BY TERRY SMITH

yringa Mountain School, Blaine County’s only state-funded charter school, begins its second year of operation still an orphan, as yet unadoptable by the Blaine County School District. Belonging to the school district is not legally required, but a request to consider the possibility was put to the district board of trustees in late 2014 by Syringa’s Board Chair Greg Bloomfield, who cited a differential in funding as Syringa’s main reason for the request. Currently, Syringa Mountain School, which does not charge tuition, is able to spend about $6,500 per student, with about $4,500 of that coming from the state of Idaho and making up the balance through fundraising, donations and occasional grants. The school district, on the other hand, spends about $16,500 per student, with the same $4,500 per student being funded by the state but with the difference being made up primarily by property tax assessments, something that charter schools, by law in Idaho, are not allowed to receive. “What our legislators failed to do years ago was ensure equitable funding for these cutting-edge endeavors,” Bloomfield said in an address to the school board in December of 2014, referring to the fact that charter schools typically provide different teaching methodologies than those employed by conventional school districts. Bloomfield’s reference to “what our legislators failed to do years ago” regards legislation approved in 1998 that authorized the founding of state-funded charter schools but did not provide for charter schools to be able to collect property taxes. Following Bloomfield’s request, the school board responded that it would consider the matter in development of a new strategic plan, a process that was started in January of this year. The district’s new strategic plan was finished this sum-

mer, but contains no language regarding adoption of charter schools into the district. Nonetheless, the proposal for adoption is not necessarily dead. “We are in conversation with the school district about our developing relationship, but nothing has been decided yet,” Svea Grover, Syringa’s operations director, told The Weekly Sun on Monday. District Superintendent GwenCarol Holmes told The Weekly Sun on Tuesday that the district has requested additional information from Syringa that it has not yet received. Without that information, the district is unable to consider the financial implications of adopting Syringa into the district.

“We are in conversation with the school district about our developing relationship, but nothing has been decided yet.” Svea Grover Syringa Mountain School New school year Syringa Mountain School started its second school year on Tuesday with a budget of about $1 million and a student population of 145 – up 15 students from its starting enrollment last year of 130. The school, which started with grades K-5, added a sixth grade this year. As part of its long-range plan, Syringa intends to add a seventh grade next year and an eighth grade the following year. The school also starts the new year with new leadership, with three different positions serving as a leadership team. Grover became Syringa’s operations director recently, and Mende Coblentz is now education director, while Helene Mengert is the school’s development director. Mary Gervase, one of the school founders who worked part time last year as school di-

rector, has now “decided to take a step back from full-time employment,” Grover said. “She is enjoying some very well-deserved time with her husband and will offer her considerable experience and wisdom through working part time as a consultant,” Grover said. “We cannot truly express our gratitude for the enormity of the task Dr. Gervase took on in bringing SMS to this point,” Grover said. “We will be eternally grateful for her unwavering optimism, professionalism, determination and hard work over these past years.” Gervase took the lead for a parents’ group in making Syringa Mountain School a reality, with work starting in 2012 and culminating in 2013 with approval to form the school from the State Charter School Commission. The school, located in south Hailey, uses the Waldorf teaching methodology, which Syringa describes as educating the whole child through traditional studies, arts, sustainable living, experiential learning and minimization of technology. The school’s board of directors include Bloomfield, Phoebe Pilaro, Ben Rogers and Bobbi Filbert, who is parent council representative. New member Randy Flood will join the board later this month. tws

Travis Bruner balances nature, music, the outdoors, advocacy and family.

TRAVIS BRUNER

Musician, Outdoorsman and Executive Director of Western Watersheds Project BY DICK DORWORTH

s executive director of the Hailey-based conservation organization Western Watersheds Project, Travis Bruner is dedicated to protecting the environment. But that’s only part of his persona. He’s also an accomplished musician, an attorney, an outdoorsman and a family man. Bruner has been working for WWP, a nonprofit environmental organization with 1,500 members, for two years. Last year he took over as executive director when WWP founder Jon Marvel retired. Bruner said his background makes him particularly suited to working for WWP and to helping further the organization’s mission to “protect and restore western watersheds and wildlife through education, public policy and legal advocacy” and to “influence and improve public lands management throughout the West with a primary focus on the negative impacts of livestock grazing on 250 million acres of western public lands.” Bruner said the livestock grazing issue is a complex subject and that it takes intelligence, research, training, a lot of time outdoors and a thick skin to keep it in focus. “Throughout my life as a hiker, camper, fly-fisherman and upland bird hunter, I have been haunted by the environmental impacts of grazing,” he said. “No other harmful use of the public lands is more pervasive or under-addressed. From an acreage perspective, grazing overshadows all other uses of the western public lands, by a long shot.” Born and raised in Bozeman, Mont., 36-year-old Bruner said he was immersed in the outdoor life from childhood by his fa

ther, who worked as a traveling salesman and fishing guide for world-famous Dan Bailey Fly Fishing in Livingston, Mont. As a boy, Bruner fished, hunted birds, hiked, camped and skied at nearby Bridger Bowl. He began playing guitar at the age of 9 and he studied hard at school. This wide range of interests—physical, natural, intellectual, artistic and cultural— Bruner says, has allowed him to maintain a balance in life, from boyhood to manhood. After graduating from high school, Bruner attended Tufts University in Medford/Somerville, Mass., where he studied music and international relations. After graduating, he worked for a nonprofit and at a public school, jobs that Bruner says were within the accord of his commitment “to work that improves the world,” and that he says “sufficiently paid the rent and supported my habits outside work—playing music and spending time outdoors.” He later attended law school at the University of Colorado and developed a vision of what he wanted to do with his education. Specifically, he said he decided to use his law degree to eliminate grazing from public lands. With that commitment in hand, Bruner has found a home at WWP. Bruner lives in Hailey with his wife Courtney and their two dogs, Hawk and Raji. He continues to play music with a couple of local bands and he has produced three music CDs: solo classical guitar, string quartet compositions and a country album. He also finds time to hike, hunt game birds, fish and camp. Bruner said he is also looking forward to Nordic skiing this winter. tws

he Wood River Valley has thus far been spared any major wildfires this year, but local fire experts caution that the fire season is still not over and remind people to be watchful and diligent as the Wood River Valley is likely to experience more warm and dry days into fall. The fire danger in our area is always present,” said Craig Aberbach, Hailey fire chief and assistant fire chief of Wood River Fire and & Rescue. “Of course, the dryer it is, the quicker fires may spread. The longer we go without higher humidity, the more the fire danger will rise. “Even though much of the heavy fuels have been cleared, our fire danger is still pretty high,” Aberbach said. “Residents need to evaluate their properties, which could create additional hazards in the event spreading embers are present.” Aberbach’s most important advice, applicable to people living in rural areas as well as to those living in residential areas, is to keep the perimeter immediately surrounding buildings free of potential fuel. “City residents need to take many of the same precautions as those living in more rural areas,” Aberbach said. “All homes, even in cities, should have a clear, defensible space around them. “It’s common sense,” he said. “Many homeowners may become complacent because they see their vegetation growth on a daily basis and don’t realize how

ORGANIZERS

bad their vegetation situation is, not only for them, but how it may impact their neighbors. Take care of maintenance issues, clearing out rain gutters, fixing shingles on roofs, sealing in void areas under decks.” Aberbach said there are numerous online resources that will help homeowners stay prepared. An article called “How to Have a FireWise Home,” available at www.firewise.org, explains the Home Ignition Zone, defined as the perimeter around a house, and how to keep it clear: “Keep leaves and needles off your roof and deck. Create a fuel-free area within 3 to 5 feet of your home’s perimeter. From 5 feet to a minimum of 30 feet out, thin and space vegetation, remove dead leaves and needles, prune shrubs and tree limbs. Keep areas around decks, sheds, fences and swing sets clear of debris and vegetation.” The article further states that to “prevent fire spread, trim back branches that overhang structures and prune branches of large trees up to 6 to 10 feet from the ground. Remove plants containing resins, oils, and waxes; make sure organic mulch is at least 5 feet from structures.” Additional information is also available at local fire departments. “We always encourage people to follow safe and best practices regarding how homes can be managed for fire safety,” Aberbach said. “And, as always, it is always best to call 911 as soon as possible to report any fire.” tws

Location changed for cloud seeding tour

The Wood River Resource Conservation and Development Council has announced a change in starting point for a Thursday, Sept 17, tour of a cloud seeding generator site in the Wood River Valley. Rather than starting in Hailey, as earlier planned, the tour will now begin at the city park in Fairfield at 10 a.m. The tour will be guided by Derek Blestrud, a meteorologist for Idaho Power, and will include a visit to a cloud seeding generator tower in the Croy Canyon area between Hailey and Fairfield. Tour participants are asked to call or leave a message at 208934-5053 or to send an e-mail to woodriverrcandd@yahoo.com before Sept. 15.

WILD GIFT to host open house tonight Startup founder to discuss miracle food product line

By MARIA PREKEGES

nyone who wants to learn more about social entrepreneurship and the way people are changing the world, one venture at a time, can do so tonight from 5-9 p.m. at a special open house hosted by Wild Gift of the Wood River Valley. The Wild Gift organization states on its website that its purpose is to “provide unconventional support to outstanding young individuals with wild ideas that will disrupt the status quo and ignite positive change.” The organization explains that it works to create positive change “using wilderness immersion experiences as a springboard combined with mentoring, seed funding and a collaborative network of support” and through a fellowship program that “fosters grit, integrity and know-how critical to the long-term success of their groundbreaking ventures.” At tonight’s open house, attendees will not only learn more about the organization and its work but also will be provided with a living example in Lisa Curtis, a 2013 Wild Gift fellow who has taken her dream to the next level. Curtis is founder and owner of Kuli Kuli Inc., a rapidly growing startup business that Curtis describes as combining consumer-packaged goods with social good. “Kuli Kuli’s mission is to create a world where everyone has access to nutritious sources of food, and malnutrition only exists in history books,” she said. “We are creating an international market for Moringa oleifera to improve the livelihoods and health of women in West Africa. Moringa is an abundant local superfood that thrives in hot climates, but few people benefit from it. While this ‘miracle tree’ is packed with protein, essential amino acids, 27 vitamins and 46 antioxidants, it’s rarely eaten and is viewed as a low-value crop.” Kuli Kuli offers a variety of food prod8

ucts made from Moringa oleifera. Curtis credits the Wild Gift fellowship with “giving me the courage to finally quit my day job and work on Kuli Kuli full time.” At tonight’s presentation, Curtis will be announcing a new product and a new partnership with Whole Foods Market and the Clinton Foundation that helps support farmers in Haiti. Deborah Knapp, executive director of Wild Gift, described Curtis as one of the organization’s “rising rock stars.” T h e W e e k ly S u n •

“Her story, spirit and now life work exemplifies why we need to support these out-of-the box thinkers who are creating ventures that are system-changing and replicable worldwide as she has shown us with her partnership with the Clinton Foundation,” Knapp said. “I honestly believe there is no stopping this visionary. “Lisa’s accomplishments in two short years are remarkable,” Knapp said. “In addition to developing her business model, building her team, creating jobs, marketing her products in major retail stores september 9, 2015

throughout the West, and generating over $70,000 in capital going back into West African women’s co-ops, Lisa has joined our Wild Gift Alumni Council leading the charge for recruitment of our 2016 class and has become an active member of our growing Wild Gift network of change-makers.” Details for tonight’s event include a Kuli Kuli investment pitch from 5-6 p.m., with the open house continuing from 6-9 p.m. To RSVP and get location information, email Christy@wildgift.org. tws

A wizard at the hoops

BY JONATHAN KANE

ordan Bjorkman, a senior at Wood River High School, is dedicated to “the hoops” and to his studies, playing guard for the Wolverine basketball squad while carrying a 3.4 grade point average. “I started playing basketball when I was 4 years old,” he said. “I have two older brothers and we were always playing around the house. When I was 6, I was playing in the YMCA youth rec league while we were still living in Utah.” At the age of 8 and living in the Wood River Valley, Bjorkman started playing in a basketball league all year long. “My dad was friends with the coach and that is how I made the connection,” he said. “I think he saw that I had a love for the game and that I wanted to put in the effort to get better.” In seventh grade, Bjorkman started to play for Wood River Middle School and has played as a guard on a school team ever since. “Mostly, I play shooting guard,

but I have the ability to play point,” Bjorkman said. “I like to think I can do everything—bring the ball up, shoot and to be able to control the game. I’m not the tallest, so playing down low can be a bit of a challenge.” “We have already started scrimmaging for next season. We have 12 players on the squad and six of them are seniors, and I think we have a good chemistry among the seniors and that could give us the result that we want. “I love playing and watching the sport,” he said. “When I’m playing, I’m free to be who I am so there are no worries. I just go out there and have fun.” Born in Kamas, Utah, Bjorkman moved at a young age with his family to the Wood River Valley because of a business opportunity for his father. He described Kamas as “about the size of Bellevue, but there was nothing like Sun Valley nearby.” “It’s been great growing up here, although the only downside is that the closest city is Boise,” he said. “I

think I like a small city more than I like rural living. There’s just more activities and variety.” “We live right near the Big Wood and that’s where I’ll be most days,” Bjorkman said. “I fish it, swim in it and I’ve rafted it. In the winter, days are spent on Baldy because I love to ski, which I started at 4 years old. “One of the great things about this place is that you know everybody and it’s a tight-knit community. But it can also be the downside because if one bad thing happens, everyone will know about it.” Going into his senior year, Bjorkman hopes to become an engineer. He has a demanding schedule this year at WRHS, with college algebra, precalculus, American government and Advanced Placement psychology. “Math is my favorite subject— it just clicks with me,” Bjorkman said. “My brother is studying to be an engineer and we have always done engineering projects together as a family. I like thinking like an engineer and I love the process of it.” tws

JURY SELECTION STARTED IN 2014 MURDER CASE Blaine County Man Charged in Shooting Death of Acquaintance

lthough the start of a jury trial is still five weeks away, the process of selecting a jury has already started in a 2014 Blaine County murder case. Accused in the case is Keith Eric Blankenship, a 51-yearold Blaine County man who is charged in the shooting death in January of 2014 of 47-year-old Stephen Michael Romanchuk, an acquaintance Blankenship allegedly owed money. Blankenship was charged with second-degree murder after he turned himself in to the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office in May of that year. Romanchuk’s body was found shortly after that, partially concealed in a pile of dead leaves at Blankenship’s residence on Deer Creek Road north of Hailey. Blankenship has remained incarcerated in the Blaine County jail on $500,000 bond since his arrest in mid-May of 2014. He is also charged with a second felony crime of “destruction, alteration or concealment” of evidence. The trial is scheduled to begin in Blaine County 5th District Court in Hailey on Oct. 13. It is expected to last about two and a half weeks. Some 200 prospective jurors were summoned into 5th District Court on Tuesday, Sept. 1, to begin a process of honing down a potential jury to a smaller number and to determine if an impartial jury can be found in Blaine County. Prospective jurors were brought

into court in three different groups because of space limitations in the courtroom. Two groups assembled in the morning and the third group in early afternoon. “They were brought in to fill out a lengthy juror questionnaire,” Blaine County Prosecuting Attorney Jim Thomas explained in an email to The Weekly Sun. “Given the level of publicity the case may have garnered, it will allow the parties ahead of time to determine if we will be able to obtain a sufficient number of impartial jurors prior to the start of trial.” The case against Blankenship started on May 14, 2014, when he came to the sheriff’s office and allegedly admitted to killing Romanchuk. According to a sheriff’s office report, Blankenship acknowledged that he had done “something really bad” but claimed that he killed Romanchuk in self-defense and “buried him in my backyard.” Romanchuk’s partially decomposed body was recovered the following day. According to the sheriff’s office report, Blankenship allegedly owed Romanchuk $100 and the shooting occurred on about Jan. 15, 2014, during a dispute between the two men. The Blaine County Coroner’s Office later determined that Romanchuk died from multiple gunshot wounds from a high-caliber handgun. Romanchuk was the subject of a missing person’s alert from Blaine County until his body was found about four months after he was reported missing.

Keith Eric Blankenship is charged with second-degree murder for allegedly killing a Blaine County man in 2014. A jury trial is scheduled to begin on Oct. 13 in Blaine County 5th District Court.

The case is being heard by Judge Jonathan P. Brody, who normally presides over 5th District Court in Minidoka County. Brody was assigned to the case following the filing of a disqualification motion by the Blaine County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office against Blaine County 5th District Court Judge Robert J. Elgee. By Idaho court rules, the prosecutor’s office was not required to state a reason for the disqualification. The trial was earlier scheduled to begin in May of this year but was postponed then because additional DNA testing was needed for evidence in the case. Blankenship is represented by Hailey attorneys Keith Roark and Douglas Nelson, who were court appointed as public defenders.

GIRL Is RECOVERING FROM PARADE INJURY

n 11-year-old girl who fell from her horse during the Wagon Days Parade in Ketchum on Saturday is “at home with her parents recovering from minor injuries,” Ketchum Fire Chief Mike Elle said Tuesday. The girl, who portrayed “War Bonnet Princess” in the parade, was released to her parents after an assessment by an ambulance crew following the accident. Elle said two other people who were observing the parade suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene by paramedics. T h e W e e k ly S u n •

ever, when I was a sleepy teenager in my converted den-bedroom, did I think I would now be cherishing the music of that time. I had a 45-rpm player next to my bed in the room I loved in Burbank, California. Being susceptible to the unrequited crushes of my fantasies, I often played “Dreams” along with “Mr. Sandman” before I finally lifted the tone arm from each record, hoping I would soon find a sign that I might experience some fulfillment of my expectations. I clearly took to heart a Seventeen magazine article which reported that thinking of someone in the afternoon – but not later – would result in a dream wherein that person was a feature. So I tried every night to forget the boy I had thought of at 4:00, hoping my wishes before sleep would be generic, but he still popped into my mind. I look back upon that time as one of youthful innocence and hope... the handsome young man of the stories I devoured as a child could not be merely an unobtainable dream, could he? But here I am a couple of generations later, singing with Caritas Chorale the very song that stimulated my romantic thoughts about the senior football player who, with his locker next to mine, would occasionally call me Courtesy photo “Bones,” a term I hoped was en- JoEllen Collins—a longtime dearment involv- resident of the Wood River ing my 95-pound Valley—is a teacher, writer, frame. Just before fabric artist, choir member he graduated, he and unabashedly proud grandma known as “Bibi Jo.” said maybe I could instead be named “Twig,” just short of less than deadly as a compliment. For most of the years of my youth I believed, although unrealistically, in the far-off promise of these tunes. When my daughters and I drove anywhere, we sang; when we went on road trips, we joined the likes of Simon and Garfunkel, Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton. I loved these moments when our voices matched the wind around us, sometimes out of key, expressing life’s open challenges, even within the context of the sadness of such songs as “Desperado” or “Jolene.” So here I am, decades later, singing with friends who also love harmonies, recreating the blissful feeling of music, words and joy. It is almost hard not to cry when these lyrics evoke a more hopeful time. That is the power of music! For years I avoided church because I cried too often at the congregations’ recreations of the hymns of my sweet youth with my loving parents: I am overly nostalgic at times. Finally, a mentor said, “If you need to cry, why NOT in the safe place of a sanctuary.” So I joined a church choir here in Ketchum. Since then I have also been blessed by participating in the shared musical camaraderie and energy of Caritas and of Patty Parson-Tewson’s Hallelujah Chorus. Singing (even if not so skillfully) has given me a connection to the celebration of another way to share emotions. How fortunate I am to have had such a strong connection with the heartstrings and pressed buttons of joy encouraged by gathering with others in song. tws 11

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR sepTembeR 9 FRom picabo angleR

all is upon us. The leaves are changing, chainsaws are heard in the timber, elk are bugling, gardens are being harvested and autumn hatches are here! On the Big Wood, the Western Red Quill is out and about, driving the fish crazy. This BIG mayfly is a mouthful for a fish and a great way for fish to fatten up before winter. Couple this with the enormity of fall Baetis hatches and it’s apparent that this is a good month to be a trout in Idaho! Expect to see both of these insects during bankers’ hours and with quite a bit of overlap as well. Trico on warm mornings is still a possibility, and Hoppers are going to continue to take fish until they are long gone. Expect a lot of the same thing in the Upper Lost, with a lean toward Ants and Hoppers. Although the Upper is fishing well, the water is low enough that you need to be prepared to cover a lot of ground. The fish are holding in the deep water and under the slick foam lines. Look for this water type and you will find fish. The Lower Lost continues to fish well when flows are reasonable. It looks as though they may stay at fishable levels for the duration, but keep an eye on the cfs; if it remains below 350 cfs, you are in business and the trip is worth it. Skating Crane Flies is the most fun way to angle, with Trico and Baetis also bringing fish to the surface. If nothing is happening, fish with red-colored Nymphs and Zebra Midges. Silver Creek remains excellent, although with shorter fishing windows. Expect the morning activity to start late – sometime around 10 a.m., and even later on cold mornings. The afternoons are becoming more and more productive and the early evening has been really good. If you fish the Creek, have Baetis, Callibaetis, Hoppers, Ants, and Mahogany Duns. Expect to see the Mahogany Dun any day now, as the cooler weather should bring this bug to the forefront. The South Fork of the Boise remains around 600 cfs, making some wading possible, and some boating possible. Hoppers are the way to go if you head down there, with a residual Pink Albert on a hot day and Ants a great fly in the slowest water. Hunters can expect to see a few northern doves making their way into the valley and the grouse hunting remains solid. Be safe and enjoy the hunt. Happy fishing and hunting, everyone!

Collar Bells are a “SOUND” Hiking tool! BY FRAN JEWELL

hat a great day for a hike, with your beloved companion always by your side. The sky is that incredible blue only Idaho has. The trees and sagebrush fill your senses with that familiar and peaceful aroma. And, the creek that runs along the trail delights and refreshes your beautiful dog. Life doesn’t get much better than this! Then, out of nowhere, a rabbit crosses the trail in front of you and your dog is off for the chase of her lifetime. Up the hillside she runs, until she is out of view – all the while your calls for your dog land on deaf ears! Now, panic sets in. You ask yourself, “What lies over that hill that I cannot see?” You know all our trails abound with not just rabbits, but also many predatory animals. Every person in this Valley that hikes with their dog has probably experienced this heart-wrenching event. Even a well-trained dog may have moments of irresistible “prey drive” that overcomes all sensibility. While more training and management is probably called for, an immediate tool we can use is a bell on your dog’s collar. Why? First, when a dog wears a bell on its collar, you can many times hear where your dog is even if you cannot see her. Secondly, a fairly loud bell will alert all the forest creatures that there is something coming and to flee the

area long before your dog gets sight of that animal. Many times our dogs need to actually SEE that woodland creature before they begin the chase. So a bell can actually PREVENT wildlife confrontations. Third, a bell allows other hikers to know you and your dog are coming. Everyone has a right to be out hiking with their dogs, even with dogs that may not have good social skills with other dogs or people. If someone owns a dog with less than excellent social skills, when they hear a bell coming, it gives them a chance to leash their dog and move off the trail. This can prevent an unwanted aggressive interaction. Fourth, in the fall, when hunters are out and about, it helps to let them know your dog is a dog, not a target. And, lastly, if you do lose your dog in the woods, a bell can continue to alert the woodland animals to stay away, but also help direct you in a search. Several times now I have had clients report to me that even though their dog was lost overnight, they were able to find their dog because they could hear the bell. AND, their dog was unharmed by any predators. I recommend Swiss bells because the sound seems to carry farther. They can usually be found at most pet stores and sporting goods stores that sell hunting dog supplies. While a sound and absolute “come” command is always your dog’s best protection,

column movie review

‘American Ultra’ American Dud

BY JONATHAN KANE

on’t be fooled by the trailer for “American Ultra.” You are not about to be entertained by a “Pineapple Express”-style stoner action comedy. Instead, you will be sorely disappointed by this lame and bloodsoaked story of a sleeper agent for the CIA residing in Jesse Eisenberg’s slacker convenience-store clerk. Eisenberg fiddles away his time being stoned with his amazingly devoted girlfriend, played by Kristen Stewart, until one day a woman shows up at work mumbling some gibberish. Suddenly, Eisen-

berg is in the parking lot, easily dispatching two assassins with a spoon. The killers have been sent by CIA operative Topher Grace to wipe out one of the remnants of a secret project to create super-spies that has gone off the rails. Eisenberg is not as harmless as he appears and his discovery of his hidden talents to kill people effortlessly is the one note in this onenote movie. So he goes on the run with Stewart, as the body count rises and rises. If the film has anything Ultra about it, it’s the violence. It certainly isn’t the laughs. Directed poorly by Nima Nourizadeh from a bad screenplay by Max Landis, the concept of the rogue super-spy in a catatonic state has become overused in popular culture. And the talents of the leads, along with support from John Leguizamo, have been put to better use. Moviemakers like Quentin Tarantino are one in a generation and can pull off this mix of genres and level of violence. Sadly, “American Ultra” is not a Tarantino film. tws

The Garden of Infinite Compassion at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden is a wonderful place to contemplate peace and take a step back from the often dizzying pace of everyday modern life.

TEN YEARS OF PEACE & COMPASSION BY SAWTOOTH BOTANICAL GARDEN

Visitors flocking to the Sawtooth Botanical Garden this summer often comment on the beauty of the Garden of Infinite Compassion (GIC). The GIC’s message of peace and love bridges all faiths. It is truly a magical place. However, few realize that it was designed 10 years ago by Martin Mosko, a landscape architect who travels the country lecturing on contemplative garden design. Or that the beautiful prayer wheel filled with a million handwritten prayers was a gift to the community from the Dalai Lama. The Sawtooth Botanical Garden is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the GIC by hosting “A Week of Peace and Compassion,” Sept. 11-20. On Friday, Sept. 11 from 5:307 p.m., community leaders will explore “Commemorating 9/11 and Creating a Compassionate World.” Panelists include Ida16

ho Senator Michelle Stennett, D-Ketchum; Dr. Scott McLean, St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center; Ryan Redman, Flourish Foundation; Reverend John Moreland, Light on the Mountains Spiritual Center; and Carolyn Nystrom, Hospice of the Wood River Valley. Panelists will discuss how to develop and sustain compassion in a world of challenges. Free. Light refreshments. Sept. 14-18 community members will lead daily meditations and host docent tours of the GIC. On Friday, Sept 18 from 6-8 p.m., meet and mingle with GIC designer Martin Mosko. Af-ter a short celebration, Mosko will lead a candlelight walk through the Garden of Infinite Com-passion. Tickets are $35 per person and include delicious appetizers, wine and beer. For the full schedule and to purchase tickets, contact the Garden at sbgarden.org or 208726-9358.

The 11th annual Fall Vintage Show, Swap Meet & Snowmobile Expo will take place on the grass field next to the Mountain Village Resort off Hwy. 21. The show is free to all and will feature displays and activities including vintage sleds and exciting promotions from several Idaho dealers, including new 2015 sleds and other products. In addition, the show will include a Swap Meet for current sleds. An Idaho State Snowmobile Association representative will be on site to discuss wilderness proposals, backcountry issues, snowmobile access and much more.

The Advocates’ ETC

The Skills for a Better Tomorrow

Guest article this week by the development staff

his past Saturday, Aug. 8, The Advocates’ Skills for Success Employment Program honored its 12th class with a graduation at Light on the Mountains Spiritual Center. The hard work and dedication of 13 students over the past 11 weeks was highlighted by program director Susan Fierman with these words: “These people made a great commitment to change their lives and their possibilities for the future. They committed to spending 11 weeks in a program of classes designed to help them be able to get better, stable work and expand their own future possibilities for themselves and their families.” The graduates where surrounded by friends, family members and colleagues old and new as they received their certificates. Many were overwhelmed with achievement and excited about taking the next steps with the new tools they have learned. The graduates had powerful personal experiences and growth during the class that they shared in their speeches: “At first, I was not sure why I signed up for the class. But,

after only one class, I realized why. I signed up to motivate myself to pursue my goals. And now I am doing just that.” “(This class) made me more confident. This is the only thing I’ve committed to. I finished something and I am ready for my future” – one graduate proclaimed. Another graduate said, “I really appreciate being able to participate in this program. It made a difference in my personal life as well as in my work life.” “I originally took this class to gain confidence. But I learned so much more. I learned we are worthwhile and have the opportunity to be successful individuals. We all have something unique to contribute to this world,” another graduate stated. Congratulations and warm wishes for the future were exchanged between the graduates and teachers, followed by a potluck celebration lunch provided by students, family, friends and staff. The 13th Skills for Success Employment Program class will start Oct. 5, 2015. Classes are Monday and Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Please contact Susan Fierman for additional information at 208-788-4191. Space is limited, so call soon!
