51-year-old Blaine County man who currently faces a second-degree murder charge was nearly a shooting victim himself 38 years ago when his stepfather shot his 14-year-old sister to death and killed a bar patron before turning a gun on himself at a bar and restaurant establishment at East Magic Reservoir in south Blaine County.

Accused murderer Keith Eric Blankenship, who lived with his family at the establishment, was only 12 the evening of July 15, 1977, when he escaped the murder-suicide rampage by running out of the bar area and hiding under a bed in a nearby room. His mother, Nancy Sechrest, escaped, too, by fleeing out a back door and hiding in a tree.

His sister, Dana Blankenship, wasn’t so lucky, being shot three times by her stepfather, 38-yearold Dennis Sechrest.

Arthritis is a common condition and means inflammation of a joint. Osteoarthritis occurs when the normally smooth cartilage on the ends of our bones wears out and becomes rough.

Large, weight-bearing joints such as the hip and knee are most commonly affected, but any joint can become arthritic.

This can occur due to previous trauma, overuse or normal age-related wear.

Signs of arthritis include: • Pain • Swelling • Tenderness • Crepitus, or noise, due to the roughened surfaces of the joint moving against each other.

Diagnosis is typically made with X-rays.

Treatment for arthritis usually begins with simple and common non-operative measures.

The most common medications used are NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), which include common overthe-counter medications such as Naprosyn or Motrin as well as prescription-strength medications. The right medication for you depends on your degree of symptoms and other medical problems. Weight management and physical therapy can also have a profound effect on your arthritis symptoms.

6

When these measures fail, joint injections can be used.

Typically, two types of injections are used to treat arthritis.

Steroid injections are a simple and safe treatment for arthritis that may provide symptom relief for weeks to months. When steroid injections don’t work, viscosupplementation may be used. This involves injecting hyaluronic acid, a normal substance in your body, with the goal of lubricating the joint.

If your symptoms become unmanageable with these simple measures, surgical treatment should be considered. For knees and hips, this involves replacing the worn-out surfaces of the joint with metal and plastic, also known as a joint replacement.

This surgery can provide longterm pain relief and improved function and activity level.

Romanchuk’s partially decomposed body was found buried in a pile of dead leaves on May 15, 2014, at Blankenship’s residence on Deer Creek Road north of Hailey. The day earlier, according to the sheriff’s office report, Blankenship came into the sheriff’s office and admitted he’d killed Romanchuk and hidden the body. The Blaine County Coroner’s Office later determined that Romanchuk died of multiple gunshot wounds from a high-caliber handgun.

Blankenship has remained incarcerated on $500,000 bond in the Blaine County jail since his arrest on May 14, 2015. In addition to the second-degree murder charge, he is charged with a second felony crime of “destruction, alteration or concealment” of evidence.

Murder-suicide The Times-News in Twin Falls reported in its Sunday, July 17, 1977, edition that the murder-suicide involving the Blankenship family occurred the previous Friday evening at the Stable Bar, a now-closed establishment at East Magic.

According to the report, the business had been owned and operated by Dennis and Nancy Sechrest for five years, but that the couple was in the midst of divorce proceedings and that Nancy Sechrest was operating the establishment by herself and that Dennis Sechrest had moved to Boise.

The Associated Press reported on July 19, 1977, that Nancy Sechrest filed for divorce in April of that year after Dennis Sechrest was arrested and charged with sexually molesting his stepdaughter, Dana Blankenship, on about March 21, 1977.

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

According to a Times-News report on July 18, 1977, Dennis Sechrest was later released on bond and defense and prosecution in his case had agreed to “deferred prosecution” with the conditions that Sechrest undergo psychiatric counseling, not be arrested or charged with any other crimes, seek full-time employment and stay away from Nancy Sechrest and her children, Dana and Keith, at East Magic.

The Times-News quoted Judge Daniel Alban, who arraigned Dennis Sechrest on the child sexual molestation charge, as saying following the murder-suicide that Sechrest “had the appearance of a guy heavily weighed with troubles,” perhaps because the crime was punishable by up to life in prison.

As provided by court order, Dennis Sechrest was allowed to visit, accompanied by a law enforcement officer, the East Magic establishment earlier the day of the shooting to discuss business affairs with Nancy Sechrest.

“Everything seemed to be fine earlier in the day,” former Blaine County Sheriff Orville Drexler told the Times-News.

Drexler reported that a deputy stayed at the establishment after Dennis Sechrest had left to make sure there were no problems.

However, according to the Times-News account, Dennis Sechrest returned to the bar sometime around 10 p.m. that evening after the deputy had left.

Dana Blankenship was shot three times – in the chest, the hip and the knee. Fred Klamm died from two gunshot wounds to the chest.

Other patrons at the bar, identified by the Times-News as Mr. and Mrs. William Hadland and

SEPTEMBER 16, 2015

Mr. and Mrs. Bill Miller, all of Twin Falls, fled from the establishment out a back door along with Nancy Sechrest, who had been tending bar.

“All I can say is thank God we got out alive,” William Hadland told the Times-News.

“I became aware that he was standing there with a gun and that it was time to get out. I was concerned about getting my wife and the other couple out; I don’t know exactly what happened.”

The Hadlands and Millers later took Darlene Klamm to Blaine County hospital in Hailey, where she was initially listed in serious but stable condition.

Dennis Sechrest was transported to Saint Alphonsus hospital in Boise where he died the following morning.

An obituary for Fred Klamm published in the Times-News states that he was a carpenter who had worked at a mine in Nevada, for the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, for Amalgamated Sugar Co. in Paul, and at Ore-Idaho Foods in Burley.

He was a World War II veteran, having served in the U.S. Army, and was honored with military rites at his funeral at the Paul Cemetery. He was a member of United Methodist Church in Paul.

An obituary for Dana Blankenship states that she had completed eighth grade at Wood River Junior High School as an honor student. She played basketball and was on the school track team. She also liked snowmobiling. She was a member of St. Charles Catholic Church in Hailey.

Nancy Sechrest is now remarried and is known as Nancy Monk. She was raised in the Wood River Valley and now lives in Nevada. tws

Candidate for Sun Valley mayor

BY DICK DORWORTH

M

ark Beelaert, manager of security at Sun Valley Resort, wants to see more fiscal responsibility, transparency and team effort in Sun Valley city government, which is why he decided to run for mayor.

Beelaert said he is frustrated with the actions of the present Sun Valley City Council, which he thinks has been financially irresponsible and has demonstrated a “lack of transparency.”

He believes he can contribute to fixing the situation by “building teams and working together as a unit and improving the city’s relationship with Sun Valley Company.”

As a secondary reason for running, Beelaert wants to expand his personal life and “break out of the mold of being the security guy.”

At 6-foot-6 and weighing 240 pounds, the 62-year-old Beelaert has the look of a security guy who keeps in shape, and the background of a man who is able to build teams and work together with others.

Beelaert has been security manager of Sun Valley Resort for the past eight years. When asked about the possibility of a conflict of interest with his job and service as mayor, Beelaart replied, “If I am mayor, I will abstain from any vote concerning the Sun Valley Company.”

This is the first time Beelaert has sought public office, but he has a history of public service, having been president of the Ketchum/Sun Valley Rotary Club. Beelaert pointed out that, during his tenure, the organization “partnered with the Hailey Rotary Club” on various proj-

ects.

Beelaert was born in Mishawaka, Ind., which is nicknamed "The Princess City” and is located on the St. Joseph River next to South Bend, Ind. After graduating from high school, Beelaert did not go on to college, but instead went to work in South Bend for Miles Laboratories, a large pharmaceutical firm that was taken over by the German firm, Bayer.

As he worked his way up the management-executive ladder to a higher and higher paying position, he moved to West Haven, Conn., where the U.S. headquarters for Bayer was located.

In 2006, Bayer shut down its U.S. operation and Beelaert was out of a job. He then moved to North Carolina where he and some partners opened three commercial gyms called Planet Fitness, which he said were successful.

When he sold his interest in Planet Fitness, he was looking for something new to do and was perusing the website CoolJobs. com and saw an ad for a security guy at Canyon Lodge in Yellowstone National Park, where he had never been. He applied, got the job and moved to Yellowstone.

During a job fair in Yellowstone, he stopped by the Sun Valley desk and discovered that Sun Valley Resort, where he had never been, was looking for a security manager. He applied and was accepted for the job.

Although he is not a skier, like so many others, he came to Sun Valley with the thought of staying for just a winter. And, like so many others, he is still here.

Beelaert is married, has two sons and two grandchildren. tws

Competes At Pro Rodeo Level

BY JONATHAN KANE

S

arah Rau, a junior at Wood River High School with a 3.95 grade point average and a member of National Honor Society, has taken her love of animals and channeled it into the difficult sport of rodeo.

“There are just a lot of variables to it,” Rau said. “You have to control and be in sync with a 1200-pound animal and you have no idea if it’s having a good day or a bad day.”

Rau describes rodeo is a sport consisting of cowboys and cowgirls, where all the events are timed and where each participant has to rely on a horse.

“In other words, unlike other sports, your team is a horse,” Rau said. “But it’s not just a sport, because it has taught me responsibility, and the bond that is created between horse and rider has given me something that I cannot find anywhere else in life.

“It has also given me a love for one of the toughest sports in the world and the chance to bond with an animal that can’t talk to you and is your best friend.”

Rau said the spiritual connection between her and her horse has also been a tremendous confidence-builder.

“It’s something I want to do for the rest of my life,” she said.

A year ago, Rau got her horse – named Dov, which means Little Bear in Hebrew – in Denver. Dov is 14 years old and in the prime

of his life. Her rodeo coach found Dov for sale online, and he has been bred to compete solely in barrel racing, which is a timed event where the rider circles three barrels in the arena as fast as she can.

“He can fly!” Rau said. “He is also extremely sensitive and if you yell at him, he’ll stop working for you. He’s my best friend and there is no better horse in the world.

He’s helped me overcome a lot in my life, and I’ve helped him. The horse and rider relationship is built on silence, and that trust is created by communicating without words, and that is incredible.”

Rau started riding when she was 7, but really took an interest in barrel racing at 12 or 13.

“I love the speed events and the adrenaline rush of the whole thing,” she said.

She placed first in her first race at 12 years old. She now competes in about 25 rodeos a year as both an amateur on the pro circuit and in open rodeos where she competes against the pros.

Two companies – Zephyr Wellness and Animal Element – sponsor her.

“It feels really good, as it’s one step closer to my goal of being a pro and being on the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association Tour. I know I can go far.

“I went to three pro rodeos this year and did pretty well, considering I was a rookie,” Rau said.

“Running with the pros was an experience I’ll never forget and I really learned a lot.” tws

The Sun Valley Museum of History in Ketchum is a great historical resource of the Wood River Valley.

Libraries, Museums Tout Tuning Up On Local History Slack Is A ‘Wonderful Time’ To Learn About Valley

By MARIA PREKEGES

N

ow that slack has arrived – that time of year between the end of summer and the beginning of the ski season in late November – it might be a good time to learn more about the rich history of the Sun Valley area. Following are a few suggestions for late-season visitors as well as local residents to learn more abut the area’s rich culture and heritage.

The Community Library “To me, after the frenetic – albeit fun – energy of the summer, fall offers a time for quiet and for reflection,” said Jenny Emery Davidson, executive director of The Community Library in Ketchum. “It is a wonderful time to visit libraries and museums, think about where we are, and settle down.

“Here in central Idaho, we live in an extraordinary environment with an interesting history,” Davidson said. “So, in addition to being necessary, it is fun and stimulating to learn about where we live.”

At The Community Library, visitors can find a wide variety of resources to guide them through the history of the Valley. From browsing the stacks of books and periodicals and making good use of knowledgeable librarians, to visiting the Regional History Department where one can find old photos and maps as well as oral histories of the Valley, there is an enormous amount of information available.

“To know the history of our Valley is to care more deeply about it,” Davidson said. “From the Tukudeka Native Americans, to miners and sheep ranchers, to

Averell Harriman and Union Pacific Railroad, to Sun Valley and Ernest Hemingway – the story of the Wood River Valley is compelling, and the better we know it, the better we live in it.”

To me, after the frenetic—albeit fun— energy of the summer, fall offers a time for quiet and for reflection.”

Jenny Emery Davidson Executive Director, Community Library

Sun Valley Museum of History Think Ketch’em Alive, Forest Service Park and those white buildings with the green roofs, and that’s where the Sun Valley Museum of History can be found.

“A visit to the Sun Valley Museum of History provides a wonderful overview of our Valley’s history and provides context to where we are today, how we got here, and why this Valley remains so special,” said Taylor Paslay, director of museum operations. “The museum is an outstanding community resource that deepens our sense of place here in the West and in central Idaho.”

Paslay encourages local residents to become better acquainted with what the museum has to offer.

“It would be a great experience for our visiting tourists to interact with local businesses that all have a core understanding of local history and where to guide visitors to learn more,” Paslay

said. “As the seasons change, I encourage local employers to suggest to new and old staff a visit to the Sun Valley Museum of History. We are all ambassadors for the area in our own way and a brushup on area history will benefit our part in the experience of those visiting the Valley.”

Hailey Public Library LeAnn Gelskey, director of the Hailey Public Library, also thinks local residents should become more knowledgeable about the Valley.

“I look at it as being civic-minded,” Gelskey said. “I think everyone has a duty to a certain degree to understand and know where they live and why people come to visit this Valley.

“Our libraries are so community-minded. We are stewards to the public and should know the community and what people should understand.”

“Our mission is a little different,” Gelskey said. “We are a current, high-interest materials library, but we do have many historical resources. We have the Mallory photo collection, which was donated by the Mallory family.

There are a lot of fun things and many great stories and photos.”

Another part of the history of the Hailey Public Library is that it is in the downtown core of Hailey, and the building itself is very historic.

Other places to explore the history of the Sun Valley area are the Blaine County Historical Museum in Hailey, the Bellevue Public library, the Bellevue Old City Hall Museum and, of course, Sun Valley Village, including the historic and recently renovated Sun Valley Lodge. tws

(Ericameria nauseosa)

BY LESLIE REGO

M

y eyes have been red and inflamed for the last few days. I have been reluctant to go outside because it only makes the itching worse and so I decided to confront my nemesis head-on and explore the grey rabbitbrush, which is in full bloom right now.

It is easy to confuse rabbitbrush with sagebrush. Both can be the cause of allergic reactions and it is hard to tell which one is creating the most discomfort. I cannot say for sure that my unease comes from the rabbitbrush, but I have always suspected that it does, since we have so much of it growing near the house.

Both plants are medium-sized shrubs with grey, wooly hairs covering the leaves. Rabbitbrush has long linear leaves; sagebrush has lobed leaves and also a strong sage odor. The Latin word for rabbitbrush, “nauseosa,” comes from the smell produced when the leaves are crushed.

Apparently, the smell is described by some people as similar to a pineapple. Others believe it smells noisome, like rubber. I decided to forego the “crushed-leaf” test since I did not want to inflame my eyes any more than they already are, and so I cannot verify one smell over the other.

What interests me most about rabbitbrush is the yellow dye produced from boiling the mature yellow flowers for at least six hours. This produces a lemon-yellow dye, which Native Americans used for dyeing rugs, baskets and blankets. If immature twigs or flowers were included in the dye bath, the color turned a yellow-green. I am intrigued by the possibility of producing these lovely yellow colors. Right now there are so many flowers that I could pick enough to create a strong dye bath. But then I begin to think of a bubbling vat full of the flowers and the resulting assault on both my eyes and my nose, and again I decided to pass on this experiment! I can only imagine the house filled with the fumes of boiling rabbitbrush.

I do find the flowers lovely to look at. The yellow is very pure, bright and happy. I think the contrast of the flowers to the silvery grey leaves and stems is an interesting mixture of bold and muted. I love that the plant casts a golden hue over the landscape at the height of its season.

Curiously, rabbits do not forage on rabbitbrush, but it is believed that they seek refuge amongst the shrubs. Rabbitbrush does attract a lot of bees and is a much needed source of pollen in the autumn, at a time when other flowers are fading. In fact, the pollen from rabbitbrush gives bees enough reserve to make it through the winter. In hives where there is a lot of rabbitbrush pollen, the bees can begin to rear a new brood in January. Come early spring, the bees are ready to work. So even with allergies, there is a lot of good to be said about rabbitbrush!

hat song was a household anthem of my post-World War II ’40s and ’50s childhood. My parents were heavy smokers. Mom often went through three packs a day.

She died the long, slow way of emphysema at the age of 50, spending most of her last 10 years hooked up to oxygen tanks.

It was not pretty. Dad quit when it became obvious that smoking had destroyed his wife. Though I could have avoided more of them, I am grateful and fortunate that I completely avoided the vice of smoking. Still, my lungs have always been compromised by growing up in a house of smoke.

I mention this personal history as context to my personal reaction to the recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Health Interview Survey, which found that in 2015, 15.2 percent of American adults smoke cigarettes.

That’s a troubling number of nicotine slaves to those who care about the health of fellow countrymen, but it’s a monumental decrease since 1962 when 42 percent of Americans were smokers, including Mom. Courtesy photo Stanford’s Dr. Robert Dick Dorworth is a Blaine County Proctor has written, “The resident, author and former world cigarette is the deadli- record holder for speed on skis. est artifact in the history Visit his website and blog at dickof human civilization… dorworth.com.

Cigarettes cause about 1.5 million deaths from lung cancer per year, a number that will rise to nearly 2 million per year by the 2020s or 2030s… Part of the ease of cigarette manufacturing stems from the ubiquity of high-speed cigarette making machines, which crank out 20 000 cigarettes per min. Cigarette makers make about a penny in profit for every cigarette sold, which means that the value of a life to a cigarette maker is about US $10 000.”

One human life = $10,000 corporate profit.

Despite the best coordinated efforts of the tobacco industry’s “denialist campaigns” to deny that cigarettes are “the deadliest artifact in the history of human civilization,” along with denying their awareness of this danger and making such absurd claims as that the science wasn’t complete and more studies needed to be made, etc., etc., the awareness of reality filtered into the consciousness of the majority of Americans with the help of higher taxation on tobacco and outlawing smoking in most public places. (A pertinent local side note: Sun Valley Mayor Dewayne Briscoe was instrumental in the passage of the Washington clean indoor air act in 1985, the model for subsequent anti-smoking laws in Washington and many other states.)

That is, exposing the lack of credibility of the denialist campaigns of the tobacco industry worked. Not perfectly.

Not completely. But it’s better than it was in 1962 and a lot of people are alive who wouldn’t be otherwise.

That is, take heart, all you activists-against-climate-change deniers, the causes-of-gun-violence deniers and the worldwide-environmental-collapse deniers. tws Persevere.

The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR sepTembeR 16 FRom picabo angleR

T

rue fall weather is upon us. It’s time to put the chains and shovel in your fishing rig and pack some extra water and nonperishable food items. Throw in your sleeping bag and an extra change of clothes and travel with a full tank of gas and now you are ready for fishing at winter’s doorstep.

Talk in the local fishing world these days is of the Western Red Quill, which has been bringing fish to the surface on the Big Wood for several weeks now. Expect more of this action to continue and move up the system this week. Plan on the best action closer to Ketchum than Bellevue and plan on fishing banker’s hours. Don’t go buy a bunch of new flies for this bug; just use your favorite leftover Green Drake patterns. Fall Baetis should begin to show in huge numbers under the cloud cover and inclement weather that is predicted.

On Silver Creek, we are crossing our fingers and toes that this week’s true fall weather will bring off the Mahogany Dun in massive numbers. This hatch has been present on the Henry’s Fork for some time now, so we are due any day. Once we see the Mahogany, the fall Baetis will come with them. In the meantime, Baetis, Callibaetis, Hoppers and Ants are the ticket. The best fishing remains the mouse fishing after dark. With heavy cloud cover and pre-spawning brown trout both present, expect the mousing to only get better!

To the east, the Lower Lost continues to have the best morning hatches with Trico spinner falls, although they should begin to wane this week and be replaced by Baetis. The Craneflies should remain active under dry skies.

The Upper Lost is fishing well but spotty. If you know the area, it may be worth hitting your favorite runs, but the low water makes it tough to search for fish. If you don’t know the area well, you will have to walk a lot!

Don’t stop fishing under the rain this week. Despite the rain temporarily wiping out dry-fly fishing, it will bring out the biggest fish in the rivers. The low light and lack of activity means big prespawn German browns will be looking to fatten up in a big way. The cloud cover gives them this opportunity and no baitfish or mouse will be safe this week!

Enjoy the fall hatches, stay prepared for inclement weather, and stay safe out there!

Happy fishing, everyone!

no bones about it

Exercise Is Not Enough

BY FRAN JEWELL

H

ere in the Wood River Valley we love to hike with our dogs. Very popular breeds in the Valley are some of the herding dogs, like blue heelers, Australian shepherds and border collies, that have enormous energy that needs to be used up every day. These breeds seem like a perfect match for we hiking dog lovers. They are, however, not the only breeds that need exercise.

Almost all dogs are getting enough exercise in our Valley, but some seem to have some other behavioral difficulties. Many times we just assume some of those behaviors are who the dog is and accept them as part of their nature. Many of those behaviors go unnoticed, tolerated and even sometimes inadvertently encouraged. Certain behaviors can ultimately become very self-destructive for the dog in the home or with people and other animals, such as jumping, excessive or demand barking, etc.

I see exercise as only oneeighth of the things we need to look at in order to have a dog that is well adjusted and happy.

All dogs need direction from their owners or they will make doggie decisions about things that come up in everyday life.

Many doggie decisions are socially unacceptable, and sometime even dangerous. And, as I have talked about before, many dog behaviors are a result of anxiety for the dog that manifests itself in ways that many people do not recognize as anxiety.

Exercise is vitally important for our dog’s mental health. It

is also vitally important that we are clear about how we want our dog to behave, just like children, so they can function and be integrated and accepted in our society without stress or behaviors that are destructive to others.

When we think of our dogs, we need to remember that they are mentally about the equivalent of a 2-year-old child. You don’t open the door and tell a child to go play endlessly. That would be dangerous to the child, who could decide to go play in the street or throw stones at another child. Two-year-old children need supervision and guidance, just like our dog needs it to feel secure and relaxed.

A huge part of being a parent or a dog owner is to look ahead and see what the potential dangers are that could hurt our child or dog. Then, we take steps to set our dog up for success so the danger does not occur.

As a simple example, if we take our dog hiking and he doesn’t have a 100 percent recall, no matter what, it could mean he leaves for long distances only to run into a predatory animal in the woods and we never see him again. We know this, but our dog doesn’t. It’s our job to teach our dog a recall, and to set boundaries so he follows our commands and doesn’t get hurt.

That is the part beyond exercise that we must always consider. We must think beyond a behavior – any behavior – to the potential harm that can come to our dog and others. Then, we must set our dog up for success in performing another, safer and more comfortable behavior to create a happy, well-adjusted dog.

column movie review

‘Mr. Holmes’

The Great Sleuth’s Last Case

BY JONATHAN KANE

I

n Bill Condon’s fine new film, “Mr. Holmes,” we see the great detective as we’ve never seen him before; specifically, at the ripe old age of 93, living out his days on the English coast in his beloved house tending to his bees and contemplating mortality. The time is 1947 and Holmes is in search of a cure for memory loss.

That is the jumping-off point for the movie that skillfully intertwines three stories and features one titanic performance

by Ian McKellan. The movie is based on the 2005 novel, “A Slight Trick of the Mind,” by Mitch Cullins.

Ostensibly, the film is about Holmes trying to crack the case that sent him into retirement 30 years earlier but, at its heart, it is the story of a great mind struggling with loss and regret.

Of the three stories, by far the most captivating is the one that finds Holmes dealing with the inevitable end of his life. He lives with his devoted servant, played

by Laura Linney, who he treats indifferently, and her charming 14-year-old son. That part falls to Milo Parker, who displays an

amazing range and steals almost every scene he’s in. Indeed, the highlights of the film are the exchanges between Parker and McKellan. For his part, all you need to do is watch McKellan’s eyes; his transformation from a 60-year-old to a 90-year-old is genius.

The case that he never cracked concerns a woman who has suffered two miscarriages and comes to a suitable conclusion. The other story concerns Holmes’ trip to Hiroshima in search of a plant with restorative powers that can only be found in the ashes of the aftermath of the bomb.

The stories are serviceable, but the real star is McKellan in a performance that should not be missed. tws

Sun Valley Fabric Granary Celebrates 10th Anniversary

BY MIKE MCKENNA

Close to 30 percent of 10th-, 11th- and 12th-graders in Blaine County self-reported that they had used prescription medications non-medically.

We Can Keep Rx Abuse In Check usage among local teens.

By The Drug Coalition

O

ne of The Drug Coalition’s current objectives is to reduce prescription drug abuse in Blaine County, a goal that in numerous ways local residents can help us achieve.

Last spring, The Drug Coalition collected data on prescription drug abuse from 6th-, 8th- 10th- and 12th-graders in the county. The results were staggering: close to 30 percent of 10th- and 12th-graders self-reported that they had used prescription medications non-medically, meaning they used Rx drugs that hadn’t been prescribed to them.

We then followed up with local 11th-graders; they reported a similar usage percentage. The students reported that they obtained a majority of the drugs from friends and family members. In other words, they aren’t going out on the street to get these drugs, most of which are stimulants such as Ritalin and Aderall (often prescribed for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD) and opiate-based painkillers.

The good news is that, since the students are scoring these drugs from friends, family members and likely locations such as medicine cabinets, regular people can really make a difference in reducing the availability of these substances, hopefully resulting in decreased

Our initiatives The Drug Coalition is currently conducting an education campaign to inform parents about the issue and to encourage them not to allow their children to regulate their own prescription medications.

We are conducting an education campaign for all local residents to securely store prescription medications and properly dispose of unused or expired medications. We are working with local pharmacies to provide convenient drop-off locations for these drugs.

We are also working closely with St. Luke’s so local doctors inform their patients of proper storage and disposal methods before the patients even pick up their prescriptions.

ust like Linus of “Peanuts” fame, my 5-year-old son is addicted to his blanket. And while a part of me wishes he’d outgrow it, another part realizes he never will—nor should he.

For most of us, especially now that the weather has started to turn cold again, our favorite possessions include a blanket or quilt or two… something made by hand, with care and love, from a family member or friend.

That’s why quilting has long been a big part of the fabric of life for all of us. It’s one of those rare and wonderful crafts that are as enjoyable for those who make quilts as they are for those lucky enough to receive them. That’s one of the main reasons why the Sun Valley Fabric Granary has been such a successful and popular place, and why it’s celebrating its 10th anniversary in Hailey this month.

“The local quilting commu-

nity is pretty healthy,” said the Fabric Granary’s owner, Rebecca Mitchell.

Mitchell bought the business, which was then called Quilts This and That, in 2005. She soon changed the name and moved the store to its current location at 122 South Main Street.

“I do enjoy being on Main Street,” Mitchell said. “I love the view.”

“It’s very warm and welcoming and people love the color,” said Jane Acomb, who’s been teaching quilting classes at the Fabric Granary for five years.

“It’s like a big magnet on the street that pulls people in.”

The great location has definitely played a role in the success of the Fabric Granary, but that’s just part of the reason the business is still growing a decade later.

Mitchell said their clientele consists of a healthy mix of locals, visitors, and an ever-growing online sales component.

Another big key has been the

“It’s just groups of people that enjoy the same crafts and each others’ company,” said Jane Acomb. “It’s fun to get together and to make new friends.”

The Fabric Granary sells everything needed for quilting, as well as some craft and gift items.

The store is also a popular stop for well-known quilters and fabric designers. You never know when someone like Kaffe Fassett, Janet Houts, or artist Leslie Rego will drop by.

“I’ve always enjoyed sewing and crafts and textiles and I thought I’d love to do this some day,” Mitchell said about her decade-long run as owner of the Sun Valley Fabric Granary. “It’s just worked out.”

‘TOUCH OF EVIL’ SCREENING 7PM / MAGIC LANTERN CINEMAS / KETCHUM The second annual Sun Valley Film Noir Series continues its screenings, themed “Born to Be Bad,” with “Touch of Evil” directed by Orson Welles. Guest speakers include Ketchum residents Charles Brandt, a distinguished retired attorney and New York Times best-selling true-crime author, and Vernon Scott, an accomplished writer, actor and radio personality. The Film Noir Series will screen the director’s cut of this classic film.

Tickets are $10 and are available at the Magic Lantern Cinemas box office. For details about this film event or for any interests in becoming a supporter, e-mail Jeannine Gregoire at jeanninegregoire@ gmail.com.

living well - UI-Blaine Extension Tips

By Sarah Busdon

M

agic Valley Horticulture is a program offered through the University of Idaho Extension. Every few years a Master Gardener course is offered in Blaine County. The key elements to being a Master Gardener are: Programming, Learning, Teaching, Serving, Reporting, and Meeting.

Programming: The Master Gardener program is only offered every few years in Blaine County, taught by Extension specialists and Extension educators. The class provides extensive horticulture training in subjects such as basic botany, soils and composting, insects and disease management, landscape design, vegetable

Master Gardeners

and fruit production, tree and shrub identification and care, water conservation, and much more.

Learning: In order to stay current in your Master Gardener education, you are required to fill some time each year refreshing your mind on horticulture topics.

Teaching: The Master Gardener program is designed to prepare local gardeners to teach in their communities. With the help of your local Extension office, you can give back to your community.

Serving: As a Master Gardener, you are asked to be visible in your community. You can do this by organizing a community beautification project with the city council, a church or homeowners’ association, or you can volunteer to lead diagnostic clinics, etc.

Reporting: A Master Gardener keeps track of their service hours within their community.

Meeting: Master Gardeners meet regularly with their Extension offices.
