Ruth Lieder
Heritage Court Honoree BY DICK DORWORTH
R
uth Lieder was born in 1931 and raised in the suburban township of Monclair, N.J., the second of three children. Hard economic times forced her father to quit school at the age of 14 and go to work, and Ruth describes him as “a very hard worker” who became an electrical contractor, a profession he built into a large, extremely successful business. Ruth’s father was determined that his children would have educational and life experience opportunities not available to him, and so they did. It was a disappointment when Ruth’s elder sister graduated from public high school with high grades and was not accepted into the prestigious Smith College in Northampton, Mass. As a consequence, Ruth was taken out of the public school system and placed in private schools for the last three years of her high school education. The switch worked and she was accepted into Smith, from which she graduated in 1953, including one year of study in Geneva, Switzerland, with a degree in political science. In 1953 the workforce opportunities for a young female with a degree in political science, even if that female was intelligent, attractive and personable, were limited. Lieder went to New York City and landed a job as an office girl with Time Inc. Her salary was $40 a week. Lieder didn’t know how to type, but she learned (sort of) while she sharpened pencils, delivered mail, made friends and connections, and paid attention. A year later, Henry Luce, who owned Time Inc. and was the most powerful person in American media at the time, started Sports Illustrated, a publication viewed by Time Inc. “intellectuals,” according to Luce’s biographer, as “muscle,” “jockstrap” and “sweat socks.” Despite such disdain, Lieder went to work for the new publication and, she says, “Sports Illustrated made my life.”

Lieder, left poses with her father. Courtesy photo.
For nearly 20 years, working directly for SI in marketing and as a journalist, with connections made through SI and with her own business, called “Nothing’s Impossible,” using the skills and connections acquired at SI, Lieder traveled the world, from New York to San Francisco, the 1960 Olympics in Squaw Valley, Calif., and Rome, Hong Kong, Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Tokyo and a couple of trips to Sun Valley, Idaho, where she took ski lessons from Courtney Skinner. In 1971 Lieder was visiting an old school friend, Gail Holmes, whose husband Harry was Sun Valley general manager, when Dorice Taylor, who Ruth considers her “Idaho mother,” resigned after many years as advertising and public relations director of the resort. Lieder took over the job and began her tenure as one of the most influential women in the cultural, political and recreational history of the Wood River Valley, including being mayor of Sun Valley from 1981 to 1994 ~ the first female mayor in Blaine County. On June 14, 2015, Lieder was honored for her contributions to the community by being crowned as a member of the 2015 Blaine County Historical Museum Heritage Court. And next winter she intends to return after a hiatus to ski Baldy, “…just to prove to myself that I can.” tws

The story of 2 best friends
BY MARIA PREKEGES
T
hey say that a dog is man’s best friend, but what about other animals? Do we reserve this saying just for people and dogs? What about people and other people? Or how about the animal-to-animal relationship? Is there a more dramatic relationship between two animals than between two humans? We see dogs playing with dogs, and on rare occasions cats will even be playful with cats. Who knows what the fish in your tank are thinking! With all the friendships in this world, we might all learn from one very special friendship that was right here in our Valley that defines the meaning of friendship ~ and no, it was not two “BFFs” sharing secrets and stories at the local coffee shop. It was a very special bond between two horses that lived the good life just south of Bellevue. An Appaloosa named Hanky Panky and an Arabian named Dancer are the two friends in this story. The man that brought them together, unknowing of the friendship that would develop between them, is
Keith Myers, who has land south of Bellevue. Keith got Hanky Panky in 1980 from Hank’s Happy Appy Farm in Jerome. Hanky Panky was 2 years old when Keith got her and he paid $125 for the horse. Keith’s children’s mare, named Frosty, had Dancer in 1983. Keith explains why he purchased Hanky Panky: “I bought Hanky Panky to take hunting and for pleasure riding.We raised Dancer from a colt and used him for the same reasons. The only work these horses did was take me into the mountains, and they were my friends and pets. There was a large swimming hole at Horse Collar Rock, behind our house, and I would take them for a swim in the summertime.” Perhaps it was at the swimming hole where some of the horse bonding took place. Keith talks about the horses’s friendship: “They were always close from the start. Hanky was the boss and she would make him (Dancer) and the other horses tow the mark. They were always together except when I would take one for a ride. Dancer was fine alone, but Hanky would get worked up if Dancer was gone.”
T h e W e e k ly S u n •

Keith shares another scenario that showed their special connection: “I would feed them, and then they would go stand under their favorite tree facing south in the sun, and Hanky would spend five minutes nipping and pushing Dancer in the right position to block the wind for her. That was their routine until Hanky went blind in one eye, then Dancer became the caregiver. He would guide her and whine for her to follow him.” Perhaps the closeness of their friendship showed most when Hanky unfortunately passed away just a few weeks ago. “After Hanky passed away,” said Keith, “Dancer cried out day

and night for two days. He looked and looked for her. Now he is much more docile and has lost some of his spark.” A sad ending to a wonderful friendship, but Keith did add that although more docile, Dancer continues to be a source of enjoyment for him. Most horses live to be in their mid-20s to 30 years old. Hanky lived to be 35 years old and Dancer is 32. Perhaps the secret to longevity is truly in a best friend, no matter what species you are. tws

Eyewear For The Environment BY P.M. FADDEN
I
daho’s own culturemeets-style brand of casual optics, Proof Eyewear, partners with environmentally conscious entity The Nature Conservancy of Idaho in the collaborative production of a summer-released ocular champion for Mother Nature. Dedicated to dissemination of all conservation awareness issues, The Nature Conservancy of Idaho to date has aided in the protection of nearly 400,000 acres of Idaho lands and currently strives to focus on the state’s aquatic wildlife with a population health project concerning Chinook salmon and steelhead. Proof Eyewear supports said aspirations through the sale of a specially crafted sunglass model, with 100 percent of said sale proceeds being donated to The Nature Conservancy of Idaho. “Nature of Summer,” the collaborative endeavor’s moniker, introduces a polarized, everyday-use sunglass of casual design featuring Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified wood construction and sporting the wood-etched imagery of a salmon silhouette accompanied by the slogan “Get lost in nature and find yourself.” “The core project group was Tanner Dame, Vierra Reid and Lance Williams, from Proof, working alongside Lisa Eller and Megan Grover from TNC,” agreed Proof spokeswoman Vierra Reid and TNC representative Lisa Eller of personnel behind the limited-edition sunglass inception. “We full-heartedly believe in the lasting differences TNC makes to our lands here in Idaho and all around the world,” said Proof Eyewear COO Tanner Dame of the web-retailed “Nature of Summer” sunglasses. “We believe this project will shed light on the importance of conservation efforts to a younger generation,” said Dame. With the stated mission to “conserve the lands and
waters on which all life depends,” The Nature Conservancy is aptly paired with Proof Eyewear, whose tri-pillared principles encompass “heritage, sustainability and giving back.” “Our main objective was just to introduce conservation to younger generations and those interested, but not involved yet in, conservation,” said Reid. “Summer is a time when everyone seems to be getting out in nature a little more ~ going camping, visiting preserves and parks, enjoying our waterways. We thought this season was the perfect time to do this project.” Available for sale to the public since June, Proof Eyewear and The Nature Conservancy of Idaho enticed customers/activists with prize giveaways for significance-of-summer online photo/comment contributions at the company website. “People can purchase online or visit Proof’s flagship store in Boise to purchase the sunglasses,” said Reid of product accessibility to the public. Proof’s people-first product approach grants the company an open palette for positive impact on both community and environment. Like any resource/eco-conscious entity, with regard to aspirations for effectiveness of their efforts, the sky is the limit. “Proof’s team plans to head out to the Owyhees, and possibly Silver Creek, to check out The Nature Conservancy’s restoration and conservation work. The Owyhees is a place that the owners of Proof enjoyed while growing up in Idaho, and it is a place [The Nature] Conservancy has been doing conservation work in for more than a decade. Both groups will be sharing their field experiences online,” said Reid. “We hope to collaborate on a project again sometime in the future.” Find further information on conservation in your area or this collaborative eyewear project at nature.org/idaho50 or iwantproof.com. tws

Bike Festival Returns To Valley BY P.M. FADDEN

upporters of spoke-and-chain shenanigans gather from far and wide for the annual Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival, June 25 through June 28. Now in its fifth year, the Ride Sun Valley Bike Fest delivers an event schedule featuring guided rides, live music, race series, clinics, product demos, expos, kids’ comps, a raffle, bike ‘prom’ and friendly local hospitality at Valley locations lauded for their “small-town charm.” “The festival started as a primarily local event, but has continued to bring bike enthusiasts from across the country to Sun Valley,” said Mountain Sports International Marketing and Communications Director, Jessica Kunzer. “This season organizers anticipate more than 500 event/race participants and more than 3,000 spectators at the event.”
The passion participants share is the special ingredient, which makes the festival so enjoyable and unique. Jessica Kunzer Mountain Sports International BELLEVUE, ID•(208)788-6346

The many ride-centric Valley bike shops are logical/idyllic settings for race-affiliated information and atmosphere, as is the festival’s volunteer army. Ketchum and Hailey permit usage of downtown settings with space reserved for a RSV Expo area, races held on city streets and pump tracks open to festival events. Sun Valley Resort avails its services with events on resort grounds and Baldy’s slopes and at the River Run base area. Additional activity pushes off farther afield within the picturesque Wood River Valley with bike fest marking the second stop along the “Enduro Cup MTB Series” taking place in the Sun Valley backcountry. The all-day festivities commence Thursday, June 25, with the City of Hailey-hosted Sheeptown Drag Races [see side bar]. The following day sees the RSV Expo area open. Occurring there are kit collection/registration, criterium/ team relays, “Local Stoker” rides, mechanical clinics, riders’ meetings, races, awards/raffles and kick-off concerts. Saturday starts day one of “Enduro Cup” action, bike demos, more “Local Stoker” rides, a kids’ MTB race, and evening romance at the bike “prom,” plus a second night’s raffle. The bike fest concludes on Sunday, June 28, with day two of “Enduro Cup” accompanied by continued bike demos and “Local Stoker” rides, cross-country racing, Idaho’s Pump Track State Championship race, a final night raffle and an Enduro awards party. continued, next page

“There is no shortage of activity happening in Sun Valley every summer, but the Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival occurs right before the peak tourism periods,” said Kunzer. “The festival serves to both kick off the summer-at-large and bring visitors to the community at a time when visitation has been comparably low.” “Visit Sun Valley estimated the economic impact of the festival was $3 million, resulting in a 15 percent increase in lodging that weekend over the previous year,” said Kunzer. “The event also generates a significant amount of press coverage for the area with more than 20 million editorial impressions tracked from last year’s event.” “With more than 400 miles of single-track trails in the Sun Valley area, many come to the Wood River Valley for mountain biking. The Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival invites all lovers of life on two-wheels to celebrate the Wood River community and environment,” added Kunzer. “The passion participants share is the special ingredient, which makes the festival so enjoyable and unique.” “First and foremost, the festival must maintain its local sensibility and connection, but a number of enhancements have been made for the 2015 season [cross-country race, women’s and youth clinics and the prom],” said Kunzer. “MSI would like to continue to enhance, grow and add to the festival’s offerings to ultimately make it more of a destination event which would continue to attract more participants from around the country each year.” tws

Where: Main Street, Hailey, with a meet-and-greet/registration beforehand at Hailey’s Power House Pub and Bike Shop. When: Registration at 5 p.m., race prelims from 7:30 p.m., finals from 10 p.m. Why: Because who wouldn’t want to race against man, machine and fire?!

munity is also very honored and excited to have him attend. “His philosophy parallels Pope Francis,” said Patti Reed, “as he is extremely approachable and people can speak to him about anything. We are blessed to have him.” Bishop Christensen is one of eight children and was born in Pasadena, Calif. He worked as a commercial artist prior to entering St. John Vianney College Seminary located at the University of St. Thomas. He also attended St. Paul Seminary for his graduate studies. He was ordained to the priesthood at age 32 on May 25, 1985. He was ordained a bishop on Sept. 14, 2007. On Monday, Oct. 27, 2014, Bishop Christensen received a telephone call from the Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, informing him that His Holiness Pope Francis had chosen him to be the next Bishop of the Diocese of Boise. The official announcement was made on November 4 in Boise and his installation took place on Dec. 17, 2014. Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church wants to stress that everyone in the community is welcome to this great event and that this gala is about coming together as a community.

‘Vanya And Sonia And Masha And Spike’ BY YANNA LANTZ
T
Company of Fools’ crazed comedy
o kick off their thrilling 20th season, Company of Fools will present the Tony Award-winning play Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. Christopher Durang’s black comedy, heralded as “deliriously funny” by The New York Times, explores family dynamics, courage and optimism. The show runs July 1-22 at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. Core Company Artists John Glenn and Denise Simone, both featured in this production, wanted to focus their milestone season around family. Over the past 20 years, the two have seen many changes within the company, but the most prominent change has been the development of a new family. “The amazing family that Company of Fools has been fortunate enough to become a part of, to help build, to embrace – the entire community has been our family,” Glenn beamed. “This play, in a fun, fresh, contemporary, poignant and odd, wacky way, felt perfect to launch
a season built around that center stone.” Durang is one of the bestknown contemporary comedic playwrights. His 2012 work, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, takes character names and some key points from Russian playwright Anton Chekhov’s theatrical arsenal. As he puts it, “My play is not a Chekhov parody... I take Chekhov scenes and characters and put them into a blender.” The plot revolves around the lives of several middle-aged siblings. Gary C. Hopper is directing the production, and the cast is thrilled to be working with such a master. “He’s wild and wonderful,” cast member Jana Arnold said. “Usually, I’ll tell a director that I’ll shoot long and they can pull me back. Well, that doesn’t have to happen in this piece… we have fun. A lot of fun.” Hopper sees the production as a larger metaphor for navigating life. “In act two, almost all the characters are sitting around in their pajamas,” he explained. “That is the story
of their life. I think the heart of the play is: if you want to experience life, you have to get out of your pajamas, make a choice about something and have the courage to see where it takes you.” Glenn sees ties between the message of the play and the founding of Company of Fools. “A couple of people got out of their pajamas and really took a big change by driving across the country in a U-Haul, and, we had an impact.” Maggie Horan and Max Ehrlich will make their Fools debut with this project. Horan plays the brighteyed ingénue, Nina, who is the embodiment of hope for many of the other idiosyncratic characters. “From the first time I read the play, I knew I had to play this character,” she said. “I identify with her so much.” This will be Ehrlich’s first professional production outside of college. The recent Virginia Commonwealth University graduate hopes that this play will not only have the audience rolling on the floor, but also “allow

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR JUne 24 FRom picabo angleR
A great week is ahead of us as we experience a plethora of water opening up and becoming fishable for the first time this season. The Brown Drakes have been officially replaced by the Green Drakes, and the Greens can be found on The Nature Conservancy portion of Silver Creek, the lower reaches of the Big Wood and the upper Big Lost River. The Green Drake on Silver Creek is a bright-colored bug, so have something to match it that isn’t the dull green colors we would use on the Big Wood and Big Lost rivers. We have Drakes for all the rivers and have a lot of the Colorado Green Drake that works magic on the Wood now and again when the Western Red Quills arrive in the fall. This fly matches both hatches wonderfully. Silver Creek continues to percolate with Baetis, PMD and a lot of Callibaetis. Despite having excellent hatches and spinner falls, the timing of these events has been the hardest part of fishing. Anglers willing to stay from 7 a.m. until total darkness will find great fishing at multiple points during these hours, but whether the best fishing is morning, noon or night is anyone’s guess. Anglers willing to stay until dark will find that we are having one heck of a good mouse fishing year! The Big Wood and upper Lost will fish this week, but, like we keep saying ~ please leave your dogs at home right now. There is too much volume in the river for our fourlegged friends to fight. Please wear a wading belt or, better yet, wet wade. Fish with a friend. Use a wading staff. Be careful out there! Beyond the Green Drakes, plan on seeing a lot of Stoneflies and Salmon Flies in the coming weeks. Stimulators in a variety of sizes and colors are a must-have. They are also great flies to use when fishing a dropper. Droppers can be simple Beadhead Prince Nymphs and Hare’s Ears. The South Fork of the Boise should start producing Salmon Flies this week, if it hasn’t already. The Caddis activity should also be ramping up. If you have the itch to fish from a driftboat, look no further. Our other driftboat river, the Salmon, is also fishing well and getting better by the day. Big dries and droppers are all you need up here. If you go to either river, boat safely and enjoy all the sights and sounds that come with these wonderful day trips through Idaho canyons. Happy Fishing Everyone!

Drift Miners BY TONY TAYLOR
A
drift tunnel is a horizontal passageway that follows the valuable ore-bearing vein. The drift tunnel may or may not intersect the ground surface but is especially suited for a primary access to the mine. This is called drift/slope mining and excavation will terminate below the ore-bearing material to exploit gravity in the removal and transport of ore for the next process. Most drift miners did it all… they were hydrologists, carpenters, electricians, mechanics, geologists and philosophers all wrapped in a pair of greasy Carhartts. They fashioned systems for haulage, ventilation and exploration inside the mine and devised large underground chambers to stash specialized tools and machinery. The most powerful tools for the drifters included a compass and chain, an altimeter, a plumb bob, a transit and an uncanny dialogue with limestone and granite. Most could drive a horizontal drill through 20 meters of “hardrock” and hit a dime on the other side.
The risk of life was just something that was accepted. ~ early drift miner (1884) Drift miners always had a “pardner” ~ someone with similar job skills that shared “minerly” respect for the dangers of the task. They seldom drew wages, preferring higher pay as a “gypo” (private contractor). These vocational relationships usually lasted for the duration of the miner’s working life… sometimes cut short by catastrophe. As the mine shafts go deeper, ventilation becomes more critical and affects everyone in the tunnel/drift complex… especially the noxious smoke after a major dynamite blast. Ventilation is a significant safety concern and, as the shaft gets deeper, the whole extraction process becomes more dangerous and and less cost effective. A North Idaho man who was trapped 6,000 feet underground in one of the worst mine disasters in the U.S. said, “After eight days, the key to survival in a mine is fresh air.” Even though safety remains the highest priority in all projects, mining remains one of the most dangerous occupations in the world! China loses 5,000 coal miners a year. Some people in the industry claim it’s more like 20,000. In 1942 China broke a world record ~ 1,549 died in one day in an underground fire. The Sunshine mine disaster in Kellogg, Idaho, on May 2, 1972, is an example of an industrial accident and the social implications that develop from it; 173 men were trapped and 91 survived. Of the 91 survivors, all but a handful were working back in the mines by the first snowfall. tws 12

‘Public Shame’ Is Sad Rhetoric BY BRENNAN REGO
M
odern media sources shouldn’t bully community members through threats of “public shame.” Current news services—especially local ones—should function as forums for the productive exchange of facts, ideas and information for the greater good. They should not behave as bullies or encourage bullying behavior in their communities. Editorially, they should provide solutions to local issues rather than simply relying on problem-based rants and negative rhetoric. And, the solutions they provide should be better in every conceivable way than “public shame.” Last Wednesday, the Idaho Mountain Express in Ketchum published an editorial titled “Shame could control guns better than new laws” (to read the opinion piece, visit www.tinyurl.com/ tws-shame). The editorial encouraged the tactic of publicly shaming those who “pack guns everywhere and all the time” and argued that such an approach might be more effective than stricter gun laws. The result of the editorial? On Saturday morning, about three
dozen simultaneously law-abiding and gun-toting representatives of 3% of Idaho (a statewide organization whose motto is “when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty”) staged a demonstration at the Mountain Express office. “We didn’t think shaming law-abiding citizens is very cool,” said 3% of Idaho Vice President Eric Parker, also a Hailey resident, in an interview after the protest. “What we wanted to accomplish was to stand up and say we’re not going to be shamed for exercising our Second Amendment rights. We just wanted to have a demonstration.” Parker said he thought the protest “went great” and that the socalled “three percenters” had quite a bit of positive response. “People were honking, waving, lots of thumbs up,” he said. “I was impressed. We only had one person in opposition, a little counter-protest. We treated him with respect, let him make his point, then continued on. Two of our members spoke in response to the editorial, then we had a parade back to our vehicles.” Parker said 3% of Idaho is a pro-constitution organization more than it is a pro-gun organization.
“We’re pro Bill of Rights,” he said. “In doing that, we also work with our members to make sure everyone is working on personal sustainability and self-defense skills. We offer classes to our members for free.” Regardless of how we each personally feel about gun legislation or any other issue, I think we can and should agree as a community that we will not stoop to the method of public shame as the best possible solution to our problems or disagreements. We as both human beings and Wood River Valley community members are simply better than that. Let’s openly and respectfully discuss our viewpoints as adults. In that spirit, The Weekly Sun invites letters to the editor on the topics of both gun control and responsible local media to be published in next week’s issue. Send letters to brennan@theweeklysun. com by 5 p.m. on Friday for publication consideration. Rants will not be published, regardless of their viewpoint. Constructive ideas, perspectives and opinions will. Campfire Watch is The Weekly Sun’s editorial voice by Publisher & Editor Brennan Rego.

Nature
BY HENRY DAVID THOREAU
O Nature! I do not aspire To be the highest in thy choir, To be a meteor in thy sky, Or comet that may range on high; Only a zephyr that may blow Among the reeds by the river low; Give me thy most privy place Where to run my airy race.
In some withdrawn, unpublic mead Let me sigh upon a reed, Or in the woods, with leafy din, Whisper the still evening in: Some still work give me to do, Only - be it near to you!
For I’d rather be thy child And pupil, in the forest wild, Than be the king of men elsewhere, And most sovereign slave of care; To have one moment of thy dawn, Than share the city’s year forlorn.

Wild Ruminations BY DICK DORWORTH
A
n old friend who is a longtime falconer recently wrote: “High in the consciousness of falconers that I would choose to keep company with is the knowledge that one does not ‘train’ a raptor. A captive-bred raptor is assisted to become self-realized; a wild-trapped raptor (such as I work with) is exposed to our learned ability to conduct ourselves in such a manner as to encourage them to believe in themselves, yet also believe that it is in their best interest to remain in our company. Either way… they are already perfect… we are the ones who must become worthy of their partnership. With few exceptions, the great falconry works allude to the value of applying the lessons we learn from our exposure to the wild creatures to our entire lives.” One does not train a raptor, tame wilderness, conquer seas and mountains, or control the forces of nature, but the lessons we can learn from exposure to them are invaluable. We need the wild. We need the wild creatures. We need the lessons they can teach us and, more than at any time in our history, we must become worthy of their partnership. Right now, every week more than 150,000 acres of the Earth’s forests are leveled, 70,000 acres are turned to desert and 127 species become extinct. Week after week after week, a litany of abuses of the planet and all that Dick Dorworth is a Blaine lives upon it continues, County resident, author driven by a disregard of and former world record the value of partnership holder for speed on skis. with the wild. Visit his website and blog That is, we need at dickdorworth.com. the wild. Those whose thinking and emotions are bound up in the dogmas and delusions of anthropomorphism, who view themselves as masters rather than members of the natural order, are unaware of that need. The wild, however, does not need us (humanity) and at an exponential rate is exhibiting signs that it is growing weary of and responding to our presence. In this regard, it is worth noting that Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, the first primates showed up about 6 million years ago and the first Homo sapiens evolved from them and were in evidence about 2 million years ago. What we now consider humanity began to survive and thrive about 200,000 years ago. Human civilization is about 6,000 years old and industrialization is about 300 years old. Two thousand years ago the human population of Earth was around 300 million. Since 1950, the human population has grown from 2.5 billion to 7 billion and is growing exponentially. Global warming is just one of many signs of the wild’s weariness with its human partners and, as Pope Francis recently wrote with great (and wild) cognition, courage and compassion: “Numerous scientific studies indicate that the greater part of the global warming in recent decades is due to the great concentration of greenhouse gases… given off, above all, because of human activity... The attitudes that stand in the way of a solution, even among believers, range from negation of the problem, to indifference, to convenient resignation or blind faith in technical solutions.” We need the wild. Neither the wild nor humanity tws needs blind faith, indifference or resignation.

allie MacPherson, a Wood River High School senior with a 3.8 grade point average and member of National Honor Society, moved to the Wood River Valley from Seattle in fifth grade. “My family had a condo here since I was born and my mom and I decided to move here,” said MacPherson. “I like Seattle, but here I feel more open physically and I became a lot more independent, which was a positive change. For one thing, I couldn’t drive everywhere, so I started to take the bus. Also, I like that I know a lot of people here, but I try not to get into any dramas. I have also had a lot of connections here that have really led to things.” As to her favorite Valley activities, MacPherson said, “I love to go north and go to all the lakes. While there, I bike, run and explore things with my photography. I’m expecting to do a lot of that this summer.” MacPherson’s future plans are to probably go to college in a city like Seattle, “but, in the end, reside in a more rural place, like Sun Valley, because I love it. While I’m here, though, I really like Wood River High School. It’s given me a lot of opportunities and the teachers are great. It’s such a small town that they care about what you do outside of school and they are very supportive. The best thing is that they have been behind me and are there for me as I pursue projects that are meaningful to me.” MacPherson’s passion in life is photography, which she started five years ago. “I took a yearbook class and I started taking pictures for it,” she said. “I made my dad buy a camera for himself and then I started using it. I found that it inspired me and I really got interested in it. “In the beginning, I took photos of random stuff and I was really bad, but that was the learning process. Now I take pictures of people in pretty locations. One of my favorite shoots was when I hiked up Dollar Mountain with two friends at sunset. It was cloudy on one side and a beautiful sunset on the other. It was classic Sun Valley and I took pictures of both of them. One of the models wore a really pretty dress that moved with the wind and we were looking at the sunset with dark clouds in the background.” MacPherson considers her work to be more editorial, or what you might see in magazines selling products. “My favorite thing to do is photographing people,” MacPherson said. “They are always different and I like to make them look beautiful and happy. Local photographers Hillary Maybery and Caroline Woodham have given me a lot of opportunities and ways into the business. What they have taught me is how important it is to make people feel comfortable and to capture more of the moment and not just the pose.” tws

H
ave you ever been concerned that your pesticides will damage the environment? Do you suffer the conundrum: to spray, or be overwhelmed by weeds? The Blaine County Bug Crew and the United States Department of Agriculture have been working to provide a solution to this dilemma. There are bug species that eat noxious weeds. The Bug Crew uses these bugs to help combat invasive plant species. Each species of insect used by the Blaine County Bug Crew has evolved to target a specific noxious weed. Each bug and its target weed are known as a system. The bugs can only operate within their system. They will die without their noxious weed food source. Bug Crew insects will starve and die rather than eat anything but their designated noxious species. Your crops, flowers, and various houseplants are completely safe from our bugs. Each species of insect is tested and observed in a lab for a minimum 10 years to make sure the bugs will not harm the environment. Once the bugs are deemed suitable, they will be released in areas with known noxious weed populations. Once the bugs are released, they will start feeding on the noxious weeds. This will
not actually harm the plant all that much. The plant will get damaged when the bugs lay eggs inside the plant and the larva hatch. The larva will eat the inside of the stems and roots, impairing the weed’s ability to transfer nutrients and water. The activity of some larva stimulates the plant to create a gall, which will take nutrients away from the rest of the plant, starving the seed head. This will severely diminish the seeds’ viability. Some species of bug will eat the seed head itself, also decreasing seed viability. This process is extremely effective and successful, but it doesn’t happen overnight. The process of extinguishing the pesky plant species typically takes about 3 years for the bugs to get established. In year 5, the weeds will suffer a crash. During this time, the weed population will severely decrease. Our biocontrol program works best in areas that are free from grazing, sprays, cultivation, or other similar major disturbances. Above all, biocontrol requires patience. Weeds did not take over Idaho over night, and they will not be controlled in a short time. This solution takes time, but it is sustainable. Once a bug population is established, it will require no additional
work. Many people are frustrated after battling weeds for ten or even twenty years. Sprays seem to offer a quick solution. Within hours of being sprayed, weeds wilt and die. The unseen consequence of this practice lies in the seed bed. When one weed is taken care of, millions of seeds that have lain dormant for years in the soil, now take advantage of this new space left open by the previous noxious weed. It is a bitter cycle that many land managers see played out every year on their property. It is essential that native plants or cultivated crops take up this new space before the noxious weeds in the seedbed start a new outbreak. Many noxious weed species have seeds that can remain dormant for twenty and even thirty years and remain viable if given the right conditions to sprout. If you have questions or want to know more about biocontrol options please call Bronwyn Nickel at the Blaine County Weed Department (208-788-5516) or Eric McHan with the Blaine Bug Crew (208-316-0355).
movie review
‘Jurassic World’ Dino Madness
BY JONATHAN KANE
M
uch to my amazement, the new summer blockbuster “Jurassic World” rocks. It’s a thrilling, edge-of-your seat, CGI-madness nail-biter that deservedly opened to the largest gross in movie history. Of course, some of that credit goes to Steven Spielberg as executive producer and also undisputed king of making money in Hollywood. But a lot of the credit goes to his practically unknown protégé, Colin Trevorrow, who directed the epic as well as co-wrote the script. Of course, too, there are the obligatory Spielbergian notes ~ two kids in danger as well as many witty references to the original “Jurassic Park,” which amazed the movie-going public in 1993. In this movie, Trevorrow hits all the right notes with plenty of action thrown in and enough subtext to keep things interesting. But as I tightly gripped the armrests through much of the movie, it was its daring-do filmmaking that
T h e W e e k ly S u n •
carried the day. It’s now 22 years since the original Jurassic Park met its demise and now Jurassic World is a thriving theme park servicing 20,000 people a day. Unthinkable attractions abound, like the aquatic Mosqsaures giant that easily devours a great white shark for a snack. Yet, the public is bored and craves something more spectacular, with more teeth to satiate that craving, much to the chagrin of park director, Bryce Dallas Howard, who is consumed with crunching numbers. So the scientists cook up the über-dinosaur ~ a 50-foot-tall intelligent terror, Indominus rex, genetically engineered from a number of beasts to be the most vicious of them all, and so scary that, upon introduction, we learn that it has killed and eaten its sibling. Of course, the rex escapes her pen and goes on a killing spree of everything in its path. To the rescue comes Chris Pratt, a Velociraptor whisperer, and, of course, the obligatory romance between him

and Howard. Sure, the characters aren’t deep and the performances are irrelevant because the dino action is supreme. This summer, in the blockbuster category, Jurassic World and Mad Max stand head and shoulders above the rest. tws

Parade Grand Marshals: Jane And Ken Drussel
w Ne
Does your special vehicle need some work?
BY MIKE MCKENNA
W
hile Hailey, Idaho, has been home to many famous names over the years—Bruce, Demi, Ezra, and Ridley, to mention a few—the most well-known name in town is actually Jane. Since 1985, Jane’s has been a staple on Main Street. The only fully stocked art and office supply store in the Wood River Valley did switch owners for a few years, but whether it has been called Jane’s Paper Place or Jane’s Artifacts, it’s really always been about its namesake. That’s one of the big reasons why the Hailey Chamber of Commerce was proud to select Jane and her husband Ken as the grand marshals of this year’s Days of the Old West Fourth of July Parade. Jane Drussel first moved to Hailey in 1972. Born and raised in the Sooner State, Jane quickly fell in love with our small Idaho town. “I’m from a small town in Oklahoma. I don’t like cities. Hailey is a small community with a lot of heart. It’s got a very hometowny feel. It’s apple pie and all-American,” Jane said. Jane and Ken met in 1977 at the only place you could meet people back in the `70s, as Jane joked ~ at a bar. And Ken’s family roots in the region run as deep as the Big Wood River during spring runoff. The Drussels are perhaps best known for raising and driving the draft horses for Sun Valley Resort and its famous sleigh rides. Jane and Ken raised four boys together, Jay, Joe, David and Michael, and are now proud grandparents to six kids. “Hailey is a great place to raise kids,” Jane said. “Everybody knows everybody and most people who live here participate in the community.” Jane—and her business—has always been very active within the community. Jane has been president of the Hailey Chamber and served on its board for a half-dozen years, including playing a big roll in the town’s extremely popular annual Independence Day

parade. While she’s seen a bit of change over her 30 years as a local business owner, Jane said that right now is about the most robust and healthy she’s ever seen her beloved Hailey. “I think the merchants here have a done a great job,” Jane said about the unique challenges of running a local business just down the road from America’s original ski resort. “We have our own uniqueness here in Hailey, which we didn’t used to have, and it’s appealing to more and more people. They don’t just drive through anymore to go to Ketchum. More and more people are stopping here. We definitely have more tourists in our store than we ever used to,” she said. As for being asked to be the grand marshal in a parade she’s spent so many years helping to put together, Jane shed some tears. “I cried when I was asked. I was really surprised. It’s quite an honor,” she said, explaining that she’s looking forward to being in the parade this year instead of helping to run it. “Usually we’re up to our ears in alligators. This time all we have to do is just enjoy it.”

Fingers Of Dawn
THANK YOU generous sponsors and volunteers.
By Leslie Rego,
C
aught with a summer cold this past week, I found myself unable to sleep and up at odd hours in the wee hours of the morning, working on my art. I was able to watch the night slowly turn into day. As I plugged away on a particularly daunting piece, I found actual peace from the soft gentle light of the early morning. I stopped what I was doing and picked up my pencil and watercolors and began to paint the dawn light. I had to work quickly because the light was constantly changing. As I painted, I realized these are the longest days of the year, and my thoughts drifted toward summer light. I have often heard the expression “fingers of dawn.” It comes from Eos, the Ancient Greek rosy-fingered goddess of the dawn. Generally, the term refers to the pink-colored streaks of the dawn sun across the sky, but this morning, as I watched the sun rise over the mountain

top, I watched those fingers come up and over the ridgeline and extend downward, bathing the east-facing slopes in sunlight and leaving the west-facing slopes in shadow. Those fingers of dawn delineated the mountain, leaving areas in shadow, before the full frontal attack of the sun flattened everything. The light was gentle, with no harsh intersections between plant and land. The tree shadows were a soft dark. The greens on the
mountain slopes were understated. The mellow light brought life to subtle details. In the early hours, the sun’s angle to the earth’s surface is small, which allows the sunlight to flow over the land in a way that picks out certain features and heightens them. Daybreak and summer light are perfect companions. The days are long, the light is abundant and the early mornings are the ideal time to enjoy both.

Dulce De Leche BY ANA MARIA CUNEO (Por Ana María Cuneo)

Dogs And Fireworks BY FRAN JEWELL
I
t’s that time of year again when our freedom will be celebrated with fireworks! Stands will abound all over the Valley. If you have a dog that is terrified of fireworks, this time might be more stressful for you than any other time of the year. This year, with the incredible growth of extremely flammable weeds, the fireworks can cause additional stress for you because you are not only concerned for your dog, but you also feel fearful for your own safety. When we are stressed, our dogs will sense that fear and stress right along with their own. Now the problem has even intensified from the usual Fourth of July celebrations. Particularly at risk are dogs that have not had a lot of socialization as youngsters, but may also be genetically fearful. Older dogs can have fearful behaviors that they never exhibited as younger dogs. When their hearing begins to fail, the sound has now become unfamiliar. And if you have a puppy, it is especially something for you to pay attention to so that your pup grows up not fearing this type of celebration. Unless your dog has experienced fireworks in the past, and you are sure they are not bothered by them, helping your dog now, a few weeks before the holiday, is imperative. There are basically three things you can do. The first ~ and this is especially helpful with puppies ~ is desensitization. That means exposing your puppy GRADUALLY to loud noises like recorded CDs, pots and pans, etc., while you associate the event with something wonderful, like a bone or Kong toy stuffed with something wonderful to eat ~ maybe even cooked steak! Each night give your dog a Kong stuffed with her dinner while you expose her to different noises, starting with a lower level volume. Each night increase the volume just slightly while she eats her wonderful dinner. Be creative about what you stuff the Kong with and slow about increasing the volume. The second thing you can do is to manage your dog by taking her away, perhaps camping or out of town. Think about somewhere she loves to go. Maybe go visit a friend that lives in the country. Sometimes even taking her for a ride in the car during the most active fireworks period is successful, especially if she likes to go for rides. You might even consider asking your neighbors what their fireworks schedule is so that you know when to leave or go for that ride in the car. You might find a quiet room in your house in the basement. Add some music or television to help mask the sound. “Thundershirts” can be very effective, in conjunction. And, lastly, you can seek the help of your veterinarian for medication. Many times there simply is no other solution because your dog is so terrified. Your veterinarian can recommend the medication most suited for your dog. The key, however, is to plan ahead. Talk to your veterinarian now. Start your desensitizing program now. Or plan your get away with your dog(s) now. Make sure you have all your bases covered before you see the fireworks stands popping up along Main Street. Even though the law is very specific about when fireworks can be discharged, it doesn’t always mean neighbors comply. Make this year the easiest year for your dog yet! If you need more ideas, seek professional help from a certified dog behavior consultant or your veterinarian.

ulce de leche is ubiquitous in Latino America. In some countries it is part of the daily breakfast and a favorite snack among children of all ages. Lately, the product has gained some popularity in the United States, making it easier to find. Many people get confused and think dulce de leche is caramel, but they are two different products. Caramel is simply heated sugar, but dulce de leche is a creamy confection made with milk, sugar, vanilla and a pinch of baking soda. Cajeta, popular in Mexico, is a dulce de leche that is made with goat’s milk. In Puerto Rico, it is made with coconut milk, and in the Dominican Republic, with a hint of cinnamon. Argentina claims to be the cradle of dulce de leche and the government recently declared it part of its cultural patrimony, causing the anger of other nations with similar claims. Nonetheless, The Oxford English Dictionary describes dulce de leche as “a traditional Argentinian dessert” and, ratifying that statement, an Argentine dairy factory was first to manufacture it commercially in 1908. There are many legends about the origins of dulce de leche. The story I like best says that in 1829, in the Argentine rural town of Cañuelas, a maid was heating up lechada – a mixture of milk and sugar to serve with tea – when she heard someone knocking. She went to answer the door, leaving the lechada on the stove and, as luck would have it, she was detained for a long time. When she got back, the lechada had turned into dulce de leche. Dulce de leche is used as a filling for pastries and cakes; can be drizzled over ice cream or fruit, and can form the bases for candy, ice cream or yogurt. It can also be slathered onto crepes, pancakes, crackers, bread or toast. Personally, I like it by the spoonful, straight from the jar!
STUDENT’S CORNER
The “n” in Cañuelas and the second “n” in niños (in the Spanish version) both carry a symbol on top of the letter. It is called a “tilde.” When the tilde is used over the “n” it acquires a nasal sound and forms another letter for the Spanish alphabet. The letter “ñ,” called “eñe,” is found in Spanish dictionaries between the letters “n” and “o.”
El dulce de leche es ubicuo en toda Latino América. En algunos países es parte del desayuno diario, además de ser una merienda favorita para niños de todas las edades. Últimamente el dulce de leche está logrando algo de popularidad en los Estados Unidos, lo que lo hace más fácil de encontrar. Muchos se confunden y piensan que el dulce de leche es caramelo, pero son dos productos diferentes. El caramelo es simplemente azúcar calentada; pero el dulce de leche es una confitura cremosa hecha a base de leche, azúcar, vainilla y una pizca de bicarbonato de soda. Cajeta, un dulce de leche popular en México, está elaborado con leche de cabra. En Puerto Rico lo hacen con leche de coco y en la República Dominicana con un toque de canela. Argentina afirma ser la cuna del dulce de leche. En efecto, el gobierno lo ha declarado parte del patrimonio nacional, causando la ira de otras naciones que reclaman lo mismo. Sin embargo, el diccionario de Oxford describe al dulce de leche como “un postre tradicional argentino” y, ratificando esa declaración, una fábrica argentina de productos lácteos fue la primera en elaborarlo comercialmente en 1908. Hay muchas leyendas sobre los orígenes del dulce de leche. La historia que me gusta más cuenta que en 1829, en el pueblo argentino de Cañuelas, una mucama estaba calentando lechada – una mezcla de leche y azúcar para servir con té - cuando escuchó alguien llamando. Fue a abrir la puerta, dejando la lechada sobre el fuego, y se dio la suerte que se mantuvo ocupada por mucho tiempo. Cuando regresó, la lechada se había convertido en dulce de leche. El dulce de leche se usa como relleno para pasteles y tortas, sobre helados o fruta, o como base para dulces, helados o yogures. También puede untarse en crepés, panqueques, galletas, pan o tostadas. Personalmente, me gusta comerlo a cucharadas, directamente del tarro.
RINCON DEL ESTUDIANTE
La “n” en Cañuelas y la segunda “n” en niños ambas llevan un símbolo sobre la letra. Este símbolo se llama “tilde”. Cuando la tilde se usa sobre la “n” adquiere un sonido nasal y forma otra letra del alfabeto español. La letra “ñ,” llamada eñe, se encuentra en los diccionarios españoles entre las letras “n” y “o”.

Summer Solstice Marker In Custer County on Sunday, June 21 (the Summer Solstice), at about 5:30 p.m., I watched this point of sunlight move up toward the wedge-shaped stone marker shown above. The sun’s photons came within 5 inches of touching the stone’s point. In the area, I saw about 20 other stones that seemed to have been shaped by the hands of ancient Idaho people. I believe this site was designed by possible sun-wor
shiping mystics as a stone-paged book, written in an enduring language to be read and interpreted for millenia. Perhaps an earthquake is to blame for the 5-inch gap between sun and stone. SteveSnyderPhotos@gmail.com • 208-948-0011 • © 2015

Energy Conservation And Generation On The Farm BY MIKE MORRIS, DIANA FRIEDMAN AND MICHAEL BOMFORD
I
n the last few years, interest in alternative energy and energy conservation has skyrocketed due to unstable fuel prices and the desire to move toward renewable and sustainable energy sources. At the same time, technologies to conserve energy as well as convert feedstocks to biodiesel and ethanol have improved significantly. Across America, farms are generating their own energy using wind turbines, solar panels, or anaerobic digesters, with some selling the excess electricity back to the grid. Other producers are experimenting with on-farm biodiesel and ethanol production, or researching new energy-related crops and business opportunities in anticipation of developing cellulosic biofuel technology and markets. Farm energy can generally be divided into: Energy conservation and efficiency Renewable energy
Energy Conservation and Efficiency Conserving energy and improving energy efficiency is not only good for the environment ~ it reduces dependence on fossil fuels and curbs greenhouse gas emissions ~ but also for the pocketbook, saving farmers money. Fifteen percent of agricultural production costs are energy related, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and as energy prices rise, these costs claim an ever bigger portion of farm budgets. The quickest, cheapest and cleanest way to lower these costs, as well as cut nonrenewable energy consumption, is by improving energy efficiency. Many farms have captured energy savings by improving tractor and field operation efficiency, improving machinery maintenance, updating to new dairy cooling or heating equipment, and using high-efficiency motors, fans and/or lighting. Renewable Energy Renewable energy is energy that is generated from natural resources, including sunlight, wind,
rain, geothermal, and biomass, and that can be replenished at the same rate as it is used. Renewable energy resources vary widely by region. For example, the states in the Midwest have excellent wind potential. Although solar projects are viable in all parts of the United States, the South and West have outstanding solar radiation. The same holds for biofuel production: oilseed crops for biodiesel show excellent promise in the Pacific Northwest and Northeastern states, while switchgrass, a high-yielding and relatively easy-to-grow crop and promising cellulosic feedstock, appears well suited to the South and Midwest. Farmers can generate extra income by producing renewable energy to contribute to the grid. Farmers can also develop renewable energy for their own use, installing small-scale solar or wind systems or growing and converting biofuel crops for their own farming operations. These projects not only save on fuel and utility costs but improve self-sufficiency and protect farms from fluctuating oil and diesel prices.
