Blaine County Commissioner Angenie McCleary. Courtesy photo.

BY DICK DORWORTH Blaine County Commissioner Angenie McCleary is out of town today. She’s in Seattle, Wash., where this evening she will receive the 2015 Early Achievement Award from the University of Washington’s School of Social Work, where she earned her master’s degree. The announcement states, “The Early Career Achievement Award recognizes alumni who, within 12 years of receiving their last degree from the School of Social Work, are carrying out innovative work, demonstrating influence in their field, and making a notable impact on the social work profession…McCleary’s social work degree and background in health and human services, combined with her passion for working with youth, brings a special focus and commitment to her role as county commissioner. She is particularly interested in issues related to affordable housing, better integration of the county’s growing Latino population, mental health and substance abuse, public transportation and public safety.” The 38-year-old McCleary is in her third term as commissioner and is the youngest person to ever hold that position. It is a huge responsibility and the Early Career Achievement Award recognizes her commitment to it. After all, the commissioners oversee Blaine County’s 17 departments, 179 employees and $22 million annual budget and Angenie will bring her special focus and commitment back to town and her full-time commissioner job tomorrow. Born in Baltimore, Md., McCleary and her family moved to Portland, Ore., when she was 11. She graduated from Portland’s Lincoln

High School and then studied psychology with an emphasis on pre-medicine at Middlebury College in Vermont. Like so many people reading this, after graduation she decided to take a short vacation from studies before going on to graduate school and she chose the Wood River Valley for that break. It was a decision that changed her life along a path familiar to other local citizens. She fell in love with the area even though she was “horrible” at her first job as a waitress at The Pioneer in Ketchum, but she was “lucky” in finding work that interested her, including being a social worker at Wood River Middle School and finding grants for local youth development groups. McCleary’s work attracted the attention of Len Harlig, who served seven years as Blaine County Commissioner and nine years on the Planning and Zoning Commission in the 1990s. He suggested to her that she become involved in local government. A few years later, in 2008, when Harlig’s successor, Sarah Michael, resigned, McCleary put her name in contention and was appointed to the Blaine County Commission by Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter. She won re-election in 2010 and 2012 and her current term will expire in 2016. McCleary views some of the primary challenges facing Blaine County as state/local/ national water issues, global climate change, the economy, and longstanding health problems, including high substance abuse, mental illness and a high rate of suicide. Angenie is a serious, accomplished runner who has a best time in the marathon of 2:54:05 which, as anyone who has ever run a marathon knows, is very, very good. tws

ummer is nearly here and that means great entertainment. Fantastic music under a beautiful Sun Valley sky is a wonderful way to have fun and bring the community together. That was the vision of one local resident, Will Caldwell, who is responsible for three different weekly concert series in Ketchum that are free to the public. Ketch’em Alive was the first of the trifecta of concert series that grew out of a quote from a tourist visiting our Valley. Caldwell explains: “The idea for weekly free concerts in Ketchum was conceived in 1999 when a tourist was quoted in the newspaper saying Ketchum-town was dead and boring on most summer nights. That was a bad brand for the tourists and no fun for the locals. The reality is that every warm summer night in Ketchum is a special opportunity for intrigue, adventure and romance; the very best summer nights were those spent dancing to music with the entire community at the occasional concert at Trail Creek. So why not make the most of summer, bring the music into town, make it

Exhibit Scheduled Through June 27

are works of literary art are newly viewable throughout the month of June during the Idaho Booker’s Dozen exhibit at The Community Library in Ketchum. The exhibit, showcased June 3 through June 27 in the library’s main foyer, hails from the Idaho Center for the Book featuring historical, stylistic titles from around the nation and overseas. “One special aspect of the exhibit is almost all the books displayed are intended to be interactive,” said library representative Cathy Butterfield. “Each book has a diverse style made from different materials and vibrant with color.” Tastefully shown through careful selections, lighting and placement, the books represented an attempt to depict era- and functionality-influenced literature and artistic formats. Uncommon book examples from Idaho, Washington, Texas, Virgin-

ia, Indiana and the United Kingdom are included in the month-long display. “The exhibit explores how books can take different forms, causing us to reevaluate how we conceptualize books themselves,” said Community Library representative Anna Svidgal in a June 1 press release. The Community Library in Ketchum, having recently celebrated its 60th anniversary, has championed arts, community and the written word throughout the Wood River Valley since its inception. ‘It [the library] continues to be one of the few privately funded libraries in the United States,’ library officials report of The Community Library’s dedication to the Valley populace. In showcasing the Idaho Booker’s Dozen exhibit, The Community Library has partnered with the Idaho Center for the Book and Boise State University’s Arts and Humanities Institute in support of collaborative research, design and

productivity methodology. Community Library personnel report that the exhibit will encompass 14 separate pieces, each item displayed alongside an informational card pertaining to that work. The 2015 Idaho Booker’s Dozen also provides a take-home booklet listing all exhibited pieces as well as information on each artist. An affiliate of the venerable Library of Congress since 1993, the Idaho Center for the Book is housed on the campus of Boise State University. The Idaho Center for the Book proclaims its initiative as the promotion of interest in reading, writing, manufacturing, internalizing and collecting literature. The pursuit of said endeavors, in accordance with the Idaho Center for the Book, is tantamount to preservation and publication of Idaho’s bibliographic heritage. The Idaho Booker’s Dozen posts an itinerary date with the Hailey Public Library during July before moving

on to locations statewide. “All libraries are about democratic access to ideas, but The Community Library truly exemplifies that spirit,” said Jenny Emery Davidson, the library’s executive director. “All kinds of creative activities happen at the library,” said Davidson of the vibrant arts scene cultivated with library support. Library staff agrees that the future lies in continued growth of services and programs for its patrons. “We wish to continue to do what we do well,” said Butterfield. For more information regarding the ongoing monthlong exhibit, contact The Community Library at 208726-3493 or visit the library during library hours. “This is a spot for the community to come together in sharing life and knowledge,” said reference librarian Buffy McDonald. “We want to continue this [the library] as an open palette,” she said. tws

Fundraiser to support social entrepreneurs BY MARIA PREKEGES

ome celebrate, enjoy the beauty that is Galena Lodge, and raise money for a great organization at the ‘Wild Rumpus’ on Wednesday, June 24 from 6-10 p.m. ‘Wild Rumpus,’ you ask? The ‘Wild Rumpus’ is a not-to-disappoint fundraiser for the Wild Gift foundation of the Wood River Valley. Wild Gift is a local nonprofit that supports young social entrepreneurs locally and around the globe and is hosting its inaugural benefit to celebrate Wild Gift alumni and to raise money for future Wild Gift Fellows and their better-world ventures. Wild Gift is a nonprofit based in Hailey. For over 12 years Wild Gift has been supporting young leaders with ‘wild ideas that disrupt the status quo,’ states their website. It is one of the only organizations in Idaho dedicated solely to supporting social entrepreneurs and offers a unique concept that combines traditional social entrepreneurship support with a wilderness component, fostering qualities such as grit, resiliency, and collaboration among Fellows. The ‘Wild Rumpus’ fundraiser will feature a barbecue dinner catered by Galena Lodge, local beer and wine, and whiskey tastings from Wyoming Whiskey. Local mountain biking celebrity and ‘Queen of Pain’ Rebecca Rusch will be the featured speaker of the evening. There will also be a live auction that will highlight several ‘wild’ items, including a painting by local artist and Wild Gift board member, Deborra Bohrer, and a wilderness print from another Wild Gift board member, Matt Leidecker.

For those not staying at Galena, there will be a shuttle service from Ketchum to Galena Lodge for $15 per person, round trip. The evening will conclude with everyone kicking up their heels to the music of Jonathan Warren & The Billy Goats from Boise. The band will play their unique blend of alternative country that is made for dancing. Tickets are $75 each and can be purchased via Eventbrite or by visiting the Wild Gift website at: www.wildgift. org. Wild Gift board member Deborra Bohrer states: “Since I joined the board of Wild Gift in 2014, I have had the privilege of experiencing the excitement and hope that only bright young minds can create. Our Fellows have innate qualities that include determination, grit, and resiliency. Given the overwhelming issues we face globally, Wild Gift offers the opportunity to have a significant impact on outcomes. Wild Gift is a Sun Valley organization that reaches out to the four corners of the world and is unique in its influence and support. I am very proud to be a part of this organization.” Another board member, Rick LeFaivre, agrees: “As a longtime supporter of young entrepreneurs, I love Wild Gift’s mission of getting social entrepreneurs out of the conference room and into the Idaho wilderness. What better place to celebrate this unique mission than Galena Lodge. Party time!” For more information on the ‘Wild Rumpus’ fundraiser and to purchase tickets for this June 24th event at Galena Lodge, visit www. wildgift.org or call 208-4715091. tws

tudents at Hailey’s Silver Creek High School (SCHS) are at the forefront of an alternate course in Idaho’s educational practices. The school, having adapted the approach of “Big Picture Learning,” has reassessed and restructured its classroom environment, providing a personalized education to students. There is no traditional ringing of school bells down the halls of Silver Creek High School. “Big Picture Learning” has transformed the school day into an interactive environment of rigorous real-world learning. Students are guided in discovery of personal interests through job shadowing and workplace internships. Such experiences allow for confident pursuit of career-minded study in areas appealing directly to students. “We’ve remodeled our school to a style of learning that best meets the students’ needs and prepares them for the future,” said SCHS Principal Mike Glenn. “[SCHS] worked with the state Department of Education in Boise in becoming the first school granted a credit waiver to pursue our scholastic vision,” said Glenn. “That has given us the freedom to lead with ‘Big Picture Learning’ at our school.” SCHS students are provided placement within interactive educational scenarios of their own choosing. Participating businesses undergo background evaluations, parents provide necessary consent, and the students record data and experiential analysis through blog sites and journal use. Students’ work is assessed narratives from teachers, who then dialog with students to attain two-way feedback on what has been learned. The “non-industrialized” scholastic tactic is based upon student interest areas and individual skill base, putting the student/intern at the helm of their educational experience. As a result, attendance and willing participation has increased while discipline has fallen.

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

The school itself has experienced positive growth in the wake of these changes. SCHS has recorded a year of ‘firsts’ in hosting their first prom, printing the first school newspaper, and creating the first school video yearbook. “We’re seeking to innovate the educational process,” explained Glenn and SCHS LTI coordinator/teacher, Adam Porth. “Use of the programming at SCHS has spurred other state schools to investigate more about what we’re doing.” “Our kids get to sample from a full spectrum of options without the pressure of commitment prior to understanding,” added Porth, himself a support pillar to new LTI programming. “This authentic learning benefits the students as well as the teachers.” Dartanyon Ratcliffe, a SCHS student with a passion for animal care, interned with Pet Grooming by Debbie, an experience which he says fueled his interest to pursue a professional career along similar lines. “The experience is amazing,” said Ratcliffe. “The mentors are great and informative. I have a career goal.

I am excited to follow it. The internship helped me strike out into a professional area that I know interests me.” “I’m learning through real-life experience,” said fellow intern Tyson Spellman. “I can’t wait to see what [the program] is going to do next.” According to school officials, a key program factor is its evolutionary potential. A review of SCHS data takes place three years hence, a time frame in which educators know they will see exciting positive development. “Both the program and our students have shown flexibility in continuing to learn and improve,” said Glenn. “It’s the students who are to be commended in this process.” “What we’re demonstrating here is only going to get bigger and better,” said Porth. “It’s education without constraints.” “I’ve been an educator for over 20 years, and this program matches my teaching style more than any other. I look forward to coming to work each day,” Porth added. SCHS students Ratcliffe and Spellman agree. “We love what our school is doing for us, and we love coming to school,” they said.

Snapshot on Success

tws

Silver Creek student Tyson Spellman, a recent participant in the school’s “Learning Through Internship” (LTI) program, worked with educators to discover a fit that engaged him. “It was an opportunity simply not possible in a regular school environment,” said Spellman of the personalized self-discovery process leading to an internship at The Weekly Sun offices. Spellman encountered a hands-on learning opportunity that placed him at the front lines of print news. Given a window into a real-world work environment, Spellman shouldered an active role in the newspaper business and in writing copy. “To me, it was an incredible first-hand experience,” said Spellman. “Being involved in my school’s program will positively influence any path I choose to take in the future. I wake up wanting to go to school.”

Vintage With Vitality

Once a private residence, used for a time by the Mormon church and now comfortable guest accommodation, Hailey’s historic Inn at Ellsworth Estate shows off its new look for summer occupancy. Photo by Paul Fadden

Inn at Ellsworth is a classic refreshed By P.M. Fadden

he Inn at Ellsworth Estate, located in Hailey, reveals a fresh chapter to its rich and varied past. Situated on several acres at 703 South 3rd Avenue in Hailey, the nine-room Ellsworth Inn has refreshed its classic appeal with upgraded décor, remodeled interior and 1800-thread-count bedding in a pet- and child-friendly setting. Grounds feature a rental house, wide lawnscapes, tennis court, flowering gardens and a deck for barbecuing. “It’s an ideal location for family or private stays,” said Ellsworth innkeeper Gabrielle Meadows, a 10-year resident with 40 years of chef/ baking experience. “The [Ellsworth] Inn is already known as a great birthday, wedding or reunion site, but it’s a perfect bed-and-breakfast option, too.” Built in 1915 by the architectural hand that brought Hailey its courthouse and library building, the private residence-tur ned- church property came under new ownership, undergoing major renovation and transforming the iconic structure into today’s Inn at Ellsworth Estate. “We’re stepping it up a notch,” said Meadows of the Ellworth’s community appeal. “Not only is this still a historic Idaho home and event site, it’s also a luxury accommodation for that romantic getaway or family gathering.” Discounted anniversary stays are offered to couples married at the Ellsworth, and the large-home layout provides ample space for family gatherings and reunions. “The landscape has re

ceived an upgrade along with the home, which is a great area for children, and visitors still have full use of the spacious kitchen for home-cooked meals,” added Meadows. A Texas transplant, Meadows retains her hospitality-oriented sensibilities. “For me, food and hospitality go hand in hand,” she said. “That attention and care goes into the gourmet breakfasts, baked treats and preserves offered to our guests throughout their stay.” Couples and leisure travelers alike frequent the Inn at Ellsworth Estate, with as many as 20 guests in occupancy at a time. Inn ownership and host feel that such ambience also lends to private functions. The Ellsworth offers convenient amenities to visiting couples or private groups, such as wedding and event planning services by Diane Estey, or local insights into area fishing. The Inn at Ellsworth Estate throws its doors wide for a June 20th open house and ribbon-cutting, inviting neighbors and newcomers to roam its rooms while review-

ing the modern comforts and classic flavor of the historic Valley inn and, according to owner Mary-Jo Mayton, a morning Chamber of Commerce meeting will be hosted by the Ellsworth the following Tuesday. The upcoming summer months see high occupancy over the Fourth of July holiday when guests are treated to an onsite barbecue and front-lawn blanket seating for the community fireworks display. Later events include the annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival in October. The Ellsworth plans to expand upon that strong base with concepts such as involvement in the already popular “Hailey Halloween Hoopla” and winter stay packages to include airport transportation and skier accommodations. “We wish to share the special thing we have here,” said Meadows. “Idaho is a beautiful, wild area with so much to offer, and we [the Ellsworth] are lucky to enjoy access to it,” said Meadows. “The Ellsworth is my home, and I want guests to feel that same warmth.”

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR JUne 10 FRom picabo angleR

Summerlike conditions have returned to Silver Creek and the Wood River Valley, and with the heat comes some additional runoff, mostly from snows left by the spring storms. Just as the rivers began to drop, this newest heat wave has brought them back up and at a flow that makes our freestone streams rough to fish. The good news is, this should be the last of the runoff, and by this time next week all our rivers should be fishable and with the beginnings of great hatches. Coming off of the Brown Drake hatch, anglers can expect more big bugs in the form of Salmon Flies and Stoneflies. The Green Drake should be making its first appearance with the clearing of our local waters, as well. On Silver Creek, the PMDs, Callibaetis and Baetis are taking turns stealing the show from each other, but with the hot weather, expect the bright-bodied Green Drakes to begin showing in the midafternoon. This insect can be a game changer on the Creek when the heat of summer settles into the afternoon hours and anglers are looking hard to find a decent hatch. The Big Wood, Little Wood and upper Lost River are going to peak again this week, but get ready, because some of the season’s best fishing is about to happen on these streams. A combination of Green Drakes, Stoneflies, Salmon Flies, baby Hoppers and Crane Flies should set all these systems on fire! With high flows continuing, please wade with caution, leave your pups at home for another few weeks, fish with a friend as well as a secure wading belt and tell someone where you are fishing! Also, a wading staff is a good idea in the early season. The South Fork of the Boise River is most likely the scene of the next big hatch, the Salmon Fly. No reports from anglers yet, but it’s always better to be the first reporting! If you go, please scout the river, be aware of all the new rapids, be liberal with your lifejacket and keep an eye on your fellow anglers and boaters. Finally, be ready for a lot of change this week. Summer heat will change the fishing dramatically. Expect the hours of great fishing to change on the Creek, and expect a few fantastic weeks on our freestones the second the water begins to drop and turn glacial green.

Happy Fishing Everyone!

Summer Travel, Let’s Play By The Rules

Fun On The Ferris Wheel

Today’s topic: exit row seating BY MARIA PREKEGES

ummer is here, the kids are out of school, and chances are you’ll be boarding a plane sometime in the near future. Dealing with travel, especially summer travel when the flights are full and airports are crowded, can be a lot. But I ask you – in fact, I plead with you – to follow a few simple guidelines and considerations to make your trip, and everyone else’s, for that matter, a more pleasurable experience. Flying is simply not the same, especially since 9/11. You will need to spend more time at the airport, and there are rules that you must abide by. But this is all part of the deal. If you’re already dreading the trip, then maybe you shouldn’t be taking it. I mean, look where we live; it’s a beautiful place and one can vacation Maria Prekeges just by living is a television host, here. That being producer and longsaid, you may time local who loves reporting and who already have a is always learning ticket in your hand; hence, from others. you must indeed travel. So let’s start off on a good note, plan ahead, get to the airport extra early, follow the rules, and try to be kind to others. Heck, you might even want to flash a smile at someone. One of the most important aspects of flying, in my opinion, deals with the exit row. You’re lucky enough just to be sitting in the exit row, which is premium seating these days. The flight attendant comes by and needs your attention, so please give it. They ask you a simple question and need a verbal answer of yes or no. So give it to them. A verbal answer means you must say it out loud. You may think this is a simple task, but it seems for some to be very difficult. It amazes me when people seem put out by the 15 seconds it takes to accomplish this task. So I once again plead with you: put down your cellphone or book, take off those headphones, and give this person your undivided attention. I mean, how would you like it if someone came to your work and ignored you? 10

BY BRENNAN REGO

iding a Ferris wheel is the kind of good, old-fashioned fun that never goes out of style As I watched the Hailey Family Carnival set up late last week for three days of rides, games and funnel cakes on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I realized it had been years since I’d been on a Ferris wheel. In fact, I couldn’t remember when or where I rode one last. So, after watching the Carnival crew set the wheel up in downtown Hailey, I decided I’d grab my camera, check out the scene and get a few photos from the top of the wheel. And what a scene it was! It was a blast seeing all the happy, smiling faces at the Carnival. People of all ages were laughing as they exited the rides. Beyond the Ferris wheel, the rides included the so-called “Graviton” (which reminded me of a biologist’s centrifuge wherein the rider takes the place of the test tube. I skipped that one.), a spinning swing set that was very popular, another wheel that had egg-shaped pods that would invert as the wheel went around, and several other choices— including some tame options for the smaller kids. After my jaunt on the Ferris wheel, I called up the Hailey Chamber of Commerce—who put on the Carnival along with Washington Federal and Goode Motor—to offer all three entities kudos for a successful event and also to get a bit more info. Pat Bowton, the Chamber’s operations director, said the now-defunct South Valley Merchants Alliance had put on a carnival in Hailey for years on the last day of school. She said the Chamber became involved in the event last year, but there were no rides. “In the past, it was just some games and a bouncy house,” said Bowton. “That’s what made this year such a fun deal. You had the games, the rides, the funnel cakes and corn dogs, everything that goes along with a carnival. It was great.” Bowton added that on Tuesday morning, the Carnival operators agreed to return next year due to the popularity of the event. “It was packed from five until closing every day,” she said. “My favorite thing was watching my grandson go

on the Graviton. He’s only six and he went on it eleven times. He didn’t get sick. I couldn’t believe it. He went on each of the rides at least once.” In my opinion, events such as the Carnival are not only great fun, they’re tremendously important for our community to support and for our community members, especially the kids, to experience. The Wood River Valley is an incredible place to grow up, but it can sometimes be limiting in terms of “regular” experiences. When I was a kid in the Valley, I remember really appreciating opportunities to experience things that kids who grow up in more “normal” places get to do. The revamped Carnival is a great example of one of those opportunities. Maybe next year I’ll be brave enough to tackle the Graviton. For now, I’m content with the fact that I got to enjoy a view of my home Valley from the top of a Ferris wheel. Having a yearly carnival with real rides in the Wood River Valley is great for everyone. Great job to the Hailey Chamber of Commerce, Washington Federal and Goode Motor for making it all happen. Have an awesome week and thanks for reading The Weekly Sun. tws

The Apps Of Summer Tools for the perfect season BY YANNA LANTZ

Peaks & Valleys

ummer is just around the corner! There are some truly exceptional smartphone apps on the market to help you enjoy summer to its fullest potential. Some of the apps are free, but some are not. Just remember, spending $2 on an app is the equivalent of buying a bag of chips that you can eat forever! Without further ado, here are my picks for the top summer apps:

Weber Grills – Free What would summer be without BBQs and grilled meat? Become a grill master this summer with the help of this app. With 4.3 out of 5 stars and over 10,000 downloads, this app is among the best free grilling apps. Weber Grills is slick and easy to use, featuring recipes, grilling skills and tips for tackling charcoal and gas grills. Runtastic Squats – $1.99 Looking to get in shape without equipment? Want strong, defined legs, thighs and a firm butt? I’m not one for going to the gym, usually, so I use this app because it gives me flexibility in my workouts. Runtastic Squats turns your phone into a personal trainer that coaches you step by step toward better buns. This app features personalized training plans, a voice coach for constant feedback, statistics and an accurate counting system that keeps track of how many squats you’ve completed. Dark Sky – $3.99 Wondering if you have time to take a hike or walk the dog before it rains? Using GPS, Dark Sky is able to create forecasts for your precise location, giving you minute-to-minute predictions for the next hour and detailed forecasts for the next day and week. Even if you haven’t opened the app in days, Dark Sky will know when you’re in the path of a storm! The app’s radar animation helps you see the path of a storm, so you can stay dry by knowing where a storm is

headed next. There are a lot of free weather apps, but they never seem to be that accurate. Dark Sky gives me my own personal weather station! Pixlr – Free Capture your perfect summer, frame by frame. With Pixlr, a powerful photo editor, you can quickly crop, rotate or fine-tune any picture and choose from 2 million combinations of free effects, overlays and borders. I love this app because it gives me so many options and allows me to share my photos to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or email with a simple click. Ultimate Guitar Tabs – $2.99 What campfire would be complete without music? Voted by Google as one of the best apps of 2014, Ultimate Guitar Tabs & Chords is a mobile version of the world’s largest catalog of guitar and ukulele chords, tabs and lyrics, available even offline in the woods! You can learn how to play your favorite songs and chart toppers with the app’s interactive lessons. The app’s transpose feature can put a song in any key and autoscroll makes playing a song that much easier. Underscore your evenings and be the hit of the bonfire. Sky Guide – $1.99 I have always loved the stars. But in the Wood River Valley, I can see more than ever! With Sky Guide, I can learn every star’s name, its distance from earth, history, what constellation it’s part of and more. This app is great for stargazers and romantics. It uses your phone’s compass to locate exactly what star you are looking at, no matter where you are. You can turn the compass off to pan around the app’s stunning, high-definition, 360-degree rendering of the sky, including a quick look under the horizon at the stars not yet visible in your area. You can also zoom in with a pinch to see objects more clearly, and tap a star, satellite, cluster or planet to learn more about it. tws All photos courtesy of Google Play

Nobody Home BY DICK DORWORTH

Snyder: Part of the actualization of Buddhist ethics is, in a sense, to be a deep ecologist. The actualization of Buddhist insights gives us a Buddhist economics not based on greed but on need, an ethic of adequacy but simplicity, a valuation of personal insight and personal experience over possessions. What I like most about Buddhism really is its fearlessness. So much of what warps people is fear of death and fear of impermanence. So much of what we do is simply strategies to try and hold back death, trying to buy time with material things. So at its best Buddhism provides people with a way of seeing their own frailty: you need less in the way of material objects and fortresses around yourself.

s always with Snyder, there is more. Born in 1930 he was a founding father of the “Beat Generation,” a cultural/literary movement of the 1950s with an outsized influence on the consciousness of America. It was never large in numbers, but its early members included Jack Kerouac, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Lucien Carr, John Clellon Holmes, Neal Cassidy, Gregory Corso and William Burroughs, while later adherents included Richard Brautigan and Ken Kesey. The Beats viewed the accepted mores of the establishment as constrictive to the human spirit, destructive to social equality and a sellout of the best of humanity. Whether or not one embraced (I did and do) or rejected it (many did and do), the message of the Beat GeneraDick Dorworth is a Blaine tion lives on, nowhere County resident, author moreso than in the work and life of its and former world record last-standing found- holder for speed on skis. ing father whose book Visit his website and blog Turtle Island earned at dickdorworth.com. the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1975. This alone from “Nobody Home: writing, Buddhism, and living in places” by Gary Snyder in conversation with Julia Martin is worth the price of the book and the pleasure of the read: This latest book began in 1984 when a young South African graduate student, Julia Martin, wrote Snyder a letter with questions about his writings. She writes, “It started as an intellectual exchange and became an exploration of practice. As a young person living in a society demarcated by the paranoid logic of apartheid, it was refreshing to meet the spaciousness of Gary’s way of seeing. His delight in wildness…the truly radical realization that things are not things but process, nodes in the jeweled net… a tendency to walk out of the narrow prison of dualistic thought.” Nobody Home is a compilation of some of their correspondence and interviews of nearly 30 years and shows, among other things, how the beat of the Beats is still keeping time. From opposite sides of the world they illuminate the connectedness of all things, times, places and people – apartheid and a valuation of personal insight and personal experience over possessions; Snyder’s comment to Julia that “…you can hope that your country never becomes a superpower because that’s a huge drag”; and the book’s closing lines from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, “Compassion, love, and forgiveness, however, are not luxuries. They are fundamental for our survival.” tws The Beats go on. 11

Show Stopper BY JONATHAN KANE

ood River High School junior Spenser Pfau has a love for all things musical. She is a member of Colla Voce, the school’s all-girl singing ensemble, plays the violin and the guitar, as well as establishing herself as a formidable presence on the stage, acting in many of St. Thomas Playhouse’s musical presentations. Pfau also has time to be a member of Compassionate Young Leaders and will be traveling to India this summer on a humanitarian mission as well as being a very active member in the school’s environmental club. “I just love singing,” Pfau said, “and I love performing. I guess I’ve always been a singer because I knew it was something that I enjoyed doing. My dad is a guitarist, so I started at an early age – 2.” In Colla Voce, Pfau was recently nominated as a section leader. “I love to sing everything – opera, R&B, soul, jazz, classical, pop – anything that gives me passion and happiness. My favorites are singers like Billie Holiday and Etta James. They are both powerful female figures that had a voice and showed the world that it was powerful.” Pfau also loves to sing on the stage in musical theater, having started with St. Thomas Playhouse’s children’s theater Company B when she was 6 years old. “It was something that fueled my desire and confidence as a performer,” she said. “It’s hard as a kid in the theater because it’s very raw. You are really out there and you are giving a part of yourself away. You are also showing people who you really are.” She added that she enjoys performing in shows like West Side Story or South Pacific because “you can see an older generation enjoy something that they loved in their youth.” Pfau is also a proficient dancer, having been with the Sun Valley Ballet School until eighth grade. Recently, Pfau took place as one of 300 singers at the All-Northwest Honor Choir in Spokane, Wash. She had to audition against a thousand singers and was chosen. “Honestly, it made me feel that I have a shot at singing professionally. It gave me a lot of pride in all the hard work I’ve done these last few years and that it has all paid off.” tws

By Fran Jewell

nyone looking for help with training their dog will instantly look to the Internet. Without any prior experience, a new dog owner is quickly overwhelmed by the information available. And, of course, there is something for everyone. There are trainers/books/websites that suggest old diehard “Koehler” methods that are primarily compulsion-based. And there are those that boast “intimidation-free and force-free” training using only positive reinforcement. More popular lingo includes “science-based training” or “relationship-based training.” While many of those terms sound appealing, they are indeed intended to be appealing to lure you into that mindset. If your experience is limited, having never owned a dog before or owning only one or two dogs, but now find yourself with a dog that is much different than what you expected, you might be searching for some guidance. Clear guidance can be incredibly difficult to sift through on the Internet. “Searching for Guidance” is the key. When we work with dogs, we must understand that all dogs need “guidance” in order to be happy and well adjusted. Not only do we as humans need guidance, but dogs do, too. As children, we are rewarded for good work in school. But we are also not allowed to play in the street, touch a hot burner, or pull someone’s hair. Well, usually anyway. Most of the time our parents and our society “guide” us by giving us clear information about what is expected and the good behaviors, as well as letting us also know that certain behaviors like driving drunk will land us in jail. Dogs left to their own devices are going to make dog decisions – like who can come in the house, walk by the car, who can touch the food bowl, which dogs they will respect, and so on. That’s all fine and dandy if dogs only lived in a dog world and not a human world full of threats to their lives, litigation, and potential homelessness. Training needs to reveal both the good things we want the dog to do as well as setting boundaries about what we will not allow in our household. If there is no guidance, dogs will become anxious. This is how separation anxiety, and dog-to-dog and dog-to-people aggression get a foothold. If the dog does not know you will give it direction, guide it and protect it, it will resort to what it thinks it should do from a dog’s perspective. Many times, dogs that are obsessive jumpers (on people) are literally asking for guidance. “PLEASE! TELL ME WHAT TO DO!” the dog is exclaiming to the owner. If you watch dogs play together, they will give each other signals about what is okay and what is not okay. They may get up and move, give a

hard stare, grumble or growl a bit. Sometimes they will raise a lip or a few hairs on their back. Many times those signals are absent to our eye. If another dog does not listen to those requests, those requests become stronger until it may escalate into a dogfight. If your dog lives in pack of other dogs, all the dogs will express to each other what is acceptable and what is not. Dogs will give each other very clear guidance. Of course, there are a few exceptions to that rule. Some dogs don’t relate nicely, some can bully, and some can completely shut down. But, those are other stories for another time. When we fail to provide that guidance – yes, this is right, and no, this is not acceptable – the lack of guidance can become terrible anxiety for the dog. Good dog training provides as much fair and reasonable information to the dog as possible. It is moderate, not extremely compulsive or permissive. Good dog training lavishes the dog with positive reinforcement for the behaviors we want from the dog, yet sets boundaries with fair consequences for behaviors that may ultimately be life-threatening for the dog or for YOU, the owner! Good dog training involves consistent leadership. Every species on earth has leaders and social hierarchy. Dogs are no exception. In parting, I’d like to suggest the following description of “leadership” for our dogs. I see this as pertaining to both a dog that is a leader to other dogs, as well as how a human can be a leader to their own dog. Leadership: the act of guiding another or a group (or pack) through benevolent, fair, respectful, knowledgeable, but confident mannerisms that provides security and cohesiveness among the members.

Cheatgrass Invasion

BY SARAH BUSDON

heatgrass, also known as downy brome, is an annual plant native to Eurasia. The invasive weed was originally introduced into North America through soils brought by ocean-faring vessels and is now a dominant species in the Great Basin Desert (parts of Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Utah). Cheatgrass is usually found along roadsides and in areas disturbed by construction, fire, floods, poor grazing activities and intense recreation, but it will invade undisturbed areas as well. It has become the dominant species over native plants in part because of its prolific seed production and ability to germinate in the autumn or spring, giving it a competitive advantage over native perennials. Cheatgrass is highly flamT h e W e e k ly S u n •

mable and a concern for homeowners and their pets. Clear the grass from within the immediate area surrounding your home up to 30 feet and keep it mowed to a minimum of 6 inches or less. Cheatgrass can be harmful to your pet. It can invade their ear canals and sinus passages, and get lodged in paws. It can travel under your pet’s skin, requiring a trip to the vet for surgery. Check your pets after outings to ensure they didn’t pick up any cheatgrass on their way home. Cheatgrass can be removed by hand pulling or mechanical techniques (lawnmower, weed-whacker, disking, etc.). Remove the grass before it has time to mature, produce seed, and turns brown and dies. Once removed, rototill the soil to a 3-inch depth and plant the area with desirable species. There are chemical treat-

June 10, 2015

ments that may control cheatgrass; however, before using any chemical, make sure that the herbicide label lists cheatgrass and follow all instructions on the label. Intense grazing is another method of control used by livestock producers. Eradication of cheatgrass from large areas is not a reasonable goal. Efforts should focus on reducing cheatgrass dominance and increasing perennial vegetation and native species.

The Coffee House

A Gathering BY MIKE MCKENNA

riginally opened on Christmas Eve, the nonprofit Coffee House on North Main Street in Hailey celebrated its grand opening and ribbon-cutting on May 30th. The daylong event included live music on the patio, random giveaways including a cruiser bike from Sturtos, some of their delicious homemade baked goods, and coffee from Lizzy’s Fresh Coffee in Ketchum. All in all, it was a fun, successful and positive event. The fact that the event went so well should come as no surprise, since The Coffee House’s head honcho, Roy Clark, has a marketing background. But that’s not why he and his family got into the coffee shop business. “We really felt the call, felt that God was calling us to come here,” Clark said about his wife, Wendy, and their three daughters, Haley, Heather and Hannah. Clark and his family had been visiting the Wood River Valley for a decade and were ready to move on from their home in the San Francisco Bay Area. “The more we researched this area, the more we liked it. We eventually got the bug and fell in love with the place, and wanted to invest in the community,” Clark said. One piece of research in particular really caught their attention: the Valley’s unusually high suicide rate. The Clarks are a family of strong Christian faith and felt they could make a positive difference. “We wanted to see if we could help

with that,” Clark said, “…try and give the young people, especially, some hope.” While the Clarks have a strong faith, The Coffee House is not religious-based. They don’t serve lattés and breakfast burritos accompanied by biblical verses. Instead, the secular coffee shop is working on the rather long process of securing its nonprofit status so it can support a wide variety of local programs and people. “Our plans for the proceeds from sales relate to generously supporting the community in tangible, boots-on-the-ground ways. We want to build relationships and invest in people,” Clark explained. “We hope that people would want to gather here, that it would feel warm and welcoming and folks would want to hang out here,” Clark said about the restaurant’s tagline of “A gathering place.” That’s also why The Coffee House is open evenings on Fridays and Saturdays and some special occasions, to give local youth and other folks another safe and healthy option to gather and socialize at night. “We feel like if we can offer a good product, good service, and be friendly, that we will be successful,” Clark said.

A Noxious Perspective BY THE BLAINE BUG CREW

any moons ago, our race (Dalmatian toadflax) was revered. Our fathers were brought to this desolate land to provide cheer to this gloomy and depressed North American civilization. We were brought as ornamentals to decorate the abodes of rulers and the rich! But they limited our ability by fencing us to mere peasant gardens, to be dug up by the troublesome neighbor’s dog, Fluffy McFluffers the Sixth. We knew our potential was far greater than this. We decided to launch our invasion. We examined our situation. We are a perennial species, relentlessly growing back each year to the lofty height of 48 inches! Our leaves are waxy and green and heart-shaped, clasping the stem. Our yellow flowers are an inch long, not including a wicked halfinch spur. We flower midsummer to fall. We can produce the mighty sum of 500,000 seeds in a season, which will remain viable for 10 years. Few plants can compete with our diabolical prowess. Taking all of this humbly into consideration, we decided to begin our invasion by choking out disturbed pasture and rangeland. We also moved into sparsely vegetated areas, abandoned land, and gravel pits. Our Dalmation toadflax infestation had been going smoothly. We had been established for years, deliberately, ruthlessly, choking out

the native species. We had almost abolished the residences of Slaughterhouse Canyon in Bellevue. We became overconfident, though, and we were reported by an insolent boy in short pants, a citizen of Sun Valley. He called the awful number that strikes fear into the hearts of noxious weeds everywhere: (208) 7885516. This is the number of Bronwyn Nickel, Blaine County weed specialist! The Blaine County Bug Crew came in. They brought hordes and hordes of Mecinus janthiformus, our most formidable nemesis. They placed these bluish-black weevils everywhere in order to ensure that the beasts would find us. The weevils crawl over us and search for the most succulent place to commence their gruesome feast. We quaver. But this is not even the worst stage. In July, Mecinus janthiformus spawn their eggs inside our new shoots. For almost a week we are forced to suffer the ominous knowledge that our doom is growing, developing, scheming inside us. After the week runs out, we feel the horror of watching our friends, families, and lovers succumb to the insidious Mecinus janthiformus larvae as they break free from their hideous capsules. All we can do is behold the agony they suffer, knowing that the same fate is soon to be ours and there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop them. As if sprays weren’t bad enough, they have discovered our natural enemies. Oh, the horror!

White Mule’s Ear (Wyethia helianthoides) BY LESLIE REGO

his past Sunday I drove north, hoping to catch the wildflower, White Mule’s Ear. I was fortunate enough to see quite a few fields full of the flowers, although many are already beyond their prime. That was not a disappointment for me, though, because I really enjoy the flower head in all of its stages. It is lovely when the flower has multitudes of white petals, but equally lovely when it has only a few. And when the flower loses all of its petals, the centers become complex and elegant. So I was quite happy having the complete array of full bloom to seed head. The flower gets its common name from the leaf shape, which resembles a mule’s ear. Wyethia comes from Captain Nathaniel Wyeth, an explorer and fur trader who came upon the flower in 1834. Before his time, the North American Indians were very familiar with the flower and used the roots in a variety of ways. The sunflower-like head is quite large; some are 4 to 5 inches across. The white petals acquire all kinds of formations around the center disc flo-

rets. Some rays extend straight from the center, radiating in an organized fashion. Others twist and turn their way around the center disc. As the flower ages, the petals begin to droop and buckle into interesting shapes. In the late afternoon, when the sun casts its golden light over the meadows, the whites of the flowers shimmer and vibrate over the land. The yellow centers catch the sunlight and glow. Time melted away as I sat and sketched this striking plant. As the sun dipped, the flower heads bobbed gently, stretching their necks toward the last rays of the magical day.

movie review

‘Tomorrowland’ BY JONATHAN KANE

etro sci-fi fantasy should be fun, but after two hours in the disappointing new Disney movie, “Tomorrowland,” confusion reigns and the insipid message that we should all be optimistic dreamers can only go so far and falls flat. But give the director and co-screenwriter Brad Bird, a Pixar veteran, an A for effort; he just fails in the big picture. If you are looking for a great post-apocalyptic fantasy this summer, then rush out and see “Mad Max: Fury Road” and skip this one. That film, with the absolute minimal amount of dialogue, creates a futuristic world bursting with ideas. Sadly, “Tomorrowland” gets lost in its ideas and a coherent picture never comes into focus. It begins in confusion as George Clooney speaks to the camera, telling the story of the future, only to be incessantly interrupted by an annoying voice off-camera. Clooney then disappears for the next hour as we travel back to the 1965 World’s Fair and a young Clooney has invented a jet pack, which he brings to the fair for a contest of inventors. Failing to

June 10, 2015

impress the judge – Hugh Laurie, who later becomes the film’s villain – Clooney does impress his daughter, Raffey Cassidy, who in turn gives him a magical pin that transports him to Tomorrowland, which has a distinctly “Jetsons” feel to things. Cut to the present where a teenager, Britt Robertson, trying to stop NASA from dismantling its towers, also mysteriously receives a pin (we find out later that it is also from Cassidy) that transports her momentarily to Tomorrowland. Soon, she and Cassidy team up with the grumpy adult Clooney in an effort to return to the future and stop the inevitable apocalypse that will doom our planet. At least this is what I think they were doing. The script gets so convoluted at this point that it’s hard to say. Marketed as a kids’ film, I can’t imagine how they could follow the plot. Long on good intent, unfortunately, “Tomorrowland” disappoints.
