Mountain Rides to receive free buses

Acquisition could aid local bus system with extension of services

By Terry Smith

n the near future, Mountain Rides Transportation Authority will add three commuter buses to its 18-vehicle fleet—free of charge—courtesy of the Utah Transit Authority. The only cost to Mountain Rides will be $3,646 for the bus tires. The bus giveaway is possible because the Utah Transit Authority buses were purchased 10 years ago with 80 percent funding from the Federal Transit Administration, the same federal agency that provides funding to Mountain Rides for operations and capital purchases. The buses still have about five years of service left in them, which means that the FTA still has a financial interest. Mountain Rides Executive Director Jason Miller explained in a recent interview that the FTA prefers that its financial interest in federally funded equipment be transferred, if necessary, to other bus agencies within the FTA funding network. The three buses are 2005 29-foot Optima commuter bus models that were purchased new for about $264,000 apiece. Miller said a price has not been determined for the current value of the buses, but that for Mountain Rides to purchase similar buses of similar age would cost the organization about $40,000 per vehicle. He said purchasing three new buses to add to the Mountain Rides fleet would cost close to $1 million. 4

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

The three buses are part of a 20-Optima-bus purchase Utah Transit made in 2005, with funding from FTA, that no longer meet the needs of the Utah agency. W. Steve Meyer, chief capital development officer for Utah Transit, wrote in a 2012 letter to FTA that “given UTA’s current route configuration and ridership, these buses have less-than-optimal seating for

current demand” and are often placed out of service and “underutilized.” According to the Meyer letter, 10 of the Optima buses were provided in a lease arrangement in 2013 to the University of Utah for free service throughout the main campus of the University Medical Center. The other 10 buses remained unclaimed until Utah Transit was contacted in 2014 by Pocatello Regional Transit, which needed only seven of the buses and invited Mountain Rides to join the deal for the remaining three. Miller said acquisition of the three buses will allow Mountain Rides to remove two expensive-to-maintain 20-yearold buses from service and will give Mountain Rides an additional bus for possible direct service to Friedman Memorial

Airport or north to Galena. “We will continue to improve our fleet with these three buses,” Miller said. “They’re not newer than new, but they’re newer than some of the ones they’ll be replacing. It will be better for our passengers, better for our overall fleet and better for adding other services.” Miller said he doesn’t know when the buses will be available for use in Blaine County. “It could be a few weeks; it could be a few months,” he said. “It’s all bureaucracy and red tape at this point, but it should be within a couple of months.” With its current fleet of 18 buses, Mountain Rides provides free bus service in the Ketchum-Sun Valley area and in Hailey. The organization provides paid fare service on its Valley Route that operates between the Bellevue-Hailey area and the Ketchum-Sun Valley area. Ridership continues to grow with Mountain Rides, surpassing more than 500,000 single rides in 2014 for the first time in the organization’s history. Utah Transit Authority, incorporated as a state entity in 1970, currently operates more than 600 buses and paratransit vehicles, 400 vanpools, 146 light rail vehicles, 63 commuter rail cars and 18 locomotives in a 1,600-square-mile service area running from south of Salt Lake City north to Brigham City. “It’s great to have an agency like UTA that’s helping their neighbors in Idaho,” Miller said. tws

Blaine County School District Superintendent GwenCarol Holmes.

School board changes superintendent contract protocol Holmes has only one year remaining on two-year contract BY TERRY SMITH

n June 30 GwenCarol Holmes ended her first year as head of the Blaine County School District. Now, as Holmes enters her second year as district superintendent, she has only one year remaining on her contract, whereas in the past district superintendents have typically worked with two-three years of contract remaining. That’s not to imply that the district board of trustees is unhappy with Holmes’ performance. “We appreciate all the hard work she’s been doing,” board chairman Shawn Bennion said at a May 12 meeting of the board of trustees, when it was announced that an evaluation of Holmes’ performance had been completed. “We’re extremely grateful for all the hard work she has put into the district, and we look forward to working with her in the future,” Bennion said. At that time, there was public expectation that the contract would be extended, at least for one more year. But Bennion said instead that the board will not consider a contract extension until January of 2016. Normally in Idaho, school superintendents are hired with three-year contracts and each year a new year is added, a process often referred to as “rolling over.” That process provides that a school superintendent always has from two to three years of contract remaining. The change in the Blaine County School District came about because of the buyout of former Superintendent Lon

nie Barber, who had almost 33 months remaining on his contract when the board terminated it in September of 2013. A settlement agreement with Barber for lost wages and unused money from his benefit package ended up costing the district $600,000. At the May 12 meeting, Bennion explained that the twoyear fixed contract for Holmes is a “dramatic change from the way it’s been done before in the Blaine County School District and the state of Idaho.” Rob Winslow, executive director for the Idaho Association of School Administrators, told The Weekly Sun in an interview Monday that a three-year contract with a new year added each year is the norm for school superintendents in the state. Nonetheless, he said that arrangement is not required by law and there are exceptions that occur, particularly when a district goes through an expensive buyout of a superintendent’s contract such as occurred in 2013 in Blaine County. “What you saw there with that incident is that a board might get nervous,” Winslow said. Holmes said in an interview Friday that she does not have a problem with the two-year fixed contract and she is confident that it will be extended. “That was the terms I accepted when I accepted the job there, so I’m fine with it,” she said. “I think people are generally pleased with what we’re doing here.” Holmes was hired with an annual salary of $168,000, which is slightly higher than was Barber’s annual salary of $165,000. tws

Writers’ Conference Starts This Week By P.M. Fadden

ith Allen and Co. and the business moguls now mainly gone, Sun Valley Resort is gearing up for a more literary crowd as the Resort plays host starting Friday to the 21st Annual Sun Valley Writers’ Conference. The four-day event, from July 17-20, brings together some 18 national and international writers who are notable as Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winners and as masters in the fields of fiction, non-fiction, journalism, filmmaking and poetry. The conference will feature talks, discussions, films and theatrical performances by award-winning writers. Masters of their crafts will speak before audiences of up to 1,000 at the Sun Valley Pavilion or will converse with small groups in intimate settings. This year’s festivities include a keynote address by Robert Gates, a former CIA director and U.S.

defense secretary. Also signed up to attend is Boise-based author Anthony Doerr. Conference Executive Director Robin Eidsmo said the Wood River Valley is an ideal setting as a get-together for such a prolific group of accomplished writers.

to interact with more seasoned professionals in the field, while for seasoned veterans the conference can be an escape from the usual book tour and a chance to connect on a more personal level with other writers and readers. “This year we are expecting in

We are particularly excited about our program this year and are looking forward to welcoming this group of authors to the Valley for what will certainly be an unforgettable weekend.” Robin Eidsmo Executive Director “The character and hospitality of the mountain community here in the Wood River Valley permeates the conference and is a part of what draws our presenters to take time out of their busy schedules to come to Idaho to share their love of literature with our participants,” Eidsmo said. “For newer authors, we provide a chance to become known to a group of voracious readers and

excess of 1,100 people to come to hear the presentations, and that number does not take into account our wonderful volunteers and staff who also get to be a part of our four-day event,” Eidsmo said. “In addition, we sold more than 500 single event tickets to nine pavilion talks, which were primarily purchased by locals to whom we offered an advance sale.”

The Lineup 2015 Speakers Include: • Peter Bergen, journalist, documentary film producer, and expert on al-Qaeda • Jill Bialosky, poet, novelist, and publishing executive • Anthony Doerr, award-winning Boise-based novelist • Sheri Fink, Pulitzer Prize-winning medical reporter for The New York Times • Richard Ford, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist • Alexandra Fuller, memoirist and Wyoming-based journalist • Robert Gates, Keynote speaker, former U.S. Defense Secretary and former CIA Director • Sarah Koenig, host and co-creator of Serial podcast • Beth Macy, Roanoke-based journalist and author • James McBride, National Book Award winner and jazz saxophonist • Dinaw Mengestu, Ethiopian-born writer and MacArthur Fellow • Mary Norris, author, grammar expert, and copy editor for The New Yorker • Hank Paulson, former U.S. Treasury Secretary and Goldman Sachs CEO • Mary Roach, humorist and science writer • Stacy Schiff, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer • Hampton Sides, historian, journalist, and Outside Magazine editor • Mona Simpson, award-winning novelist, story writer, and essayist • Lawrence Wright, Pulitzer Prize-winning staff writer at The New Yorker 6

Hosting its 21st annual melding of literary minds, SVWC brings 18 award-winning speakers to Sun Valley Resort and Pavilion over July 17th thru 20th.

Eidsmo advised early ticket purchases because some events have already been sold out and for others “availability is shrinking fast.” She further reported that some “1,500 tickets have been sold out in record time,” Nonetheless, Eidsmo said seats remain open for “lauded” U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey, who speaks Monday, July 20, at 12 p.m. Seats for that presentation are $35. As a non-profit organization, the Sun Valley Writers’ Confer-

ence is offering free entry to students and teachers. Additional information is available at svwc.com. The Sun Valley Writers’ Conference hopes to “sustain its literary and hospitality standard” for the four-day event. “With attendance numbers rising for both talent and audience guests, SVWC will hope to sustain its consideration as the literary event of the year,” the organizers stated in a press release. tws

Wood River High School graduate Alexandra Begley.

Alexandra Begley A Writer’s Touch

By Jonathan Kane

lexandra Begley has found that while adversity can be painful, it can also be a time of personal growth and life enrichment. Perhaps being a writer was always in her blood, but her passion for words and putting them down on paper was ignited when she turned to reading and writing while her mother was terminally ill. Begley, who graduated with a 3.5 GPA this spring from Wood River High School, plans to attend Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash., where she has declared an English major and is considering a dual major in mass communication. “I love to write,” Begley said. “Being a writer is all I ever wanted to be.” Begley’s mother was terminally ill while Begley was attending Wood River Middle School. Begley says the “whole experience made me want to write. She was sick for three years and during that whole time my family was really stressed, so I ended up reading a lot of books, “I decided I wanted to be there for people the way these writers were there for me at that time. My favorites were Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde and Stephen Chbosky, who wrote ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower.’ I also loved children’s stories like ‘Peter Pan’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and poetry from Edgar Allan Poe. “My brother was the one that recommended Oscar Wilde. His novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Grey,’ is my all-time favorite. It made me look at why I do the things I do and my motivation. I haven’t looked at the world the same way after I read it.” Begley said she had dabbled in writing since the age of 9, but didn’t start writing seriously until she was in the sixth grade.

“I would write something differently every time, basically poetry and school essays,” She said. Today, Begley “dreams of writing a novel.” “I don’t feel confident enough right now but I make a lot of notes of things I could write about,” she said. “I do journal every day as well and I feel that I am getting better all the time. I don’t think I will begin my true journey of being a writer until next year at Whitmore.” Begley used her senior project last summer not just to meet a graduation requirement but also to further her writing ambitions. She spent two months as an intern at the Idaho Mountain Express. Assignments included compiling the paper’s calendar, assisting reporters, working in production and helping write an editorial. “I feel like it went really well,” Begley said, “especially working with production, which turned out to be as interesting as writing; dealing with things like formatting and newspaper and how it’s changed over the years and they gave me a lot of interesting books on graphic design, It’s all becoming a surprisingly crucial part of the editing process for me.” Begley was also allowed to assist with editorial writing, which she described as the most enjoyable experience she had at the paper, involving the most in-depth writing. “It was about how Idaho needs to bring their college graduates back to the state because most don’t come back,” she said. “All the other articles I wrote were simple and not very challenging.” She also noted that journalists tend to be a rather diverse group and that many of them have their own writing projects going on outside of work, be it writing biographies, poetry, screenplays or even novels.

alie Wright, who describes herself as a “down-home girl from Idaho,” is ready to take her talents to a national stage by competing in the 2015 Miss America Pageant on Sept. 13 in Atlantic City, N.J. Wright, a 22-year-old Twin Falls native, believes it is long past time that Idaho brought home the prestigious crown of Miss America.

I’m a down-home girl from Idaho taking part in an amazing sisterhood of women.” Kalie Wright, Miss Idaho 2015 “Seventy-one years have passed since the Gem State last cracked the top 15 of any national competition,” Wright said in a recent interview. However, win or not, even appearing in the pageant represents success and is a tribute to the hard work put into the endeavor by Wright and her supporters. While some contestants enlist vast teams to aid them in preparation for the pageant, Wright relies instead on only the steadfast support and know-how of her mother and her grandmother, who have served in the background in Wright’s quest for beauty pageant success. “You’re more likely to have a son in the Super Bowl than a daughter in Miss America,” said mother Shelly Wright. “So this is pretty special.” Kalie Wright’s Miss America journey began at local and state levels and her pageant portfolio includes nine previous pageant appearances in Miss Magic Valley, Miss America’s Sweetheart and Miss Idaho. The nationally televised 2015 Miss America pageant gathers representatives from 50 states and two federal territories. The women introduce themselves through 10-minute pre-pageant interviews before showcasing,

over one week, their abilities in talent, lifestyle and fitness, evening gown and on-stage Q&A. “The talent portion factors most heavily into a contestant’s standing,” said Kalie Wright, who will demonstrate her singing and musical skills. “But really, it’s a combination of so many things; your poise, general knowledge, awareness of current events. Your training stems from all the events and experiences that have made up your life. “The experience should be a perception-altering step upon a larger life journey,” she said. “It’s about breaking boundaries. “My pageant platform is ‘United We Stand’,” she said. “Through my competition appearances I raise monies for programs like Operation De-

ployment, a non-profit that a friend and I have begun, which supports U.S. troops posted overseas with care packages from home.” Kalie Wright has organized private donations, facilitating the posting of several hundred care packages to servicemen overseas. Each package contains toiletries, non-perishable food items, games, writing materials and a personal letter. With her help, Operation Deployment will post an additional 300 care packages this year. “Resources for these pageants and the charities that stem from them vary state to state,” Wright said. “A focal point now is growing resources necessary to continue both my pageantry bid as well as Operation Deployment efforts. “This whole experience has been about pursuing that period of growth. “Miss America is a company of women who are changing the world,” Wright added. “I believe that change is possible through contestant advocacy. Pageantry has helped to fund my education and, as Miss Idaho I am now ambassador to organizations like Children’s Miracle Network. “Competing in these pageants has helped to confirm a confidence within myself,” she said. “My pageant experiences will help me professionally to pursue a future career, my interests and also continue to help those in need.” Visit: Op.Deploy at facebook. com to learn more about support options for Kalie Wright and her charity drive. tws

Carley Baird

Heritage Court Honoree By Dick Dorworth

arley Baird’s roots in Blaine County are long and extensive, dating back to a time when the pioneer lifestyle was still the norm for survival in the rugged Pioneer Mountains near Carey. Baird, now 86, was the 2015 Blaine County Fair Board nominee to the Blaine County Historical Museum Heritage Court. Through the years, she has been a homesteader, farmer, rancher, singer, seamstress, painter and conservationist. Baird’s story starts in the Midwest during the Great Depression of the 1930s. She was born in Missouri but later moved to Kansas while her father struggled to feed his family for $1 a day during the Depression. But as with many who were able to escape the Depression-era Dust Bowl of the Midwest, Baird’s father eventually found work elsewhere and at the age of 7, Baird was brought to Idaho, originally living in a oneroom shack near Murtaugh. Later, her father was able to afford a small ranch in the Richfield area. At Richfield High School, Baird met Ray Baird, who was four years older than her. The couple was married soon after

her graduation and has remained that way for 67 years. The Bairds ended up with a 30-acre farm in Carey and with cattle and sheep operations on a homestead at Fish Creek in the Pioneer Mountains. They were able to make a life together, supplemented by Ray Baird’s work as a welder at the atomic plant east of Arco. (The atomic plant is now known as the Idaho National Laboratory.) The Bairds prospered enough to raise six sons: Dave, Rick, Gary, Jack, Brock and Kim. Two of the sons still live in Carey: Brock, working with his father; and Rick, a former Carey mayor who remains manager of Friedman Memorial Airport, While Ray Baird was welding, Carley Baird took care of the land holdings by milking cows, irrigating fields and tending a large garden. After work, she participated in local choirs and sang solo at weddings, funerals and social events. She became an extraordinary seamstress, painted landscapes of the Pioneer Mountains and made sure that the seven male members of her family were well fed, clothed, nurtured and that they made it to work, school football games, track meets and camping trips on time.

Carley and Ray Baird are also well-known for their land conservation work. In 2007, they joined the Pioneer Alliance, a coalition of ranchers, local residents, conservationists, public land managers and elected officials, that works to conserve the working lands and wildlands of the Pioneer-Craters region of south central Idaho. In 2014, Lisa Eller, of Conservation Connections, wrote of meeting the Bairds in the living room of their Carey home. “The room is decorated wall to wall in photographs and paintings depicting their life in and around the Pioneer Mountains,” Eller wrote. “The two have dedicated their lives to caring for a remote part of the Pioneers, and, as the Bairds like to say, their stewardship of it is less about making a living and more about preserving a way of life. This year they ensured the land would continue to be cared for by signing a conservation agreement to prevent its future development.” Regardless of a long and illustrious life, Carley Baird has not let her 86 years slow her down. She is still singing, painting, sewing, gardening, enjoying the Courtesy photo beauty of Idaho’s landscape and Carley Baird is a mother, wife, farmer, rancher, painter, singer and now is even making plans to travel a Blaine County Heritage Court honoree. little. tws

Investigative News

the weekly scene

our

By Brennan Rego

his week, I’m pleased to announce that we’ve introduced an Investigative News section to The Weekly Sun (pages 4-5 of this issue). Since The Sun’s inception in November 2008, the newspaper has largely focused on positive news coverage and light features. The Sun has fulfilled a great role in our community in that regard. However, in order to provide the Wood River Valley with the very best, balanced, local journalism possible, I’ve decided to widen The Sun’s spectrum of coverage to include some so-called “harder” news stories. In this world and in our community, there are good, bad, ugly and beautiful occurrences. That’s life. For a news source to report only the good and ignore the tough stuff is irresponsible journalism, as it distorts our overall understanding of what is going on. The opposite is also true. My goal at The Sun is to accurately report the Valley’s goings on to our readers each week, good, bad, ugly or beautiful. The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) states the following in the preamble to its Code of Ethics: “Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. Ethical journalism strives to ensure the free exchange of information that is accurate, fair and thorough. An ethical journalist acts with integrity.” The four fundamental principles of SPJ’s Code of Ethics are “Seek Truth and Report It,” “Minimize Harm,” “Act Independently” and “Be Accountable and Transparent.” In other words, ethical journalism should dig out and report important facts for the purpose of elevating the greater good. And, ethical news sources should not be swayed financially or otherwise or report anonymously. As The Sun continues to evolve, we will follow the SPJ Code of Ethics in our pursuit of providing factual, high-quality coverage of the Valley, for the Valley. Adding investigative stories to our roster will allow us to paint with a full palette an accurate picture of the Valley’s happenings. Stay tuned as we continue to develop The Sun to meet today’s local news demands in the Valley. Also, if you have a suggestion for what we should investigate next, email me at brennan@theweeklysun. com and let me know what we should shed some sunshine on!

had a wonderful conversation this past week with Cyndi DuFur on her KDPI show, “Talk of the Town,” concerning the joys of living here in the Wood River Valley, teaching, being involved in the performing and other arts, keeping busy in semi-retirement, and about my writing process in particular. After the show I received some fresh insight into what I love to read and write: first I discussed with my summer school class their final writing assignment (regarding American literature of the ’60s), encouraging them to be highly specific about what they had learned through this summer’s reading and discussion. One student’s phrase imagining the decision he might make if drafted to fight in Vietnam used the words “heading right to the battlefield” rather Courtesy photo than the more JoEllen Collins—a longtime general expres- resident of the Wood River sion “going to Valley—is a teacher, writer, war.” I applaud fabric artist, choir member that kind of and unabashedly proud specificity. Then grandma known as “Bibi Jo.” I read Dick Dorworth’s article about writing in the July 8th’s The Weekly Sun, admiring his professionalism as a columnist and writer of several published books. These three events crystallized my respect for and wish to be like so many of the great artists I have observed in every aspect of creativity. I believe the ability to really SEE, to observe, often with excruciating concentration, the components of one’s art, is what differentiates the great from the good. I hesitate to note that I am merely a dilettante. I enjoy dabbling in many of the arts, thus mastering none (though never bored). As a sickly child I spent much of my time in bed in a world of imagination, creating countries out of my dolls and quilts. I don’t remember a time in my life when I was without a radio, book, pen, colored pencils and paper, or sketchbook. Much later, after a fire that incinerated my home, I replaced my weaving loom with small patches of fabric I could take anywhere to record my family’s life in small appliqué pieces. They were themed by vivid colors that would organize my recollections for a memoir I started at the same time. I began looking very closely at the images and items that I adored for their colors and thus could recreate through them the full sensory memories of my life, such as my mother’s red lipstick and nails, the Malibu sunsets or the vivid blues of the Aegean sea. When I heard author Anne Lamott share how she always pocketed a small notepad, I started carrying one, soon recording the immediate observed lively details that make writing memorable. We relate to sensory feelings of a place and time even though we’ve never been there. So, the plein air painter who sees the unique shadow on the tip of a tree, the sculptor who captures the hint of an unnoticed smile, the ballet dancer who memorizes every move and yet can incorporate the light lift of a leaf falling, the musician who hears the beauty in a pale note, all of these share in a blessed artistic process! tws 13

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR july 15 FRom picabo angleR

ummer continues to pass with one odd weather system after another. This has certainly had an effect on the fishing, although not in a negative way; we just need to get used to seeing things like Tricos at 2:00 p.m. or Callibaetis at 7:30 a.m. How about Pink Alberts on the South Fork before Salmonflies? The only predictable thing happening right now is the unpredictability. This in turn has really made for a fun year. The right place at the right time is a mantra all anglers should adopt right now. The only way to overcome all this unpredictability is to stay on the water all day and at least half the night. There are worse things! When the summer weather does act normal, plan on Tricos on Silver Creek mixed with PMD and Baetis. This event happens when the air temps hit 70 degrees. Be on the Creek early for the day’s best Mayfly activity. If you plan to stay past lunch, the best hatch of the season continues to be the Damselfly. Look for windbreaks behind the cattails and weed patches sticking up, with trout stacking up behind them. On our freestone streams, the Big Wood and Upper Lost, expect to fish small attractors and cover lots of water. The morning activity has the most bugs, but fish will come the surface all day. Really concentrate on the banks and shaded zones when the sun is high. The South Fork of the Boise continues to be a head scratcher, with Salmonflies reported to Indian Rock, but not much above. By the time of this writing (and reading), expect the Salmonflies to be somewhere between Indian Rock and the dam. Pink Alberts have started in the afternoon, although the intensity still needs to build to get the fish feeding on them. The Little Wood continues to fish very well above the reservoir. Big attractors are the way to go when the sun isn’t on the water. Scale back a few sizes if you are fishing midday. A few quick words on our guide staff: We believe in putting the angling public first at Picabo Angler. With that said, you can be sure that none of our guides can be found repeatedly hitting the same spots daily. We want to share great fishing with everyone! Like our guides always say – guiding is a skill set, not a spot. Happy Fishing Everyone!

Dog Relationships Take Time

BY FRAN JEWELL

ow simple life would be if our dog would just like every dog and person they meet. But, the reality is that, just like people, most dogs need to learn to trust each other. Once in a while there is a dog out there that just loves everyone and every dog immediately. But, the fact is more dogs need to have time to learn to trust other dogs – and people, too! Somewhere along the way we have begun to believe that every dog must be outgoing and social, and that they need to play with other dogs. But, each and every dog is different. Many dogs will make friendships with other dogs, but chances are they need to have slow, unpressured meetings with another dog until they can build trust. Just like people, we need time to get to know someone before we share our feelings or even personal information. Dogs need to feel safe during that time that they are getting to know another dog. They need to feel like they know you will protect them from harm or even attack from another dog through your leadership, just like a child trusts you as a parent to keep them safe. A dog that has been attacked by another dog may need even longer to develop trust for a new, potential dog friend. And sometimes dogs that have been previously attacked may find it almost impossible to make new dog friends at all. Forcing a dog that is already sensitive into interactions with other dogs in the name of “socialization” usually won’t solve the problem.

A dog that places its head over the shoulders of another dog can often represent very uncomfortable dog behavior. In this case, the Labrador has no issues with the puppy doing this behavior. They have had time to trust each other and now accept this as play.

When we send a dog off to social events, we expect him to immediately wag his tail and enjoy the fun. And, honestly, this is our human need, not the reality of most dogs. As humans, when our dogs get along with all dogs and all people, our responsibility for the emotional safety of our dog lessens. We can then talk on the phone or text. We can chat with someone we meet on the trail and never give a second thought about what our dog is doing because we believe they are engrossed in eager play. The problem arises when we don’t see the signals that our dog gives us telling us that this is really uncomfortable for them. We

miss the whale eye, or the slight lip curl. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a brawl happens, and we don’t understand WHY that happened, when all along the dog was telling us, “PLEASE! Get me out of here! I am not comfortable!” Instead of taking the time to read the dog’s only language, we are oblivious to their needs and then we are surprised when the dog reacts with a fearful and aggressive response. They key is to understand that dogs need time to trust other dogs to build relationships. We also need to learn to see the signs that our dog is uncomfortable and respond accordingly, letting them know they are safe and we

will protect them through our kind leadership. Learning dog language and leadership is a gift you can give to your dog. Dog language is not always as it would appear to us humans. Having patience to allow for gradual and controlled interactions can be the kindest socialization you can provide.

The Advocates ETC

Pay Attention; We Are All Part of the Solution to Ending Violence

have been interning with The Advocates for a year and a half, and the biggest thing I have learned from them is that you don’t always need to do something huge in order to intervene in a potentially unsafe situation. The Advocates have taught me that sometimes just dropping your books or talking about a video game can stop a bullying or harassment scenario from happening. I know now that those seemingly little examples can make a powerful difference to someone. This internship has changed me in immense ways. It has allowed me to reflect and see that sometimes what I do – or don’t do – as a bystander can cause or add to a potential act of violence or, as the Green Dot program calls it, a “red dot” moment. I am more observant and aware of the non-verbal signs when assessing potential red dot situations; body language, a blank stare, or a slight, uncomfortable twitch of-

ten says more than words. This internship has allowed me to grow in my community and as an active bystander. My advice to other teens and adults is to pay attention to your surroundings and remember that in order to end sexual assault, bullying, or any interpersonal violence, we need to all do our part. Call the police, ask for help, or even confront the situation. Be an active bystander. The only way Green Dot is going to stay in our community is if it keeps spreading and people continue to utilize the method. I know I will take everything The Advocates has taught me to college. It is important to me to continue to spread the word about Green Dot and show people how to safely intervene. I have already found an organization on my campus that is similar to The Advocates, and I cannot wait to see what they have to offer for a safer campus. I have seen the change that Green Dot

It’s Easy To Support The Connection BY MIKE MCKENNA

ost of us never really think about getting old. Even though we see our friends and family age, we don’t realize it’s happening to us, too. We seem to think we’re more like Methuselah and will practically live forever. Getting old, however, even for the well prepared, can be hard. It can be lonely and challenging, and that’s why we need to support places like The Connection. “We touch the lives of 150 or more people every day,” said Kimberly Coonis, executive director of The Connection. The Connection (which has dropped the “Senior” from its title) has roots back to the ’70s in the old Miner’s Hall, but it’s been in its current location, overlooking the Hailey rodeo grounds, since 1982. Coonis’s original relationship with The Connection began by volunteering as a Meals–On-Wheels driver. She now runs the place and its ever-growing list of programs. Coonis was inspired to get into the field of senior care after watching her mother help her grandmother get through the last 15 years of her life. “Family caregiving is the

hardest job you can do. It’s emotionally and financially draining,” said Coonis. That’s why The Connection offers education and support classes for caregivers, as well as the Meals-On-Wheels program, in-home care, transportation, and their popular café, which is open to the public. “People need help. They need a place to be and we provide that for them,” Coonis said. “We care for people all over the county.” The Connection has grown from just a few staffers and basic services to over 30 employees and a laundry list of programs for seniors and disabled citizens. And more growth for the nonprofit is on the horizon. “People are living longer and seniors (65 and older) are the fastest growing population in the country,” said Coonis. “So we need to keep people healthy, and physically and socially active.” Perhaps the biggest challenge for The Connection is funding. While people readily give to causes supporting kids or pets, seniors often get overlooked. Barely over 1 percent of donations go to senior care. “Giving to seniors isn’t exciting, and people don’t think about it,” Coonis said.

Investing In Local Food BY VANESSA FRY

G Luckily, The Connection has made it easy—and tasty— to support the cause. You can dine for a donation. Their café and ice cream parlor are open to the public weekdays for lunch. Every time someone under 60 pays a mere $7 (or child pays $3) for one of Chef Erik Olson’s tasty meals, the money goes to help pay for the meal of a senior in need. The Connection is also being supported by proceeds from the “I Love Hailey” truck raffle. The winner will be announced at Thursday’s Business After Hours at Goode Motor. So get your ticket before it’s too late, and don’t forget about our seniors. If you’re lucky, you’ll be one someday, too.

A Riot of Color

er displays when grouped together on the hillsides in a fantastic array of lavender with the complementary yellow centers. The gentle lilacs of the giant hyssop horsemint thrived amongst all of this riot of color, creating a spiky texture throughout the meadows. The air, as I hiked, was permeated with the earthy pungent smell of the mint leaves. And

then, just when I thought that the onslaught of colors and textures were otherworldly, out bounded a deer, gracefully jumping over the flower heads of the giant hyssop. Time stilled, the colors receded, and there was just the slight shift and sway of the stems as the deer leaped and arced its way over the flowers, down the hillside.

Sketchbook Hiking

iking up Baldy the other day was a riot of color with many different types of wildflowers blooming at the same time. I saw deep purples, strong oranges, bright pinks, yellows and whites all jumbled together creating a kaleidoscope of color in the open meadows. At one point during the hike there was the bright orange of Indian paintbrush against the blues of penstemon, a perfect complementary arrangement not thought out by the artist, but provided naturally by Mother Nature. There was also the analogous color display of the pinks of the Western sweetvetch next to the lavenders of fleabane. For someone who loves the warm side of the color wheel, this would be a perfect combination. Fleabane, Erigeron speciosus, is also known as showy daisy. The flower has many, many thin petals surrounding a flat yellow disk and is very bright and showy. Speciosus is Latin for splendid, which the flow-

lobalized financial and corporate activity is fueling the degradation of natural and social capital worldwide. Oftentimes, this means profit comes at the expense of clean air and water, as well as local jobs and overall community prosperity. It also can create instability and uncertainty in the marketplace. As a response, communities are increasingly seeking ways to seize control of their own future via a more localized and sustainable economy. Individuals and organizations have accelerated their interest in local investment opportunities that provide both positive financial returns and community benefits. The food sector has become somewhat of a darling in this localized economy movement. This is very promising for communities of all sizes, as sustainable food system investments are critical in achieving a more just and resilient local economy. Unfortunately, the current structure of our financial system stymies the true investment potential. Small food start-ups have difficulty accessing capital through banks and other traditional sources, and antiquated financial regulations restrict the potential investors.

Thankfully, things are shifting. Certain policy innovations like Direct Public Offerings (aka DPOs) allow businesses to access funding without the onerous constraints of traditional financing. DPOs also enable in-state investors of all stripes to purchase equity. In Idaho, this “intrastate crowdfunding” gives food businesses the ability raise up to $2 million in capital from Idahoans. Access to more localized capital means food entrepreneurs can raise money along with community interest, creating a better market for their product while strengthening the local economy. DPOs are just one tool for local investing that can benefit regional food systems. The Sun Valley Institute for Resilience, Local Food Alliance, and others are involved in a project that will create a comprehensive handbook for local investing in Idaho. By identifying options available to investors and those seeking capital, this handbook could be essential in supporting regional food systems throughout the state.

veryone’s invited, so settle in. Let’s get to know more of our community friends. In a Valley already brimming with vitality, Hailey’s The Advocates’ Attic thrift store stands as testament to the goodwill of good people. The caring Carbonate Street staff ingrained themselves into their private corner of the Hailey homestead for nearly a decade, employing four full-time and six part-time employees as well as engaging the charitable services of volunteers from the surrounding area. “We have just about the best community around us that anyone could ask for,” said assistant manager Cindy Schott who, along with husband and store manager Gary, oversees operations at The Attic. “The donors in this community are extraordinary and kind,” Schott said. The Attic receives and displays thousands of home and accessory items. The store location is “flipped” biannually, offering seasonally appropriate wares at bargain prices. Store proceeds are dedicated to support of The Advocates for Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, an organization with the initiatives of education and bolstering healthy lifestyle choices. “We’re part of one big team,” said Schott of her and The Attic’s roles in promoting the efforts of The Advocates. “Informing people about [The Attic] and our cause increases edu-

cation, which helps sustain healthy relationships,” Schott said. The Attic, which notes an increase in public awareness for the store and has recently lodged its premier TV presence, hopes to attract more people to the location through store renovations and furniture parlor/living room enhancements. Successful sales responses to such efforts go entirely to support the worthy cause championed by the Valley’s local Advocates organization. “The Attic is the public retail face of The Advocates’ program,” said Schott. “We’re no ordinary thrift store,” she added. “If you haven’t been to The Attic, you’ve got to get here.” So there you have it, and now you know. That’s one more degree bringing us closer to home. tws

‘Ted 2’

Jon rated this movie

Bad Bear

BY JONATHAN KANE

ow unfunny is “Ted 2”? Let me count the ways. Seth MacFarlane, the writer and director of this abomination, has crafted a bad film for the ages. Supposedly a comedy, this offensive mess generates one laugh, and that’s stretching it. MacFarlane is television’s wunderkind, creator of the hugely successful cartoon “Family Guy”. He followed this with “Ted” about the talking teddy bear featured in this movie. Many friends swear so much by this film that I was enticed to sit through the sequel. Of course, the original also pulled in nearly half a billion dollars – so it must have been good. MacFarlane then went on to totally bomb as host of the Oscars and delivered the failure “A Mil-

In comes Amanda Seyfreid as the novice lawyer who can go toe to toe in the pot-smoking department with the boys. She offensively compares Ted’s situation to that of slavery and evokes Dred Scott and the Emancipation Proclamation. Does the case succeed? Who cares. This one is not even worth the rental!

lion Ways to Die in the West” at your local cineplex. So now we have “Ted 2”. It follows the riotous story of Boston best bros Mark Wahlberg and the talking bear that’s come to life, voiced by MacFarlane. Together they tastelessly make fun of everyone that isn’t a white, middle-class heterosexual while sitting in front of their TV consuming copious amounts of pot. As the story opens, Ted has married Jessica Barth and two years later the marriage is a mess. So they decide to have a child to save things, but this proves to be a problem because Ted doesn’t have the requisite equipment. The search for a sperm donor leads to a sick, terribly unfunny sequence in a sperm bank. Things get worse when the state decides that Ted is an object and can’t legally marry.

Dennis Evans’ rich background in knowledge informs his ethereal encaustics and mixed-media works, bringing topics of the 21st century – such as quantum physics and quantum mechanics – into his illuminated manuscript pages. This piece is titled “Bibliothèque de Mathématiques.”

BOULDER MOUNTAIN Property Management

BY YANNA LANTZ

Friesen Gallery’s newest exhibition, “Prospero’s Books,” is evoking an artistic tempest throughout the Wood River Valley. Seattle-based artists Nancy Mee and Dennis Evans have conjured a magnificent body of work surrounding a thread from Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest.” The show runs through August 4 at Friesen, allowing locals and Sun Valley Writers’ Conference attendees a chance to experience the magic. Evans and Mee, husband and wife, are self-proclaimed bibliophiles. The two have collaborated and melded their personal styles to create the concept and pieces for this exhibition. Knowing that “Prospero’s Books” would coincide with the writers’ conference, the couple focused on developing a body of work that would highlight books and their capacity to change people’s lives. “It was an idea that kept brewing in my head and it got its traction from having the goal of presenting a body of work for this illustrious conference,” Mee explained. “It’s more than a conference – it’s a think-tank, a symposium,” added Andria Friesen, gallery owner. “That’s what Dennis and Nancy’s work speaks to.” The title of the exhibition comes from an anecdote found early on in “The Tempest.” Antonio deposed his brother Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan. But before Prospero set sail into exile, a faithful courtier was able to squirrel Prospero’s prized manuscripts into the boat. From these books, the protagonist learned great knowledge, power and magic. “I really love the character Prospero,” Evans said. “He’s a magician, an artist, a sorcerer and a conjuror. To me, that’s what artists are. In our imagination, we conjure something; imagination is more Photo courtesy of Nancy Mee powerful than knowledge.” The artwork in “Prospero’s Books” is not based on facts, but “Every book you choose to immerse rather showcases two artists imagining. Pieces in the exhibition do yourself in is a journey,” said Andria not offer answers, but ask questions. Friesen, gallery owner. Evans’ rich background in knowledge informs his ethereal encaustics and mixed-media works, bringing topics of the 21st century – such as quantum physics and quantum mechanics – into his illuminated manuscript pages. The artist’s works are often described as time-release art; as people live with it longer, they see more chapters intellectually and visually. Mee met Evans at the University of Washington, during their time together in art school. Her fascinating forms and beautiful glass books are given weight through the assemblages of slumped and sandblasted glass with cut and cast metal and stone. As light projects into her open-faced books, shadows are created from the text, transforming her artwork like magic. “One of our missions is to make art that is about beauty for the eye and beauty for the mind,” Evans explained. “You don’t have enlightenment without light.” At the most recent Gallery Walk, attendees were stunned by what they witnessed. “What I heard over and over again was, ‘I’ve never seen anything like this before,’” Friesen beamed. “The idea of being in proximity of this work and not seeing it is a lose/lose; it’s that important of a body of work.” Don’t miss out on this unique gallery experience and imaginative journey. Friesen Gallery is located at 320 First Avenue North in Ketchum. Visit friesengallery.com or call 208-726-4174 for more details about the exhibition.

Annalise Emerick 8PM / Sun Valley Brewery / Hailey Topnotch bands perform at Sun Valley Brewery throughout the summer. This Thursday, enjoy the folk/ country stylings of Annalise Emerick with the local crowd at 8pm. The self-starting, twenty-something singer-songwriter has been on the road virtually nonstop for three years solid. This summer alone, Emerick plays to sold-out crowds at over 150 shows in 90 different cities with the aid of nothing but a guitar. Choosing to leave behind any semblance of a normal life for the day-to-day of a traveling independent musician, however, was always a no-brainer for the Nashville spitfire. “It’s all about building on something and getting out there in front of people,” she explained. “If you’re going to do it, then you have to really go for it.” Visit sunvalleybrewery.com for more information about the event, and see annaliseemerick.com for more about the artist.
