no known cure. “In people with IBD, the immune system mistakes food, bacteria, and other materials in the intestine for foreign or invading substances,” states the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America. “When this happens, the body sends white blood cells into the lining of

the intestines, where they produce chronic inflammation and ulcerations.” This causes chronic pain and embarrassing symptoms for sufferers, making the disease difficult to talk about. It is referred to as an “invisible” illness, because often times no one can tell a person carries the disease by

just looking at him or her. For Sfingi’s senior project, which she tackled a year early, she created a blog to connect members of the IBD family in the community. Her project is titled “The Stars We Cannot See” and is currently on the Internet and displayed in gallery form at Zions Bank in

Ketchum. “[The title] symbolizes the invisible aspect of the diseases,” Sfingi explained. “When we look at the sky, we see stars, but not all of them…we may not see everything about someone at first glance.” “The Stars We Cannot Continued on page 11

Nature And Adventure Writing Workshop

Take the plunge into Nature and Adventure Writing while running the Middle Fork of the Salmon River with award-winning author Nicholas O’Connell of The Writer’s Workshop and Solitude River Trips (2006 Orvis “Expedition of the Year”) for this spectacular journey down one of the wildest and most scenic stretches of whitewater anywhere. On this first annual trip, you’ll learn how to run whitewater and transform the circumstances of your trip – rugged mountain scenery, heart-pumping rapids and the camaraderie of an expedition – into a compelling narrative that you’ll write and send out for publication after the trip. Nature and Adventure Writing is one of the most appealing genres of nonfiction, calling on all of an author’s skills – dramatic scenes, character sketches, concrete detail, point of view, scene by scene construction – to compose riveting adventure travel narratives that help reconnect readers with the natural world. This six-day intensive class (Aug. 1-7) will introduce you to essential techniques of Nature and Adventure Writing and give you expert, insider advice about how to publish these stories. A rafting vacation on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River is one of the great outdoor adventures, and is one of the only remaining truly Western experiences left in the world. The Middle Fork carves its way through one of the largest wilderness areas in the United States – the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness – in the heart of central Idaho. Whitewater rafters running the Middle Fork may hear the howl of wolves while settling into their comfortable tents; they will certainly thrill to the majestic cliffs that hem the river canyon. The cost will be $2,095/person + $85 USFS fee/person, for a total of $2,180 for the rafting trip and $400 for the writing instruction. To enroll, please send a nonrefundable deposit of $750 to Solitude River Trips (PO Box 6614, Ketchum, ID 83340, 208-806-1218, www.rivertrips.com) and $400 for the writing class to Nicholas O’Connell (201 Newell St., Seattle, WA 98109, 206-284-7121, www.thewritersworkshop.net). The trip will likely fill quickly, so enroll early to get a spot.

KECH Radio shows its power BY MARIA PREKEGES

ustaining a local business in the Wood River Valley can be challenging. Some come and go, but many do weather the test of time. KECH Radio has maintained its presence over the years and, since 1988, has strived to serve the community. The radio station was launched in 1988 to serve the Wood River Valley with local information and entertainment. The station was originally assigned the KWRU call sign by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on February 16, 1988, and was to be a not-for-profit community radio station. Soon after, on October 5, 1988, the station changed its call sign to the current KECH. The call letters were chosen as a result of a contest where listeners were asked to pick the call sign for the station. One listener chose KECH, short for Ketchum, and the company applied for the call sign change. KECH 95.3 FM continues to be a leader in the Wood River Valley with local personalities and its service to community affairs. It takes listeners to keep KECH up and running, and the format plays a key role in that. In early 2014, KECH evolved into a classic rock format that spans decades,” stated Doug Donoho, program director for KECH. “You will hear classics from The Beatles and Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Van Halen, Bon Jovi and Black Sabbath, to name a few. “We have live DJs in the morning and afternoon who know and love this music,” Donoho continued. “This is a fan favorite in the Valley that appeals to a broad demographic. We get the Millennials, Gen Xers and the baby boomers. According

to www.idaho-demographics.com, the median age for Blaine County residents is 42.2 years young. This is an older market that lives and thinks young! With our format spanning decades, the music has strong appeal for multigenerational listeners.” The station covers the Wood River Valley and reaches into some of the Magic Valley area as well. “We get a lot of listeners checking in from Jerome, Filer, Shoshone and the surrounding area,” Donoho said. “And now that we stream online, we get listeners checking in from all over the place.” Being a local radio station is important. “People still want to know what is going on in their local community,” Donoho said. “Pandora and satellite radio have their place, but they won’t tell you about fires, evacuations, breaking news or other local event information. We can do things like the Lost & Found Report, local birthdays and talk about new movies opening in our local theaters, local concerts and plays.” Donoho also explained the importance of community involvement for a local business, especially a radio station. “What we do on air is a reflection of what is happening in the Valley,” Donoho said. “If you are excited about upcoming shows, events and festivals, we are too. We share the information on air and via social media. We partner with local nonprofits to help promote fundraisers and other activities. We are a voice for many.” Richard Mecham and Rich Broadcasting own KECH, with their home office in Idaho Falls. Rich Broadcasting also owns sister stations here locally: KSKI 94.5 FM and KYZK.

Coalition Crusades To Protect & Restore BY P.M. FADDEN

Quote of the week

“Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results.” – Herman Melville 6

he Wood River Valley’s 5B Restoration Coalition (5BRC) shields and rejuvenates Idaho’s wildlands and native ecosystem in the wake of natural disasters such as fire and flood. Active in trails and recreation committee formation, 5BRC works alongside public/private landowners as well as coordinates local, state and federal groups to resuscitate damaged Idaho environs. “The 5B Restoration Coalition is a young, collaborative group that met together for the first time in September of 2014,” explained Karen Dibari, director with Conservation Connect and the Nation Forest Foundation. “The intention of starting this coalition was to bring together various community-based organizations with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in order to not only help our residents realize the true impact of our fires and subsequent flooding, but to rally the community around ways they might be involved in helping restore our forests and the miles of trails,” said Lynn Campion-Waddell, 5BRC co-founder. Spurred by the past Beaver Creek Fire, 5BRC dedicates its efforts to sustained environmental support and readiness. “Even though it seems like the Beaver Creek Fire was a long time ago, there are still a lot of post-fire restoration needs,” Dibari said. “Addressing these will be a long-term effort.” 5BRC acknowledges the recognition Idaho lands garner from visitors, local to international. The coalition feels a watchful eye is required for the preservation of Idaho’s geographical resources. “The community, as well as 5BRC, recognizes the unbelievable need for vigilance and sustained efforts at protecting our lands,” said Angenie McCleary, Blaine County commissioner. 5BRC summer/autumn action sees affiliation with the USFS in addressing issues in Deer Creek, BLM reconstruction in Croy Canyon and ongoing restoration efforts of inter-linkages between trail systems. “This summer, the Deer Creek drainage is the priority because of its instability,” stated Campion-Waddell. “The Ketchum Ranger District and Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation are coordinating to rebuild a bridge, make a trailhead and build a new trail.” “5BRC is spearheading efforts to pool funds for on-the-ground work in Deer Creek and other areas in the Wood River Valley,” Dibari said. “The funds will be distributed to local nonprofits or contractors, depending

on the type of work.” USFS representative Zachary Poff expressed optimism regarding 5BRC effectiveness. “5BRC is an outstanding effort in the face of post-fire challenges to forest health and the watershed,” Poff said. “The health of the environment is a huge issue and 5BRC’s education of younger generations on that importance is vital.” 5BRC builds upon past efforts through continued education in wildfire/flood response and land stewardship. “5BRC’s goal is to support the resiliency of the natural landscapes surrounding Wood River Valley communities so that public lands can benefit from the ecological positives of a fire and negative impacts are reduced,” Dibari said. “There are many plans ahead for restoration and sustainability,” Campion-Waddell added. “Now that organizations and agencies are sharing information and working together, we as a community can be of help.” “Great opportunities arise from great need,” McCleary said. “We’re lucky to have such a talented community that responds.”

We Jammin’ Hemingway Elementary fifth-graders are taking on a new challenge and adventure in music class, the soprano ukulele. Photo courtesy of Barbara Feehan

Ukulele fever at Hemingway Elementary BY YANNA LANTZ

arbara Feehan, a music specialist at Hemingway Elementary, is finding a new way to make music accessible to her students. In January, she used money from the district (designated for the music program) to order 25 soprano ukuleles and method books for her fifth-graders and the school. “Several years ago someone forwarded me this amazing YouTube clip, and it is still one that I watch every once in a while – more than I have any other video on YouTube,” Feehan said. The video is of musician Jake Shimabukuro playing a complex and beautiful rendition of The Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” on the ukulele. “Almost a year ago, Jake Shimabukuro played a concert in Hailey,” Feehan explained. “At the concert that evening, Jake said that he had spent time that afternoon at then-Woodside Elementary with a group of kids at that school who had been playing ukuleles. That planted a seed in my mind and, six months later, I bought my own concert ukulele.” The fifth-graders at Hemingway started their new ukulele method books as soon as they came in, incorporating what they’d learned previously in music class into a new form. They began by picking some popular melody lines and progressed onto three chords: D major, G major and E minor. Familiar tunes, such as “Best Day Of My Life” by American Authors, became goal songs for the students. Naturally, learning something new comes with challenges. “The kids would look at a line or chord before even trying to play it and immediately announce that ‘it was hard,’” Feehan laughed. “The ‘h’ word has been banned from my classroom – if something is challenging to play, it just means that you have to keep playing and playing and working until you can play it – and with that comes learning to persevere and a true sense of accomplishment that comes when you can finally play

something.” Feehan added that her students are quick to correct her when she slips up on the “h” word. Many of the kids have taken to the new instrument and several have asked their parents to get them a ukulele so they can practice at home. “I like learning different chords and playing ‘Best Day Of My Life,’” said fifth-grader Quincy McGraw, smiling. “It takes a while to get the first chord, but it’s so fun. I got a ukulele for my birthday!” “Ukulele is one of my favorite instruments,” said fifth-grader Paola Alvarado. A few weeks ago, Feehan’s fourth-graders also switched to the ukulele. They’ve tackled the C major and F major chords and were introduced to basic strumming patterns. “Next year, they’ll continue to play more picking and more chords and more strumming patterns, using what we’ve learned in a new way,” explained the music teacher. Additionally, several of Feehan’s co-workers have attended after-school sessions to take up the instrument and join in on the fun. “About 10 staff members off and on have taken me up on this,” Feehan said. “With emails I also include a cool uke video or two and a tutorial for a song I think they’d like.” Hemingway’s Spring Music Program will take place this Friday, May 15, featuring a piece by their newly formed uke band. “A few kids auditioned to get in the ukulele band to play for the Spring Program, which is this Friday,” Alvarado said. “I was one of them!” Hemingway Elementary is located at 111 8th St. W., Ketchum. Call 208-578-5050 for more information about their Spring Program.

“Opening day for me is better than Christmas,” said John Huber, guide and outfitter for Picabo Angler. “I get all wound up.” Fishing season opens Saturday, May 23. Huber said he doesn’t even fish on opening day – he’s busy running around and enjoying everybody else’s excitement. Huber’s giddy feeling comes from sharing a stretch of water just south of town internationally famous for its fishing. “Silver Creek always is kind of an enigma,” Huber said. “You never know what your day is gonna be like.” Huber said the creek is unique in its cold, slow-moving water that gives fish the advantage. “The fish get extra time to take a look at the fly,” Huber said. “That challenge is what people seek.” Huber said he calls the creek “graduate school.” “When you first start, you want to catch a fish, then you want to catch a lot of fish, then you want to catch big fish until finally, after that, it becomes about the experience – how you are catching the fish,” Huber explained. And that challenge commonly brings in anglers from Japan and Italy. “You can go on the Conservancy and you can hear several different languages spoken,” Huber said. The Preserve is a high-desert cold spring pushed out of the aquifer created by the Big Wood River. Huber said it is a special transition area between the mountains and the desert. “You are in this nutrient-rich area because the snowmelt is bringing all the nutrients down from the mountains and into the valleys,” Huber said. “Because of the nutrients in the river, you get bug life, and because of bugs, you get big fish.” Silver Creek Preserve is home to 160 different species of birds and four species of game fish. With 251 acres in the Preserve, The Nature Conservancy has extended its reach to 12,600 acres through conservation easements. “There’s been a lot of people before me that have had the same kind of love affair with Silver Creek,” Huber said. “It’s a very surreal place.” Bud Purdy and Ernest Hemingway are among the most famous patrons. Hemingway invited his son Jack to Silver Creek, and eventually Jack came to be a commissioner with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. “Silver Creek was a very special place for Jack [Hemingway],” said Sunny Healey, manager of Silver Creek Preserve. “He was instrumental in getting community support for The Nature Conservancy to be able to manage the property. He was crucial to the

conservation of this area.” Because of the work done, the area has been well preserved. “Nothing has changed here in 100 years,” said Huber. And the legacy lives on for anglers from every opening day to the winter months. “It’s not considered a holiday on the calendar, but in the eyes of the angler, it’s very much a holiday,” said Huber. “I guess, technically, it is a holiday in that it’s Memorial Day, but…” The Visitor Center opens May 23 and will host a free BBQ open to the public from noon to 2 p.m. More information can be found at the Silver Creek Preserve Visitor Center and at fishandgame.idaho.gov. tws

Step two presents the client with a six- or 12-month choice of customized training. “RRPT training helps strengthen and improve balance, joint stability and build muscle mass,” the owner said. “The best part for the trainer is to see the positive impact clients – my fellow residents – experience as a result of training,” Conover continued. “Working with [the] public is rewarding. That’s why I wanted to return home with my business.” Selected regimes offer complete client flexibility. All classes are booked online, tailored to the client’s specific daily/weekly personal schedule. “Sessions are booked without worry of a rigid routine, at times and days that best suit the client’s own busy schedule,” Conover said. “I want to help as many people as possible achieve positive results.” “Resistance training is crucial for overall health, especially later in life,” explained Conover. “With that in mind, I wanted to bring high-end training techniques home at affordable prices. I want to invest in the health of my local community. I want my clients to elect to work with me because they trust that I, as a professional, can help them. RRPT also offers a referral program. For each new individual brought to RRPT, the referring client receives one month’s free training. “RRPT has already seen 50 people sign up in the first two months alone,” Conover said. “Ultimately, I would love to see RRPT grow into multiple locations. It doesn’t have to be just a Hailey training facility or specifically a Ketchum training facility, but a business for the health of the whole Valley.” tws

Windows based machines should have 2 forms of protection, including a standard anti-virus program coupled with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware. - Although Windows 8.1 includes some defense, I recommend AVG Cloudcare as your primary protection. AVG is able to stop and remove most infections on its own, including older more traditional malicious code. Available through Q&A Compute - Malwarebytes specializes in dealing with the newest emerging threats. (malwarebytes.org) Mac users are not safe without protection either. However Mac's don't need multiple malware tools just yet. - I recommend having some sort of anti-virus protection such as Sophos (sophos.com).

See” is an online blog that shares the stories and journeys of those that suffer from Crohn’s and Colitis. The blog’s homepage states, “In celebration of our invisible illnesses, here lies inspiration to love the stars, and scars, we cannot see. From the inside out. You are not alone.” “In such a small Valley, it can be easy to worry about opinions of others and feel isolated with diseases such as UC or Crohn’s,” Sfingi said. “It’s important to have this sense of community and connectivity. There are others, on a local level, that are going through the exact same thing.” The high schooler reached out to her family, friends, neighbors, teachers and IBD Facebook groups to find connections and people willing to share their stories on her blog. In addition to posts from Idaho, Sfingi received stories from residents of Newfoundland, Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida, England, California, Texas, and more. “I have learned that, overall, the vast majority of people with IBD have learned to adapt a pretty positive mindset,” Sfingi remarked. “I’ve also learned the intense strength of the IBD community as a whole. It is so admirable and inspiring to think that these people can have so much hope and strength to continue to another day when they are facing so many obstacles. It has been breathtaking to see those people contribute to my project and observe their willingness to share their journey.” Among the inspiring stories on the blog are a collection of photos by Sfingi, humorous tidbits and stunning artwork by her sister Caitie, who also suffers from UC.

“I chose to include her pieces to highlight yet another perspective of the disease from a fairly abstract and artistic perspective,” explained Sfingi. In the future, the blog will most likely be formatted to suit an open posting forum. Sfingi hopes more locals will find the site and join the conversation. “I’ve realized how incredible it is to fully embrace this disease,” Sfingi said. “In some twisted, beautiful way I love my disease; it’s made me the person I am today. I am stronger than I ever imagined and more capable of things, even totally unrelated to IBD. I am certain that I would be a different person today if I had not learned to love my Ulcerative Colitis. It’s something that makes me, me.” Find the blog for “The Stars We Cannot See” online at thestarswecannotsee.weebly.com or see the gallery, located in the lobby of Zions Bank in Ketchum through May 25.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR MAY 13 FROM PICABO ANGLER

There is one glaring question that we’ve been asked over and over already this season: When are the brown drakes going to hatch? This is not an awful question, although it is difficult to answer. All we can do is look at recent history and recent conditions and then make our best guess. Once we get right up on opening day, we can look at the nymph and make a guess based on how dark and swollen the wing cases are. Beyond that, all we can say is be ready this season, as recent history and conditions suggest the hatch will occur sometime before the end of this month. The key to that statement is, watch the weather. If things stay relatively nice and warm, you can all but count on May drakes. If the weather turns gloomy, cold, wet and windy, then expect the hatch to occur once these conditions settle. Of course, the best way to be sure you don’t miss the first big night of the hatch is to sit riverside every night after the opener. Hurry up and wait is the only surefire method one has to be sure you catch the first night. It is important to keep in mind that the hatch generally moves up the river from the Picabo Bridge, terminating at the Highway 20 Bridge approximately a week later. It is not uncommon the first few nights to only see the hatch low on the river. Anglers could sit at Point of Rocks or the Willows with zero bugs on the water while the lower Creek is going off. So, unless you know the hatch has been going for at least three days, you better start looking and waiting at the Picabo Bridge. Finally, a word on etiquette. The brown drake is a huge hatch and anglers come from all over to witness it and fish it. There is never a shortage of people, so don’t be surprised to see plenty of your fellow anglers. Keep in mind, though, that over the years this hatch has been one in which we brothers and sisters of the fly have made into a kind, peaceful and fun event. There is no place during the drake for boorish behavior and bad attitudes. Please keep in mind we are all on the Creek to enjoy the same thing. No fish is worth ruining your good time, or others’! Treat the drake hatch as a time to bond with friends and strangers alike! You’ll find the fun and camaraderie something worth cherishing.

Appreciation = Living Life To The Fullest

Slack Snacks On The Cheap

BY MARIA PREKEGES

here are mansions and there are mobile homes. There are the rich and there are the poor. There are those with boats and cars and those with bikes and boards. We see a diverse section of the world, especially right here in the Wood River Valley. If we have less, do we want more? If we have more, do we still want extra? How do we learn to appreciate and be happy with what we do have? It’s a tough one sometimes, especially when we are constantly comparing ourselves to those that seem to have it all. Webster’s definition of “appreciate” is: to understand the worth or importance of (something or someone); to admire and value (something or someone); to be grateful for (something). So how do we appreciate what we have and just be content? By realizing how truly lucky we are, no matter what. And if we are content, can that make us complacent? How do we have appreciation for our life the way it is, but then want more out of life without it looking like greed or gluttony? I think the more we remind ourselves of how lucky we are and appreciate what we have, the more positive we become. The more positive we are, we naturally want to improve ourselves in any way. We are happier and surround ourselves with others that are the same. In turn, striving to be better comes naturally. Whether it’s helping others or expanding on your career, you’ll do it in a positive manner and obtain your goals, and continue to appreciate all that comes your way. Money can’t buy happiness (although some may argue with me on that one), but appreciation and being thankful for what you have can keep you positive and keep you moving forward…which isn’t such a bad thing now, is it? tws

Slack time in the Wood River Valley can offer numerous treasures to those on the lookout for a good deal on a great meal. One of my favorite activities during our slow-paced spring and fall shoulder seasons (besides being able to park anywhere!) is hunting out the numerous slack specials offered by local restaurants. These slack snacks provide the perfect dining experience, for several reasons: • You don’t have to wait forever to be seated. • The restaurants aren’t overly packed, so you can enjoy the space. • You can fill your belly without completely emptying your wallet • You get to eat tasty food while helping out the local economy. • During spring slack, chefs begin incorporating the first fresh summer ingredients into their specials. Yum!

One of my favorite finds this year has been the slack menu at Cornerstone Bar & Grill in Ketchum. Last week, as I enjoyed a $12 steak ~ complete with spuds and veggies

(I highly recommend this dish!) ~ co-owner Eric Vorm told me his slack special prices this year are the lowest they’ve ever been. Selling the specials at such low prices draws in enough diners for the restaurant to break even during slack. Though the business doesn’t make money during the off season, for Vorm it’s worth keeping the doors open all year for a couple reasons. He likes to stay open so he can provide year-round employment for his staff and so locals have a place to go when dining options are limited (as many other restaurants in the area opt to close during the off season). Other great finds this year include the slack specials at Hailey’s A Taste of Thai and the special rolls at Sushi on Second in Ketchum. Happy hunting for your own slack specials, and, if you find something super tasty at an unbelievably low price, be sure to keep us hungry newsies here at The Weekly Sun in the know! Happy hunting, bon appétit, thanks for reading and have a great week. Brennan Rego Owner, Publisher, Janitor tws

ORNITHOLOGY

Pythagoras By Laurel Holland

rom our earliest days, we are taught to believe the world is round. Proof is presented – in history books, in science class, in pictures of our lovely blue planet captured from an orbiting satellite. It’s isn’t that our smaller selves don’t wonder: before us, a road stretches for what looks like forever. The ocean seems to meet the sky. But we trust in what we are told in the way we believe in God. For us, it is truth until it fails us. Until the day a man walks off the edge of the earth and tumbles into nothingness, the world, to his child, is round. tws

Idaho Documentary Wins Award

By SUN STAFF

daho Public Television’s Emmynominated “Outdoor Idaho: 50 Years of Wilderness” wins the Edward R. Murrow Award for News Documentary in the Northwest small-market television division. “Outdoor Idaho: 50 Years of Wilderness” features footage of the Sawtooths and other regions in the Stanley area including the Boulder-White Clouds. With the passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964, Americans began what has been called a grand experiment in land management that no other nation has attempted. This new special visits each of Idaho’s seven designated wilderness areas and two proposed areas, plus it examines changes and perspectives on the subject. “It’s probably the most complicated and time-consuming show we’ve ever attempted,” said Bruce Reichert, executive producer of local productions for Idaho Public Television. “We didn’t just step into each wilderness area in Idaho. In some cases, our crew spent more than a week travel-

hose of us for whom the Internet is a relatively new mechanism in the lifelong process of seeking knowledge and clarity of thought are grateful for the quantity of information and ease of access it provides. However, as the current state of the earth and all its life forms illustrate, it is imperative to beware of quantity and ease, lest they bury the more nutritious clarity of quality and effort under...flapdoodle flimflam, or worse. One of the Internet tools I use is Snopes.com. A few days ago, I had need of its services when one of those improbable, ugly accounts of what was called “political correctness” was sent to me by an old friend who had bought in to its odoriferous premise – involving Harry Truman and Douglas MacArthur – before checking its validity. I took a couple of minutes to check with snopes.com and confirm my suspicion that the story was a lie, and that my thinking need not be troubled or clouded by it. Snopes is named after the unpleasant family of that name in William Faulkner’s fiction. The site was started in 1995 by David and Barbara Mikkelson, a California couple whose intention “…is not merely to dismiss or confirm misconceptions and rumors, but to provide evidence for such debunkings and confirmation as well.” Where appropriate, pages are generally marked “undetermined” or “unverifiable” if the Mikkelsons feel there is not enough evidence to either support or disprove a given claim. The quantity of inDick Dorworth is a Blaine formation available on County resident, author the Internet and the and former world record effortlessness of acholder for speed on skis. cessing “data” is a luxVisit his website and blog ury of today’s world. at dickdorworth.com. Verifying the authenticity of that same data is a necessity of that same world, at least for those who are more interested in thinking with clarity than propping up propaganda, ideology, bias or the cover of a lie. The Snopes website has some 40 categories of rumors, misconceptions and deceptions, from autos to weddings, as well as “What’s New,” “Hot 25,” “Randomizer,” “Odd News” and “Top Scams.” The latter is headed by “Tough economic times are, unfortunately, boom times for scammers, as people desperate for money and jobs let down their guards and are more likely to pursue questionable financial opportunities that caution might ordinarily warn them away from. And as folks become more inured to monetary woes, their charitable inclinations are more easily exploited by scammers pretending to be persons in need of sympathetic helping hands.” Many people reading this have received an email from a friend or relative who they didn’t know was vacationing in a foreign country and in desperate need of immediate money, the Nigerian millionaire who will pay generously for helping transfer his mass of money out of his homeland into yours, or, a report of some unlikely, if embarrassing, demeaning or hypocritical, word or action by a famous person. Snopes.com can help you differentiate between fraud and truth on the Internet and elsewhere. It is a useful tool for those who value clarity of thought. tws 15

Need to Know: The Short List

Autumn Fluetsch

10 Points Of Discussion To Inform Your Dinnertime Convo

Love and Happiness BY JONATHAN KANE

utumn Fluetsch, a junior at Community School, places special emphasis on happiness in the world. “As simple as it sounds, I just want to be happy and hopefully be able to spread happiness,” Fluetsch said. She went so far as to use happiness as the subject of her thesis. “It was 20 pages and it was all about happiness in the modern world,” Fluetsch explained. “Basically, I looked at what it means to be happy and the effect it has around the world. What I learned is that it’ s up to the individual. We are all subject to different circumstances – like status and how we grew up – but happiness is really about how you live your day-to-day life. “There are also a lot of ways to boost your happiness,” Fluetsch continued. “People tend to focus a lot on intrinsic factors – like how much money you have – but being happy is about having good relationships and being part of something bigger and knowing that you are making a difference. One way to be happy is to practice mindfulness and taking the time to reflect on being grateful and to appreciate what you have.” That is one of the centerpieces that Fluetsch learned and developed as part of Compassionate Young Leaders and the tools that she will be taking to India, when the group goes on a humanitarian mission this summer. “I heard about it and wanted to join,” Fluetsch said. “We meet once a week to discuss things that we don’t discuss in school. They are intellectual, real-life discussions drawn to philosophy and an examination of your thoughts and being mindful. It just really appealed to me. It’s based on the practice of putting your attention and thought into the present and to rid the mind of distractions fully, which is present moment awareness. “We do this with meditation and breathing practice, which sometimes can last up to half an hour at our meet-

ings, which are held once a week,” Fluetsch explained. “I also find myself practicing on my own, because high school can be stressful with classes and college applications and it is a great way to escape and calm down. Personally, I’m prone to suppressing stressful emotions and now I know that it is really helpful to notice and accept them. I have also learned to apply the practice to other parts of my life like relationships. I’m more accepting of myself and I notice the importance of emotional wellbeing.” On June 26, eight students from Community School will travel to Ladak, India, for three and a half weeks, where they will stay and work at an orphanage/ school/elderly home. There, they will work with children and assist in the building of a greenhouse. “I can’t tell you how excited I am to be going,” Fluetsch said. “I’ve spoken with others that have gone and they all say it’s a life-changing experience. These kids have next to nothing and they are so happy and love life. The people that have come back are so much more grateful of what they have and so much more at peace with themselves. I know it will be an unforgettable experience.” tws

The Power of Young Voices To Show Us What Is Right The incredible young people who spoke at the May 4 Hailey City Council meeting reminded us what matters: doing what is right, in this case helping those who need protection, whether people or animals. As adults, the right moral answer is often clouded by financial considerations: is there an economic benefit to consider? In this case, the right moral answer is also the right economic answer: to deny the Jordan World Circus a permit to hold their event in Hailey. The Jordan World Circus has applied to bring their circus – including elephants and tigers – to Hailey this June. We now know that these wild animals in captivity face a life of suffering and trauma, even when held in conditions in compliance with the law. The largest circus company, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey, voluntarily announced they are phasing out use of elephants by 2018 noting that times have changed (and having faced multiple citations for violations of the welfare of animals in their care). Jordan World Circus has no such plans to phase out elephants and they have been cited so often for violation of animal welfare laws that they may no longer own their own animals, but have to lease them. Under Hailey ordinance, an event must benefit the general welfare and protect public safety. The elephants in this circus are routinely abused with use of electric shocks

and bull-hooks. Attendees at last year’s circus saw the handlers using these brutal tools on these wild animals. This is not supportive of the general welfare. The elephants in this circus have previously gotten out of control threatening human lives, risking costly lawsuits. This is not protective of public safety or the general welfare. Globally, 31 countries (including India and Mexico) and over two-dozen cities in the U.S. have made it so circuses with wild animals including elephants and tigers are prohibited. This is a dying industry: do we want our community to be a place where this practice is still allowed to happen? The moral answer is to deny this permit because these animals need our protection. It can be argued that the event does not meet Hailey’s requirements for safety and welfare. So what about the economics? The financial benefit to Hailey is an event fee of a few thousand dollars and a few more visitors, a tiny amount overwhelmed by the harm to the reputation of our valley for being a place where a company can profit from a business based upon suffering. Instead, let’s lead and make the right call, for the young people in our community and for the general welfare, and benefiting our community’s reputation and bottom line. Sincerely, Aimee Christensen

The activity was part of RBC Blue Water Day, where employees around the world show their support for clean water by wearing blue and taking part in activities to protect nature’s most valuable resource. The ERC was selected for the activity because of their mission to help the local community understand, value and thrive in a sustainable environment. RBC Wealth Management donated $1,000 to the ERC through a Day of Service Grant. About the RBC Blue Water Project The RBC Blue Water Project is a historic, wide-ranging, 10-year global commitment to help protect the world’s most precious natural resource: fresh water. Since 2007, RBC has pledged nearly $41 million to more than 700 charitable organizations worldwide that protect water, with an additional $8.8 million pledged to universities for water programs.

Redfish Technology Redefines Success

Understanding Commercial Lending

BY MIKE MCKENNA

t’s rather easy to judge a company’s success simply by looking at its books. But a truly successful company doesn’t just have its numbers in the black; its employees are also enjoying the positive and profitable values of feeling appreciated, challenged and productive, and that there’s opportunity for professional growth. No matter how you measure it, Redfish Technology, which has offices in the Main Street Plaza building in Hailey, is an extremely successful company. For the third consecutive year, it took home first place in the Best Places to Work in Idaho contest (which is based largely on employee responses), and the company’s founder and president, Rob Reeves, was recently named 2015 Idaho Business Leader of the Year. “If we do things right in our house, so to speak, it permeates outside our offices,” Reeves said about a business philosophy that’s been steadily evolving since he first started up the nationwide executive search firm in 1996. “A big part of this is the culture. It’s a very dynamic environment. You’re not in cubicles. You’re working independently but, ultimately, you’re part of a team. It can be very enlightening and al-

lows a lot of room for personal growth, if you’re willing to find and face your weaknesses. It’s a very human job.” According to Reeves, the ideal humans (talent scouts, executive recruiters, headhunters or whatever you’d like to call the high-tech recruiting staff) are a “special breed”: sharp-minded, solution-oriented, risk-takers and team players who can thrive in a unique environment. Commissions amongst the 11 staffers are shared, with rewards going out for the top quarterly and annual earners. But being successful for Redfish Technology is about more than sales. “We try to have a very holistic view of business,” explained Ann Mathieu, Redfish Technology’s marketing communications manager.

“How does business fit into our lives and our world? What are we doing right? What can we improve upon?” Every week, the team sits down to watch TED Talks on everything from technology trends to time management tips to motivational speeches. They also have strong community connection programs like “One for One,” which allows staffers to donate time and money to charities after every professional placement ~ something they do rather regularly. Besides the market being “very, very strong right now,” Reeves explained another key to his company’s success. “I’ve got a very determined streak in me, “ he said. “Sometimes the brilliance is in just getting through until it comes back around.”

Redemption Song ‘Danny Collins’

o one was more surprised than me at how truly good the new Al Pacino film, “Danny Collins,” is. After watching the trailer, I thought it had “stinker” written all over it; I couldn’t understand how so many great actors were taking part in a bad movie – it just didn’t add up. Now, I know why they all signed up. Great performances matched with a great script are always the formula for a great movie, and “Danny Collins” delivers in spades. Of course, it helps a lot to have Pacino in top form as the aging rocker forced to

sing his lame hits night after night to adoring fans – so that he can retain his mansion and trophy wife. “Danny Collins” is a story about redemption and, given the lackluster string of Pacino films of late, it might be his redemption song as well. The movie takes its jumping-off point from the true story of British musician Steve Tilston, who received a letter from John Lennon decades after the note was written. In this movie, a jaded Pacino receives Lennon’s letter from his manager, Christopher Plummer, 40 years after Lennon wrote it. In it, he urges the young singer/songwriter to hang in there and invites him to

visit. Forty years later, singing the material that others wrote for him, Pacino decides to start over and make things right. This includes moving into a Hilton Hotel in New Jersey to be near his estranged son, played by Bobby Cannavale, his wife, portrayed by Jennifer Garner, and adorable granddaughter. It’s also where he meets and flirts with Annette Bening, who plays the hotel manager. Pacino’s character is on a new path; the question is, can he sustain it? It’s a complex question and in the excellent film written and directed by Dan Fogelman, we get the taste of an answer. tws

hoosing a lender and developing a relationship is a very important goal. Besides money, lenders can provide something almost as valuable: advice and support. By giving you insights into opportunities within your industry, lenders allow you to take advantage of those opportunities. They will help you choose which of their products and services are best for your situation. Keep in mind that lenders want you to be successful because they want a portfolio of strong, profitable businesses. Some valuable things to consider include the following: What kind of loan do I need? It depends on the purpose of the loan and how long are you asking for repayment. Short Term (less than a year): Maybe a Line Of Credit (LOC). Like a credit card, they have a predetermined loan limit. On lines of credit, the money is used when needed and then repaid. LOCs can be used for working capital. Term Loans: Loan payments are made in installments, usually every month. Smaller-term loans are for buying a business, long-term working capital, inventory, expenses, machinery, equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements. Determine the total amount you need by obtaining quotes and estimates. Longer-term loans are used to buy or refinance Melissa Humphreys is a lifelong native commercial real estate, of the Wood River Valley with over years in the banking industry.

Courtesy photo and quote Should I check my personal credit? What can I do if I have had personal credit problems? Review your personal credit report once a year. Your credit information impacts many decisions, from the loan size to the interest rate. A credit report includes credit cards, any mortgages and your loan payment history. There are three different credit-reporting agencies (Equifax, TransUnion and Experian) that provide your information to lenders, so it’s a good idea to review all of the information available. Your FICO credit score comes from the Fair Isaac Company, who condenses all of your credit information into one number or score. Credit scores typically range from 500-800, and low scores affect your ability to obtain a loan or the desired interest rate. How can you maintain and improve your credit score? Pay your bills on time and manage credit wisely. If you have credit problems, explain them to the lender. Why does my personal credit history enter into a lender’s decision? Since you run the business, lenders assume there is a direct relationship between your personal credit history and the business’ credit history. Credit-conscious lenders prefer applicants who have good credit. The more secure a lender feels about you, the better the chance for your loan approval. Pay attention to the seven Cs: Credit: must be good, problems must be explained. Capacity: the business must be able to support its debts and expenses and be profitable. Capital: money you or investors are putting in or equity you already have in the business. Collateral: the value of assets that secure the loan. Character: of the borrower and guarantors. Conditions: the economy, industry trends or anything that will affect your business. Commitment: your ability and your willingness to succeed, which involves guaranteeing the debt personally even if the company can’t pay it. Word du jour

horeau writes in Walden, “No method nor discipline can supersede the necessity of being forever on the alert. What is a course of history or philosophy, or poetry, no matter how well selected, or the best society, or the most admirable routine of life, compared with the discipline of looking always at what is to be seen? Will you be a reader, a student merely, or a seer?” I like to hike alone so that I can get lost in observation, although I would never say no to a family member that wished to accompany me! I like to hike with my sketchbook so that I can jot down impressions, colors, sounds, light and – when the moment hits – a sketch. Photographs are lovely, but at the end of the day, if I want to relive the moment, if I want to create poetry, a drawing will bring me back to my experience. I will remember the breeze (or the wind) moving my paper while I sketched. I will remember the heat or the cold, the darkness or the light. The outing will be forever etched into my memory. Taylor Canyon Loop seems to be my favorite hike these days. Walking up the canyon, the approach of summer is marked by gentle green leaves at the beginning of the trail, to the leaf buds still not open at the top of the trail. This past week, the moment for creating a sketch

Leslie Rego’s sketch of Prairie Smoke, found locally on the Taylor Canyon Loop. Courtesy of the artist

hit when I found a patch of Prairie Smoke. The flowers were tiny, no larger than the tip of my little finger. Within that small shape, the colors ranged from pale pink to light lavender and from moss green to almost white. As I sat and sketched late in the afternoon, the clouds collected and the air became quite heavy. I was worried it might rain, but I decided to take my time and to enjoy painting while sitting alongside the flower. The wind picked up and the flowers bounced on their delicate stalks. While sketching, what did I observe? Prairie Smoke generally grows three flowers to a stem. The flower head is bell-like, surrounded by five

slender curved bracts alternating with the five lobes of the flower. Where the three flowers come together is a pair of green leaf-like bracts. Halfway up the stalk of two of the flowers there are purplish-green bracts. The stem is hairy. The leaves fan out like a fern on either side of the stalk. At times, the large leaf is separated by a much smaller leaf. Sitting amongst the flower for such an extended time allowed me to live with the flower, to internalize the shapes and colors of the flower and, most importantly, the essence of the flower. Yes, I did get off of the mountain before the rain hit!

Salmonella & Backyard Chickens A BY BLAINE COUNTY EXTENSION

I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells. Dr. Seuss 18

ll chicks have the potential to be infected with different types of Salmonella. Chicks carry Salmonella in their digestive tracts and the bacteria are shed with the chicks’ manure. As with other animals infected with Salmonella, infected chicks may appear healthy and clean and show no signs of illness. As a result, contact with live poultry and their environment requires attention to sanitation. The following safe practices should be followed when handling any poultry: Wash your hands after touching poultry or equipment in their surroundings, using proper hand-washing techniques. If you do not have access to a hand-washing facility, use hand sanitizer until you are able to wash your hands. Ensure that a child handling chicks keeps his or her hands away from the face, especially the mouth and eyes. Do not snuggle or kiss chicks. Do not let poultry inside the house or in outdoor living spaces, especially in areas where food and drink are prepared, served or stored. Do not clean poultry equipment in areas where food and drink are prepared, such as a kitchen sink. It is better to wash such equipment outside the house. T h e W e e k ly S u n •

m ay 13, 2015

People raising backyard flocks, as well as the general public, should understand that salmonellosis can result from many animal sources, including reptiles, turtles and rodents. In fact, the likelihood of getting salmonellosis is greater with other pets than with poultry. Because animals infected with Salmonella can appear healthy, care should be taken when handling any animal. For more information on Salmonella and backyard chickens, visit www.extension. org.

no bones about it

Preventing Dog Bites BY FRAN JEWELL

he first step to preventing dog bites is to realize that all dogs have the potential to bite, given the right situation. For us to believe that our dog will never bite, no matter what, is unrealistic. Even the most docile, sweet golden retriever can decide to nip a youngster lying on her sore, arthritic hip. Once we understand that dogs are living beings and, regardless of how wonderful they have been, there can be a time with the right set of circumstances that our lovely friend may nip or bite. Here are some simple things you can do to prevent bites from happening in the first place. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Leash your dog when someone comes near. It’s just common courtesy to understand that not everyone will adore your dog like you do. Then, ask if your dog can approach in a controlled manner. Teaching your dog respectful greeting habits is imperative. This also gives your dog a sense of security – that you will handle things by reducing stress that can contribute to biting or nipping. A leash is your connection to your dog. Socialize your dog. That doesn’t mean just play dates with other dogs. It means lots of different experiences where you control the outcome to be a positive one. It does not mean leaving the situation for your dog to decide how to respond. Set your dog up for success!

Have a secure place in your home for your dog. That might mean a fencedin yard, away from nearby walkways or streets. Dogs that are allowed too close to public walkways are in danger of harassment from strangers that don’t mean well. Be sure to lock gates and only allow landscapers in when you unlock the gate. Lock your front door. For myself, on three different occasions over the years, I have had people start to open my front door thinking my house belonged to their friend who actually lived next door. I was fortunate that my door was locked. Startled dogs in your home are much more likely to become naturally protective. Be sure that if you have a dog that lives in chronic pain (and this can be hard to know for sure, so check with your veterinarian), that their pain is being controlled. Dogs in pain from arthritis, joint disease or cancer can become easily irritated and resort to biting or nipping to protect themselves. Other health issues, such as hearing loss or vision loss, can cause dogs to be more reactive. Again, health issues should be diagnosed by your veterinarian with regular checkups. Teach small children to be respectful of dogs ~ every dog. Children should never sit on, pull hair or ears or be allowed to put their hands in or go near food bowls. Children should not be allowed to take a dog’s toy from it either. No matter how tolerant the dog may seem,

Even the sweetest dog can have a bad day and unexpectedly nip or bite. Courtesy photo

there might come a day that your dog feels off, or more stressed, where it decides to defend its food or toy. Remember, dogs are dogs and living beings, which means they are not always predictable no matter how sweet they have been in the past. Get early training for your puppy. When puppies learn about bite inhibition and proper personal restraint before they are 16 weeks of age, it greatly reduces the risk of biting or nipping when they get older. While this list does not encompass every situation, it will help you on the road to preventing nipping and biting. Once a dog bites, it becomes very difficult to reverse that behavior. If you need more help, do not hesitate for one minute to contact a professional that has more ideas for prevention.

Contemporary Realist Painter BY SUZANNE HAZLETT

orothea Cheney considers herself a contemporary realist and symbolist painter, incorporating objects into her paintings that engage a visceral connection. “In the process of creating each piece, I expose emotions and thoughts that deserve attention and recognition and resolution,” she explained. “The resolution is a ‘letting go.’ I believe the ability to ‘let go’ allows for endless possibilities.” As a child, Cheney was encouraged to follow her creative leanings. Her aunt and namesake, Dorothea Morell Brown, was a professional artist who recognized artistic talent materializing in her niece at an early age. Born the second of seven children, Cheney was henceforth dubbed “the family artist.” “I often received artists’ materials and art books for Christmas and birthday presents,” Cheney explained. “There was no question in my mind that I would attend art school.” Cheney earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of South Florida in Tampa, and she credits the many accomplished photorealist painters on the faculty of the Art Department at USF for influencing her early work. Within her current body of work, Cheney seeks to visually deconstruct her rendered images to simple lines, shape and color.

She’ll begin her day in the studio by quietly taking in and reflecting on her work in progress. Often, multiple paintings will be underway and in different stages of development. Books, catalogs or periodicals are perused for visual and literary stimuli, while music wafts through the studio. Poignant prose, editorials, the work of other artists and music are all “triggers” that instigate Cheney’s creative process. “Music and lyrics are probably the greatest sources,” she said. “I must paint to music.” Once her painting surfaces are prepared, oil paint and medium are layered repetitiously. The early stages of Cheney’s paintings may change in appearance by the minute, often dramatically. To allow considered review of a work’s progress, she photographs the evolution of each piece. Aside from visual and auditory influences that inform Cheney’s art, the artist views her paintings as memories and reminders. “The experience of raising my children has given me tremendous insight, fortitude, gratitude, humility and acceptance… all of which give me reasons to paint,” she said. This is the first year Dorothea Cheney will join the Valley’s artists and welcome visitors to her studio during the third annual Wood River Valley Studio Tour, August 22-23.
