Cloud-Seeding Operation Expanding in Wood River Basin

Idaho Power to triple snowpack-producing capability BY TERRY SMITH

daho Power is expanding its cloud-seeding operation in the Wood River Basin in an effort to increase snowpack for more electrical power generation and to extend the irrigation season for farmers who rely on basin water for their crops. Idaho Power installed three generation towers to blow small silver iodide particles into the atmosphere in the basin last year and plans to install up to six more before the coming winter. “As we continue to build up the program, we should be able to surround the basin and get better results,” Idaho Power meteorologist Derek Blestrud told The Weekly Sun in an interview Tuesday. “This year we’re looking to expand and work with irrigators to make this a full-fledged program as we move forward. It’s the start of building a viable cloud-seeding project within the Wood River Basin.” The Big Wood Canal Company, whose shareholders own water rights for Magic Reservoir storage, has pledged $100,000 per year for five years to help Idaho Power expand the program. The Wood River Basin includes the drainage areas for both the Big Wood and Little Wood rivers. “In effect, we’ll horseshoe generators around the basin so that we can better use the winter storms that come in,” Blestrud said. The generators are mounted on towers 29 feet high. They use propane to burn silver iodide, propelling small particles of the compound into the atmosphere. If the temperature is cold enough and there’s enough moisture in the air, snowflakes form around the silver iodide particles and then fall to the ground. Blestrud said the intent is to create snow at high elevations so that it will melt later in the season when the moisture is most needed for electrical power generation and irrigation. Idaho Power has operated cloud-seeding operations for the past several years in the Payette area and in eastern Idaho in the Upper Snake River Basin.

We’re certainly hoping for a benefit. At $100,000 per day, that’s $3 million, and that’s quite a kicker.” Carl Pendleton Board chairman, Big Wood Canal Company Over the past several years, the Payette operation has increased snowpack an average of 14 percent, leading to generation of about 300,000 acrefeet of water. Blestrud said he anticipates the Wood River Basin operation, when in full force, will generate between 5 and 15 percent more snowpack, which could lead to an additional 100,000 acre-feet of water for irrigation or recreation. He said last year’s fledgling cloud-seeding program in the basin was not particularly successful because all three generators were located in the southwest portion of the basin above the Camas Prairie and most of the storms for the year came from different directions. In addition to the six new generators, new meteorological equipment, including weather balloons, will be used to better determine when and where blowing silver iodide into the atmosphere will be most effective. In addition to the generators, Blestrud said at least one aircraft will be used for cloud seeding. It too, however, will be dependent upon the meteorological equipment to determine where and when to release its silver iodide cargo. Blestrud said the program is overseen by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which each year reviews the plans of Idaho Power and other entities nationwide engaged in cloud-seeding operations. According to an Idaho Power report, “research indicates that there is no evidence that cloud seeding in one location causes a reduction in precipitation in neighboring areas.” Cloud seeding using silver iodide was invented in 1946 and has come into general use in the United States since the late 1940s. 4

Studies on the effects of silver iodide on the environment have shown that the compound is basically benign, mainly because the compound is insoluble in water. “It’s rather hard to actually find the silver iodide once it’s released,” Blestrud said. “The amount that we shoot is so small that you can’t find it in the background once it’s been released.” Carl Pendleton, board chairman of the Big Wood Canal Company, said Tuesday that his organization supports the program because of the opportunity for increased snowpack, leading to increased water and longer irrigation seasons. For the past three years, Big Wood Canal Company has had to end its irrigation season in either June or July because of depleted water reserves at Magic Reservoir, which provides irrigation water for about 35,000 acres of cropland in Lincoln County. “We’re looking at a 7-15 percent increase in snowpack,” Pendleton said. “We can translate that in a full irrigation season to 30 additional days.” Big Wood Canal Company estimates that its shareholders lose a total of about $100,000 per day for each day they are unable to irrigate, which, in a normal water year, runs into September. “We’re certainly hoping for a benefit,” Pendleton said. “At $100,000 per day, that’s $3 million, and that’s quite a kicker.” tws

Cloud-Seeding Tour The Wood River Resource and Conservation Development Council, a fundraising organization for irrigators and farm groups, will conduct a tour of a cloud-seeding generator in Croy Canyon on Thursday, Sept. 17. Carl Pendleton, board chairman of the Big Wood Canal Company, said the tour will involve representatives of Idaho Power and will start at 10 a.m. with a gathering at the Snow Bunny Drive-In in south Hailey. The tour will end with a barbeque in the Fairfield area. For more information, contact the Wood River Resource and Conservation Development Council at 208-934-5053.

Jim and Wendy Jaquet

JIM JAQUET

Pneumatic seat Height adjustment 360 swivel

Dedicated Civil Servant, Family Man, Sports Fan & Storyteller BY DICK DORWORTH

espite a big-city upbringing, Jim Jaquet has a small-town demeanor; always smiling, ever polite and ever pleasant. Even in retirement, he continues to serve the community, hosting the Mountain Rides Transportation Authority Story Tour, where he spins yarns about the history of the Sun Valley and Ketchum areas on Friday mornings as a Mountain Rides bus winds its way through town and country. Jaquet helped organize the story tour three years ago when serving as a member of the Mountain Rides board of directors. But longtime Wood River Valley residents most likely remember Jaquet for the 25 years he served as city administrator to the City of Ketchum, during a crucial time of rapid growth. Others know him as the husband of Wendy Jaquet, who served as District 25A representative to the Idaho House of Representatives from 1994 until 2012, having served several terms as Democratic Minority Leader of the House. Seventy-two-year-old Jim Jaquet was born and raised in Seattle, where he attended high school, college and graduate school, studying public administration. An internship after graduation with the Seattle mayor’s office led to work with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in San Francisco, where he worked for eight years. Jaquet then served under San Francisco mayors Joseph Alioto and George Moscone for a year each as director of community development. When asked if it was difficult to leave his hometown of Seattle for San Francisco, Jaquet replied that it was easy because at the time Seattle didn’t have the Seahawks or the Mariners and San Francisco had the 49ers and the Giants. Jaquet is obviously a sports fan. He met the woman who would become his wife as a grad student at the University of Washington in Seattle, but they never dated until after he moved to San Francisco. From there, he invited Wendy to come to San Francisco for their first date and their romance began at a basket

ball game at the Cow Palace in November of 1968. They were married in April of 1969 and have two sons, Michael and Brian, who had successful Nordic ski racing careers with the Sun Valley Ski Team and in college and now live in Park City, Utah, and Lafayette, Calif. Neither Jim nor Wendy were avid skiers in Seattle, though they both skied and Wendy took lessons as a child from Buzz Fiorini, competitor of Max Sarchette, father of local ski icon Bob Sarchette, whose classes were known as “Ski and sweat with Max Sarchette.” Fiorini’s were termed “Ski like a wienie with Buzz Fiorini.” The Jaquets made their way to the Wood River Valley in 1977, after Jim applied for and was selected as Ketchum city administrator. The move from a metropolis to a small town was challenging, and Jaquet remembers Wendy crying during the drive. Obviously, both quickly adapted to the new community and its culture and Jim Jaquet noted and was grateful for the reduced stress of living in a smaller town. They bought a home in Hulen Meadows, where they still live. During his tenure, the Ketchum municipal water system was installed and all the streets were paved, significant accomplishments that Jaquet says “saved the foundation” of the city. Jaquet enjoyed the job and the people, noting that city planner Lisa Horowitz’s service to the city was particularly beneficial. Jaquet retired in 2002, but was called back to the job for six months in 2008 when his successor, Ron LeBlanc, accepted a new job in Durango, Colo. Today, Jaquet enjoys his retirement by giving tours. In addition to the Mountain Rides Story Tour, he provides guided historical tours to the local haunts of Ernest Hemingway and participates in town history walks. Jim and Wendy, who is also retired, have their own private Jaquet Guide Services and can be reached at wendyjaquet@yahoo.com. Jim points out that neither he nor Wendy are scholars, but that both of them are great storytelltws ers.

Editor’s Note: This is the third 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?”

eople in Bellevue believe their city is a resilient community in the midst of an economic surge. “Bellevue is bouncing back,” said Shaun Mahoney, a former city councilman and the owner of Mahoney’s Bar & Grill. Mahoney estimated that in recent years Bellevue had lost as much as 20-30 percent of its population due to lack of work opportunities in the city. “But things are changing now,” Mahoney said. “Houses that were vacant have sold, families are moving back in, and there’s work again. “Two thousand fourteen was a big breakout year and 2015 is continuing to move forward,” he said.

come back up with the improving economy and with larger home projects that take a couple of years to complete,” he said. “Our business overall is driven by the level of construction activity in the Valley, including new construction, remodels, and landscaping, so we think that most of our growth in Bellevue will come via the organic growth in the community and the increased construction that will come with it.” City government is also optimistic about the local economy. “Bellevue is in sound financial condition,” said Dee Barton, city clerk and treasurer, explaining that current business license statistics for the city corroborate her positive appraisal. Bellevue Development Services Director Craig Eckles reported that the city currently has 179 active business licenses for 2015. “This is an increase of 18 percent from 2014,” Eckles said. “From July 2013, there has been an approximate 8 percent increase of net taxable value for Bellevue,” said Eckles, explaining that the city currently has fewer that three residential units for rent and minimal numbers of residential units for sale. “Currently, Bellevue has the lowest numbers of non-occupied non-residential buildings since 2008,” Eckles said. “I believe that all of these indicators reflect good, stable, consistent growth.”

“I see the potential for growth up and down Main Street,” said Bellevue Mayor Chris Koch. “The current council is looking at growth and how to make Bellevue a great place to have a business and raise a family. We have a great group of community volunteers reworking our comprehensive plan, which will help shape the city for many years to come. “The best indicators are older business like Atkinsons’, Sawtooth Equine Services, the Car Doctor and Mahoney’s staying and investing in Bellevue,” Koch said. “Our future keeps looking up with the addition on many new businesses like the Family Dollar, La Cabanita, Valley Co- Op, and Sawtooth Agency insurance. “I feel Bellevue is doing great, and I think we are on the upswing,” Koch said. tws

At Mahoney’s, June and July this year both saw 5.5 percent revenue increases over the same months of the previous year, an indication of sustained success for the local business, as 2014 saw a 12 percent June and July revenue jump compared to 2013. “Right now, there’s more work than we have bodies for,” Mahoney said. “Bellevue wants to bring population numbers up through community development.” “Looking into the installation of an educational site, like a trade craft or college, could be one potential method to keep growing,” he said.

He explained that the Lutz Rental Bellevue location represents about 10 percent of total company business. “By comparison, our company-wide revenue for the same period is up by over 15 percent,” he said. According to Hamilton, the majority of Lutz employees live in the south Wood River Valley, an area where he expects to see steady growth as the local econCourtesy photo omy continues to improve. “I think we’ll see the revenue Shaun Mahoney, a former city councilman and the owner of Mahoney’s for the winter months start to Bar & Grill, has confidence in Bellevue's economic future.

Osberg Ridgeline Trail declared reopened Volunteers help complete project ahead of schedule

BY P.M. FADDEN

olunteers and work crews teamed up this summer to repair and clean up the scenic Osberg Ridgeline Trail leading to Baker Lake north of Ketchum, finishing the work ahead of schedule and allowing it to be officially declared open on Aug. 15. Prior to the work, the trail had been impassable because of mudslides that washed away or blocked much of it in 2013. “The cleanup took three and a half months of intense effort,” said U.S. Forest Service Trail Supervisor Renee Catherin. “Hand labor was provided by Northwest Youth Corps under the direction of the Ketchum Ranger District trail crew. Thirty-six teenagers worked on portions of the

Osberg Ridgeline Trail over 10 weeks under the direction of KRD trail crew members.” Additional work crews from around the country also pitched in to get the trail, which dates back to 1915, ready for public use this summer. Bridge construction was accomplished under contract by Blake Everson, a former Ketchum Ranger District trail crew foreman, and Erik Carrete, the current Ketchum Ranger District trail crew foreman. Work crews were managed by Steve Harig and Dane Swanson, who are assistant trail crew foremen for the Ketchum Ranger District. More than 4,700 pounds of bridge materials, food and tools were hauled by the ranger district mule team.

Mule teams pack supplies over the summer for the rebuilding of an Osberg Ridgeline bridge.

Colby Benz, a local college student and former stand-out road bike racer, donated more than 120 hours of volunteer labor to assist with bridge construction. Catherin said Northwest Youth Corps crew members were paid a stipend. The cleanup was primarily funded by a Recreational Trails Program (RTP) grant from the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. Prior to 2013, Osberg Ridgeline Trail #047 was known as the Warm Springs Ridge Trail. It originates at the Baker Lake trailhead, commencing at about 7,800 feet elevation and climbing to a high point of just over 9,000 feet. Although the trail has significant climbing and descending portions, it characteristically rolls on a contouring line just off the spine of the ridgeline, offering panoramic views of the surrounding Boulder, Smoky and Pioneer mountain ranges. Four other trails hub off of the Osberg Ridgeline Trail, including Castle Rock #140, Barr Gulch #168, Adams Rib #142 and Alden Gulch Trail, which is still closed because of mudslides Since 2011, the Ketchum Ranger District has partnered with the Wood River Land Trust, with support from friends and family of Gloria Osberg, to reconstruct the old Warm Springs Trail, Catherin said. “Additional funding for reconstruction was provided in 2012 by a Recreational Trails Program grant from the Idaho State Parks and Recreation Department [to provide] 12 miles of uninterrupted, 360-degree views of three major mountain ranges, high mountain meadows, sheer cliffs framed by rugged rock outcrops, rolling open slopes, oceans of wildflowers and –

yes – a beautiful trail,” Catherin said. Catherin hopes that future trail work will follow the environmentally conscious steps taken in reopening the Osberg Ridgeline Trail. “When you enter fragile, complex ecosystems with trail construction, it pays huge dividends to use every preservation technique possible,” Catherin said. “I hope that construction techniques will continue to evolve to minimize the impacts that trails have visually, as well as the impacts they have on watersheds and wildlife.” “What good would a passage through the Sistine Chapel be if constructing it left all the stained glass broken?” she added. tws

Jonathan Colter is represented by Hailey attorney Keith Roark, who was court appointed as public defender. Judge Robert J. Elgee is presiding judge. Jonathan Colter, who has been incarcerated in the Blaine County jail on a $100,000 bond since his arrest on Jan. 18, was allowed to appear in court in street clothing and without chains and shackles binding his wrists and ankles. Instead of orange jail garb, he wore tan slacks and a light-blue, long-sleeved, button-down shirt. The case against Jonathan Colter arose the evening of Jan. 18 at a residence in Building Y at the Indian Springs condominium complex in Elkhorn Village. According to police reports, the condominium was being rented by Jonathan Colter and a man identified as Shard “Tony” Stober. Police further reported that several days prior to the stabbing Bass Colter and his father William Michael Colter, the brother of Jonathan Colter, began staying at the home. Stober testified at a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Court Judge Jennifer Haemmerle on Feb. 2 that Bass Colter had been drinking heavily by the time Stober and Jonathan Colter returned to the condominium that evening after getting off of work. Stober further testified that Bass and Jonathan Colter were originally “joking around” by pushing and shoving each other, but that the encounter turned hostile and violent.

Jonathan Eugene Colter is accused of stabbing his nephew in the neck during a family get-together last January. The knife Colter allegedly used was a 10-inch Wüsthof kitchen knife that was given to the victim, William “Bass” Colter, by his mother as a Christmas present.

Patrolman Sharp wrote in his probable cause affidavit that Bass Colter was cut under his chin with a 10-inch kitchen knife and was bleeding profusely until being attended to by a Ketchum Fire Department paramedic. After the incident was reported to police, officers from Ketchum and the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office arrived in force to assist Sun Valley police with investigation and apprehension of the suspect. Sharp wrote in his report that he and Sgt. Kim Orchard, “fearing for our safety,” knocked on the condominium door with firearms drawn and held at “low ready.” However, both Stober and Jonathan Colter cooperated with police orders and were placed in handcuffs while being questioned. In his report, Patrolman Sharp described Bass Colter’s injury as “life-threatening.” tws

Alberto Gonzalez, a member of the advisory board of Idaho Drug Free Youth, is considering a career in medicine.

Alberto Gonzalez Says no to drugs and alcohol BY JONATHAN KANE

lberto Gonzalez, who graduated this year from Wood River High School, likes to help people and is contemplating a career in either medicine or physical therapy. “I just want to be involved with helping people through community service or through whatever profession that I choose,” Gonzalez said. At Wood River High School, Gonzalez, who moved to the Wood River Valley from Los Angeles 10 years ago, excelled at medical technology, science and history. He was also active in sports, having played football and basketball and competed in track. In a few weeks, he will begin college at the College of Western Idaho in Nampa. Gonzalez said his interest in pursuing a medical career stems from a family situation. “In ninth grade my mother hurt her leg and the insurance wouldn’t cover physical therapy,” he said. “My goal is to make it more affordable to those who can’t afford it and more available to those that need it. There is a tendency for the Spanish community to get left out in medical services and I speak two languages and I feel that I can help out more in that community.” Gonzalez also cares about community service, a passion that he brings to the Idaho Drug Free Youth program. “I’ve done a lot of Souper Suppers at the church, worked in The Hunger Coalition garden, and helped with the [Sun Valley] Road Rally by making sure that the road was clear of animals and bikers,” Gonzalez said. “Service makes me happy, and it’s great to help in any way possible. As long as I do it, I’m always happy.”

Gonzalez has belonged to the Drug Free Youth program in Blaine County since the age of 13. He describes the mission of the 25-year-old organization as “promoting happy and healthy lives without the use of drugs and alcohol for everyone in Idaho.” “I had heard about it a lot and a good friend got me into it,” he said. “At first I was hesitant because I didn’t know what it was, exactly. I heard they drug tested, which worried me – not because I would fail but because I thought they would take a blood sample. “Once I joined, it was the greatest decision that I had ever made. It’s just been an amazing experience and I’ve gotten to meet people from all over the state, as there are chapters everywhere.” The organization holds retreats and summits in June and November and young people from all over the state attend and make friendships that last a lifetime, Gonzalez said. To become a member, a young person is required to pledge to be drug and alcohol free. Locally, “we meet every Wednesday at lunch and there are about 25 of us,” he said. “We talk about fun activities and what we want to do for community service and fundraisers. “It’s been a profound event in my life. I have seen what using drugs and alcohol can do to people. It’s just a dangerous thing and I decided that it wouldn’t be part of my life. “People can die from it and I’m better than that,” Gonzalez said. “IDFY is a great club. It’s not just about not doing drugs, but it also focuses on the well-being of the person and how to be more accepting and open-minded overall in life. Don’t judge a book by its cover.” tws

veryone’s invited, so settle in. Let’s get to know more of our community friends.

This column, as its footer indicates, is a literary campaign to connect readers with the surrounding community. Since its inception, +One has introduced public services, local businesses, nonprofits, and (of course) the colorful characters iconic to most if not all recreational regions. Today, the lens is widened in appreciation of those most basic community building blocks; the irreplaceable, albeit generically anointed, ‘they’. They are everywhere, and they are quite well known. They are an integral participant to each new day. They are waiting at the traffic light. They are in line at the grocer’s. They share both the chairlift ride and the refreshing beverage after. They enjoy golf, Frisbee, and ice cream. They are all about pets. They make time to fish, mountain bike, paint, and write. They care for the environment and volunteer often. They are passionate about climbing, gardening, river trips, local libraries, and live music. They recognize the sacred. They love their families and cherish their friends. They work hard. In a world increasingly set to fast-forward, they deserve respect. They are, after all, just like us. In fact, more than that, they are us and in that light they are home. So there you have it, and now you know. That’s one more degree bringing us closer to home. +One is an introduction to individuals, organizations, businesses and initiatives present in our community. tws 10

treptomycin became available to the public in 1944, the year my adopted older sister died of tuberculosis. I was talking about her this past week when I visited friends celebrating an important wedding anniversary; while there, I read my hostess Susie’s book called The Orphan Train. We both feel lucky we were born after the last train left transporting “unadoptable” children to potential adoptive homes during the Depression years. They were often placed in miserable situations, even as what might be considered indentured servitude. Both Susie and I are adopted, so we discussed how fortunate we were to be rapidly placed as infants from California’s Children’s Home Society. My sister Jennie lived in numerous foster homes before my family learned of her going to school barefoot because her foster parents pocketed the money given to them for her care. When she arrived at our house, she was wearing the Harris Tweed coat issued to foster children in San Francisco, known by the city’s residents and thus an obvious sign of her status. This column, however, is not about Jenny (a remarkable young woman fit for discussion at another time) but about her request to be a guinea pig for the “wonder drugs” being tested during World War II. She was not successful and died at the age of 18. Instead, I wish to comment on how fortunate we are to live in a world where medicine has saved so Courtesy photo many lives and JoEllen Collins—a longtime continues to ad- resident of the Wood River vance in ways that Valley—is a teacher, writer, would have saved fabric artist, choir member Jennie and my and unabashedly proud mother, who died at grandma known as “Bibi Jo.” the age of 59 from a heart condition that would today probably have been treatable through surgical advances. We will never know how our predecessors’ lives would have been extended the way they are now, through research, development and amazing new medical methods for diagnoses, and the advances in complex surgical techniques. When children were not allowed to swim in public pools because of the polio epidemic, I contracted (thank God) a mild case, detected early by our physician who made house calls. It was treatable. Within the next few months, children were receiving the polio vaccine, thus removing from their nightmares the prospect of iron lungs. I recently underwent a relatively easy and successful “minor” surgery and cannot be more certain that in a previous era my non-life-threatening ailment would have caused me a longer period of pain and, without laparoscopy, an extended period of recovery. Having visited a hospital in Arusha, Tanzania, a point of pride for the region, I was overwhelmed with gratitude that I have a place like St. Luke’s nearby and have signed up for the Air St. Luke’s helicopter service should I need to be life-flighted for an extreme event. Even with the high cost of medical care and drugs and my irritation with the abuses our government may allow, I feel blessed to be able to experience such skilled care. So here’s to all the Jennies today for whom it might not be “too late.” tws

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR augusT 26 FRom picabo angleR

ooler nights are becoming the norm as we approach September. What this means to the angler is prolific fishing, as fish feel the change and begin looking to fatten up for the winter. Brown trout and brook trout are getting ready for their spawning season, so they will become even more voracious eaters as they try to pack on the calories for the several weeks of spawning and fighting. On the Creek, the Mouse fishing remains red-hot and the best way to land that “fish of a lifetime.” Callibaetis and Trico are still present in numbers large enough to get the fish up, and we can expect the Baetis hatches to begin growing with the approach of autumn. Hoppers and Ants remain the best terrestrials to throw, and between you and me and all the other readers, I would have no hesitation only throwing a Flying Ant pattern morning, noon and night for the rest of the warm summer days we have! The Big Wood remains a viable fishery when we go a few days without storms. Trico is still the best morning activity, with Hoppers being the afternoon bug of choice, and Caddis or Rusty Spinners in the evening. The Upper Lost River is fishing really well with Ants and Hoppers as well as prolific midday Baetis hatches. There is plenty of walking to do between holes, but anglers willing to put in maximum effort will catch plenty of nice-sized fish. The Lower Lost flows continue to fluctuate, with 400 cfs the level at the time of this writing. Crane Flies and Trico remain a constant, but the higher flows limit the access and the areas where fish will rise. If you go, be flexible, ready to move, and think about fishing lower in the system where some of the water gets diverted. The South Fork of the Boise remains at drift boat levels, with Pink Albert and Hoppers like a club sandwich being excellent choices. Rounding out the month, grouse hunting opens on Aug. 30 and dove season on Sept. 1. Grouse numbers look fantastic this year, but we aren’t seeing a lot of local doves. Hunters may want to get a bit farther south for dove limits. Finally, there is a lot to do right now, from panfish at Carey Lake all the way into the high country, where brookies and cutts are on the cusp of the August spawn at altitude. Get out and EXPLORE! Happy fishing and hunting, everyone!

no bones about it

BY FRAN JEWELL

A Dog is a Dog, Right?

ince humans first invited wolves into their lives, they selected only the most social of wolves to coexist with them. Humans began to see that wolves could help them work to sustain food sources. Over time, humans began selectively breeding wolves to create a domesticated version we now call dogs. Before the beginning of mechanization, dogs participated in helping humans with everyday tasks – hunting for food, herding larger domesticated livestock, and keeping their masters’ land safe from predators and vermin. Over the years, humans developed specialized breeds to do these specific tasks taken from the dog’s inherited instincts. Humans “hard-wired” their dogs to carry only specific traits from the dog’s larger and predatory “prey drive.” Prey drive starts with hunger. Then the dog uses scent or vision to find food. The dog chases it, shakes it, kills it, eats it and guards it from others. Humans looked for specific characteristics of that larger “prey drive” and bred only the dogs that carried those specific traits to help him make living easier. Livestock guardians protected flocks or herds of livestock. Hunting dogs helped man find food so he could feed his family. Herding dogs kept his flocks intact and

moved them to grazing areas. Terriers sought and killed vermin that would eat his grain. Some fiercely protected his family from invaders when he was hunting. Today, with modern mechanization and technologies, the jobs of these incredible animals are being absorbed. Along with the disconnection of humans with their environment and neighbors as well as loss of a sense of community, humans now have increased their need for companionship. Dogs became the natural choice of humans for companionship. In doing so, humans have removed the dog’s sense of effort and purpose. Secondly, many dogs now come from breed mixes that may not complement each other; terriers mixed with guardian dogs, as an example. Now dogs have become totally confused about their purpose. Humans see only a companion they want the dog to be instead of a dog that needs to work. Humans pick the puppy that is cute instead of the puppy that helps them work the fields. When humans no longer know the purpose of the breed they have selected, great pressure is on this dog to no longer work but to only be a companion. While companionship is indeed a wonderful part of having a dog in a human’s life, it is not always fulfilling the natural purpose of the dog.

Tova is a standard poodle and her job is to help Margery as a service dog. Tova indicates to Margery where each step is and gives Margery balance.

The purpose of this discussion is to illuminate the idea that not all dogs are the same. Many have a huge need to work. Some do not. We as humans so often think that EVERY dog’s sense of purpose is to only nurture us and that dogs are happiest in a loving, comfortable home, sleeping on the sofa. It’s like the child music prodigy that never gets to play a piano. While home may be loving and comfortable, the child (or the dog) never fulfills his purpose in life. When we treat all dogs as companions only, we rob them of the purpose they were bred to

perform. The result is a dog that displays many behavior problems simply out of frustration. The key is understanding your dog’s breed(s) and what that purpose is, and then directing your dog’s life in a way he can fulfill that or a similar purpose.

Danelle Stern ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ H Cry Uncle!

BY JONATHAN KANE

tyle reigns supreme in the new terrific spy thriller, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” brought to you with an overflow of wit and panache by English director Guy Ritchie (Snatch). Set at the height of the Cold War madness, the film, based on the TV series that ran from 1964-1968, hits all the right notes in a summer lark that is immensely entertaining. Unfortunately, the large-budget “Mission Impossible” film that it is going up against probably will overshadow it. But have no fear – “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” will have a long shelf life and the sequel that it sets up at the end will be greatly anticipated. The heart of the movie, for which you need no knowledge of the TV series for this to be enjoyed, is the relationship between American super-spy Henry Cavill (Superman) and his Russian counterpoint, Armie Hammer. Together, in the lighthearted spy plot, they usher Alicia Vikander out of East Berlin in an attempt to

reach her father – a nuclear scientist whose bomb may fall into the hands of ex-Nazi terrorists. Cavill is a globetrotting art thief recruited by the CIA, and Hammer is a hulking spy with anger issues. When we first meet them, they are trying to kill each other, only to find themselves the next morning working together. The chemistry is delicious and is at the heart of the film’s success. The technical aspects of the film are terrific and will please any fans of “Mad Men” – from the gorgeous ’60’s fashions to the tremendous pop score by Daniel Pemberton that underscores the action so well. And then there is the action itself – witty and precise and not at all overblown like what most action movies succumb to. Would you expect anything less in the hands of Ritchie?

The Advocates’ ETC

Q & A with ‘The Boss’ BY THE ADVOCATES

n this article, Brady Delgadillo, an ETC youth activist for The Advocates, interviews his boss, violence prevention educator Heidi Cook. Brady: Why is your work as a violence prevention educator important to you? Heidi: I have been affected by violence in many ways. I have had close friends and family experience interpersonal violence. I have experienced interpersonal violence. I have seen the long-term damage this can have in people’s lives. Prevention education focuses on teaching and promoting healthy relationships, bystander intervention, and working on creating a community where violence is not tolerated. I want to stop violence behavior before it begins. And that is why we focus so much on educating youth but also want the message to be heard that everyone has a role in violence prevention.

Mark Making and Columbine Seed Head Western Columbine (Aquilegia formosa)

BY LESLIE REGO

olumbine grows throughout the summer in moist areas. The flower enjoys a combination of shade and sun and will flourish on slopes after the snow has melted, along streams or in wet woodlands. The Latin name, Aquilegia, comes from aquila, “eagle,” and refers to the flower’s shape, which resembles the claws of an eagle. Formosa means beautiful. Columbine blooms are beautiful, but the seed head is equally as lovely. Right now the flowers are transitioning into these elegant seed heads. After the columbine has been pollinated, the petals fall off, leaving behind a seedpod shaped like a long tube with fluted sections. Curiously, I have noticed the pod divided into either five or six segments. The pods start out green and slowly turn to a soft shade of brown. When I look down the center of the tube, I see many many small black individual seeds, and gently shaking the seed head makes it sound like a rattle. To the touch, the pod is a little bit sticky.

pods are in a straight tube-like shape. In other pods, the segments have twisted so that they look like a whirlwind. What I like most about the pod are the markings along each individual segment. Each fluted section has diagonal lines that join in the middle in an inverted “V” shape. I have always enjoyed mark making, and sitting with a nib pen and ink, methodically reproducing the marks along the capsules of the pods, is calming. The power of a “mark” is in the repetition and the slow buildup of pattern. As I draw one line after another, the richness of the motif becomes apparent; each line is etched into the pod, leaving a slight indentation. Not only does this create a repetition of pattern, but the light plays along these indentations. Traditional marks can be made in the form of dots, slashes, spirals, circles, and any number of other forms and variations. There is a long history of mark making, from the first cave artists to present-day artists, but when nature does the work all by itself, it is an inspiration.

his Thursday, Aug. 27 from 5-7 p.m., rally at Hailey’s Power House to support the “Bike 4 Brains” fundraiser. Join psychiatrist Dr. Tim Stoddard, M.D., of the local St. Luke’s Clinic, and benefit St. Luke’s Mental Health Services. Ten percent of proceeds at the event will be donated to the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation. Mental illness affects virtually everyone, whether they know it or not. Approximately one in five adults in the United States suffers from a diagnosed mental illness in a given year, cites the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). According to the American Psychological Association, Idaho ranks among the seven states with the highest percentage of residents experiencing symptoms. One local is spreading awareness of these issues through an unexpected route. Dr. Tim Stoddard earned his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine and completed his psychiatric residency at the University of Washington. This September he is participating in the daunting “Idaho Smoke ‘n’ Fire 400” – an approximately 400-mile self-supported mountain bike race traversing some of Idaho’s diverse geography on twotrack, big gravel and dirt Forest Service roads, single-track and paved roads. Approximately 40

other mountain bikers will join Dr. Stoddard on this grueling adventure that starts and ends in Boise’s historic Hyde Park on Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 6 a.m. “Some may ponder what inspires someone to sign up for this admirable yet daunting journey,” states a press release from St. Luke’s. “Of course, there’s the physical challenge and an opportunity to experience the beauty of the wilderness, but it also takes a certain mentality. Dr. Stoddard is not just pushing himself to accomplish this for his own personal reasons but also to bring awareness to mental health issues and services throughout the Wood River Valley and beyond.” Self-supported bikepacking is no picnic; it’s a serious endeavor that is not to be taken lightly. This particular 400-mile loop features approximately 38,000 feet of climbing, big expanses and big views, backcountry forest roads, the Centennial and Harriman Trail, great single-track, occasional pavement and a dash of hike-a-bike. There is no registration fee, no support and no prize money for participants in the “Smoke ‘n’ Fire 400.” Determination and motivation, such as Dr. Stoddard’s backing cause, push participants through the course. “It is true adventure, which means it can be dangerous, hard, exhausting, confusing, scary, fun, miserable, painful, rewarding and basically a com-

‘GORONGOSA REBORN: A CAMERAMAN’S JOURNAL’ An Independent Licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association

7-8:30PM / NEXSTAGE THEATRE / KETCHUM Experience an epic African wildlife park through the eyes of an Emmy Award-winning natural history cinematographer. A childhood in East Africa gave National Geographic speaker Bob Poole a fierce curiosity about the natural world as well as an adventurous spirit. Now, for a new six-part PBS/Nat Geo International series, Poole is drawing on that experience to document the rebirth of a lost Eden: Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, a jewel of Africa’s parks system until civil war almost destroyed it. There, Poole joined forces with rangers and scientists (including his sister, renowned elephant researcher Joyce Poole) on perhaps the biggest conservation project on the planet. He’ll share secrets of filming lions, crocs, elephants and spectacular scenery, and tell how he cracked the “Gorongosa code”– learning to read the landscape and find prime locations for filming the park’s spectacular wildlife. Join the acclaimed cinematographer and filmmaker for a sneak preview of the series premiering Sept. 22 on PBS with unforgettable images and stories of Gorongosa’s majestic animals–and learn how the wild places we’ve broken can be put back together. This event is free and open to the public. Visit bobpoolefilms.com to learn more about Bob Poole and the series.

6-8PM / KETCHUM TOWN SQUARE Caitlin Canty takes the stage this week for the Town Square Tunes outdoor concert series. Canty delivers her songs with a 1930’s Recording King guitar and a dusky alto, painting the line between joy and pathos with uncanny precision and power. Raised in small-town Vermont, the daughter of a schoolteacher and a house painter, Canty spent a decade in New York City cutting her teeth on both sides of the microphone – as a performer and as the first employee of the Artists Den. Both on the road and on her records, Caitlin Canty teams with some of the finest musicians in the world – including members of Morphine, Booker T, Cold Satellite and Ray LaMontagne’s Pariah Dogs – to create a sound that harnesses the grit and spark at the very heart of American music, tempered with a voice both haunting and distinct.

MIA EDSALL MUSIC 6-9PM / LEFTY’S BAR & GRILL / KETCHUM

BY ALI LONG

Bellevue songwriter Mia Edsall plays guitar, fivestring banjo and harmonica. Her background is rooted in folk, blues, old-timey and country. “Mia Edsall writes songs that are full of emotion without being sappy, which is an impressive feat,” said Greg Harness, KRBX 89.9 Radio Boise. “Her songs combine melancholy with a sense of rejuvenation and hope. Her vocals perfectly reflect the words, and we listeners know these songs are about real, complex feelings that we have known ourselves.” See Mia Edsall this Sunday on Lefty’s deck in Ketchum. Visit miaedsall.com for more about the artist.

any folks know Idaho’s Bounty as our ticket to Idaho farmfresh food. Did you know that “the Bounty” is also the cooperative that handles marketing and distribution for farmers across southern Idaho? Without the Bounty, local grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals and schools would offer far less fresh local food and our farmers could go belly up The demand for local food has grown at three times the rate of overall food consumption, according to the USDA, and the growth of Idaho’s Bounty since its inception in 2008 reflects this trend. Last year, the Bounty sold just over $1 million in locally produced food. This growth has been possible largely by the good graces of the farmers, who have financed the expanded distribution. It’s time to lend them a hand, and honor our Valley’s growing demand for fresh, nutritious, delicious foods. As with any growing business, Idaho’s Bounty needs capital to expand its operation. Those who understand the value of this resource can both participate in its growth and benefit from its success. A first-of-its-kind offering is available to interested Idahoans: a revenue-based loan totaling $500,000 to repay the farmers, lease reliable delivery vehicles, and globalize operational infrastructure so that local produce becomes competitive.

How will our grassroots local food company repay half a million bucks? Crooner Paul McCartney said it best: patience and time. For the next seven or eight years, Idaho’s Bounty will set aside 2 percent of its annual sales (remember – that was $1 million last year) until investors are repaid 175 percent—yup, take it right off the top of revenues. And with a goal of $10 million in sales over the next 10 years, this ain’t chump change. With your support, Idaho’s Bounty can bring its market share to .25 percent of the food sold in Idaho, and the overall market share of local food to 1 percent. Help the Bounty and yourself – make a loan today! Disclaimer: The Local Food Alliance does not officially recommend any specific investment opportunity. The Local Food Alliance aspires to create a healthy local food system and establish food security in the Wood River Valley. For more information, visit www.localfoodalliance.org.

CSI ‘NUTCRACKER’ AUDITIONS 3-7:30 PM / COMMUNITY CAMPUS / HAILEY The College of Southern Idaho Blaine County Center is thrilled to announce the return of The Nutcracker performed by the Eugene Ballet Company this December in Hailey. The performance will feature the familiar faces of 40 local children. Children ages 5 and older may audition on Tuesday for roles in this professional production. The auditions for local dancers will begin at 3pm at Footlight Dance Center at the Community Campus in Hailey. The audition fee is $5. Dancers should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their audition time, in dance clothing and ready to dance. Latecomers will not be allowed to audition. The dancers who are selected for the show will be asked to pay an additional $5 instructional fee and they will be required to attend Saturday rehearsals in November and December.
