Heal with Sonia Sommer BY AIRIKA GOODPASTURE

hamanism dates back more than 50,000 years. It can be traced back to the core of every single religion known to man and it has been a part of almost every culture. The Celts called Shamans, the File (fee’lyee) ~ vision poets. The Scottish knew them as Tailbshear (tah’shar), vision seers, and the Welsh knew them as Awenydd (ah-wen-ith), inspired ones. So what is Shamanism? In part, it’s about creating mindfulness through an un-seen world that most are not aware of. Some say it is the missing link in hectic and chaotic lives. It’s about finding and connecting to intuition, much like mother’s intuition. Sonia Sommer has been in the health field for more than 20 years. She started her journey working with professional athletes in Sports

Science and Naturopathy. Through this, she began to understand that the body is connected through the mind, or “the soul,” and that the core of all physical health and wellbeing was the mind. She followed her path and trav-

eled to Peru, where she studied and worked with and under shamans. There, she gained incredible knowledge and understanding of the Shamanic way. Shaman guides understand that when a person endures physical or psychological trauma, a

part of the soul separate’s and can no longer contribute to a person’s being, instead it is remains trapped within the traumatic event. By separating parts of the soul, continued, page 18

Locals all breathe easier and better because of Sun Valley Mayor Dewayne Briscoe. Courtesy photo

Dewayne Briscoe: Oral surgeon, civic activist, athlete, Sun Valley Mayor BY DICK DORWORTH

In a long life of high and varied accomplishment, one of the things 81-year-old Sun Valley Mayor Dewayne Briscoe is most proud of is helping to implement the first U.S. law to protect people from the dangers of second hand smoke. In the mid-1970’s Briscoe had been named by the governor to the Washington State Board of Health and began studying the issue. His findings and activism eventually led to the passage of the Washington clean indoor air act in 1985, the model for subsequent anti-smoking laws in Washington and many other states. An only child born in South Dakota, where his engineer father was working on a dam project on the Missouri River, Briscoe and his family moved to Seattle when he was in grade school where he lived, studied and worked most of his life. He attended Garfield High School where he ski raced, played basketball and baseball and was president of his senior class. Three years ago, he was elected to the Garfield High School Hall of Fame. Like so many other Wood River Valley residents, Briscoe first came to Sun Valley to ski. In his case it was as a high school ski racer in 1950. After high school, he attended the University of Washington for both undergraduate and graduate studies and became a maxillofacial surgeon and worked on the staff of hospitals in Bellevue, Kirkland and Seattle and held several elected and appointed positions of different professional dental associations. He has always been interested and actively

involved n the organizational aspects of civic and professional life. Briscoe first began living in the Wood River Valley in 1969-70, commuting to Washington to work, and by 1990 was spending most of his time in Sun Valley. He retired from dentistry in 1990. Since then, he manages to ski on Baldy 60 to 90 days every season. In 2006, he began attending Sun Valley City Council meetings and speaking out on land use issues as a private citizen. Several friends and fellow citizens urged him to run for a place on the city council. He did and won on a platform of “…property rights with consideration of neighbors and respect for our environment.” He served on the Sun Valley City Council, including being elected president by fellow council members until deciding in 2011 that even though it was a very fulfilling time he had to “… either move up or move out” in order to remain effective and relevant. He won the mayoral race against incumbent Wayne Willich by a narrow margin and he readily points out that he has some opposition in the community. So far, according to Briscoe, his administration has focused on “…restoring good relationships with the other cities and county government agencies of Blaine County.” “I think I’ve done that,” he said. He finds the job of Mayor fulfilling, engaging and suitable to his talents. Briscoe’s term ends in January of 2016 and when the next election comes around in the fall of 2015, he said, “At that time I’ll run again. There’s more to do.” tws

emperatures soar, thaw raises rivers; time once again for thoughts of the kayak, the raft and rivers running clean and strong. River trips are synonymous with high adventure and big business. Outfitters meet customer’s needs for family day outings, long-stay outbound excursions, camping, fishing, wellness activities and safety training. River trip tools include the kayak, paddleboards, inflatable rafts, necessary safety gear, locally grown foods and expertise of experienced guides. Trips are booked as all-inclusive river quests including sleep/ meal arrangements, equipment and a guide with trips tailored to client specifications. Doug Fenn, owner of White Otter Outdoor Adventures, keys upon flexibility. “Being able to facilitate tours as clients wish, without formal structure, is a unique aspect to what we do,” he said. “It’s important to offer a broad range of options,” agreed Brian Estep, owner of MacKay Wilderness River Trips. “Each river offers a different experience.” River outfitters/operators enjoy a season running mid-spring until early autumn (May through October). River trips take place statewide, with outfitters listing favorites as the main Salmon, Middle Fork, Bruneau and Owyhee rivers. “We enjoy long seasons here,” explained Steve Lentz, owner, Far and Away Adventures. “Our area is filled with workable locations, climate and calendar dependant.” “I believe that the more people to experi-

ence the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, the better this world will be,” stated Willi Cannell, owner Solitude River Trips. “I am very passionate about sharing this incredible trout fishery and one of a kind wilderness area.” Guides and outfitters are naturally given to be passionate about their livelihood. Personnel spend years on rivers; some dedicate their lives to the nature and water. Fenn has been a guide for 23 years and owner for seven. Estep is in his 29th season on the river. For Lentz, this is his 35th year as owner and 40th as a guide. Jeremey Boswell, owner of White Cloud Rafting Adventures stated that his operation has been servicing Stanley/Sun Valley rafting for 44 years, and Willi Cannell of Solitude River trips has been on the water literally his whole life. “The warm waters, white sand camping and world classing fishing draw you in,” Estep said. “It’s a valuable escape from our normal day-to-day interactions,” added Lentz. “Clients enjoy the trip itself as much as the education of our safety courses,” said continued, page 11

A look at the 2016 Alpine Nationals BY MARIA PREKEGES

or the second straight year, the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation (SVSEF) and the Sun Valley Resort hosted the Western Regional Spring Alpine Series. 150 athletes came to town from all over the Western region. There were also competitors from Canada, Europe and even Napal. The race series took place last week Wednesday, April 1 through Monday, April 6. “The series was fantastic,” said Ruben Macaya, Assistant Chief of Race with the SVSEF. “We were very very lucky with the weather change. It made the surface one of the best they raced all season. The two super G’s were the first pulled off this season for the Western Region. Everybody just raved about the surface, as it was absolutely perfect. The last guy could have won the race.” Besides the great racing, there were events around town that both the athletes and spectators enjoyed. A large group gathered at the Ketchum Town Square on Thursday for a special awards ceremony that featured the top racers from the first two days of racing, followed by live music with Tyler Bushman. Wood River Valley and SVSEF athlete Haley Cutler was on the podium twice during the ceremony. Once for her first place finish on Wednesday’s Super G and again as a third place finish for Thursday’s Super G. The 17-yearold, Cutler, raced down the Warm Springs course in 1:30.51. On Wednesday, she finished 0.55 ahead of runner-up Tenaya Standteiner of Squaw Valley. Other non-racing events included a special panel discussion that took place at the Community School campus on Friday, April 3 with the topic of “A successful life following a career in ski sports.” Speakers included Olympic medalist Christin Cooper, Saucony President Richie Woodworth, twotime Olympian and pro racer Otto Tschudi, former Goldman Sachs partner Kipp Nelson and George Macomber, vice president of career and education for USSA. Following the races on Saturday, April 7, Apples Bar and Grill hosted a street party and awards ceremony following the giant slalom and slalom. All of the Spring Series events were a precursor to the 2016 U.S. Alpine Nationals that will be held in Sun Valley next year,

bringing the nation’s best skiers to town. Sun Valley is also scheduled to host the event again in 2018. “The concept behind this event isn’t just a series of ski races, it’s a festival for the Wood River Valley,” stated Gary Black, owner of Ski Racing Magazine and past president of SVSEF. “We’re looking to target a broad audience to attend the Alpine Nationals next year here in Sun Valley.” They’re striving to make it a huge success, as the last time the Alpine Nationals were held in Sun Valley was in 1950. “We’re going to be looking for and try to enlist the whole valley for volunteers and to participate in the event and be part of the event,” Macaya added. “We’re trying to make it a Valley wide event next year for the Alpine Nationals.” For more information on the Spring Series and next year’s Alpine Nationals, go to the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s website at www.svsef.org. tws

Record numbers at Animal Shelter BY YANNA LANTZ

11 dogs were taken to the local animal shelter mid-March thanks to the “Wings of Rescue” program. Of those 11, only three still remain at the shelter. Photo courtesy of the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley

State Farm, Bloomington, IL

he Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, located in Hailey, has hit a record high for adoptions. Since the New Year, 162 animals have already been adopted from the no-kill shelter. For perspective, 489 animals were adopted over the course of 2014. That puts the local animal shelter 40 pets above their average of 122 for a three-month period in 2014 and at approximately two adoptions per day. “You can’t really have a community that is companionate and then have a kill shelter,” said Jo-Anne Dixon, Executive Director and Medical Director for the shelter. “Our mission is basically to connect animals and people and try and make a better community by doing that; it changes lives. We are 100 percent, essentially, donor funded ~ our community wants us to be here.” One of the biggest misnomers about the local shelter is that they only take care of animals that don’t have homes. “That is not our sole purpose,” Dixon explained. “We take care of animals that are also in homes.” The shelter provides support through their “Paws for Hunger” collaboration with the Hunger Coalition, behavior and training services, an active community spay/neuter program and many resources for pet owners/lovers. Since 2006, over 2,750 animals have received free spay/neuter services at the shelter’s no-cost community clinics and the local stray population has dropped by

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

43 percent. “The one thing that jeopardizes a no-kill shelter is a lack of space,” said Brooke Bonner, Director of Development for the shelter. “Having the ability to control the population issue and where it’s coming from has allowed us to get to this place. We still get strays, it’s just not in the large numbers.” Where do the animals come from? The shelter is the impound facility for the county. “If animals are not picked up from impound, we take ownership of them,” Dixon said. “We have those animals, then we have animals that were surrendered to us ~ we do not have a surrender fee.”

“Our mission is basically to connect animals and people and try and make a better community by doing that; it changes lives.” Jo-Anne Dixon Medical/Executive Director

Over a quarter of the shelter’s furry friends were transferred from other locations last year. “We work with other regional kill shelters if they’re struggling with numbers,” Bonner said. Dogs from Hurricane Katrina have arrived at the local shelter. In midMarch of 2015, 11 dogs from California were brought to

Ap r i l 8 , 2 0 1 5

In March of 2015, the shelter’s longest resident, Gene Kelly, found his home. Photo courtesy of the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley

the shelter via “Wings of Rescue.” Of those 11, only three are still waiting for homes. The average time an animal stays at this shelter is three-weeks. “The use of social marketing and the media have been key to getting this adoption rate,” Bonner said. “And every animal that leaves our shelter is spayed or neutered, vaccinated for worms, temperament tested and microchiped ~ they come as healthy as they can and completely ready to go. I think that combination of things makes it easy for people to feel confident in coming and knowing we’ll work with them to find the right match.” Community is the lifeblood of the shelter. In 2015 alone, volunteers have donated over 2,161 hours. To volunteer at the shelter or to find a new best friend, call 208-788-4351 or visit http://animalshelterwrv.org. The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley is located at 100 Croy Creek Road in Hailey. tws

Fenn. “Up-coming courses are usually filled well in advance.” “Many of our guests return to us to float the river many times,” Cannell said. “I want to ensure the experience of the guest is exceeded.” Guides and owners alike relate that, to them, enjoyment comes from the wild and the clients they share it with. “It’s a unique environment for our business,” Fenn said. “With a huge involvement from the local community.”

“Over 200 miles of road-less, pristine wilderness. Yeah, we’re pretty lucky to be out here.” Brent Estep Owner, MacKay Wilderness River Trips

“On the river is the most fun, comfortable holiday around,” Estep said. “There’s a tremendous response from local and visiting clientele.” “It’s all about relationships,” Lentz added. “Customers arrive as clients and leave as friends.” tws

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR APRIL 8 FROM PICABO ANGLER

Do you miss Silver Creek? Do you miss seeing the fish rise and the ducks fly overhead? If you do, we have great news! Picabo Angler’s Silver Creek Webcam is now up and running! Watch in real time as the bugs hatch and the fish rise. This is also a great way to check wind and weather on the Creek. The camera may be accessed via www.picaboangler.com. Just logon to our website and click the tab at the top of the page labeled “Webcam.” We are a little over a month away from the general trout opener in Idaho, but there are still a lot of great fishing opportunities for those anglers that can’t wait for the season to begin! The bulk of the fly-fishing happening right now is on the Lower Big Lost River below Mackay Reservoir. There have been hatches of Baetis and some Midges in the afternoon, making for great dry fly opportunities. When the fish aren’t rising, the Nymphing has been excellent. Use small Baetis Nymphs, anything red in color and your favorite general nymph patterns. Expect very little change in the weather this week. The temps should hover around 60 degrees on the warm days; with a little overcast and no wind, the Baetis should hatch. The weekend is predicted to be a bit sunnier, so Nymphing may be the way to go as we head toward the weekend. The Little Wood is fishing fair, with the big Salmon Flies due to come off in the desert stretch anytime now. With warm weather predicted this weekend, a large Stimulator fished in the same method as a Hopper may produce some nice fish and good strikes! Don’t expect to see massive hatches of Salmon Flies, but if you see one here and one there, chances are it is on. This hatch is not long lasting, and there are those that don’t even believe it exists, but be sure that it does! It is just a matter of going and trying until it works. Other places to fish include all our local reservoirs. They can be very exciting places to fish in the spring. Plump rainbows are the norm in Magic Reservoir with a few nice Browns being caught occasionally. On the Little Wood Reservoir, expect small Rainbows, but plenty of them. Fish your favorite Streamers a few feet deep. Strip the line in slow, but set the hook hard when you feel the strike! Happy Fishing Everyone!

To Those Who Wait: BY YANNA LANTZ

An Eddie In Flow BY P.M. FADDEN

veryone’s invited so settle. Let’s get to know more of our community friends: He lives quietly on a shady corner of Warm Springs Road in Ketchum. He is among the Wood River Valley’s most readily recognizable figures. If you’ve not shared a bus with him, then you’ve certainly seen him about the town. He wishes to be known simply as “Eddie.” Son to the tinsel town legend who brought “Duffy’s Tavern” to life, Eddie, has lived a life of wonder. It was in 1968 that Eddie’s family first came to Sun Valley. Six years later, Eddie would pass a summer in the Big Wood River and later, in 1980, Eddie would return to ski Baldy and make Ketchum his home. The combined years he’d been away had seen him through Europe, Asia and around North America. Extensively travelled, Eddie has taken the lessons of the road to heart. “When thinking on our lives, that subject is considered through various frames that life is made up of,” said Eddie. “For me the three main frames [to life] are: our loves, our occupations and our interests.” Eddie has dedicated years to expanding those views. And the experiences accrued while on that quest, like his seven year camping stint at the base of the Himalayas, have taught him the value of the Valley he now calls home. Eddie also applies that perspective to his fellow man. “There’s so much emphasis placed upon ‘understanding,’” said Eddie. “But it seems if we actually understood others as we do ourselves or loved ones, we would be a lot closer to our actual reality.” For Eddie, the realities of the Wood River, specifically, are great. Eddie is active outdoors and he loves the healthy living and clean environment. But most of all, Eddie loves the freedom to just keep on keepin’ on. “How we each get our kicks is what truly describes who we all are,” he said. So there you have it, and now you know. That’s one more degree bringing us closer home. tws

his is a letter long overdue already, but you’ve had so much patience. Over the years, I’ve seen many people in hospitals and been to too many hospitals. This is a sincere thank you to those who wait. To my family and friends, thank you for waiting for me. Waiting and watching someone in pain is so difficult. Yes, this is a no-brainer, but I’m used to being in the hospital bed; I never recognized how much courage it takes to sit in the opposite chair. From realizing a loved one is in pain, to the ER trip, to the scans, to the hospitalization period, to visiting, to sending gifts and laughs ~ THANK YOU. You are the people who put on a strong face when in more worry than anyone else. You are the people you send meals and start collections at the local churches and community centers, send prayers and good juju but never ask for anything. Sometimes you take a transcontinental flight, just to be there. You try to stay as long as you can but you have work to do too. You navigate the traffic to come in and visit as often as you can. You try to make us laugh, but it’s not easy. Sitting in sterile rooms, eating the hospital food because you don’t want to leave the bedside,

smelling the smells of death in the hallways, always around ~ THANK YOU.

Dealing with insurance, arguing with doctors for more information, trying to keep us sane while we feel we’re in a mental institution ~ THANK YOU. Bringing letters and mail, fresh clothes, toothpaste and conditioner ~ THANK YOU. Taking away old clothes to wash, sneaking us out for walks by the river, replacing watched DVDs with new ones, faking that their lives aren’t in as much turmoil from watching ~ THANK YOU. You are the ones who wait. You stand with your love and wait for admittance, wait for the nurses and doctors, wait for the pain medications to kick in, wait for updates, wait for the good or bad news with hope and wait for discharge. Then, you wait in line at the pharmacy, you wait for us to get better and pray we don’t have to go back. You spend so much time waiting. It’s easy to think of those hours as lost, but those hours are what made us heal. We couldn’t do it without you; I’d have gone mental long ago if it weren’t for you. THANK YOU.

Taking the Time to Connect BY KENYA SCHOTT

tudents spend approximately 40 hours a week at school. Consequently, teachers have some of the biggest influence on their students’ lives. High school is a stressful time, and teenagers are forced to deal with a lot of stuff. They deal with sports, clubs, work, babysitting and everything in between. A teenager’s life is trying to find a balance between academics, extracurriculars and having a social life. Some of what students are going through is visible and isn’t a problem, while some students carry invisible and serious burdens. It is important for teachers to reach out and try to connect with the students. The formation of a relationship between a teacher and a student is a valuable tool, and can have a positive life-long impact on the student. It is imperative that teachers find a way to connect and engage with their students. This can be achieved Th e W e e k l y S u n •

if teachers treat the teens with respect. Students need to know that their teachers value their opinions and will listen to them as equals. Teachers must be able to engage their students and have respectful conversations with their students. It is important for students to know that teachers have a genuine interest in their life outside of school. No student is going to open up to a teacher who seems fake and insincere. The most memorable and engaging class periods have been the ones that revolve around a discussion. I have loved being able to share my opinion and learn about my peers’ views as well. I have had some amazing teachers who have sparked my interest in subjects I thought I would never enjoy (thanks Mr. Foster, I’m majoring in econ now). Students who are interested in the subject are more likely to participate. If teachers try to connect a subject to a students’ life and engage them one-on-one they will feel more comfortable

sharing their thoughts in class. Another way for teachers to foster a more inviting classroom experience is to take notice of who is in the class and try to break up social cliques. High school is a jungle of different social cliques. Students are often times hesitant to speak up in class if they feel that a certain group of people will make fun of them. It would do teachers a service if they notice this, and then try to break up these groups of people. A teacher’s goal should be to promote a sense of safety and community in the classroom. This article was written by WRHS senior Kenya Schott, a member of the ETC’s (Every Teen has a Choice) teen interns for The Advocates, a Hailey-based nonprofit whose mission is to teach people of all ages how to build and maintain healthy relationships.

When I confront a keypad, I feel like Archie, the resident newsroom cockroach in Don Marquis’ classic early 20th century work of humor “Archy and Mehitabel.” Archie learned to communicate his lower-case, non-punctuated views on life as a cockroach by hurtling himself on one letter at a time. I too am a miserable typist. I never learned to type (my thankfully short bout with polio canceled the start of my eighth grade summer typing class), and I have hunt-and-pecked my way through college assignments and all the work needed as an instructor before copiers. Now I bewail my clumsy fingers; I am envious of the keyboarding skills even wee kids have. Bless them and all the people I see rapidly texting long messages with arcane abbreviations as they also do other things ~ except drive. I don’t think I am unduly revealing a horrid stupidity when I admit that I am boggled by the plethora of new devices I need to learn to be a less-than laughable member of society today. I like to think that, even at my age, I can be open to new technical challenges. It is not always hard to “teach old dogs new tricks!” I don’t want to be the object of jokes about seniors grappling with each JoEllen Collins—a longnew “in” device or time resident of the Wood app. River Valley—is a teacher, Luckily, I learned writer, fabric artist, choir how to use computmember and unabashedly ers by working in proud grandma known as schools and found “Bibi Jo.” word-processing the salvation for a teacher trained in mimeographs, ditto sheets, clumsy typewriters and white-out. I have been fairly successful with navigating the Internet and social media, although I still am shocked how easily one can find so much information. Even Facebook, denigrated by so many adults I know, has provided me with connections to several long-lost acquaintances. Nonetheless, I am of a generation that learned by reading and taking notes on paper. My masters degree research was completed in the cozy stacks of the English Resource Center at UCLA, poring through books that could only be accessed and used there. I loved the thrill of discovery after a successful search. I still treasure yellow legal tablets (college ruled), a special pen, handwritten snailmailed notes and rereading saved old love letters and messages from my parents. So if you see me with my iPhone calling a driver for Uber in one the cities I visit, give me a high five. It was a step to learn the tricks of that website, and I was inordinately pleased when two young girls who shared a carpool with my friend and me said they were thrilled to ride with us because they just couldn’t believe that women of our generation would be waving at a car approaching us on a busy San Francisco street. Well, we did, and I’m glad I forced myself to appear so stupid leaning how. Archie, I empathize with your painstaking approach to communication! tws

Learn About Careers In Aviation ACE Academy for teenagers Navigating small airplanes, controlling air traffic and exploring Blackhawk helicopters are all part of the Aviation Career Exploration (ACE) Academy, June 15-17, hosted by the Idaho Transportation Department’s Division of Aeronautics in Boise. Thirty teenagers will have the opportunity to participate in the academy, which is open to high school students ages 14-18. The deadline for submitting applications is May 8. During the three-day academy, students will hear from experts in various aviation-related fields, as well as representatives of regional and national aeronautical schools. Tours of the Boise Airport, local aviation businesses and flight operations, and the Idaho Army and Air National Guard are also scheduled. “Every student comes in wanting to be a pilot,” said Tammy Schoen, with ITD’s Division of Aeronautics. “Once they participate in the experiences we offer, they begin to look beyond the ordinary and many leave excited about other aviation-related careers they might pursue.” The academy is capped off with flights to nearby airports, such as Idaho City or Garden Valley. Each student has the opportunity to experience a flight under the guidance of a veteran pilot who has donated time and an airplane to make this possible for ACE participants. Upon return to the Treasure Valley, students will tour the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa. A $60 registration fee is due upon a student’s acceptance to the academy. Scholarship assistance is available. For more information, call the Division of Aeronautics at (208) 334-8775, or visit www.itd. idaho.gov then click on Aeronautics, Safety and Education and ACE Academy for more information and the application. 16

The reality of climate change has never been more evident in the Wood River Valley. Warm, dry weather brought an early spring, which promises to be the new norm. A study conducted at Oregon State University anticipates increased average temperatures of 11 degrees by 2070, creating a huge impact on our snowpack. So what can we do about it? The relationship between the food system and climate change is statistically staggering. Industrial agriculture is responsible for at least 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions and global meat production is responsible for more emissions than all trains, cars and planes in the world combined. While this is a frightening reality, it presents an equally powerful opportunity for individuals and communities to slow climate change. Here’s how: choose food produced by local farmers who diversify and rotate crops and use natural fertilizers. Buy fresh food that requires less refrigeration, packaging and transport. Buying local reduces your carbon footprint more than any other habit change. Recover nutrients ~ eat leftovers and start a compost bin (European worms survive winter). And garden ~ grow new food using the composted old food, either in your windowsill, backyard or in community spaces. Gardens produce, educate, rehabilitate and promote life. Yes, fresh, local and organic foods can be more expensive; and, the “true cost” of corporate food is considerable ~ to our individual, economic and global health. Mass-produced, pesticide and hormone-treated, processed, genetically modified foods are directly correlated to obesity, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, food allergies and cancer. Global food corporations supplant local businesses. So the up-front cost of fresh, local food is an investment in our health, local jobs and the environment, with a premium rate of return for snow hounds. If we fork out dough, we get more snow.

movie update

The Hills Are Alive As Ever ‘The Sound of Music’ BY YANNA LANTZ

015 marks the 50th anniversary of the musical drama “The Sound of Music.” The near three-hour film has inspired and touched many through its songs, characters and story. “The Sound of Music” premiered March 20, 1965 in Hollywood and hit the country by storm. When released on home video, tunes from the musical stayed on the music charts for over 250 weeks ~ that’s nearly five years! Box offices have grossed over $286,214,286 on the film. The soundtrack has never been out of print and had sold over 11 million copies. Although Doris Day was originally offered the role of Maria von Trapp, it was Julie Andrews who brought the character to life and into the hearts of viewers across the globe. This film, along with “Marry Poppins,” which was shot six moths later, catapulted Andrews to stardom. “Well, I never knock it,” Andrews said in an interview with Vanity Fair. “It was the moment in my career where everything exploded.” Rodger’s and Hammer-

stein won multiple Tony Awards for the 1959 stage musical, from which the movie launched. Rodgers wrote the catchy and memorable “I Have Confidence” especially for the film. The songs go unforgotten; Lady Gaga sang a “Sound of Music” tribute at the 2015 Oscars. Legacy just released a special 50th Anniversary Edition CD on March 10 that features remastered songs from the film and first time releases that didn’t make the movie. In a recent interview with Billboard, the von Trapp actors confessed their favorite tunes. “’So Long, Farewell,’” Heather Menzies (Louisa) said. “Because it was so easy to sing and fun to perform. I loved the dance up the staircase ~ I was able to use some of my ballet training.” The classic “My Favorite Things” was Angela Cartwright’s (Brigitta’s) and Kym Karath’s (Gretl’s) favorite. The song always makes Cartwright smile. “It is such a joyful melody,” she said. “I love ‘Edelweiss’ and ‘So Long, Farewell’ too.” The children in the movie did not perform Nicholas

Wood River Fire and Rescue BY KRISTY HEITZMAN

t brings me great pleasure to introduce you to an amazing woman, Kelly White. She has filled many positions in our Wood River Valley and all of them were to help, serve and protect our community! She is currently working as a paid on call firefighter EMT for Wood River Fire and Rescue. However, she wanted to get into medicine in high school when she was a serious athlete in California. She did an internship and was hooked on helping people. In the San Francisco area, where she is originally from, she studied and was trained as an EMT. She received training as a firefighter, police officer, emergency medical technician and emergency dispatcher. She feels that all the components are intertwined and help one another. She has worked at each position while living in the Valley over the last 10 years.

She spoke with such awe and respect for each job and the people that fill those positions in our Valley. I asked her what compelled her to do this line of work and to put her own safety aside as she selflessly helps others. She smiled, and said it didn’t seem like that. She has such a great group of people that she works with that they all just “work together like a team” and her mind and body just go into place where she just does what is necessary and coordinates with her other firefighters to make sure everyone is safe. She loves the family/ team aspect of her job. The training that the firefighters continue to do to keep up on the latest skills that ensure our communities’ safety is physically challenging, but also something that she enjoys. The educational training of the latest EMT skills, as well as the physical drills, keeps our firefighters sharp and at their best. It is also

Ketchum to Spot-Spray Noxious Weeds

As warmer days begin, Ketchum will begin spot-spraying noxious weeds in city rights-of-way with low-toxicity herbicide. The city will spray only specific weeds identified by the state of Idaho as “noxious.” Noxious weeds are species that grow rapidly and crowd out native plants. They can increase water and wind erosion, alter nutrient cycling, destroy wildlife habitat, reduce the usefulness of recreation areas and decrease agricultural productivity, according to the Idaho Department of Agriculture. No entire rights-of-way will be sprayed and notices will be placed in affected areas 72 hours in advance, Juerg Stauffacher, parks and natural resources superintendent said. It is safe for humans and animals to come in contact with the spray as soon as it is dry, he added. However, the city is taking extra precautions. Signs will be posted suggesting that people avoid the weeds for 72 hours after spraying. A special dye will allow people to see sprayed weeds easily, he said. Residents who prefer to pull noxious weeds adjacent to their properties by hand may do so by notifying the city parks superintendent at 208-726-7820. The Parks & Recreation Department may lend tools and provide garbage bags on request. It also is available to assist in identifying noxious weeds on public and private property and to answer questions about city policy. Spot-spraying will continue throughout the summer as required, Stauffacher said. Find more information at http://ketchumidaho.org/noxiousweeds.

Heal with Sonia Sommer it is easier to sustain such traumas in life. They call this “soul loss,” and it is often why humans feel a sense of inadequacy in life, or as if they do not know their purpose. Divorce, the death of a family member, the death of a pet, having to move away from friends and family and physical injuries are all things that can cause “trauma” to the soul. This is when a person can feel lost, off-balance, missing a purpose, anxiety, depression and fear. Healing can begin to happen once the part of the soul that was missing is returned.

Trailing of The Sheep fundraiser with Baxter Black BY MARIA PREKEGES

he limelight room in Sun Valley was full of laughter and fun this past Saturday, April 4, as cowboy poet Baxter Black entertained the Trailing of the Sheep fundraising event. “We laughed until we cried,” stated Mary Austin Crofts, Executive Director of The Trailing of the Sheep. “It was Baxter’s best performance yet!” Per his website, this was one of Black’s last performances as a cowboy poet. With that in mind, Crofts knew they had to have him for the fundraiser “I’ve been after him to come here for years to do a benefit,” she said. “We adore him because he’s so funny and makes people laugh and has everything to do with agriculture.” It’s quite the get to have The New York Times “most famous living poet in America” in Sun Valley for one of his last performances. Black is a cowboy poet, former large animal veterinarian and entertainer of the agricultural masses. As he puts it, he “has a narrow following, but it’s deep!” “For over 25 years he has traveled the U.S. and Canada, scattering his wit and left-handed observations to folks looking for a bright

spot in their day,” states his website. Black also has a deep connection with the Wood River Valley. He lived in Idaho and has been to Sun Valley many times. “I worked here for 10 years,” Black said. “I was a vet for the Simplot livestock company. They were called the Bruno Sheep Company back then. I have a good background with Sun Valley and I really feel good about the Basque culture and I’m happy to be a part of the

evening.” When asked what it is about this area that he likes, he replied, “It’s not the beauty, it’s the people. There’s a pioneering aspect here.” So how does a large animal vet go to become a cowboy poet? “I had one of those ‘had to leave town’ moments and went to Denver to work for a pharmaceutical company,”

Black explained. He put on many meetings and after just a few months, people and corporations were calling the company he was working for to see if he could come speak. “The phone never quit ringing or else I never would have done this,” Black said. “It took over my life. Cowboy poetry hijacked my veterinary career. “ The evening with Black was a huge success, but there is still much to do before the Trailing of The Sheep Festival in October. “The Trailing of the Sheep Festival is a nonprofit and must raise nearly $250,000 this year to make it happen,” Crofts stated. “The economic impact last year was $4.5 million to our Valley. I hope people will help sponsor and continue to support to ensure a healthy future for this unique and popular festival.” The Trailing of the Sheep Festival will take place October 7-11, 2015. “In 2015, we have planned 54 events over five days,” Crofts said. “It is so exciting. People come from all over the world for it.” For more information, to volunteer, donate and to learn more about the festival, visit The Trailing of the Sheep Festival’s website at trailingofthesheep.org.

So far, nearly 100 employees have driven the cars, representing roughly five percent of the company’s total workforce. Since their January rollout, the three cars have racked up over 2,000 miles cumulatively. “Employees are enthusiastic about the cars and the response has been terrific,” said Engineering Project Leader Kent McCarthy, who’s spearheading the company’s EV efforts. “We’re just getting started with this program and I’m excited to see where it goes.” A frequent Leaf driver is Idaho Power President and CEO Darrel Anderson. “I’ve used the Leafs several times now, and I’m impressed with their quality and drivability,” Anderson said. “These cars are ideal for short trips around town.” The Leafs were introduced to the fleet to give the company a better understanding of EV technology, and to promote alternative transportation while reducing emissions in the Treasure Valley.

Hi Sun’ers . . . Porcupine II in 1993 close to Craters of the Moon I post holed in snow over to this North American Porcupine in a winter willow tree munching on inner bark he quit eating an’ tried turning around in the fork to swish his quilly tail at me but speaking porcupine’ezze in a soft sing’song’y voice he closed his eyes an’ went to sleep. So, in a deep gruff voice, I said, “Grandfather Wisdom Porcupine, you can’t go through life with your eyes closed,

Monsanto’s $600,000 Fine

Zions Bank 2015 Smart Women Grants Deadline July 6

A slap on the wrist for toxic chemicals

Zions Bank is accepting applications for its 2015 Smart Women Grants, open to anyone whose proposal promotes the empowerment of women or directly benefits women or low-income and underserved populations in Idaho and Utah. Six $3,000 micro-grants will be awarded, one in each of the following categories: small business start-up and expansion, community development, continuing education and teacher support, child and/or elder care, health/human services and arts/ culture. Visit www.zionsbank.com/smartwomen or call 1-800-737-6586 for more information or to obtain an application. Applications must be received or postmarked by Monday, July 6. Grant recipients will be announced in September. Applicants need not be clients of Zions Bank nor are they required to be residents of Idaho or Utah. Employees and immediate family members of Zions Bank and its affiliates are not eligible.

Monsanto has agreed to pay the U.S. government $600,000 for not reporting hundreds of uncontrolled toxic chemical releases from its Idaho phosphate plant. The releases in Soda Springs occurred between 2006 and 2009. The plant emitted hydrogen cyanide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury into the atmosphere during that threeyear span, officials from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Justice Department said in a statement. Companies are required by law to report such releases immediately. “Each of these chemicals are hazardous and can pose serious health risks to workers and the community if mishandled or released in an uncontrolled manner,” the federal statement said. The $600,000 fine is a slap on the wrist for a company that earned nearly $1.5 billion in profits during fiscal year 2013.
