SXSW vs. Treefort By The #’s • SXSW started 28 years ago while Treefort is in its fourth year. • SXSW has more than 2,300 artists to Treefort’s 430. • For access to all events excluding VIP access: SXSW $1,745 and Treefort $125 • SXSW runs a marathon 10 days while Treefort runs five. • Austin has almost four times more residents than Boise. • SXSW events are held

across the city of Austin while anything is within a 10-minute walk from the Treefort main stage. • Jenkins says Austin natives dread SXSW every year due to the sheer volume of people coming to town. Treefort is centralized and has a strong bike and pedestrian culture that coexists well with already existing business. • Official SXSW has been highly corporatized in the last five years, making artists not as accessible while all but one Treefort venue is hosted by a local business in smaller intimate settings.

said Jordan Hawkes, Hackfort director. The conversation ranged from app development to 3D printing in stop-motion animation to disruptive technologies that change and improve life. “Hackfort is about the intersection of city life, arts and tech,” said Boise City Council woman Lauren McLean. In only its second year, Hackfort has made enough impact to receive validation from President Barack Obama in his January 21 address at Boise State University. “Receiving that recognition from the President made us feel like we are doing something real worthwhile here,” said Hawkes. Besides official events, Treefort spurred the community to create its own forts. Saturday’s Brunchfort featured seven bands and brunch at a house a short walk from downtown. Austin native and Brunchfort musician, Colin Jenkins, said that Treefort has many parallels to its big cousin, South by Southwest. tws

Boat Works Builds Upon History BY P.M. FADDEN

Thursday - Saturday 6:30 to Close

roy Canyon resident Kurt Selisch has launched his drift boat business, Wood River Boat Works (WRBW), onto Wood River Valley river life.

WRBW stems from Selisch’s experience as a river outfitter and guide. Wood construction and “classic” design produce a stability drift boat capable of lake and river maneuverability. “This boat covers a lot of bases,” said Selisch, builder and WRBW owner. Selisch, a 30-year resident of the area, grew up on Oregon rivers. Later, he dabbled in drift boat construction while he was a local river guide outfitter-owner. Today, Selisch’s focus is drift-boat building, completing vessels from his Hailey home/workshop. “I order the materials in,” explained Selisch. “I build to order, and a boat can be made in a couple of months.” Dating back to 1930s’ Oregon, drift-boat heritage ties fishing to whitewater. “Drift boats are versatile,” Selisch said. “WRBW’s are light, stable and nimble boats.” Today’s boats may be made from varied materials, commonly fiberglass or aluminum. Selisch prefers “classic

wooden drift boats” for aesthetic, multifaceted appeal. Selisch uses mahogany marine plywood, internationally rated for strength, in constructing WRBW boats. WRBW frames are Alaska yellow cedar, a strong wood of minimal weight. WRBW drift boat gunnels, handrails and chines are white oak. “A drift boat can weigh between 250 and 300 pounds, holding two to three people,” explained Selisch. “Madeto-order boats could carry an additional person while remaining stable in a variety of waters. Drift boats have great control over moving waters. A boat can be taken over class III and class IV rapids with stability.” When shaping WRBW boats for faster water,

Selisch employs “highsides” design characteristics. While similar to classic drift boats, “highsides” design raises vessel sides 3 inches ~ ideal for comfortable passage through rapid waters. “WRBW boats are also naturally paired with fishing,” Selisch said. “The boat is an ideal craft for fishermen, and there is tons of fly fishing in the area.” With three decades of local outdoor experience and previous years as an outfitter owner/river guide, Selisch knows the waterways of the Wood River Valley. He uses that experience in shaping boats ideally suited to the environment and tasks. “There are two horns at the vessel’s bow,” Selisch said. “These ‘horns’ are designed for supporting the standing fisherman. The horns grip a fisherman’s knees, stabilizing man and craft. It is also possible to attach a motor to a boat. This allows for drift boats to have access across lakes when fishing larger bodies of water.” As to the future of WRBW, Selisch will begin assembling “boat kits,” allowing enthusiasts to assemble the already shaped sections of their drift boat. A kit will require no heavy tool in construction. “Once rolling, I will next evolve my own design of a wood ‘Rocky Mountain skiff,” added Selisch. “I want to make boats for people who just want a nice river and fishing boat.” For more information on Wood River Boat Works, call 208-720-9609. tws

How it can help you BY SONIA SOMMER

o you continue to feel stuck despite years of self-examination, therapy and personal growth work? Shamanism could be the missing piece you’ve been looking for. Sound totally freaky? It’s not; I promise. Let me demystify it a bit for you.

Dating back 10,000+ years, shamanism is the oldest way of healing the community and the individual. It is still practiced across all continents with striking similarities and is the root of many of the world’s religions. The word shaman literally means “one who knows.” Because it was virtually wiped out by Christianity, many of us who were born into modern society with this gift have to discover elsewhere how to use it. We are those highly sensitive people who can often find life very difficult until we learn what to do with our natural abilities. Maybe you’re one of those people? My training was with the High Mountain Shamans of Peru ~ the Q’ero — who predate the Inka. How could shamanism help you? In two ways: Done for you. If you go to a shaman we can access the blueprint for your life and change it for you. We can see and interact with the unseen world on your behalf and heal your energy body. Things like physical pain and emotional struggle can be changed at this level, often instantly. This is the ancient key for

wellness known to shamans for millennia that is now being “discovered” by modern science. Do it yourself. Everyone can learn to use shamanic tools. This will help you have access to accurate information and guidance for your life. It’s really fun to do and feels completely natural because it’s something you used to do all the time as a kid. As you learn and use these tools, the easier your life will be. You’ll also feel more connected with nature, probably one of the reasons you moved here. But you’ll feel that way all the time, not just when you’re outside skiing or hiking: every waking moment will be richer and fuller. I invite you to come and play in the shamanic world this April in my upcoming workshop, “Change Your Story, Change Your Life.” I’ll be assisting world renowned shaman and teacher, Linda Fitch, as we help you smash your limitations and create a life beyond what you can imagine is possible. Sonia Sommer merges structural integration, mindful awareness and shamanic wisdom to help people totally upgrade their life. Drawing from 25 years of experience, her clients become pain free and feel realigned with their passion for life. Find out more at www.soniasommer.com or call 208-720-5842.

The Hailey Grange celebrates Grange Month BY YANNA LANTZ

range Month will be celebrated for the first time at the Upper Big Wood River Grange Hall, officially known as Hailey Grange #192. President Carolyn Pace invites the community to join the nonprofit for an Arts and Crafts Club gathering and Contra Dance on April 11 and a Seed and Plant Swap on April 25. All events will take place at the Grange Hall located at 609 South 3rd Avenue in Hailey.

With over 300,000 members, the National Grange was founded after the Civil War in 1867. It is the oldest American agricultural advocacy group with a national scope. The Hailey Grange was formed in 1924 and is part of more than 2,100 hometowns across the U.S. involved in the Grange. “It’s important that the Grange’s history, not only nationally but also locally, has been to help the farmers, the ranchers,” said Hilary Neely, secretary for the Hailey Grange and Footlight Dance Centre’s founder and artistic director. Across the United States, many family farmers have been closing down their farms because it is no longer affordable. “We need to reinvent ~ and that’s going to come from the community ~ a way for young people to farm,” said Manon Gaudreau, treasurer for the Hailey Grange. “We would like more farmers to farm and provide local food.” “To help the Grange be reinvigorated, we want to recognize their legacy, recognize that they are a vibrant part of our community and always have been, and then find ways to tie that in to what’s happening today,” Neely added. The Grange is also about community. “It’s about people who know each other, support each other, help each other and are in contact with each other ~ people who get together for fun and to develop all the community aspects that make a community a community alive and well with everyone taking care of it,” said Gaudreau. To get involved and learn more about the Hailey Grange, three fantastic opportunities are fast approaching. Two events will be held on April 11: the “Arts and Crafts Club” gathering for adults and a “Contra Dance.” From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., join other locals to engage in creating some fantastic art from any medium. “It’s social as much as it’s about sharing their art and encouraging each other to do art,” said Gaudreau. Participants are asked to bring their own art materials and a donation of $5 per person is suggested. From 7-9 p.m. on April 11, Twin Falls

band “Strings Attached” will lead a “Contra Dance,” preceded by an optional potluck at 5:30 p.m. In contra dance, there’s a “caller” ~ in this case David Quinley ~ who essentially tells participants what to do, so attendees don’t need any dance experience and don’t have to come with a partner. Children to grandparents alike participate. “The ‘caller’ comes from the old 1700s-1800s, when in the United States the contra dances were being brought over from England and France,” Neely explained. “They’re basically country dances; in other words, people gathering together and sharing together. They were the lively dances commoners and peasants did.” “It’s lively, fast-paced and fun,” said Gaudreau. “People don’t know all the steps and forget, so there’s mix-ups and laughs. I’ve never seen so many smiles in one room.” Attendance to the dance is limited to 70 people and tickets are $15. Tickets are on sale at the Wood River Sustainability Center in Hailey, at the Bellevue General Store, and at NourishMe in Ketchum. Grange members pay $10 and the event is free for accompanied kids 12 and under. On April 25 from 11 a.m. to noon, a “Seed and Plant Swap” will be held to benefit The Hunger Coalition. Community member are encouraged to bring “extra seeds, seedlings, and perennial plants such as rhubarb, strawberries, bulbs, or any gardening pots and accessories they no longer use, to swap for other things,” according to the Grange’s website. Musicians can also play music for a swap. This will be the first event of its kind held at the Hailey Grange. “I sent out an e-mail to my gardener friends, and within a day I got eight people saying ‘Yeah! We’ll be there and help make it happen!’” Gaudreau said. Avid local farmers Miles Teitge and Julie Fox will be on hand to answer questions about gardening in our high-desert climate, composting and seed saving. “Julie’s one of the most experienced gardeners in town because she’s been here, she knows how to grow in this climate, she knows what to grow and she’s really eager to share her knowledge,” Gaudreau said. Get your green thumb on and join the Hailey Grange in building awareness around agriculture and food.

Larry Harshbarger plays in his 35th year at The Ram Restaurant. Courtesy photo

35th anniversary of Larry Harshbarger playing The Ram BY MARIA PREKEGES

t all started when Larry Harshbarger was five years old and his parents forced him to take piano lessons. He liked playing the piano, but it was the lessons that he didn’t particularly care for.

“I liked playing, but not the lessons,” Harshbarger said. “I liked to play what I liked, not what they (the teachers) wanted me to play.” So he made a game out of his lessons; he’d asked the teacher to play a song first, then he would play it by ear ~ not exactly perfect, but he’d play the piece rather well. Harshbarger stuck with the lessons because of his passion for the piano, and Sun Valley is pleased that he did. This year marks Harshbarger’s 35th year at the Sun Valley Resort’s Ram Restaurant. He is a staple there, a legend of sorts, playing for patrons while they enjoy their meals. Jack Sibbach of the Sun Valley Resort has listened to Harshbarger play on numerous occasions. “Over the 35 years that Larry has entertained here, he has struck a warm chord with many of our guests by playing their favorite tunes as they arrived at The Ram,” Sibbach said. “He has created many lasting memories for all of us.” Memories are retained for Harshbarger as well. Harshbarger has met all kinds of people in the past 35 years playing at The Ram. Many still come to see him and have dinner ~ some even come in weekly. They sit near his piano and

he talks with them while he plays, something he’s known for. Harshbarger is on a first-name basis with these friends, even the celebrities that have had the chance to get to know him over the years. When asked about the celebrities, Harshbarger is modest, but does share a story. “One night a guy came in and asked me to play ‘Days of Wine and Roses’ and it was Henry Mancini,” he exclaimed. “I wanted to die because it was my first few years of playing.” One of Harshbarger’s first jobs was playing in a restaurant when he was in college. He was a dishwasher at the El Rey Café in Rexburg, Idaho, when he saw a piano in the back. One day he started playing and when the boss heard, his job quickly switched. Harshbarger continued to play in restaurants throughout his early career. When he lived in Boise, he played at Shakey’s and the Brass Lamp. He also played at the Rat House in Blackfoot and the White Stone Hotel in Lava Hot Springs. That was all some 40 years ago. When asked what is it about playing piano in restaurants, Harshbarger replied simply, “It’s steady work and you get to meet people that you can get to know because you’re in a restaurant.” Stop by and say “hi” to Harshbarger and listen to his wonderful music and some of the stories he has to tell; but don’t worry, he’ll play throughout all of the conversation. This man never seems to miss a beat.

The conference format included interviews, informal discussions, lectures, presentations, meet/greet socials and outdoor activities. “Denters” expressed satisfaction with the 2015 conference. Participants return annually to refresh and expand upon connections made from previous years. Reports indicate that attendance numbers to the conference have grown with each successive year. Formality levels dropped as “Denters” settled in while expressed interest levels piqued. Each day’s presentations followed a format of lively, communicative thought delivered via a raft of topical discussions and displays. Conference subject matter reiterated efficiency with emphasis on personal as well as professional technological advancement. The importance of equilibrium in one’s dealings was also recognized. Doctors Julie Kientz and Shwetak Patel took to the stage on a snowy morn for a discussion and analysis of “The 4 Burners.” Seattle-based Kientz and Patel are leaders in the academic and business fields and also a married couple with a young daughter in tow. The pair sat down to explain private interpretations of achieving balance both in the home and out. “The 4 Burners,” categorized as family, health, work, and friends, represent segmentation occurring within daily life. Previous discussion and published theorem have hypothesized that achievement in a single area ~ or burner ~ implies a de-prioritization of other “burners.” “Excellence in a particular field,” said Kientz, “has,

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

in the past, implied that one or more other burners has been extinguished.” Kientz and Patel, both tenured university professors and engaged parents with active social lives, speculate on the validity of such proposals. Through recounting of personal tales featuring her and her husband, Kientz expressed her own priorities. “For our family,” she said, “it’s quality, not quantity.

“my cut-in ‘burner’ will always be work.” Patel’s sentiments are perhaps commonly shared among those struggling with personal balance. “The resources [for consideration] are all around us in the similar circumstances of others,” the couple suggested. The suggestion prompts the query of whether or not a combination of burners is possible or advisable. While the couple cautioned that a combination of “burners” could be problematic, the alternative must also be considered. Kientz and Patel reinforce that adaptations on efficiency and self-teaching methods are ever prevalent. “Don’t take yourself too seriously while considering the area of your life,” urged Kientz. “Take time to step back,” added Patel, “and figure it out.” Julie Kientz Dent ’15 closed with Doctor an “un-conference” at the home of local outfitter SCOTTeVEST, where “Denters” bantered over business/social topic matter Whatever your priorities ranging from legislative are, consider them sacred.” impact to social foibles.

Airport Improvements Reach Final Approach Friedman Memorial Airport is undergoing the last major phase of a significant airport reconfiguration as part of a plan to bring the airport into compliance with the Lautenberg Runway Safety Act. Image from Dollar Photo Club

Image from Dollar Photo Club

This reconfiguration primarily focuses on the relocation of the airport taxiway, west of the runway. As a result, the airport passenger terminal and parking lot were also required to be reconfigured. In order to accomplish these projects in a timely manner and with the least possible impact to our traveling public, the airport will be closed from 8:00 am, Sunday, April 26, till 12:00 pm, Wednesday, May 20. This is a very efficient and aggressive schedule, in order to minimize any inconvenience to the public. During this period, the terminal will be inaccessible to the public for the conduct of any business. Any specific questions regarding a terminal business activity should be directed to that particular business. Insofar as the UPPER terminal parking lot (Lot ‘A’) is scheduled for reconstruction at this same time, we request that people with travel plans encompassing this time frame (April 26 – May 20) please leave their automobiles parked in the LOWER terminal parking lot (Lot ‘B’). Automobiles left in the upper terminal parking lot will be moved to the lower terminal parking lot, with no liability to Friedman Memorial Airport. The Friedman Memorial Airport Authority and Staff greatly appreciate your patience and we look forward to presenting you, our traveling public and clientele, with a greatly improved airport, on May 20.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR APRIL 1 FROM PICABO ANGLER

It is that time of year for anglers to branch out! With Silver Creek, the Big Wood River and the South Fork of the Boise River all closed for the next few months, anglers can choose to fish a bit closer than normal to one’s fellow fishermen, or get out and explore places that would otherwise go unfished. Steelhead season is still going strong on the Main Salmon River from Challis to Redfish. Anglers have enjoyed a great early-season run, and we can expect this to continue and begin to taper off in the next few weeks. Sight fishing is the name of the game here, with more traditional “down and across” methods being employed in more of the downstream waters. The Big Lost River now remains open year-round. The fishing here has been great, with daily Baetis hatches greeting anglers and fish alike. Expect to see a few more anglers on the water as rivers close to spawning. Also, plan on seeing a few more fish sitting on redds over the next couple of weeks. Work hard to avoid walking over these spots and fishing to the fish that are using them. Baetis hatches should continue and should remain strong in this springlike weather. Getting out to explore is a great idea for many anglers, especially since it is easy for fly anglers like us to get into certain places that fish well, and not want to leave. This is absolutely one of our favorite times of the season to pursue carp on the fly near Hagerman. The Snake River has all kinds of great places to fish for carp, and normally anglers can have these places all to themselves. If you go, take a boat or just walk and wade the many flats that are easy to find along the rivers and many reservoirs. Damsel nymphs are among our favorite flies for carp. Magic Reservoir, and places like Fish Creek and Little Wood Reservoir, are also excellent places to fish in the spring. The fishing at Seagull Point on Magic has been very good this year. Anglers can employ the use of float tubes, boats or just bank fishing. Use stout rods in 5 and 6 weights and beef up your tippets to 2X and 3X fluorocarbon. A favorite fly is a Green Woolly Bugger, fished on a tight-line strip. You don’t have to be very deep; most of the fish will forage in the top 12 feet of the water column. Have fun looking at new water this week, and let us know how we can help you find success on our many stillwaters

Happy Fishing Everyone!

Flight From Boise BY MEGII M J Ketchum Native

Every time I fly it Feels Like the first time My mouth parts into halves A fruiting flower unfurling Mountains crest as far as The eye can see Bread dough left out to mold In wait Of a firm, warm wrist My brain a winding Canyon in the midst of drought Finds its trickling creeks Rush aflush with flash floods The dam of my tongue and pen Cracked and collapsing Each wave tasting Of ink Of words Words Words. Oh beloved pen My finger has been bereft without A pen to cradle in my Lover’s palm Love lines Love lines What could possibly be More enticing Then a lined blank page? The mild winter is departing early And below Far Far below The farmlands come underhill Abruptly Square sheets of hard, black marble Shaded of smoky white Swirling, melting, running off the earth A chalk painting left To the mercy of rain What artists’ hands Kissed snow and soil to Paint such grace? There are pockets of ponds Oblong and spaced like the Footprints of some strange giant Paul Bunyan, perhaps? Oh, but though how great men As tall as trees may seem to us How small they remain When walking Upon the girth of the earth. Poetry is uncommon for me. My prose in fragments As though I am spitting Out bits of my broken molars, Between the globe of A jawbreaker What did the joker say to the giant squid? You’re kraken me up 14

With a crust like the Layers of Jupiter. I write with a Borrowed pen How to thank her for giving me My voice?

¿¡What Shall We Do With Grumpy Sailors!? By Brennan Rego

A bowlful of blue noodles Threading gently into The hungry mouths of Glassy lake and water-wake How in love I am! How in love I am! I could Roll around naked in The desert for days Until the sand and prickly pears Rub me raw Tender and new.

Las cucarachas, las cucarachas Ya no pueden caminar Porque no tienen, porque les falta Nosotros para les a ellos ayudar

What shall we do with grumpy pirates? What shall we do with grumpy pirates? What shall we do with grumpy pirates? Late into the P.M. Flash smiles and watch ˘em smile back Flash smiles and watch ˘em smile back Flash smiles and watch ˘em smile back All on through the evening

Cities burn like Rice paper lanterns Aflame on calm waters Like a million fireflies Drawn to sap Like veins of gold Shot through coalmines. I feel like my mind has Broken Free A stray yarn on the Run, unraveling The uniform rows Of stitches To run wild.

Tell jokes and hear ‘em joke back Tell jokes and hear ‘em joke back Tell jokes and hear ‘em joke back Grooving past tomorrow Dance a jig and enjoy the playback Dance a jig and enjoy the playback Dance a jig and enjoy the playback Shining through the morning Have fun in tune and build the love back Have fun in tune and build the love back Have fun in tune and build the love back Sunny right at noontime

I passed by a woman With a great smattering Of coffee freckles Amid meteorite silver hair When I saw her shirt I stopped short And laughed and Told her Outright that she had Stars and constellations filling her Rosy round cheeks My compass twirls And north finds its way Between a sleep-stricken couple I had greeted moments before Fluke or fate? In the end Fear wins over future friendship And I instead sit Beside a wonderful older woman Who sees fit To trade tales and tell Me where my boots ought wander. The curvature of the earth’s horizon Is as wide and gentle as Your sleepy smile At 5 a.m.

‘Second Suns’ ~ A book about vision BY DICK DORWORTH

nyone reading this who has had cataract surgery appreciates the second chance at vision that surgery provided. They, as well as readers with the good fortune of good eyesight, cherish the opportunity to see goodness in the world. That’s one of several reasons why “Second Suns,” a book by David Oliver Relin, is a nourishing read for anyone who endeavors to see the world more clearly.

Tails From The Laundromutt BY YANNA LANTZ

appy April Fool’s Day ~ a day of laughs, pranks, smiles and wagging tails. On this day one year ago, The Laundromutt opened its doors in Ketchum. Co-owners Candice Shubin and Bruce Pugh clearly have a sense of humor.

“Everyone was like, ‘Why would you open on that day?’ and I was like ‘Then you clearly don’t know me,’” laughed Shubin. “I could have picked any day to open that week and, nope, I picked the first.” The Laundromutt is brilliant and hilarious. It’s a two-in-one laundromat and self-service dog wash. Customers can do their laundry and wash their dirty doggie while it dries. Money is exchanged for tokens, which powers up what essentially looks like a carwash for dogs. After tokens are put it, you can choose from wash, shampoo, conditioner, K9 cologne, vacuum and two dry settings. You throw on an apron, break out the hoses and tools, put the optional “Doggles” (goggles for dogs) on your K9, and pamper your pooch. Shubin shared some of the most memorable moments from both owners’ first year in business. “Everyone has to be a first-timer, and you’ve got the ones who love it and then the ones who think the world is coming to an end,” explained Shubin. “Sometimes the huskies talk through it ‘(insert howl sound here).’” One of the funniest occurrences Shubin has witnessed involves the “Doggles.” Two women came in to wash their dog, Lucky, adopted from the animal shelter, and proceeded to put the “Doggles” on their faces and go about washing. “The ‘Doggles’ are meant for the dogs to keep soap out of their eyes…it was probably one of the most hilarious things I’ve seen,” laughed Shubin. People also have a tendency to soap their pup up and make mohawks of fur or helmets of shampoo on their pooch for a photo-op. Shubin is sure to take pictures. Sometimes the dogs are so eager before or after their bath that they run into the glass door. “You’re running around working and sometimes you’ll hear that glass clunk like

a cartoon,” Shubin said. But the dogs are always OK. “We haven’t lost one yet,” Shubin joked. A new tradition at The Laundromutt is “The Posing Chair.” “Another thing that is kind of cute that I kind of just started is ‘The Posing Chair,’” Shubin said. “Once they’re finished I can get super-cute ‘I survived’ or ‘I’m showing my stuff off’ shots.” Happy one-year anniversary to The Laundromutt for bringing laughs and smiles to humans and K9s alike! The Laundromutt is located at 220 Lewis Street, Unit 1, in Ketchum. Call 208-726-9274 for more info. tws

The world as it is, with more than 7 billion imperfect humans struggling to survive on a planet and in a human community that cannot, that will not, sustain them (us) in dignity, equality and good health, is a better and more inspiring place because of David Relin and the two central men of this story, Sanduk Ruit and Geoffrey Tabin. Ruit was born into poverty in a remote mountain village of Nepal, a week’s walk away from the nearest school. Ruit’s obvious intelligence as a young boy inspired his family to arrange for him to be schooled in India, an education they could not afford without help and that began with an arduous 15day walk with his father from his village to be left alone in a foreign land. Ruit chose medicine as a field of study because of three siblings whose early deaths could have been prevented with access to medical care in developed countries. Within a few years of becoming an ophthalmologist, Ruit had revolutionized cataract surgery in the poorest countries on earth. Tabin, an American, is Professor of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences at the Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah. He graduated from Yale, where he was captain and a star player on the tennis team, earned a master’s in philosophy at Oxford and received his M.D. from Harvard. He is a well-known and highly accomplished climber and the fourth person to have climbed the seven summits ~ the highest points on each continent, including, of course, Everest. Tabin dropped out of medical school several times to go on climbing expeditions and somehow

Visit his website and blog at dickdorworth.com. managed to get back in, and, according to Relin, “… tended to dance along the border of socially acceptable behavior.” He once recited an obscene poem to a group of medical school students, and his life experience, culture, personality, athleticism, opportunities and private life are as different from Ruit’s as, say, Kathmandu is from Cambridge. Still, the two of them managed to team up (Ruit as mentor, Tabin as acolyte) to change and redefine the meaning and possibilities of modern medicine in the undeveloped countries of the world. Nepal, one of the world’s poorest countries, has one of its highest rates of cataracts, and since Ruit opened the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology in Kathmandu in 1994, nearly 200,000 mostly destitute Nepalese have had their eyesight restored. Ruit and Tabin have trained hundreds of ophthalmologists and established centers in India, China, Tibet, Bhutan and Africa and thereby restored sight (and hope, smiles and life itself) to hundreds of thousands of people. “Second Suns” informs, inspires and resonates for several reasons at multiple levels, including the examples of two doctors and the writer who tells their story of living according to the human ethic of how much they are able to contribute to the world rather than the material standard of how much they can extract from it. tws

‘The Bodhisattva Paradigm’ BY YANNA LANTZ

lagña Ashurst is an enlightened and bright 18-year-old senior student at The Sage School in Hailey. She chooses to live each day believing “the universe always conspires in your favor.”

“I’m really interested in meditation and Eastern philosophy and mindfulness practice, but more deeply I’m into contemplative neuroscience,” Ashurst said. “It’s basically the practice of contemplation, but then looking into the neuroscience of what goes on in the brain during contemplation or meditation ~ so it’s the effects those things have on the brain.” Ashurst started getting into meditation and mindfulness when she was 15. After having some trouble in school, Ashurst decided she needed to make a lifestyle change. She partnered with Diane Crist, a local who is hooked on Eastern philosophy and who runs a regular meditation group. “She got me into meditation and that whole sophomore year changed my entire person,” Ashurst said. After she began meditating regularly, Ashurst saw rapid changes in her behavior and thoughts. “I was able to manage my time better and pay attention better ~ my whole emotional regulation was so much more level,” the student explained. After seeing these changes, Ashurst’s new goal was and is to create what she calls, “The Bodhisattva Paradigm.” “The Bodhisattva Paradigm is: A community of people who practice mindfulness and meditation as a part of their usual schedule with no necessary affiliations to any kind of religion,” stated Ashurst. For her senior project, Ashurst will study mindfulness meditation and the effects it has on the brain from a holistic perspective; April 15 marks the start of her week in Maui at a program with spiritual gurus such as Ram Dass. “I’m looking at the Eastern practice/philosophy and the contemplative neuroscience piece, and then the cultural comparison…to prove that this is incorporable to fix these super-intense issues such as depression and anxiety that I see so many people suffer from,” Ashurst explained. Next year, Ashurst will be attending the University of Puget Sound. Although she wants to continue in the field of contemplative neuroscience, she doesn’t want to be locked up in a lab. “I wanna change the world and I’m gonna one day incorporate this practice of mindfulness into every community I can come across that is willing to accept it,” she said. “One day I will change the intense poverty that we have in our minds ~ it’s possible to create a new paradigm.”

Hot Topic: Chemicals BY TONY MCCAMMON

he word “pesticide” carries with it many emotional views. In many instances, fear has played a large part in the heated organic-versus-“regular” food discussions. Pesticides kill pests ~ that is what they are designed to do. However, pesticides have also been shown to affect human health, the environment and non-target organisms in the ecosystem. Therefore, applications warrant an assessment of the benefits versus the risks. In my experience, homeowners too often use pesticides as a first defense and without consideration of other options.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over 110 million pounds of active ingredients from pesticides were applied in homes and gardens of the United States last year. A pesticide is defined as anything that can kill a pest. A pest is defined as anything causing economic, aesthetic or health damage. Of the 110 million pounds of pesticides used in home gardens, homeowners used 13 percent of total herbicides (weeds), 16 percent of total insecticides and miticides (insects) and 16 percent of total fungicides (fungus). In many cases, pesticides have received bad publicity due to the mistakes of a few farmers and landscapers. The fact is that for every 10 homeowners, 8.7 never read the label of instructions on the packaged material, which translates to greater misuse of landscape chemicals in the home gardens of Idaho. The label is the law and enforceable by the Department of Agriculture. When a pesticide is not used in accordance with an EPA-registered label, the applicator is liable for any resulting damage; they could face hefty fines and even imprisonment. I do not choose to use chemicals on my property. Not because I believe they are dangerous, but because I do not feel I need them to produce a beautiful garden. However, if I were growing an acre of pumpkins, I would not hesitate. The most toxic pesticides are only available to licensed applicators through the Department of Agriculture. The most toxic EPA-registered pesticide is Aldicarb. Toxicity is measured by the lowest dose that killed 50 percent (LD50) of a population of test subjects. An LD50 for Aldicarb is less than 1mg/kg. A chemically similar pesticide found on most store shelves, Sevin, has an LD50 of 315mg/ kg. Take this into consideration ~ look at the active ingredient percentage on your chemical label. Sevin concentrate usually has 20 percent active

ingredient in a 32-fluid-ounce container. After using the mixing instruction and diluting it down with water, you have roughly 0.1 percent active ingredient in a gallon of water. If you follow the label, they are only deadly to the pests you are targeting. What do I think? I think pesticides make up 0.1 percent of the millions of earth’s chemicals that are changing and interacting to create the environment we live in, both emotionally and physically. It is not just the pesticides found in our environment ~ it is the food we eat, the contact we have with people, the way we treat ourselves, the places we live and the music we listen to. It is the environment in which we surround ourselves that makes us more or less susceptible to diseases. I think mistrust, fear and sugar are the true culprits. The University of Idaho is committed to educating the communities of Idaho. We offer classes that target the organic farmer and the fourth generation rancher. A list of schools, workshops and programs are found on the UI Magic Valley calendar. No matter where you sit on the pesticide issue, we can help you with your pest management problems.

movie review

BY YANNA LANTZ

Cinderella

YANNA rated this movie

A remarkable retelling

fter Disney adapted “Sleeping Beauty” into the snoozer that was “Maleficent,” I was hesitant to give their newest edition of an updated classic a try. However, my expectations were highly exceeded. Directed by the renowned Sir Kenneth Branagh, “Cinderella” is well executed with vibrant acting, extraordinary costumes and just the right amount of corny-cuteness in the script.

Typical of most Disney movies, the film starts out with a glorious family relationship in which the mother tragically dies within the first 10 minutes. The arc and reasoning of Ella’s father turning from best dad on the block to a depressed widower is clear, as is his continued love for his daughter and lost wife. This gives the evil Stepmother, played flawlessly by Cate Blanchett, a motivation for her cruelness Th e W e e k l y S u n •

toward Ella once her father passes ~ something missing from the original animated Disney classic. The last thing Ella’s mother tells her is, “Have courage and be kind,” a mantra that repeats throughout the movie. Ella, played by Downton Abbey’s Lily James, is extremely likeable and holds true to her mother’s words and repeats them throughout the movie ~ what a great message for the youth of our nation. Blanchett and Helena Bonham Carter (who plays the Fairy Godmother) both give standout acting performances. From Blanchett’s dramatic entrance to her literal collapse at the end of the film, she steals the show. Carter’s whimsical interpretation of her character is a joy to watch and it is nice to see her in a role that didn’t require her usual shtick. Sandy Powell’s costume

design is magnificent. From humongous hats to shimmering glass slippers, each character is outfitted perfectly from head to toe. Director Branagh brings heart, humor and magic to the re-telling through great storytelling and a fast pace. The film tugs at the heartstrings several times, especially during the death of the sick King. In his last words, the King tells his son to marry for love, not gain. The image of the Prince, played by Game of Throne’s Richard Madden, left crying in the fetal position next to his father’s corpse, is truly moving and beautifully shot. All in all, “Cinderella” is a magical movie experience and I highly recommend it for families and lovers of the classic tale. tws

Harrison Insurance Helps Out BY MIKE MCKENNA

“You never realize how important it is to have a good insurance agent until you really need one.” That’s what a friend uttered shortly after losing his house in a fire. While being an insurance agent may not be the most glamorous job, it can definitely play a big and positive roll in people’s lives. “I like to help people” is what Kathleen Harrison said when asked why she works as an insurance agent. “That’s the thing I like the most about it ~ that and explaining to people how things in the insurance world work in simple terms they can understand.” Harrison is the owner of Harrison Insurance, located in the Old Town Mercantile Building on Bullion Street across from Atkinsons’ Market in Hailey. She first came to the area in 1973 when she and a girlfriend toured much of the Mountain West

in search of the ideal ski town. They decided Sun Valley was the best, so they moved up from Southern California the next season. Harrison eventually met her husband, Steve Harrison ~ a true local “Lodge baby,” as she called him, since he was born in a wing of the old Sun Valley Lodge. The Harrisons spent a decade in California before moving back to Idaho to raise their two daughters, Tami Harrison and Amy Backus, both of whom still happily call the Valley home. Kathleen ~ or “Kathy” to many of her friends ~ first opened her business in her home in 1988, before eventually opening an office in 2002. Harrison Insurance now employs both Shannon Kozelski and Evan Stelma. “I could not do this without those two. They’re terrific,” Harrison said. What makes Harrison Insurance unique is that it’s an independent agency,

meaning it can essentially shop around with all the other insurance providers for the best deal for each particular client. It also means they can offer a wide variety of coverage, for everything from life and health to property, casualty, commercial and business holdings. That’s why their motto is “For all your insurance needs.” Kathleen enjoys owning a small business in a small town like Hailey. “I love connecting with old friends and clients at the grocery store and having my neighbors as my clients,” she said. To try to help out the community she loves so much, Harrison Insurance is making a contribution to The Advocates every time it gets a new client this year. “I want to do the right thing for people,” Kathleen said about her business and her life’s philosophy. tws

King Of The One Pot Meal BY TONY TAYLOR

One day I was walkin’ alone in the hills, far from your cities, billboards and pills. Just walkin’ and thinking about life’s little lies, with hands in my pockets I walked over that rise. There was a meadow with peaks all around, and Willows and Aspen at last I had found, what years of my life had wandered around. But up at the start, by a falls in the crick, was a weathered old wagon that lowered my lip. I pshawed and I danged at that ugly old wreckhoops hung to canvas on a battered old deckribs bent in sadness and starving neglect. Out of the door that looked like a den, a scattered old man beckoned like kin. He waved and he smiled and I felt such a glow, it had to be some one, somehow I know. “Son you look hungry. Come right on in for a taste of my viddles and some grease on your chin.” He told me that royalty ran in his blood and we sat down to supper with our feet in the mud. He reached for the kettle, (in the coals it was hid) wiped of his trousers and lifted the lid.

A mountain of chicken was peekin’ through steam with turnips aplenty, light on the greensThe mushrooms and onions was doing their best under biscuits as golden as the sun in the West. My hunger was emptied, my soul put to rest, of all that I’d eaten…this was the best! It’s then that he told me, I knew it was real. He was the King of the One Pot Meal. Since then I’ve traveled and sometimes so fast, my head spun with questions that plugged up my ask. I played all my music in honky tonk bars, shined on the ladies and smoked big cigars. I rambled to Nashville to be a big star, to loot the fat jukebox and drive a big car. Well money was easy and livin’ was free but couldn’t shake that hunger that was growen’ in me. My friends got so heavy they just lighted out and I grabbed my satchel and took the same route. I stumbled through alley’s and slept in the cold, drank cheap Madeira and quickly grew old. The years got all scattered like snow in the brain

Continued so I took my last dollar and jumped my last train. Away from your cities, billboards and pills to find that old wagon hid in the hills. And there in that meadow by the fall in the crick, in the peak of the shadows that wizened old wreck beckoned through flowers but made not a sound, and hours of searching found no one around. So I looked in the larder and looked on the stove and there set that kettle blacker than coal. Just at that instant the thunder began, the rollin’ and peelin’ changed my whole plan. The heavens all parted and light flashed around… I closed my eyes so I couldn’t be found. Angels were singing and a voice comin’ down and I knew that I knew I’d heard the same sound, “Son, you’re still hungry, for seconds I guess the slack in your trousers matches your vest. Take the lid of the kettle and eat till you bust. Chuck down that chicken and don’t leave a crust. Tell all those Pilgrims wherever they stand, the answer is simple right to a man… For a soul that is empty down to the heel, the best I can offer is a One Pot Meal.” Tony Taylor is a longtime Hailey resident and local history buff. He enjoys skiing on soft snow and training horses in his free time.

Free Concert By ‘Time for Three’ The Sun Valley Summer Symphony will sponsor a free concert by the genre-defying trio, Time for Three, on Thursday, April 2, at 7 p.m. in the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater at the Community Campus, 1050 Fox Acres Road, Hailey. Doors open at 6 p.m. Performances by Time for Three have drawn accolades nationally, as well as locally, during the past two years when they have performed here. "When the three musicians get together, the resulting mash-up is often equal parts spontaneity and virtuosic precision,” wrote The Wall Street Journal. The performance is part of a three-year formal collaboration between the symphony and Time for Three. The symphony is commissioning one work from Time for Three each year. “Education also is an important part of the partnership,” Sun Valley Summer Symphony Executive Director Jennifer Teisinger said. “Sun Valley Reel,” one of the melodies from the commissioned work, has been arranged for the Wood River High School advanced orchestra and the Harriman Quartet, four high school students who are members of the symphony’s School of Music. The orchestra, quartet and Time for Three will perform “Sun Valley Reel” together as part of the April 2 concert. Additional information is available at svsummersymphony.org. 18

news

America’s first ski patrol has come a long way from its inception. From the first ski patrollers that cut the ski trails by hand and who were seen packing down the slopes (as there were no sophisticated grooming machines at that time), to the inception of the new and improved toboggan, all the way to the sophisticated training and equipment that goes with today’s ski patrol, the Sun Valley Ski Patrol can be seen as a leader in the industry. So what does it take to run the Sun Valley Resort’s daily ski patrol operations for two mountains? A day for these ski patrollers starts early. Each side of Bald Mountain has its own contingency of ski patrollers: the River Runners and the Warm Springers. Carl Rixon has been with the Sun Valley Ski Patrol on and off for many years and is considered a Warm Springer. “Both sides of the mountain have locker rooms where the ski patrollers arrive at around 7:15 a.m. each day,” Rixon said. “This call time changes to 6:15 a.m. on a day that has seen a measureable amount of snow. From here, they get dressed and ready and are on the ski lifts by 7:30 a.m. Once we arrive on top of Baldy, we go directly to the ski patrol shack where we organize our belongings and get ready for the 8 a.m. morning meeting.” At 8 a.m., the ski patrol supervisors start the meeting. There are many items covered in this meeting. The list includes weather forecast for the day, weather for the season, snow measurements, wind events, avalanche concerns and the grooming that took place the night before. Additionally, they cover the estimated numbers of skiers that Sun Valley is expecting and any special events and races taking place on the mountain. They talk about what they have to do for the day ~ duties of the ski patrol, signups for what part of the mountain each individual will cover and the assigning of five patrollers for Seattle Ridge. The patrol also discusses the accidents that have happened prior to that day, much for educational reasons ~ the mechanics of the injuries and how the accident was handled. They also like to keep an eye on how people are progressing after an accident, and that is also reported. Everyone in the room is part of the conversation. After the meeting, from 8:15 to 8:30 a.m., it’s off to work. If a patroller has signed up for a particular work route, they’ll get the tools they need. For example, the Lower College and Frenchman’s route will require a mallet and drill to set up fences and signage. Signs and fencing must go up before the mountain opens at 9 a.m., and signs must come down before the grooming at the end of the day. The rest of the day, from 9 a.m. until closing, is spent maintaining the mountain and patrolling the slopes. Patrollers rotate throughout the ski patrol shack ~ five or six people at a time will be at the main ski patrol shack ready to be dispatched in case of an emergency. Patrolling the slopes includes looking for hazards. When there’s not a lot of snow, they’ll look for and pick up rocks. They’re dealing with managing speed control and are always on the lookout for accidents and people that look like they need help. “The sleds that you see aren’t necessarily always for injuries,” Rixon explained. “They

might be for folks that broke a binding, that are in over their head or are just tired. We’d rather give them a ride than have them get hurt on the way down.” Injuries are the main concern of the ski patrol and what they respond to the fastest. Accidents get called in over the radio, and whoever is nearest to the accident will be the first responder. If no one is close, then someone from the shack comes down. The first responder checks out the accident and gets back to the dispatcher with what they need. There are a few sleds that are in key locations on the mountain, but the bulk of the equipment is on top of the mountain. From 2:45 to 3:30 p.m., while doing the activities above, patrollers start closing the mountain, section by section. Religiously at 2:45 p.m., they close the bowls and access to Seattle Ridge ~ which takes a certain amount of manpower for pulling the signs, closures and gates, as well as sweeping every bowl. Then, the Seattle Ridge crew sweeps Seattle Ridge. At 3:30 p.m., the Frenchman’s area closes, the gates are taken down and the area swept. And at 4 p.m., every ski patroller is on top of Baldy waiting for the lifts to be closed and cleared. Then, the ski patrollers take off on their assigned routes to sweep the entire mountain. After both sides are swept, then the last group is sent, called the “Super Sweepers.” These are the last ski patrollers of the day. After the Super Sweep, they call the mountain closed and clear for the day, which encompasses several people. There is so much to do to keep Baldy and Dollar safe for the guests on the mountains. The ski patrol works tirelessly to make this happen, but they do love what they do. Many of them have been with the patrol for years. Rixon is a veteran who loves his job. “The one thing about a day in the life of a ski patroller is you never know what’s going to happen to you during the day,” he said. “You never know what kind of accident is going to happen or where you might end up going, and to me, that’s the exciting part of this job...you still never know how your day is going to go until the day is done.” The ski patrol staff encompasses 67 highly trained professional men and women who average approximately 17 years of service, with many exceeding 40 years on the job. This level of service is one of the many shining lights of the Sun Valley Company brand. The team consists of world-class skiers who are continued, next page

A singular still point becomes an orchestrated, chaotic harmony as a lone electric drum blooms exponentially into a dandy, lion~like, big~beat~heart of sparkling seed showers & cooling matter. Fireworks can create limitless space in a moment’s time while infinity awaits.
