Governor Issues Proclamation

Senate’s 1st Hindu Invocation

daho Governor C. L. “Butch” Otter has issued a proclamation declaring April 1 as “Rajan Zed day” after Hindu statesman Zed and mentioning “historical first Hindu invocation in the Idaho State Senate” of March 3. Three Idaho state senators reportedly refused to attend this Hindu invocation and one of them reportedly stated in a media interview, “Hindu is a false faith with false gods.” The proclamation, issued in Lenore, Idaho, and carrying the Seal of the State of Idaho and signatures of Governor C. L. “Butch” Otter and Secretary of State Lawrence Denney, says, “… on March 3, 2015 the historical first Hindu invocation in the Idaho State Senate was read by Rajan Zed,

President of the Universal Society of Hinduism…” It further states, “… Zed’s initiatives to bring various religious communities together throughout the world so that they can live in peace and mutual trust and enrich themselves through dialogue should be honored…” Proclamation also points out, “…it is important to honor Zed’s leadership role in attempting to help the helpless…” It adds, “…Zed works tirelessly to uplift about 15 million Roma (Gypsies) people of Europe who live in apartheid conditions by frequently speaking about their maltreatment, issues and concerns; and urging other religious leaders to do the same…”

Telecommunicator of the Year BY KRISTY HEITZMAN

he Blaine County Communications Center (Dispatch) is the first responder to any and all incidents in Blaine County. The telecommunicators are the calming voices that try to decipher the story from a panicked caller reporting a 911 emergency. Barb Williams has been nominated as telecommunicator of the year because she does this with such clarity and quality. Williams explained that, depending on the person calling, she uses a different tone of voice to help soothe the caller. She will talk differently to a child than an adult. She said that all the dispatchers do this. Williams was brought up with a law enforcement background in the East. She worked as a volunteer firefighter in Connecticut. Her career in the Wood River Valley started out with the Ketchum Police Department as a record clerk and secondary dispatch. She worked in Animal Control and then as a 911 dispatcher. Williams’ passion is working with dogs and she is the owner and facilitator of Dogs Play N Train in Hailey. She has helped with the training of search and rescue dogs and uses some of the same tactics when dealing with panicked callers. She is calm, patient and coaches people with her words to give support until the EMT/fire/police arrive on the scene. Williams loves what she does and loves being able to help people. It is true that a job that is so selfless is not for everyone ~ it truly is a quality and skill set that someone is born with. Remarkably, dispatch never gets to hear how the incident ends. Was everyone okay? How did the fire start? They help calm the caller, call out to the proper responders and move on to the next crisis ~ talk about high stress! The public has to realize that public safety dispatchers only deal with emergencies. The 911 system is not designed to receive calls when things go right but, instead, when there are true emergencies. Having to deal with this type of stress, all the time, takes special people. Barb handles her stress by exercising ~ she takes walks and gets outside to enjoy the mountains. She said solitude helps. Dispatchers cannot discuss any calls with anyone. It is private information, and confidential. Telecommunicators have one of the hardest jobs around, working to help protect and serve their community. Next time you see Barb Williams, be sure to thank her for all that she does. Th e W e e k l y S u n •

rue beauty comes from showing the world the well of sweetness that resides in all our hearts; for that well to spring abundantly, our souls ~ female and male alike ~ must glow with confidence and health. Nurturing the healthy side of beauty and the confidence within is what Spa Beleza in Hailey is all about. The “petite skin care retreat’s” team wants to help locals and visitors look and feel amazing at any age. The spa has also recently welcomed a new talent to the staff, esthetician Shanon Christensen. Christensen has 11 years experience in the industry and knows the techniques, technologies and tools of the trade. She started her career with Spa Beleza’s specialty training, so her path has come full circle now that she’s returned to the firm. Kristi Sutton, who’s been a cosmetologist for 28 years, adds a her own well tuned professional skillset and vast knowledge of custom skin care to

the mix. She has worked with Spa Beleza for the past eight years. Christensen, Sutton and owner Collette Nicholson Rainey (33 years experience, totalling 73 years for the team) all specialize in rosacea, collagen & elastin building therapies, acne treatments, hyperpigmentation and multiple esthetic practices.

The spa crew truly cares about the company’s clients and work to find solutions to their goals, no matter what those objectives might be, or even if they’re unsure and just have questions. “We offer free consultations and really take the time to sit down with each client and talk through everything,” Rainey said. They’ll work with clients to reach their goals inside the spa as well as at home. When asked what the most important tip for skin care is, Collette quickly stated, “Sunscreen.

during the day.” Spa Beleza offers a wide variety of treatments, from facials and peels, to masking and waxing, as well as high-tech specialty therapies that will make a big difference in skin. Rainey knew her calling when she was only 13 years old, she said in an interview “My mother asked me if I wanted to take ballet lessons or modeling lessons,” she said. “Since I was already a jazz dancer at the time, I said I’d do modeling lessons.” During those classes, she learned a wide variety of modeling related topics from several different experts. “Someone came in and talked about skin care, and I knew right then exactly what I wanted to do,” she said. Wasting no time, Rainey went directly to skin care school, became an esthetician right out of high school and she has been practicing ever since. She still has the same goals as when she first went to school. “I just want to help people feel beautiful,

like I do with the teens and with people in mid and older age. I want to make their skin look more vibrant and more healthy.” Rainey likes to concentrate on teens with acne, as well as adults. It’s her belief that during the teenage years, humans build on their self-esteem and come into who they are. “The kids suffering from severe acne look in the mirror and say they’re so ugly,” she said. “I like working with acne clients because they get relief and results.” And, it’s not just for girls and women ~ men also benefit from healthy skin.

Redfish Lake provides a striking backdrop to May’s conservation-focused “Wild Idaho!” conference. The 2015 conference commemorates the 20th anniversary of wolves being reintroduced to Idaho’s wildlands. Courtesy photo

‘Wild’ Endeavors For Idaho BY P.M. FADDEN

Don’t miss out on a magical Summer!

edfish Lake Lodge is the venue for the May gathering of “Wild Idaho!” The Idaho Conservation League (ICL) hosts the May 15-17 conference, an annual event featuring presentations, activities and guest visits set upon the shores of the popular alpine lake. “This is a great conference in a great location,” said Betsy Mizell, Ketchum ICL representative. “May is a great time of year at Redfish Lake.” Founded in 1973, the ICL crusades for building awareness among the general populace for both resource consent and conservation initiatives. ICL pledges to expand environmental education and bring conser-

vation issues to the forefront of majority thinking in Idaho. Today, over 20 full-time ICL staff head a statewide schedule coordinating countless volunteers at work on a myriad of projects throughout the year. Action areas of the ICL agenda include water, wildlife, wildlands and climate. “What ICL does is important to our community, because our community cares about our environment,” said Mizell. The 2015 “Wild Idaho!” conference coincides with the 20th anniversary of the reintroduction of wolves to Idaho. Conference organizers list a range of presentations to take place over three days and two nights. Topics include grizzly bear

education, discussion of coho salmon, lamprey, caribou and other wildlife, and trapping. “‘Wild Idaho!’ is a special event because it brings people together who might not ordinarily have the chance to meet and discuss important issues,” said Mizell. Film producer Isaac Babcock is attending as guest speaker, and Representative Mike Simpson also plans to attend the event. Rep. Simpson will address issues pertaining to the Boulder-White Clouds conservation effort. “One great aspect [to Wild Idaho!] is the opportunity to interact with attendees on multiple avenues,” added Mizell. “A camaraderie develops from those interactions.” continued, next page

Daytime activities include field trips, trekking and relaxed enjoyment of the Redfish Lake area. Evening entertainment includes a banquet complete with silent auction prizes to conference attendees. Early bookings to “Wild Idaho!” are essential. ICL website data lists a range of price packages pertaining to this year’s conference. Late registration fees will be assessed on any bookings occurring post-May 1. Event lodgings include shared cabin and camping options. Shared cabin accommodation requires a personal supply of duffel and linen. Conference organizers emphasize that the Redfish Lake wildlife area is a “no-dog” zone. The ICL is established statewide with local assets in Hailey and Ketchum. Aside from their active outdoor presence, the ICL

offers environmental education programs specifically designed to reach audiences with important data. Programs such as “Science Pub” invite ICL associates and environmental experts into comfortable settings to speak directly with residents on topics related to local areas and livelihoods. Additional ICL events include trail cleanup, camps and conservation-related activities intended to “keep Idaho, Idaho.” “The ICL comes from multiple angles to get things done,” said Mizell. “We’re constantly accessible and that builds success. Really, the ICL is about more than events and programs; it’s about building relationships.” For more information on ICL events, or to learn more about becoming involved in ICL events, visit idahoconservation.org. tws

Strides To Protect The Middle Class The 2015 Legislative session marked a momentous shift in investing in education, improving health and safety of Idaho and keeping a focus on the prosperity of middle class workers and families. Something powerful happened this year, the voice of Idahoans became stronger and Idaho Democrats listened and took their words to heart. Our schools will see a 7.4 percent budget increase next year. We took immediate action in response to the Idaho Education Network debacle. Greater scrutiny will be given to future contracts and we are reminded that local communities are often best suited to identify and manage their needs. Upon voiding the IEN contract, school districts realized a 37 percent savings in broadband services. The Spokesman Review reported that Post Falls School District alone is saving $8,000 a month and getting far better service. This session, Idaho Democrats remained focused on putting dollars in the pockets of average Idahoans and helping them keep them. We stopped a middle class tax hike. We recognized the importance of our recreation industry and seek to expand its inf luence on Idaho’s economy. We also protected our legacy of hunting, fishing and recreating on public lands. We stopped an interstate compact to privatize public lands. We stopped the creation of another costly commission devoted to taking over public lands. We are proud of other great victories to make Idaho safer and healthier. Idaho Democratic lawmakers leave this Legislature energized and optimistic. The work this year has been mighty, because it is backed by the people. We are proud our accomplishments and we, again, thank the people of Idaho for all you do and giving us the honor of representing you.

There is something about Judge Sergio Gutierrez that commands respect. He listens intensely, carefully reflecting on his answers, then responds like a man who has struggled with hardship but has finally arrived to a place where harmony and peace coexist. It has been a long and difficult journey for Judge Gutierrez. “Education is crucial after you find yourself, and it gives you the freedom to be able to serve others; otherwise, you end up struggling to survive,” he said. Looking for employment opportunities, the young man found his way to Idaho, where he secured work at the Idaho Migrant Council, in Nampa. At the same time, he continued his studies at Boise State University and that led to a job working at Idaho Legal Aid Services, in Caldwell. “When I came to Idaho in 1975, this was basically an agricultural state,” said Gutierrez. “There was no need to look to higher education to make a living, but life has changed in a sense that we are now looking at jobs that require a minimum of two years of college or even a four-year college education.” Realizing that there was a pronounced lack of Latino lawyers in Idaho, Gutierrez enrolled at the University of California, Hastings Law School. In 2002, Governor Dirk Kempthorne appointed him to serve on the Idaho Court of Appeals, the intermediate level appellate court for the

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

state. He laments the lack of a Latino presence in Idaho courts. “I am sad to say it has been a lonely journey for me here in Idaho,” he said. “In 1993, I became the first Latino judge, and here we are in 2015 and I am still the only Latino judge.” When asked how could a person who has fallen on bad times find a way out, Gutierrez said, “We have to remain hopeful that things can change. Sometimes change comes slowly but I have come to know that there are many resources in the community that we can tap into when we are struggling, when we have hard times. That is one of the beautiful things about America.” Discussing fairness, Judge Gutierrez said that there is a distinction between lawfulness and fairness and so we need to be mindful of that. “As a judge you apply the law, not by your own views or your own sense of morality,” he said. “You undertake to defend the Constitution of the State and you apply it as it has been handed down to you. If the laws are wrong, we have the ability to write opinions ~ in my case, with three other judges ~ but those opinions need to be approved by a majority. And you can do so if you have the grounds upon which to do it. In other words, you cannot be going off on your own without any authority to support what it is you believe is the right thing to do in that particular case. You always do it within the confines of what authority

Ap r i l 1 5 , 2 0 1 5

can you rely upon to present your position.” In his spare time, Gutierrez is very active in the community. He frequently visits schools and other youth organizations to promote education and his story serves as inspiration to many. According to an article by Sharon Strauss, Gutierrez is involved in numerous programs, including The Canyon County Valley Youth Initiative, the Quinceañera/Stay in School Program, the Latino Vote, the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs Latino Youth Summit and the Hispanic Youth Symposium, which until recently took place in Ketchum. When it comes to Sun Valley, Gutierrez says that he enjoyed being there with his Hispanic Youth Symposium, and was grateful for the support the Latino high school students got from the community. “But I also hope that people in Sun Valley recognize that, aside from those of us who come for just a few days, there is a Latino presence there,” he said. “I would like to remind everyone that appreciation for one another is really what creates a community that is thriving, a great place to raise a family, a great place to operate one’s own business. I think the element of appreciation creates a better place to live, where people are looking to help each other. And although the community is still diverse, it is still in harmony, still at peace, and that should be the end goal.”

Bringing Back The Music Rosewood County Band reunites BY YANNA LANTZ

fter a 20-year hiatus, Al Yates and Linda Van Zeipel, stage name Linda Reynolds, have rekindled the country Rosewood County Band. Both hail originally from Oregon, but they have been Wood River Valley residents since the early 70’s; the two began playing folk music when they first met in Ketchum in 1973. Their first performance together took place in 1974, at Elkhorn Resort’s grand opening in Sun Valley. Although the band performed together for last 20 years on and off, now, Rosewood County is playing the Valley again in full swing.

“We’d have locals ask us, ‘are you ever gonna play again’ or ‘are you playing?’” Reynolds said. “Now we are!” Rosewood describes its music as contemporary, classic country ~ California Country. Yates leads on the guitar and harmonica while Reynolds rocks the bass. Together, the two harmonize and compliment each other’s vocals. Hundreds of songs from folk, to blues, to rock and beyond are in their arsenal. Yates has been involved in music his whole life. “In college I stayed out in the parking lot learning the guitar and Bob Dylan songs instead of going to class,” he laughed. Yates also writes original songs. His Idaho favorites include “Country’s Gone From Ketchum,” “Wood River Blues” and “Springtime In The Whiteclouds.” Reynolds got into the music scene from her time in southern California in 1973. “I started playing with local musicians and one thing led to another,” she said. Through the years, the two have played all over the Western U.S., Alaska, Canada, the Virgin Islands,

Musicians Al Yates, standing, and Linda Reynolds, sitting, started playing as the folk duo Rosewood County in the swinging ’70s. The two first met in Ketchum and have played nearly every local venue. Courtesy photo

as well as their own Wood River Valley home turf and Stanley. “We’ve played just about every club around here, as they came and went,” Reynolds said. “Slaveys, Mulvaney’s, the Ore House…even once inside the Ore Wagon Museum after the Ketchum Wagon Days parade.” “We primarily played premier summer venues for private catered parties, weddings ~ most often for conventions at Trail Creek Cabin and Limelight room for Sun Valley Resort,”

Yates said. “And we played on several occasions in Elkhorn, Rocky Mountain Ranch and Redfish Lake Lodge. We can provide country dance music as a duo with a digital drummer clear on up to a five piece group, depending on the needs of the event.” As a duo, Yates and Reynolds go by Rosewood. They go by Rosewood County when other members are added in. Travis Brunner on the pedal steel guitar and Jason Vontver on drums are the most recent additions. The “fun factor” is what brought the band together after 20 years. “I have a music store, and a fellow [Brunner] came in the door one day and said he was a pedal steel player and, ‘did I know anyone who played old country and Waylon Jennings tunes,’” Yates explained. “I hadn’t played music in a long time and I realized a major thing was missing in my life, and I called her [Reynolds] up and asked if she might be interested.” “And I went, ‘WHAT!? YES!’” Reynolds cheerfully exclaimed. “So we put it together, and we’re very lucky that we have two very proficient musicians on the drums [Vontver] and pedal steel [Brunner],” Yates said. Rosewood County recently played at the Syringa Mountain School hoedown fundraiser. They recorded a music project in 1990, and plan to record again this summer. The musicians are available for shows, upcoming events and private parties across the Valley. For more information about Rosewood County or to book the musicians, call 208-788-1000.

Forty years later, Rosewood County is making music and playing for locals again. Left to right, Linda Reynolds, Al Yates and Travis Brunner. Courtesy photo

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR APRIL 15 FROM PICABO ANGLER

here is some pretty fine weather in the forecast this week. Warm days give fly anglers a great chance to explore. With temperatures in the mid-seventies down on the Snake River, and a bright sun to go with it, the Carp fishing should be excellent! Use your favorite Damsel Fly Nymphs, tied upside down so that the hook point rides sticking up. Find yourself some Carp along the banks, bays and backwaters of the Snake and try to present your offering right on their noses. Fishing a 10-foot length of 2x Fluorocarbon is about right, with minor adjustments for water clarity and finicky fish. The reservoir fishing should pick back up, if the wind will stay down a bit more this week than last. A calm, warm day on Magic Reservoir, the Little Wood Reservoir or even Anderson Ranch Reservoir for some Bass can be one of the most fun days anglers can have on the water. Take long leaders and your favorite streamers and enjoy the tight-line retrieve and take! The Lost River and the Little Wood River remain open for fishing. The spawning activity on the Lost should be increasing in the coming days and weeks, so please be careful about not walking on the Redds of spawning fish. On calm days, expect to fish Baetis Dries on the Lost and when the wind comes up, plan of Nymphing. The Little Wood is primarily a place to cast Streamers right now, with a little bit of opportunity to cast some Nymphs. There are still a few Steelhead Trout to be caught on the Salmon River, although one can expect angler numbers to spike with the beautiful weather. If you go, be aware the fish are well into their spawning activity now, so be aware of their Redds also. Spring is such a great season here. Take advantage of the weather and the opportunity to explore! Search the Malad River and Billingsley Creek, try to time ice-out on the low elevation lakes and look for arrowheads and morels while you look for fish. The Bass fishing on Carey Lake has been good; Fish Creek Reservoir may still hold a few surprises. Try little Brook Trout in Lake Creek, which can become an adventure in the spring. We are also on the cusp of the new season, so if you tie flies, now is the time. P.M.D., Baetis and Brown Drakes will all be upon us soon.

SOUL campfire spring

Poems, My Inky Tattoos during the spring of 2009.

By Brennan Francisco Rego Keffer

I found the following few lines written on a balled-up piece of paper in my suitcase after returning from a term abroad in Florence, Italy, during my junior year of college, spring of 2007. There, art students from all around the world congregate to study their craft. They highly respect the renaissance structures and works of art. And, as soon as anything new comes up, they amplify the structure’s beauty with the most incredible graffiti I’ve ever seen.

Uncommon Loons BR Two uncommon loons croon love At sunset on their lake, One slim-lined, breathtaking hen And one husky, lusty drake.

Florence (Found Poem) BR And, the graffiti, bursting brilliant Of 21st century jubilation, With mixed feelings of freedom, jubilation, trepidation, hope Over renaissance skeletons ~ Like too few life rafts on too big a sinking ship.

Cooling wavelets ripple scarlet passion ‘Round their cress-crowned islet new spring home. Long reflections lap in twilight fashion, Glinting off the drift like ochre chrome. Hen loon bobs to catch a final, scrumptious tidbit From off the lakebed soil. And her trusty drake roams ‘round, Circling, with watchful eyes for fox to foil.

Waxy quills shake off the grazing day As vibrant evening desaturates to gray. And the two loons waddle up their mossy islet’s earth To make their nightly, spritely berth. Behold their necks entwined! ~ Two feathered lines to trace. The calm breeze whispers romance; The shadows promise grace. And sunrise will soon caress them With the blooming birth of day To wing them far above their nest And on their merry way. “Campfire ....” is The Weekly Sun’s editorial voice by Publisher & Editor Brennan Rego. Send topic ideas that discuss life in the Wood River Valley area to brennan@theweeklysun.com.

This one I wrote when I first became interested in newswriting during the spring of 2012. The Hard Questions BR now and again we must all inspect that looking glass as natural seekers of the naked facts as students of the real world we must ask the hard questions and evoke, expose and let flourish the truffle of truth that we each harbor without watering often enough decomposers grow best when we compose our conduct and give more to fellow folk than the sleeves of our vests now. and again and again at least just the once This last one I wrote after watching a pair of common loon birds hanging out at a lake one day

As a Wood River Valley resident for almost a year, I have been fortunate to see the sheer beauty of where we live through three full seasons. Summer is enchanting: vibrant greens, flowing blues in the Big Wood River and smiles on everyone’s face for miles. People fish all day long, swim in the glory of nature and grill up tasty bites to share with people they just met. It was the most magical summer of my life and one I will never forget. Fall was unlike any fall I’ve experienced on the East Coast ~ an area known for fall. The leaves here are almost neon in color: the brightest orange, red, green and yellow I’ve seen in trees to date. The air is still warm, and looming fog adds a mystique to some special days.

Winter here is like living in a postcard. If I have to do winter, it’s guaranteed I’ll be doing it here from now until eternity. White lights line the streets and white icing dusts houses, mountains and noses. The sent of hot chocolate fills the air as couples snuggle by bonfires to keep warm. Along with most, I had wished for more snow because it adds the finishing touch to any winter. But, it was breathtaking while it lasted. Next up: SPRING! I look forward to uncovering the beauty of spring in the Valley through hikes, time on the rivers and at gardens. I have no doubt it will be as glorious as the other three seasons.

The Earth Speaks: Who Listens? BY DICK DORWORTH

“Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.” ~ Juvenal

uman beings inhabited North America for tens of thousands of years before the alien (European) latecomers took over the continent. All the Indian tribes collectively termed “Native Americans” embraced belief systems and life practices which were intrinsically ecological and regarded nature as sacred and humans as part of rather than rulers over that nature.

They viewed animals, vegetation and the Earth as “a great chain of being,” of which humans were members, not masters, honoring each link of that great chain, including, but not limited to, the human connection. That respect allowed Native American people to pay attention to and listen to Earth describe its organic needs. Survival depended on that respect and ability to listen. It still does. The Earth speaks. Who listens? I grew up accustomed to humungous annual snowfall in the Sierra Nevada of my childhood, and the current California drought brings into focus the wisdom of Native Americans and the apparent deafness of modern America. Recent mainstream deaf refrains include a Dick Dorworth is a Wall Street Journal editorial Blaine County resident, blaming Governor Jerry Brown author and former world for California’s drought woes, record holder for speed on suggesting that “…he and other skis. Visit his website and politicians can stop compound- blog at dickdorworth.com. ing the damage by putting water storage, transportation and market pricing above environmental obsessions.” The New Yorker’s Andy Borowitz reported a few other disconnected reactions to the Earth’s human-caused climate change environmental stresses, including a poll conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute. The poll found that “…rising sea levels, the destruction of habitats and catastrophic weather conditions, such as hurricanes and tsunamis, have not served as the wake-up call to Americans that their lawns’ unsightly barrenness has. In interviews across the state of California, residents expressed anger and outrage that climate change had been allowed to worsen to the point that it has now severely limited their choice of ground cover, shrubs and other decorative plantings.” “Right now we’re looking at a situation where we have to choose between saving our climbing hydrangeas or our roses,” said Tracy Klugian, of San Diego. “We are no longer living like humans.” Carol Foyler, a San Mateo resident, blamed scientists “… for failing to warn us of the true cost of climate change. They always said that polar bears would starve to death,” she said. “But they never told us our lawns would look like crap.” Some of what the Earth is saying is trickling through to some, as evidenced by Gov. Brown’s executive order earlier this month to curtail water use by 25 percent. California homeowners who refused to hear the Earth (or its scientists) speaking of the causes of and connections between hurricanes, tsunamis, rising ocean levels, dead polar bears and hydrangeas and unsightly lawns would do well do listen to the Earthly fact that it takes 700 gallons of water to grow the alfalfa necessary to produce one gallon of milk and 425 gallons of water to produce four ounces of beef. Chief Seattle, who listened to the Earth, likely said it best in 1854: “Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.”

ocal student Kristian Whittaker chooses to not take life so seriously and enjoy the ride instead. Whittaker, a Community School junior with a grade point average of 3.8, describes himself as “an entertaining, slightly dashing young man who probably seems a bit too cocky for his own good until you get to know him...and seems that way after you’ve gotten to know him, too.” He’s a natural entertainer, but also loves snowboarding in the backcountry, skateboarding, Ultimate Frisbee and surfing.

Whittaker moved from Ashford, Wash., to the Wood River Valley in fifth grade, though he still stays in Washington during his summers. He started attending Community School this past fall, a school he chose for its outdoor program and challenging academics. “My favorite subjects are international relations, because I find the material to be incredibly interesting and Chad Carlson is an amazing teacher, and really any English course,” he said. “But I believe that I can love any subject provided the teacher is good, and I have to say that so far my experience with the teachers at Community School has been exceptional.” Whittaker believes his greatest accomplishment, so far, is that he’s on good terms with almost everyone he’s met. “I think I’ve done a pretty good job of keeping myself in the good graces of almost

“Don’t take life too seriously. No one gets out alive.” “I love this mantra because, while I do believe that work ethic and seriousness are valuable traits, I think that it is just as important, if not more so, to live life to its fullest and enjoy every moment of it,” Whittaker said. His advice to fellow students is to avoid the antics and drama associated with high school. “Just like I advocate not taking life too seriously, I emphasize that for high school,” Whittaker explained. “Don’t get so caught up in this little Valley and these four years that you forget that there is an entire world out there waiting for you. It’s just high school, man.”

everyone around me...which should come in handy when I start asking for favors,” he jested. Acting is a new and emerging passion for Whittaker, though he’s always considered himself an entertainer. He got the theatre bug after participating in the fall musical at Community School, “Guys and Dolls.” “I always thought of acting and drama in general as a bit of a joke, and was never one to go and watch plays or musicals,” he explained. “But...I realized that there was something incredible about being able to make people laugh, cry or even hate you just by adding a bit of flair to some words in a script.” The student’s life philosophy is borrowed from U.S. author Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915) and the fictional college king Van Wilder:

ating smart can be as easy as using MyPlate, a simple visual guide to filling your plate with a variety of healthy foods. MyPlate (www.choosemyplate.gov) shows five food groups that make up a healthy eating plan: vegetables, fruits, grains, protein and dairy. Each of these groups provides specific nutrients that your body needs for good health.

Think of MyPlate when choosing what to eat: 1. Start by filling half your plate with fruits and vegetables. Remember to vary your vegetables. All vegetables and 100 percent vegetable juices make up the vegetable group. Vegetables and fruits may be eaten raw or cooked and can be fresh, canned, frozen or dried. Use them whole, cut up or pureed. Vegetables are a good source of vitamin A and C, folate (folic acid), potassium and dietary fiber. Fruits provide potassium, vitamin C, folate (folic acid) and dietary fiber. Vegetables and fruits contain no cholesterol and most vegetables and fruits are low in fat and

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

calories. 2. Add a lean protein such as beef, pork, chicken, beans or nuts to one-quarter of the plate. The protein food group includes both animal and plant protein. Choose lean meat choices such as loin or round cuts and poultry with skin removed. Foods in this group are good sources of protein, B vitamins, vitamin E, zinc, magnesium, iron (animal sources) and fiber (plant sources). 3. Fill the last quarter of your plate with grains, especially whole grains. Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, corn, barley or other cereal grains is part of the grains group. Bread, pasta, tortillas, crackers, oatmeal and breakfast cereals are examples. Grains are important sources of many nutrients, including complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, several B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and folate) and minerals (iron, magnesium and selenium). Make at least half of your grain choices whole grains. Whole-grain foods contain the entire grain

kernel. Refined grains have been milled, a process that removes the bran and germ and several nutrients. 4. Don’t forget a serving of fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt or cheese. Dairy products are especially important for bone health. They are a great source of calcium, potassium, phosphorous and protein, and they are often fortified with vitamin D.

Hurtig Shooting Center

Making Your Vehicle a Desirable Classic!

BY MIKE MCKENNA

he great thing about real heroes is that their legacies carry on well beyond their own lives. Ben Hurtig was a hero to his country and to his community. A Marine in World War II and Korea, Hurtig moved to the Wood River Valley after retiring from the military with the rank of captain.

Here, he found the love of his life, his wife Peggy, and passed on his passion and skills as a shooter, running the Sun Valley Gun Club for nearly a quarter of a century. When Captain Hurtig passed in 2006, his obituary noted his special ability to teach kids “how to shoot straight and sit tall in the saddle.” Originally opened in 1982 as the Blaine County Gun Club, the Hurtig Shooting Center was renamed after the beloved local hero, Captain Hurtig, in 2007. The Hurtig Shooting Center is located just north of Hailey in Ohio Gulch. Unlike the other more limited local facilities, the Hurtig Shooting Center offers a variety of options for pistols, rifles or shotguns that includes a rifle/pistol range, five-stand, trap, wobble, skeet and sporting clays. It also sells shells, rents guns and has a cool, rustic clubhouse that can be used to host parties or events. “Most people don’t realize we’re here and all we have to offer,” said Chris Keirn, a local shooter.

Keirn is on the board of the nonprofit shooting center. Thanks to her, and passionate people like “No. 1 volunteer” Lorraine Wilcox, the Hurtig Center is one of the hidden gems of Hailey. “It’s a nice little social club,” Wilcox said, explaining that the Hurtig Center is fun for shooters of all ages and abilities and a welcoming place to meet and learn from other gun enthusiasts or hunters. “It’s a great place to come practice,” she added. The membership-based club is open to the public, as well. “We don’t turn anybody away,” said Keirn. “We like to call it a members’ club, but it’s very much a public shooting range.” With warm weather returning, the Hurtig Shooting Center will be open

weekly from Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and will host various events. Kids’ classes will start up April 22, ladies’ groups shoot on Fridays and certified instructor Dick Mandeville is available for lessons. One of the biggest events is the annual Captain Ben Hurtig Memorial Birthday Shootout, which not only honors the club’s namesake but also allows the good folks of the Wood River Valley to compete and see who’s the best shot in our blessed section of the Old West.

Just Stay ‘Home’ BY YANNA LANTZ

reamWorks Animation’s new film “Home” is a worse version of Disney’s 2002 release “Lilo and Stich,” at best. As a supporter of DreamWorks in the past for producing the smart and witty animation found in such gems as “Chicken Run” (2000), “Shrek” (2001) and “How to Train Your Dragon” (2010), I was looking forward to their newest creation. However, I left disappointed, a little confused about the storyline and wishing I could get the past 90 minutes of my life refunded.

I’m a big lover of animated films, but there are many better versions of this story already sitting in thousands of homes or on Netflix. The basic plot, based off the book “The True Meaning of Smekday,” by Adam Rex, is this: there’s a PG alien invasion of Earth, an outcast alien befriends a lonely human girl, havoc ensues but is fixed in the end so everyone can be friends and have a big party. Sound familiar? This plot has already been explored, and done better, by “E.T.” (1982), “Lilo and Stich,” “Despicable Me” (2010), and most recently, “Paul” (2011)…to name a few. The interwoven message is to express individuality and realize that everyone fits in somewhere. So, why produce the most conventional and predictable plot under that umbrella? Additionally, some of the main points of the plot were dubious. If an

alien race invaded the planet and relocated almost every person to Australia, wouldn’t that be a bad idea? The human race has mastered atomic warfare, owns approximately 600 million guns in America alone and has had no problem declaring war in the past. But no, put all of humanity in one place during an alien invasion and everything will be just dandy. Rihanna voices the female protagonist “Tip” off of Jim Parsons’ Boov alien “Oh.” Jennifer Lopez plays Tip’s mother and Steve Martin voices the leader of the Boov race. Audiences definitely got their Rihanna fill; in addition to providing the voice of “Tip,” Rihanna also created a concept album of eight original songs titled “Home.” Three were used in the film’s soundtrack, along with a song by Jennifer Lopez. This film is an adequate distraction for young children and cheaper than a baby sitter; it’s chock-full of cute animated characters and lines from “Oh” like, “my hands are in the air like I just do not care.” But it’s mostly cheap laughs; i.e., “Ooohh, I too has to break pee.” The bottom line is save the hassle; just stay home and watch “Lilo and Stich” instead.

Transition To Summer Wheels BY SERGIO GONZALEZ

ith summer right around the corner, the time has come to transfer rigs from winter ice kings to summer gravel road rompers. Casey Ward, owner of Autoworks in Hailey, said there are a couple of easy tricks to ensure your preparations are cheap, effective and prolong the life of your vehicle.

Removing snow tires is a great place to start. Ward said that they are made of a softer, more expensive rubber. While tires will perform better, they will wear out faster. Also, studded tires are illegal on Idaho roads after April 10 due to the damage they can cause to road surfaces. Checking tire pressure is important. Under- or overinflating will lead to uneven tire wear and even blowouts. Ward said about a pound of pressure per month is lost through osmosis. “I kind of tease people to change their winter air to summer air in their tires,” said Ward. He said drivers can expect up to 6-pounds-per-square-inch (psi) difference on the sunny side of the tires with changing temperatures, and also that there are more aging cars on the road now above 100,000 miles because of the state of the economy. It is important to take extra care with older vehicles. Ward also recommended packing a basic roadside kit in cars including food, water, blankets and a

flashlight. “Keeping a box of granola bars and a half case of water will go a long way with a blanket,” said Ward. With breakdowns on highways, Ward recommended that drivers stay in their cars or stay off the road rather than set up flares, cones or triangles to avoid an accident. Pop open that hood during your next refill. Check oil level and color. Oil’s primary job is to clean the engine. It also lubricates and cools. Ward said leaving a vehicle idling, as drivers in the Valley tend to do in the winter, puts a strain on the engine and promotes buildup of sludge and carbon. In older cars, from the ’70s and ’80s, Ward recommended changing to heavier-weight oil because it degrades in higher temperatures. Newer cars are fine to run suggested oil year-round. Checking fluid levels and color will ensure your systems are running properly. Discoloration could mean contamination that can cause damage to hard-to-get parts. While checking under the hood, don’t forget to check the battery. Any white, flaky or pasty buildup is sulfuric acid corrosion, which can harm other systems as well. A smell of rotten eggs is a leak of hydrogen sulfide. Though rare, a gas leak can cause a small explosion under the hood and a big dent in the pocketbook. Ward said batteries typically

last only four to five years in the Wood River Valley. Also check belts and hoses. Soft, squishy or leaky hoses can mean contamination. Belts that are cracked and glazed from either age or maladjustment can break with no warning. Either belt or hose failure can lead to loss of important systems. “Those are the kinds of things that you can’t just limp into town Ap r i l 1 5 , 2 0 1 5

with without causing more problems,” said Ward. Lastly, blast your AC to make sure you are ready for the summer. Ward said AC is the most common fix he sees this time of year. “We like making sure their AC is up to snuff for the spring and summer,” said Ward. “So people can get their chill on.” tws

International Piano Festival

On Wednesday, April 22, through Saturday, April 25, Sun Valley Artist Series will present a four-day International Piano Festival. The festival will feature solo piano and piano concerti performances and is the largest free festival of its kind in the United States. Thanks to the generosity of patrons, donors and granting organizations, all nine concerts presented over the fourday period will be offered free to our community. All solo concerts and piano concerti presentations will take place at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood and will feature world-class pianists and international competition winners from Russia, China, Taiwan, Vietnam and USA. The five festival solo-piano performances will comprise some of the most moving works ever written for piano, including pieces by Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Debussy, Schumann, Liszt and others. Each solo performance will be preceded by an informal “Meet the Artist” interview hosted by Sun Valley Artist Series Artistic Director Susan Spelius Gannon. For the five concerti concerts, a second pianist will accompany the soloist ~ a collaborative role traditionally performed by an orchestra. As with the solo performances, these two-piano concerti will include some of the repertoire’s most powerful and best-loved works. A Steinway nine-foot concert grand will be featured throughout. In order to make International Piano Festival 2015 accessible to schools, to those unable to attend the performances in person, and for anyone living outside our area, Sun Valley Artist Series will be live-streaming all festival events worldwide, making the presentations and concerts available free online via the Sun Valley Artist Series website at www.svartistseries.org. For a complete a schedule of events, visit www.svartistseries.org.
