Eclipse blankets northern valley in daytime darkness

or Salt Lake City resident Michael Chardack, 98 percent of a solar eclipse wasn’t good enough.

That’s why Chardack and his son, Andy, trekked to a spot on Dollar Mountain in Sun Valley on Monday morning to view the total solar eclipse.

The Chardacks drove up from Salt Lake City over the weekend, joining thousands of other visitors that came to the Wood River Valley and Sawtooth Valley to see the rare celestial event.

The crowds were a fraction of the mass influx that was predicted, but that didn’t seem to bother the visitors and residents who turned out to watch.

The total solar eclipse started shortly after 11:29 a.m. Monday, and turned a bright, summer day into near darkness throughout the northern Wood River Valley.

The air temperatures started dropping in the run-up to totality, and as the sunlight dimmed, the atmosphere resembled twilight.

Finally, the moon passed completely in front of the sun, casting a shadow that traveled from the western coast of Oregon, across central Idaho and over the Midwest until it reached the coast of South Carolina.

On Dollar Mountain, a crowd of onlookers howled like coyotes as totality approached, and cheered when the last bit of sun was finally blocked out.

To the Mayor and members of the Hailey City Council, After sitting on this for more than 4 weeks and discussing last Monday’s “hearing” with my many neighbors who were also in attendance, I feel that I must comment on what took place.

Although touted as a “hearing” we all feel it was anything but. It was clearly evident that the issue had already been decided and that the meeting was strictly perfunctory. It was very obvious to all of us by the Mayor’s demeanor and handling of people’s comments that the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

Since I had assumed that the process and this hearing precluded a quick decision, I had approached my neighbors to get their opinions and to seek their support. In a little over a week, I procured 157 signatures in opposition to the annexation and the ensuing over-development of the Colorado Gulch lot. Of all the people to whom I spoke, only five people refused to sign.

One was a developer, two were former mayors, one of whom was against the annexation but thought it inappropriate to sign, and two were landowners who are being included in the annexation.

Mr. William Miles, I may point out, who is being forced into annexation, Paid advertisement

was very much opposed, was in attendance and had signed the petition. He tried to speak but was summarily cut off by the Mayor, who shocked everyone with his abrupt dismissal and cruel treatment of the elderly Mr. Miles. We were equally shocked and disgusted by the Mayor’s treatment of Hank Blanco, who simply asked for a show of hands and was resoundingly shut down by the Mayor’s sharp ‘NO!” More proof this was not a true “hearing” and the process was more despotic than democratic. There were so many people who showed up in opposition to this that half could not get up the stairs and into the room. Did you know that? Didn’t matter, though, did it? The outcome had already been decided....

While I understand that there had been prior meetings, many of the people who attended this one and many among those who had signed the petition had no or very little previous knowledge of this annexation as the city is only required to notify residents within 300 feet of the proposed project.

Despite the fact that it affects everyone on Broadford Road, everyone in Della View and, in fact, many others in both Hailey and Blaine county, the city does not personally let the residents know.

They rely on obscure “public notification” and info on the city’s website which everyone agrees is impossible to navigate. When the residents did find out what was in the offing, they reacted and expressed their opposition in the petition and at the not-so-legitimate ‘hearing’ last Monday. They were shot

down, cut off and resoundingly ignored. Why even have a “hearing” if it is too late to express your views or influence the outcome?

On a personal note, while I certainly heard the developers’ and the Mayor’s comment on my “last-minute” opposition, may I point out that upon notification by the city that this was happening, I wrote several letters to Lisa Horowitz and Robyn Davis as far back as March 13. I was told by Lisa that she would distribute them to the appropriate parties and enter them into the records. One of the reasons I launched the “last-minute” effort was because I heard from a friend that Lisa had said there was no opposition to this project. I know she received my letters so what happened to them??

I also wrote a letter to the paper which was published almost in it’s entirety well in advance to last Monday’s hearing. I was chastised for not being at previous meetings but when I tried to offer my explanation, I was summarily shut down by the Mayor. Just as a matter of clarification, I was not at prior meetings for two reasons: One, prior to March, I had not been notified by the city and two, until June 30, I was in Florida caring for my father and my fiance both of whom recently passed away.

Their lives and deaths took priority.

I have no idea why the Mayor and two of his council members are so in favor of this annexation and development. Aside from destroying the serenity and rural feel of Broadford Road,

displacing wildlife and making the road unsafe for bikers, riders and runners, the traffic, despite the so-called study, is indeed an issue. It is already an issue and a stripe is not going to alleviate anything. Evacuation is an issue, especially with so much livestock. The development will stress the city’s budget, stress the city’s sewer system and because there is so much developable land currently in Hailey, it will lower property values. It has been proven that these developments do not pay for themselves and it will be years, if ever, before the tax basis is sufficient to cover the cost. So what it this? A power play?

A land grab? Or something none of the residents outside the Mayor’s office know about?

My neighbors and I are baffled, disappointed and disgusted by this project and this process. I was told many times by many people that the Mayor was a bully but was inclined to disbelieve it until I saw him in action last Monday. His attitude was arrogant, entitled and almost as dismissive of his council members as he was of his constituents. It may behoove the Mayor to remember he is an elected official, and he is there not only to represent his constituency but to respect them, what they have to say and what they want.

This meeting was a sham and this process a travesty. It is for reasons like this that Americans are losing faith in their system and in their government.

Eclipse Impact Sunrise: 6:51 a.m. Sunset: 8:28 p.m. quote of the week

Solar eclipse wows crowd on Baldy Clear skies, ‘mellow’ crowds at Lookout summit of ski mountain

he first cars rolled into River Run before 6 a.m. and waited to watch the sun rise over the Pioneer Mountains.

Hours later, they’d see it disappear, as they watched with the rest of the crowd who watched the total solar eclipse from the top of Bald Mountain, above Ketchum.

At the earliest signs of light, hikers started up the slope, arriving at Lookout restaurant around 8:30 a.m., right as the initial passholders got off the Christmas chairlift.

By 9 a.m., the first neon orange glasses of champagne were filled.

About 2,000 people massed on Baldy on Monday, Sun Valley spokesman Mike Fitzpatrick estimated. Eleven-hundred of them bought tickets to ride resort lifts, while the rest hiked and biked to the top.

“This is like the mellowest powder day ever on Baldy,” said a Sun Valley staffer, watching the crowd spread out along the ridge between Christmas and Mayday bowls. There was no rush, no rope drop. Instead, people spread out blankets, set up cameras, grabbed a beer.

At 10:15 a.m., as the moon began to take its first earnest bite out of the sun, Tom Charouhas was walking barefoot at the top of Christmas Ridge.

Fresh off a three-hour hike, the science teacher from Kirkland, Wash., couldn’t sit still.

“I’ve taught eclipses for 30 years,” said Charouhas, who teaches at Rose Hill Middle

People watch the solar eclipse from the summit of Bald Mountain on Monday. Around 2,000 people made the trip up Baldy to watch the eclipse, according to Sun Valley spokesman Mike Fitzpatrick.

School in Redmond. “For the last five, I told all my students that I knew where I would be on Aug. 21, 2017. This is the real deal. I’m fulfilling a lifelong dream.”

He wasn’t alone.

“I’ve been waiting for this day since I was born,” said Chiloé Spelius, a recent Community School graduate and an “aspiring planetary geologist.”

“It’s destiny,” she said.

For an aspiring planetary geologist, there may have been no better place to be. Fullfledged planetary geologists were watching the sun alongside everyone else. So were representatives from NASA, the American Astronomical Society and universities in China, Europe and across the U.S. “It’s a big event,” said Ryan Farber, a graduate student in astrophysics at the University of Michigan. “For a minute, we’re all equal. We’re all here, on Earth, looking up at the same thing.”

That’s what Dr. Andre Potochnik woke up before 5 a.m. to see. A geologist from Flagstaff, Ariz., he’s helping to lead a group of three tour buses from Boise through to Jackson.

The eclipse, he said, is the hallmark of the trip.

“So many lives are going to be somehow affected, some maybe even changed,” he said. “To have the lights go out midday—it gets everyone to look up for a minute, instead of down at their feet.”

By 11:15 a.m., most already were. People settled in, waited.

The soft drone of the lifts bled over hushed conversations, broken only by a spike of cheers as ABC News went live from Lookout.

“We’re approaching crescent!” someone shouted. Carly Simon spilled from a portable speaker: “Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia/To see the total eclipse of the sun.”

The crescent shrunk to a sliver, then to a wry smile

where the sun should be. A flock of sparrows scrambled and settled in the brush below. In the terminal of the Challenger chair, moths sparked to life in the mounting twilight.

Jackets came on. Paragliders took off. The soft light of morning deepened to an amber glow. And then overhead, where everyone was looking, the lights went out.

Nearby, Karen Alpert’s eyes welled with tears.

“It’s the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen,” she said.

“I can’t even find the words.”

A minute passed, and down through the valley dawn broke for a second time. Next to the Lookout lift, a band kicked up.

The opening riff of Bill Withers’ “Use Me” slinked out of the PA. People filed back down the ridge, down to the lifts, to the trails, back down into morning.

“This is once in a lifetime, you may never see anything like this again,” Alpert said.

“And then it’s over.”

Businesses suffer amid fewer visitors than expected

By JOSHUA MURDOCK Express Staff Writer

Businesses and locals in Stanley were prepared for an anticipated influx of eclipse tourists beyond anything the town had seen, but on Monday, locals were grappling with what many described as an unequivocally underwhelming weekend.

A few business owners in Stanley have a new name for Monday’s eclipse, and it can’t be printed in the newspaper. Their frustration stems from patronage falling far short of previous estimates, which foretold complete inundation by as many as 30,000 people. In fact, some business owners said the past weekend fell short of even a typical mid-August weekend in Stanley, and that their bottom lines suffered dearly.

“What’s happened is amazing compared to what they said is going to happen. We’re losing money. We’re not making what we’d normally make,” said Bridge Street Grill owner Brett Woolley.

“By far, less [business] than normal.

Marie said she is running for governor to reduce Idaho’s suicide rate and to better aid homeless residents.

Hagedorn said his candidacy aims to retain more of Idaho’s young adults and keep them from moving to other states for better jobs. That will require better infrastructure such as roads, highways, schools and social services, he said.

“Other states are envious of where we sit today,” he said.

McGeachin said she’s concerned about public land management and a proliferation of dead trees in Idaho’s forests.

“We need to have more control over managing our resources,” she said.

Packer said she wants state government departments to operate more efficiently.

“We need a more thoughtful approach on the major issues that face Idaho,” she said.

Kealey said he is running to protect Idaho’s credit rating and to maintain fiscally conservative principles in the state treasurer’s office.

Dillon said the state spends about half its money on public education, but education planning is done at the federal government’s behest.

“We spend $1.6 billion on education,” he said. “We don’t have an Idaho plan.”

Miller said state government needs to demonstrate effective outcomes to justify spending taxpayer money.

“It comes back to innovative thinking,” he said. “So many times in politics, when we build a consensus we wash out the solution. There’s so much government that just happens. There’s so much that we allow to happen.”

Ketchum approves sewer line repairs Emergency project will cost $60,000

By PETER JENSEN Express Staff Writer

The Ketchum City Council has approved spending $60,000 to do emergency repairs to a sewer line near the Aspen Drive bridge.

The sewer main line extends under Warm Springs Creek near the bridge and failed during the flooding in the spring. The damage occurred May 31, and since June 1 the city has had a temporary solution in place.

City public works crews blocked off manholes on both sides of the creek to stop spillage, and set up a bypass pump.

That’s been operating since June 1, but a more permanent solution is needed, Water Supervisor Pat Cooley told the City Council during a special meeting Thursday, Aug. 17, to address the issue. Monday’s City Council meeting was rescheduled due to the total solar eclipse.

“We’ve done all the protecting we can,” Cooley said. “We have to replace this line.”

The council voted unanimously to install a new pipe.

The project may qualify for federal funding if a presidential disaster declaration is issued for the flooding that happened in the spring. Finance Director Grant Gager said a decision could be made this week.

The work has to be finished before cold weather begins at the end of fall and start of winter, and Cooley is targeting mid-October to finish the project.

The city hired Galena Engineering to inspect the line and offer recommendations on the fix.

The firm conducted a survey

and reported that the channel bottom of Warm Springs Creek has dropped since the line was first installed decades ago.

The pipe was supposed to have about one foot of cover on top of it, according to a drawing of the sewer line’s design from 1967, the Galena report states.

“It appears that the channel has been deepening over the years and the flood this spring was the final blow, compromising the pipe,” the report states. “Rebuilding a gravity sewer at that location is problematic because the channel bottom is now several feet lower than it used to be.”

Cooley presented three options to fix the line: l Building a new pipe, replacing the bypass pumping and giving Public Works the time needed to pursue a long-term solution. The pipe will be exposed to debris and is susceptible to damage in any future flood. l Raising the channel and building the pipe so it has the needed cover. That requires alterations to the creek and would need time for permitting and construction, likely delaying the project until 2018. l Installing a lift station and putting a pressure sewer beneath the creek. Staff panned that option due to the “noise, smell, high cost and dependence on power” of lift stations, a staff report said.

The council supported the first option. It also voted to issue a request for proposals to convert customers on the Ketchum Springs line to the city’s water mains. Voters approved a $450,000 revenue bond in 2015 to fund the project.

Idaho’s largest wildfires burning in wilderness

By ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOISE— Idaho’s two largest wildfires are burning mostly in wilderness areas.

Officials say a wildfire on Saturday has burned 17 square miles in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in central Idaho and another in the Gospel Hump Wilderness in north-central Idaho has burned 21 square miles.

Fire officials are monitoring the wildfire in the River of No Return Wilderness but say they are prepared to respond to protect life and property if needed.

A backcountry airstrip in the area is closed due to the fire activity.

Officials say the wildfire in the Gospel Hump Wilderness has spread outside wilderness boundaries, and fire lines are being built on the southern end.

Officials say the popular Salmon River remains open to camping and boating.

Workers need better future than a gig economy

“G

ig” used to be a term for the musician’s lifestyle of putting on a performance, getting paid, then moving on. It is also a term for a future economy that may not live up to its hype.

The gig economy is shorthand for freelance or contract labor. Uber and Lyft drivers, bloggers and pretty much anyone who agrees to be paid by each discreet task is a gig worker. The gig economy is being heralded as the wave of the high-tech future. Yet in the present, the benefits are accruing mostly to employers who use gig workers.

Companies get complete flexibility, cost control and labor pools instantly sized by the needs of the moment. By replacing employees with gig contractors, they can jettison the costly benefits formerly paid to and expected by employees.

Now that the eclipse is history, we must turn our eyes from the skies to more earthly matters.

When the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives reconvene after their August recess, Idaho’s entirely Republican delegation should support the brewing effort to censure President Trump by helping to lead it.

Trump’s off-the-cuff remarks excused white nationalists of full responsibility for the events in Charlottesville, Va., that led to the death of a female counter-protestor last week. They were deplorable and must not stand. They were inexcusable from the man who is supposed to speak for all Americans.

The day after condemning members of the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis who marched last week chanting “blood and soil” and “Jews will not replace us,” Trump blamed both sides for the violence and sided with white nationalists who protested the removal of a statute of Civil War Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. Idaho Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch along with Congressmen Mike Simpson and Raul Labrador condemned the violence, racism and white supremacists, but their strong condemnation of events is not sufficient.

hate spewed from a neo-Nazi compound in north Idaho in the 1980s and 1990s.

They know hate is as tenacious and noxious as spotted knapweed. They know that unchecked, it strangles the reputation of everything and everyone it touches.

Idaho’s delegation should act to censure the president and to cut off any oxygen for hate.

Trump reaction made wounds deeper

Office and Classified Manager Jabbara Edwards

Advertising Trafficker Freda Avery

A resolution of censure of the president by the Senate and House would not carry the force of law. However, it would put the world on notice that when Trump encourages a movement that reveres the evil Nazi ideals that resulted in the deaths of 60 million people in World War II, he does not speak for all Americans, or many Americans at all.

ica flourish, as well.

Uber drivers in San Francisco have organized to demand better pay and working conditions. Products produced by laborers treated unfairly are being targeted for consumer boycotts. People who are powerless individually are flexing their collective muscle to force division of the rewards of productivity more equitably between capital and labor, between the 1 percent investor class and the rest of us.

Ideas, inventions and risk-taking run deep in American DNA. Rewarding those traits with riches is also part of American DNA. So is a belief in fair play and an equal playing field.

Watch for the latter to move to center stage in political and economic debates for a clue about how the future of the gig economy will look.

Censure the president

Production Manager Tony Barriatua

Classified Sales Alex McCausland

What happened to those benefits? With gig workers now often earning only the equivalent of their former hourly wage, benefits went away. No more pensions, no more health insurance, no more paid vacations and holidays.

Organizing work as “gigs” is not likely to go away. Productivity measurements and flexibility in unpredictable environments make contracting for work too attractive for job creators.

However, it consigns workers to a dog-eatdog, survival-of-the-fittest existence. There are some indications that the lessons of the power of collective action have not been totally forgotten.

The certainty of benefits, the stability of a regular work schedule and a career path instead of a series of new jobs were markers of the middle class that flourished in mid-20th-century America and made Amer-

ug. 15 was a great day for David Duke and racists everywhere. The president of the United States all but declared that he has their backs.

When a white supremacist stands accused of running his car into a crowd of protesters, killing one and injuring 19, Americans of goodwill mourn and demand justice. When this is done in the context of a rally where swastikas are borne and racist and anti-Semitic epithets hurled, the only morally justifiable reaction is disgust. When the nation’s leader does not understand this, the nation can only weep.

On Saturday, after the murder of an innocent protester in Charlottesville followed marches that included armed men and Nazi salutes, President Trump’s instinct was to blame both sides. Widespread criticism fol The Washington Post published this editorial on Aug. 15.

lowed, including the resignations of business leaders from a White House advisory council and condemnation from political leaders of both parties. On Monday, Mr. Trump read a prepared statement condemning white supremacists and racism, delivering it in a manner suggesting he neither wrote nor endorsed the words. On Tuesday, he removed any doubt: His initial reaction, putting Nazis and those protesting them on equal moral footing, is how he really feels.

“I think there’s blame on both sides. You look at—you look at both sides,” Mr. Trump said to reporters in Trump Tower, adding that there were “very fine people, on both sides.” We’ve all seen the videotape: One side was composed of Nazis, Klansmen and other avowed racists chanting “Jews will not replace us.” The other side was objecting to their racism.

Yes, there are good and moral Americans who oppose the removal of statues of Confederate generals. Yes, there are reasonable Americans who fear that slaveholding

Founding Fathers will be the next target.

Notwithstanding Mr. Trump’s comments Tuesday, we don’t find it difficult to distinguish between a monument to George Washington, say, and statues to Confederate generals that were erected in the 20th century with the goal of maintaining white supremacy.

There may be a time to debate such questions—but not, as any national leader with a sense of decency would understand, now.

Not in a time of mourning, with the wounds so fresh. Not when Mr. Trump has not even bothered to call the family of Heather Heyer, the young woman mowed down on Saturday. Not when Americans are looking for a clear and unequivocal condemnation of the hatred that brought those 700 marchers to Charlottesville.

That car in Charlottesville did not kill or wound just the 20 bodies it struck. It damaged the nation. Mr. Trump not only failed to help the country heal; he made the wound wider and deeper.

Is Camas airport first step to more development?

By RANDY A. PEW Since Friedman Memorial Airport doesn’t possess runways capable of handling larger aircraft due to take-off requirements for same, is it possible the proposed Soldier Field Airport plans are structured to fill such a void? Many suspect this “private” airport is a ground-breaking for future commercial and high-end residential development—especially with big Hollywood money backing it.

What do the permit(s) and construction documents state regarding runway loads? If so specified, large commercial aircraft would have the capability of landing and leaving said runway, correct? Hmm ... Is IxNay making plans for future development(s), the prairie AG-80 parcels scattered with condominiums?

Generally speaking, an engineering group presents the runway specifications to a construction firm prior to excavation and subsequent surfacing. Where are the engineering plans? One or more of these groups must have these specifications for the runway bed and surface, which should in turn be presented to Camas County for review and perhaps subsequent permitting. Where are all these documents, and, one must ask, where’s the transparency?

Who in residential and rural Camas County wishes to have single, multiple, naturally aspirated, turbocharged, turboprop and jet-engined aircraft flying at low altitude over their residence, parcel(s), property and livestock—eventually at all hours as indicated by the installation of “high intensity lighting?”

How many “private” airport runways in Idaho are finished concrete surfaces and exceed 8,000 feet in length? If any, what documentation did they present to their respective county for examination prior to receiving a permit?

How many “private” airports in Idaho allow jet aircraft, and how are such aircraft refueled when necessary? I don’t see many jet aircraft using land designated agricultural for arrival and departure purposes; just an observation.

Surely folks viewing this project have some knowledge of the amount of support facilities necessary to maintain operations: hangars, shuttles, refueling equipment (such as underground fuel storage tanks or mobile vehicles), emergency response personnel and equipment, runway support equipment, and so on.

What are District 26 representatives’ views on this matter?

What’s to stop other parcel holders from seeking and developing similar airports— checker-boarding the prairie with broad, lengthy runways and accompaniments?

For whom does this Soldier Field Airport project benefit the most (or least)—Camas County et al.—its residents, ranchers and farmers—the airport’s developers or the government?

Once initiated, Soldier Field Airport could very well set a precedent for those who wish to follow. Should this be the case, and who will be held responsible?

I’d be remiss if it isn’t understood by all that once permitted and allowed, those in county government more or less “own” the Soldier Field Airport project—good, bad or indifferent.

Some folks are suggesting this is a classic case of “the tail wagging the dog.” I tend to agree. By all outward appearances, Willis’ IxNay real estate group is the “tail,” and the entire county and its residents “the dog.”

Picking up dog waste is important for valley environment Recently, there has been a lot of discussion around dog waste, so we wanted to take the opportunity to clear up some of the confusion.

In Blaine County, we are fortunate to have an incredible network of public trails to enjoy with our four-legged friends. In order to preserve these into the future, trail users must also be proactive stewards, and this includes picking up after your dog.

Why? Dog waste is the third leading cause of water pollution in the U.S. The average dog produces 0.75 pounds of waste per day (271 pounds per year). The EPA estimates that two to three days’ worth of waste from a population of about 100 dogs would contribute enough bacteria to temporarily close a bay to fishing and swimming, and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it. Have you read about the closures of Quinn’s Pond and Esther Simplot Park in Boise? That’s in part due to unattended dog waste.

Unlike that of horses, deer and wild animals, dog waste contains microbes that can be harmful to humans and dogs alike, including parasites, E. coli, salmonella, giardia and many more. One gram of dog poop contains 23 million fecal bacteria.

Wild canine waste is 100 percent biodegradable, as it is the product of a highprotein and calcium-rich diet, and does not contain preservatives, chemicals or grain. Alternatively, domestic dog waste is often the result of a diet that is preservative-rich, making decomposition time longer and adding more chemicals to the environment.

Dog waste contains extremely high levels of phosphorus and nitrogen, and when added to the water, encourages rampant algae growth. This growth depletes oxygen levels in water, making it difficult for other aquatic organisms to survive.

As dog waste decomposes, components can seep into the groundwater or run off into surface waters during rain events or snowmelt. The rivers and streams of the Wood River basin are fed almost entirely by rain and snow runoff, making our water systems particularly vulnerable. Therefore, every time dog waste is left on the trail, it adds to the pollution of our local waterways—the waterways that we depend on for drinking, irrigation and recreation.

For these reasons, the ERC, in collaboration with many user groups including the Forest Service and BLM, has provided bags and routine bin servicing at 16 highly trafficked trailheads for more than 10 years. Our PUP (Pick Up for the Planet) program works to lessen the negative aesthetic, environmental and health impacts of unattended dog waste. In 2016, the ERC diverted more than 250 33-gallon bags of dog waste from local trailheads, with more being diverted in 2017.

Media, alt-fake-Democrats are telling lies It’s amazing that the alt-fake-news and the alt-fake-Democrats honor the fact that they can lie about our president, but resent that he can tell the truth about them. To me, that does not make any sense.

The alt-fake-Democrats can demolish their own (and our) school buildings, not repay their student loans, stop the free speech of those who tell the truth, lie about their emails, destroy their emails, put our country in jeopardy and lie about our president, and the alt-fake-news can report and encourage it, but the alt-fake news does not want to publish the truth.

They lie about the president’s relations with Russia and do not want him to soothe relations with other countries, but are perfectly willing to tear our own country apart. Wow! They want to allow Sharia law, which allows a father to kill his kids, honor those who kill the infidels (us) but protest our own laws and Constitution. (By the way, the Supreme Court just ruled that Sharia law cannot be taught in schools.

A feather in the non-alts’ cap.)

I am not a Democrat, Republican, Communist or neo-Nazi, and now especially not a Democrat, but I do believe in the United States. It is so

sad that so many people around the world and our own innocent kids have died in their defense of our freedoms, which are so often opposed by the alts.

Think about what happened concerning Charlottesville. Our president tried to explain the cause of the violence in a logical manner. The alt-fake-Democrats and the alt-fake-news then tried to discredit our president by untruthfully stating that he was a neo-Nazi.

At any rate, it looks like I will be voting for President Trump again. And I will be sure not to read Hillary Clinton’s new book (probably filled with lies).

Knapweed is winning Thank you, Libby Holtz, for bringing our noxious weed problem to the forefront (letter Aug. 16, “Have we surrendered to knapweed?”).

The profusion of knapweed all over our valley is very discouraging. I walk my dogs out in the county and public lands and there, too, knapweed has become prevalent where in the past it barely existed. I, too, used to pull it when walking the dogs or going fishing, and now feel overwhelmed with the amount.

If nothing is done, it will take over. I’m not sure what can be done, but some effort needs to occur or we will regret it very soon.

Bobby Noyes Ketchum

Idaho delegation should speak out President Trump is an embarrassment to our country. He clearly doesn’t have moral authority. He’s demonstrated repeatedly that he’s not an honorable man. If our Congress people do not repudiate his actions, they are tacitly approving them.

Idahoans deserve Congress people who stand for integrity, moral authority, honesty and for the best elements of our country. I admire Republicans like John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Bob Corker and others who are willing to speak out against this dishonorable president.

Please let Sens. Crapo and Risch and Congressman Simpson know that their fellow Idahoans do not support this president’s behavior and that they should speak out against it.

As in many other areas of the mountain West, the Sawtooth National Forest is undertaking projects to rehabilitate whitebark pine forests decimated by outbreaks of mountain pine beetle and a fungal disease called white pine blister rust.

Whitebark pines grow on cold, windy, high-elevation sites. They have important functions in the ecosystem, and are considered a keystone species. Whitebark pines are frequently the first conifers to become established after disturbances such as wildfires, and subsequently stabilize soils and regulate runoff. By providing shade at high elevations, whitebark pines slow the progression of snowmelt, reducing spring flooding at lower elevations.

The decline in numbers of these pines affects the diversity of wildlife and plant species that depend on them for food and cover.

The large seeds are an important food source for squirrels, Clark’s nutcrackers and similar birds, as well as grizzly and black bears.

In 2011, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that the whitebark pine was experiencing an overall long-term pattern of decline.

“Recent predictions indicate a continuing downward trend within the majority of its range,” the agency stated. “While individual trees may persist, given current trends, the service anticipates whitebark pine forests will likely become extirpated and their ecosystem functions will be lost in the foreseeable future.

On a landscape scale, the species appears to be in danger of extinction, potentially within as few as two to three generations. The generation time of whitebark pine is approximately 60 years.”

The agency determined that whitebark pine warranted protection under the Endangered Species Act, but listing was precluded by the need to address higher-priority species.

Mountain pine beetles began infesting lodgepole and whitebark pines surrounding the Wood River

Whitebark pines grow on exposed, high-elevation locations. Here, a healthy whitebark pine grows behind a dead tree, near the Sawtooth Mountains.

Valley in the late 1990s. Ketchum Ranger District Forester Nelson Mills said the beetle infestation began to subside about five years ago, but whitebark pines are still being killed by the blister rust. He said high-elevation stands of the trees have experienced more than 90 percent mortality.

“The population is declining rapidly,” he said.

However, he said, whitebark forests near Galena Summit, on Railroad Ridge at the northern end of the White Cloud Mountains and in the Fourth of July Creek basin on the western side of the White Clouds have fared better.

Mills said that in July, a team collected cones from trees at Galena Summit and sent them to a Forest Service genetics lab in Ogden, Utah.

“They will use the pollen we collected to create rust-resistant strains of whitebark pine,” he said.

district has already planted seedlings from the Lucky Peak Nursery, the seedling production and seed processing facility for the Forest Service’s Intermountain Region. He said the district will survey the planted areas in September to evaluate the seedlings’ condition.

“Our survival rate is pretty high for whitebark pines,” he said.

Mills said another threat to the whitebarks is crowding by fastergrowing conifers, which absorb nutrients and outcompete them for sunlight. He said the Ranger District has been thinning Douglas firs, subalpine firs and lodgepole pines around whitebark stands in the Pioneer Mountains, along Galena Summit and on Railroad Ridge, and will soon do so in the mountains north of Fairfield.

“Working with all the different disciplines, we can continue to make sure that this unique tree will survive in the Central Rockies,” he said.

U.S. Army Sgt. and Blaine County native Bowe Bergdahl has chosen to have his court-martial trial heard only by Army Col. Jeffery R. Nance, rather than a jury of military officers.

Anyone accused in a court-martial has a right to be tried by a judge alone.

Nance recently rejected a request by Bergdahl’s attorneys to dismiss the case over President Trump’s campaign remarks. Trump called Bergdahl a “traitor.”

Bergdahl spent five years in Taliban captivity after leaving his military base in Afghanistan in 2009. He was freed in 2014 during a controversial prisoner exchange that also freed five high-level Taliban leaders.

Military specialists determined that Bergdahl had been suffering from a mental illness when he left his base.

Bergdahl, who grew up in Croy Canyon west of Hailey, was charged in March 2015 with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. The latter charge carries a potential life sentence.

U.S. military prosecutors charge that Bergdahl sneaked off his post, leading to a 45-day search that endangered other soldiers’ lives.

The Associated Press reported Monday that defense attorneys had been prohibited from asking jurors if they voted for Trump.

“They felt that was very important … for fleshing out whether a panel member could be fair,” said Rachel VanLandingham, a former Air Force lawyer not involved in the case, the ap reported.

The trial is scheduled to begin in October at Fort Bragg, N.C.

A steady stream of traffic moves slowly south on state Highway 75 on Monday afternoon, after the total solar eclipse in Ketchum and points north.

Traffic slightly above normal before eclipse ITD estimates 30,000 extra cars on the roads across Idaho

By PETER JENSEN Express Staff Writer

Traffic jams never happened on state Highway 75 in the days leading up to Monday’s total solar eclipse, but traffic on the road was snarled Monday afternoon.

Traffic was slightly above normal on the highway for the weekend, according to traffic counts released by the Idaho Transportation Department. ITD has a traffic counter north of Hailey that recorded 13,660 cars in the 24 hours prior to 10 a.m. Monday morning, which was about an hour and a half before the total solar eclipse started in Ketchum and Sun Valley. For the same time period in 2016, the traffic counter recorded 13,520 cars, amounting to a 1 percent increase year-over-year.

Traffic was up more on Saturday and Sunday. For the 24-hour period ending at noon Sunday, ITD’s traffic counter recorded a 15 percent increase year-over-year.

Overall, from Thursday until Monday morning, the traffic counter north of Hailey recorded 60,880 vehicles.

Traffic was heavy heading south after the eclipse, particularly between Ketchum and Hailey. Cars were slowed to an average speed of 10 mph north of Ketchum at about 1:30 p.m., according to the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office.

ITD finished the Big Wood River bridge project south of Ketchum and opened all four lanes to traffic Thursday night.

A parking crunch predicted in downtown Ketchum on Monday morning never occurred, either.

Downtown streets had plenty of empty spaces as of 9:30 a.m., and

a city-operated public parking lot near River Run didn’t fill up.

Mountain Rides reported full buses in the morning and afternoon on Monday.

ITD estimated that 30,000 more cars than normal were on highways throughout the state during the days before the eclipse.

The department said traffic was busiest on I-15 from the Utah border to Idaho Falls, along U.S. 93 close to Craters of the Moon National Monument, on U.S. 20 close to Arco, on state Highway 95 from Payette to Riggins and on Highway 55 north of Eagle.

On I-15 in Pocatello, ITD reported a 76 percent increase in traffic Monday. Its traffic counter recorded 38,180 cars in a 24-hour period, compared to 21,700 in the same time period in 2016.

On U.S. 93 at Craters of the Moon, traffic was 162 percent higher than normal. That accounts for 5,910 vehicles in a 24-hour period ending Monday, compared with 2,260 the year prior.

The traffic counter on U.S. 20 east of Arco had a 93 percent increase year-over-year. It recorded 6,520 cars in a 24-hour period ending Monday morning, compared to 3,370 the year prior.

On Highway 21 near Robie Creek northeast of Boise, traffic was up by 33 percent, or 5,380 cars compared with 4,040 in the same time period last year.

“Many locations in the mountains saw a steady stream of increased traffic throughout the weekend, up until the morning of the eclipse,” ITD said in a statement on its website. “Monday morning, routes along the I-15 corridor saw the biggest spike for dayof traffic.”

River Sage riders gather for stock horse series Summer competition showcases Western horsemanship

By FREDDIE HARRIS For the Express

Lily sits on a mounting block and tells a ridiculous joke to a jovial crowd of riders and their horses. The crowd snorts and groans. Lily’s horse, Frog, stands calmly tied up to a hitch rack next to her, resting a hind leg.

Surprisingly, the gag is all part of the River Sage Ranch Stock Horse Series. As part of the event, horses must stand quietly and peacefully for as long as their riders need them to—while their riders tell a joke or catch an escaped sheep on the ranch.

The River Sage Ranch Stock Horse Series is taking place over a three-month period this summer, at the ranch south of Bellevue. The first event was on July 23. There will be subsequent competitions on Aug. 27 and Sept. 24.

Horses and riders compete for buckles in a variety of events designed to showcase Western horsemanship. On each day, competitors complete a series of tasks scored by judges. Their scores get carried over to the next event and the judges tally up the two best scores out of the three days. The tasks include a reining pattern, obstacle courses, one-person cow sorting and cow boxing.

“Ranch stock horses must do everything a working horse would do on a ranch, but the focus is on horsemanship,” said organizer

Trudy Peterson who, along with Sara Berkowtiz, manages River Sage Stables.

For instance, in the reining pattern, riders must put their horses through a series of moves, whereby their horses transition seamlessly from walk to trot to canter. In addition, riders are asked to perform flying lead changes at the canter, as well as side passes, and rollbacks.

“It’s all about riding your horse naturally on a loose rein, using your body during transitions, and not hanging on to your horse’s mouth,” Peterson said.

Hetty Morgan, who competes with her 30-year-old mare, Madam, said, “I’m learning to be a better horse person.”

Her friend Judy McClean agrees: “It’s training for novices to learn good horsemanship.”

With regards to the rather complex move whereby a rider asks her horse to do a flying lead change at the canter, McClean said with a laugh, “I see a lot of lead changes in my future.”

Competitor Ellen Suter agreed that the reining pattern is the most challenging event: “I have to work on those patterns,” she said, “and breathing!”

The competitors are split into two groups: pro and novice.

“The pros are scored differently than the novices,” Peterson said. “Pros are expected to ride with more finesse.”

Participant Mimi Crocker rides Aksel at River Sage Stables, south of Bellevue, during the competition.

Both groups have to complete a reining pattern and an obstacle course complete with water feature, teeter-totter and scary cowhides swaying in the breeze. For extra points, riders can pull a fake steer—an obstacle that can be quite alarming for their mounts.

In all, horses and riders have to navigate each obstacle calmly and without hesitation.

L IVE . P LAY . S MILE .

DR. SCOTT FEATHERSTONE & DR. CHERYL RICE and their team would like to extend a warm welcome to

LAURA LAGGIS, RDH

“The obstacle course offers hurdles that you might encounter on the trail. You need to teach your horse to navigate them without ‘rawhiding it,’” said Melissa “Missy” Lipton.

The pro and novice divisions diverge in the cow events. The novices perform one-person sorting, whereby they must sort cows from a herd in one corral, and usher the appropriate number of cows into another corral while leaving the others behind.

“I like working with the cows the best of all the events,” said Isabella Roberts, 14, “You had to get one cow, sort it out and not let the others out. It’s a lot of cows for one person!”

The pro participants compete in an event called cow boxing. It entails working a cow along a fence, and then circling it clockwise and counterclockwise, against the clock. Cows aren’t always cooperative, however. Depending on how horse and rider interact with the cow, the cows either run—often in the wrong direction—or stop and stubbornly refuse to move.

Pro rider Tree Bosch acknowledges the challenges.

“You have to be in the right position to make a cow do what you want it to, to make it turn when

you want it to,” Bosch said. “You have to read the cow and adjust your horse’s speed to the cow’s.”

“Boxing is my favorite,” said Anita Tiegert. “I’ve never done it before and it’s out of my comfort zone.”

Peterson and her family— including husband Skip and daughter Jamey—have worked hard over the last few years to bring different Western events to River Sage. One year, they held a rodeo, the next, team sorting, and this year the Stock Horse Series.

Western riders throughout the Wood River Valley are immensely grateful.

“I love what Trudy and her family do here and how the whole family works together for the community,” said local trainer Mimi Crocker, who competed on Aksel and Laddy. “They bring us great events that appeal to all levels of horse and rider.”

Sue Gassland agrees that the Peterson family has fostered a great community of horse folk.

“All the competitors are very supportive and encouraging,” she said.

For information about the second and third installments of the series, call Peterson at 208-4812551 or email her at jackpotroping@hotmail.com.

Sun Valley City Councilman Saks seeking re-election Council member says city is moving in the right direction

By PETER JENSEN Express Staff Writer

Sun Valley City Councilman Keith Saks is seeking re-election to a second term in office.

Saks holds one of two seats on the council that will be up for election Nov. 7, along with the one held by Councilman Brad DuFur. DuFur was appointed at the start of 2016 to serve the remainder of Mayor Peter Hendricks’ term after he vacated the council seat when he took office as mayor.

Saks is nearing the end of his first fouryear term in office, and credits the council with maintaining a stable budget and expanding emergency medical services.

The first two years on the council were not the smoothest, and were marked by discord between council members and former Mayor Dewayne Briscoe, as well as lawsuits filed by former City Administrator Sharon Hammer.

Saks said the political turmoil has lessened since Hendricks took office, and praised DuFur and Councilwoman Jane Conard, who was appointed in 2015, as good additions to the council.

“It’s developed into a healthy situation,” Saks said of serving on the council. “It’s respectful. It’s collegial. I enjoy doing this job, even in the first two years when there was so much tension.”

Saks said the council can have disagreements over votes and spending in the city budget, but it doesn’t linger once the votes are cast. He cited a recent decision to trim Mountain Rides’ request for city funding.

The transit agency requested $317,000.

The council favored spending $307,000 on the contract, over the objections of Conard, who serves on Mountain Rides’ board of

First responders report typical weekend Crowds for eclipse were only moderate on national forests

By JOSHUA MURDOCK, MARK DEE and GREG MOORE Express Staff Writers

Despite cries of an impending “apoc-eclipse,” law enforcement, health and emergency services across the region held up to only slightly increased demand by visitors viewing the total solar eclipse on Monday.

As the crowd ebbed Tuesday afternoon, local authorities praised planning—and lighter than expected attendance—for keeping things on track.

“As far as what we saw, everything went smoothly,” said Blaine County Disaster Services Coordinator Chris Corwin, who reported no “major issues” from Friday through Monday. “We had our

plans in place, and fortunately we didn’t have to execute all of them.

Some might say we were over-prepared, but to me that’s not a bad thing.”

The county did use the extra resources brought in to abate the possible rush, including extra ambulances, medical personnel, and law enforcement officers.

And, with people still scattered in the backcountry, the window for serious incidents hasn’t yet passed.

Closer to town, things stayed calm.

“The place actually felt like it was deserted,” said County Commissioner Larry Schoen during the board’s Tuesday meeting.

“All our hotels and VRBOs were booked, so we got a lot of people,” Corwin said. “But not

the excessive amount we were prepared for.”

Wood River Fire & Rescue Chief Bart Lassman said that aside from a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of McKercher Boulevard and Main Street in Hailey on Friday, the weekend and Monday in the south valley were quiet. Two people involved in Friday’s crash were transported to St. Luke’s Wood River hospital out of precaution, he said, but there were no serious injuries.

“It was slow, [but] there were very large increases of traffic each day,” he said.

Lassman said that even though the feared flood of calls never came, “it was nice to have the additional personnel,” which he said was “good preparation in case we did need it.”

Ketchum Fire Chief Mike Elle reported 15 calls from Friday through Monday, “which is pretty normal for a weekend in the summertime.”

Elle did not attribute any incidents to the eclipse, but stressed that “in my world, it’s better to be overprepared and underwhelmed, rather than the other way around.”

Mike Crawford, assistant chief of the Sun Valley Police Department, said Monday was “no different than any other busy summer day,” and reported no calls attributed to the eclipse. However, the eclipse itself “exceeded expectations,” he said.

Bellevue Marshal Ron Pumphrey reported no incidents in Bellevue attributed to the eclipse, and Bellevue Fire Chief Greg Bea-

ver said the agency was prepared with increased staffing, but then “nothing happened.”

The Blaine County Sheriff’s Office reported a three-vehicle accident on state Highway 75 with no injuries near Hulen Meadows north of Ketchum on Monday afternoon, but the crash was quickly cleared.

No eclipse babies At St. Luke’s Wood River, it was Christmas in August. The hospital saw 121 visits to the emergency room from Friday through midnight Monday—a number it would expect to see during the holiday rush, but well within the facility’s capabilities, according to St. Luke’s spokeswoman Joy Prudek.

Another 22 patients came through the hospital’s ad-hoc urgent care center Saturday and Sunday, which was set up to support the ER during the weekend.

By noon Tuesday, no one had come in with eye-related issues, Prudek said.

Aid stations up north may have helped lighten the load, but Prudek also echoed Corwin’s outlook: People got the message, and largely kept safe.

With the situation well in hand, even patients at the hospital got to view the eclipse—including one who watched with his attending paramedics from the ambulance bay.

“We’re glad we had months to plan,” Prudek said, praising the coordination between local, regional and state agencies.

“Every time we prepare for something like this, we get better.”

Prudek also said that there were no “eclipse babies” born, despite there being several candidates.

“It was a lot of planning for much larger crowds.”

Kurt Nelson

Ketchum district ranger

Pleasant times reported on national forests Many people enjoyed viewing the eclipse from a peaceful site on the Sawtooth National Forest.

However, to the benefit of both visitors and land managers, the expected crowds did not materialize there.

“It went without a hitch,” Ketchum District Ranger Kurt Nelson said. “It was a lot of planning for much larger crowds.”

Nelson said district staff members were in the field through the weekend, and there were no reports of major accidents or wildfires starting.

“I think it was a very positive experience for visitors and the community alike,” he said.

Nelson said district personnel zip-tied plastic signs onto fire grates notifying campers of the fire restrictions in effect.

“Folks had to see it,” he said.

Though the crowds in general weren’t as high as predicted, Nelson said some trailhead parking lots were filled beyond capacity.

“We probably underestimated the number of people who wanted to experience an eclipse in a wilderness setting,” he said.

A sequence of 17 photographs of the sun at varying stages of Monday’s total solar eclipse shows the moon’s progression across the sun, as well as the sun’s corona, an atmosphere of plasma surrounding the star, shining from behind the moon during totality. The photographs are a selection of frames shot from Orval Hansen Point beach at Redfish Lake over the duration of the eclipse.

Among smaller crowds, solar eclipse viewers wowed Continued from Page 1 The corona—an ephemeral radiance of light emanating from the blacked-out, obscured sun—appeared and Venus shone in the sky above. The glow of smartphone cameras recording the event popped up.

Ketchum and Sun Valley were in the southern portion of the path of totality, a 70-mile-wide swath that stretched from north of Stanley down to East Fork Road between Ketchum and Hailey. In Ketchum, totality lasted for about a minute.

Just as quickly as it had arrived, the moment passed and daylight reappeared.

Hailey and Bellevue could see a partial eclipse but not totality.

Michael Chardack said the last 1 to 2 percent to get to the total eclipse were most important.

“The most notable part is when it went total,” Chardack said. “You had to get the totality to get the full effect of it. That last 1 percent is where it’s at.”

Andy Chardack, 13, said he was amazed by the event. The family did have a video recording the eclipse, but the camera lens was pointed at them to record their reactions.

“I thought it was awesome,” Andy Chardack said. “I was kind of speechless.”

Reflecting on the event in Ketchum Town Square afterward, Michael Chardack said they’d considered hiking to the top of Bald Mountain on Monday, but it was too far. They settled on a part of the northwest part of Dollar. It was the first total solar eclipse they’d seen.

“My biggest surprise was how much of the sun had to go before it got dark,” Chardack said.

Visitor numbers below expectations Visitors started arriving in the Wood River Valley last week, though the volume of tourists was similar to a typical busy weekend during the summer.

The city of Ketchum had predicted that She didn’t fault government agencies for 34,000 people could come to the valley for over-preparing for the event. the event, which is about twice the aver- “Better be organized and not get the age number of people who come to Wagon mobs than not be organized and get the Days every Labor Day weekend.

Stores, restaurants have mixed experience Government advisories had warned that thousands of eclipse viewers could clog streets, buy out grocery stores and empty gas stations of fuel.

“I’m hearing from people that everyone was scared away,” said Randy Carroll, a bartender at the Pioneer Saloon in Ketchum.

The Pioneer opened an hour earlier than usual during the weekend, in anticipation of larger-than-normal crowds, but Carroll said the crowds didn’t show up until Sunday evening at 7 p.m.

“It was quiet,” he said. “We were slammed for two hours and then on Monday after the eclipse people were getting in their cars and leaving town.”

Keith Perry, owner of Perry’s restaurant in Ketchum, said he doubled up on food and beverages for the weekend. Sunday was one of his top 10 busiest days on record, but the rest of the weekend was a bit of a disappointment, he said.

“It was busier than normal in the morning and again later in the afternoon, but from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Monday, we did nothing. During the eclipse, I had only two people in the restaurant.”

To satisfy passersby, Perry bought five cases of liter-sized water bottles, icing them down on Monday morning.

“I sold only one case,” he said.

Chip Atkinson, president of Atkinsons’ Markets, said he didn’t run out of anything, though locals reported long lines before the weekend.

“There was a lot of fear about gridlock traffic. At least that did not happen,” he said.

“On the flip side, so many people stocked up on groceries before the eclipse, this next week will probably be one of our slowest.”

WRHS football kicks off new era at Pocatello

Sunday’s climb is the Hyndman Peak “Sufferfest”

88 players turn out, but few starters return

By JEFF CORDES

Express Staff Writer

uilding on a strong offensive line, the Wood River High School varsity football team is hoping to start another run of gridiron success Thursday, Aug. 24 when the Wolverines debut against the Pocatello Indians for a non-conference test.

Opening kickoff is Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at Holt Arena in Pocatello. The game will be streamed on idahosports.com.

Wood River’s ninth-year coach Kevin Stilling has welcomed his biggest-ever turnout of players, 88. But last year’s Great Basin Conference “Coach of the Year” Stilling has lost plenty from an unprecedented three-year string of success.

Sixteen seniors including GBC “Players of the Year” Cade Schott (offense) and Travis Swanson (defense) graduated from Stilling’s squad that won Wood River’s first-ever GBC 4A league title with an 8-2 record (5-0 league) and a 32.5 ppg scoring average.

The 325 points scored in 10 games represented the most points scored by a Wolverine team in 50 seasons of Hailey football, and the most wins in a single season since 1975. Seniors Owen Gifford and Jens Blackman and junior Taylor Koth made All-State teams.

Over three seasons, Wood River’s varsity went 20-10 and averaged 30.1 ppg in 30 games with a core of players who had enjoyed winning football success since middle school.

And now, it’s essentially back to square one, despite the fact that Wood River returns 20 seniors from the 42-player squad that ended its successful campaign Nov. 4 with a 62-13 home State 4A playoff loss to Skyview of Nampa, in Hailey.

“We didn’t start a single junior last year,” said Stilling. “So, even though our offensive line is a strength, and the kicking game should be a huge strength with Taylor Koth coming back as a senior, we’ll return fewer than five players who contributed a lot last year.”

The Wolverines won’t have Turner Maza, who rushed for 952 yards and 15 touchdowns. They won’t have quarterback Schott, who passed for 2,247 yards and 24 TDs. They won’t have Gifford, who caught 65 passes for 1,027 yards and 13 TDs along with nearly 450 yards in kickoff/punt returns.

And they won’t have linebackers Swanson (86 tackles) and Jubal Toothman (98 tackles) and lineman Hans Heaphy (45 tackles), seemingly everywhere when needed on defense.

“We have talent,” said Stilling about his current team. “I think we will miss our leadership more than our talent.”

Stilling does know that if the Wood River offense can move the ball, Koth can put points on the board with his kicking.

Last year, Koth boomed 96% of his kickoffs for touchbacks, which gave the Wolverine defense an immediate advantage.

He kicked six field goals, making 80% of his attempts. And he kicked 36 extra points, giving the soccer-style kicker 70 extra points over two years.

“We hope Taylor is an offensive weapon

The placekicking and punting abilities of senior Taylor Koth, shown booting against Fruitland last September, will be a positive for this year’s Wood River High School football team. again,” said Stilling. “We just hope he’s not our best offense.”

Much of the offense is going to go through a brand-new starting quarterback. He is sophomore Andrew Nelson, who has plenty of attributes including pedigree. His father, the late James Nelson, quarterbacked Wood River in 1985.

Referring to his last two quarterbacks during Wood River‘s winning success of 2014-16, Coach Stilling said, “Andrew has the arm strength of Cade (Schott). And he can see the field and is faster than Alec (Nordsieck).”

“I don’t think we will pass the ball any more frequently. We’ll have different ways of getting the ball down the field.”

The offensive line features tackles Klayton Douthit and KC Marcroft, guards Hunter McMurdo and Brendan Cox, center Hunter Geissler, as well as sophomore Aaron Andazola and Alex Ortiz.

Running backs include senior Jaren Bothwell and junior Dom Leos. Outside and slot receivers are seniors Ian Thomas and Christian Hovey, who Stilling said are providing leadership, as well as Brandon Scott, David Balcos, Isaac Loomis and Alec Broman.

“We have half a dozen guys who can catch the ball,” said Stilling. “And we have a lot of kids who want to play.”

Down linemen on defense include Phoenix Collins, Ethan Daves, Lacoby Zamora, Marcroft, Cox and Geissler. Linebackers

are McMurdo, Douthit, Andazola, Brandon Uhrig, Eric Baeza, Joe Walker, Balcos and Hovey. Safety is Ian Thomas. Cornerbacks include Bothwell and Hunter Stewart.

Looking at the schedule The Wolverines have four home games starting with Jerome on Friday, Sept. 1 to kick off Labor Day weekend, and then Twin Falls Sept. 8. Both are GBC league games.

Kimberly is the Homecoming opponent Sept. 22, and the Buhl Tribe arrives for “Senior Night” on Thursday, Oct. 5. Both are 3A Idaho programs.

Three of Wood River’s final four regular-season games are scheduled on the road—all GBC contests—at Burley, Canyon Ridge in Twin Falls and Minico over in Rupert.

Based on their junior varsity teams of the past and what they have returning, Minico and Twin Falls should be the conference favorites, Stilling said, and “Canyon Ridge looks really physical.”

Twin Falls (5-5, 4-1 league) finished second in the Great Basin and lost 32-14 to Middleton in the state play-in round.

Third-place Minico (4-6, 3-2 league) ended its first losing season since 2009 with a 27-23 state play-in loss to Blackfoot.

Jerome (3-6, 2-3) actually played better on the road than its winless home record See WOLVERINES, Page 20

How about taking a Sunday morning late-summer climb up to the 12,009-foot summit of Hyndman Peak in the Pioneer Mountains near Ketchum?

If you’re interested and fully prepared for the challenges and the weather elements, eight-time Baldy Hill Climb champion Miles Fink-Debray, 29, has just the event for you.

His fourth annual Hyndman Peak “Sufferfest” has been scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 27 starting at 7:30 a.m. from the Hyndman trailhead out East Fork south of Ketchum.

Participants should use the lower parking lot, if the upper parking lot is full. Fink-Debray expects a cool and sunny morning, but suggests preparedness because thunderstorms can arrive quickly in the steeps.

“Be fully prepared for anything,” he said, adding that a waist pack or backpack, windbreaker, water and food are essentials for the event.

The event is free. Sign up in advance at chief sponsor Ski Tek in Ketchum (7267503) or just show up at the trailhead Sunday and be ready to go. Apres-event and awards are set for Sunday at 5 p.m. back at the Ski Tek store in Ketchum.

Fink-Debray calls it “the world’s toughest 10k,” referring to the 10-kilometer distance. He said, “It’s a very primitive-style race and that’s what I like most about it.

“It’s more than just a race to me. It is sharing what I do and how I’ve grown up living here in the mountains. It’s completely my element and it’s so cool to share that with everyone.”

“Sufferfest” features a 10-kilometer (6.2 mile) climb covering 5,000 vertical feet to the 12,009-foot summit of Hyndman Peak. It starts from the 7,000-foot Hyndman trailhead on moderate-grade single track over the first three miles.

The course increases in difficulty for another 2.4 miles up to the 10,804foot saddle. From the saddle, climbers scramble up rugged rock for the final 0.6-miles—a stretch rising 1,200 vertical feet to the summit of Idaho’s ninth-highest peak.

Fink-Debray, who is providing handmade cups for this year’s participants, said about 30 climbers are expected for Sunday’s climb. There were 17 participants in 2014, 25 climbers in 2015 and 20 finishers last July in daunting weather.

Last year’s winner was Shiloh Mielke, 36, of Asheville, N.C. in 1.33:39, less than four minutes ahead of Fink-Debray (1.37:08). Fink-Debray won the two previous climbs in times of 1.33:00 and 1.35:11.

Two-time women’s champ Brooke Hovey was last year’s top female in 1.50:15, accompanied by her dog Luna the Lunatic, and that wasn’t far behind Brooke’s 1.48:35 time of 2015.

Carey football primed for Friday kickoff with North Gem Speed, depth, experience are Panther pluses

By JEFF CORDES Express Staff Writer

Speed, depth and experience are all good things to have and cards to play when a high school football team begins its competitive season.

The Carey High School football has those attributes in 2017, and hopes those pluses add up to a winning hand.

Coach Lane Kirkland’s Carey Panthers open their eightgame regular-season slate Friday, Aug. 25 with a 7 p.m. home eight-man grid game against the North Gem Cowboys from Bancroft. It is preceded by a 4 p.m. junior varsity contest.

Sawtooth Conference East Division power North Gem (5-3 last fall) defeated perennial Sawtooth West contender Carey (7-4) by a 14-12 score last September in Bancroft.

And so Kirkland’s Panthers will be seeking redemption for that loss on Friday night.

Carey, with a sizable turnout of 34 players, is ready for the challenge. Indeed, Kirkland said the team’s motto for 2017 is just that—“What doesn’t challenge us, won’t change us.” He added, “I’m excited to see the growth in the kids.”

The 17th-year Carey coach said about his offense (41.6 ppg last fall), “We have a lot of team speed and skill players to work with. We have a new offensive line, which will be fun to work with and train up.”

Carey returns its starting quarterback from last season, senior Houston Hennefer (22 touchdown passes, 14 conversion passes), and its leading scorer, senior Kaden Koudelka (14 TDs and 96 points).

“I expect Houston to lead us with his arm and the guys to work hard for each other and succeed together,” said Kirkland, who lost his top offensive linemen, Nik D’Orazio and Chayton Castle, to graduation.

Carey will also need to replace the contributions of allaround star Toby Whitworth.

He tallied 13 touchdowns and 92 points as a senior in 2016, giving him 240 points over three years as a Panther.

Other impact players returning are seniors Tanner Mecham and DJ Parke.

Incoming players expected to step in for major roles are seniors Hayden Wayment, Trevor Kirkland and Raymond Peck, junior Porter Mecham, plus sophomores Brigham Parke and Carson Simpson.

Executing the fundamentals is important in football, and Kirkland expects that to happen on defense. He said, “Better communication and trust are areas that need improvement. Fewer missed tackles and better pass defense are needed.”

Carey’s defenses have allowed 14.6 ppg, 14.4 ppg and 13.5 ppg over three seasons—a big reason the Panthers have put up 7-4, 9-2 and 9-2 records and brought home third-place State 1A Division 2 playoff finishes three straight years.

“We have some great depth on defense and look to keep everybody fresh and fast,” said Kirkland. “We won’t be as big as last year, but our speed will compensate. We have a lot of skilled, fast, aggressive kids.”

The Dietrich Blue Devils (9-1 last fall), last year’s Sawtooth West champs, have lost “Players of the Year” Jake Smith, Garrett Astle and Porter Robertson to graduation.

Carey’s Sept. 29 home game with Dietrich could decide the Sawtooth West title and No. 1.

Actually, Carey finished higher than Dietrich in the state playoffs last November. Carey dropped its semi-final game 36-20 to eventual state champion Salmon River (11-1), while Dietrich fell in the quarterfinals 28-26 to Butte County.

Carey’s 2017 Homecoming grid game is Friday, Sept. 22 against the Castleford Wolves.

The Panthers will play Hansen, Dietrich and Richfield at home this fall, along with road games at Camas County, Lighthouse Christian Academy and Murtaugh. All six of those games are divisional contests.

Once again, four teams will qualify from the eight-school 1A Division 2 Sawtooth Conference West Division for the Oct. 27 state play-in games.

This year’s Sawtooth East Division, which also gets four teams for the Oct. 27 play-in games, has only five schools.

That’s because the Clark County Bobcats and Water-

springs Warriors from the East Division have petitioned the Idaho High School Activities Association to combine their football programs this fall by forming a co-op.

Other East teams are Butte County of Arco, Rockland, North Gem and Mackay.

Kirkland said, “We have to be much focused and disciplined.

If the seniors will work together and do everything they want with dedicated focus, I believe we will have a shot at being the conference champions.”

Here is Carey’s 2017 roster.

Position symbols are Running Back (RB), Quarterback (QB), Tight End (TE), Defensive Line (DL), Offensive Line (OL), Linebacker (LB), Defensive Back (DB) and Safety (S).

Head coach—Lane Kirkland (17th season, 133-35). Carey is 109-24 over the last 12 seasons (58-8 at home) and is 90-15 in regular-season play since 2005. Previously Kirkland coached one year, 1999-2000 in Oakley.

Wolverine boys’ soccer hits the road to start 2017 campaign WRHS program under Monjaras has big turnout

By JEFF CORDES Express Staff Writer

If you do well during the season in the 4A Great Basin Conference boys’ soccer battles, the most successful teams usually seem to have a devilish time in the postseason league tournament.

Call it parity, call it whatever you like—it’s a tough league.

Just ask Wood River coach Luis Monjaras, whose most recent experience in the 2016 GBC tournament featured the kind of black magic that other league coaches have been enduring over the last decade.

Last fall, Wood River used penalty kick shootout wins over Canyon Ridge and Jerome to clinch the regular-season title of the sixteam GBC and carry the No. 1 seed into the single elimination consolation bracket tournament.

But Wood River’s good fortune ran dry in the tournament, indeed a fate every other GBC front-runner has suffered since 2009— when Jerome was the last team to win the regular season title and tourney.

Twin Falls beat Wood River 1-0 in the championship game for its second straight GBC tourney title, and then Jerome eliminated the Wolverines from a state tournament berth with a 2-1 victory, in Hailey.

Jerome (16-6-1) continued its “upsetting” pattern by knocking off Twin Falls (14-5-0) by an extratime score of 0-0 (5-4 kicks) in the consolation championship game of the State 4A tourney in Idaho Falls.

It was a downbeat ending for an outstanding Wood River soccer program, which boasted 23 wins in 32 games between its varsity and junior varsity squads. The stingy Hailey defense (12-4-1) yielded only 17 regulation goals in 17 games.

Now it’s a new soccer season, the ninth for Monjaras (88-47-16) in his Wood River head coaching stint.

First up are three road games, at Canyon Ridge in Twin Falls today, Wednesday for the GBC opener followed by an non-conference twinbill at Rigby Friday, Aug. 25 and in Pocatello against the Highland Rams Saturday, Aug. 26.

So the Wolverines are hard back at work with the objective of winning the GBC tournament for the first time since 2010 and making sure of the program’s sixth state tournament visit under Monjaras.

Monjaras said, “Our varsity squad is young, talented and ready for the challenges our district play will bring.

“Our goal is to take it one game at a time and develop as we move into district play and then concentrate on making another state appearance.”

Monjaras said the coaching staff including JV chief Juan Salamanca was glad to have 60 players trying out for the varsity (25 players) and junior varsity (31).

There are seven sliding between varsity and JV. “Our junior varsity squad is big in numbers which will provide rotating rosters and opportunities for the players to play so

they can continue to develop their skills and speed to move up to the varsity level,” Monjaras added.

First home games are Monday, Aug. 28 against the two-time defending Great Basin champion Twin Falls Bruins at South Valley Sports Complex, Hailey.

After playing four of its first five games on the road, Wood River’s varsity will have seven of its remaining 10 games on its home pitch. This year’s State 4A tournament returns to Caldwell’s Brothers Field Oct. 19.

Top seniors on varsity are first-team All-Great Basin selection Jose Quiñonez (a team-high 16 goals last fall, 29 career) along with second-team All-GBC Taylor Koth. Koth is a three-year defensive standout.

Also back are junior Lucas Beste and senior Tiernan Naghsh, last year’s Most Improved award winners for Wood River. Jovani Armenta, now a junior, was one of two MVP Midfielders last fall. Mario Macias was a top defender.

There are 10 sophomores and four freshmen on the 25-player varsity. One of the talented ninth graders is forward Audari Tamayo.

Monjaras said, “Thanks to our wonderful community organizations Sun Valley Soccer Club and La Liga for providing great opportunities for the kids to develop the game.

“These are becoming great feeder programs for the middle school and high school teams.”

Here are this year’s rosters.

Abbreviations are forward (F), midfielder (MF), defense (D) and goalkeeper (GK).

BOYS’ VARSITY Head coach—Luis Monjaras (9th year, 88-47-16, five state tourney appearances, 3rd State 4A 2012, 2nd State 4A 2013).

Assistant coaches—Eric Anderson, Juan Salamanca and Dan VandenHeuvel.

Volunteer coaches—Luis Valladares and John Koth.

WRHS girls hold off Blackfoot 3-1 in soccer opener

A winning weekend debut for Cutthroat soccer teams

Wood River hosts Canyon Ridge today

Community School teams dominate McCall Vandals

By JEFF CORDES Express Staff Writer

Senior midfielder Lupita Patlan scored two goals and senior forward Emily Thayer added a single score leading the Wood River High School girls’ varsity soccer team to a 3-1 nonconference home win over Blackfoot on Friday in Hailey.

Wood River tallied three unanswered goals after Blackfoot senior Elexus Nochebuena slipped behind the defense to score the game’s first goal in the second minute.

Payton Bacca’s long distance shot in the fifth minute was saved by the Blackfoot goalkeeper, but the ball bounced free along the goal line and Emily Thayer cleverly kicked it over the line with her heel for a 1-1 tie.

In the 38th minute, Patlan penetrated inside the 18 and drilled her first goal for a 2-1 Wood River lead at half. Patlan’s insurance goal in the 65th minute came after a nice cross pass from junior Nataley Santacruz.

Wood River senior goalkeeper Scout Hutchinson came up big several times early in the second half with the Wolverines nursing their 2-1 halftime lead.

She got her hand on a dangerous shot by Blackfoot’s Ashlyn Smith in the 49th, and dove to stop Nochebuena in the 52nd.

Leading the Hailey defense were senior Cristina Vega, junior Evi Johnson and sophomore Kate Stone.

Wood River coach Doug Stouffer said, “This was a good game for Wood River showing some grit in the process. To have the first goal of the new season go against Wood River and not let that goal get the team down says something about the desire for these girls.

“The girls want to start off on the right foot and they showed some resil-

Thayer scored Wood River’s first goal of the season, cleaning up after a distance shot by Payton Bacca. ience for the first game of the year. It’s a good thing because we have to put our attention to Canyon Ridge right away.

Wood River (1-0, 0-0 league) opens its Great Basin Conference league slate today, Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. with a home game against Canyon

Ridge (0-1, 0-0) at South Valley Sports Complex soccer field.

Canyon Ridge lost 8-0 to 5A Madison on Friday in Rexburg.

The Wolverines will entertain the 5A Highland Rams Saturday at 12 noon on the Hailey pitch.

Community School girls’ and boys’ soccer teams dominated visiting McCall-Donnelly during last weekend’s season-opening non-conference games at the Dumke Family Community School fields in Elkhorn.

The Cutthroat boys (2-0), led by the scoring of sophomores Ridley Lindstrom and Cash Dart, polished off the Vandals 9-1 and 10-0. The Cutthroat girls took care of McCall-Donnelly by scores of 4-1 and 5-0.

Coach Richard Whitelaw’s boys opened their season Friday with a 9-1 victory over McCall-Donnelly.

“Men of the Match” were sophomore defenders Max Moss and Shea Brokaw.

Eight different Cutthroats scored goals—Ridley Lindstrom (2), Fletcher Stumph, Henry Cherp, Cash Dart, Finn Mallinen (first varsity goal), Charlie Stumph, William Everitt and Toby Rafford (first varsity goal).

Besides Mallinen, the Cutthroat players making varsity debuts as starters were Trevor Harmon, Seamus O’Connell and Kai Nelson.

In Saturday’s 10-0 win, Dart notched a three-goal “hat trick” while Lindstrom and O’Connell (first varsity scores) tallied two goals apiece. Single goals came from Fletcher Stumph, Hunter Diehl (first varsity goal) and James Everitt.

“Men of the Match” Saturday were goalkeepers James Everitt and Mallinen.

Junior Lily Fitzgerald piled up four goals on the weekend for the Cutthroat girls, including three in Saturday’s 5-0 shutout win. Adding goals were Christine Estep and Ella Viesturs (2 assists). Caroline Estep earned an assist.

Coach Kelly Feldman’s “Player of the Game” for the Cutthroats was Fitzgerald.

The Cutthroats boasted four different goal scorers in Friday’s 4-1 triumph—Fitzgerald, Addie Rafford, Viesturs and Chloe Tanous. Assisting were seniors Kate Weatherholtz and Viesturs.

“Player of the Game” was junior Eliza Marks.

McCall scored its only goal of the weekend on a penalty.

Coming up are High Desert Soccer Conference home games against Buhl Tribe Thursday, Aug. 24 and the defending High Desert Soccer Conference tournament champion Bliss boys Tuesday, Aug. 29.

The Cutthroat girls play Buhl at 4:30 p.m. Thursday followed by the boys’ game at 6:15 p.m. Those starting times are reversed against Bliss on Tuesday—the boys playing at 4:30 p.m. and the girls at 6:15 p.m.

Wolverine football ready to rumble Idaho prep football begins with busy weekend in Pocatello Continued from Page 18 in 2016. Canyon Ridge (3-6, 1-4) and Burley (1-8, 0-5), losers of 17 consecutive league games, rounded out the Great Basin.

Wood River also has the Fruitland Grizzlies on its 2017 schedule, at Fruitland Sept. 15.

Last fall, Fruitland (9-2) advanced to the State 3A championship game for the 10th time in 11 years, making off with a 35-28 win over Shelley (11-1) for its first state title in six years.

Pocatello is Thursday’s opener Looking at Friday’s opener against 4A Pocatello, Wood River is going up against a program that has struggled particularly on defense over the last four seasons.

Pocatello had 20 seniors last fall, and 26 juniors.

Stilling said, “They have a lot more coming back than we do, so we should have our hands full. They are balanced between run and pass on offense and aren’t very predictable. We should see a heavy dose of the blitz from their defense.”

With his young team and lack of returning leaders, Stilling said, “I worry about how we will get off the bus after a three-hour ride and be ready to play on Thursday.”

The Indians got most of their offense via the pass in their season-opening 35-34

overtime loss to Wood River in Hailey last August. Senior quarterback Will Schumber completed 27 passes for 315 yards and five touchdowns.

But Wood River dominated ball possession in that close game, outrushed Pocatello 185-71 and ultimately made the plays when needed for Hailey’s first-ever win over Pocatello.

It was Wood River’s fifth consecutive season-opening victory on the gridiron.

Pocatello’s last winning season was 5-4 in 2012. The Indians were 2-7 in 2013, 4-5 in 2014, 3-5 in 2015 and 3-6 last fall. But the Indians, improved on defense last fall, could have been better than .500 if they had reversed overtime losses at Wood River 35-34 and 16-13 to Madison.

Wood River’s 5:30 p.m. game with Pocatello is the first of a Thursday night doubleheader that is scheduled to be web cast by idahosports.com. The Burley Bobcats play Century of Pocatello at 8:30 p.m.

Thursday.

And then the 10th annual Rocky Mountain Rumble High School Football Extravaganza kicks into gear on the Holt Arena indoor field Friday and Saturday, Aug. 25-26. There will be six games, all streamed on idahosports.com.

Minico of Rupert plays Grantsville, Utah on Friday at 5:30 p.m. followed by State 3A runner-up Shelley going against Green Canyon, Utah on Friday at 8:30 p.m.

On Saturday, it’s Rigby playing Douglas (Nev.) at 10 a.m., Lewiston going against Carson City (Nev.) at 1 p.m. and Rocky Mountain playing Spanish Springs (Nev.) at 4 p.m.

Highland of Pocatello meets Galena (Nev.) on Saturday at 7 p.m. to finish the onslaught of eight games in three days.

Here is Wood River’s 2017 varsity roster. The Wolverine JV has its first game today, Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Phil Homer Field against the combined Pocatello JV/ freshmen.

Position symbols include Offensive/ Defensive Lines (OL/DL), Running Back (RB), Defensive Back (DB), Safety (S), Quarterback (QB), Linebacker (LB), Wide Receiver (WR), Split End (SE), Tight End (TE), Punter (P) and Placekicker (K).

Sophomores (5)—Aaron Andazola (OL/LB); Brendan Cox (OL/DL); Crow Macdonald (QB/LB); Andrew Nelson (QB); and Brandon Uhrig (RB/LB).

WOLVERINE NOTES—James Nelson, father of Wood River starting quarterback Andrew Nelson, was the starting Wolverine quarterback as a senior in 1985 during John Blackman’s first season as the Hailey head football coach. In that year, Wood River (4-4) won three of its first four games and posted the program’s first .500 season since 1980.

James Nelson completed 87 passes for 1,253 yards and 8 touchdowns that season. Wood River started it off with a 42-8 win at Filer that snapped a 15-game losing streak, and the Wolverines ended the campaign with an exciting 16-12 home victory over arch-rival Buhl. The winning points came on a 90-yard kickoff return by Virgil Cook, assuring Wood River of its first-ever home football win over Buhl.

Nelson’s main passing targets that season were Tom McCracken, Cook and Travis Peterson. Jamie Hjort was 13-for-16 in extra-point kicks and was the primary Wood River kick returner. Top running back with 521 rushing yards and 6 TD was Lowell Anderson. The second-leading tackler was linebacker Baba Street, who is now one of the longest-serving Wood River football coaches.

Local actors to read ‘Molly Sweeney’ Thespians with Sun Valley Performing Arts Center—formerly nexStage Theatre—will present a reading of Irish playwright Brian Friel’s play “Molly Sweeney” on Tuesday, Aug. 29, at The Community Library, 415 Spruce Ave., Ketchum, at 6 p.m.

The 70-minute, two-act play tells the story of Sweeney, who was born blind, as she prepares for a surgery that would restore some of her sight; her husband, Frank, who pushed her into the operation and relates his view of her journey; and her oncefamous eye surgeon, Mr. Rice, who comments on Frank and Molly and relates his fears in handling the operation.

The play features Aly Wepplo, David Janeski and Scott Creighton and is directed by Jonathan Kane.

The reading is free to attend and is the first in a series of free play readings.

“Brian Friel has been recognized as Ireland’s greatest living playwright. His latest work, ‘Molly Sweeney,’ confirms that Mr. Friel still writes like a dream,” The New York Times wrote in a review.

Rocker Lukas Nelson and his band Promise of the Real will return to Sun Valley to perform a pair of concerts over Labor Day weekend, including a free concert after the Wagon Days parade.

‘Something real’ coming to the valley Lukas Nelson to perform at Wagon Days and Sun Valley Pavilion

By ANDY KERSTETTER Express Staff Writer

Singer-songwriter Lukas Nelson will return to Sun Valley for two days of country rock music over the Wagon Days weekend, Sept. 2-3.

Son of country legend and Ameri-

cana icon Willie Nelson, Lukas Nelson wi l l bri ng h i s b a n d Promise of the Real back to the valley for a free concert on Saturday, Sept. 2, at about 3 p.m. on East Avenue in Ketchum as part of Ketchum’s annual Wagon Days celebration.

The family-friendly event will take place just after the Big Hitch Parade and will feature dancing and food by local vendors.

Then on Sunday, Sept. 3, the band will rock out at the Sun Valley Pavilion, with rock duo Jamestown Revival kicking off the party at 6:30 p.m. Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real will take the stage later, with the concert over by 10 p.m.

Tickets for the Sunday concert range from $25 to $100, with the $100 VIP tickets including a meet-and-greet with the band. An after party will take place later that night at Whiskey Jacques’ on Main Street in Ketchum.

Despite back-to-back concerts in town, each night promises to offer quite a different musical experience.

“I’m sure we’ll come up with a different set list for both nights,” Nelson said in a phone interview.

The band is promoting its new album, “Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real,” which is now finished but won’t be publicly released until Aug. 25.

The band’s fifth studio album, “Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real” is its first album produced with Fantasy Records.

Nelson describes the upcoming album as a continuation and maturation of the band’s sound, which he describes as “cosmic country soul.”

“It’s just a better representation of our sound,” he said of the 12-track album. “It has a little more weight to it.”

He said the album is a combination of elements of all the band’s influences, like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, with whom the band will be touring in Europe, and, of course, his dad, Willie Nelson.

He described his previous album, 2016’s “Something Real,” as “pure rock ’n’ roll with a little country.”

Nelson will draw from his forthcoming album as well as older classics for both shows in Sun Valley.

Perhaps it’s no surprise that music runs in his family. The band’s album See NELSON, Page 5

Stone artist creates eye-catching and functional pieces

By ANDY KERSTETTER Express Staff Writer

Jeff Homchick knows a thing or two about stone.

After a career of more than 30 years in the stonework and stonemasonry business, he can tell you what to expect if you want a lattice of white onyx or which semiprecious stones would look best inset in a stone panel on a yacht.

An artist in his own right, Homchick has spent years crafting delicate stone art as well as functional stone pieces for homes and yachts. Nearly a year ago, he hatched an idea to display his and others’ stone art for the public to see.

“Nobody ever gets to see it, which is part of the reason I’m doing what I’m doing,” he said.

About a month ago, Homchick—who has been a part-time resident of the valley for the past 12 years—opened Stone Art Gallery in the Walnut Avenue Mall on Sun Valley Road to display his work and the work of fellow artists whose work he admires, particularly Tucson, Ariz.,-based artist Zee Haag and renowned stone artist Luigi Talara of Italy.

“About eight or nine months ago, I was doing some pieces already, and I’d already collected quite a few things and I said, ‘Zee, let’s do a gallery,’” Homchick said.

Homchick, whose primary residence is in Seattle, started coming to the valley in 1978 to stay with a friend in his Trail Creek cabin to go skiing, and he’s come here ever since.

He originally got into stonework because his first job at 16 involved doing marble work under the direction of elderly Italian master craftsmen.

“Stonework can be an art in itself.”

Jeff Homchick

Stone artist and owner of Stone Art Gallery “Once I had done several highprofile projects, I was approached by a couple of architects, and that’s when I started my own business in 1985,” he said.

He labors over some projects for years, such as a 29,000-squarefoot home for which he created 16 fireplaces over a period of six years.

“I pretty much set up shop right there,” he said. “Each of them was a picture of a different castle somewhere in Europe.”

Though his livelihood had started mostly as creating functional stoneware for homes, Homchick always had a passion for art.

“I’ve always painted and drawn since I was a little kid,” he said. “My great aunt was an oil painter, and at the World’s Fair in 1962 in Seattle, she won second place in a painting contest. She was very talented, and I must have gotten some of that in my genes.”

Many of his siblings as well as his daughters are artistic, too.

“There are artistic tendencies throughout the family,” he said.

It wasn’t long after he was introduced to stonework that Homchick started trying to be more artistic with it.

“I almost immediately did more artistic stuff once I got the feel for the medium more—I’d built my own chess board right away, for example,” he said.

To satisfy his creative urges, he wanted to create more artistic pieces with the medium of his livelihood.

“When I started doing stonework, that kind of pulled me away from art,” he said. “So then I kind of came back and said I need to start doing more of this, because it will make me happier.”

He said even functional stonework can be an art in itself.

“It’s just putting veins together and looking at stone and how it can be used in an effective way, and it’s still evolving,” he said.

book wins literary award Julie Weston’s ‘Basque Moon’ honored by women’s writing association

By ANDY KERSTETTER Express Staff Writer

Hailey resident Julie Weston’s book “Basque Moon” has been honored with Women Writing the West’s 2017 WILLA Literary Award for historical fiction.

Women Writing the West, based in Denver, awards the best literature written about the American West by women each year. Categories are contemporary fiction, historical fiction, original softcover fiction, creative nonfiction, scholarly nonfiction, poetry and children’s/ young adult fiction and nonfiction.

The honorees are chosen by professional librarians, historians and university-affiliated educators. The winners will be honored during the organization’s annual conference in Tucson, Ariz., on Oct. 26-28.

“Basque Moon,” published in 2016, is part of Weston’s series of mysteries featuring protagonist Nellie Burns, a photographer in the 1920s, and her dog, Moonshine.

The book takes place Courtesy image in the Stanley Basin, where Burns travels Hailey resident Julie Weston is the author of with sheep rancher Western mystery novels “Moonshadows” and its Gwynn Campbell and sequel “Basque Moon,” which was recently honhis Basque sheepored by Women Writing the West. herder to help Burns photograph scenes for a railroad brochure to lure tourists to the West. Things go awry when they discover that one of the rancher’s sheepherders has been murdered.

The story involves fighting between shepherds and cowboys along Fourth of July Creek in the Sawtooth Valley over grazing grounds, and the book draws heavily on Basque sheepherding culture, hence the book’s title.

Weston is already at work on the third book in the series, which she said will be set in Craters of the Moon National Monument. She said she doesn’t yet know how long the series will be, and that she will continue writing as long as she can.

“These books are so fun to work on, and it’s so much fun being in this world of the 1920s,” she said. “I think I’ll just keep going.”

Nelson Lukas Nelson’s new album to be released later this month Continued from Page 1 “The Monsanto Years,” which they recorded with Neil Young, was a collaborative effort with his brother, Micah, and Lukas Nelson was practically born with a guitar in his hands.

“I always knew I was going to be a musician,” he said. “I started singing when I was about 6 years old.”

Not long afterward he picked up the guitar and fell in love with it.

“I was obsessed with it,” he said.

Far from begrudging growing up in his dad’s shadow, Nelson embraced his father’s music and has been strongly influenced by it ever since.

“He’s definitely a part of my musical life,” he said.

Though he sang, played guitar and wrote songs from a young age, it wasn’t until after high school that he decided to pursue music as a vocation.

By ANDY KERSTETTER

American Ballet Theatre dancers Blaine Hoven and Misty Copeland practice for the Ballet Sun Valley ballet festival, happening this week at the Sun Valley Pavilion.

hough the Great American Eclipse has passed, its influence is still being felt throughout American culture as artists respond to the celestial event, as they are in an all-new full-length ballet premiering in Sun Valley on Thursday, Aug. 24, at 7:30 p.m. at the Sun Valley Pavilion.

Part of the inaugural Ballet Sun Valley ballet festival curated by American Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer and Sun Valley native Isabella Boylston, the ballet was inspired by the solar eclipse.

The ballet, choreographed by ABT dancer Gemma Bond, will feature five male and five female dancers—though Bond describes the ballet as genderless.

“They’re just dancing buddies,” she said.

The ballet will play on the building tension leading up to the eclipse, reflecting the fear that primitive tribal cultures might have felt at the sudden disappearance of the sun, and will resolve with the sense of people coming together to celebrate, as modern people do for eclipses like the one here.

Bond said she has used some traditional ballet styles, inspired by classic Russian and English ballets, though they are assembled in a new way.

“I feel like I’m doing more traditional ballet, and that in itself is almost pushing the boundaries, considering so many other young choreographers set out to try to make a new vocabulary,” she said.

The dancers performing in the production are ABT’s Boylston, Marcelo Gomes, Cassandra Trenary, Catherine Hurlin, Lauren Post,

The ballet, choreographed by ABT dancer Gemma Bond, will feature five male and five female dancers.

Tickets start at $25 for lawn seating, with pavilion seating costing between $125 and $500. Kids 12 and younger get free lawn tickets. Visit sunvalley.ticketfly.com or call 208622-2135 to buy tickets. For more information about the festival, visit balletsunvalley.com.

Boylston said it’s unusual in the ballet world for a ballet of such high caliber to bring star dancers from so many different companies together, especially for a world premiere ballet.

“We’re bringing a world-class event. You don’t even see this is New York,” Boylston said. “It didn’t really hit me until I was talking at a cocktail party and describing all the dancers that are coming and I thought this is actually crazy—you never see this anywhere.”

The first section of the evening will feature six shorter performances by pairs of dancers, including a performance of “Raymonda” pas de deux by Boylston and Alban Lendorf of Royal Danish Ballet, an excerpt from Massenet’s “Manon” by Lauren Cuthbertson of The Royal Ballet and Xander Parish of The Mariinsky Ballet and a dance routine set to Louis Armstrong’s “You Rascal You” by ABT Principal Dancer James Whiteside.

The cars were the stars

At the studio’s mercy

By Craig W. Armstrong The fascination people have with auto racing and all things four-wheeled can come from many places. Maybe they grew up with someone who had a passion for cars, maybe they discovered it in books or magazines, or maybe they fell in love with the cars that were the stars of their favorite TV shows and movies.

If you’re a TV or movie cop, private eye or just a plain tough guy, you need a cool ride. An iconic car that is still talked about today is Steve McQueen’s 1968 Mustang GT in Bullitt. McQueen spent the movie racing through the streets of San Francisco chasing bad guys and being extremely cool.

If you wanted to see a tough guy in a cool ride every week, then all you needed to do was tune into The Rockford Files.

Private eye Jim Rockford solved crimes in his tan Pontiac Firebird from 1974 through 1980. Another TV cop with a sense of style in cars was detective Dave Starsky from the series Starsky & Hutch.

Referred to by his partner “Hutch” as the “striped tomato,” Starsky’s car was a red 1974 Ford Grand Torino with a white stripe. At the height of the show’s popularity, every kid in America and more than a few grown men wanted that car.

Another crimefighter with a sense of style was private investigator Thomas Magnum of the hit series Magnum PI. While technically Magnum didn’t own the car, he was known for racing through the streets of Hawaii in a red Ferrari 306 GTS. In the series, the car was actually owned by Robin Masters, a famous writer and Magnum’s benefactor. Not to be out-cooled by Magnum, Miami detective Sonny Crockett raced down bad guys in his white Ferrari Testarossa. As an undercover cop in Miami Vice, Crocket needed these awesome wheels to maintain his cover.

In these shows, the cars stood out but were never intended to upstage the

heroes. But, in the case of Knight Rider, that was idea from the start. KITT or Knight Industries Two Thousand was a black Pontiac Trans Am with artificial intelligence and every option a crimefighter could need. KITT’s driver and best buddy was Michael Knight. KITT had it, all including a personality, and was often the voice of reason to Michael’s dive in head first style.

While famous TV cars had the advantage of being seen every week, many cars from the movies gained stardom from just a few hours on the screen. Arguably the most famous was the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am driven by Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit. The Bandit made bootlegging seem cool, in large part due to his car.

The DeLorean may have failed as vehicle, but it made a name for itself as a time machine in Back to the Future. The design of the 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 may have been ahead of its time, but it fit right in as a time machine. And what would a list of movie cars be without the Lovebug? Disney scored with The Love Bug in 1969. The vehicle was a 1962 Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of its own. Audiences loved it so much it the bug saw several sequels.

TV and movie producers learned early on that having a cool car in a production was never a bad idea. For many fans, this is where their love of cars started.

Under the stars

By Tresa Erickson Did you ever camp out in your backyard as a kid? Had a good time, didn’t you? Backyard campouts make great outdoor fun for kids and adults alike. There’s nothing like chasing fireflies, telling stories and sleeping under the stars in your own backyard with all of the conveniences of home just steps away. Now that your kids are a little older, you’d like to give them the pleasure of camping out in your backyard. Here are some tips.

Start by getting out all of your camping gear. You can use almost everything, and in doing so, you will give your kids an idea of what a real campout would be like. You will definitely want to pitch a tent for the little ones and use sleeping bags. Try to do this a week ahead of time to air out the tent and give your kids the chance to check it out.

If permitted, you may want to make a campfire, or at the very least, build a pretend campfire out of sticks and crumpled tissue paper. This will provide the opportunity for you

to discuss fire safety with your kids and prepare them for a real campfire later.

To make the experience even more authentic, you might want to set up a CD player somewhere and play a CD of nature sounds. Get your kids familiar with the sounds of nature from the chirp of crickets to leaves rustling in the wind.

No campout would be complete without good food. Make a feast in your kitchen and bring it outdoors, or roast some hot dogs and marshmallows on the campfire or grill.

Top off your night outdoors with some games. Chase down some bugs and identify them. Take a nature hike, tell stories around the campfire or sing some camp songs. Snuggle up in your sleeping bags, gaze at the stars and identify all of the constellations you see.

Backyard campouts are intended to be fun. Not sure your kids will have fun? Ensure they do by allowing them to invite over a friend and preparing for the experience adequately. Set up all of the equipment ahead of time, create a savory menu and plan for some awesome games.

Imagine being rewarded for a role that was originally intended to serve as punishment for you? That very well may have been the case with actor Clark Gable in the 1930s. At the time, Gable was under contract to MGM, and when he grew tired of being typecast and started to complain about it, legend has it that the studio loaned him to the minor studio Columbia. Others say that MGM had no work for Gable and loaned him out so they could make a few bucks off him while they continued to pay his salary. Either way, Gable ended up at Columbia where he was given a leading role in the romantic comedy It Happened One Night. Neither Gable nor his co-star Claudette Colbert were thrilled to be in the film, but they made the best of it, allowing the magic to happen and each of them to win an Oscar for their work in the film.

Gable was just one of hundreds of actors in the 1930s that were under studio contract as part of the star system. MGM was largely responsible for starting the star system to ensure they would have “more stars than there are in heaven.” Contracts generally dictated actors’ every move professionally and oftentimes personally. Most contracts contained a morality clause to ensure actors stayed on the right track and maintained a good image.

The majority of contracts were held by the Big Five: MGM, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Warner Brothers and RKO Radio Pictures. Together, they owned most of the movie theaters in the United States and wielded a lot of power in the industry. A-list movies were generally reserved for studio-owned theaters.

In order to show A-list movies, owners of other theaters had to purchase the movies sight unseen, along with additional B movies and shorts.

To ensure they always had a pool of talent to draw from for their films, the studios hired talent scouts to look for individuals with star potential, individuals like Lana Turner who happened to be discovered while sipping soda outside of a diner. Once in the system, these individuals would be transformed into star material through extensive training, grooming and promotion. Acting, dance and voice lessons were a must, accompanied by loads of time in the salon chair and on the promotion bus.

Most actors signed on for seven years with a studio. After six months, the studio could renew their contract or release them if they did not meet expectations. Actors with promise were given minor roles and then supporting and starring roles as their fame rose.

Because they were under contract, actors were forced to take whatever roles were offered to them at whatever studio they were assigned.

They were paid to do, not to think, as Gable once remarked.

While actors under contract were guaranteed work and a salary, there were drawbacks to the star system. Many actors like Clark Gable were typecast. They were good in a certain type of role and relegated to that role time and time again. It didn’t matter if they detested the work or longed to do something else. Actors were at the mercy of the studio, forced to comply with whatever the studio demanded. This resulted in regular public appearances and many intrusions in their personal lives.

Not everyone enjoyed the star system, and many fought against it, including Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, James Cagney, Marilyn Monroe and George Raft. Some stars lost the battle and were punished for their actions, either with an inferior role, minor studio work or suspension. While they might have wanted to walk, actors under contract had a hard time getting work elsewhere without their studio’s consent.

As television made its way into American living rooms in the 1940s and 1950s, the star system began to fade away. With fewer films to produce and profit from, keeping a large pool of talent on staff no longer made sense.

Contracts were phased out, allowing actors to choose their own film roles and start their own production companies. The once glamorous star system was no more.

It’s like a science fiction movie

By Ronda Addy For years, there has been promise of an automated home. While automation is available on a small scale, the ability to integrate all of the different systems is not.

There are, however, countless home automation technologies on the market. As you select one for your home, you will need to decide if you want the system to apply to the whole house or just a particular room and if you want to have the system professionally installed or do it yourself.

Your “smart home” can be designed fully automated, meaning every appliance is controlled or you can choose to just automate the lighting or the entertainment equipment. Through home automation, you can control your lighting, air conditioner, furnace and security devices, as well as your fire and carbon monoxide detectors, entertainment systems and your drapes. With all of the different technology available, you can choose a highend system that works with computer software and offers voice command features or one that uses a control panel.

With a home automation system, safety and security are by far the biggest rewards. You can get motion, sound and lighting detectors connected to a computer program 24 hours a day that will automatically notify the police and fire departments if anything happens. With a high-end system, you can even monitor the system yourself from anywhere with Internet access.

Once you’ve made the decision to automate, you must determine what to automate. Arm yourself with paper and pencil and go from room to room choosing what you want to automate. Do you want to automate the phone system, the drapes, the lighting and the security system, or just

the home stereo or theater equipment?

After you have decided what you want to automate, you need to determine how you want to trigger it. Do you want the trigger to be manual with the flip of a switch? Do you want the trigger to activate when certain conditions are met, like a particular temperature is reached? Do you want the trigger to be voice activated so it turns on and off when you tell it to? Do you want the trigger to be activated when you call home and activate it over the phone?

Along with determining how you want the system to be triggered, you need to select a triggering method. There are advantages and disadvantages to each method, so choose the one that will work best for your situation. These are just some of your options: • Hardware-based controller. This simple yet reliable controller offers limited trigger options because of the small central processing unit (CPU). It is designed to be installed in a utility closet or basement.

• Software-based controller. This flexible yet powerful controller works well with different types of technology. For better reliability, a dedicated personal computer should be used.

• Hybrid (hardware/software). This reli-

able yet powerful controller offers the ease and flexibility of a softwarebased system and the ease and reliability of a hardware-based system. It costs more, but often provides more features.

Some hybrids can even designed with embedded software to support voice recognition and remote access.

The next decision you need to make is what kind of control technology will work best for you. Some of the more common types include: • Ethernet. This control technology works well with security cameras, infrared and digital, and makes for a fast, reliable system as long as there is access to wireless network technology. Otherwise, the system can be expensive to install in existing homes.

• Hard-wired. This control technology works well with lighting and security devices, and makes for a fast, reliable system. As with Ethernet, hard-wired systems can be expensive to install, especially in existing homes.

• Infrared. This control technology works well with drapes and home entertainment equipment, and makes for a reliable system with a somewhat limited range. The system operates by “line of sight” signals, and extending its range requires more

equipment and extra expense.

• Powerline. This control technology works well with motion sensors, lighting, appliances and HVAC, and makes for a somewhat less expensive, easy-toinstall system. The system operates by signals broadcast through a home’s existing power lines.

• Serial. This control technology works well with security, digital I/O and HVAC, and makes for a reliable system. The system transmits control signals through serial cables, some of which can be limited in range, and like Ethernet and hardwired systems, it can be expensive to install in existing homes.

• Wireless. This control technology works well with motion sensors, cameras, appliances, HVAC and lighting, and makes for a less expensive, easy-to-install system.

The system uses radio frequency transmissions to broadcast control signals, but because of the newness of the technology, the number of devices is limited.

When looking for a company to install your automation system, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Find out what kind of customer support the company offers. Does it provide fast parts replacement, for example, or will you have to go through the manufacturer? Does it have repair people to send out, or will you have to go through the manufacturer? If you are considering installing the system yourself, be sure to check local building codes regarding what you need to do.

A basic system can cost you around $2,000, while a state-of-the art system can cost over $100,000, so choose wisely. You will be living with it for a long time. Don’t be fooled into thinking a state-of-the-art system will add value to your home, especially if it is complicated to operate.

Cursed? Perhaps.

By Tresa Erickson Making movies is not nearly as glamorous as some people might think. Cast and crew spend long hours everyday, on and off set, to see a film to fruition. The process rarely goes smoothly, and sometimes the bumps in the road are so big the film is claimed to be cursed. Here is a brief look at some of the films that have made the cursed list over the years.

Apocalypse Now Produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the film was beset with problems from the get-go. The film was shot during the monsoon season, resulting in the destruction of several sets, budget overruns and numerous delays. Actors Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando had their own issues to contend with, adding to the chaos. Sheen suffered a heart attack and had to take time off to recover, while Brando showed up late and forgot his lines repeatedly, reportedly due to his excessive drinking. Coppola, himself, added to the chaos, trying to figure out the ending.

The Crow The film was bumpy throughout. Not only did crew members suffer serious injuries during filming, but star Brandon Lee died on set in the very scene his character was set to die. When the gun was shot, a dummy bullet fragment lodged in the barrel discharged, hitting Lee in the chest and fatally wounding him. Rumors circulated that

Lee’s death had not been accidental, but a police inquiry ruled that out. The film was completed using a double, and many critics hailed Lee’s performance as the best of his short career.

The Exorcist Depending upon the source, four to nine people died during the year-long shooting of the film.

In addition, some sets caught on fire mysteriously, a couple of cast members were severely injured and several other eerie events occurred. So much happened that an exorcism was reportedly done on set. The madness continued at the screening of the film with reports of people becoming hysterical, fainting and vomiting.

Godspell The cast numbered just 10, and of those, four died at a relatively young age. Jeffrey Mylette died from AIDS in 1986 at age 36. Merrell Jackson died from brain cancer in 1991 at age 38. David Haskell died from a brain tumor in 2000 at age 52. Lynne Thigpen died from a brain hemorrhage in 2003 at age 54.

was supposed to take but didn’t crashed, killing all of the people on board. After filming, special effects director John Richardson was in a car accident that killed his girlfriend. A road sign at the crash site in Holland read, “Ommen, 66.6km.” The troubles continued with the filming of the second film. The whole cast came down with the flu at one point and the best friend of William Holden was stabbed to death while on vacation.

actors in the film franchise died.

Dominique Dunne, who played Dana Freeling, was murdered by her boyfriend in 1982. Heather O’Rourke, who played Carol Anne Freeling, died from septic shock in 1988. Julian Beck, who played the Reverend Kane in the second film, died from stomach cancer in 1985. Will Sampson, who played the Native American shaman in the second film, died from post-operative kidney failure in 1987.

The Passion of the Christ

Rebel Without a Cause

There were not any deaths on set, but assistant director Jan Michelini was struck by lightning twice during filming in Italy. The second time, James Caviezel, who played Jesus in the film, was also struck. Caviezel also dislocated his shoulder, suffered hypothermia, developed a lung infection and came down with pneumonia during filming.

He was accidentally whipped as well and experienced frequent headaches and skin infections from the grueling, eight-hourlong stints in the makeup chair.

The film was a success, but star James Dean did not live long enough to see it. The actor died in a car crash in 1955 at age 23. Costars Nick Adams, Sal Mineo and Natalie Wood also died before their time. Adams died of a drug overdose in 1968 at age 37. Mineo was stabbed to death in 1976 at age 37. Wood died in a suspicious drowning accident in 1981 at age 44. As though that were not enough, many of the individuals who reused parts from Dean’s wrecked Porsche Spyder either died or suffered injuries in traffic accidents.

The Omen

Poltergeist

Perhaps no film appears more cursed than The Omen. Two months before filming was set to begin, the son of star Gregory Peck committed suicide. During filming, Peck’s plane and screenwriter David Seltzer’s plane were both struck by lightning. Director Richard Donner was in a car accident on the first day of filming and later his hotel was bombed. The jet the film crew

As with The Omen, eerie things happened on and off set during the making of the Poltergeist films. JoBeth Williams, who played mom Diane Freeling, reported going home at night and finding pictures on the walls hanging upside down.

Oliver Robbins, who played Robbie Freeling, claimed to have been really choked by the puppet clown prop. Several of the

Superman Long before any of the Superman movies were filmed, suspicions mounted around the TV portrayal of the character. George Reeves, who played Superman on TV, died in 1959 at age 45 from a gunshot wound.

Officials ruled his death a suicide but rumors circulated that it was murder. Richard Donner directed the first Superman film starring

Christopher Reeve. While nothing out of the ordinary happened on set, several of the film’s stars experienced troubles later. Christopher Reeve, who played Superman, was thrown from his horse in 1995 and was a quadriplegic until his death in 2004. Margot Kidder, who played Superman’s love interest Lois Lane, was involved in a serious car crash in 1990 and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1996. Richard Pryor, who appeared in the third film, died from a heart attack in 1995.

Twilight Zone: The Movie Actor Vic Morrow and child stars, Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen, were killed in a helicopter crash during filming. After two pyrotechnic charges hit too close together, the helicopter spun out of control and landed on top of the actors, killing them instantly.

The parties at fault were charged with manslaughter but later were acquitted. To prevent the tragedy from happening again, firmer rules were put into place regarding children on movie sets at night and in special effects scenes.

These are just some of the films that routinely make the list of the most cursed. There are many others, including Rosemary’s Baby, directed by Roman Pulaski. A year after the release of the film, Pulaski’s wife, Sharon Tate, and their unborn child were killed by the Manson family. Whether these films are truly cursed or just victim to happenstance is a matter of opinion.
