School board welcomes new member Board vacancy declared following Kathy Baker resignation

BY TERRY SMITH

A

t its July regular meeting, the Blaine County School District board of trustees welcomed one new member, accepted the resignation of another and provided a suggestion of possible discord among veteran trustees.

At the meeting on July 14, Hailey business owner Carole Freund took the oath of office and then took her seat as the district Zone 3 trustee. She replaces former Trustee Kathryn Graves, who declined to seek re-election earlier this year.

The board also declared a vacancy in Zone 2, following the resignation of former Trustee Kathy Baker, who has moved out of Blaine County.

In further business, board Chair Shawn Bennion was unanimously re-elected as chair by his fellow trustees, but he declined to support the election of Trustee Elizabeth Schwerdtle as vice chair. Schwerdtle was elected to the position nonetheless by a 3-1 board vote.

Carole Freund Freund, along with her husband, has owned and operated the Creative Edge computer store in Hailey for more than 25 years. A graduate of State University in New York, Freund is a longtime Wood River Valley resident, having moved here after visiting friends for a skiing trip in 1981.

Although new to the board, she is familiar with district operations, having served frequently as a volunteer, most recently as a community member of the district’s new Strategic Plan Steering Committee earlier this year.

Freund has two children who graduated from Wood River High School in 2009 and 2010.

Freund wrote Monday in an email to The Weekly Sun that her “love for the Wood River Valley and continued passion and concern for educating our youth” is what brought her to the school board.

Freund was the only applicant for the Zone 3 post, which encompasses northwest Hailey and rural areas immediately to the west. Since Freund was not opposed, an election that would have been held in May was not legally required.

Graves, who had been the board’s longest serving member,

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

was first appointed to the board in 2010 to replace former Trustee Mari Beth Matthews, who resigned that year after moving out of Blaine County. Graves was unopposed for re-election in 2011.

Kathy Baker Baker’s resignation confirmed reports publicly circulating for the past few months that she had moved, or was moving, out of Blaine County. According to her letter of resignation, which was read by board Chairman Bennion at the July 14 meeting, Baker and her family are now “relocating to the Midwest.”

Baker had served on the board since 2013, having defeated incumbent Trustee Steve Guthrie in an election for the Zone 2 post.

“For the past two years, it has been my honor and privilege to serve our community on the Blaine County school board and to work with amazing teachers, staff and administrators,” Baker stated in her letter of resignation. She further described board service as “one of the best and most meaningful experiences” of her life.

After reading the letter, Bennion commended Baker, who was not at the meeting.

“I’d like to publicly thank Trustee Baker for her service on the board,” Bennion said. “She has had to deal with a lot over the past two years with all the time and effort she has put into service.”

The district is now accepting applications for Baker’s replacement in Zone 2, which encompasses the east Hailey and north Bellevue areas. Further information is available at the district website at www.blaineschools. org.

Trustee turmoil Schwerdtle was nominated for vice chair in a motion by Freund that was seconded by Bennion. However, prior to the vote, Bennion stated objections to her election to the post. “ F o r me, and I could be completely off base, but as members of the board of trustees, one of our main responsibilities is to provide the best education we can to our students, to be responsible for taxpayer dollars and to be able to model to the staff, the students, behavior inclusive,” Bennion said. “My only hesi-

tation would be that as trusted members of the leadership of the board of trustees, and I don’t mean this in any personal way, we need to be collaborative and respectful and find ways to communicate in ways that aren’t a divider, and I’ll leave it at that.”

Bennion provided no further details regarding any behavior

by Schwerdtle. However, the two of them voted in opposite ways in two recent board decisions.

Schwerdtle cast the lone dissenting vote in June on approving the district’s $84.5 million budget for Fiscal Year 2016. She explained later that she could not support adding three new positions to the district staff, even though she wasn’t necessarily opposed to the positions, because the proposed budget put the district in the position of spending $2.5 million more in FY2016 than anticipated revenues.

She also voted in May against approval of a new Adolescent Substance Abuse Program, commonly referred to as ASAP, explaining that the board needed more information and community involvement before it approves a student drug program.

Bennion voted for approval, but the measure was defeated 3-2.

Schwerdtle, representing Zone 1, which encompasses the east Ketchum and Sun Valley area and extends south to portions of north Hailey, has served on the board since being appointed to the post in 2013. She replaced Trustee Don Nurge, who resigned in June of that year, stating that he needed to spend more time with his family.

Bennion also voted against Schwerdtle’s appointment to the board in 2013, but declined then to publicly state his reasons.

Schwerdtle declined to comment to The Sun when contacted on Friday regarding Bennion’s vote against her election as vice chair, but Bennion provided the following statement over the weekend in an email to The Sun: “As a board member, I have the responsibility to vote what I feel is in the best interest for the students of Blaine County,” Bennion wrote. “That being said, I support the majority of the board and look forward to working with Trustee Schwerdtle as vice chair.” tws

In a talk titled “How Peace is Made: Carter, Begin, and Sadat at Camp David,” New Yorker staff writer and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence Wright captivates the Writers’ Conference audience on Saturday afternoon at the Sun Valley Pavilion with tales of the secret negotiations that led to the historic 1978 Camp David Accords – the first peace treaty in the modern Middle East, and one that

Writers’ Conference Attendees Talk Shop

T

he annual Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, hosted by Sun Valley Resort, is becoming recognized internationally as a symposium honoring the written word and is a forum that brings elite writers of many genres to the Wood River Valley.

The conference, now in its 21st year, includes both organized scheduling and open forum, where the veteran and the novice may sit for a meeting of “wordsmithing” minds.

From among the litany of talent, a storyteller, a playwriter-screenwriter and an essayist-poet shared their views of literature in interviews with The Weekly Sun. Christopher Linforth, author of the story collection “When You Find Us We Will Be Gone,” is a longtime short-story writer

and affiliate to the Boise-based literary initiative The Cabin. He is also now working on his first full-length novel.

“What I most love about writing is its tuning-in with the surrounding world,” Linforth said.

“It’s wanting to tell a worthy story.”

Linforth said one of an author’s main obstacles in writing is finding an angle, or determining what a writer wants from a story.

Where a story takes place is also an important consideration.

“Setting, too, is essential in crafting the tale,” Linforth said.

“Physical location plays a large role.

“Workshops or conferences like here in Sun Valley create personal ties with individuals who may later be your works’ greatest champions,” he said.

“Building those relationships with other literary minds can be

very beneficial.”

Regarding the future direction of literature in a so-called technological age, Linforth is confident in the persistence of his chosen craft.

“I think the industry is willing to take on new voices, and big publishers still thrive,” he said.

“Literature is in a healthy place.”

Playwriter-screenwriter Jeffery Hatcher offered his views on his craft.

“Playwriting, I feel, is the most difficult form of dramatic writing,” said Hatcher, an IVEY Award recipient for lifetime achievement. “It’s a different level of tension that actually requires an intermission break as opportunity for respite.

“Playwriting-screenwriting, in general terms, has two distinct branches of story; yours and those you have adapted from someone else,” Hatcher said. “A difficulty either way is the flexibility to shift from one’s accustomed rhythm. Whatever you write, you have to own it.”

According to Hatcher, conferences or workshops like the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference offer a workable opportunity to pursue those written ends.

“Artists live and work in multiple spaces,” he said. “Plays often take place in urban areas, and the city can’t help but make one feel like an ant. So, idyllically, the writer likes to get away to the country and be inspired by its geographical beauty.

“This is relaxing and regenerative for the writer,” he said. “It puts them into a positive, hopefully productive, perspective.”

When asked about literary evolution in the increasingly tech-heavy future, Hatcher offered the following insights: “Media can be used to an in-

Christopher Linforth is the author of “When You Find Us We Will Be Gone.” He is also a Silver Creek Fellow in Idaho writing.

Silver Creek Fellow in nature-wilderness writing, Janée Baugher, has authored two poetry books: “The Body’s Physics” and “Coordinates of Yes.”

teresting effect, but the explosion of media outlets and information accessibility options has brought about a great democratization in literature,” he said. “Personal tailoring of digital entertainment-information may, while at the same time allowing for survival, also remove from the populace a common literary currency. It’s interesting because it’s not something I’m sure we can go back from.

“Ultimately, I feel the physical experience of theater engaging the audience also shields that genre slightly from changes experienced in other areas of writing,” Hatcher said.

Poet and essay writer Janée Baugher, author of “The Body’s Physics” and “Coordinates of Yes,” provided comments of a more metaphysical nature.

“I love the words; I love the solitude and the freedom,” she said. “Whether I’m working on a one-page poem or a fifty-fourpage personal essay, my approach is the same: I build each

thing word by word.

“For me, it’s as simple as liking a specific tool—what’s your tool and what/who do you want to work with, learn about, or grow from,” she said.

For Baugher, the tools most necessary to the writer are to be found within.

“While it is aesthetically pleasing to be in a beautiful setting, the typical writer doesn’t require much to get her work done,” she said. “I write every day, not because I’m on a deadline or I’d feel like the world would quit its axial spin, but because I love to see how an image or a word will lead to something else.”

Regarding the future, Baugher said: “As long as people aspiring to write great literature are still reading works of great literature, then I feel very optimistic about the state of the literary arts in our society. Pencils, pens, index cards and paperclips get me more excited than Irish whisky.”

Wood River High School senior Wyatt Johnson rides a wave in Hawaii.

Wyatt Johnson Surf’s Up

BY JONATHAN KANE

W

yatt Johnson, a senior at Wood River High School with a 3.6 grade point average, grew up in the Wood River Valley but was able to spend some of his younger years in Hawaii.

“Currently, we live down by the river in Bellevue, but my dad has a potato farm in Picabo,” Johnson said. “It’s tough work and I’ve learned how to work hard because of my dad, and it’s really built character.

“Some of the jobs I’ve had there include picking dirt clods out of the conveyor belts, picking rocks out of the field and walking down the rows of potatoes and digging out the bad ones. Picking up the rocks is the toughest because it’s pretty tedious and boring.”

Regarding a future career, Johnson said he’s thought about farming “as an option, but it’s very hard work.”

Born south of Twin Falls, Johnson moved to Blaine County at age 6. Here, he has lived in Indian Creek, Picabo and now Bellevue.

“It was easy to make friends here when we arrived,” Johnson said. “It was a little tougher for my sister because she was a junior in high school, but I was in first grade. I made friends that are still my close buddies.

“It’s been great being here because there are so many opportunities,” he said. “I also love the outdoor activities like skiing, snowboarding and boating.”

As he enters his senior year at WRHS, Johnson only has praise for the school.

“Wood River is one of the top public schools in the state, and I’ve met some really influential people that have had a big im-

pact on the person that I am today,” he said. “The Wood River staff is really great and the whole community backs it and is really involved.

“As to subjects, math and science are my favorites. I really like to work through problems and figure them out. I’m not as creative and struggle with writing papers.”

In his sophomore year, Johnson was able to spend his first semester in Hawaii with his best friend from the Valley who had recently moved there. While in Maui, he learned to surf.

“It was pretty touristy, but there were also rural areas,” Johnson said. “It was a tough but interesting experience, especially to be so independent and not have my parents there for a whole semester, although his [friend’s] parents are like aunts and uncles to me.

“I also didn’t like the high school very much, but I did learn to love surfing. By the end, I was pretty good and bought my own board, but it’s a tough sport and very hard to learn. All I can say is that there is never a dull point and you are constantly improving.

“You start on a long board because it’s easier to catch waves,” he said. “Then you challenge yourself with shorter boards, which are more maneuverable.

Catching a wave is just an awesome experience.

“There is also a whole system on who has the right of way on waves, and there is a lot of fighting in the water,” Johnson said.

“I loved being there. For me it was the best of both worlds; I could surf until Christmas and then come back here for the peak of snowboarding season.” tws

Silver Creek Writers’ Residency founder and executive director, Bill Fowler.

Write on Inaugural Residency Program Hosts Authors

S

BY P.M. Fadden

ilver Creek Writers’ Residency, the Wood River Valley’s recently minted program to support the written arts, has burst from the start mark, unveiling its literary efforts through the hosting of its premier fellowship recipients.

“Our passion is for creating a literary organization that makes Ketchum-Sun Valley a place where literature and writers are made, so that we are not just a community where established writers visit, but also one that brings newer writers up in the world,” said founder and Silver Creek executive director Bill Fowler.

Silver Creek operates from a nonprofit, tax-exempt platform that until last March had been waiting in the wings for its launching moment. Now, with a tester “micro-residency” by Boise screenwriter Cody Gittings already finished, Silver Creek has sprung into full creativity mode.

Other accomplishments include the establishment of a studio workspace on Sun Valley Road in Ketchum, and securement of an initial housing donation for new residing authors.

With those things done, Silver Creek was able to welcome

its first writers Christopher Linforth and Janée Baugher to the Wood River Valley.

writer. “It’s good to create physical and psychological distance from setting in a story. Being in Idaho has helped me to work on projects based elsewhere.”

When asked how the writer benefits from such programs as the Silver Creek Writers’ Residency, Baugher, who received the Silver Creek Fellowship for wilderness and nature writing, recalled the words of poet Jane Hirshfield: “Let her have time and silence with enough paper to make mistakes and go on.”

Fowler said the program is already benefiting Linforth and Baugher.

“The thing that excites me the most are the stories of how

much work Janée Baugher and Christopher Linforth are accomplishing during their stay in Ketchum,” he said. “These are serious, articulate, career-minded writers who have devoted an entire month to furthering their stories, essays, and novels.”

Looking forward, Silver Creek still has many aspirations to yet satisfy. The residency program currently looks to expand its board member and literary advisory involvement. Through that involvement, Silver Creek hopes to find additional opportunities for program sponsorship, which, as a corollary, may lead to new housing donations for future fellowship recipients.

Silver Creek’s long-term prospectus places emphasis upon the formation of an autumnal writers’ workshop, tentatively supported by a regularly scheduled gathering of a community writers’ group. With continued growth, Silver Creek also intends, in the coming two years, to create a “writers’ conference on craft” to benefit the aspiring author through the words of peers and mentors.

“We look forward to what the future holds,” Fowler said. “Our mission is to help emerging and new career writers of diverse genres complete their literary projects.” tws

Margaret Stewart

106 N Main St Hailey, ID 83333 (208) 578-2488

Activist heard ’round the world

BY dick dorworth

“By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world.”

––Ralph Waldo Emerson Ketchum’s Margaret Macdonald Stewart was born 67 years ago in Lexington, Mass., and had a family home in nearby Bedford, Mass.

The home has its own historical significance, having been pierced by a musket ball on April 19, 1775. The hole was patched on the inside of the house, but was considered historically significant and the hole on the outside was not repaired.

The hole was created by “one of the shots heard round the world” in the battles of Lexington and Concord that led to the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. Macdonald’s father, Robert D. Macdonald, was a highly respected mining and metallurgical engineer whose work took the family from Bedford, Mass., to Canada, Idaho, Ohio and Utah, where Margaret graduated from the University of Utah.

A middle child, Margaret Macdonald joined her five siblings volunteering with her parents to help those less fortunate.

As a consequence, she says that volunteering to make the world a better place is “in her family’s blood.”

Robert Macdonald worked for

the old Atomic Energy Commission, which is now known as the U.S. Department of Energy, and was frequently sent overseas on secret missions and was out of contact with his family for long periods of time.

Margaret Macdonald said her father’s classified work led her to develop a skepticism for all

Through the years, Macdonald has been true to those original principles of personal freedom that were personified by the American Revolution and “the shot heard round the world.” things atomic and the need for secrecy.

With an insatiable curiosity about nearly everything, Margaret Macdonald chose to not pursue a one-focus career. Volunteering for, and later becoming director of, a crisis hotline, her jobs also included house painting and sous chef.

Then, as with many people living in the Wood River Valley, she came to Sun Valley to visit a friend and ski, and never really left. In 1976, at a Ketchum party, she met her future husband, Mark Stewart, and they began their life together.

In the mid-1980s Margaret became central Idaho coordinator for the Snake River Alliance, an Idaho nuclear watchdog group commonly known as SRA. Over the next several years she worked to raise public awareness of nuclear fallout in southern and central Idaho from

above-ground atomic bomb testing in southern Nevada during the late 1940s and 1950s.

She also helped raise public awareness of the radiation and nuclear pollution from the nuclear research facility east of Arco, which is now known as the Idaho National Laboratory and uses the acronym INL. Other acronyms, each reflecting changing missions for the INL, have included INEEL, INEL, ERDA and NRTS, which was the shortening of the original name of National Reactor Testing Station.

Macdonald said she considers the Snake River Alliance’s greatest successes during her tenure with the organization as helping stop three atomic bomb-building projects and forcing the INL to acknowledge the existence and then begin the removal of plutonium-contaminated waste that had been buried over the Snake River Plain Aquifer, which is a main source of drinking water for more than 300,000 people and the lifeblood of southern Idaho’s agricultural industry.

Macdonald is still a fundraiser for the SRA but spends most of her time now helping her husband on alternative energy projects in building schools, water systems and medical clinics in Mexico.

Through the years, Macdonald has been true to those original principles of personal freedom that were personified by the American Revolution and “the shot heard round the world.”

Hailey, Mountain Rides get grant to study Main Street traffic

The City of Hailey in partnership with Mountain Rides has been awarded a technical assistance grant from New Mobility West, an initiative of Community Builders and the Sonoran Institute.

The grant will provide technical assistance to study Highway 75/Main Street from Elm Street on the south end to McKercher Boulevard on the north. The grant goals are to: 1) help the community and decision-makers understand the traffic volume on Main Street; 2) create a definitive public process that solicits input from the public and the business community on local transportation and economic development issues; and 3) develop a clear list of available alternatives and design solutions for the Main Street corridor.

Business owners on Main Street have been especially vocal in asking the city to tackle these issues.

“We can’t keep our front door open due to dust and noise,” states Jane Drussel, owner of Jane’s Artifacts at 106 S. Main Street, in a recent news release from the city. “I would like to see traffic slowed down and pedestrian safety improved. We want to try and maintain the ambiance of our Main Street by making a better environment for outdoor seating and other activities in front of Main Street businesses.”

Fourteen downtown business owners signed letters in support of the grant. Background data will be gathered over the next eight weeks in preparation for community-wide meetings in late September or early October.

The grant will fund a technical team of planners and transportation specialists to gather data, conduct public workshops and make recommendations.

The Weekly Sun’s dog-doo report, part III: After nearly three weeks, this collection of canine waste has been left at the entrance to the Hulen Meadows pond for someone else to pick up. After last week’s dog-doo report, The Sun received an anonymous phone call from a cyclist who said he sometimes collects and combines abandoned bags near the area, but is unable to transport them to a trash can on his bicycle. The Weekly Sun has been closely monitoring this scatological saga with interest to see how long the bag would be ignored. However, if the bag is still there after publication day today, Sun staff members will take the high road and throw the bag away.

No sprinklers: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Ketchum water users may not operate sprinklers on lawns and gardens between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. until Sept. 1. The city plans to increase enforcement because of the drought, Public Works Director Robyn Mattison states in a recent news release from the city. Violation of the ordinance on watering hours is a misdemeanor.

Exceptions may be for new plantings or drip systems that minimize evaporation. Mattison asks that residents contact participate@ketchumidaho.com if they see daytime sprinklers running at a vacant building or a neighbor who fails to respond to a gentle reminder. All of Blaine County is experiencing “severe” to “moderate drought,” and the entire state is “abnormally dry,” according to the National Drought Mitigation Center.

he Dalai Lama turned 80 this month and has not slowed down or lessened his efforts on behalf of his stated three main commitments: 1) Promoting the human values of compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment and self-discipline; 2) Promoting religious harmony and understanding among the world’s major religious traditions. (His website elaborates: “Despite philosophical differences, all major world religions have the same potential to create good human beings.”); and 3) As a Tibetan and the spiritual leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama’s third commitment is to preserve Tibet’s Buddhist culture of peace and nonviolence.

Though the Dalai Lama represents the best of an ancient culture and viewpoint on human life (peace and nonviolence), he is a futurist – an enlightened man who has written that modern science and the ancient practice of contemplation “…share significant commonalities, especially in their basic philosophical outlook and methodology.

On the philosophical level, both Buddhism and modern science share a deep suspicion of any notion of abCourtesy photo solutes, whether Dick Dorworth is a Blaine County conceptualized as resident, author and former a transcendent be- world record holder for speed on ing, as an eternal, skis.

Both Buddhism and science prefer to account for the evolution and emergence of the cosmos and life in terms of the complex interrelations of the natural laws of cause and effect. From the methodological perspective, both traditions emphasize the role of empiricism. For example, in the Buddhist investigative tradition, between the three recognized sources of knowledge – experience, reason and testimony – it is the evidence of the experience that takes precedence, with reason coming second and testimony last. This means that, in the Buddhist investigation of reality, at least in principle, empirical evidence should triumph over scriptural authority, no matter how deeply venerated a scripture may be.”

Empirical evidence as well as common sense confirm peace and nonviolence as preferable to conflict and brutality, and in 1989 the Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He was among the first to show that peace and nonviolence are available to every person and thereby the entire world.

In 2005, the Dalai Lama addressed the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in Washington, D.C., despite the protest of a few hundred of its 35,000 members who objected to a religious leader at a scientific meeting. But more than a decade earlier, after observing a brain surgery, he asked the surgeons, “Can mind shape brain matter?” That is, it has long been known that the physical condition of the brain affects the content and dynamics of mind. Can the mind, in turn, alter the brain?

Though William James in the 19th century and subsequent scientists had suggested the possibility, no one before the Dalai Lama had proposed that question and asked science for an answer.

The answer, under the umbrella name of ‘neuroplasticity,’ is ‘yes.’ A mind devoted to compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment, self-discipline, religious harmony, peace and nonviolence can shape its brain the same. Think of that. His Holiness the Dalai Lama does.

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR july 22 FRom picabo angleR

T

rico time is upon us and in full swing!

There is no other event on Silver Creek quite like the Trico spinner fall that is happening now through August. Each morning when the air temp hits 70 degrees all heck breaks loose on the Creek as big fish swim out of their deep-water lairs to suck in as many of these minute insects as possible. Here at Picabo Angler we call this event Trico madness, and we use that phrase on many levels.

The Trico will drive the fish mad, the angler mad and the event can become so big it becomes general madness everywhere!

If you have never fished the Creek, you are new to the sport or you have just never seen a Trico spinner fall, get to the Creek now!

Pick the nicest day you can, and be on the water anywhere from Point of Rocks through The Nature Conservancy. Bring 6X and 7X tippets as well as a small selection of Tricos. We suggest Trico Hackle Stackers, Stalcup’s Fan-Wing Trico, and any small spent-wing pattern you have. Our Trico selection here at Picabo Angler is huge. With the activity starting around 8 a.m., you have plenty of time to stop in to the fly shop here for breakfast, get advice on a few great patterns and perhaps get pointed in the right direction. We would love to share this awesome event with you!

Following the Trico, you can count on Baetis spinner falls as well as some Damselfly activity and, on some mornings, even the PMD will join this symphony of insects and fish. Now, just when you thought things couldn’t be better on Silver Creek – hopper time is also upon us! We have been getting fish to eat hoppers with more and more frequency.

So after the Trico action is over, stop in for lunch and then head back to the water for hopper time!

Freestone streams: The Big Wood and the Upper Lost continue to fish well.

Begin to really focus your efforts on the mornings and evenings, as the hot weather will bring on the Trico on these rivers as well as the evening Caddis activity. In the afternoon, fish a Dave’s Hopper with a dropper fly like a Prince Nymph or Pheasant Tail.

Tailwaters: The Lower Lost is also fishing well.

Have Trico and Crane Flies to skate around in the afternoon. The South Fork of the Boise continues to improve.

Load for bear with Caddis, Pink Albert, Cicada and Salmonflies.

Happy Fishing, Everyone!

The Beauty of Exercise Pens

BY FRAN JEWELL

J

ust what is an exercise pen or x-pen? It is a management tool that “show dog” people have long known about.

Essentially, it is a doggie corral.

It gives dogs and puppies more freedom than a crate and can help teach them so many things. For puppies, an exercise pen is much like a playpen for babies. There are many brands, colors, sizes and materials.

Why use an x-pen? First, puppies need to learn that confinement is a positive thing. I see so many puppies given too much freedom too fast and the result is poor manners, difficulties in housetraining, and unneeded stress when they must be confined at the veterinarian’s or at a boarding facility or when traveling. Confinement is a required experience; it is necessary for puppies to learn how to cope with confinement on an almost daily basis. If you have a non-shedding breed, that puppy will need to be regularly groomed by a professional. At the groomer, a puppy will have to be comfortable in a crate or small exercise area. If a puppy becomes sick, it will likely have to stay overnight at the veterinarian’s. If the puppy is comfortable with confinement, a kennel stay will be less stressful, which is important to the illness

the puppy may already be fighting. The pen is an excellent place to put a dog that has had surgery and needs to be quiet for a few days at home.

When bringing a puppy home, an exercise pen keeps your puppy safe when you answer the phone, make dinner, dine with the family, or any time that you cannot directly watch your puppy. It’s an easy place to put a puppy so they cannot chew electrical cords or furniture, yet it gives them enough space to play with toys, walk around, drink and eat and still be a part of the family nearby.

We can teach a puppy to sit for petting and going through doors with the help of an exercise pen; simply require the puppy to sit before they come out of the pen or receive attention.

Exercise pens can be a great way to introduce puppies to other dogs in the family, while protecting all of the dogs from unintended nips or potential squabbles that might lead to injury. Dogs need time to build relationships with each other.

A puppy in an exercise pen lets the older family dog feel safe from jumping, biting and puppy demands. Yet, both puppy and older dog can learn to relate to each other through the exercise pen. The pen gives the puppy a chance to learn to read the body

Exercise pens have many uses, including helping to teach puppies to sit nicely for petting and acting as a great “corral” to keep dogs safe when camping.

language of the older dog. They can lick and sniff each other until they can build trust.

Gradually, the puppy and the older dog can then spend supervised time together outside the exercise pen and have a chance to gradually build that trusting friendship.

With an older dog, such as a rescue that you want to introduce to your other dogs, it continues to work much the same way. A rescue can be introduced safely to the other family dogs through the exercise pen in the same way puppies can be introduced. Gradually, they are brought together in larger spaces, like the backyard, where they are supervised.

I take several exercise pens and put them together when I go camping so my dogs can have their own comfortable “corral” where they cannot run off to get lost or bother other campers in the campgrounds.

With some creativity, an exercise pen can be a great teaching tool and a way to prevent unwanted or unsafe behaviors.

‘Magic Mike XXL’

Jon rated this movie

A Little Less Magic

BY JONATHAN KANE

T

hree years ago, the original “Magic Mike” was a phenomenon. Directed by Steven Soderbergh and made for a ridiculous $7 million, the movie was a huge hit.

Besides a terrific supporting performance by Matthew McConaughey, what the film really had was the nonstop charisma and star appeal of its lead, Channing Tatum. The movie was about male strippers and

the personal crisis of its lead, who wanted a life away from the bump and grind and had a builtin audience of adoring women.

In the new, slightly disappointing sequel, “Magic Mike XXL,” not only is McConaughey gone, but so is the interesting subtext.

Instead, we have a road movie concert film that seems to have nothing on its mind so much as fun. In the sequel, the group of guys that surrounds Tatum are fully fleshed out (no pun intended) into an interesting fun

bunch. They include Adam Rodríquez, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash and Matt Bomer.

The story finds the boys – The Kings of Tampa – reuniting for one last fling at a strippers showcase held every year in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in front of 3,000 adoring fans.

Along the way, they have various adventures, meet some girls and show off their proficient moves. Tatum, now living the dream of his own construction business, is enticed to join the

boys on their great adventure.

Of course, the finale in Myrtle Beach is epic and a supreme triumph.

The film is directed admirably by Gregory Jacobs, but Soderbergh has his fingerprints all over it as he serves as editor and cinematographer. There is also a workable script by Reid Carolin, who wrote the original. But, in the end, what we have is a lightweight party, which may be all you need to brighten your summer’s day. tws

AVIAN INFLUENZA – How Will It Affect Me?

BY JACQUIE JACOB University of Kentucky

A

vian influenza has hit the American egg and turkey industries hard in the last few months, with over 45 million chickens and turkeys killed. Several backyard flocks have been affected, and consumer pocketbooks may be hit soon as well.

Avian influenza is caused by a virus that has many different strains. We are currently dealing with H5N2, H5N8 and H5N1 HPAI strains. The current HPAI outbreak has been detected in 15 states and has affected 212 farms. Iowa and Minnesota turkey and egg farms have been hit the hardest.

The avian influenza virus is believed to have been brought in by migratory waterfowl (ducks and geese). Waterfowl can carry

the virus without getting sick. They shed the virus in their manure, infecting other birds.

At the moment, there is no effective vaccine available for HPAI. Anyone keeping poultry flocks needs to be concerned about HPAI. The majority of the flocks affected have come from commercial operations; however, several backyard flocks have been infected as well. If you are showing birds, you should be aware that several states have banned poultry shows.

To protect your flock, don’t attract wild birds by putting out bird feeders. Don’t introduce adult birds purchased from swap meets or flea markets. Keep work clothes and equipment clean. Don’t borrow lawn and garden equipment tools or poultry supplies from other bird owners, and be on the alert for warning signs of avian influenza. The

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

warning signs include sneezing, coughing, nasal discharge, watery or green diarrhea, and purple discoloration of the birds’ combs, wattles and legs.

To date, there is no evidence that the current HPAI viruses that are infecting poultry flocks in the U.S. can infect humans. While it is not believed that the virus is transmitted through poultry meat and eggs, no products from infected flocks are entering the human food chain.

The main effect will be on the price of eggs and turkeys. The HPAI has devastated the egg and turkey flocks and it will take many months for the infected facilities to come back into full production. The result may be a shortage of eggs and turkeys, resulting in a major rise in the price of both.

adies and gentlemen, rev your engines for the 2015 Sun Valley Road Rally, the only event of its kind in North America!

The Road Rally, a weekend of world-class car rallying and cruising, is The Drug Coalition’s signature fundraiser to support our substance prevention programs and activities. This year’s Road Rally will take place this weekend, with events on Friday and Saturday.

On Friday from 5:30–8 p.m, enjoy the Ketchum Cruise & Car

active art

No Speed Limit

Show — which is free and open to the public. At 5:30 p.m., Rally contestants and local sports cars will parade from the YMCA in Ketchum through Sun Valley and Elkhorn to Ketchum Town Square. Anyone interested in entering a car in the parade should meet at the YMCA parking lot at 4:30 p.m. The cars will be on display at Ketchum Town Square from 6–8 p.m.

The Rally itself will take place on Saturday on a 3.2-mile stretch of Highway 75 north of downtown Ketchum. Busses will transport all spectators from the Sun Valley Pavilion parking lot to the

Sketchbook Hiking

Road Rally site in the morning, starting at 7.30 a.m and running regularly throughout the day.

This year’s Rally is sold out, but those interested in supporting The Drug Coalition can still enter in our raffle to win a $62,400, Porsche Cayenne. Tickets cost $100 each. “V6 Packets” are also available, which include six tickets for $500. Tickets can be purchased at The Drug Coalition tent across the street from Ketchum Town Square. The raffle will be held during the Ketchum Cruise & Car Show in Town Square at about 7:45 p.m. on Friday. The maximum number of tickets sold will be 1,600, so participants will have a better chance of winning the car than the lottery!

For a bit more info on this year’s Rally and the history of the event, here’s a quick Q&A with our Executive Director Michael David:

It started seven years ago as a way to raise money and awareness for The Drug Coalition.

How does it fit into our mission?

It honors the culture in the Wood River Valley of risk-taking and adventure seeking, but safely.

We’re not a prohibitionist organization, we want people to enjoy life in a healthy and positive way.

What programs does the Road Rally support?

The Rally helps fund our IDFY (Idaho Drug Free Youth), BRAVE (Balanced, Responsible, Active, Valued, and Enlightened) and The Parent Project programs. IDFY is more for the kids who are currently making and maintaining healthy decisions. BRAVE reaches the higher risk youth. The Parent Project helps parents and guardians learn skills that increase the chances of keeping their teens from abusing substances. Also, the Rally helps Why choose a Road Rally as support our new RxMedicine The Drug Coalition’s signature Awareness Campaign, which event? helps to combat the growing

problem of youth abusing prescription medicine.

What are you looking forward to most at this year’s Rally?

During the Ketchum Cruise on Friday, the actual Mutt Cutts Van from “Dumb and Dumber To” will be in the parade. I went to Dang’s in Hailey for lunch in the Mutt Cutts van with Sun Valley Auto Club owner Dave Stone, who has access to the truck because he had a cameo in the movie. We got more looks than if we’d rolled in in a Bugatti!

The Drug Coalition’s mission is to promote healthy and happy lives by decreasing youth substance use in Blaine County through effective programming, education and positive policy change.

Leslie Rego, “Lewis’ Monkeyflower”, nib pen and sumi ink, watercolor

Lewis’ MonkeyFlower (Mimulus lewisii)

BY LESLIE REGO

T

his time of year it is quite common to see Lewis’ monkey flower (Mimulus lewisii). This brilliantly pink flower likes to grow at higher elevations along stream banks and makes for a dramatic contrast to the deep blue of our western skies. Generally, I see it growing profusely on either side of the rivulets that stem off of our many mountain lakes.

Lewis’ monkeyflower is a very tall and showy plant and can spread over a large area. The stems can grow to be over 3 feet high and are covered with long narrow leaves. The leaves are distinctive because they have parallel veins running down the length of the leaf.

The flowers are part of the figwort family or more commonly known as the snapdragon family.

These plants are characterized by having a tube from which the petals flare outward, the lower petal forming a downward-facing “lip-like” structure. These flowers, with the long tube, attract bees for pollination. The bee crawls inside the long tube searching for pollen and his back quickly becomes dusted with the fine powdery sub

stance. As the bee enters the tube of the next flower, its back brushes against the stigma, depositing the pollen. I have never seen a grouping of the Lewis’ monkeyflower without many bees flitting in and out of the tubes of the flowers.

Lewis’ monkeyflower was named after Meriwether Lewis, who catalogued and dried specimens during his and William Clark’s westward expedition. Unfortunately, many of these were lost when the storage container, upon Lewis’ return, was flooded by the Missouri River, but Lewis’ monkeyflower survived. Apparently to the botanist who documented this flower, the down-turning petals had the appearance of a smile, and even more fancifully to the grin of a monkey. The Latin “Mimulus” comes from minus, signifying “mimic actor.”

But way before the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the scientific recognition of this plant, Native Americans created a steam bath from the stems and leaves to treat soreness of the chest and back. A poultice was made from crushing the leaves to treat rope burns and wounds. And the leaves were also made into a tea to treat stomachaches.

Can You Spell, ‘H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S’?

The Spot presents a sidesplitting & thought-provoking musical One week from today, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” will be in Ketchum’s spotlight at The Spot. The Tony Award-winning musical comedy runs July 29-August 9 at 7:30 p.m. with only 60 seats per show, to maintain an intimate theatrical experience.

“Spelling Bee” tells the tale of six idiosyncratic adolescents who compete to be the Putnam Courtesy photo County spelling champ. The cast Photos of the cast members from their elementary and middle school stars Brett Moellenberg, Medays.

Left to right: Tara Burchmore, Brett Moellenberg, Megan Mahoney, gan Mahoney, Sam Brown, Tara Burchmore, Alec England and Kevin Wade and Yanna Lantz.

Yanna Lantz as the spellers, and features Matt Gorby, Karen Nelsen and Kevin Wade as the Bee’s orchestrators.

For director and cast member Wade, the biggest challenge of the production has been “getting through rehearsal without laughing too hard.”

Although the musical is known for its uproarious linguistics and brilliant writing, audience participation is what makes this show truly unique. At each performance, four real audience members are invited to participate in the Bee, making each night an exclusive, engaging experience.

“The audience is not only watching this comical and endearing cast of characters, but they are actively involved in their lives,” explained Mahoney. She plays Olive in the production, a character whose best friend is her dictionary.

“Additionally, I think the characters are very influenced by the presence of a crowd, and that makes for excellent theatre,” elaborated Moellenberg, who plays William Barfée ¬– a speller famous for his “magic foot” technique.

Chalk-full of laughs though it may be, “Spelling Bee” has layers of depth that many comedies lack.

Characters, though exaggerated, are three-dimensional. Throughout the show, spectators are allowed glimpses into the characters’ individual home lives, stresses and fears.

“This allows the audience to create a personal relationship with each character that transcends humor,” Mahoney explained. “We exaggerate the pressure these kids are under for comedic purposes, but these situations are completely real and relatable.”

“Each speller describes the sensation of being unloved, being overlooked, being an embarrassment, losing their way, longing...things everyone has experienced at one time or another,” said Natalie Battistone, the show’s assistant director and production manager. “This play forces attendees to consider the effects they have on the children and young adults in their lives.”

Members of the cast and production team see “The I Love You Song” as a standout in the show. In the midst of all the hilarity and antics of the Bee, this gorgeous moment transports the audience into Olive’s dream world, where they find out how sad and sweet she is.

“Audiences will go back and forth between laughing and crying several times throughout the show,” Wade smiled. “It will have you rolling in the aisles and pluck on your heartstrings when you’re least ready.”

The lightness in which real life issues are shrouded in “Spelling Bee” makes it easier to open doors and begin conversations about the pressures put on today’s youth and how to aid them in their journey.

“I would hope that parents walk away from this show remembering that kids, every now and then, should be allowed to be kids,” Mahoney said.

Visit spotsunvalley.com for tickets to this unceasingly funny, one-of-a-kind musical. The Spot is located at 220 Lewis Street, Ketchum.

n 2004, Dan Buettner teamed up with National Geographic and leading population scientists to identify pockets around the world where people live measurably longer and measurably better. Ikaria, Greece; Sardinia, Italy; Loma Linda, California; Okinawa, Japan; and Costa Rica were recognized as the global leaders in longevity. In these “Blue Zones,” Buettner and his team found that people reach age 100 at rates 10 times greater than in the United States.

After identifying these Blue Zones, Buettner and National Geographic took teams of scientists to each location to identify lifestyle characteristics that might explain longevity. What began as a National Geographic expedition to find the longest living cultures evolved into a recipe for living longer. In his presentation, Buettner will share his adventures and the common diet and lifestyle habits that keep Blue Zone inhabitants spry past age 100.

His books, “The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest” and “Thrive: Finding Happiness the Blue Zones Way”, have remained national bestsellers, along with his new book, “The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World’s Healthiest People,” and have been featured on The Today Show, NBC Nightly News, Good Morning America, Dr. Oz, NPR, and Oprah.

ummer is here and we all want to be able to play outside.

With a few simple steps, you can stay active while protecting your skin at the same time.

Our friends “Down Under” figured this out 35 years ago with the simple phrase, “Slip, Slap, Slop” – slip on a shirt; slap on a hat; and slop on some sunscreen. This three-word phrase and a catchy jingle sung by Sid the Seagull became a tremendously successful public health campaign in Australia. Sid’s directions are a perfect way to approach the day.

What kind of shirt? Try a long-sleeved sun protective one if you’ll be out in the full sun.

What kind of hat? Wide-brimmed hats are where it’s at!

Which sunscreen? SPF 30 lets you get down and dirty! Don’t forget to re-apply every 90 minutes for ongoing protection. Also, remember that your lips need protection, too. Lip balm with SPF is a must.

Finally, plan outdoor excursions for before 10 a.m. and after 2 p.m., and seek shade during the midday. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a great time without sacrificing your skin!

Kudos to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, for being such pros?

Sass to the cyclists who continue to aviod the bike path like it’s the bubonic plague!

But kudos to their spandex!

Blaine County Noxious Weeds

BY THE BLAINE BUG CREW

A

t 4:30 in the morning on July 8th, the Blaine Bug Crew groaned and rolled out of bed and headed up to Rexburg in their faithful Liberty Jeep. They went to meet southern Idaho’s other county bug crews in a joint effort to collect as many Aphthona flea beetles as possible.

They used nets to “sweep” for

Purging Leafy Spurge

the bugs in a meadow infested with leafy spurge. In a little over four hours they collected over 133,000 insects to spread across southern Idaho, many of them in the backcountry of Blaine County.

The leafy spurge f lea beetles have seven different species with similar biology. The larva of the Aphthona f lea beetle complex damages leafy spurge by gorging on the plant’s fine

root hairs. This damages the roots and creates wounds that will be infected by pathogens in the soil. Aphthona larva may be found in spurge roots from July to early August. The larva pupate in the soil and emerge from June to August.

The adult’s feeding habits inhibit the leafy spurge’s photosynthetic ability to create root reserves. Aphthona are well suited for dry sites with high sun exposure.

We have targeted leafy spurge with biocontrol agents because it an aggressive, invasive plant. It reproduces by seed and vegetatively. Its extensive root system grows horizontally and vertically, and is

capable of reaching depths of 20 feet! Its stems are thickly clustered with narrow, alternate leaves. The leaves bleed a milky latex when damaged.

The f lowers are small, yellow/ green, and enclosed in yellow/ green bracts. Spurge seeds are oblong and grow in clusters of three in a capsule. When seeds dry, the capsules shatter. Seeds may be distributed as far as 15 feet from the plant! Leafy spurge is commonly found in grassland and rangeland habitats, but it also has the capacity to infest forests and riparian areas.

If you think you have an infestation of leafy spurge, or any other noxious weed, please

help protect Idaho’s native species by contacting Bronwyn Nickel at the Blaine County Noxious Weed Department or the Blaine Bug Crew at 208316-0355.
