Cathy Butterfield is an exemplary employee at The Community Library in Ketchum, as well as a ski racer, ice hockey player and survivor.

Cathy Butterfield

BY DICK DORWORTH

C

athy Butterfield, the collection development manager at The Community Library in Ketchum, is responsible for making sure the library has the latest relevant books and other materials, for keeping the library updated with the latest in technology, and for putting together various displays and exhibits.

As with many people, Butterfield said that she feels “perpetually undereducated” when it comes to new library technology. Nonetheless, she brings together what she knows to put together impressive displays.

One recent exhibit featured books about the history of the state of Idaho intermixed with histories and commentaries about the Native Americans who inhabited the land before the arrival of Europeans.

“I can leverage all that I’ve learned over the year to a widely checkered audience,” Butterfield said.

But her work at the library is only one part of Butterfield’s story. At 58, she has also been a ski racer, a hockey player and an injury survivor.

Born in Truckee, Calif., Butterfield and her skiing family moved to Ketchum in 1964 when she was 9. She attended Ketchum Grade School, Hemingway Elementary School and Wood River High School.

Her father, “Gordy,” worked in the ski industry for most of his life, including a long career with Head skis. Her mother Pat taught school and helped found the Sun Valley Museum of History.

Living in the Sun Valley area, Butterfield and her brother David were drawn to the slopes and became accomplished ski racers.

Like all too many ski racers, Butterfield retired with less than stable knees.

By the time she arrived at Middlebury College in Vermont, her knees were too painful for the demands of competitive skiing and her intention to ski race morphed into a fascination with anthropology, geology, Greek

T h e W e e k ly S u n • a u g u s t 5, 2015

history and what she described as “other arcane subjects.”

Unable to ski, Butterfield switched to ice hockey and played on Middlebury’s women’s ice hockey team.

Though she had never played ice hockey, Butterfield became Middlebury’s goalie. For another 25 years she played for various hockey teams in Sun Valley before her knees got worse and forced her retirement from the sport.

After graduating from Middlebury, Butterfield returned to Ketchum and worked in restaurants. After a year, she returned to Vermont to a job she very much enjoyed: doing statistical research in the mental health field.

Two years later, federal funding for mental health centers and research was eliminated and Butterfield was out of a job.

Then, what Butterfield describes as “the gravity well” of Ketchum brought her back here where she worked in restaurants again and continued to play ice hockey.

According to Butterfield, an hour on skates a few times a week was much easier on damaged knees than standing on her feet for eight hours of restaurant work.

She got a career break in 2001 when Ollie Cossman, former executive director of The Community Library, offered her a position at the library. Happy with the job, Butterfield said Cossman as the “best boss ever.”

Now, 14 years later, Butterfield is described as “a pillar of the library,” even though the job has allowed her to spend more time sitting that standing and putting pressure on her knees.

However, two years ago Butterfield had both knees replaced and for the first time in decades was able to enjoy pain-free walking and standing.

She is contemplating a return to skiing and ice hockey, but her dedication to her work at the library continues to be her main ambition.

As an example of her dedication, Butterfield reminds her audience that “library cards are free.” tws

Announcement

Jo Rabjohn, “A Choir of Clams Singing Don Ho’s Greatest Hit, ‘Tiny Bubbles,’” 19” x 16”, graphite and watercolor, at Lipton Fine Arts.

‘The Peaceable Kingdom’

By Lipton Fine Arts

A

ward-winning and accomplished Ketchumbased author and illustrator Jo Rabjohn will have an exhibition opening, “The Peaceable Kingdom,” at Lipton Fine Arts Friday, Aug. 7, for Gallery Walk from 5-9 p.m. Rabjohn’s work will be on exhibit at Lipton Fine Arts through September 26 and features watercolors, drawings and her books “Kizuna” and “Goemon.”

“I’m mesmerized by the detail and exquisitely drawn creatures Jo creates,” said Gary Lipton, owner of Lipton Fine Arts. “It’s amazing how her illustrations are brought to life on paper.”

“The Peaceable Kingdom” is Rabjohn’s first gallery show in Sun Valley. Rabjohn, a selftaught artist, has her own process of sketching on velum creating each character separately beginning with black and white drawings. She never erases and every shadow she creates is deliberate.

A four-time, award-winning toymaker, 1999-2000, for the Manhattan Toy Company in New York City, Rabjohn created soft plush toys. Today, her books and art reveal her ongoing unique creativity, which she will debut for the first time in Ketchum at Lipton Fine Arts with black and white and colored drawings and lithographs.

“It’s incredible to me how Jo’s brain operates,” said Lipton.

“How her imagination comes to life through her compelling illustrations on paper is amazing.”

Rabjohn’s “Goemon” is the sequel to “Kizuna,” which con-

tinues the story of a heroic bottom-feeder trapped in the debris of the Fukushima tsunami and pulled away into the Black Tide. The second in her trilogy, “Goemon” continues the tales of the intriguing and lovable characters Rabjohn creates from her imagination and brings to life through her brilliant illustrations.

“I create wonder,” says Rabjohn. “It’s inspired by watching the sea creatures at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and imagining what they’re saying to one another.”

For those who know about “Goemon” from the previous tales in “Kizuna,” they will learn how his heroic efforts come with a price. With Vlad the sea cucumber and Chowder and Clemmie along for the journey, find out what’s in store in this sea world of tales, which readers of all ages enjoy.

Rabjohn is a fifth-generation native Californian who calls Sun Valley, Idaho, home. She is an artist, illustrator, award-winning toy designer and former teacher at Parsons School of Design in New York City. Rabjohn is also the author of “Sun Valley Architecture and Interiors,” published by Gibbs Smith, and is a freelance writer for Sun Valley Magazine and the Idaho Mountain Express.

Future exhibitions at Lipton Fine Arts will include works by Leslie Rego. For more information, call Gary Lipton at 248561-5120. For media and press inquiries, contact Sabina Dana Plasse at sdanap@gmail.com or call 917-364-2915.

The charred remains of a 1979 Dodge motorhome that crashed and burned Friday afternoon on State Highway 75 about six miles south of Timmerman Junction are shown here. The driver of the vehicle received serious burns and was flown by air ambulance to the Burn Center at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City.

he driver of a motorhome that swerved, rolled and caught on fire Friday afternoon on State Highway 75 six miles south of Timmerman Junction was flown by air ambulance with serious burns to a hospital in Salt Lake City.

The victim, identified by the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office as 65-year-old Linda Lee Robbins, of Kimberly, was listed in serious condition Tuesday afternoon at the Burn Center at the University of Utah Hospital.

Sheriff Gene Ramsey said Tuesday that Robbins’ three grandchildren, who were with her in the motorhome when the accident occurred, were treated at local hospitals and released later Friday evening.

The names of the grandchildren were not released. Ramsey said they included an 8-year-old girl, a 9-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl.

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

The accident occurred at about 3 p.m. on July 31 when Robbins, driving a 1979 Dodge motorhome northbound, lost control of the vehicle at about milepost 96.

“She had slowed down to let other cars pass when she felt the passenger side tire blow,” Ramsey said. “That caused her to swerve, she lost control of the vehicle and it rolled one and a half times and burst into flames on the last part of the roll.

“The three grandchildren were sitting in the back around a table,” the sheriff said. “No one had their seatbelts on.”

Ramsey said the motorhome fell apart when it rolled and all four occupants were ejected from the vehicle. The children were ejected clear of the wreckage, but Ramsey said Robbins was partially pinned underneath and was rescued from the burning motorhome by witnesses to the crash.

The burning motorhome caused a five-acre brushfire that was extinguished by U.S. Bu-

reau of Land Management and Wood River Fire and Rescue firefighters.

Ramsey said it was fortunate that the children were not seriously injured.

“It turns out that it could have been much worse,” he said.

“When it burst into flames still rolling, that was a scary situation. I think it was lucky that she had slowed down just before the tire blew.”

The sheriff’s office posted notices on its Facebook page advising the public of the temporary closure of both lanes of traffic while the fire was burning and the wreckage was being removed from the highway. Traffic was diverted onto U.S. 93 to the east of State Highway 75.

One lane of traffic was reopened shortly after 4 p.m. The second lane remained closed until about 5:30 p.m.

Education Foundation Lends a Helping Hand Applications Being Accepted for School Supplies

D

BY P.M. FADDEN

oing its part to provide all children with equal education opportunities and to help break the cycle of poverty, the Blaine County Education Foundation (BCEF) is once again providing school supplies to needy students.

Backpacks, calculators, pencils, notebooks, crayons and other necessities are being gathered for giveaway for the nonprofit organization’s 2015 Back to School campaign.

“Education is so important, as it breaks the mold of poverty,” said Kristy Heitzman, the foundation’s executive director.

“Aiding the provision of that education is a key to a successful

future.

“In Blaine County School District, 1,007 students already receive free lunch aid, with another 304 receiving reduced-price lunches,” Heitzman said. “These are families living in poverty who may face a hard choice between school supplies and basic necessities like food.”

Families who need to apply for free school supplies will need to fill out an application, which are now being accepted until Friday, Aug. 14.

Applications can be made at the BCEF website at www.supportbcef.org. For those without computer access, applications can also be made at the BCEF office at the Community Campus at 1050 Fox Acres Road in

Hailey. More information on the application process is available from Heitzman at 208-578-5449.

Heitzman recommends applying as soon as possible because supplies may be limited. She said applications will remain confidential and will be seen by foundation officials only.

“Last year’s campaign saw more than 100 students receive school supplies,” Heitzman said.

“This year, with the generous help of area supporters, we are prepared to supply at least twice that number.”

In order to meet the growing need, businesses and other organizations are helping the foundation procure supplies.

Atkinsons’ Markets, Albertsons and King’s are collecting extra supplies, purchased by customers at their stores, in donation bins.

King’s is also featuring an “apple tree.” A customer can choose an apple from a tree and purchase supplies for a child listed on the apple.

On Saturday, Aug. 22, King’s will donate 5 percent of the day’s sales to the Back to School campaign.

The Lee Pesky Learning Center is donating 3 percent of proceeds from its annual summer auction.

The foundation is also recruiting volunteers to help assemble supply packs or distribute them to students.

Forty bike share bicycles are available in Ketchum and Hailey for public use through paid membership.

Bike Share program off to slow start

Mountain Rides optimistic membership will increase

revamped bike share program in the Wood River Valley is not drawing as many users as Mountain Rides Transportation Authority officials had earlier hoped, but they remain optimistic that the program will gain momentum.

“It’s a work in progress,” Mountain Rides Executive Director Jason Miller said in an interview Monday. “We haven’t met our goals yet, but we’re encouraged by the initial use, especially in Ketchum.”

The MR Bike Share program was launched in May and is now in its third month. Mountain Rides had hoped the program would have accumulated 200 bike trips and drawn 100 members by now. Instead, the program has logged 141 trips and drawn 82 members. Of the 82 members, 58 signed up for one-day passes and 12 are free “ambassador” memberships given to people to ride the bikes and promote the program. Only seven members have signed up for a full year of service.

While bike use and revenues are not what was originally anticipated, Mountain Rides hasn’t had to put much funding into the program because the 40 bikes, referred as “cruisers,” were free.

Eighteen were purchased from an Environmental Protection Agency grant; the other 22 were given to Mountain Rides by Social Bicycles, a New York Citybased company that is promoting the implementation of bike share programs nationwide.

The bikes cost about $1,200 each.

Miller said the only costs to Mountain Rides have been staff time to operate the program and about $500 a year in replacement parts.

The bike share program involves shared use of the cruisers for short periods of time. Users are required to sign up as members at the Mountain Rides website at www.mountainrides.org.

Membership costs vary, depending upon the amount of time a

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

bike is used. A one-day pass can be purchased for $5, a four-day visitor pass for $12, a one-month pass for $30 and a season pass, good from about April through November, for $65.

The program allows a member to use a bike for 60 minutes each day of the duration of the pass.

Time beyond the 50 minutes is charged at $4 per hour.

The cruisers are shift-driven machines, equipped with small solar panels to charge the electronics systems, which include an onboard computer to allow and track usage and a GPS system so the location of the bikes is known.

Kaz Thea, bike and pedestrian program coordinator for Mountain Rides, emphasized the program is for usage of short duration and not intended as competition with local bicycle rental businesses.

Twenty of the bikes are stationed in Ketchum and 20 in Hailey. It is not necessary to return a bike to a location where it is picked up and instead bikes can be returned and locked at any bike rack in a public location.

EPA grant The MR Bike Share program has its origins in an EPA Climate Showcase Community Grant for $472,000 that was awarded to the City of Hailey in 2011. From the grant, which was intended to demonstrate the development of environmentally-sound and sustainable programs, $21,600 was allocated to an earlier bike share program.

The original program, implemented in late 2012, involved the 18 EPA-purchased bicycles and was restricted to the city of Hailey.

According to Miller, the program failed because of technical problems with the computer systems. The bicycles were purchased under contract with Social Bicycles, often referred to as SoBi. The revamped program came into being in 2014 after SoBi fixed the technical problems and donated 22 previously used

august 5, 2015

bicycles that were in need of repair to the new MR Bike Share program.

Mountain Rides also in 2014 received an additional $9,000 from the EPA Climate Showcase Community Grant to repair the damage bicycles and for marketing and promotion of the program.

Miller explained that while bike share programs are fairly common in Europe, the concept is relatively new in the U.S., but is gradually becoming accepted, particularly in large cities.

He said SoBi contributed the 22 bicycles to the program partly to make up for the earlier technical problems; because the company will receive a share of revenues; and because SoBi wanted to demonstrate that bike share programs are viable in smaller communities such as the Wood River Valley.

Miller said he anticipates that eventually the program will become self-sustaining and even generate revenue that can be used for other Mountain Rides programs, such as its valley-wide bus system or its pedestrian, bicycle and other environmentally-friendly transportation systems.

Producing revenue, however, according to Thea, is not necessarily the main goal of the MR Bike Share program.

“The intent is to provide multimodal transportation, hopefully to improve air quality and to improve health,” Thea said.

“People who use the bikes love it; there is definitely a fun factor.

“It always takes a certain amount of membership and a certain amount of time to get something new going,” Thea said. “It’s pretty convenient once you become a member.”

Mountain Rides has an agreement with a Boise bike share program that allows memberships to be used interchangeably.

“I want to see more; I want them to leave the car at home and use these bicycles; and I hope that it will keep growing,” Thea said.

ASHLEY CARNDUFF Has the travel bug, and it might be contagious

BY JONATHAN KANE

W

ood River High School senior Ashley Carnduff, carrying a 3.8 grade point average and with plans to graduate early, has a pretty serious travel bug.

“It’s just always been a part of my life,” Carnduff said. “I love to travel and when I graduate in January I may spend the next year traveling.

“I’ve been doing it since I was a young child all around the U.S. and Canada. It’s all about going somewhere new and meeting new people. I just love being out of the country and experiencing new cultures. There is just so much to learn because when you are in this valley you can feel that you are away from the rest of the world.”

Because she has family in Alberta, Canada, that is where she took her first trips as a child.

“I remember we were hiking in Banff National Park and even though it looked like here, I just couldn’t stop staring,” Carnduff said.

“We spent a lot of time in Calgary, which is a big city, so there is a lot to do, but there is also a lot of traffic,” she said. “I like big cities but I think I’d prefer to live somewhere like here. The driving and the chaos can be a bit much. The only city I’d live in would be San Francisco.”

As an eighth-grader, Carnduff accompanied a school travel club on a trip to France, Monaco and Spain.

“We were only in Spain for a day but there was an amazing

street festival going on and there was music and dancing and bright colors and it was really cool,” Carnduff said. “Then we went on to Nice and Paris. I absolutely loved Paris. When I left, I felt more homesick from there than I did from here. Part of it was the culture. It was amazingly beautiful and such a different experience than I had ever had. There was just so much history and so much to learn that I would love to spend more time there.”

Carnduff was able to incorporate travel into her senior project as well. The second semester of her junior year she created a travel blog.

“I tried to answer the question, ‘What can travel teach us?’ My dad knew how to create a website, so I figured out how to make a blog and started before my trip. Then I went to San Francisco for a week and it was amazing.

“Pretty much every day was filled with exploring every part of the city,” Carnduff said. “It was my first trip there and it was really hard to leave because of the type of people that live there. They are very eclectic and there is so much of a different feel from here. It’s just not your typical city. When you left your house in the morning, you had no idea what you’d come across.

“I discovered that travel is the best way to learn,” Carnduff said.

“It’s so important to see the world as opposed to just where we live every day. Personally, it can help you learn about yourself and where you fit in and who you want to be.” tws

Wood River Women’s Foundation board members celebrate 10 years of the organization’s collective giving in the Wood River Valley during a luncheon at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge on Monday. This year, the Foundation presented grants totalling $216,000 to local nonprofits. Over the past decade, grants have totaled $1,400,000.

By Leslie Rego

ountain hollyhock (Iliamna rivularis) is a showy flower with gentle pink bowl-like flowers clustered at the top of a stout hairy stem. Each flower is composed of five petals and many yellow stamens. The flowers can extend down the stem to the leaves, which are shaped like a maple leaf and are covered with fine hairs.

The seeds of the mountain hollyhock are clumped within a hairy sack, which is divided into segments.

Rivularis means “brooklet,” which is very descriptive since the plant grows along stream beds and prefers open sunny areas. Mountain hollyhock seeds can remain in the soil for many years, waiting for germination. Germination can be triggered with a good soaking or by wildfire. The rains we had this season probably opened up a good number of seeds, which is why there is a lot of mountain hollyhock this summer. After the Castle Rock Fire, there was prolific hollyhock along the hiking trails.

The burned area walking up to Baker Lake has quite a bit of mountain hollyhock. The contrast between the deep black bark of the charred trees and the soft pinks of the hollyhock petals is striking. The bark has very delineated geometric shapes and glistens with the light. The petals are velvety and silky. The tiny hairs on the stems and seed pouches catch the light against the black background.

The tall spires of the hollyhock and the faerie pinks of the petals are a special sight to see in the height of the summer.

ntil recently, astrophotography was a word I don’t remember hearing or reading and, if I had, it vanished into the vast depths of unconsciousness like a shooting star. Too bad for me. There is in astrophotography astonishing beauty and subtle and sheer reminders of the connections between all things in the universe. When I read and viewed “Sierra Starlight,” the fine book of astrophotography by Tony Rowell, I was treated to some of the best of that beauty as well as moving reminders of those connections – in this case, some of them personal.

Tony’s father, Galen Rowell, one of the world’s finest mountain/outdoor/adventure photographers, was a close friend, and I knew and liked Tony as a bright, energetic boy and young man, but never maintained an adult connection. After Galen was killed in a plane crash in 2002, Tony and I had no contact.

I heard he was pursuing photography but didn’t follow his career. When I learned Tony had published a book with such an intriguing title for one like me who has spent much of his life in the Sierra (some of it with Galen), I decided to catch up on Tony’s calling. I ordered his book.

It blew my mind.

Astrophotography, according to Wikipedia, “… is a large sub-discipline in amateur astronomy where it is usually used to record aesthetically pleasing images, rather than for scientific research, with a whole range of equipment Courtesy photo and techniques dedicated to the activity.” The whole Dick Dorworth is a Blaine County range of equipment and resident, author and former world techniques is as complex record holder for speed on skis. and demanding as the im- Visit his website and blog at dickages they produce are in- dorworth.com. triguing and nourishing, and the discipline is not for the impatient, inattentive, unadventurous or fragile.

Almost every image of astrophotography is taken with a long exposure, which accumulates the small amount of light photons that reach the earth from distant stars. Urban areas as well as some not-so-urban ones produce light pollution (thus the Dark Sky Ordinances of Ketchum, Sun Valley and Hailey), which makes seeing or photographing the nighttime sky a sullied experience.

The Sierra Nevada Mountains of California and Nevada (also known as Sierra Nevadas and Sierra) is a pristine environment for Tony Rowell’s work. He has written, “I joke with my friends that I’m putting in 9-to-5 days, but my hours are 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.” I have spent countless days and nights in those mountains, including many hours of inspiring, nourishing, healing contemplation of its nighttime stars, but “Sierra Starlight” showed me a completely new dimension and perspective of some of my favorite places – Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Mammoth Mountain and Mono Lake, among others.

The foreword is written by Kenneth Brower and includes, “Malcolm Margolin, our publisher, is smitten by Tony’s astrophotography, seeing it as a new way of looking at the Sierra. So it is, and yet at the same time it is very old. If there is nothing new under the sun, then there is also nothing new under the stars.”

I, too, am smitten, and if there is nothing new under the stars, we are all still learning (we hope), and in addition to Rowell’s images, I learned two new words – astrophotography and moonbow.

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR augusT 5 FRom picabo angleR

A

ugust is upon us and, after a quick heat wave, this week’s temps are looking very comfortable. This is great news for fish and angler alike. We still have low water conditions in most areas, but this is the norm in August. This simply means we have slightly more technical fishing than the rest of the summer and the daily windows push toward the low light of dusk and dawn.

The Trico spinner fall continues all over the Sun Valley area and is fishable on almost all our waters.

Silver Creek is the epicenter of the Trico, and the mornings when it is not showing in large numbers, other insects and hatches are taking its place. The Baetis has been prolific in the mornings and if you don’t have Hatch Matchers in your fly box, you may be missing the single most important pattern on Silver Creek this season.

The PMD activity remains sporadic, with some very intense hatches lately.

The afternoons on the Creek are still dominated by Damselfly activity, although the Hopper action is really starting to pick up. Callibaetis are still the mainstay of fish in the sloughs, as well as ants. The Flying Ant action valleywide has been epic this past two weeks and we see no reason it shouldn’t remain our best bug.

Evenings on the Creek are the normal smorgasbord of all the bugs and, if you are lucky and stay late enough, you can witness the Trico emergence. You’ll know you are seeing it when the fish are going nuts on what looks like a surface devoid of insects. We also cannot say enough about how good the mouse fishing is this season. It’s the closest we’ll get to all-out “mouse hatch” conditions!

Elsewhere, the Big Wood continues to fish well early and late. Small mayflies in the morning are complimented by decent Caddis in the evening. If you plan to fish in the afternoon, it’s a Dave’s Hopper with a Pheasant Tail dropper.

Streamers have also been effective for taking bigger fish, but anglers need to also use this technique when the light is low.

The Lower Lost continues to be great, with Trico and Cranefly activity. This activity, coupled with wadeable flows, makes for a great experience, but you had better get out of bed early to make the drive worthwhile.

We love fishing in August!

Dust off your Hopper patterns and get ready for an epic month of casting flies.

Happy fishing, everyone!

Doing What Dogs Love

BY FRAN JEWELL

M

y first German shepherd was a rescue named Hattie. She had been abandoned in a backyard when her owners moved to California. Many locals remember her from different activities we did.

She was a certified pet therapy dog that visited nursing homes for nearly 10 years. She was ARDA [American Rescue Dog Association] certified in air-scent search and rescue, and held competitive titles in obedience and agility. Hattie was featured in Elise Lufkin’s book, “SECOND CHANCES.” It seemed there was no end to what Hattie could do. She was, indeed, what the German shepherd should be – a jack of all trades.

At just 16 months old Hattie won her first obedience title with two Place wins and two High in Trials. I was over the moon thinking that Hattie was going to be my obedience dog. As we practiced, she was perfection.

But, when we started competing in CDX [Companion Dog Excellent], Hattie would walk in the ring with her head down and wouldn’t even do the jumps. And she loved jumps in agility!

This dog was fully trained

with a clicker and 100 percent positive reinforcement. How could she not like the obedience she loved at home?

This was my first experience with shutting down for what I thought was no apparent reason.

Just last night, I was talking with a young would-be competitor. Her heart’s desire was to do competitive agility. As we talked further, I discovered that her dog was extremely uncomfortable with other dogs and that this person had been advised by her instructors that her dog needed lots of work in socialization in order to compete.

I thought to myself, “This reminds me of Hattie.” My heart was set on doing competitive obedience with her. But Hattie had decided she had had enough.

Obedience trials were not for her.

My plans changed for her. Instead, we focused on agility, pet therapy and search and rescue.

All of those areas made Hattie’s heart sing!

In talking further with this young person, I also thought about how many people don’t like to go to big parties – they get very nervous – and how forcing someone to go to big parties that they are uncomfortable with is so difficult.

column movie review

It was then that I suggested other venues for this dog. In K9 NoseWork, the dog can excel in natural desires to “scent” things and search, without being in the presence of other dogs. Tracking is much the same way. So, I suggested that this young person read up about these dog-training areas. She was excited when she left to have other things to do with her dog!

I think it’s really important for us to do soul searching about what is really important for OUR DOG. If our dog is incredibly uncomfortable doing something, should we really force that dog to do that activity? Are we reading our dog correctly? Just HOW uncomfortable are they doing that activity? And yes, sometimes a dog HAS to do a particular activity, regardless, like going to the vet.

While I can’t answer for you what is right for your dog from here, I am suggesting that we always ask ourselves, “Is this important to ME, or it is important to the DOG?” What is really fair for YOUR dog? I am a huge proponent of early socialization to help dogs be comfortable in more situations, but sometimes we need to be sure we are not asking a dog to do something WE want

of the summer. It’s a rare combination of sci-fi and superhero comic book with a tremendous amount of humor thrown in.

It’s easy to start with its hero, Paul Rudd, who brings his own self-deprecating persona to the proceedings. Rudd is not your first choice for a superhero, but he was the right choice for this.

He also shines as one of the film’s co-writers, along with Adam McKay, who penned all of Will Ferrell’s best movies, and Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish. The movie is laugh-out-loud funny as

well as constantly surprising and riveting and as original as a superhero movie can be.

The story is partly a heist flick and it follows Rudd, who has been handpicked by the scientist Michael Douglas to don the Ant-Man suit and save Douglas’ formula from falling into the hands of his protégé, Corey Stoll, who seeks world domination by using the formula to create the Yellowjacket. Rudd has recently been released from jail with very specific skills that make him the perfect person for the job. Un-

Jon rated this movie

fortunately, he wants to keep to the straight and narrow so that he can regain visitation rights with his daughter but, failing to find work, he gives in to Douglas’ offer.

Also along for the ride are his three very funny criminal associates played wonderfully by Michael Pena, T.I., and David Dastmalchian.

Last but not least is the excellent direction of Peyton Reed, who puts the whole thing together beautifully. If you can, rush out and see “Ant-Man”.

What Are Invasive Species?

Why Should We Be Concerned?

By UI-Blaine Extension

A

n invasive species is a nonnative species whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm, or harm to human health.

These species grow and reproduce rapidly, causing major disturbance to the areas in which they are present.

The majority of nonnative species, including most of our sources of food and fiber, are not harmful, and many are highly beneficial.

Only a small percentage of nonnative species are invasive, but that small percentage causes a great deal of damage. If left uncontrolled, invasive species can limit land use.

Conservative estimates suggest that exotic, invasive species cause $120 billion per year in economic losses in the United States. Both direct costs, such as loss of a crop, and indirect costs, such as the cost associated with managing an infestation to prevent further spread, contribute to these economic losses.

Almost half of the native species in the United States are endangered because of invasive species.

Many animals are adversely affected, including the 10 species of moths and butterflies that became extinct because they could live only on American chestnut trees.

Compared to other threats to biodiversity, the introduction of invasive species ranks second only

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

to habitat destruction, such as the clearing of land for development.

Invasive species alter ecosystem processes. One example of such alteration is the change to the ecosystem of the Great Lakes caused by the zebra mussel. Another example is a change in the frequency or severity of a fire regime caused by an invasive plant. Such changes make it difficult or impossible for native plants and animals to survive in the affected ecosystem.

“Often human activities are primary culprits in the importation and spread of non-native invasive or potentially invasive species,” stated Karan A. Rawlins, University of Georgia. “Human activities such as trade, travel and tourism

August 5, 2015

have greatly increased. As a result, species are being moved to new areas more quickly and in greater numbers than ever before.”

Fortunately, we are learning.

We’ve learned that we need to be much more cautious when introducing something nonnative to the ecosystems in which we live, and we need to pay closer attention to normal activities that may inadvertently give organisms the means to be moved from one location to another. We have learned to take action quickly when needed.

The longer we ignore an invasive species, the harder and more expensive the battle for control becomes.

he Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle said, “The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” Such a philosophy appeals to Ketchum artist, Bruce Smith.

Smith is a multidisciplinary artist. As a nationally recognized and award-winning sculptor, he is skilled in almost every imaginable material – from forged steel to wood and plastics and from marble to bronze. The artist’s proudest career achievement is the creation of the Idaho whitewater memorial sculpture titled “River Song.” The bronze outdoor sculpture is featured in the heart of downtown Ketchum and is part of the Art on Fourth series of sculptures lining the Fourth Street Heritage Corridor. The sculpture was commissioned as a memorial to Randy Hess, well known and beloved throughout the Wood River Valley and Idaho’s whitewater rafting community. Smith created the piece as an abstract representation of a river’s beauty and power.

While Smith has been a sculptor for most of his career, more recently except for the occasional sculpture commissions, his focus now is on painting. The physical fortitude required to work continually with metal as an artistic medium as well as the formidable investment required when creating with bronze have influenced his immersion into painting.

With brush and canvas, Smith is equally adept with portraits and abstracts and non-representational work. The high quality of Smith’s portraits and the mood they achieve remind the viewer of visages of the European old masters of the 16th and 17th centuries.

Smith describes his current work as evolving and certainly changing. He regularly finds creative inspiration in art books, photos he’s taken, scrapbooks the artist prepares for references, and the occasional live model. Smith finds especially enjoyable his current experimentation with digital drawing and painting applications.

At 77 years of age, Smith finds he eases into his creative space each day, crossing the threshold of his studio after a slow breakfast. Greeting him each morning are at least two projects he will have underway to allow drying and curing of one while continuing on with another. He remembers a time years ago, painting with artist and founding director of the Corning Museum of Glass and director of the Brooklyn Museum, Tom Buechner, in his update New York studio, when Buechner advised, “Think more, paint less.”

Bruce Smith and his thoughtful, evocative art will welcome visitors to his studio during the third annual Wood River Valley Studio Tour, August 22–23, 2015. For more information visit www. wrvstudiotour.org.

“It can be very intimidating for someone who doesn’t speak English, or speaks very little English, to walk into a business, especially an insurance office, and not know if anyone speaks Spanish,” said Cami Bustos.

Bustos is the owner of The Sawtooth Agency in Bellevue, which offers insurance, notary and tax preparation for both English- and Spanish-speaking customers. A native Idahoan, Bustos learned some Spanish in high school, but really improved after she met her husband and business partner, Carlos Bustos.

Carlos was born in Mexico but moved to the Wood River Valley with his mother when he was a youngster. He went to school locally and quickly became proficient reading and writing English because, as he put it, “I wanted to be able to express myself.”

Carlos and Cami met a dozen years ago and it was love at first

sight. The couple now has four sons – Carson, Carlos, Christopher and Caleb – and they live in Hailey. “I thought he was cute,” Cami said about meeting Carlos,“…still do.”

The couple opened the independent Sawtooth Agency in January in the Belle Stores Building across from the Family Dollar and have quickly found a welcome niche serving and helping the diverse local Hispanic community.

“This is really a great location.

There’s a lot of very diverse traffic,” said Cami.

Besides the solid walk-in traffic, which is often attracted by the “Se Habla Español” signs out front, word of mouth has really helped The Sawtooth Agency quickly create a solid business.

Carlos, who works as a chef at the Sun Valley Brewery in Hailey, is great at spreading the word about their bilingual services. Their ever-growing clientele consists of folks originally from Mexico,

The largest privately funded free-admission symphony in America, the Sun Valley Summer Symphony just celebrated 30 seasons in the glorious Idaho mountains in 2014. Kicking off its newest Orchestra Festival this past Tuesday, August 4, and running through August 19, the Symphony promises a lineup not to be missed. Enjoy complimentary lawn seating for all Sun Valley Summer Symphony shows at the Sun Valley Pavilion. Music typically begins at 6:30 p.m.

Alasdair Neale is music diPhoto courtesy of Sun Valley Summer Symphony rector of the Sun Valley Sum- The mission of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony is to provide exceptional, mer Symphony and music di- free-admission classical music performances that inspire and enrich lives rector of the Marin Symphony through dynamic and engaging artistic programming and educational and in San Rafael, Calif. Maestro cultural opportunities.

Neale, now in his 21st Sun Valley Summer Symphony season, conducts a full symphony orchestra that includes distinguished musicians from major orchestras throughout North America, including the San Francisco Symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, the Houston Symphony, the Toronto Symphony and the St. Louis Symphony.

Next up in the Symphony lineup is “Thomas Hampson Sings Mahler” on Thursday, August 6, with a concert preview from 5-5:45 p.m. Honored as a Metropolitan Opera Guild “Met Mastersinger” and inducted into both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and Gramophone’s 2013 “Hall of Fame,” Hampson is one of the most respected and innovative musicians of our time.

On Saturday, August 8 at 6:30 p.m., catch the family concert “Heroes and Heroines.” This special concert features local favorites Peter Burke and R.L. Rowsey and explores what it means to truly be a hero, with songs including “Summon the Heroes,” Beethoven’s “Allegretto from Symphony No. 7 in A Major” and Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man.” “The show has several appearances of local heroes – people I can attest to tenfold – and I narrate the show as a boy who wants to be a hero,” Burke explained.

All the music chosen for the show, from classical to contemporary, revolves around the idea of heroes.

Burke has enjoyed exploring the definition of “hero” and what the word really means.

“When asked who is a hero or what is a hero, we get to step back and really assess people in our own life and people above and beyond our own life that we idolize as heroes,” Burke said. “Simultaneously, we get to consider what that words means. Sometimes, to get out of bed every day is to be a hero. To show up for a best friend in a moment of need is to be a hero.”

This will be a special evening for families and the community. Some local and distant heroes that don’t necessarily fall into the stereotype of “hero” have been chosen to also be part of the performance.

“Please come, it should be really fun and something you won’t want to miss,” Burke beamed.

Two more concerts round out the week on Sunday and Monday at the Sun Valley Pavilion. On Sunday, August 9, “Concert For Courage” takes the stage to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and the 100th birthday of Frank Sinatra in this special performance of timeless melodies honoring military veterans. On Monday, August 10, listen to “Debussy’s La Mer” and hear a rich palette of textures and harmonies depicting the movement of the ocean. Both of these evenings have a 6:30 p.m. start, with a 5-5:45 p.m. concert preview on Monday.

HPV Vaccine: What You Need To Know

BY DR. JULIE LYONS, ST. LUKE’S FAMILY MEDICINE

Cervical cancer affects nearly half a million women each year. In 99 percent of cases, it is thought to be caused by specific high-risk strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV).

HPV is acquired through sexual contact. Pap smears have traditionally been our screening test to look for cancer and pre-cancerous changes on the cervix.

An abnormal Pap smear and the detection of HPV triggers a targeted evaluation to help prevent pre-cancer from becoming cancer.

Since HPV is the cause of so many abnormal Pap smears and pre-cancer and cancerous changes on the cervix, a better goal would be to prevent the transmission of the virus altogether; hence, the development of the HPV vaccine came into being.

The initial vaccines (Gardasil and Cervarix) were introduced in 2006 and 2009, respectively. Gardasil provides protection against four prominent strains of HPV, while Cervarix provides protection against two prominent strains of the virus. In 2015, Gardasil 9 was released. This vaccine targets nine different types of human papillomavirus.

The available vaccines have demonstrated effectiveness at prevention of cervical cancer and pre-cancer. Studies seem to indicate that the vaccines are indeed working in both men and women. Furthermore, since their development and use, the incidence of cervical cancer in the U.S. has dropped.

“Are they safe?” Vaccine safety data are now available from both trials and in post-licensure 16

safety surveillance systems.

All of the major medical organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Cancer Society, and the World Health Organization, endorse their use. The major problem in the U.S. is that many families are declining these shots, and for a vaccine to be most effective to a population, more than 70 percent of the population needs to receive it.

It is strongly encouraged to discuss this and other important vaccines with your physician.

Blaine County Noxious Weeds

Dealing With Diffuse Knapweed

BY THE BLAINE BUG CREW

I

f you have ever wondered if you have a noxious weed problem on your property, this is the time of year to find out.

In the meridian of the summer season just about every noxious weed is in full bloom. This is advantageous to property owners as blooms are one of the easy ways to identify plants. This is especially true of knapweed. With its brilliant white, purple and pink blossoms, it

is at the height of its “glory.” Our article today is going to focus on one particular specious: diffuse knapweed.

Diffuse knapweed is a biennial, or short-lived, perennial reproducing entirely by seed and producing up to 18,000 seeds per plant.

Flowers occur singly or in clusters, bloom from July to September, and may be white, pink or lavender. The bracts of the flower heads are tipped with a long, slender spine fringed with smaller spines.

Seeds are blackish-brown with vertical brown and gray stripes and about 0.1 inches long. Stems are typically 6 inches to 2 feet tall with deeply divided leaves.

Diffuse knapweed prefers welldrained, light-textured soils and is intolerant of shade. This plant is common along roadsides, at disturbed sites, and in abandoned areas. To date, 13 biological control agents have been approved for release for the knapweed complex, which includes diffuse knapweed.

Luckily, there are several biological control agents to help us in the fight against this noxious invader. Knapweed seed head weevils (SHW) include LA spp and BAFA, which are abundant biological control agents that can

utilize spotted, diffuse and squarrose knapweeds. SHW overwinter as adults, which emerge in the spring when they begin to feed on knapweed foliage. Females produce between 28 and 130 eggs, which they lay in clusters in open flowers. Eggs hatch into larvae, which feed on seeds and receptacle tissue for about a month. Larvae construct cocoons within the seed heads using pappus hairs and pupate. Emerging adults chew a characteristic round hole in the top of the cocoon that is visible when viewed from above.

Because of our wet spring and good weather, the weeds have grown like crazy this year, and because of this our knapweed bugs are enjoying a full-blown buffet.

Part of the Blaine Bug Crew’s job is to introduce our bugs to new noxious feeding options. If you would like to invite our bugs to your knapweed potlucks, please call Eric McHan at 208-316-0355 or Bronwyn Nickel at 208-7885516 with the Blaine County Weed Department.
