Dance On, Little Nightingale

Footlight Dance’s spring production BY YANNA LANTZ

ootlight Dance Centre will present an interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Nightingale,” Friday and Saturday, May 8-9 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 10 at 2 p.m. in the Wood River High School Performing

Arts Theater at the Community Campus, Hailey. Two hundred young dancers will take the stage. There has never been any music composed specifically for “The Nightingale,” so director Hilarie Neely has searched for traditional Chinese music that fits the storyline. The dance show

follows the plot of the classic fairytale and showcases young local talent. “When the Empress reads about this amazing nightingale that she’s never seen or heard, she sends out a crew to search the countryside to find it and bring it back to her,” Neely said. “This fairytale is very much

about life; people get caught up in possessions and they don’t see that there’s beauty around them ~ you don’t have to possess it.” The production will feature graduating seniors Liza Buell as the Nightingale and Lynnlea Strickland as the Empress. “They’re both very excit-

ed about this production,” Neely said. “They’re both amazing, strong dancers. Liza’s been dancing with us since she was in kindergarten. I did this production 12 years ago and she was a little frog. Now, she’s coming full circle as the lead.” Also featured are MaliCONTINUED ON PAGE 7

nexStage’s madcap musical BY YANNA LANTZ

exStage Theatre’s newest Theater for Young Audiences production, “Alice in Wonderland,” will open Friday, May 1 and run through Sunday, May 3. Kids ages 7-17 have reimagined Lewis Carroll’s story in “steampunk” fashion, alongside some kids at heart, and are excited to take the stage. What is steampunk? It’s a recent fashion trend and sci-fi/fantasy subgenre that incorporates Victorian elegance with industrial technology. “I like that the steampunk look is a reflection of the real period,” said Patsy Wygle, who co-directs the production with her husband, Keith Moore. “‘Alice in Wonderland’” is 150 years old this year!” Designers are often the unsung heroes of theatrical productions. Alison Higdon is the costume and set designer for nexStage’s new show. “When I was looking at the script, I thought it would be really cool to do a steampunk version because of the facet of time in the story,” Higdon said. “The gears and cogs in steampunk work well with that.” The cast starts the show in muted tones of grey, black and white. Key pieces that appear later in the show ~ including paintbrushes, roses and a timepiece ~ stand out in red. When Alice uncovers a new world in Wonderland, the world transitions into color. Both directors are thrilled at having a “full-blown artistic collaboration.” “The costumes are incredible!” Moore exclaimed. Higdon used recycled materials from around the community for many of the costumes and set pieces. Items from thrift stores, the locksmith and old upholstery scraps style the show. “I love the Tweedles,” Higdon said with a smile. “I took extra-large men’s muted yellow and red T-shirts

with a white edge and put a houndstooth brown-andblack-plaid collar with a little triangular scarf in the back. Then, I attached a hula-hoop and put on black suspenders.” Higdon was inspired by Tim Burton’s darker take on the classic adventure. “I felt like Alice didn’t need to necessarily be in blue because I wanted her to have a darker edge.” Higdon said. “The play’s pretty dark, so I think there needs to be a little more weight to Alice’s character; she’s treated horribly throughout.” The cast includes four times more Alice action than usual. Priya Merchant and Liv Nelson are double cast as Alice, while Sonnet Gripkey and Bella Martua both play Small Alice. Also featured are Evan Marks (White Rabbit), Paola Alvarado, Penelope Weekes and Skyler Yuengling (Cheshire Cats), Tara Burchmore (Matilda), John Lewis (Caterpillar), Courtney Loving (Duchess), Tony Barriatua (Dodo Bird/ White Knight), Joy Bond (White Queen), Tatum Fuller and Annabelle Lewis (Tweedle Dum/Tweedle Dee), Patsy Wygle (Mad Hatter), Mackenzie Ellison (March Hare), Max Albright (Dormouse), Keith Moore (Queen of Hearts), Wyatt Root (King of Hearts), Annabel Webster (Humpty Dumpty), Amanda Brown (Doorknob), Sam Fauth (Walrus), Jonathan Tatterson (Carpenter), Ella Boice, Mattie Embree, Lizzie Loving, Hayden Miller and Elena Vorm (Flowers), Bel Clayton, Trish Lewis, Logan Judd, Levie Smith and Nick Smith (Royal Cardsmen). Shows will take place May 1-2 at 7 p.m. and May 2-3 at 3 p.m. inside the nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St., Ketchum. Tickets are $15 students, $25 adults and an additional $10 for reserved seats.

he Idaho Press Club bestowed awards to several of The Weekly Sun’s writers and photographers during a ceremony on Saturday at The Owyhee Hotel in Boise. The annual awards banquet recognized works published or broadcast in 2014 by media organizations in Idaho ~ including TV, radio, online and print news sources and also publications and campaigns produced by public relations firms. The Idaho Press Club awarded Sun staff photographer Kat Smith second place in the “Feature Photography–Weekly Print” category for a photo titled “A Light In The Darkness.” The shot graced The Sun’s front page in its December 10 issue and features the holiday lights on the Broadway Bridge in Ketchum, located near the confluence of Warm Springs Creek and the Big Wood River, next to Rotary Park. Sun staff reporter Dick Dorworth and contributing photographer F. Alfredo Rego received second place in the “Series–Weekly Print” category for a series of news articles titled “Baldy’s Crown Jewels.” The series features Sun Valley Co.’s day lodges on Bald Mountain; the stories include information on their history and architecture by Dorworth and are illustrated visually by Rego’s photographs of the iconic structures. The Press Club also presented Dorworth with a second-place prize in the “General Column–Weekly Print” category for his column “Peaks & Valleys.” Through his opinion pieces, Dorworth offers his wisdom and viewpoints on the peaks and valleys of life’s journey, of human and local history and of getting the most out of living in the Wood River Valley area. Sun pet columnist Fran Jewell was treated with a second-place accolade in the “Specialty Column– Weekly Print” category for her column on positive dog training, titled “No Bones About It.” Jewell’s column advises on how to train dogs by focusing on employing the proverbial carrot as a more effective tool than the stick for promoting good behavior. Sun columnist JoEllen Collins won first place in the “General Column–Weekly Print” category for her column “On Life’s Terms.” In her pieces, Collins laughs along with life’s always changing terms and weaves personal anecdotes together with current events, buzzwords and hot topics to playfully philosophize on what it all means anyway.

WOOFing, or Willing Workers On Organic Farms, is organically and sustainably minded volunteering and educating, first envisioned in England in 1971. WWOOFers and hosts share life skills through farm and field experiences. Originally a weekend program for persons desperate to escape city life, WWOOFing has expanded to global proportions. Initially entitled Working Weekends On Organic Farms [also World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms], the program’s basic focus was relaxation through lifestyle exploration. Emerson College in Sussex was the setting for the first exploratory steps toward that goal; the organically minded consortium has not slowed its growth since. WWOOFing exists throughout the United States. Hosts are located via the Internet. In Idaho, host locations operate in the communities of Victor, Fairfield and Hailey. Contact with host sites is permitted only through online WWOOFing channels. Worldwide, WWOOFing exists in 99 countries. Of those, 43 boast internal systems specifically designed to support hosts and volunteers. Countries foregoing standardization instead interlink host homes that independently follow the guidelines set down by WWOOFing International. Each system, independent or collective, cooperates with international standards while retaining their ability to function autonomously. Each nation’s membership is joined separately. Once a member, the hopeful volunteer creates a profile, which introduces that person to prospective hosts. Hosts also create profiles, detailing themselves (and their location) for the benefit of potential volunteers. Contracted stays are decided through direct communication between volunteer and host. The length of stays range from weeks to months, or longer. The WWOOFing ethos has evolved with its size. The organic farming consortium terms itself “champions of the environment.” They believe that their work directly contributes to the formation of a wider, healthier, organic world. First-person contact with local growers is thought to be an effective way to initiate positive influence on both regional and nationwide policy shaping, as well as producing positive effects on consumer demand. Use of an open-forum approach allows hosts and volunteers to share agricultural knowledge with one another and the community at large through these ecological methods. WWOOFers volunteer as couples, solo travellers or family groups. Hosts offer a range of accommodations that include lodg-

ing in private residences or a shared space within the family home. Personal contact between volunteer and host facilitates the diffusion of cultural information. Working jointly for the betterment of the environment, there is equal opportunity to exchange languages, thoughts and local practices or customs. Each WWOOFing host follows his own schedule, so work hours and free time vary. International guidelines set down by the original organizing body call for an average of a six-hour work day on the part of the volunteer, with a five- or six-day work week. In return for their services, volunteers should expect adequate room and board. Volunteering through the WWOOFing organization involves physical labor; however, at its core, the arrangement is not intended as strictly work-related. Willing Workers On Organic Farms encourages hosts to act as local guides to their homelands, introducing volunteers to cultural or geographic aspects that make their region special. For volunteer and host, time spent working and learning together results in growth of new roots that enrich each other’s own life and benefits our world. Four key questions to consider prior to finalizing any hosting or volunteering agreement are: How many hours per day/ days of week will the volunteer be needed to work? What type of work will be expected of the volunteer during that time? What barriers (if any) exist (i.e., language or work-related skills)? And, finally, which amenities will be available for use by the volunteer during their stay (i.e., Internet or local transport)?

la Freeman (Mechanical Nightingale), Lemuel Reagan and Shea Slanetz (Prime Ministers), Koko Furlong (Kitchen Maiden) and Rylee Brown (Clock Maker). “The kids have really pushed themselves to the limit,” said Peter Burke, choreographer. “I’m really proud of them.” “I love watching the ensemble’s work,” Neely beamed. “I want to feel their energy and see how they finally become a cohesive unit. When that happens, I get chills.” Published in 1843, Andersen’s “The Nightingale” tells the story of a bird that sings so beautifully, the Empress orders the bird to be brought to her side so she may keep it. The Emperor of Japan sends an artificial bird made of precious jewels, more beautiful to look at, and the Empress becomes disenchanted with the real nightingale. Eventually, the mechanically bird breaks and Clock Maker is called. The fable observes the connections between possession, freedom and life. The production is cho-

reographed by instructors Christina Arpp, Adriana Bouiss, Burke, Julie Fox, Michele Minailo, Hilarie Neely, Leah Taylor, Anne Winton and guest choreographer Jaime Moore. “The collaboration with the choreographers is very exciting,” Neely said. “When I put a show together, I have to think about how we’re going to fit in hip-hop, tap, modern dance and ballet ~ which is the basis that glues it all together. Part of our goal is to connect every single dance form together in the storyline.” Throughout the year, Footlight brings dance programming to children ages four through high school. This production will be the culmination of this year’s work. All tickets are $6 and available in advance at Iconoclast Books in Ketchum and at the Footlight Dance studio at the Community Campus, Hailey. Pre-sold tickets are encouraged. “It’s a delight to see so much talent in one show,” Neely said. For more information, contact Hilarie Neely at 208-578-5462 or footlightdance@gmail.com. tws

Get muddy and celebrate

BY MARIA PREKEGES

Don’t let the competition get you down...

he City of Hailey is excited to invite the entire Valley to the fourth annual ArborFest and Mud Run on Saturday, May 9 at Hop Porter Park in Hailey. The Arbor Day festivities take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with the Mud Run starting at 1:30 p.m. All ages are welcome to this very fun, family-friendly event. The festivities are free to the public, with a nominal charge for the Mud Run. There will be plenty to do and see during the day. Participants can enjoy food booths and local vendors, face painting, a kid’s bouncy forest, free tree seedlings, as well as education on Arbor Day and the importance of trees in our community. There will be an Arbor Day Proclamation starting at noon, with live music from the Hurdy Gurdy Girls at 12:30 p.m. Smokey Bear will also be on hand throughout the day. Then, at 1:30 p.m., it’s the annual Mud Run. “A Mud Run is a race with the objective to conquer obstacles while getting muddy and having fun,” states the Hailey Chamber Website. “Our objective is clear (unlike mud): create a fun and challenging event to draw mud-loving extreme sports enthusiasts into our area with proceeds to benefit

trees and local businesses in Hailey.” The Mud Run is for ages 10 and up and consists of different obstacles like large tires, logs and, of course, mud. The course is set up around Hop Porter Park and all are encouraged to participate. Individuals, teams and families can sign up together. Costumes are highly encouraged. But do note that whatever you wear, it will most likely get muddy; hence the name of the event. Friends and family that aren’t competing are invited to cheer on the muddy participants. Registration is $5 and there will be prizes in a variety of categories. The Hailey Chamber of Commerce works with the City of Hailey to promote the event and lends their

Last year, there were around 350 people in attendance. And to watch the mud run is just a blast.” Many other people are involved in planning the festivities and helping out year-round with the trees in Hailey. “The Tree Committee should definitely be recognized,” stated Mariel Platt, director of public works for the City of Hailey. “They do a lot for the city and the trees within the city ~ both evaluating their health, identifying their value and helping creating programs and policies to promote tree health. They also help play a significant role in developing ArborFest. The Tree Committee is made up of Hailey citizens or those who work in Hailey, mostly in the tree industry.” For more information on Hailey’s ArborFest, contact the City of Hailey at 208-788-4221. Interested locals can sign up for the Mud Run in advance or on the day of the event. Other information can be found on the Hailey Chamber of Commerce Website at www. haileyidaho.com. tws

Walt Femling

Husband, father, skier, coach & Sun Valley police chief BY DICK DORWORTH

alt Femling is one of the better-known public servants of the Wood River Valley, having lived and worked in the criminal justice system here since

1979. Femling is 58 years old and has one younger brother and two younger sisters. He was born in Seattle but his family moved to Hawaii when he was a few weeks old, where they lived for five years. From there, they moved to Los Angeles and then to San Francisco, where Walt finished middle school. The family moved back to Seattle, where Walt finished high school and attended Washington State University, majoring in criminal justice. Walt’s father worked for the FBI, which necessitated the several moves and inspired Walt’s interest in criminal justice. The entire Femling family was involved in athletics, and in high school Walt skied and played baseball. After moving to the Wood River Valley, he was involved in sports for many years, playing rugby and coaching Little League baseball. Of course, he continued to ski and still does. In 1979, Walt was half a semester short of completing his university degree in criminal justice when he came to Sun Valley on spring break to ski with some buddies. The skiing was good and he liked it and he heard an ad on KSKI Radio that changed his life; the City of Ketchum was looking for a night shift cop for $5 an hour. Walt applied and got the job. For the next seven years he worked nights on the streets of Ketchum and days in construction and, of course, skied in winter. In 1980, Walt’s college girlfriend, Jenny, followed him to Sun Valley and they were married in 1982. They are the parents of a 28-year-old son, Brady, who lives in Hermosa Beach, Calif., and a 26-year-old daughter, Kacie, who lives in Boulder, Colo., both of them college graduates. Jenny works for Smith Optics in Ketchum. Walt is still half a semester short of finishing his university degree. Still, his credentials in and contribution to the criminal justice system of the Wood River Valley are substantial, widely recognized and deeply appreciated by the community. In 1987 he was elected sheriff of Blaine County, a position he held with distinction for 24 years, during which the population of the county more than doubled, bringing with it an attendant growth in traffic violations, crime, drugs and gangs. In 2011, Femling retired for health reasons, a decision he called “difficult.” In January 2013, his health had improved and he was appointed interim Sun Valley police chief, when Cam Daggett retired for medical reasons after 26 years in that position and 36 years in the department. In September of that same year, Mayor Dewayne Briscoe appointed Walt Sun Valley police chief with the unanimous support of the city council. Walt said he plans to stay in his job “as long as they want me.”

The Spot’s new season kicks off with a Tony Award-winning musical comedy that runs July 29-August 9. Courtesy photo

ID. DLR. 4591

The Spot announces season BY LAUREL HOLLAND

he Spot, the burgeoning theater company that staged Pulitzer Prize-winning “Next to Normal” in an industrial storage space in January, announced its Summer 2015 and Winter 2016 lineup today. The company’s season will be comprised of two fullscale productions, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” to run for 10 performances July 29-August 9, and Tony Kushner’s “Angels in America: Part I: Millennium Approaches,” slated for a nine-show run January 14-30, 2016. Known for its bold methodology and nontraditional theatrical space, The Spot is a performance arts collective founded by Peter Burke, Yanna Lantz, Brett Moellenberg and Kevin Wade in September 2014. Part conservatory, part performance venue, The Spot aims to be a locus for the local community to come together, incubate creativity and engage directly in making art. Following several rounds of local auditions earlier this spring, The Spot finalized its casting for Spelling Bee late last week. The ensemble, comprised of both local and visiting talent, will include Matt Gorby, Karen Nelsen, Wade, Megan Mahoney, Moellenberg,

Lantz, Tara Burchmore, Alec England and Sam Brown. “I’m excited that we were able to incorporate such talented local artists,” Moellenberg said. “It’s important to remember who lives here.” The Tony Award winner for Best Book in 2004, Spelling Bee centers on a fictional spelling bee set in Putnam Valley Middle School in which six quirky adolescents compete under the guidance of six equal-

ly eccentric grownups. A musical comedy that calls upon live audience members to participate on stage in several scenes, Spelling Bee takes an entertaining and honest look at the idiosyncrasies of small-town rivalry, how we respond to stereotypes and the funny ~ and not-so-funny ~ things we do under the pressure of competition. In January, The Spot crew will mount the first installment of Angels in America, universally acknowledged as one of the most import-

ant theatrical works of the 20th century. Set in New York City in the mid-1980s, Angels weaves together the lives of 10 deeply wounded characters struggling to make sense of their lives at the height of the AIDS crisis. Angels offers a deeply critical view of the way in which the Reagan Administration first handled the epidemic, and explores the internal dualities we all in some way battle ~ the line between fate and choice, between science and faith, between want and need. When asked about the choice to stage such topical and provocative subject matter, Burke explained. “Angels in America ties, arguably, directly to counter cultures of our local Valley ~ whether that be the LDS Church or homosexuality ~ so we thought it was time to talk a little about them,” Burke said. In addition to Spelling Bee and Angels, The Spot season will also feature a live weekly radio show in collaboration with local station KDPI and a series of staged readings of new work. Both will be announced in greater detail later this spring. To learn more about The Spot, sign up for classes or make a contribution, visit www.spotsunvalley.com. The Spot is located at 220 Lewis St. #2, Ketchum.

The albatross is nature’s poster child for soaring freely by remaining calm and collected. Courtesy photo

Take That Breath, Soar Effortlessly By Brennan Rego

he albatross is a super fly bird. To watch an albatross glide through the sky is to witness the apogee of elegance and grace. As a flying machine, the albatross is unmatched in its ability to soar efficiently for extended periods of time. “Albatrosses are miracles of nature’s engineering ~ their long, narrow wings enable them to glide for thousands of miles on wind currents without flapping their wings,” states an article titled “Fast Facts about Albatross” on the University of Southern California’s website. Albatrosses aren’t just naturally talented when it comes to gliding; they are quite wise, too. The secret to their efficient flight style comes from a special technique called “dynamic soaring.” At the intersection of the ocean and the air, the wind moves relatively slowly. Higher up, it moves more quickly. Albatrosses start their soaring pattern close to the waves, heading into the wind; that generates lift as the birds rise up toward increasingly faster wind speeds. Then, they turn away from the wind and descend with the wind at their back until they nearly reach the sea. Lastly, they turn toward the wind and start the pattern over again. The propulsive energy of the wind is just enough to overcome its drag during the upward climb, and the cycle can be repeated almost endlessly until the bird eventually does run out of energy and must recharge. When I worked as a river guide on the Middle and Main forks of the Salmon River, I was taught a similar approach to navigating the river’s currents in a raft. Wise guides don’t paddle more than they have to, just like albatrosses don’t flap their wings more than they absolutely must. The trick to negotiating a whitewater rapid is not to correct course constantly while already in the rapid ~ that leads to a cycle of overcorrection that is both inefficient and unsmooth. The trick is to look far downstream before you enter the rapid, choose your line ahead of time and, with a timely push or two on the oars, set yourself up for a smooth ride through the chute. Slack time in the Wood River Valley is the perfect time to reflect on the albatross’ flight style and on whitewater paddling technique. Slack can be relaxing in many ways, and is a great time to decompress. However, don’t forget to look downstream and line up your summer so you won’t be scrambling, flapping, and paddling your way through the season without having time to enjoy the view. Now’s the time to get everything set up so you can soar efficiently through the upcoming busy summer season. Slack can also be a stressful time for many community members since

A wise guide learns that negotiating whitewater is more about knowing how to paddle infrequently at just the right moment rather than flailing against the flow. Photo courtesy of Mackay Wilderness River Trips.

funds can be tight and jobs can be hard to get. If feeling stressed, remember the albatross and the river guide: take that breath (in through the nose, out through the mouth), look at what lies ahead and choose your line. All will be OK, just don’t flop around like a fish, or the albatross will eat you!

The Purge: Ants

The Future Face Of Money

BY YANNA LANTZ

ith the return of warm weather, the ants are back in full swing. I grew up with ants in my house every year on the East Coast, and I thought it was just a given that I’d have an extra hundred housemates come spring. This year, I’ve been putting my foot down ~ literally ~ on the ants. But, there are better ways to get these pesky pests gone for good. Step one: know thy enemy. One queen ant produces all the offspring for a colony. Ants are especially attracted to sweet things like honey and maple syrup. The average lifespan of an ant is about two months, and before they kick the bucket, they move fast. How fast? If humans could run as fast as an ant, we’d all beat Seabiscuit in a horse race. Relative to body length, we’re looking at approximately 34.6 mph. Step two: prevention. There are several methods for ousting ants. First off, clean, clean, clean. Food is what brings ants in, so eliminate all food or crumbs from surfaces and floors with a multipurpose cleaner, vinegar or vacuum. Make sure dirty dishes go directly in the dishwasher and keep the sink and drain tidy.

BY DICK DORWORTH

As far as ants are concerned, cinnamon is equivalent to Kryptonite. Sprinkle cinnamon around possible entryways and cracks where ants could enter. This will essentially give you an ant force field, because the ants will avoid cinnamon at all costs. Similarly, cucumber ~ especially shavings from the peel ~ works as an ant deterrent. Step three: search and destroy. Follow the ant trail to see where ants are coming from and what innovative entrances they’ve discovered. I’d recommend spraying the trail with mild bleach or a spray cleaner. A natural remedy for killing ants is cornmeal. After ants eat cornmeal and wash it down with water, the substance swells inside their organs and kills them. I recommend leaving some cornmeal out near known entrances with a dash of honey atop to attract the ants there. More common are ant traps by Raid, Terro or Hot Shot. These traps lure ants to take the poison bait inside, which they bring back to the queen and colony. Once the queen eats the bait, it’s game over for the ants. Don’t get alarmed when more ants arrive on the scene at first; you’ll see their numbers dwindle soon. Happy hunting!

The organization spearheading the move is called “Women on 20s” (W20) and the first thing one sees on their website is “W20: THE ELEMENTS OF EQUALITY.” “The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment that granted women the right to vote,” states the website. “So it seems fitting to commemorate that milestone by voting to elevate women to a place that is today reserved exclusively for the men who shaped American history. That place is on our paper money. And that new portrait can become a symbol of greater changes to come. “Let’s make the names of female ‘disrupters’ ~ the ones who led the way and dared to think differently ~ as well-known as their male counterparts. In the process, maybe it will get a little easier to see the way to full political, social and economic equality for women. And hopefully it won’t take another century to realize the motto inscribed on our money: E pluribus unum, or ‘Out of many, one.’” W20 started with a large list of American women who have contributed significantly to America’s history, culture and morality. More than a quarter million people voted for their favorite candidates until the list is down to four candidates: Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), Harriet Tubman (1822-1913), Rosa Parks (1913-2005) and Wilma Mankiller (1945-2010). Everyone is welcome to vote for one of the four candidates to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 simply by going to the W20 website. You can also find compelling reasons why Jackson, who is generally viewed by Native American people and nicknamed “Indian Killer” as the very worst of all U.S. Presidents, should be replaced. When a winner is determined, W20 will petition President Obama, who has said “…it is a pretty good idea to put more images of women on U.S. currency.” Go to W20 and cast your vote. I voted for Rosa Parks for many reasons including remembering when she finally had enough of inequality and took a stand, or, rather, kept her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus and later said of herself, “I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free…so other people would also be free.” Me, too.

Riley Boice

Oregon Short Line BY TONY TAYLOR

Girl Power

BY JONATHAN KANE

iley Boice, a Sage School junior, is passionate about women’s rights and soccer and throws herself full throttle into both. Born and raised in the Wood River Valley, Boice lives in a house in Hailey that she moved into with her family at the age of six. “It’s [the Wood River Valley] a really cool and awesome place to grow up in,” she said. “You get to grow up with the same people you knew since kindergarten and you get to develop special relationships with the people around you. Of course, there are downsides. Often we get caught up in our little bubble here and because we’re not exposed to a lot of diversity, it can breed ignorance a little bit. Also, everyone knows who you are and what you are doing, which can be difficult at times.” For recreation, Boice skis a little bit “by default” and plays soccer, but she says she mostly works. That’s because she is responsible for paying for part of her tuition at The Sage School. Right now she works at Madeline + Oliver in Ketchum and she used to work at Hailey Coffee Company. “I was doing well at Wood River Middle School, and originally I didn’t want The Sage School,” she explained. “My mom conned me into going to their first open house and I went in sure that that I wouldn’t leave Wood River. To my shock, I realized that’s how I wanted to learn ~ to be excited and vested in my education. We got a sense Riley Boice is a women’s rights proponent and Sage School junior. Phoof what our day would look to by Abigail Barton like in a four-hour session. It was such a radical difference. We asked questions that made us think. In the public school, you are herded from class to class and it’s so impersonal. “At The Sage School you have the opportunity to have close personal relationships with your teachers and peers and you receive information that’s both pertinent and important to your life,” Boice said. “I was in their first year, so originally I signed up as a guinea pig. My parents said that to be fully vested I needed to pay part of my tuition and to be involved. The school has given me the incredible opportunity to pursue learning things that are super important to me, like women’s rights. It’s a project-based education, which gives you a lot of chances to take writing projects, and shift to what interests you. It’s given me time to study and develop views on women’s rights.” Boice’s inspiration came from hearing a TED Talk about women and leadership. “I thought the speech was a fascinating way to look at oppression that women face and oppression that we put on ourselves,” she said. “It showed ways we can overcome social norms and gender identification. At Sage, we are given the second half of Friday to do independent study. This year I have been preparing for my senior project by reading material on women’s rights and by interning at the Family of Woman Film Festival. My project will be on girls and leadership in the Valley and beyond. Women’s leadership needs a lot of help. Culturally, women are taught to be passive and we need to examine that paradigm and transcend the gender roles we have been assigned.”

daho & Oregon Land Improvement was a holding company that morphed from revenue generated by other ill-fated rail companies. If you knew “anybody” that worked at IOLI, the fix was in! Cousins of cousins and uncles from the far side of the family showed up at the pay window, but never came to work. Graft was rampant and openly discussed. Overcharge was the rule, especially among the families who rode both lines frequently and took full advantage of executive privilege for free layover hotel rooms and carte blanche in all the dining cars. James Kyner, a contractor, later recalled that the terrain was rocky, the water was often scarce and that the contractors often found themselves in a highcost situation. “I was told later that the building of the Oregon Short Line cost $3 million more than the construction company paid for it,” Kyner said. Grenvolle Dodge, chief engineer for Union Pacific in 1868, was unimpressed with the cost overruns. Dodge said he always thought the “mission” of Union Pacific Railroad was not fulfilled until it built this branch to the Pacific Ocean. He was one

of many voices calling for the federal government and responsible investors to finish the branch systems in a slow-growing national rail network. Both men knew that the Valley of the Snake had easy grades and that the existing Union Pacific track was well established in eastern Oregon. Union Pacific saw the need for transcontinental status and a way to unlock the rocks in the Wood River Valley and existing mining regions served by Oregon Steam Navigation Company, soon to be Oregon Short Line and soon to change again as 10 years slipped by with little progress. “We don’t anticipate any large portion of our sagebrush lands will be reduced until we get a railroad.” Sidney Dillon could only hope for the best and tend to the Oregon Short Line. He sold shares and developed his rail stocks, even though investors showed little interest. Dillon insisted to his peers as well as the general public that the rails were coming, but consolidation would need enough capital to provide a large cash infusion and enough local interest to quickly complete the entire project. The year 1881 was a slow and disappointing one for most investors ... less than 50 miles of track were built by the Idaho &

Oregon Land Improvement Co. However, the next year, the Oregon Short Line built 321 miles, and in 1883, another 420 miles. The Oregon Short Line now had 800 miles of clear track that started in Shoshone and went on up to the Wood River Valley and terminated in Wyoming at Granger Junction, where they were switched onto the main line. OSL had become transcontinental. Galena ore and agricultural products were shipped out and building supplies and perishables were railed in. While the OSL was to have financial problems and the people it served would have occasion to grumble, this road had two advantages. Its connection with Portland and the sea meant it went somewhere, as opposed to dead-ending in a speculative mountain mining camp. It also passed through a country whose only resource was not mineral ~ tourism and sightseeing developed quickly and supported this local industry that survives today. Who would have imagined, then, the legacy of the Wood River Trails bike path today? History never sleeps. Tony Taylor is a longtime Hailey resident and local history buff. He enjoys skiing on soft snow and training horses in his free time.

Cari’s Hair Care

BY MIKE MCKENNA

hen you think about it, it’s a pretty simple dynamic: when we look good, we feel good. And if we get to spend a little time getting pampered during the process, all the better. That’s pretty much the philosophy behind one of Hailey’s longest-running sole proprietorships ~ and longest tenured members of the Hailey Chamber of Commerce ~ Cari’s Hair Care and Day Spa. “People can come in feeling depressed and down, but when they leave, they feel good about themselves,” said Cari Larsen, owner. “At least that’s what we’re always hoping for. You want people to feel special. Life can be busy and hectic. That’s their time in the chair. You want them to enjoy themselves, and you want them to come back.” Folks have been coming back to Cari’s for a long time. Some of her clients have been with Cari since she first started her own business, working out of her house in 1975. In 1977, Cari made what was then considered a risky move; she opened a commercial space in an old home on North Main Street. “It was several blocks

up from the main business corridor and people thought I would never make it,” she said. “I was there for 36 years,” Cari proudly declared about a building that she did a couple major additions to and which now houses Wood River Dental. That section of Main Street is now full of successful businesses, while Cari’s Hair Care has moved across the street to Centennial Station.

with coloring done at home or from another salon that isn’t exactly what they were hoping for. “We can pretty much fix anything, so long as the hair is still on the head,” Cari joked. Cari said that one of the big keys to her longevity has been her great staff: Krystal, Stacey and Mona, and Shirley ~ who has been working with Cari for more than 20 years. “You’ve really got to enjoy connecting with people and making them feel good about who they are,” Cari said. “And we try to do that. The industry has changed over the years, but it’s still about loyalty and friendship.”

‘The Wrecking Crew’ BY JONATHAN KANE

The Beat Goes On

ehind-the-scenes movies, chronicling how some of the great sounds of our day were made, seem to be all the rage these days. With the new film “The Wrecking Crew” (actually made in the 1990s but held up by acquiring all the rights), we have the story of a couple of dozen musicians in Los Angeles in the ‘60s and ‘70s that anonymously drove most of the great hits of the day. These artists were called the Wrecking Crew because the older vanguard of studio musicians in suits, skinny ties and trained in jazz felt they would wreck the business. But for this group that

wanted to work and support their families, rock and roll was certainly not beneath them. The list of artists they played for is indeed amazing, stretching from Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley to The Byrds, Sonny and Cher, Phil Spector, The Mamas and The Papas, The Monkees and, on one of the most important albums in the history rock and roll ~ The Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds.” In fact, the interviews with the album’s architect, Brian Wilson, make up some of the most compelling in the movie. For Wilson, it was

all about talent, and the Wrecking Crew could do it at a level that no one else could. The film is a labor of love. It is directed by Denny Tedesco as a tribute to his father Tommy, now deceased, who was the ace guitarist of the Crew. The heart of the film is a round table discussion with some of the musicians, swapping war stories mixed in with archival footage and interviews with the artists who were lucky enough to record with them. Not as good as the documentary “Muscle Shoals,” the movie still is a testament to a time in the music business that was tws solid gold.

Socializing is much more than letting your pup play and meet other dogs. Courtesy photo

What Does ‘Socializing’ Your Dog Mean? BY FRAN JEWELL

hen we think of socializing our puppy or new adult dog, we think of letting them have free time, playing, chasing and being with other dogs so our puppy or dog grows up to like other dogs. “Socialization” is MUCH more than that! Socialization means experiencing ALL things in life. It also sets the stage for teaching your new dog or puppy to TRUST you. Virtually any new experience you give a dog teaches them about life. Each ride in the car is a new experience that can be enhanced by getting out of the car, even for five minutes, to explore, smell and hear new things, even if other dogs and people are not involved. BUT, while doing so, this is also your opportunity to teach your new canine to look to you for security. New experiences might be scary to a new pup or dog. If he knows how to focus on you when he gets nervous, now your relationship becomes boundless. If every time your new puppy turns and looks at you instead of something he is afraid of, and then he is rewarded with praise or a small treat, pretty soon things that seem scary are not scary anymore. This is a HUGE way for dogs to learn confidence in new situations. They look to YOU for leadership and direction. This is the building block of TRUST in your relationship with your dog. Safety is a huge factor in socialization. If a dog is off leash, it can be easy for him to

bolt from something he is afraid of. Bolting might not be toward YOU, but toward the woods where a predatory animal waits, or into the street. Many people think leashes are evil things, but instead, I think of them as a way to “connect” with your dog. The best leash to start with is a long line ~ 20 to 50 feet, depending on the size of your dog. This allows him to explore and meet new experiences in life safely, with control. You can shorten the line by grabbing it closer to the dog if you need him to be closer to you. It’s two in one; a long line can become a short leash in seconds. Thinking out of the box for new experiences can be great fun. Have a puppy party at your house for your friends to come meet your pup. But, teach the pup that sitting for new people at the door gets them lots of good things. During conversations, teach your pup to lie nicely next to you on the floor instead of jumping all over someone. It’s great fun if your pup is getting lots of goodies for his hard work. In short, socializing is so much more than letting your pup play and meet other dogs. It can be the perfect time for your pup to build trust in you, instead of obsession with other dogs.

this. The antibiotics given to fight infection can cause a life-threatening diarrhea via an especially nasty bacterium called Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, for short. Every year in the United States alone there are 250,000 new C. diff infections requiring hospitalization and 14,000 deaths according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So how does this occur? Antibiotics do not target only one specific “bad” bacteria for which they are prescribed. Any woman who has had a “yeast” infection, courtesy of antibiotic use, already knows this. Antibiotics also kill the good “flora” that aid in digestion in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. What makes C. diff such a formidable foe is that it releases exotoxins. This essentially means that within the GI tract, the exotoxins kill surrounding healthy cells and set up altered conditions, allowing the C. diff to colonize very quickly. Symptoms include severe, watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping, bloating, pain and possibly fever. In severe cases, colitis and toxic shock can develop. Death occurs due to dehydration or organ failure. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of an aggressive new strain of C. diff over the past decade. Treatment Normally, believe it or not, another antibiotic such as Flagyl or Vancomycin

is prescribed with the goal being to specifically kill the C. diff bacterium. One problem with antibiotics used to treat primary C. diff infection is that the infection returns in about 25 percent of patients. In a small number of these patients, the infection returns over and over again and can be quite debilitating. Transplanting stool from a healthy person to the colon of a patient with repeat C. diff infections has been shown to successfully treat it. Yuck factor aside, these “fecal transplants” appear to be the most effective method for helping patients with repeat C. diff infections. This procedure may not be widely available and its long-term safety has not been established. C. diff is an anaerobic bacterium [that is, occurring in the absence of oxygen] and, therefore, another option to kill it is to use a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which a person breathes 100 percent oxygen while under increased pressure. Basically, the patient is breathing oxygen at levels far greater than what is found at normal room atmosphere. The oxygen provided by HBOT would normally be used to deliver more life-sustaining oxygen to tissues and organs to accelerate the body’s healing processes. However, anaerobic bacterium can’t live in the presence of all this oxygen and die quickly. Prevention So, what should you do if you and your doctor agree that antibiotics are absolutely necessary for the treatment of an infection? Prevention of C. diff is by

far the best policy. Immediately begin by taking a probiotic that specifically contains Saccharomyces Boulardii (Floristor is a good one) because it cannot be killed by antibiotics. Drink kombucha as it also contains Saccharomyces Boulardii, which is the most researched as well as the most used probiotic in hospitals. Include kefir (rather than yogurt) and other fermented foods in your daily diet while on antibiotic therapy. Many people do not begin to present with symptoms of C. diff until they have finished the course of antibiotics, so continuing this regimen for an additional 14 days affords the best protection. Be aware that C. diff is highly contagious and is also transmitted from person to person by the fecal-oral route. The organism forms heat-resistant spores that are not killed by alcohol-based hand cleansers, which is why I (politely) insist that my healthcare professional use soap and water. Routine surface cleaning is also ineffective; thus, these spores survive for long periods of time. Once spores are ingested, their acid resistance allows them to pass through the stomach unscathed. Bleach wipes containing 0.55 percent sodium hypochlorite have been shown to kill the spores and prevent transmission between people. Also, installing lidded toilets and closing the lid prior to flushing also reduces the risk of contamination. Knowledge is power. Educate yourself and share this information with others. It can save a life.

The emergency telecommunicator (also known as a dispatcher or 911 operator) is the first person on the scene of every crime, fire or medical emergency that begins with a 911 call. The staff of Blaine County Emergency Communications Center are nationally certified as Public Safety Telecommunicators and Advanced Emergency Medical dispatchers. The 911 telecommunicator is a true first responder ~ on the scene within milliseconds, by phone, providing medical information and pre-arrival instructions. The actions taken by the dispatcher while emergency responders are en route to the scene can make a tremendous difference in assisting victims, protecting emergency responders and saving lives. Dispatchers are the lifeline to terrified, angry, or injured persons and to the police, fire and EMS personnel responding to the calls. They are the calm, competent voices on the line 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They are expected to always be ready to gather pertinent information using their skills to extract this information from distressed callers and to calmly provide all that information to the responders, without error the first time,

6177 kudos & sass Kudos to Atkinsons for being a local grocer provider for more than 59-years! They’ve been around since 1956! Sass to cold food. You will never taste as good the second time ☹ Kudos to Google Maps for being hilarious. Until recently, an Android robot could be seen peeing on an Apple logo ~ in the shape of a park ~ when you looked up Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Sass to the officers that arrested Freddie Gray of Baltimore, MD. Kudos to the 69th Tony Awards hosts, Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming!

The Wood RiveR valley 7-day WeaTheR FoRecasT is bRoughT To you by:

age, Tow Package, 170000 Miles, Interior Seats & Carpet are in really good condition, the Back Speakers need to be replaced, the Rear Cup Holders are broken, CD Player, ABS Breaks, Air Conditioning, Power Steering. The tires are only 3 years old and are only used in the summer as I have studded tires for the winter. This van in good condition sells for $19,618 but it has been rolled onto its side so it needs $10,000 worth of body damage and that is why I’m only selling it for $8,500 OBO.
