Low water levels at Magic Reservoir in south Blaine County are causing fish to concentrate, leading to good fishing, according to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.

Magic Reservoir at 4.22 percent of capacity Irrigation season ends early for downstream farmers

F

or the third year in a row, Lincoln County farmers who rely on Magic Reservoir in south Blaine County to water their crops had to end their irrigation season early.

The problem is lack of water.

On Tuesday, reservoir volume was reported by the Idaho Department of Water Resources at 8,761 acre feet, which is only 4.22 percent of the reservoir’s capacity of 191,000 acre feet.

“At this point, we can’t deliver to all our shareholders,” Carl Pendleton, board chairman of the Big Wood Canal Company, said Monday. “There just will not be anything that will accumulate that will allow us to release anything more for irrigation this year.”

The Big Wood Canal Company, whose shareholders have water rights to reservoir holdings, reported on its website that the water flows from the reservoir ended at about 7 p.m. on July 30.

Irrigation releases from the reservoir were ended on July 21 in 2014 and on June 28 in 2013.

As with the last two years, the short irrigation season will lead to millions of dollars in crop loss, Pendleton said. He said the company calculates the loss at about $100,000 per day. A normal irrigation season would run into September.

Regardless of the shortened irrigation season, Pendleton said most of the canal company’s water users will be able to stay in business, but that they might need to “have a job in town.”

The reservoir provides irrigation water through the Big Wood River and the Richfield Canal and its laterals to about 35,000 acres of farmland in Lincoln County.

Pendleton said most farmers served by the canal company anticipated and planned ahead for a short irrigation season, by mainly planting early-harvest crops such as barley and oats.

He said growers got about two and a half cuttings from their hay crops, where in a normal growing season they get four cuttings.

As with the past two years, farmers relying on the reservoir for irrigation avoided planting late-maturing crops such as corn, sugar beets and potatoes.

Pendleton said this year’s situation could have been worse, and that the canal company earlier anticipated ending the irrigation season in June. However, abundant rainfall, mainly in the Wood River Valley, which drains into the reservoir, kept the reservoir at useable levels for another month.

Pendleton said the rain has been helpful to farmers, both this summer and last summer, but that it would be better if the precipitation was in the form of snow so that the water could be used in more of a controlled manner.

The primary cause of low reservoir levels for the last three years has been below-average snowfall in the Big Wood River drainage area, which is mainly to the north of the reservoir in Blaine County.

The Idaho Department of Water Resources reported snowpack this spring in the Big Wood River drainage area at about 60 percent of normal.

Meanwhile, the reservoir is slowly refilling. Volume was listed by the Idaho Department of Water Resources at 8,068 acre feet on Monday, Aug. 10, and at 7,392 acre feet on Wednesday, Aug. 5.

An acre foot is the amount of water that would cover an acre of land at one foot deep.

Reservoir inflow from the Big Wood River was listed by the canal company on Tuesday at 50 cubic feet per second. That’s only about a quarter of the 200 cfs stream flow the U.S. Geological Survey reported on the Big Wood River on Tuesday near Hailey.

T h e W e e k ly S u n • a u g u s t 12, 2015

Pendleton said the water not making it to the reservoir is either being used by upstream water rights holders in the Bellevue Triangle or is being lost to seepage.

Fishery impacts Despite the low reservoir levels, fishing is good at Magic Reservoir, according the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.

“Fishing is coming on,” Doug Megargle, regional fisheries manager for Fish and Game, said Monday. “Trout fishing is good, the perch catch is rebounding and the bass catch is moderate to good.”

Megargle said the lower water level is concentrating the fish.

“It’s like taking an Olympic-size swimming pool and reducing it to a goldfish bowl,” he said.

Megargle said he observed more than 20 fishermen at a single time at the reservoir late last week. They were mainly catching rainbow trout in the 12-18 inch range.

He said the Big Wood River below the reservoir has only a small flow from dam seepage and springs in the area, but that the river remains “fishable” and that fish are able to survive if they stay in the large holes. Outside of the large holes, they may perish from lack of oxygen.

A fish salvage order has not been issued for the river immediately below the reservoir, but was issued in late July for the lower river and the Richfield Canal. Megargle said the salvage order starts at the old railroad trestle, which is about 1.25 miles below Magic Dam, and extends south from there.

With the salvage order in effect, there is no limit on how many fish can be taken. They can be caught by any method, excluding the use of firearms, explosives, chemicals and electrical current. The salvage order is in effect until Nov. 1. A valid fishing license is required. tws

Lara Spencer, owner and operator of The Dollhouse consignment boutique in Hailey, found this small plastic bag on the floor of her shop on Aug. 4. Hailey police confirmed Monday that the substance in the bag is heroin.

BY TERRY SMITH

P

olice confirmed Monday that a dark brown substance found last week at The Dollhouse consignment boutique on North Main Street in Hailey is the illegal drug, heroin.

The substance was found on Tuesday, Aug. 4, in a small plastic bag on the floor in a clothing section of the boutique by store owner and operator Lara Spencer, who notified Hailey police.

Spencer speculated in an interview Friday with The Weekly Sun that someone inadvertently dropped the bag while they were concealing two T-shirts that were also discovered missing at about the same time the heroin was found.

Spencer said that within a minute of finding the bag, two young girls, likely about 10 years old, walked into the area.

“It’s a miracle I found it first,” Spencer said. “It was in a small Ziploc bag with smiley faces stamped all over it and they could have thought it was candy.

It was enough to kill one of the kids. The most important fact is that when I found it, I was praying to God it wasn’t drugs.”

Hailey Police Lt. Steve England, who investigated the case, said Monday that he confirmed the substance was heroin by using a narcotics identification field kit in a process typically referred to as a “NIK test.”

He described the substance as a dark brown material with the consistency of wax.

He said it appears that most of the drug originally in the bag had already been used.

“It was a very small amount; I don’t think it was even enough

to draw in a needle,” England said, referring to the fact that heroin is typically injected intravenously by a user.

England said Spencer did the right thing by notifying police.

“If you think you find any kind of drugs, call us so we can correct it and to help us know what is turning up in our community,” England said.

England said Spencer provided police with the description of a suspect; however, establishing “chain of custody” to file a criminal charge would be difficult since no one apparently saw who dropped the bag.

“We’ll try to track down who it belonged to but that might be difficult,” he said.

England said that heroin has not shown up in the Wood River Valley in large quantities following a major drug bust about 12 years ago.

“We know it’s up here,” he said. “It’s not been heavily prevalent, but it’s sneaking its way back in.”

Possession of heroin in Idaho is a felony, punishable by up to seven years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000. Delivery or trafficking in heroin is punishable in Idaho by up to life in prison.

Spencer posted a photograph and a warning about finding the drug on Facebook on Friday.

“I am sharing only because we as a community need to know,” Spencer wrote. “This is terrifying. I am angry and very sad. This will not be tolerated at The Dollhouse consignment boutique. Please, please pass this forward and let the parents in our Valley know we are not safe.” tws

Invest In Our Food’s Future: Save Seeds!

I

BY Ali Long

n cahoots with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the industrialized food system continues to restrict farmers’ and gardeners’ rights to save seeds. Five large corporations control 75 percent of the world’s seed market. It’s more important than ever to take the future of our food into our own hands.

Saving seeds is beautifully simple and an empowering investment strategy. Seeds from most fruits and vegetables are removed before eating; seeds from leafy plants and vegetables are taken after the plant has gone to seed.

Fennel, dill, poppies, sunflowers, lettuce, and cilantro are self-pollinating, easy to grow, and produce hundreds of seeds.

Seeds that grow in husks or pods (like kale) are left to dry on the plant, and then picked off. These seeds should be harvested before winter precipitation sets in to prevent molding. Place them in paper bags (avoid plastic) for wintertime cleaning and processing.

Kale seeds take some planning to save because seeds don’t develop until the second year. After harvesting the first year, let kale overwinter in the ground. Forego some of the harvest the second year and allow it to “bolt” and produce seeds.

Tomatoes, tomatillos, ground cherries, melons and winter squashes have seeds embedded in their flesh. When ripe, separate the seeds from the flesh and rinse clean before enjoying the fruit. Allow the seeds to dry on a plate at room temperature for a few weeks, out of the direct sun.

Once completely dry, place seeds in paper envelopes and label with seed type, date and harvest location. Put envelopes in an airtight container and store in a cool, dry, dark space – refrigerator, garage cooler or pantry.

Food is a basic necessity and the cornerstone of our culture.

Control of the seed is key to control of our food supply. Help us to retain that lifeline – save seeds!

The Art of Marriage

Three Studio Tour Couples Talk Shop

BY P.M. FADDEN

“Art For All Ages,” an event where local artists open their doors to the community, returns to the Wood River Valley August 18–23.

Organized by the nonprofit “Wood River Valley Studio Tour,” the event, now in its third year, is intended to encourage artistic growth and increased tourism in the area by uniting art lovers with local art businesses.

“Two hundred and twenty working artists call the Wood River Valley home,” said Suzanne Hazlett, the tour’s co-founder and president. “Ninety-two of those artists have participated in the three Wood River Valley Studio Tours, including the upcoming tour.

“By opening the studio doors to our community, our regional neighbors and out-of-state visitors, as artists we make art accessible to anyone interested in venturing out on a self-guided adventure to see artwork up close, to meet the makers and to experience learning about art simply by being present in the environment where it is created,” said Hazlett. “We have accomplished all of this while maintaining an admission-free commitment to the community.”

The week-long schedule features 59 artists at Ketchum, Sun Valley, Hailey and Bellevue stu-

dio locations. Six of those artists happen to partner in both in life and art, as married couples.

“That we have these couple-artisans participating this year is really special,” said Hazlett. “I think it adds something to the tour.”

One of the couples is Hailey painters Jeannie Catchpole and Steve Behal, who share an artistic history stemming from their university days. The couple collaborates by painting jointly upon the same canvas. They call their work “provocative” and “hot.”

“Using whatever tools, materials and techniques necessary, I express my current state, which mostly requires experimentation, rule-breaking and discarding habits,” said Catchpole. “When I paint, I dance.”

“I try never to do the same thing twice,” said Behal.

Shifting to Ketchum, couple Marybeth Flower and Joe Bauwens fell in love with photography while collaboratively producing a coffee table book on Italy. The pair dabbles in abstract landscapes, portraits and realistic imagery on watercolor paper, metallic paper and canvas.

“Our photography is always evolving,” the couple agreed.

“We are each other’s best supporter and harshest critic. We help each other pick the best images from each shoot.

“Our work seems to go in phases. We usually shoot together and it is exciting to see that, although we are shooting in the same spot, our individual work is distinctive from each other.”

The third couple works in Bellevue at Mercury Studios, where Janet and Steven Houts create diverse art through their marital unity.

Janet focuses on quilts and graphic arts, while Steven works with mixed media on wood, paper and copper.

“I spend the early hours of the morning designing quilts for a couple of textile companies, featuring their new fabric lines,” said Janet. “As a graphic artist, I also prepare all of the sales brochures. Then I turn to my own scrap bag to cut and sew my own designs.”

“I like to choose fabrics first, and approach each design as a puzzle, finding shapes, then cutting and piecing them together,” she said.

“Art is fun,” said Steven. “The handmade paper and mixed media that I do now is a culmination of almost 70 years of seeing, learning and doing.”

“The main resource for my art is nature,” he said. “Art doesn’t start for me until late afternoon, sometimes going on until after midnight – current piece in progress, some future planning – it’s a pretty loose schedule.”

Bellevue’s Janet and Steven Houts are married artists who each focus on a different medium. Janet is an artisan of textiles, specializing in quilting. Steven forms his work on anything from wood to copper to paper materials.

Hazlett encourages the community to meet the three couples and see how they work together as part of this year’s tour.

“Our goals have always been lofty,” Hazlett said. “We aspire to gain national recognition for the artistic talent of our local artists. We endeavor to contribute to the ongoing and well-established efforts of the other arts organizations within our Valley to garner national recognition for the greater Sun Valley region as a world-class, art-centric community.”

Positive Trend For Ketchum Economy Indicators Show Early Summer Uptick

E

BY P.M. FADDEN

ditor’s note: This is the first installment in a four-part series exploring the economic status, stability and growth in the cities of Ketchum, Hailey, Sun Valley and Bellevue by asking, “How’s business?”

Local businesses and government entities involved in the tourist industry report that, midway through the summer, the overall economic growth rate in Ketchum is looking good.

“We’ve seen a definite revenue increase from the previous year,” said Mark Palmer, CEO of employee-owned Webb Garden Center. “Sales show a measured pattern of growth over more recent years, a stability which is of overall greater business benefit.”

Palmer said in an interview in July that the garden center has seen a 5 percent revenue increase compared to June of the previous year, a percentage he foresees to hold similarly true throughout the summer.

“Ketchum is on a positive growth climb since the lows of 2010,” he said. “Business has been slowly growing ever since.

Agility is a key to our business future. We should look to maximize efficiency and create a community flow of the entire Valley working together for mutual benefit.”

Scott Mason, owner of the Ketchum Grill, Enoteca and newly opened Town Square Tavern restaurants, cited airport growth as one bolstering factor to all area business.

“Business is booming,” Mason said of this June’s 15 percent sales increase over the same month in 2014. “That’s an atypical success for June, but one that is a great indication of the state of business.”

Mason said that June and July are typically months of growth opportunities, pointing out that the city’s busy summer events calendar contributes well to area economic health.

Another indicator of economic health is that June was a record-setting month for “room nights sold,” an indication of raised visitor numbers to the city.

“June 2015 was up by 29 percent over last June [in number of room nights sold] and came in as our strongest month of the year to date, surpassing our key winter months,” said Arlene Schieven, president of the Sun Valley Marketing Alliance, an organization funded by the cities of Ketchum and Sun Valley to promote tourism in the area.

“Year-to-date performance for room nights sold is now 20 percent above the same period last year.”

Mountain Rides Executive Director Jason Miller said rid-

ership is holding strong on the free bus service routes in the Ketchum-Sun Valley area. Ridership numbers for June of this year are up 9.3 percent compared to June of 2014.

“Ridership in 2015 has been tracking well,” Miller said. “We expect to see strong numbers in August, given the brightening economy.”

Adventure sports businesses are also experiencing improvement, said Chuck Smith, owner of Fly Sun Valley, noting that his paragliding operation is seen steady annual growth over the past several years.

“Business has been pretty

good, but we can always make it better,” Smith said. “June months tend to finish with comparable totals, but July is up 20 percent from 2014.”

The positive economic trend for Ketchum is expected to continue through the summer.

According to City of Ketchum financial records, August has historically eclipsed June revenue totals by more than 200 percent.

Smith said he is optimistic for the future of business in Ketchum.

Mark Palmer, CEO to employee-owned Webb Garden Center, is positive about what he terms a changing of the guard in younger generations taking a lead in continued development – growth he considers crucial to sustaining the economic health of the area.

“The envisioning of mutual marketing projections between businesses is one pathway to improvement,” Smith said. “The Marketing Alliance and local businesses working together will only help our collective futures.

“We’ve got a world-class caliber of location here,” Smith said.

“Let’s spread the word through inter-business cooperation and keep numbers growing.”

Wood River High School senior Shannon Robertson.

BY JONATHAN KANE

hannon Robertson, a Wood River High School senior with a 3.7 grade point average and a member of National Honor Society, likes to tell stories and has found an expression for her talent in drama.

When asked what her passion is in life, Robertson said, “Telling stories – whether it be in film, theater or television.”

Robertson grew up in Wisconsin in a suburb of Milwaukee and moved to the Wood River Valley in the middle of her freshman year.

“Wisconsin was pretty different. There were a lot more trees, it was a lot bigger and you didn’t have to drive an hour to get to a Walmart,” she said with a laugh.

“Milwaukee has about 600,000 people in it and my high school had 2,200 students. It was also a lot more competitive. For example, we took physical science in eighth grade instead of freshman year. I was the only freshman in biology here at Wood River.”

Already at Wood River High School, Robertson has taken Advanced Placement Language and Composition, Calculus, Economics and Physics.

Making the move

Where Robertson lived in Wisconsin was somewhat remote.

“We were near Lake Michigan and there was no nextdoor neighbor to hang out with and there weren’t as many kids around,” she said. “Unfortunately, I have a fear of water and I was surrounded by it – although it kept the weather temperate.”

In the middle of her freshman year, Robertson’s mother got a job as city administrator for the City of Sun Valley and the family moved to the Wood River Valley.

Robertson said the family visited the Valley prior to the move

and “I liked it here.”

“Also, I wasn’t too upset because I only had two close friends in Wisconsin. But at first it was a real culture shock because I’m not that much of an outdoorsperson.

“My first summer, I really fell in love with the north Valley because I like looking at the mountains, but I still miss being so far from stores. But I also have more freedom here and can walk to a friend’s house.

“At first I was relatively shy and I didn’t have friends for a while,” Robertson said. “Then I blurted out a reference and a girl knew what I was talking about and she became my first friend and she introduced me to all my friends in the theater.”

It’s in the theater that Robertson has found a home. She had acted in a sixth-grade production in Wisconsin before moving to the Wood River Valley.

“My friend Allison said come do this with me and it was fun,” she said. “Opening night I was really sick and I went on anyway and was really into it. I had no speaking part but it didn’t matter, and I had no problem performing.”

In her freshman year, Robertson gravitated to the technical side of the stage.

“I fell in love with putting sets together,” Robertson said. “I also worked with lights and I really liked the people and felt useful there.

“Then I came to Sun Valley and just fell in and entered the Performing Arts Academy. Then it was on to stage managing, which I still do to this day. Basically, I’m on book for the actors and record the stage blocking, and I’m in charge of the props.

It’s stressful, but I also love to run the light board.

“Theater can be very consuming,” Robertson said. “But it’s a true passion.” tws

irginia Levering Smith came to Sun Valley 25 years and “fell in love with the mountains and this community.” Hers is a fairly typically story, because she stayed.

Known as “Levie,” Smith is now a well-known entrepreneur, art lover and social activist, and is not shy about taking a leadership role.

In fact, leadership seems to come naturally to her; she was class president both her junior and senior year at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia.

After graduation, in 1986, with a B.A. in business and a minor in early childhood development, Smith went to work for LaSalle Partners in Washington, D.C., in their historical monuments renovation division. She was subsequently involved in the renovations of Union Station in Washington, D.C., and Grand Central Station in New York City, both iconic historical train stations and transportation hubs in America.

Today, Smith is the owner and founder of Silvercreek Realty Group and Silvercreek Art and Art Gallery on the corner of Sun Valley Road and Leadville Avenue in Ketchum.

It’s a long road from Grand Central Station to Leadville Avenue, but in 1990 Smith took a month’s vacation from her demanding job to relax by touring the West, which she had always wanted to visit. She got as far as Sun Valley where, she says, “I fell in love with the mountains and this community,” and has never left.

Her current résumé notes that she “moved to Sun Valley, Idaho, for a better quality of life.”

For a while, Smith was able to do her work for LaSalle from Idaho, but within a couple of years she

had turned her business, entrepreneurial and social focus on the Wood River Valley.

Smith worked in marketing and sales for Sun Valley Magazine, purchased and remodeled and sold residential and commercial properties in Ketchum, and was owner/operator of Cottage Flowers and Gifts in Ketchum and Bricks Café in Hailey. For the past 15 years she has been involved in real estate – most of it residential.

Smith said that when she opened Silvercreek two years ago, economic issues necessitated that she “think outside the box.” After all, not every realtor – in the Wood River Valley and elsewhere – would agree with Donald Trump, who said, “Well, real estate is always good, as far as I’m concerned.” Thus, Levie Smith’s Silvercreek Realty Group and Silvercreek Art and Art Gallery in the same space.

oing to college comes with around a thousand different emotions and anxious thoughts. But, working for The Advocates, my biggest concern is how can I make sure I, and other students, stay safe on campus? After some Googling and a lot of reading, I have made a list of my top three phone apps that are a must in college and in potentially violent situations.

3. OnWatch OnWatch is an app that is mostly for college students, and comes with six major features: calling your friends, calling 911, calling 911 and your friends, calling campus police, activating the “watch my back” feature (a set alarm that can only be deactivated with a password), and the “I’m here” setting. The “I’m here” text is useful to send your friends and family after you go on a run, to the store at night, or anytime you feel potential risk. It costs $4.99 a month.

and family in just a matter of taps. Once one triggers an alert, real-time location tracking is turned on, and users can see what family members or friends are the closest. The app also allows students to send out a loud alarm to deter potential attackers and draw attention to themselves from bystanders. This app costs $1.99 a month or $19.99 for a year, and I would recommend this to college students and victims of domestic violence.

Blaine County Noxious Weeds

Houndstongue

One Weed You Don’t Want To Lick

BY THE BLAINE COUNTY WEED DEPARTMENT

W

hen one ventures afield this time of year, it can be a sticky situation.

Many of the plants and weeds now have residues, stickers or burrs that stowaway with us. The emperor of all field-born burrs is houndstongue. Mother Nature endowed even noxious weeds

with the ability to propagate under even the most trying circumstances. Houndstongue accomplishes the dispersion of its devil spawn by producing seeds that are encased in prickly burrs.

These burrs will readily adhere to fur, hair and wool. It’s even rumored that houndstongue burrs were the inspiration for Velcro.

To better understand this noxious weed, it’s important to

understand its characteristics.

Houndstongue is a biennial, or short-lived perennial. The first year, the plant develops a rosette with hairy, linear leaves that range from 10-30 cm in length. Plants typically grow 35-140 cm tall the second year.

The reddish-purple, five-lobed flowers bloom June to August.

Each plant produces an average 500 seeds, which are composed of prickly nutlets, each 1 cm in length. Houndstongue’s ability to spread has caused serious problems on rangeland pastures where the plant colonizes disturbed sites and heavily grazed areas in riparian zones. Hound-

stongue contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, making it poisonous to livestock and horses.

Fortunately, there are solutions to combat this sinister weed. One solution’s name is Mogulones Borraginis (MUBO). MUBO is a seed-head-eating weevil species that feeds only on houndstongue.

MUBO can’t do it alone, though.

Blaine County doesn’t have nearly as much houndstongue as some other areas in Idaho. With your help, we can keep it this way. When you are hiking or horseback riding through Idaho’s beautiful country, thoroughly inspect your clothing, shoes, shoelaces, equipment and animals for

this burr. If you locate it, remove and destroy the burrs to prevent spreading it to other places. Idaho’s native wildlife will thank you.

If you encounter a new infestation of this noxious weed, don’t hesitate to call Bronwyn Nickel with the Blaine County Weed Department at 208-788-5516.

veryone’s invited, so settle in. Let’s get to know more of our community friends.

Wishes and Creations thrift store in Bellevue is on a mission to see that no one is left in need.

The nonprofit startup, run by Joseph (Joe Bump) Wilson and Maida Wirsching, offers a store at the corner of Main and Poplar full of discounted items, the sales of which go directly in support of causes in need of charitable giving.

“We’re all about giving to the ones that need it the most,” said Wilson. “Whether it’s monetary support or direct donation from the store’s stock, we’re always down to help anybody in need.”

Silver Creek High School receives store support, and Wishes is also dedicated to positive reinforcement of community social works programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous.

“We’re open and always looking for any avenue that we can give throughout the community,” said Wilson.

Wilson and Wirsching also create handcrafted home furnishing options such as dressers and specialty birdhouses, all of which are bargain priced at the store.

The pair’s passion for charitable giving flowed first from one small Twin Falls wishing well, proceeds from which went to help one little lady in need of medical care.

That conviction of heart soon grew into an endeavor that would sprout first Vintage Village of Twin Falls and, most recently, Wishes and Creations of Bellevue.

Wilson and Wirsching were invited to assume operation of what was originally Lucy’s Thrift Store, granting that locality its new moniker in commemoration of their roots in granting wishes.

Volunteer powered and open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week, the store stocks clothing for all seasons, home goods, books, sporting goods, school supplies, furnishings, electronics, accessory items and children’s items.

“And, to show our care for our community’s future, every child to visit the store receives a free toy and book each time they stop,” said Wirsching. “One way or another, everything in the store goes back to the community.”

“This town needed a great thrift store,” Wirsching said.

“We want to make a difference with the locals.”

“For us, local communities and a small-town feel are great for developing meaningful friendships,” said Wilson. “Through the re-use of secondhand items, the store has an impact on waste reduction, home economy and making our community a healthier place, overall.”

So there you have it, and now you know. That’s one more degree bringing us closer to home. +One is an introduction to individuals, organizations, businesses, and initiatives present in our community.

have special empathy for the victims of fire, so I can hardly watch the sad reports from California and other parts of the West concerning the latest number of vast brush fires afflicting our beautiful states. Of course, we view every day floods, tornadoes, mudslides, earthquakes, tsunamis and other frightening tragedies.

When my home burned in our modest neighborhood in the hills of Malibu so many years ago, among the comments people made to me, most sympathetic, one was disturbing. A fellow teacher asked me why people were so foolish as to live in the first place and then return to vulnerable landscapes.

Later, when the only way we could recoup some of our losses was to rebuild with a federal disaster loan on our same ashfilled, melted-appliances site, I had some understanding.

First, of course, we were young and could rebuild easier than the beloved comedian who lived farther back in my canyon for the rest of his life in a trailer provided after the destruction of his lovely home covered with bougainvillea and fronted by jacaranda trees, only now shadowed memories.

But secondly, even though this was our first home and even though we only lived in it for three weeks, this neighborhood already felt like ours. After the fire, we connected with many other victims and built a new community with a shared sense of gratitude for being alive, although I never again went through a fire season without a plan for piling my now new possessions in my car. The Santana winds struck horror every year following.

Another reason, but not ours, was the sense of roots that so many people experience; economically and emotionally, it is hard not to try to recreate a home where you have been perhaps for most of your life.

Finally, most houses are near disasters, whether one lives in a state with new predictions of earthquakes, the vibrant city of New Orleans, the flooded plains, or anywhere where Mother Nature possesses forces that can ruin lives. Even Idaho, as we know, has no guarantees.

Also, the more populated we get, the more we impinge upon areas not used to human inhabitants. This year we can add continuing droughts, a shift in weather patterns and, in spite of its naysayers, global warming. We seem helpless. I remember thinking, after my home was lost, that clever terrorists could destroy California by setting fires along the whole state.

In response to my angst for the thousands of people displaced by these devastating occurrences, I can only say that we need to be more careful than ever about our planet and, at the same time, love those people who, like I did, have learned that possessions can be replaced, that things are not a priority. I remembered that when I escaped from the flames with my two-year-old daughter in my VW and headed, along with running horses, away from my dream home. Fifteen minutes later it was gone, but we are still here. tws

ugust means two things to most south-central Idaho anglers: fishing at low-light periods and hopper fishing! With the desert winds blowing and hoppers fully grown, we are entering an eight-week period where the grasshopper becomes a mainstay in the trout’s diet.

Essential Dog Training

Some thoughts on fishing the grasshopper: * To kick or not to kick?

That is the question and it’s a good question. The answer is simple: some days yes and some days no. That is not much of an answer, but it does tell you one thing – it’s almost always either or. They all want the fly moving, or none of them do. Switch back and forth between techniques until you lock in on what they want that day. Personally, if I’m fishing buckets in the middle of the river, I move the fly so that it looks like a kicking grasshopper. If I’m fishing the bank, I try not to move the fly (if I don’t have to) so that it stays pinned on the bank. * The splat is where it’s at if you want to catch big fish on Silver Creek with a hopper. It is no secret that the biggest brown trout on the Creek live under the cut banks in the bright light of August. Making your fly go “splat” is telegraphing to the fish under the bank that it is there. They can’t see it land when they are tucked, but they are certainly listening.

You can always tell when this happens because the fish will come out from the bank at a perpendicular angle instead of rising parallel to the fly. The splat’s where it’s at! * Foam flies or fur and feathers? No clear answer on this, but without question the fish on the Big Wood love traditional Dave’s Hoppers and fish on Silver Creek and the South Fork of the Boise love to eat big foam flies! * Tippet size. Fish about to eat a grasshopper DO NOT care what your tippet size is. Fish heavy tippets to protect against fish teeth sawing through your line.

Fluorocarbon is also a great place to start. Fishing a 9-foot 2X leader is about all one needs. * Let them have it – then let them have it! This is the technique anglers want to use when fishing adult-sized hoppers. Simply let the fish eat the fly and take it under the surface before you let them have it with an aggressive hook set. Hoppers have large hooks that you want to bury with force!

Happy fishing, everyone!

Puppies are little sponges and can learn these essential behaviors at a very young age when introduced properly.

I

BY Fran JEWELL

t’s not just obedience. Essential dog training is teaching a dog the essentials of life and how to live in a family. Very few dogs I work with are professional dogs that live in kennels, only to come out to work. They are all integrated into the family and are treated like family members.

The very basics every dog should have, aside from sit, down, stay and come, include teaching puppies to accept “restraint.”

Restraint is being held firmly or being able to be comfortable

in a crate or kennel. Why? If a dog is afraid or unwilling to allow someone to restrain them, they end up having very unhappy visits to the vet, or you have a nightmare trying to clip toenails, clean ears, deliver some forms of medication. A dog that is afraid or unwilling to be restrained in a crate or kennel will have a terribly hard emotional time if they are sick or injured and have to be confined during the healing process or at the vet’s for diagnosis or after surgery. Restraint is a life skill that, if taught early, is the key to so much less stress in a

dog’s life and yours.

The second incredibly important essential is “yielding.”

Yielding is exactly as it sounds.

Another term for it could be described as “deferring.” A dog needs to learn to yield to you physically as well as emotionally. Examples would be a dog moving out of your pathway or getting up to move if you want to sit where they are sleeping on the sofa. Waiting for permission to eat or allowing you to take food away is very important. Yielding includes not running between your legs, not jumping on you

(respecting your personal space), waiting nicely for permission to go through a door or get out of the car. Yielding can save a dog’s life and can also save your own life. A dog that won’t move out of your way while it is sleeping in a dark hallway could cause you to fall and severely injure both you and the dog. Yielding is a form of respect, just like you and I have for other people and their personal space.

The hard thing about restraint or yielding is that we don’t usually “teach” it to puppies until there is a problem. Some puppies will, by nature, allow restraint and understand yielding. You can even test and select a puppy to see if they naturally understand these important skills. And, a good breeder can teach many of these things to puppies before they go to their new homes. But, many more puppies are not naturals. If you wait until you see the problem, it is difficult to go back and undo the problem behaviors the puppy has now made habit. If these things are taught to puppies early in their life, they remember them forever and they are so much happier and you will enjoy them even more.

Look beyond basic obedience to have an anxiety-free, safe, and respectful relationship that lasts a lifetime! There is more to dog happiness than “sit” and “down.”

n the summer of “Ted 2”, it’s not hard to ask, ‘Can a fella get a laugh out there?’ Let’s face it – a real-live funny comedy is hard to find in Hollywood.

But there is salvation in the form of Amy Schumer’s riotous new film, “Trainwreck”. Laugh-outloud funny is what you’d expect in the pairing of Schumer and director Judd Apatow in this gender-bender romp that redefines the rom/com genre.

Schumer is the white-hot comic that is ripping it up with her Comedy Central show, “Inside

Amy Schumer”, and she has penned a great script to make her movie debut. She also has some great acting support, with a tremendous Bill Hader as her romantic interest, a surprisingly good Lebron James as Hader’s best friend, and an unrecognizable Tilda Swinton as the editor of the ridiculous men’s magazine called S’Nuff where Amy works.

When we first meet Amy as a child, her father, Colin Quinn, is lecturing her and her sister about the unreasonableness of a life of monogamy. Fast forward 20 years and Amy is a bed-hopping free spirit scared of attachment.

El Carpincho (The Capybara)

By Ana Maria Cuneo

W

In English

hen I was a child my mother used to take me to a park where gentle wild animals were allowed to roam free. My favorite was the capybara, the largest rodent in the world. Even though a few are exhibited in zoos, in the United States these animals are practically unknown.

The capybara is found in all South American countries except Chile. A relative of the guinea pig and the chinchilla, in the wild the capybara lives in the savannas and humid jungles, usually near rivers or lakes.

Although it has short legs, this rodent can run very fast and is an excellent swimmer. The capybara can measure up to 4 feet in length and weigh as much as 200 pounds. It is usually found in groups of 20 to 80 animals. The female gives birth to two to seven babies.

An herbivorous animal, the capybara grazes on soft grass and aquatic plants, but during the dry season its diet expands to include other plants, seeds, roots and fruits. They offer no threat to humans but some ranches exterminate them when they compete for food with their livestock. In some areas, capybaras have been hunted to almost extinction, while in others, they are farmed for their pelt and their oil, which is used for pharmaceutical purposes.

All kinds of items are made with the capybara’s pelt, such as

photo

handbags, gloves, jackets, belts, wallets, etc. The leather is easy to recognize because it is dotted with lighter dots, evidence of where hair follicles once were.

When people admire my capybara purse, I invite them to touch it. But when they find out that they are patting a cousin of the rat, it is amusing to see how quickly they take a step back.

Worth a trip: The Boise Zoo has three new 1-year-old capybaras in its South America exhibit.

En Español Cuando era niña mi madre solía llevarme a un parque donde permitían que ciertos animales salvajes mansos ambularan en libertad. Mi preferido era el carpincho, el roedor más grande del mundo. Aunque hay algunos en exhibición en zoológicos, en los Estados Unidos estos animales son prácticamente desconocidos.

El carpincho se encuentra en todos los países suramericanos, excepto en Chile. Pariente del conejillo de las Indias y de la chinchilla, en la naturaleza vive en las sabanas y en las selvas húmedas, generalmente cerca de ríos o lagos.

A pesar de que tiene patas cortas, este roedor puede correr muy rápido y es un nadador excelente.

El carpincho puede alcanzar un tamaño grande, midiendo más de un metro de largo y pesando un centenar de kilogramos. Por lo general se lo encuentra en rebaños de 20 a 80 animales. La hembra da a luz de 2 a 7 crías.

A carpincho, aka capybara.

Un animal herbívoro, el carpincho se alimenta de pasto tierno y aguas acuáticas, pero durante la temporada de sequía su dieta se expande para incluir otras plantas, semillas, raíces y frutas. No ofrecen ninguna amenaza para los seres humanos pero algunos ganaderos los exterminan cuando compiten por alimentos con su ganado. En algunas regiones han sido cazados casi hasta el borde de la extinción, mientras que en otras se los cría por su piel y por su aceite, que sirve para fines farmacéuticos.

Todo tipo de artículos se hacen con piel de carpincho, entre ellos bolsos, guantes, chaquetas, cinturones, billeteras, etc. El cuero es fácil de reconocer, porque está marcado con lunares más claros, evidencia de donde estaban los folículos del pelo.

Cuando la gente admira mi bolso de carpincho, los invito a tocarlo. Pero cuando se enteran de que están acariciando a un primo de la rata, es divertido ver como rápidamente dan un paso atrás.

Vale la pena un viaje: El Zoológico de Boise tiene en su exhibición de animales suramericanos 3 carpinchos nuevos de 1 año de edad.

Leslie Rego, “Slim Larkspur Against a Charred Tree,” nib pen and sumi ink, watercolor.

P

BY LESLIE REGO

urples are in great display in the many surrounding meadows and forests throughout the Valley.

Fleabane, Rocky Mountain aster, fireweed, penstemon and slim larkspur are all blooming in an array of different shades of purple. Last week I wrote about the mountain hollyhock against the dramatic backdrop of charred bark. Slim larkspur (Delphinium depauperatum) makes for an equally impressive contrast between the deep purple/blue of the flower and the grays and blacks of the bark.

As beautiful as larkspur is, it can be very poisonous to cattle and elk. Early in the season the plant is more toxic, when the leaves are just forming. After blooming, the plant loses some of its toxicity and so elk will graze on the leaves later in the season.

For some reason sheep seem to tolerate the plant quite well and so are used to help eradicate larkspur in areas where cattle graze.

Putting aside the toxicity of the plant, I just love larkspur for its deep purple color. I have always

loved the color purple. When I traveled to Guatemala, in my early twenties on a shoestring budget, I scrimped and saved to buy a beautiful old hand-woven textile made from natural purple dyes extracted from the mollusk. The Mayan Indians had to travel hundreds of miles to the coast to collect the dye. Natural purples were achieved through extracting a bit of juice from a gland of the mollusk. Each mollusk had only a tiny bit of color and so it would take thousands of shells to make the smallest batch of dye. This is why the color purple has always been associated with royalty or popes.

Much easier is to enjoy the abundance of purples that we have blooming right now in the local meadows and forests.

There are so many different tints and shades available to the eye. We do not need to travel to the coast, collect mollusks, extract the dye and create multiple dye baths to enjoy the beautiful color!

T

his Thursday, Aug. 13, the nexStage Theatre kicks off its newest season of free play readings with “Becky Shaw” by Gina Gionfriddo. The reading features locals Freddie Harris, Sara Gorby, Hollie Hatch, Mackenzie Harbaugh and Jamie Wygle and will be directed by Jon Kane. Commencing at 6:30 p.m. with complementary wine and cookies, the reading’s running time will be approximately 100 minutes.

Many theatre critics and thespians, including cast member Harris, consider Gionfriddo one of the greatest contemporary feminist playwrights of modern day.

“She takes all our neuroses and our psychological fears and she makes them funny,” Harris explained. “In doing that, she forces us to look at them, conceptualize them and laugh at them. That’s why I love her.”

Gionfriddo’s 2012 play, “Rapture, Blister, Burn,” was presented at the nexStage Theatre in last year’s play reading series.

“We loved it, so we were looking for something else to do by her,” Kane said. “This play is

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

a funny comedy, and we have found over the years that our audiences really love comedies, so we think we’ll have a lot of fun and so will the audience.”

Thursday’s play, “Becky Shaw,” is a cynical comedy set in 2009 that explores the costly effects of a bad blind date, set up by two newlyweds. Relationships, family and love are dissected in this devastatingly funny black comedy. The playwright is known for her compelling characters and tight, witty dialogue throughout her canon.

“Becky Shaw” is no different.

“The perfect nourishment for theatergoers starved for a dramatic conflagration or two…

Gionfriddo’s creations talk with rat-tat-tat ferocity… the laughs flow freely,” touts The Associated Press.

“Gina Gionfriddo’s comedy of bad manners – a tangled tale of love, sex and ethics among a quartet of men and women in their thirties – is as engrossing as it is ferociously funny, like a big box of fireworks fizzing and crackling across the stage from its first moments to its last,” states The New York Times.

The nexStage’s play reading series was devised with the pur-

AUGUST 12, 2015

pose of exploring excellence in writing, Kane articulated.

“A reading is also part of the process of a play, and audiences feel that they are being let in and seeing something that they wouldn’t otherwise be seeing,” he said.

“It’s a great way to introduce audiences to newer plays and lesser known plays without having to mount a full production,” Harris added. “If an audience responds well to it, it might be a play that we decide to do.”

Kane and Harris have both found that the nexStage play readings are amazingly compelling, considering that actors are seated for the duration of the play.

“It’s still live and something magical happens in live theatre between the performers and the audience that can’t be duplicated anywhere else,” Kane said.

Join the nexStage Theatre for this hysterical play reading on Thursday, Aug. 13, at 6:30 p.m.

The nexStage is located at 120 South Main Street in Ketchum.

7PM / River Run Lodge / Ketchum Sun Valley Center for the Arts concludes their Summer Concert Series with a highly anticipated performance by Wilco. The Grammy Award-winning band will play with special guest Vetiver at River Run Lodge. Experimental folk and art rock band Wilco, with lead singer Jeff Tweedy at the helm, draws influence from alternative country, The Beatles, Beach Boys harmonies, classic pop and more.

Known for their adventurous spirit and ever-changing sound, Wilco has won two Grammy Awards, made multiple television appearances and are wildly popular on tour.

Photo by Danny Clinch “Vetiver isn’t known for being a flashy or rockin’ band – what they are loved for is their subtlety, their songwriting and their hypnotic music,” said Kristine Bretall, director of performing arts at the Sun Valley Center.

Regular entry tickets for Wilco are $50 for Center members and $60 for nonmembers. Early entry tickets, which allow entry 15 minutes prior to general admission, are available at $90 for members and for $100 nonmembers.

An upcoming performance by pianist Garrick Ohlsson will bring two firsts for the Sun Valley Summer Symphony – the first appearance by Ohlsson and the first performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in the Valley. Ohlsson was the first American to win first prize in the International Fredric Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw.

The Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 has legendary status as possibly the most difficult piano concerto in the standard classical repertoire, according to SVSS Music Director Alasdair Neale. There is almost no pause for the pianist during the 40-minute concerto, and the pianist for whom Rachmaninoff originally wrote it refused to play it. Additional information about this exciting free-admission event is available online at svsummersymphony.org.

9:30PM / Silver Dollar Saloon / Bellevue There’s live music every Friday night at the Silver Dollar Saloon! This week, George DeVore takes the stage. Based out of Austin, Texas, DeVore is making a mark with a worldly voice, honest songs and a stage presence that caused Playboy to name him a “Pop Powerhouse.” Soon after arriving in Austin in 1996, with only a guitar and two phone numbers, DeVore took the “Best Tape” award in the Austin Music Awards. Since then, he’s been recognized in its top five categories, including rock, pop and male vocalist.
