chemicals and pesticides in a product. The beauty of purchasing locally produced food – especially directly from the farmer, as with Wood River Valley Farmers’ Markets – is that you can find out how it was grown. Unlike large grocery chains where food passes through multiple hands between the farmer and your plate, farmers’ markets and local food providers cut out the middle people. Simply get to know your farmers and producers; look them in the eye and ask questions. For great suggestions on what to ask them, visit www. tinyurl.com/tws-questions.In the words of the late Dan Freeman of Shooting Star Farms in Hailey, “If your market is local, you don’t need anyone to tell you you’re doing it the right way. It’s about trust.” Know your farmer… or know your doctor! Stacy Whitman is the communications director for The Local Food Alliance, a nonprofit that aspires to create a healthy local food system and establish food security in the Wood River Valley.

no bones about it
BY FRAN JEWELL
Nipping It In The Bud
fter a dog has bitten, or threatened to bite, it’s no longer nipping it in the bud. This is true for all unwanted dog behaviors. While, yes, there are things you can do as an “intervention” once a dog has started down the wrong path, it becomes much more difficult and time consuming, and takes a HUGE commitment on the owner’s part. PREVENTION, PREVENTION, PREVENTION is ALWAYS the best way to help dogs grow up healthy and well-adjusted. There are a few things that can promote prevention. The first is choosing the right puppy or dog. Many people choose a dog based on color or cuteness but often do not realize that there are genetic behaviors than can be tested for early on to help you understand what behaviors you may be facing later on. Dogs and puppies can be tested for “prey drive,” “pack drive” and “biddability” (obedience) before being selected for your particular household. A dog with a naturally high prey drive can be very difficult to live with and become a nipper easily without proper instruction and leadership. A dog with good food motivation can be much easier to train. And dogs that are “middle of the road” are a blessing to live with. These things can be tested for prior to your selection with the help of an experienced dog behavior expert. EARLY training is IMPERATIVE – hopefully before a puppy turns 16 weeks old. This is a critical imprinting time when dogs learn things that they will
active art
do the rest of their lives. That includes both good and bad behaviors. If a dog is taught not to jump on people early on, it’s much easier. If you wait until your dog is six months old to stop the jumping, it becomes a HUGE task. Don’t wait until your puppy has had all of its shots!!! So much can be done at home with a private trainer that will set your dog up for success. The environment a dog is exposed to is another critical component to prevention. We have all heard about socialization, BUT, socialization does not mean just getting your dog together with other dogs to play endlessly. It means everything you expose your dog to, such as rides in the car, friends and their healthy, safe dogs coming over to visit. It means going safe (from parvo) places to experience new vegetation, streams – the great outdoors. Socialization also means teaching your dog that they can play with other dogs in a CONTROLLED fashion such as sitting and relaxing before romping, and being called out of play for a reward, then being allowed to play again. With proper instruction early on, your dog can learn social manners that make life so much easier. The point is that EARLY work with your dog through good selection fitting for your home, early training and excellent socialization with some controls built in can PREVENT unwanted behaviors that can be destructive. Nipping something in the bud means PREVENTING it, not waiting until an incident becomes a problem, then trying to stop it. As my mom would

column movie review
very September brings the start of a new school year, and with every new school year comes the persistent need for school supplies. All students deserve the chance to start the school year prepared and with a backpack full of what they need. Proper preparation can lead to great success, and every child deserves this jump start. School supplies might seem like a very obvious and basic need to some, but for some local families buying school supplies can become a financial hardship. Our small valley is not void of families that require an extra helping hand and a solution to this problem was desperately needed. To help solve this problem locally and to make sure no student went to his or her first day of school without the proper supplies, The Advocates teamed up with the Blaine County Education Foundation on a school supply drive for Wood River Valley children. Donation boxes where set up all over the Valley at various businesses to help collect backpacks, pencils, notebooks and other needed school supplies. In addition to these local business drives, the Idaho Bar Association also held a school supply drive at their annual conference in August at Sun Valley Resort. Other local businesses, such as Jane’s Artifacts, Atkinsons’ Market, Albertsons and the Lee Pesky Learning Center provided monetary donations so that more supplies could be purchased. After the collection process took place, volunteers from The Advocates, the Blaine County Education Foundation and Wood River Insurance gathered on Aug. 26 and Aug. 29 at the Community Campus in Hailey to assemble all the gathered goods into complete backpacks for students ranging from elementary school age up through high school age. Distribution of the backpacks then took place on Wednesday, Sept. 2 and Thursday, Sept. 3. Thank you to all the volunteers, businesses, employees and individuals that made this drive for school supplies possible. Your time and contributions made it possible to assemble and deliver over 135 well-stocked backpacks for local students!

The Past Can Haunt BY JONATHAN KANE
I
n the new multilayered Hitchcockian thriller, “The Gift,” the past has bite. Part of the psycho revenge mystery genre a la “Fatal Attraction,” “The Gift” has so much more to offer than many of these films because it doesn’t stoop to conquer but, rather, lets the superb writing, acting and direction carry the load. This is not to say that there aren’t some scream-worthy thrills and a twisted ending that I would never give away. But the film also takes a look at the dark underside of corporate ladder climbing and the destructiveness of bullying. The real story here is that the movie has been written, directed and acted in by Joel Edgerton – playing the creepy Gordo. Edgerton was last seen as Tom Buchanan in “The Great Gatsby” and his directorial debut bodes well for great expectations. As the couple he torments, we have Jason Bateman in perhaps his best performance to date, and Rebecca Hall. The couple has recently transplanted to Los Angeles from Chicago when the ambitious Bateman lands a plum job. There are hints at a miscarriage and some emotional turmoil for Hall but Bateman seems firm on moving on. Into their lives enters Ed
gerton as an old high school classmate of Bateman. Meeting casually, he is soon turning up at their house with gifts and advice for Hall. Menacingly, these visits are always on a weekday while Bateman is away at work. Soon the dog is missing and the koi fish that he brought as a gift are floating lifeless in the fishpond. Then there is the letter with the ominous notation of ‘let’s let bygones be bygones.’ Later in the film, Edgerton intones to Bateman, “You are done with the past, but the past is not done with you.” This is certainly an understatement, but you’ll have to see the film to find out why. tws

his fall, Company of Fools presents “August: Osage County,” an exciting new American classic that is deeply human. The Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play runs Sept. 30–Oct. 17 at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. “We were interested in having something in the season that was rich, meaty and rare,” said John Glenn, Core Company Artist. Tracy Letts’ brutally hilarious drama explores dysfunctional family dynamics. When Beverly Weston vanishes, his family gathers to the scene to aid his punitive, pill-popping wife. Little do they know they’re in for a reunion they will never forget. Secrets are revealed, family members are betrayed and relationships dissipate. “The play is very carefully crafted in how information is presented, what’s presented when, and how something resonates later on in the play where a seed has been dropped,” said guest director John Moon, who is making his COF debut. “It’s like a car crash happening in front of you and you can’t stop looking,” added Glenn. The action of the play takes place inside the home of Beverly and Violet Weston, outside

Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The set for this production expands outside the traditional proscenium arch, materializing the metaphor of a household coming apart. Set designer Joe Lavigne got his inspiration from his daughter’s dollhouse. “The image that really stuck with me was a dollhouse from hell,” he said. In the dollhouse are 13 distinct characters with their own arc and emotional needs. “As each character comes in, they all turn the heat up a little bit more,” explained cast member Tim Blough. “You never know when that thing is going to blow, but you know it’s going to blow at some point.” Cast members agree that the 2013 movie adaptation of the play is a different animal than the stage drama. “Tracy Letts’ poetry is incredible,” Moon said. “He elevates dialogue to another level that I think movies have a hard time copying because they’re so visual. The movie missed so much of the comedy!” “Additionally, putting us all in the same room – actors and audience – breathing the same air, you can literally feel some of the emotions that are happening – from the people next to you, from the people on stage, from a

house in crisis,” said cast member David Janeski, who portrays Little Charles. This gut-wrenching comedy is rich and extremely human. “Almost every human flaw – that we all possess – is somehow mixed into this story,” explained Danielle Kennedy, who plays the story’s harsh matriarch Violet. Danielle is a Company of Fools Company Artist, having appeared and directed several COF shows, and can be recognized from her work as Ambassador Noonan in the original Netflix series “Narcos.” For Courtney Loving, who plays Karen Weston, the play provides a life lesson that she hopes will translate to the audience. “The ability to laugh at ourselves when we are feeling sad or hurt is profound and healing,” she smiled. Tickets for the performance are $35 for full price, $30 for seniors and Center members and $15 for students (18 and under). Tickets may be purchased online at sunvalleycenter.org, by phone at 208-578-9122 or at The Liberty Theatre box office starting one hour prior to curtain. Company of Fools’ box office is located at The Liberty Theatre, 110 N. Main Street in Hailey. tws

The Magic Lantern Cinemas 27th annual Fall Film Festival continues with two more weeks of independent films. This week’s featured films include “Grandma,” which was an official selection at the 2015 Sundance and Tribeca film festivals. “The film is largely about moving on from loss through wit and empathy and the ability to say ‘screw you,’” said “Grandma’s” director Paul Weitz. “Listen To Me Marlon,” also screening at the Festival, is the definitive Marlon Brando cinema documentary. The film journeys into the mind of one of the most captivating and influential actors of all time. Created using Brando’s vast archive of personal audio, the documentary charts his exceptional career as an actor and extraordinary life away from the stage and screen. The Festival additionally presents “5 Flights Up,” a movie about life, love and frustration. Set in New York City, the film stars Cynthia Nixon, Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman. A husband (Freeman) and wife (Keaton) spend a hectic weekend pondering the sale of the apartment they’ve shared for more than 40 years.

She is visiting Ketchum on her way to Jackson Hole, where she is to receive an outstanding lifetime achievement award at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival. “The space available for elephants is dwindling and what is left has become increasingly difficult and dangerous for them to navigate,” Poole explained. “I’m going to speak about elephants in this rapidly changing world—about how elephants are adjusting their behavior in response to us, how they assess risk, how they coordinate and plan their actions to avoid us or, sometimes, to retaliate.” Poole has studied elephants and worked for their conservation and welfare for 40 years and is a world authority on their reproductive, communicative and cognitive behavior.

The 2nd annual Sun Valley Film Noir Series will conclude with a screening of the steamy and seductive 1981 film “Body Heat.” Tickets are $10 and available at the Magic Lantern Cinemas box office. “‘Body Heat’s’ Kathleen Turner operates in an era of sexual liberation and feminism,” said Greg Olson, curator of the 2nd annual Sun Valley Film Noir Series and founder of the Seattle Art Museum’s Film Noir Series. “She’s more free to use her body and her cunning willpower to entrap a hapless man.” In “Body Heat,” Turner and William Hurt’s sweltering beach town stokes their lust for sex and money. During a particularly intense Florida heat wave, inept lawyer Ned Racine (Hurt) begins an affair with 2 Locations: Matty (Turner), the wife of wealthy businessman Edmund Walker (Richard Crenna). Matty soon makes it clear to Ned that she wants to leave Edmund but also wants his money, explaining that a divorce would leave her with very little due to their prenuptial agreement. Racine suggests the only option is to kill Edmund, consultsSt. one•ofHailey, his shadier 210 and S. Main ID clients, Teddy Lewis (Mickey Rourke), who supplies him with a bomb.
