independence Festivities Your guide to the Fourth of July

BY MARIA PREKEGES

The Fourth of July, or Independence Day, is a national holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. We’ve come a long way since 1776, but the celebrations behind the Fourth are still grand, including those right here in the Wood River Valley. Here is a taste of what you’ll find going on over the Fourth of July weekend. Wave your flag high and have a fun Fourth of July! Hailey Hailey comes to life over the Fourth of July weekend with the Hailey Days of the Old West celebration. There is plenty of fun for all ages, with activities that include rodeos, fireworks, a parade, pancake breakfast, live music, antique fairs and carnival, just to name a few. Start things off right Saturday morning, July 4th, with a pancake breakfast offered by the local Boy Scouts. You’ll get a full hot breakfast of homemade pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage and more at the Upper Big Wood River Grange Hall on South 3rd Avenue in Hailey. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for kids, with a

family of four welcome for $20. Pancakes are served from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. You’ll also find a children’s carnival at the farmers’ market lot north of Sturtos on Main Street in Hailey on the Fourth from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door. A highlight of the day will be the Hailey Days of the Old West Parade. With over 75 entrants, you will not be disappointed, with the theme this year The Wild, Wild West. The parade starts promptly at noon on Main Street in Hailey. Right after the parade head down to the Draper Wood River Preserve for the Draper Preserve River Festival where you’ll find food, music, river activities, face-painting, educational nature programs and more. The festival will run from 2-5 p.m. One not-to-be-missed event is the Sawtooth Rangers Fourth of July Rodeos. For more on this great family event, go to pages 4 and 5 for all the details. The Fourth will conclude with the City of Hailey’s Fireworks Extravaganza. Watch the show from your favorite spot in Hailey and celebrate a great end to a fantastic Fourth of July. Fireworks start at dusk – approximately 9-9:30 p.m.

Other great Hailey happenings include the Hailey antique fairs. You’ll enjoy browsing for all kinds of treasures at two different locations. The Fourth of July Antique Market takes place at Roberta McKercher Gateway Park July 3-5. Times are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Hailey’s Main Street Antique Art and Craft Market takes place on the north end of Main Street in Hailey, and times are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Ketchum Continuing the theme of arts and antiques, you’ll find the Ketchum Arts & Antique Show at Forest Service Park in Ketchum located at 1st Avenue and Washington Street. Admission is free and show hours are Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ketchum will also feature lots of great shopping and sales at local merchants. And you can top off your weekend with live music at Whiskey Jacques’ on the Fourth with Andy Frasco & The U.N. Continued independence Next Page

The Sawtooth Rangers “Days of the Old West” Rodeo features over 10 entry categories including kids’ mutton bustin’.

Rangers Ride ’Em At Old West Rodeo BY P.M. FADDEN

his year’s Hailey “Days of the Old West” celebration returns to the Wood River community July 2-5. Three festive days span the Fourth of July holiday, encompassing an event schedule featuring meal gatherings, mini-carnivals/festivals/fairs, a parade, fireworks and the Sawtooth Rangers Riding Club’s not-to-bemissed “Days of the Old West” Rodeo. “The July celebrations and activities carry on a tradition as old as the town itself,” said Hailey Chamber of Commerce representatives Shelly Enderud and Geegee Lowe, referring to the Valley’s festival records dating to the early 1900s. The anticipated weekend aptly kicks off July 2–4 with its annual professional rodeo, a historical fixture itself celebrating the 67th year of ropin’ and ridin’ fun. Humbly begun as informal occasional gatherings, the nonprofit Sawtooth Rangers Riding Club rodeo upholds a proud history dating back to 1947 and has been 10 times voted “Rodeo of the Year” by the IMPRA [Intermountain Pro Rodeo Association]. The three-day’s entertainment attracted 5,000 attendees to last year’s events, a ceiling figure organizers expect to breach in 2015. “The Sawtooth Rangers stimulate the local economy by hosting the rodeo, and we donate a portion of the proceeds back to the community to benefit organizations like the 4-H programs, skijoring, and high school rodeo,” explained club treasurer Julie Flolo. Pre-events held at the Hailey rodeo arena start at 6:30 p.m., with full-tilt rodeo wilds firing off from 7:30 p.m. Rodeo events include the grand entry, bareback riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, breakaway roping, stock saddle bronc riding, tiedown roping, ladies barrel racing, team roping, bull riding and family rodeo entertainment. Evening pre-event performances feature rodeo Queen Contestants’ Freestyle Reining at 6:30 p.m. along with special attractions on each rodeo date; July 2 and 3 feature Mutton Bustin’, with Hometown Bull Riding thrills on tap for July 4. The Sawtooth Rangers Rodeo plays host to a selection of the nation’s premier roughriders on the backs of rodeo stock deemed “some of the best in the country.” All event seating is open format and tickets are general admission only with pre-purchasable adult and child-under-10 tickets priced before tax at $11 and $6, respectively. Gate prices are $15 for adults and $10 for children 10 years and younger. Tickets are available at the Hailey Welcome Center and all Atkinsons’ Market locations.

“Community participation in the club is vital to the continued success of the club and therefore the benefits that the rodeo brings to the Wood River Valley,” said Flolo. “Rodeo is a proud tradition in the West and in Hailey,” said Hailey Chamber of Commerce representatives. “It has been a tremendous asset to the city.” The Sawtooth Rangers Riding Club is a tradition-conscious community facet and hopeful for its future. “Our goal is to build membership in the club so that the Rangers can continue to produce an amazing rodeo, support the local economy, create unforgettable memories on our trail rides and at our parties,” said Flolo. “And, to meet lifelong friends and have fun while doing all of this horsing around!” added Flolo. The Fourth of July holiday understandably marks an extra bustling schedule of events spanning the whole day leading up to rodeo action. New to this year’s “Days of the Old West” celebrations is the Draper Preserve River Festival held on Saturday, July 4 from 2-5 p.m. at the Draper Wood River Preserve just west of downtown Hailey adjacent to Lions Park. The event features face-painting, nature education, food, music and river activities. Early evening hours offer opportunity for busy celebration attendees to circle back to the ongoing activities of the Sawtooth Rangers Rodeo and Antique Fairs prior to commencement of the evening’s closing entertainment: the Fireworks Extravaganza. Following Saturday night’s rodeo entertainment, the City of Hailey invites audiences to a $15,000 East Hailey display of colorful aerial firepower. The barrage boasts over 400 shells and opens fire from dusk (9-9:30 p.m.) onward. Audiences are encouraged to “Buy a Mortar” for this year’s show, with proceeds used to sustain and grow the Hailey Fireworks Extravaganza. The City of Hailey Fireworks Fund offers a donation scale for shells sized 3 to 7 inches, explaining that the larger the shell size, the greater the altitude achievable from firing. “This whole thing is an amazing town effort,” said Lowe. “It wouldn’t be possible without the incredible contributions by lots of people.” “We’re always welcome to everyone,” adds Enderud. “We’d love to see increased numbers in wagons and bands for future parades and, come to think of it, horses for the rodeo and parade, too!” Enderud recalls one past July celebration that saw fresh snowfall. “I’d certainly rather see sun than snow!” she laughs. tws

National Roots To Family Tree

BY P.M. FADDEN

ith the country joining together in celebration of the July 4th Independence Day holiday, south-Bellevue resident J.H. Washington shares a unique family heirloom of nation-building consequence. A transplant to the Wood River Valley from Seattle, 85-year-old James Hubert Washington represents a descendant branch upon a family tree stemming from U.S. founding father, George Washington, a lineage appointing him custodian to several articles of family memorabilia, including a rare clipping of the first President’s hair. The treasured centerpiece to a collection of hereditary history, the golden-hued hair of revolutionary figurehead George Washington has been thatch-woven

and overlaid with 13 golden stars (now time-sifted down into the hair strands) and safely sealed within a pin-able locket measuring 1 3/4 inches by 1 inch. The locket’s case, too, represents significant historical ties. The oval latch-closed box is believed to have been carved from the wood of that nationally famous naval vessel, the USS Constitution. “It’s always been an important piece in our family,” said J.H. of the locket. “The family has enjoyed it, and it’s wonderful to see that others enjoy it also.” Recognized as first cousin five times removed from his iconic ancestor George, J.H.’s family line also includes Dr. J.A. Washington, noted man of medicine and introducer of the hypodermic needle to the U.S. “He was my great-grandfather,” explained J.H. of his fam-

First gifted to famous realist painter J. Trumbull from George Washington, the thatched locket of hair is inlaid with 13 gold stars and is said to be encased in a box crafted from the same wood as the ship USS Constitution.

ily’s lineage to J.A. “It was him who brought the locket back into the family’s hands.” Presented first as a personal gift from George Washington to Colonel John Trumbull in 1793, the locket was expressly crafted to thank the famous painter, and George’s aide-de-camp, for a portrait Trumbull had completed of Mrs. Washington. An engraving upon the locket’s backside states, “Hair of Washington given to J. Trumbull, June 1793”. Years later, the realist painter and former member of George’s personal staff deemed that the locket should pass to the care of his physician, and George’s heir, Dr. J.A. Washington. “He [Trumbull] felt that the gift should return to the Washington family for safekeeping,” said J.H. of the locket’s homecoming. Along with the locket, the south-Bellevue-based Washington heir also retains portraits, swords and dueling pistols all with historical family roots. One portrait features Dr. J.A. himself, a gift to the medical man believed to have been painted by Trumbull in thanks for services rendered. Also among the portraits are two serene Madonnas suspected to have been gifts to Dr. J.A. Washington from the King of Spain while on a European sojourn undertaken during the doctor’s youth. The Madonnas, as well as the portrait of Dr. J.A., are all proudly displayed on the ground floor of J.H. Washington’s Bellevue home. “I’ve conducted research at Yale University’s historical memora-

bilia collection and visited Mount Vernon to review similar Washington artifacts,” said J.H. “It seems that the care and personal touch evident in the locket grant it a uniqueness to stand apart from other historical pieces.” Previous years have seen the locket permitted for display during public speeches, weddings or presentations such as those held on George Washington’s birthday. It has also been shown in the classrooms of J.H.’s immediate family, which encompasses three children, 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. “It was clear growing up that the locket was special, but really it was an article I seldom actually saw,” reminisced J.H. “Obviously, it’s significant to people interested in history, and I know I’ve had a ball with it,” he added. tws

Heritage Court honoree

irginia Alice Reed was born Aug. 2, 1930, in Long Beach, Calif., and adopted at birth into a family that lived in Westwood and Brentwood, where she grew up. Westwood was developed by the Janss Investment Company and Reed, who most people know as “Ginny,” was a lifelong friend of Bill Janss, former owner of Sun Valley Company. Her father was an executive with the Automobile Club of Southern California. As a young girl, Reed became an accomplished ice skater and appeared in a film with Sonia Henie. When she was 10, she was going to Yosemite to ice skate when her party became snowed in at Fish Camp, a few miles outside of the park. There was no skating at Fish Camp, but there were some skis, and Reed put them on and began playing around in the snow. She liked it so much that, when the roads opened, she convinced her father to take her to Yosemite’s Badger Pass Ski Area, where there were lifts. Reed’s young delight in skiing fast in a straight line, combined with her inability to turn and lack of control, inspired her father to hire a private ski instructor for his daughter. That was 1941 and the rest is history. Reed ski raced in the 1940s and ’50s in California on a circuit that included Bill Janss. In 1950, she was crowned “Southern California Ski Queen” and one of the benefits was her first trip to Sun Valley. Since then, she has lived most of her life in

the Wood River Valley. For many years Reed divided her time between skiing, ski racing, teaching skiing and working as an actress in the film and TV industry in Hollywood. She explains, “I had a career there if I wanted it, but I’m not a Hollywood type. I wanted to ski full time.” And so she has. From 1973 to 1989 she taught for Sun Valley Company. And she is still ski racing at the age of 84. She has won many national championships in the masters division and long ago lost count of her skiing trophies, pins, medals and awards from ski racing. In 2011, she broke her pelvis and injured a femur and managed to win at the next year’s Masters National Championships. At the beginning of last year’s ski season she had hernia surgery and was out for most of the season, but rallied to race in the Nationals held in Sun Valley in March. Ginny Reed was the Bellevue Public Library’s pick for the 2015 Blaine County Historical Museum Heritage Court. Reed is looking forward to next season’s ski racing because she’ll be 85 and, she says, “I’m the only one in my class.” She lives on her ranch near Bellevue close to her son, Chris Martin. She has three grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, two dogs—a Great Pyrenees and a border collie—a house cat, a barn cat and a “huge raccoon.” She asked, “Does anyone know how to get rid of a raccoon?” Ginny Reed is, truly, the only one in her class. tws

ed as a maid and did laundry, and worked there until she retired at the age of 88. When asked what she thinks about living to 110 and the secret of her longevity, her dear family friend Sharon Schrock explains: “She’s not sure what her secret is and is still trying to figure out why she’s lived this long.” Schrock also shares a fun story that shows Harper’s sense of humor and their special friendship: “One day Chrystal asked me ‘Why do you think I’m still here?’ and I replied, ‘I think it’s because God doesn’t know what to do with you.’ Chrystal immediately started laughing and said ‘I think you’re right!’ ” One of Harper’s caregivers from The Senior Connection in Hailey, Anna Brown, who’s been with Harper for three years, explains why she loves spending time with her: “I love how spunky she is. At her age most people would be bedridden and she’s still up every morning drinking coffee and she’s still up with the

day and wanting to know what’s going on. Every morning at 5:30 she says, ‘Time to get up!’ She’s just programmed for being a father’s daughter to get up every morning and work, and I think that’s why she’s been here for so long.” Chrystal Harper has seen a lot in her 110 years – from the first automobiles to a man on the moon to computers and the like. She’s still very sharp and is very aware of everything and her surroundings, especially when you bring her chocolate. tws

ellevue resident Chrystal Harper is no stranger to birthdays and birthday parties. This past Sunday, June 28, Harper gracefully turned 110 years old. So what does someone that turns 110 years old receive for birthday presents? One of her favorite foods, of course – chocolate. And not just any chocolate, but milk chocolate, as it is her favorite. Harper’s face lit up when she was presented with a birthday bag full of Hershey’s milk chocolate and, when presented with her other favorite, Symphony bars with almonds and toffee chips, her eyes opened wide as she declared “Chocolate!” Chrystal Harper was born just south of Bellevue at Stanton Crossing in 1905. Early on in her life, her mother passed away and, with her older sisters already out Courtesy photo of the house, Harper took on the role of mother and caregiver for Flowers, balloons and cards, as well not only her siblings and father, as family photos, adorn Chrystal Harper’s dresser. but also for her father’s employees. It fell to her to take care of everybody; she was responsible for making all the dinners for the farm hands, like fried chicken and stewed potatoes and onions. After life on the farm, Harper lived in Boise for a while and that is where she met her husband, Ed Harper. Chrystal and Ed were married in 1927 and soon after moved to Long Beach, Calif., where they opened up a cleaners. The two ended up moving back to the Wood River Valley in 1943, where Harper has lived ever since. The two farmed for a while, but after Ed’s early passing at age Courtesy photo 57, and with Chrystal only 53, she went to work at The Christi- Chrystal Harper and her husband Ed in a portrait just after they were ania hotel in Ketchum.

Football player and wrestler Aramys Gallegos.

Hard Hitter Aramys Gallegos

BY JONATHAN KANE

ecent Wood River High School graduate Aramys Gallegos loves sports and loves clean living. “The two go together,” he said. Gallegos specialized in two sports in high school – football and wrestling – and is a member of Idaho Drug-Free Youth. “I started playing football in middle school. I needed something to do in the summers and I thought I’d try it. My dad was all for it and my mom just wanted me to be careful. The first time I went out there it was pretty scary, but then I loved it.” When asked why, Gallegos responded, “It was great to be able to knock someone out and it was also a great way to relieve stress after a long day at school.” Although he was small in stature then, they started him at center and nose guard on defense. “That’s what they gave me at first,” said Gallegos. “I didn’t know what I was doing, but I said I’d try it. At first I felt I could do it, but when I got in there, everyone was a lot bigger and beefier. It went okay. I didn’t hate it, but it was difficult at first. “I played the same positions in eighth grade and I was an average player, just a lot smaller than some of the other kids. I thought I’d be done after middle school, but then I was recruited by the high school coach to play. There, everyone was a lot bigger and I knew I couldn’t play the line anymore, so they moved me to

cornerback and wide receiver. I was a lot faster than the running backs, so it worked out well for being a new position.” In 10th grade Gallegos fell in love with weightlifting and that made a huge difference. He became bigger and heavier, so they moved him to outside linebacker and fullback. “I didn’t want to be the smallest anymore, so I started working out with the older guys and really started lifting a lot. My first game at linebacker I got a sack and it was really awesome. As a runner, I pretty much blocked.” His junior year, Gallegos moved to varsity. “It felt awesome. You were the top dog in the school. But it was a weird year because they switched me back to cornerback and wide receiver. It was a tough transition for me. I got to start a few games, but we ended the season 1-8, so it was pretty disappointing.” His senior year, Gallegos took on a big leadership role. “There were a lot of sophomores on the team and they were really good. They are a special group. It was a little bit of a disappointing year for me because I felt I didn’t live up to expectations and started on special teams but, in the homecoming game, I recovered a fumble that led to us tying the game, so that was pretty special.” As to his love of the game, Gallegos said, “I love hitting and, it being a team sport, there is a special bond between the players and you make friends that will last a lifetime.” tws

The Sun’s New Groove

For The Fourth

By Brennan Rego

BY JOELLEN COLLINS

elcome to The Weekly Sun’s new look. Over the past few weeks, the Sun crew and I have been busy poring over local newspapers from all over the United States, making a list of all the design features we like best and redesigning The Weekly Sun from the ground up to offer a fresh and functional new look to our readers. We hope you enjoy the results! The most notable change is our all new, multipage calendar (pages 16-19 in this issue). When we brainstormed the new calendar, our objective was to provide the community with a visually beautiful and informative guide to current events in the Wood River Valley and beyond. We wanted the calendar to be as fun to read as the events themselves are enjoyable to attend. Also, thanks to all the local businesses who bought ads in the calendar pages; we couldn’t do what we do best without your most appreciated support! You may note that we’ve made significant changes to our front page. We’ll be running large photos, images, illustrations and other works of art to bring our front page to life every week. If you know a local artist or photographer who might be interested in having her/his work featured on our cover, have her/ him get in touch (brennan@theweeklysun.com or 208-720-1295). Other changes include clearer labeling of all articles (so readers can easily find and dive into the content that interests them most), new headline and body text fonts that are both aesthetic and easy to read and several other adjustments that we felt would enhance the overall experience of reading The Weekly Sun. Stay tuned as we continue to grow and evolve the paper to best suit the Valley’s local media needs. And let us know what you’d like to see in our local newspaper; we’re all ears!

Bellevue Library Spreads The Word

veryone’s invited, so settle in. Let’s get to know more of our community friends. An endearing gem rests off of a Bellevue side street. From its frontage flies a colorful flag welcoming all with the assurance that their door is open. You’ve arrived at the Bellevue Public Library, home to the written word’s heart. “We wish to spread literacy and a love of learning – especially for our youth,” said leading library ladies Kristin Gearhart and Betsy Castle. “That will help to grow library patronage but also keep the people interested in books and sharing knowledge.” 12

Betsy and Kristin, with the help of young Ms. Camden, staff a Bellevue Public Library with a history that began in 1947 when books were loaned from the basement of a private residence. Today, the library has its own building with a hometown feel and a catalog of over 17,000 audio, DVD and print titles, with a circulation that spans the Wood River Valley and encompasses the south county. “We’re involved in book share with The Community Library in Ketchum as well as a national book-share system that pairs many Boise libraries with our collection,” said Gearhart. “We’re also about spreading the word through outreach efforts and local programming,” explained both Gearhart and Castle. The Bellevue Library hosts a communitywide five-week summer reading program with over

120 participants, read-along sessions where children receive free copies of the book they’ve been reading, and partners with The Hunger Coalition to provide free snacks and lunches to young library patrons. “We want to stay active and keep growing,” said Gearhart of Bellevue Library future plans. “Our goal is to expand our current library facility, doubling its size, team with Valley program ‘Wood River Library Services’ and add courses/classes for adults as well as children covering topics like cooking, technologies and reading clubs while also providing space for other area clubs and groups to meet.” “We’ve already been accepted to the adult program ‘Let’s Talk About It’ set to begin next year,” added Gearhart. “We’re moving in the right direction,” said Castle. “We’re open to work with any interest-

We Should Not Abandon Gun Control To begin, I disagree with the argument of the editorial “Shame could control guns better than new laws.” We should not abandon common sense gun regulation. However, I do agree with the intent behind the editorial, which is to save lives and create a cultural shift. It should be known that I don’t consider those who protested in front of the Idaho Mountain Express or any law-abiding citizen to be a threat. However, they contribute to a culture of fear that convinces many of us that we need to arm ourselves against a constant threat. This fear enables us to believe everyone should have a gun, even when we see them being used for senseless violence. Who uses them for violence? They are not always identifiable; hence, the problem. When you see armed individuals coming toward you, your first thought is not, “Oh, they are carrying guns to peacefully demonstrate their support of the Constitution.” People instead respond with fear, like in Michigan, where an open-carry protestor caused a nearby high school to go into

lockdown and the police to be called to respond to what could have been an active-shooter situation. These incidents are too common. So what is gun control meant to control? It is meant to control individuals who may use weapons violently. That requires compromise. We as a society agree there should be speed limits when driving. We suspend licenses of unsafe drivers. Guns should be no different. We have to compensate for those not as responsible with a weapon that can take a life. The attempt to have that discussion in this Valley has regrettably created backlash rather than dialogue. This reaction is part of the problem. To quote Australian scholar Jim Jefferies: “In Australia, we had the biggest massacre on earth, and the Australian government went: ‘That’s it! No more guns!’ And we all went, ‘Yeah, all right then, that seems fair enough, really.’ Now, in America, you had the Sandy Hook massacre, where little tiny children died. And your government went, ‘Maybe ... we’ll get rid of the big guns?’ ” Even in

the face of tragedy there is an unwillingness to confront the problem. Following the shooting in Charleston, President Obama quoted this statistic: “Per population, we kill each other with guns at a rate 297 times more than Japan, 49 times more than France, 33 times more than Israel.” This staggering information should give all of us pause. The Weekly Sun’s article (Public Shame Is Sad Rhetoric) asked about responsible local media. I am currently a college student who writes for my college paper. We ran an editorial about Greek life and discussed instances of sexual assault. There was backlash from members of Greek life, similar to the response from local gun owners. I bring this up because both of these editorials are not irresponsible. Without them, this ever important and ongoing dialogue would not have taken place. It is imperative that we face this growing problem as individuals and as a community. Chase Hutchinson Ketchum resident

ne of my repeated clichés is that on the Fourth of July I feel like little flags are popping out of my ears. The first time I expressed this was on a Fourth many years ago when, as a young woman, I traveled alone to Greece and Spain for a summer. On the way, I stayed with my mother’s cousins, who lived near Catholic University, where her cousin-in-law, Giovanni, was a professor. In spite of his profound sadness about the government’s negative treatment of a couple of rebellious poets he knew, he adored and respected this country. That Fourth we went to Arlington National Cemetery and observed JFK’s memorial and the thousands of graves of the honored. When “Taps” were played, I felt a familiar swelling of emotion, that of pride in my country. I grew up in a time when my father (crippled, so he couldn’t enlist in WWII) was director of the USO in San Francisco. Meeting young soldiers and sailors invited to our home for Sunday dinners and being mesmerized by the quick extinguishing of city lights during air raids was exciting to me. I was too little to understand the sacrifice some of the handsome Courtesy photo young men com- JoEllen Collins—a longtime ing through our resident of the Wood River doors would soon Valley—is a teacher, writer, face in the Pacif- fabric artist, choir member and unabashedly proud ic. When I was in grandma known as “Bibi Jo.” junior high, I became fascinated with Hitler and also read John Hersey’s Hiroshima in a quest to understand the horrors hidden from me. I remember feeling sad but still full of patriotism for America. I am still a patriot and happy I was born in a country that, on the whole, has provided me with a sense of safety and a rule of law: I don’t fear a militia group coming to my door in the middle of the night. I still deeply believe that the principles upon which the USA was founded are honorable and worth fighting for. I am teaching a class this summer for bright juniors and seniors on literature of and about the ‘60s in America. To see the knowledge of this era dawn in the consciousnesses of students of this generation is amazing. They are studying the ups and downs of a time when most of America’s values were challenged. We just finished reading Tom O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, and one of the assignments was for these bright young scholar-athletes to imagine what they would have done had they been summoned in the draft to fight in Vietnam. I was impressed with the universal sense that, whatever decision they made, they honored their country. If people warn about the lack of respect for values of this generation, they should meet these inquisitive minds and read these papers. In spite of this time’s terrors, I have some renewed hope for the future. I am highly impressed with the intelligence and dedication of my students. They make flags pop out of my ears! tws

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR july 1 FRom picabo angleR

Green Drake madness continues throughout the Sun Valley area. Valley-wide, we are seeing great hatches and spinner falls of the Green Drake. On the Big Wood, expect to see the Drake hatching strong mid-Valley with a push up into Ketchum and north by week’s end. The timing of the hatch this year is generally 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. The Drake loves to hatch in the heat of the day, and with all the “extra” heat this summer, the hatch has moved to an earlier time. Normally 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. would be more like it. The Green Drake can also be found first thing in the morning, before the sun gets on the water. Look to fish the spinner fall of Drakes over very fast, choppy water. One of the best techniques for fishing the spinner fall is to drown your dry fly at the bottom of the heavy water where you see them flying. Fish it with an indicator, or sight fish it, looking for the flash of the fish eating just under the surface. Anglers will also find Green Drakes on the Little Wood River and the Upper Lost River, as well as Silver Creek. On the Little Wood and the Big Lost, expect to see some bugs, but not like you would find on the Big Wood. Our favorite flies for this event on all the rivers except Silver Creek is the Colorado Green Drake and the Cripple. On Silver Creek, the Green Drake is brighter in color and the fish really prefer the Harrop patterns like the Last Chance Cripple or even a nice extended body fly. This is really a fun time of year, as we can finally rig up big, bushy dry flies and wet wade the rivers, searching for fish as we go. It is a brief amount of time that we can do this, so get out there every day this week, every evening after work, or whenever you can squeeze in a few moments on the rivers. The “other” hatch that is happening right now, and not being talked about as much as the Drake, is the Damsel Fly action. This has really been gaining momentum on the Creek the past few hot days and this action should last well into the summer. Coupled with the morning PMD, Callibaetis and the first few sightings of Tricos, the Creek is about to come into the summer season in all its glory, and with all its awesome challenges! Happy Fishing Everyone!

Cool Dogs!

BY FRAN JEWELL

esterday, it was 89 degrees F. on my car thermometer. There was a teenager on a skateboard with a dog following him on the bike path. The dog’s tongue was down to the ground and obviously struggling to keep up. The boy had a bottle of something, drinking it himself, but paying no attention to the dog. I can only imagine that dog’s paws after running on that hot pavement. And I can only wonder how hot the dog was when it got home... if it got home! We are an athletic, dog-loving, nature-loving community. We love nothing better than to take hikes, mountain bike rides, or run with our best friends. With the heat wave and the remaining summer now upon us, we must take special care to keep our dogs cool! When temperatures reach 85 degrees or above, the pavement can be a frying pan for your dog’s feet, reaching temperatures of 150 degrees! If you cannot walk barefoot on the pavement, your dog shouldn’t be either. Now imagine the blacktop temperature when the outside air temperature is 100!!! Dogs cool themselves through the pads on their feet and through panting. Their ability to cool themselves is greatly less than your ability to cool yourself. When their pads are hot, they simply cannot cool themselves and this becomes life threatening. Yes, LIFE THREATENING for your dog!

The Festival of San Fermín

BY ANA MARIA CUNEO

he Festival of San Fermín is observed annually in many Spanish cities, but it is in Pamplona where it turns into a nine-day party. The festival was an important part of the plot of Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises, and its lasting popularity has contributed to attracting tourists to the event – counting today, with well over a million travelers. Celebrations start on July 6 with the chupinazo, a pyrotechnic rocket that is set off from the balcony of city hall. On the following day, thousands of believers in procession accompany the statue of Saint Fermin, a martyr of the Catholic church who, according to legend, had been born in Pamplona. In honor of

the saint, there are parades of gigantes y cabezudos (ceremonial giants and carnival figures with big heads), exhibitions, dancing, bullfights, competitions, and a prestigious jai alai tournament. All these traditional events are known as Sanfermines. Between July 7 and July 14, everyone looks forward to “el encierro,” or the running of the bulls, a tradition that is over 600 years old. This is when thousands of people run through the streets in front of six bulls chosen for the afternoon bullfights. From the off-site corrals to the bullring, nine steers (castrated bulls) accompany and guide the fighting bulls. Rockets signal the moment when the herd is released and its later position. Meanwhile, the sound of the cowbells worn by the steers and

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

the bustle of the crowd fills the streets with frenetic energy. The run takes about 3 minutes but it is considered dangerous, as several people have died and thousands have been injured over the years. At midnight on July 14, participants gather at the town hall plaza, where they remove their traditional red handkerchiefs, light candles, and sing a song called Pobre de Mí (Poor Me). Fireworks mark the last official act but the party continues throughout the night. STUDENT’S CORNER In the English version, when quotation marks (“) are used, as in “el encierro,” any punctuation mark that follows is kept inside the quotation marks. In Spanish, it is left outside, as in “el encierro”.

The Advocates’ ETC

I Know That I Can Make A Difference

In the time I’ve had the privilege to be a part of this Advocates teen internship program, I have grown greatly as a person, not just as maturity happens over the years, but in character. I have learned what it truly means to be a caring and compassionate leader of my peers, youth, and in my own relationships. This violence-prevention internship has given me the tools to promote healthy relationships, abhor abusive behaviors, and look out for those I see in a potentially unhealthy, abusive relationship. Becoming more and more adamant about sharing what I’ve discovered through my involvement in The Advocates, I wholly intend to continue doing my best to improve my community, wherever life may take me. By learning what composes a healthy and compassionate relationship, I have become much more insightful. I’ve improved all my relationships and learned what to truly value, whether it be with my family, friends, or girlfriend. This new value I have for happy and wholesome relationships has even begun affect-

column

ing those around me. My friends hear constantly about my involvement and have found they appreciate it for themselves. It makes my parents proud, and my little brother and best friend has even sought to join the group himself. All of my relationships and those of many people I know have improved greatly. As a graduating senior in high school, my life is changing forever. I will soon be surrounded by a new community and new friends. However, I see this as an incredible opportunity to share my experiences in this violence-prevention internship with a new group of people. I have recently joined the Army Reserves; for the time, I will be going to college in order to mature myself as well as serve as an ambassador of the United States. I can picture myself using the tools I have learned through The Advocates to serve the good of my home country and wherever I may find myself. This is not the only new environment for me, though. I will also be attending Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. College campuses are

filled with horror stories of sexual violence and abuse of all kinds. I intend to do my best to combat these stereotypes and make my campus and those surrounding me feel safer and more caring. I am proud and confident of the path I have chosen to take. It is a feeling that I would urge all teens finding their own way to seek. My advice or challenge to those teens in the Valley would be to do whatever they can to love themselves and those around them, join groups and pursue knowledge that calls to them and, when it all ends, to know that they made a positive impact in at least one person’s life, if not the whole community. This article was written by Wood River High School senior Zac Swanson, a member of the ETC (Every Teen has a Choice) teen interns for The Advocates, a Hailey-based nonprofit whose mission is to teach people of all ages how to build and maintain healthy relationships.

Josh Fields With Wood River Fire & Rescue BY KRISTY HEITZMAN

osh Fields will tell you he missed his calling. He always intended to go to medical school but life got in the way. Fields comes from a family background of medical professionals ~ his father and grandfather ~ so it is no surprise that he is an EMT and firefighter for Wood River Fire & Rescue. Fields is a man that lives two different lives; Monday through Friday you can find him at AmeriTitle in Ketchum. His employers are very flexible and know that it is important in a small town to allow committed volunteers like Josh to have the flexibility to respond to fire and EMT calls. Many people forget that so many of our firefighters are volunteers and that not only are they committed to helping our community,

active art

but so are their employers, families and friends. There are only three full-time firefighters at Wood River Fire & Rescue per shift, as well as at the Ketchum Fire Department. Josh reminded me that they never know when the call will come in to respond to a fire; it could be while he’s at the movies with his girlfriend, or at a family event. We need to not only thank the men and women committed to being there for our community, but those that support them ~ family, employers and friends. Josh would not have it any other way. He absolutely loves everything about being a firefighter. He enjoys the challenges of the extensive training. He explained to me that since we live in a small community and are fortunate that we do not have as many incidents as in a large city, it is imperative that the firefighters keep

their skills sharp and that they train frequently. You never know what the next call could be; then comes the day when they get the page to go to a fast-water rescue and the drills that they practice come into play. Josh Fields is a busy man. Not only does he volunteer with Wood River Fire & Rescue, he is also active in Ketchum Rotary and the Kids Mountain Foundation, where they give scholarships to local children in the Valley to participate in outdoor camps and activities throughout the year. Josh loves to give back to the community that he calls home. He jokes and says that they will probably have to kick him off of Wood River Fire & Rescue when the day comes that he is more of a liability than a help. Lucky for us, that will be a long, long time from now.

Building a More Resilient Community BY AIMÉE CHRISTENSEN

id you know… 95 percent of the Wood River Valley’s food comes from outside the Valley? We send $80 million per year out of the Wood River Valley to pay for energy? This month, senior water rights holders have made a call on access to water from both the cities and junior water rights holders. The Wood River Valley is facing significant threats to our economy and quality of life, but there is also a great opportunity for our community to mobilize local investments in our local resources, including food and energy, to benefit our economy and build a model for others. Leaders in the Wood River Valley founded the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience in the spring of 2015 to ensure the prosperity of this special place for future generations of residents and visitors alike, and to serve as a resource for communities everywhere. Increasing the availability of locally produced energy and food, incenting sustainable water use, and investing in critical infrastructure, such as for communications and healthcare, will strengthen the resilience of our Valley’s economy and improve our quality of life. The first annual Sun Valley Forum brings together global and local resilience leaders to inspire, inform and take action. Senator Cory A. Booker will open the Forum with a keynote address, sharing his insights on resilience from his experience as U.S. senator and as mayor of Newark, N.J., including rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy and catalyzing an economic resurgence in Newark. Join us for a great conversation with our speakers, including Nancy Kete of The Rockefeller Foundation; Raul Pomares of Sonen Capital; Marco Krapels of Solar City; Brooks Preston of Overseas Private Investment Corporation; Al Uzielli of Ford Motor Company; Brent Stacey of Idaho National Laboratory; Dan Carol of West Coast Infrastructure Exchange; Jeff Goodell, author of Big Coal and contributing editor at Rolling Stone Magazine; and Michael Shuman, author of Local Dollars, Local Sense. Aimée Christensen is co-founder and executive director of Sun Valley Institute for Resilience, as well as founder/ CEO of Christensen Global Strategies. Aimée collaborates with industries, governments, organizations and individuals worldwide to develop solutions for a strong, clean global economy, healthy communities and protection of our natural resources.

Richness Of Brown

BY LESLIE REGO

love the woods, and the deeper, darker and more mysterious, the more I become infatuated. Walking along a trail laden with pine needles, feeling the soft give and take of the needles beneath my feet and looking up and seeing more pine needles attached to branches gently swaying in the breeze, is a transformative experience. When I walk through a forest, I see a myriad of different shades of brown – some complex and rich, others light and airy. And then there is the trail itself – a series of dappled browns in all hues, tints, tones and shades. As I walk, I like to brainstorm all of the brown color names I can think of and it is amazing how many refer to nature: sienna, umber, ochre, sand, russet,

ginger, copper, topaz, fawn, beaver (a deep dark rich chocolatey brown), which brings me to chocolate, cocoa and coffee. Then there are the tree names: oak, mahogany, hazel, walnut and chestnut. The list goes on and on in my head and, as I look around, I can see all of these colors reflected in the different types of bark on the various trees and on the ground. Many browns are made directly from the soil. Raw sienna originally came from the ground around Siena in Tuscany, Italy. It is rich in iron oxide and was mined during the Renaissance. The natural earth color is quite yellow, and when it is roasted, it becomes a deeper red color and is known by the name burnt sienna. Umber includes other natural pigments that originally came

from the area of Umbria in Italy. The color varies depending upon the amount of iron oxide and manganese in the clay. When heated, it becomes a deeper red/ brown and is know as burnt umber. Curious, I decided to experiment and collect some of my own earth to see if I could paint with it. I tried to choose only the earth that appeared clay-like. Could I make a paint? It turns out that I created more of a stain rather than a full-blown watercolor pigment. After trying to load my paintbrush a few times, I decided to return to my tried-andtrue paints and inks!

Hip To Be Square: 2015 WRV Studio Tour Mosaic Project Unveiled BY LAUREL HOLLAND

Summertime in the Wood River Valley means farmers’ markets, live outdoor music concerts and, for the third year running, the Wood River Valley Studio Tour. This Friday, at the Sun Valley Visitor Center, the Wood River Valley Studio Tour will unveil a key component of its programming, the 2015 Mosaic Project. The project, a display of 70 8-inch-by-8-inch panels of artwork ranging from painting to steel sculpture to textile work, reflects the work of 59 local studios and 11 contributing artists. Inspired by similar studio tours that allocate smaller tiles on which artists are asked to design a piece of work, Suzanne Hazlett, WRVST co-founder and director, and fellow WRVST founder Brooke Bonner devised the 8-inch-by-8inch wooden panel idea to give participants the opportunity to more fully express and implement their media. “Something extraordinary happens when this seemingly disparate volume of artwork comes together,” Hazlett explained. “The collective mosaic is exquisite in its diversity.” Since its beginnings, the Mosaic Project continues to be the WRV Studio Tour’s largest source of revenue, netting over $10,000 in 2014 alone. Curated and installed by local artist Annie May, this year’s collection of panels will once again be auctioned online to benefit the Studio Tour. The brainchild of Hazlett, the WRV Studio Tour was established in late 2012 with the aim of celebrating local art and fostering a locus where both Valley residents and visitors, young and old alike, could come together to appreciate, experience and create art. Now in its third year, the Tour rose, literally, from the ashes: in its fledgling season, the Tour unhappily coincided with the devastating Beaver Creek Fire. That it succeeded regardless – and continues to blossom – is testament to both the vivacity of the local art scene and the vision of the Tour’s board of directors. As Hazlett sees it, the Tour is contingent upon the studios that participate. “Our success depends upon the collaboration and contribution of the artists themselves. Without their incredible investment – of time, of art, of physical space – we are nothing.” From Friday, July 3, through Sunday, July 12, the Mosaic Project can be viewed in person at the Sun Valley Visitor Center, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. From 5-8 p.m. daily, a WRVST docent will be onsite to greet viewers and provide information about both the Mosaic Project and the Wood River Valley Studio Tour. The Mosaic Project online auction opens Friday, July 3 and closes promptly on Sunday, July 12 at 5 p.m. To view the Mosaic Project, learn more about the artists or bid on a panel, visit wrvstudiotour.org. tws

movie review

“Love & Mercy” Good Vibrations

BY JONATHAN KANE

usic biopics have their own cliché formulas, but the new film about Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys – “Love & Mercy” – breaks the mold a bit. Featuring two excellent performances by Paul Dano as the younger Wilson and a slightly miscast John Cusack as the older, the movie places its focus firmly on the music and the genius of creation. Made with Wilson’s approval, in this case the genius is unequivocal as he transformed a surf-boy band cranking out the hits to making the groundbreaking and seminal recording Pet Sounds that influenced, among others, The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It’s the making of that record that gives the film its true pow-

photo art

er. The younger Wilson tired of the formula, and while he sent his band mates (all family) on the road, he constructed, in the studio, with the help of musicians known as The Wrecking Crew, his masterpiece. Dano’s performance is a marvel as we literally hear what he was hearing, much to the credit of director Bill Pohlad. Of course, when his band mates returned to lay down vocal tracks, the dissent and resentment was famously palpable – especially from cousin Mike Love. The other half of the film follows the older Wilson and his path to redemption with his current wife played excellently by Elizabeth Banks and her struggle with the controlling, abusive psychotherapist Eugene Landy that had taken over Wilson’s life for the worst. As Landy, Paul Gia-

matti exudes evil and watching his downfall is particularly appealing. The interesting creative choice of the film was having two actors split the role. Unlike the unabashedly bad makeup exhibited in another music bio, “Jersey Boys,” there is no need here for an aging technique. Each performance is separate, but they blend together into one whole. Even though “Love and Mercy” won’t rank as one of the best pictures of the year, it certainly does the job of entertainment during the mindless summer season. tws
