Police task force makes major drug busts Defendants in two cases face six felonies each

BY TERRY SMITH

A

Blaine County interagency police task force has made two major drug busts in the past few months involving people allegedly selling large amounts of illegal narcotics in the Wood River Valley.

The arrests are the result of investigations by the Blaine County Narcotics Enforcement Team, commonly referred to as the NET, and directed by Steve Harkins, a former Ketchum police chief who is now chief deputy to Blaine County Sheriff Gene Ramsey.

In an interview Monday, Ramsey said the two cases are not related, but that both involved large sales of either cocaine or methamphetamine and smaller sales of marijuana. Both defendants have been charged with six felony crimes that could put them in prison for the rest of their lives.

“Six felony crimes for delivery for me is a big thing,” Ramsey said.

The first bust involved longtime Ketchum resident David Herman Boock, 61, who was arrested at his home in Warm Springs in May. The second and more recent bust was against 37-year-old Danielle Theresea Snyder, a for-

mer Blaine County resident who has been living in Boise. She was taken into custody in a traffic stop near Hop Porter Park in west Hailey on June 29.

The arrest occurred following a two-month investigation when Snyder allegedly made four sales of methamphetamine and one sale of marijuana to a police confidential informant. She is further charged with one felony count of possession of methamphetamine and one misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.

A probable cause affidavit filed in the case by Ketchum Police Detective Kristen Quinton, a member of the NET, alleges that Snyder routinely brought drugs from Boise for sales in Blaine County. Although some of the sales, according to the Quinton report, were smaller and worth only a few hundred dollars, a final sale on June 29, just prior to Snyder’s arrest, involved a sale of almost two ounces of methamphetamine at a price of $1,700.

Snyder has pleaded not guilty to all charges. She is currently being held in the Blaine County jail on $100,000 bond.

The Boock case involved a two-month investigation by the NET with a first sale of cocaine to a confidential informant allegedly occurring on April 1. A

probable cause affidavit filed in that case by Blaine County Detective Mike Abaid, also a member of the NET, states that three more sales of cocaine took place over the next several weeks, culminating in the issuance and execution of a search warrant at Boock’s home on Warm Springs Road on May 20.

The search led to further drug trafficking charges against Boock because of the 1.5 pounds of cocaine and three pounds of marijuana that police allege were found at the home.

Boock has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is awaiting a jury trial scheduled to begin in Blaine County 5th District Court on Nov. 18. He was released from jail on May 28 after posting bond of $150,000.

Both the Snyder and Boock cases involved the use of a confidential informant, typically referred to in police jargon as a “CI.” A confidential informant, often a former drug user, gains the trust of a drug dealer in order to make a purchase for the benefit of police investigators.

CIs typically arrange for a sale with the dealer, are given money by police to make the purchase, are fitted with a “wire” transmitting device and are kept under close police surveillance while a purchase is being made.

Typically, multiple purchases are made to strengthen the case against a defendant and ensure successful prosecution.

Police keep the identities of CIs secret, for both the CI’s protection and so that the CI can be used in multiple drug buys or multiple cases.

Sheriff Ramsey said police have had a “successful summer” thus far in making drug arrests, but that investigations are constantly underway to further battle the sale and use of illegal drugs in the county.

“I would hope it would make a dent in the illegal drug trade

in the community and send a message that we are not going to tolerate that in the community,” the sheriff said.

Ketchum native Maxwell Kessler relates Tinseltown to everyman through the pilot episode of his TV sitcom hopeful, “The Plaza.”

Kessler, along with co-creator Kyle Morrison, has written what the pair hopes to be a humorous, inspirational show set in Boston, Mass., and comprised of characters able to find the lighter side to everyday life’s dilemmas.

The Plaza is Kessler and Morrison’s most recent project from a catalog of productions dating back to the pairs’ college days.

The Plaza springboards from both writers’ personal relations. Show content is parodied through a litany of quirky characters all focused upon helping one another through tough times.

Kessler said it was his Wood River upbringing that helped him appreciate and understand how to write the sitcom.

“I owe a great deal to all of the Wood River Valley’s local artists and performers,” Kessler said. “My upbringing was unique even for the Wood River Valley because I grew up hanging out with my dad at the Magic Lantern, and then my mom was singing and doing comedy as a Vuarnette.”

Kessler and Morrison are now in the production phase of The Plaza and have employed Idaho native sons Tyler Martin as producer, Ben Molyneux as director of photography and Ben Larroquette as music composer.

Principle photography is set for August with sales pitches expected to be made at FX, Comedy Central and Hulu channels no later than early next year.

“We’re not making this show so we can fart around in Southern California and make dumb jokes,” Kessler said. “We want hardworking people to come home, turn on their TV and watch a show about people like them.

“The Plaza is a tip of the hat to everyone who comes home exhausted every day and just wants to kick back and be entertained.

In An Eye’s Reflection

By Jonathan Kane

E

mily Stone, a Wood River High School junior with a 4.125 GPA, is a natural artist whos innate talents started coming out at a very young age.

“I remember drawing a bowl of grapes at 3 years old,” she said. “I was drawing lines and my mom asked me what they were and I told her it was the light reflected on the grapes.

“I have always loved art,” Stone said. “I’ve always spent a lot of my free time drawing, and I’m always looking at other people’s art in their houses.

“When I was a little kid we always would go to Local Color and I would paint pottery. Today there is a picture of me as a toddler in there.”

Stone had turned her talents mainly to landscapes, but recently began doing portraits, a talent that evolved into face painting. In the sixth grade she took a business approach to face painting and created a company known as “Face 2 Face.”

“The idea was to do it at birthday parties and at special events,” Stone said. “It all started when I got face paints for a birthday gift and I would paint my sister’s face until she got pretty annoyed, so I needed more opportunity.

“My dad gave me the idea to start a business and I wanted to be an entrepreneur like him. At first, I sent out emails with a brochure and handed out business cards. It worked out really well until I just didn’t have the time for it anymore.

“Around that time an art teacher at the Middle School paid special attention to my painting and I invested in my own paints and pencils,” she said.

Stone said she prefers to work with acrylics, which is water soluble plastic-based paint that she said “is cheaper than oil and looks nicer and is more fun to work with than tempura paints.”

Currently her focus is on painting people and glass so that she

can capture the reflections of light.

“Portraits help me work with realism and making people look as realistic as possible,” she said.

“The more I focus on them the better I get. I now have a studio in my house and although it’s getting harder for me to find the time during the school year I get to paint about seven hours a week.”

Stone is currently taking Advanced Placement Studio Art at the WRHS and is building up a portfolio for college. She will be applying to art and design schools, although she is also thinking of computer science and design of websites using interface design and programming.

“But I think I’ll always paint.

If not as a career, then as a hobby that will always stick with me.”

In addition to her art, Stone is also an outdoor adventurer, having recently completed a 30day backpacking course for the National Outdoor Leadership School.

“We hiked 101 miles in Wyoming,” Stone said. “There were 11 of us in the group and we summited two mountains and spent five days without instructors. It was really cool to be able to trust and support yourself.

“It made society seem a lot smaller than everything else in the world, and taught me that I could make it through the world with food, water, shelter and happiness.” tws

LEAF helps grow environmental consciousness California enviro-students visit the Wood River Valley

BY P.M. FADDEN

L

EAF, a national environmental education program, brings California students to Idaho for environmental studies intended to help make this a better world.

Students from Environmental Charter High School (ECHS) – Lawndale, a free public high school in urbanized South Los Angeles, have been studying with LEAF Idaho throughout July, spending two weeks each at The Nature Conservancy’s Silver Creek Preserve in Picabo and Flat Ranch Preserve west of West Yellowstone, Mont.

“LEAF’s young people are gaining classroom knowledge about the environment and the direct, applied experience in nature to learn how each individual can make a difference,” said Sunny Healey, manager, Silver Creek Preserve. “We know from 20 years of history that these experiences empower youth to protect natural resources, support energy conservation efforts, and become actively engaged in creating a more sustainable future.”

Healey, a Wood River Valley native with a geology degree from Boise State University, has three years’ work experience with The Nature Conservancy and manages the Silver Creek Preserve.

LEAF is an acronym for “Leaders in Environmental Action for the Future.” The program works in partnership with international presence The Nature Conservancy “to provide paid summer internships for high school students while assisting in best environmentally conscious practices and scientific resources to high schools.”

LEAF has been active in Idaho since 2014, expanding the 21-year-old program to 28 states with a current enlistment of some 1,000 interns.

LEAF online describes the program as having a “tremendous impact on urban youth by opening students’ eyes to career possibilities while building self-confidence, work skills and conservation literacy.”

AIMÉE CHRISTENSEN: Working for a strong economy with a clean environment

BY DICK DORWORTH

A

imée Christensen thinks globally and acts locally, but also thinks locally and acts globally in those places where the environment and the economy meet.

Christensen’s thinking and acting have taken her beyond the Wood River Valley, to the Southeast Asian country of Bhutan, to Washington, D.C., and to South America, places where she has worked and knows well.

Christensen is a recognized world leader in seeking solutions to maintaining a sustainable economy while protecting the environment and the natural resources on which that economy and all other life depends. She is the founder and CEO of Christensen Global Strategies, which works with industries, governments and individuals to develop a clean global economy.

In 1983, when she was 13, her parents, Doug and Ann Christensen, moved to Sun Valley and Aimée attended and later graduated from Community School before moving on to Smith College in Northampton, Mass., where she majored in Latin American studies and anthropology. She later earned a Juris Doctorate degree from Stanford University.

As a high school senior, Christensen did her senior project on

news

the Mayan culture of Mexico, which inspired her lifelong commitment to finding solutions to the ongoing effects of environmental degradation on human communities.

The Community School website quotes H.D. Thoreau to explain the function of the senior project: “A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint.

What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.”

And so she has.

Christensen credits her parents for the direction and passion she brings to her work. Her mother instilled in her a love for nature with early hikes on Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, Calif.

Her father, a self-made and highly successful owner of a construction company, encouraged her to appreciate and nurture personal integrity and a strong work ethic.

Doug and Ann Christensen were actively involved since the 1960s with environmental issues through the Sierra Club and the National Audubon Society. After moving to Idaho, they helped found Idaho Rivers United and were dedicated activists on behalf of Idaho’s wolves, salmon and environment, receiving several humanitarian and environmental awards for their efforts.

Investigative

After nearly two decades of living in Washington, D.C., working with clients as varied as the Carbon War Room, Clinton Global Initiative, Microsoft, the United Nations, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the U.S. Department of Energy, and successfully negotiating the first U.S. bilateral climate change accord with Costa Rica, Christensen moved back to the Wood River Valley in 2009 in order to live near her parents and to bring her work home.

In April, she launched the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience, www.sunvalleyinstitute.org, and the first Sun Valley Forum was standing room only with a powerful keynote address by U.S. Senator Cory Booker, D-NJ. Christensen considers her time and efforts in Washington to change the larger system and message about clean energy and the environment to have been both effective and satisfying.

She is involved in state-level policy as well, with an op-ed in the Idaho Statesman in June arguing that Idaho, too, can strengthen its economy with leadership on resilience and local investment, tapping into its natural assets, including solar energy.

only provide food to needy children but to also help farmers by absorbing surplus crops. Currently, the program feeds an average of 31 million youngsters daily, and has an annual budget of more than $11.6 billion.

In 2009 the program was expanded to provide meals to needy children when school is not in session, creating government-funded Summer Lunch Programs at qualifying schools across the nation.

Molema said the Wood River Valley qualifies for the program because there are “more than 800 children in Blaine County living in poverty and over 40 percent of all kids in the school district qualify for free or reduced cost meal programs.”

Eleven-year-old Eduardo Ramirez is known as the “super volunteer,” showing up to help nearly every day for Lunch in the Park.

“The Hunger Coalition is dedicated to ensuring no child goes hungry in our county,” Molema said. “Our summer food program is an integral part of combatting childhood hunger.

“In the summer, kids are struggling—they miss that free lunch and breakfast that school offers,” she said. ”You think of when the summer hits, lots of kids lose those free meals on which they are dependent.

“With the Summer Food Program and Lunch in the Park, we can ensure that kids eat well in the summer, too. I really think this is a good use of federal government money. It’s definitely making a difference.”

Volunteers Preparation and distribution of the food relies heavily on volunteers. Scott Slonim, a teacher at Hemingway Elementary School in Ketchum, was assisting on Monday, but Slonim insisted that his participation pales in comparison to that of Eduardo Ramirez, an 11-year-old Hailey Elementary School student.

“We don’t really need to be here because Eduardo runs everything himself,” Slonim said.

“He’s here almost every day.”

Molema is also appreciative of the dedication Ramirez provides to the program.

“He’s been a great helper this year,” she said. “I think he’s been there every day. He’s constantly restocking. He’s like a little whirlwind—he’s just fabulous.” tws

Farewell To Main St. Market

By Brennan Rego

Main St. Market in Ketchum has announced that the business will close in mid-August.

"We inherited a difficult lease from Roxy's and tried to make the best of it over the past four years,” states co-owner Steve Holzman in a news release issued by the market on Tuesday. “The original five-year lease term is ending, and it did not make sense to extend the lease for the required seven-year commitment, with escalating rent payments, given that the store is operating at a loss."

Just over four years ago, Holzman and Michael Marks, both local residents, assumed an ownership interest in a struggling grocery store called Roxy's and created today's Main St. Market

“Their goal was to provide a vibrant shopping environment that delivered high-quality, fresh, and specialty products aligned with the healthy lifestyle of the Sun Valley community,” the release states.

It’s always difficult to see a local business go, and I was saddened to receive this news. In a small community, it’s important to maintain as much variety as possible in any industry. And in a local economy, it’s important that each industry have some healthy competition (though I’m sure we all wish we didn’t have competitors!). I wish Holzman, Marks and the entire Main St. Market team the best of luck in their next ventures. tws

For love of family, music and fun; Will Caldwell awaits the onset of happy vibes at Thursday’s free Town Square Tunes, one of three free nights of music occurring weekly in Ketchum.

Community In Concert

E

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

When it comes to Will Caldwell, the first thing recognizable is his humble nature. What the transplanted Oregonian skier-veteran-turned-architect-turned-painter/musician and father of three wants you to know about the Valley he has loved since 1971 is that, in the summer, “there’s no place more special than the Wood River Valley.”

It was while running Sun Valley Magazine’s first efforts and playing conga drum on the side that Caldwell first learned of the Wood River community’s fledgling attempts at live summer music with an early-event schedule that featured one evening’s live performance per week.

“It was a complete flop,” remembered Caldwell. “Shops didn’t necessarily want to stay open and there was a generation split because the younger crowds didn’t show.”

But all of that would begin to change after Caldwell’s thoughtful trip to the Ketchum Chamber of Commerce with a plan to revitalize what he saw as an avenue “to share in our community spirit through concerts.” Soon, large groups of all ages were making plans and joining the outdoor music occasions.

“Every summer night is an opportunity to get together like a family and boogie,” said Caldwell.

10

“Our community skis, works, plays and grows together; we really are like a family.”

With Chamber of Commerce backing and additional support from area businesses, free music soon began to fill the Idaho evening air. An entire concert series sprang to life, with weekly Ketch’em Alive performances at Forest Service Park on Tuesdays, City of Ketchum Town Square Tunes on Thursdays and Jazz in the Park Sundays at Rotary Park, all taking place with Caldwell’s help.

“You can feel the positive energy here,” said Caldwell of the draw to summer’s events. “Families like mine can come out and all generations are dancing together and having fun. To be out there dancing with one’s grown children, and their children, too, is a special milestone – it certainly is for me.”

“I would love to see the continuance of the great thing we’ve grown here,” said Caldwell of the future of free summer music.

“Huge thanks are to be given to our sponsors and supporters because, without them, this happening scene wouldn’t be possible.”

“There’s nothing more fun than dancin’ on a summer’s night,” said Caldwell. “I’ll see you at the next show!”

Feel the next good vibes at Town Square Tunes July 30th or Ketch’em Alive August 4th.

So there you have it and now you know. That’s one more degree bringing us closer to home. tws

hen my cousin from California arrived for a visit a few days ago, I had no idea I would have such a memorable four days in my own town. Every July and August I get heady with the joys of summer in the Wood River Valley and love the chance to extoll its virtues in a column.

Over my cousin Diane’s stay with me, I visited stores, restaurants and other venues that I could see from a fresh point of view.

The first evening we dined at my daughter and son-in-law’s restaurant. This time, with the garden flowers in bloom, the light breeze and an incipient sunset, I knew once again the pleasure of being there. The next day we all enjoyed a favorite breakfast place of my family whenever they visit and then strolled around Sun Valley, whitened by the dots of tents of the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference and filled with happy and relaxed guests.

Courtesy photo Viewing once JoEllen Collins—a longtime again the photos resident of the Wood River in the long hall Valley—is a teacher, writer, of the Lodge fabric artist, choir member and appreciating and unabashedly proud the magic of this grandma known as “Bibi Jo.” resort from the eyes of a newcomer, I repeated the thought that I am so lucky to live in this area.

At all of the ensuing events we encountered many friends and acquaintances, one of the reasons I love small-town life. While some Valley residents feel trepidation about how much we know about each other, we also acknowledge the care we give and concern we have for our neighbors. Most of the time, “mi casa es su casa” applies.

That night I showed off just one of many dramatic entities we have in the Valley, seeing for the second time, because I needed to share it, Company of Fools’ production of “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.”

Even knowing the jokes, I savored every minute, proud of the actors in the production, the professionalism of the terrific set and other components, and beamed at the good fortune of experiencing the talent all around us.

I will not bore you with lists of the plethora of cultural events available in our tiny slice of Idaho. I’m sure I bored Diane, good sport that she is.

I acknowledge that our location and size proscribes some of the life of a big city, but I happen to like what we attract. As we sat in the Pavilion for a three-presentation package at the Writers’ Conference, I felt that nowhere else could I have been more entertained, awe-struck, and educated. I recalled several years ago being five feet away from William Styron, chatting with the likes of Frank McCourt, laughing at Dave Barry and even taking some of my pupils to hear Ishmael Beah right after they had read his book.

On Diane’s last day here we rode the gondola and chair to the top of Baldy. What we saw could have been Switzerland. Where else would I like to visit? My travel feet love stopping right here! tws

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR july 29 FRom picabo angleR

T

rico madness continues on most Sun Valley area waters, and especially on Silver Creek. With hot temperatures in the forecast for the end of the week, expect hot fishing to come with it. Focus your attention on the mornings and evenings. Most of the action has been starting around 8 a.m. and lasting until lunch. When the morning session ends, plan on fishing Hoppers or Damselflies. On the sloughs, the fishing with Ants, Beetles and Callibaetis has been very good, and it’s a great fallback when nothing else is going on. In the evenings, plan on seeing a variety of insects, with Baetis as a mainstay. Finally, on the Creek, the Mouse fishing continues to be epic. If you’ve never tried it, this is your year!

On our freestone rivers like the Big Wood and Upper Lost, expect sparse hatches but decent fishing when the light is low.

Mornings and evenings are where it is at right now, with Caddis and Mayfly spinners being the best-producing flies. On the Upper Lost make sure you have small yellow flies.

They can be PMD patterns, or small attractors like Stimulators. Fishing subsurface can be productive with Streamers and Nymphs, but again even these techniques are going to work best at low light periods. If you want to fish during the heat of the day, look for shady spots and fish a Dave’s Hopper.

The South Fork of the Boise should turn on a bit more this week as hot temperatures kick the Pink Albert action up a few notches. This should improve the nymphing and the dry-fly opportunities throughout the river. If you want to fish big foam, think about Hopper and Cicada patterns – especially if the wind is blowing!

Our other tailwater, the Lower Lost River, is fishing well. Have Trico and Crane flies if you go over the pass, and keep your eyes on the flows so you don’t make a long journey over to find high water.

Finally, we are coming up on Flying Ant season!

We have seen plenty on Silver Creek the past week, but expect to see more and more of them on all the area rivers. There are days during the hot summer months when a Flying Ant can be a game changer.

This is a fly that fish love, and one we carry here at the store in large quantities – for good reason!

hat a fabulous idea puppy parties are for socializing young puppies. However, the best puppy parties do have some guidelines that should help any doggie gathering.

First, be sure you have lots of enclosed, safe space for the party. When several dogs meet, puppies or older dogs, it takes only a second for one of them to go missing and find himself on a dangerous roadway. Safe and fun dog relationships need space.

The closer the confinement, the more likely there is to be a fight.

Second, invite dogs or puppies of equal size, age and personality. Timid or less exuberant puppies can become easily overwhelmed by more rambunctious puppies. Do not force them to stay in playtime if they want to leave. It is not “socialization” if a puppy or even an older dog is forced to stay when they are not comfortable. Casually but quickly remove the dog or puppy and take them home. Another time,

sponsored

in very short intervals, might be more appropriate for that particular dog or puppy.

Third, keep the puppy parties short and sweet. I suggest a time of only half an hour. Then all the dogs get called to their owners and given treats, and are put away or go home. Lengthy times of hearty play can make puppies very tired. When puppies (or older dogs) get tired, they get grumpy just like little children.

Then the risk of fighting increases. If you see play escalate into more aggressive behavior, stop the play and go home. The more puppies or older dogs practice what is called “ritualized aggression,” the more likely they are to be more aggressive with other dogs as a rule. Quit while you are ahead. Always!

Puppy parties are not a time for the owners to socialize with their friends and not pay attention to the dogs. It is a time to supervise happy playtime and make it an educational experience for all the puppies or dogs.

Useful obedience skills can also be incorporated into the party by

having the pup sit before being released into play, or being called out of play for a treat. Then the pup is released back into play.

Puppy parties can also be designed so that only human friends come to meet the puppy.

It becomes a great training opportunity to teach the puppy not to jump on guests and for puppies to find out that strangers are friendly. The best case is to have treats ready. Have guests come at 10-minute intervals. Have your puppy on a leash as each person arrives. Step on the leash so the puppy cannot run out the door or jump out of control, then reward sitting, over and over again.

After guests arrive, you can have a short gathering and serve hors d’oeuvres while your puppy learns to lie nicely on a target mat or bed, learning not to beg.

Again, short and sweet is the key to a successful puppy party. Puppies can become stressed very easily and this gives them an opportunity to have a good experience with lots of positive reinforcement.

Flight Takes Aim

BY MIKE MCKENNA

L

ife and archery have a lot more in common than you might think.

Finding success and fulfillment in either requires practice and patience, determination, self-belief, and finally to pick out a target or a goal and let `er rip!

Sandra Martin Acker’s aim in life right now is to help people of all ages and abilities get into archery, as well as offer those already fans of the sport a great place to practice and be a part of the welcoming and friendly archery community.

That’s why she recently opened up Flight Archery Studio on Main Street in Hailey.

“I want to expose, educate and give people a place to come enjoy this terrific sport. I want to get everybody in here,” Acker said, about a client base that includes everyone from hunters and archery champions to families, kids in need, folks

with disabilities, and the very popular Ladies Nights, which have 70 members on the email list and always ends with a glass—or two— of wine.

Located between The Mint and the Town Pump in a building that dates back to the 1800s, the space has been beautifully renovated.

Last used as an accountant’s office, Flight is now an open studio with rustic charm and good energy. It’s also home to yoga classes taught by local instructors like Sarah Murphy and is a great spot for events of various kinds.

“I’m really happy with the way it turned out,” Acker said, pointing out elements like the exposed brick walls, which have withstood several fires over the years, and the fir trim that was saved and now brightens the back walls with a variety of colors.

Acker is relatively new to archery, but has quickly embraced the fun competitiveness of a sport

that is open to a wide variety of physical abilities or limitations.

She has also been impressed with how the archery community has embraced her. Of course, the fact that within a few years of taking up the sport she started winning contests didn’t hurt any either.

“As we get older, we can’t compete the way we once did,” said Acker, a former tennis, diving, gymnastics, skiing, and swimming instructor. “But I can do this and do it competitively for a long time.”

Acker was inspired in large part to open Flight because she wanted the Wood River Valley to enjoy the same type of archery community

This Chamber Corner is brought to you by the Hailey Chamber of Commerce.

that is thriving in places like Boise and Twin Falls.

“People started asking me for help or lessons and there was nowhere to shoot,” she said, explaining that she’d been working with the City of Hailey for a while to find a good location. “Things point you in a certain direction and you get little hints along the way. In a nutshell, I know this is what I’m supposed to do.”

It certainly looks like opening Flight Archery at 120 S. Main St. has hit the bull’s-eye.

no bones about it

know I’m going out on a shaky limb but I did not love Pixar Animations Studio’s 15th feature “Inside Out” nearly as much as the throng of critics that named it the best movie of the year and the legion of audiences that shouted its praises.

Although wildly original and imbued with a fair amount of that Pixar magic, I have to admit I found the plot to be somewhat complicated and wondered how it would make sense to kids of all

ages. But maybe I’m just a stickin-the-mud – I thought “Mad Max: Fury Road” was far and away the best film of the summer.

What I will say is that “Inside Out” has brilliant casting for the voices. Co-directed by Pete Docter (Up) and Ronaldo Del Carmen, the story follows 11-yearold Riley, from the inside and the outside, as she nears puberty and deals with the traumatic move with her parents from her beloved Minnesota to a dump of a house in San Francisco. That move sends her emotions into turmoil.

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

Most of the film is centered on those animated emotions housed at headquarters and voiced to perfection by Amy Poehler (Joy), Bill Hader (Fear), Lewis Black (Anger), Mindy Kaling (Disgust) and Phyllis Smith (Sadness). Here they deal with core memories while Joy tries to keep Sadness at bay and from not touching anything. When Joy and Sadness are accidentally sucked through the tube where memories go, all heck breaks loose.

Desperately trying to get back to headquarters, they traverse an

j u LY 29, 2015

alien land known as Where LongTerm Memories Go. This happens while Riley’s islands – Family, Hockey and Friendship – start to crumble. Meanwhile, the remaining emotions decide that the best solution is for Riley to run away from home and back to Minnesota.

In the end, peace is restored and Sadness shows that she is an important part of the integral whole.

“Inside Out” definitely breaks new ground, just not to the acclaim that it has received. tws

Mission Critical: Protecting Our Honey Bees

In recent decades, honey bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate. The number of managed honey bee colonies in the United States has dropped from 6 million to 2.5 million since the 1940s. Experts say many factors – including mite infestations, loss of habitat, pesticide exposure and industrial farming practices like mono-cropping – are to blame.

Efforts to protect our bees are underway. In May, the White House announced a new plan to promote pollinator health that includes reducing some pesticide use and planting pollinator-friendly gardens on federal grounds. But honey bee advocates fear that it isn’t enough.

An estimated one-third of food produced in North America – including nearly 100 varieties of fruits and 16 vegetables – depends on bees and other pollinators. Honey bees increase our nation’s crop values by more than $15 billion each year. According to the U.S. government, reduced honey bee populations pose a serious threat to domestic agriculture and food security.

Local beekeeper Tom Harned, owner of Five Bee Hives, has seen the honey bee struggles firsthand. He says he’ll visit a healthy hive, and two weeks

Sego Lily (Calochortus nuttallii)

love any plant that has a delicate and lacy appearance and the Sego lily fits right into that description. The stem is slight and grows to around 10 inches tall. What always amazes me is that this slight stem can support one to three flowers. It is lovely to see a meadow dotted with Sego lilies gently swaying in the breeze on their dainty stems.

As I sit to draw the Sego lily, I study the stem, leaf, and petal arrangement. The stems are slender with a few grass-like leaves. The flower has three white petals arranged like a very loose tulip.

The petals have a lilac spot in the center with a soft green stripe leading from the spot to the heart of the flower. As I sketch, I also see some Sego lilies with soft, lilac-colored petals.

Calochortus comes from the Greek word “kalos,” which means beautiful. “Chortos” is Greek for grass and refers to the shape of the leaves.

“Sego” is a Shoshone Indian word for edible bulb.

The plant has an onion-shaped bulb, which was roasted, baked or boiled. The bulbs were also treasured by the early pioneer settlers who felt they tasted like potatoes.

The white of the petals glint in the summer sun, catching the light and reflecting the brightness as the breeze pushes the heads of the flowers back and forth. The stem is so delicate that the flowers dip, touching the ground as if bowing to the

later, all the bees are dead. But there are things we can do to help protect our pollinators.

Steer clear of home garden products containing neonicotinoids – imidacloprid, clothianidin, thiamethoxam and dinotafuran – a widely used class of insecticides that are toxic to honey bees and other pollinators, and ask your landscaper to do the same.

Plant a pollinator-friendly garden to grow their foraging habitat and encourage businesses and cities to do the same. Choose a variety of native plants that flower at different times of the year.

Buy local honey to help support our beekeepers’ efforts to create vital hives.

Introduced in March, the Saving America’s Pollinators Act calls for the suspension of neonicotinoids until a full scientific review and field study indicate they are safe and not harmful to pollinators.

‘Spelling Bee’ At The Spot

wednesday july 29-August 9

7:30PM / 220 Lewis Street / Ketchum “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” will be in Ketchum’s spotlight for 10 performances, with only 60 seats per show to maintain an intimate theatrical experience. The Tony Award-winning musical comedy tells the tale of six idiosyncratic adolescents who compete to be the Putnam County spelling champ.

The cast stars Brett Moellenberg, Megan Mahoney, Sam Brown, Tara Burchmore, Alec England and Yanna Lantz as the spellers, and features Matt Gorby, Karen Nelsen and Kevin Wade as the Bee’s orchestrators. For director and cast member Wade, the biggest challenge of the production has been “getting through rehearsal without laughing too hard.”

Tickets are $20 and can be found at spotsunvalley.com. The Spot sold out every performance of “Next to Normal” this past January, so it is not guaranteed tickets will be available at the door.

Valley of Peace Lutheran Church August 3 – 7 from 9 am to noon

New York Times bestselling author and National Geographic Fellow Dan Buettner will present “Blue Zones: The Secrets of a Long Life” at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. Buettner is one of St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation’s featured Health and Wellness Speakers for 2015. The event is free to the community.

Buettner teamed up with National Geographic and leading population scientists to identify pockets around the globe where people live measurably longer and measurably better. After identifying these Blue Zones, Buettner and National Geographic took teams of scientists to each location to identify lifestyle characteristics that might explain longevity. What began as a National Geographic expedition to find the longest living cultures evolved into a recipe for living longer. In his talk, Buettner will share the common diet and lifestyle habits that keep Blue Zone inhabitants spry past age 100. For more information, call Kristin McMahon at 208-727-8419.

Once In A Blue Moon

friday july 31

Nightfall / The Wood River Valley Sky On Friday, July 31 we will have a full blue moon in the sign of Aquarius. This cosmic event is unprecedented–it’s truly a month of transitions. One of the most special aspects of this moon is that we won’t have another blue moon month until 2018.

“Because of Venus, the planet of love, going retrograde a week prior to this moon, there will be a heavy connection to romantic relationships,” Kate Rose said. “This isn’t about just any sort of love though–it’s about the kind of love that comes around only once in a blue moon.”

The Sagebrush Soiree

Meet Willie!

6PM / Fisher Creek Ranch / Stanley The Sawtooth Society’s annual fundraiser, the Sagebrush Soiree, will take place on Saturday at Fisher Creek Ranch. This year’s theme, “Boots and Bling,” will be an evening of rustic elegance including cocktails and dinner.

In addition, the Soiree will feature live bluegrass music along with the gala’s silent and live auctions with items ranging from getaways to Provence, France, and Corsica, Spain, to incredible river trips and featured artwork by nationally known artists. Tickets are $200 per person and both table and event sponsorships are available.

“Every year this incredible gathering of people from throughout Central Idaho and across the nation comes together for this very fun and high-energy event,” said Sawtooth Society Executive Director Gary O’Malley. “In part, its popularity is due to the array of unique and one-of-a-kind live and silent auction items provided by our generous donors, but it is also because attendees know that all of the proceeds go to helping the Society help the Sawtooth NRA–an area we all love. I would encourage everyone who cares about the Sawtooth NRA to attend–in your cowboy boots if you have some.”

For tickets and information, or to place an absentee bid, call 208-721-2909 or email gary@sawtoothsociety.org.

Willie is an eager fellow who is ready to show you what a loving companion he can be. He is outgoing, affectionate, and enjoys time with other dogs. Come meet this handsome guy today!

Blaine County Noxious Weeds

Don’t Wish Upon This Star “Yellow Starthistle”

BY THE BLAINE BUG CREW

A

s you are out walking, enjoying the peaceful amenities of Mother Nature, you pause to admire a cheerful yellow bloom. You take a step closer, then a feeling of horror comes over you, realizing this plant is not as benign as it once seemed to be. Wicked

spines, longer than your thumbnail, are stretching outward to impale you. You gasp, and start to tumble back, but it’s too late.

You’ve been pricked by this femme fatale of the plant world.

The yellow starthistle has not yet dug her spiny bracts into southern Idaho, and we want help to keep it that way.

To keep southern Idaho free

from the yellow starthistle’s treacherous embrace, here is a description of it to help you identify it.

Yellow starthistle is an herbaceous annual. Large specimens are capable of producing 100,000 seeds, which will remain viable for a decade.

Flowers bloom July through October, and seed disperses by late August. The starthistle deploys two kinds of seeds: plumed seeds are a mottled tan and brown and grow in the center of the f lower head; non-plumed seeds are black in color and occur around the

periphery of the f lower head.

Stems grow between 60-120 cm tall. Basal leaves are lobed while upper leaves are linear and attach to the stem with wings. It is found in disturbed areas, like hayfields, orchards, and abandoned places.

Six insects and one rust have been released as biological control agents – the most successful being the Ceratopion Bascicorne, a root-crown weevil – for this plant in the Western U.S., with varying levels of impact. These agents cannot exterminate starthistle on their own. To successfully eradicate

this noxious weed, we need your help. If you identify this plant, please notify Bronwyn Nickel at the Blaine County Weed Department at 788-5560.

YOU CAN FIND IT IN BLAINE! DeaDwooD TRee ReMoVaL LLC A veteran owned & operated company.
