Rhythm and RideBy KAREN BOSSICK
Skiing put Sun Valley on the map. Now cycle enthusi-asts want to put its pedal
pushing in the spotlight.Sun Valley has some of the
best bicycling in the world—in-cluding 500-plus miles of single tracks in the immediate area, several thousand more miles of trail just over the hill, a bike path that extends 22 miles through three communities and an active Safe Routes to School program, they say.
And people like Jim Keating, who heads up the Blaine County Recreation District, and Greg Martin of the Wood River Bicycle
Coalition think the outside world needs to know that.
The Sun Valley area will take a major first step to boasting about its amenities beginning tonight with the inaugural Sun Valley Rhythm and Ride Bike and Music Festival. The festival will feature five days of various bike events, yoga, music and trail running.
Many of the events are free. And practically all hold excite-ment for spectators.
“I don’t know of another bicycle festival like this,” said Martin, whose coalition champi-oned the recent construction of 15 miles of new single track west of Hailey and state-of-the-art
bicycle pump parks in Ketchum and Hailey. “Most bicycle festi-vals tend to focus on road biking or mountain biking. I’ve never seen one like this that has ev-erything from a fat tire rally to a pump track championship.”
Martin said the efforts to improve cycling in the valley won’t end Sunday night when the festival’s over.
The Coalition is working with the Bureau of Land Manage-ment and other groups to build a dirt path along Croy Road that bikers can ride from the Carbonate Ridge trailhead to the BMX track near Rotarun Ski

these lupine grow in profusion on the back side of Dollar Mountain. Last week, in a headline on the front page over a flower photo, we incorrectly identified the flowers as Lupine; it should have read Camas Lillies. thank you to all who brought this to our attention. the staff at theweeklypaper

Grand opening of the Hope Garden
The Hunger Coalition, together with representatives from the City of Hailey and the Blaine County Commissioners,
invites you to officially welcome The Hope Garden to downtown Hailey. Festivities begin at 4:30 p.m., this Thursday, June 24 with live music from Julie & Julia, the official Ribbon Cutting with accompanying speeches, and plenty of opportunities to browse the new garden beds.
Executive Director for The Hunger Coali-tion, Jeanne Liston, emphasizes the role The Hope Garden will play in addressing the needs of the hungry in Blaine County. “The Hope Garden is about more than food, it is about community. We have an opportunity here to nourish bodies and minds - to bring people together in the process of growing and harvesting vital fresh produce, to feed those in need with wholesome, nutritious foods, and to provide hands-on instruction on growing your own vegetables, herbs and fruits.”
Work Parties will continue to take place at the corner of Walnut Street and First Avenue throughout the summer with all will-ing hands welcome. For more information, contact Garden & Education Manager, Hallie Reikowsky at 788-0121 x311 or [email protected].

Free shows jazzin’ up Ketchum’s Rotary park
By KAREN BOSSICK
The Paul Tillotson Trio will kick off six weeks of free Jazz in the Park concerts
on Sunday.Tillotson, a jazz musician from
New York City, will play from 6 to 8 p.m. at Ketchum’s Rotary Park on Warm Springs and Saddle roads.
Weather permitting, that is.“We had a snowstorm dur-
ing the opening concert last year, and I must have had 30 to 50 people call and ask why we cancelled the concert,” said Dayle Fowler, a Hailey woman who puts up the money for the concerts. “I told them I did not want to sit on my blanket in the snow.”
Other headlinersJuly 4—Pianist Alan Pennay with
vocalist Cheryl Morrell.July 11—the Sun Valley Latin Jazz
Ensemble featuring Russ Caldwell on drums.
July 18—Kevin Kirk’s onomatopoe-ia, a huge group from Boise.
July 25—John Northrop’s Jazz Rangers.
Aug. 1—Idaho Falls Jazz house Band. this large band of 17 musicians paid their own way over last year be-cause they wanted to play Sun Valley and they became an instant hit.
The crowds at the concerts are growing every year, said Will Caldwell. But you won’t find them trying to com-pete with the Sun Valley Summer Sym-phony.
Schwab loves helping peopleOne thing you can
say about Sam Schwab is
that he is incred-ibly popular. Re-cently graduated from Wood River High School, and recovering from a serious motor-cycle accident, it was almost impossible to conduct this interview with all the people stopping by to say hello and see how he was doing. An outpouring of love was com-ing his way and, once you get to know him, you can see that it is well earned.
Born and raised in the Wood Rivr Valley, Schwab loves it here. “I couldn’t think of a better place to grow up in. My aunt lives next door in Bellevue and she is the greatest. My next door neighbors, Jamie and Lyman Bridge, have been very influ-ential in my life. They’ve been like my second family and have gotten me through a lot of tough times and they’ve always been there. People want to get out of here and leave, but I’ve never wanted to be anywhere else. I don’t think it’s too small. My friends and I do a lot of exploring and this is an amazing place. We go off-roading in jeeps, hik-ing and camping and there are just so many cool places to go. We always go back.” He contin-ues, “I love the people here and they’ve always been so good to me. Everyone cares for everyone else and I have so many amazing friends. It never gets old for me. I guess I’ve always been a small town guy.”
Schwab loved his experience at Wood
River and gave special mention to Principal John Blackman for help-ing him, and to his teacher Jesse
Neet who “was like my best friend.
Whenever I needed to talk he was always there
for me and was always so positive. I could never thank him enough for what he did for me. Wood River was a great learning environment and I had a great time with everything to do with school.” While at Wood River, Schwab was honored with the Bob Shea Inspirational Award, the Wolverine Spirit Award, the Pat Schwab Memorial Award and the Citizen of the Year Award.
His plans for college have been put on hold to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a firefighter. “I love the sense of helping and being there for people. I love the thought of service and it warms my heart to help people. This Valley has provided so much to me that I want to give back to the people that have helped me so much.” He added, “I’m also an adrenaline junkie and this is the safest thing you can do with all the precautions and training you go through. Fire science and forest fires have always been a tremendous interest of mine. To see men and women of this Val-ley going into burning buildings or fighting hillside fires is an amazing feat that they do and I’ve always wanted to be a part of it. Now I can be. I trained this
spring with Wood River Fire and Rescue, which is the only EMS provider in the county. I made the decision to train with them because there are so many more opportunities and jobs through-out the Valley. I’ve started as a paid volunteer firefighter and then hope to become a paid firefighter. It’s a challenge and hard work to become full-time, but each month I’m a step closer. I want to become a career fire-fighter and that’s what every-thing is pointed to.”
In the meantime, Schwab keeps himself very busy with his lifelong love of music. His mother is a music teacher and he specializes in the trombone as well as drums. Among the groups he is involved with are the Concert Band, Jazz Band, Dixieland Band, Concert Choir, captain of the Drumline as well as singing with the B-Tones. He was awarded the Spirit of Ana-heim Award for his music which had a day named after him at Disneyland. “It was an amaz-ing experience that a day was dedicated to you at the happiest place on Earth.
“Playing music is the most incredible feeling in the world. I love to perform because it is such a high-charged adrenaline situation. It is really amazing to be confident in front of a lot of people and coming out of a great performance knowing that you played to the best of your ability.”
You can be sure that whatever Sam Schwab tackles, he will always do it to the best of his abilities.

Scavenger hunt and dinner
By KAREN BOSSICK
Quick! Can you tell what Ketchum business is represented by a tiny
gift-wrapped box containing a picture of New York City?
Bing-a-dink-ding! If you guessed Wrap City, that is.
You’ll have a chance to pursue clues like that—and easier—as the Lee Pesky Learning Center expands its annual Marvel-ous Minds Scavenger Hunt to include families.
The learning center is staging its family friendly scavenger hunt for free this year from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, July 10. Teams of up to eight players—children included—are invited to race through the streets of Ketchum, solving clues, testing their ingenuity and their ability to think outside the box.
The hunt sign-in will take place at the new Ketchum Town Square across from Atkinsons’ Market in Ketchum. But people should register in advance by calling 208-333-0008.
“We’re really reaching out to the families this year since so many of our clients are young children,” said Mary Rau, who is helping to organize the event.
Having the scavenger hunt in the morning will enable sup-porters to go home and shower before returning for the dinner and live auction later that night, said Rau.
The dinner will be held at 7 p.m. at The Community School in Sun Valley. The live auction will include such treasures as an exotic Costa Rican getaway in a designer’s private home, a week in an exclusive Bermu-dian beach front retreat and a stay at Montana’s Yellowstone Bend Ranch, a private hunting and fishing preserve that once hosted President Obama.
Cocktails and a Silent Auciton will begin at 5:30 p.m.
Proceeds from the benefit go to The Lee Pesky Learning Center, which has outreaches in Ketchum, Hailey, Boise and Caldwell. The center provides services for youth and adults who learn differently. It also has expanded into teaching children social awareness and social skills.
Tickets are $150 per person and include cocktails, appetiz-ers, dinner and a few surprises, including a performance by opera singer and LPLC board Member Lara Nie.
Those who can’t attend in person may bid online at www.biddingforgood.com/leepesky
For information, call 208-333-0008 or visit www.lplearning-center.org

“Wow, you can see the inside of its head!” “Each of those rings is one year? that tree is ancient!” these and many more observations were made at the kick-off week of Wild Lunch. the first week was a success—over 50 kids came to learn about nature at Wood-side Elementary.
Students focused on growth and plants in the first week. they viewed time-lapse photography of seeds growing; compared horns and antlers; and made rubbings of a 200-year-old Douglas fir “tree cookie.” they ex-plored how flowers can transfer color,
and dissected flowers to learn about the reproductive parts.
Next week participants will look at animal skulls and hides to explore the predator/prey relationship, as well as look at aquatic invertebrates and the insects that kids will collect in the nets.
there are three more weeks worth of exciting topics to teach such as night flyers and beavers. Please join the Environmental Resource Center for Wild Lunch tuesdays and thurs-days, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Woodside Elementary. FREE!

GameFaceGear, Doug Niedrich and Nick NicholsAn entrepreneur
who has cre-ated a scal-
able product has a good thing. Doug Niedrich and Nick Nich-ols, co-founders of GameFaceGe-ar, are two such entrepreneurs. Their “good thing” is a uniquely designed face concealment cap that has a variety of markets, including sports enthusiasts, action-hero worshipping children, the mili-tary and law enforcement, and professional and collegiate sports teams.
Founded in 2008, GameFace-Gear’s first product was QuikCa-mo, a camouflage sportsman’s cap. “Its most obvious use is for hunters, but it’s also great for birders and nature lovers who want to ‘disappear’ in the forest,” explains Doug. “It’s a quick way to camouflage your face when you need to. Otherwise, you can just wear it around town.”
Imagine you’re hunting (or birdwatching) and suddenly want to be inconspicuous to wild-life. The QuikCamo cap has a face-covering flap with eyeholes; with a flick of the wrist, the flap drops down for immediate face concealment. When it’s OK to re-emerge, another flick of the wrist allows the flap to fall easily back into the cap. The flap can also be left down to cover the back of a person’s neck and protect from sunburn.
The product is clever and high quality. A soft, top-of-the-line camouflage material, treated to be water-resistant and anti-mi-crobial, is bonded to a breath-able, moisture wicking liner. The high-end version of the cap has eyeglass apertures, anti-fog capability, and screened ear and mouth holes. What more could a person want in face conceal-
ment? The QuikCamo cap
was born in Nick’s mind five years ago. “I saw a bowhunter lose an animal fumbling with his camo and started thinking
about the problem.” He shared his solution with Doug, a longtime friend who saw its wide-ranging market potential. The two
improved the product, created a makeshift
pre-production sample, applied for patents, and traveled to Asia where they signed up a Vietnam-ese manufacturer. They have been funded in the six figures by personal loans and several local angel investors.
Two years after its founding, GameFaceGear has four models of the QuikCamo cap in 12 seasonal and regional patterns. It has sold 30,000 units through Cabela’s and a host of “mom-and-pop” stores, as well as devel-oped co-branding agreements. GameFaceGear’s newest offering is the Bill Ghilly line. It includes the MothWing and the 3-D Leafy Bill Ghilly, so-called “because of the little leaves that project from it,” explains Doug.
GameFaceGear’s next product line, DugNik hats, will be for fun and play. If you’re a trick-or-treating kid, the cap will enable you to transform into your favorite action hero while treating and then easily flick the false face out of the way to eat your treasure. Sports fans will be able to present a uniform “face” to their favored team from the grandstands.
Since its founding two years ago, the company has handled two big and very different chal-lenges. The first was Nick’s 2008 onset of spinal cerebellar ataxia, a progressive degenera-tive disease. “We’ve adapted by
just making sure I do the things I can do,” says Nick, “but it hasn’t upset the apple cart.” The business excites him. “We’ve both always been self-employed,” he says, “but we’ve never had anything so big in our grasp. It’s been great to turn our idea into a viable product on this scale.”
The other challenge, of course, has been the economy. “Consum-ers are watching their pennies,” says Doug. “But even with a bad economy, we’re making forward strides,” adds Nick. In fact, their last trade show in Las Vegas re-confirmed the appeal of DugNik caps. “We were approached by Disney Home Entertainment,
Mattell, and Spin Master – the really big licensers,” Doug re-ports. Now, the pair must decide whether to license or go it on
their own. Not an easy question, but not a bad one either to have to ponder!

At Friday’s regular monthly meet-ing, the SVKCVB Board of Directors voted to streamline the board by downsizing to ten directors – to better facilitate increased engagement, com-munication, and program implementa-tion. the new board will immediately formulate a plan to ensure an effective transition between current and future marketing initiatives, in order to keep the momentum going.
“It is critical to refresh and expand this area’s marketing to increase the awareness of the Sun Valley area and spur economic growth,” commented Rob Santa, President of the SVKCVB.
“the CVB board thanks the many civic and business leaders who con-tinue to give their time, expertise, and vision to make this a vibrant place.
our collective goal is to support an expanded marketing effort, ensure visitors have an amazing experience, and to make the best use of funding in these challenging times.”
the members of the reconstituted Board of Directors for the SVKCVB are: President; Rob Santa – Sturtevant’s Mountain outfitters; Vice-President; Steve Kearns – Kearns, McGinnis, Van-denberg, Inc.; tim Silva - Sun Valley Resort; Deb Fox - Resort Quest Sun Valley; Cindy Forgeon - Best Western Kentwood Lodge; toni Bogue - toni’s Ice Cream; Scott Desserault – Epic Quest/Sun Valley heli Ski; Greg Pe-terson – Lallman, Felton, Peterson & Pierce P.A.; teresa Beahen-Lipman – Wood River YMCA; Peter Scheurmier - Avis.

the Sun Valley Center for the Arts and the Environmental Resource Center are once again teaming up to present a weeklong overnight camp for seventh to ninth graders that com-bines art, nature and science.
held at the Central Idaho 4-h Camp 17 miles north of Ketchum, Eco Camp: Wild Art is an overnight field ecology and natural history program that uses art as the lens to explore nature, giving young teens the opportunities for self-expression and discovery that they crave. the Center will provide daily art workshops in small groups in a variety of mediums. Field instructors will then
guide participants in applying those new techniques to complement our study of ecology, geology and natural history. there will be open studio time each day (and campfires every night), and the program will conclude with a gallery show for family and friends where the artists can proudly display their pieces.
ECo Camp: Wild Art will be held Monday–Friday, August 9–13. Camp is open to kids entering grades 7–9 and costs $400 for the week. to register or for more information, including infor-mation about scholarships, please visit www.ercsv.org or call 208.726.4333.
SVCA and ERC team up for eco camp

the Arts is a great honor and so impor-tant to our mission and our fundrais-ing efforts.”

this is the last day of the sun’s va-cation through Gemini. the visits have been lively, the conversation and de-bate enlightening. Studies were fur-thered, and delightful information has been shared. tomorrow the sun en-ters Cancer, and we will start to figure out how to incorporate what we’ve learned into our homes and our daily habits.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You could get a cancelation, and this frees you up. Anyway, rushing around is so uncool. You’ll like your life so much more when you leave the extra time you need for goofing off.
tAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get the chance to demonstrate how responsible you are. the positive re-ception you will get afterward feels good, but not nearly as good as the self-respect you get from a job well done.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When the creative inspiration strikes, you strike back by capturing the moment in a most unique way. You are playing a magical game with the muses, and that is why they will continue to favor you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some-times your people lean on you to such a degree that you feel like you’re doing all the work. You’re not doing all of it, though -- just most of it. Do less, and they’ll kick in with more help.
LEo (July 23-Aug. 22). Your secrets
are safe with you. Not so much with your friends. this is no time to spill the anecdotes of your inner world, not even those that seem silly and harm-less. things get twisted in the retell-ing.
VIRGo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Support your friends by attending their gather-ings and contributing to the conversa-tion in interesting ways. this isn’t as easy as it sounds. You might have to do some research to find appropriate conversational fodder.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-oct. 23). You keep comparing yourself to people who are much more experienced than you. It helps to drive you forward, but it can also be discouraging. For now, stop the comparisons and just do your best.
SCoRPIo (oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re likely to go on a wild goose chase and wind up with not even so much as a feather. Are you better for the quest? It may not feel like it, but now at least you know which avenues not to turn down next time.
SAGIttARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can only do what you can, and that is enough. You won’t believe it, and you’ll be tempted to tire yourself out trying to push harder than is nec-essary. Be smart. Get your beauty rest instead.
CAPRICoRN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re probably still unsure about the best next move. And here’s something
else to think about: there’s someone
out there who would feel honored to be your mentor. Do you have the cour-age to ask?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your next move will be a strategic one. Do-ing the right thing will be only slightly harder than doing the convenient thing, but it will save you from awk-wardness and pain in the future.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Ask-ing yourself to do too much at once is mean. You wouldn’t do it to a child or even to a full-grown loved one. And right now you’re a bit fragile. Give yourself the extra care you need.
toDAY’S BIRthDAY (June 20). Your new year is marked by a powerful in-ner confidence. You no longer feel you need validation from outside sources, and ironically, praise and appreciation are lavished on you over the next 10 weeks. A long quest culminates in July. September brings a bonus. october is for building business. Sagittarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 35, 29, 31 and 15.
FoRECASt FoR thE WEEK AhEAD: the fantastically popular party at Stonehenge is not the game in town when it comes to celebrating the summer solstice. Summer solstice cel-ebrations happen all over the globe. Although many celebrations are not timed exactly with the solstice, they have their roots in this momentous annual event. For instance, European countries celebrate midsummer on various dates, each in their own way, with festivals, fairs and feasts. In Lat-via, thousands of people eat Janu cheese, drink beer and sing hundreds of Latvian folk songs. In Germany, there will be wreaths and bonfires, and in Italy and Ireland, there will be fireworks. the Mongolians will be busy getting ready for the festival of Naadam, which comes soon after the solstice, featuring games and ceremo-nies that date back to ancient times. In one such event, more than a thousand wrestlers fight for the championship. their colorful names, such as “Eye-Pleasing Nationally Famous Mighty and Invincible Giant,” disclose their glorious hopes for the competition. As the sun appears to stand still in rever-ence of this important marker in her journey, it’s the ideal time to pause to ponder and name your own hopes for the next half of the year.

Exit Through The Gift Shop reflects artWhat is art?
That is the question
that has followed us through the ages. Is it in the eye of the beholder or is it something that has been determined by the tastes of the com-mercial marketplace? This is also the question posed by the new documentary, Exit Through The Gift Shop, and it is answered by one of the most brilliant documentaries ever made.
Created and directed by the notorious Banksy, a provocateur of immense proportions whose street art is cherished by collec-tors around the world, the film is not always what it seems to be and, according to widespread Internet speculation, may be Banksy’s greatest prank to date. As Banksy states in the film, “It means art is a bit of a joke,” as well as labeling the movie the “world’s first street art disas-
ter film.” And this, of course, coming from
the genius who hung his own work in some of the great-est museums in the world—placed expertly between masterpieces. He
also made a tell-ing statement about
Guantanamo detainees in, of all places, Disneyland,
and created a million British pounds with the face of Prin-cess Diana plastered where the Queen should have been.
Exit has the interesting prem-ise of being about an obsessive nut case named Thierry Guetta who compulsively films every-thing and then meets a French cousin, Space Invader, who takes him into the netherworld of street artists. Along the way we meet Shepard Fairley, famous for the Obama hope poster, and follow Guetta’s endless pursuit of the elusive Banksy. Bansky has never been seen before and ap-pears hilariously in this film in a
hoody, with his face blanked out and his voice distorted. Guetta eventually meets his hero, as-sists in his antics, and captures it all on thousands of hours of tape. Failing to produce a prom-ised documentary, Banksy takes over, and decides to make a film about Guetta. As he says in the film, “It’s basically the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.”
Based on a dare, Guetta turns himself into Mr. Brainwash, and the rest is art history. The plot twist is too good to give away, but suffice it to say the art world will never be the same again. Exit Through The Gift Shop is a marvel and provokes thought and conversation while at the same time leaving you rolling in the aisles with laughter.

Hill without having to share the pavement with motorists driving 45 miles per hour.
The extension of the Toe of the Hill Trail from Wood River High School to Bellevue along the foothills will be built as soon as a land swap with the Bureau of Land Management and Wood River Land Trust is signed.
The Coalition is partnering with the Ketchum Ranger Dis-trict to upgrade the Eve Gulch trail, a steep trail in Adams Gulch near Ketchum that was damaged in the Castle Rock Fire. The new trail, to be com-pleted this summer or next, will be designed as a flow trail with high speed berms and jumps.
The Coalition has also been working to preserve existing trails, such as Curly’s behind
Easley Hot Springs. And it’s pressing for additional improve-ments, such as a shoulder along the Highway 75 from the down-town Ketchum to Saddle Road, along with a bike lane from the Hailey Park and Ride lot to the Carbonate Ridge trailhead on Croy Road just west of Hailey.
Martin says he’s already drawing up a wish list for ways to expand the events at next year’s Rhythm and Ride Festi-val.
“I’d like to see some larger competitions that would bring recognition to this area,” he said. “I’d like to see some stage races, too, where you spend five or six days in Ketchum and every day you ride another trail. That would bring a lot of business to the area.”
Even the strongest bicyclists can only pedal so long. Then it’s time to boogie. The bicycle festival is offering two very danceable concerts, as well as a jazz concert allowing people
to wind down at the end.FRIDAYZap Mama with Marie Daulne at 7 p.m. at Hop Porter
Park in HaileyLead singer Marie Daulne, who was born in the Congo but
raised in Belgium, describes the mix of world music, fusion, Afri-can a capella, soul and hip-hop that she sings Afro-European.
“The voice is an instrument itself. The original instrument. The primary instrument. The most soulful instrument,” she says.
And Daulne, who has perfoermed such venues as Austin City Limits, is certainly watchable, thanks to the wardrobe of hats and boas that follows her around in a truck. No Hillary Clinton pantsuits for this woman!
Tickets: $20 for Sun Valley Center for the Arts members, $25 for others and $5 for kids 12 and younger, available at sunvalley-center.org or 726-9491. Coolers and blankets are allowed but no dogs, high-backed chairs. Food and drink will be available from vendors.

a recipe…from my table to yours
A small river that’s big on life“If there’s magic on this
planet, it is contained in water.”
-Loren Eisley
High water (Payette), cold temper-
atures, wet weather and the economy have conspired to delay the start of the rafting season till about now, at least for outfitters. The Middle Fork season will get underway in earnest in late June, and it’ll be a great time to go, with water levels around 5 feet and dropping. By mid-July, rafters will have to fly in to Indian Creek, about 30 miles downriver.
In 2000, as I stood above the dramatic loading ramp of Boundary Creek, getting ready for my first look at the ‘real’ Idaho, little did I know that many consider the Middle Fork of the Salmon River America’s perfect river. The oft-cited reason is that one can float its entire 104-mile length, and so experience this tributary as a whole. Thus, it becomes a metaphor for the journey of life.
That insight may deepen our ap-
preciation for the river, but it’s all the other experiences it
offers that make it exciting, educational, or a holistic experience. This is literally an adventure that is fun for the whole family. One fellow from Boise regularly
goes down the 314 rapids in his wheelchair anchored
in the outfitter’s drift boat. This run isn’t just about the thrills, spills and chills of the whitewater. Like the journey down the Grand Canyon of the Colorado
(Arizona, not Texas) it is an encounter with the life of the
Earth in all its glory. After a week or three on these rivers, the joy and grandeur of living is re-affirmed. Then you turn on the TV and see the Gulf of Mexico, the death of the Earth you perhaps just met and learned to love, and its heartbreak. It is as if we live in two divergent universes, one foot in each, and soon will have to decide in which to stand. If the deci-sion is made for us, we’re not going to like it.
The Middle Fork has something for everyone. The river’s great personal-ity is shaped by all the changes it
takes us through. There’s geology, the changes in terrain and ecosystems, different types of rapids, great fishing holes, numerous hot springs, water-falls, evidence of forest fires past and present, pioneer history, hermits, murders, Indian and military lore, X-rated Shoshone pictographs, hunting in autumn and the great diversity of flora and fauna.
For most people, the greatest satis-faction comes from seeing and camp-ing among animals. The birthing and life-sustaining water concentrates many of Idaho’s species in one place. Along this narrow corridor and its drainages, animals live and visit. Spawning salmon and trout are vis-ible in the clear, shallow water. Fish attract the playful river otter. Ouzels cruise the surface for skippers and flies. Geese, mergansers and chukars are training their young, as are the bighorn sheep, down for a drink. Whitetail deer wander through camp in the early morn’, as bleary-eyed as the rest of us. Water-loving rattlers laze in the thickets. Songbirds signal coffee’s on.

Chapter 18
After the first two braves shimmied through Chalk Cave’s teensy rock mouth
opening, we sent in three more pairs of well-equipped students each succeeding hour. I had mixed feelings about bringing communications into the cavern, as caves are well known for be-ing hallowed sanctuaries from the powerful bombardment of our communication spectrum. However, since our tech students had invented this novel antenna, which they had spiked into the soil above Chalk Cave’s elongat-ed passageways, this would be a good means for us to test and fine-tune their new underground radio transmission system.
Meanwhile, Amy and I climbed back up the ridge and over the dually van to discuss what to do about its flat tire. I was hesitant to hoist it up on a jack, since it was bulging with the extra weight of heavy silver; when Amy observed that since it was only one of four rear tires, we could still operate the pan-technicon by shredding the rest of the ruined tire clean off. See-ing no better tool than the spear point, which first caused the flat, we used it to slice the remaining rubber remnants away. Next,
I shot a Polaroid of the spear point’s black mirror face, and posted it to my adventurous Max Rudolph Facebook page. Then we used the same weapon to burrow a hole in the hard earth to return the artifact where it belonged—hopefully burying it deep enough so nobody else would experience a flat tire there for another five hundred years.
The afternoon was turning late, when we received commu-nication that the first group had discovered the Salinger and mys-terious map parchments Lana and I had hid in the lava tube last year—and they would soon be returning with it. They also reported that the strange lumi-nous humming was continuous throughout the cave depths and they couldn’t pinpoint the exact source from where it stemmed. As Amy and I waited along with the remaining schoolchildren, we studied the vast landing where our community’s wise elders had rallied together as a cohesive team and slated the new airport to be. Here we marveled over some of its pros and cons. Then we popped the question to the children: what they thought if we were to work out a unique deal with the authorities whereby our class could have a supporting role with the new airport. “What do you mean, like a de-icing/car wash for airplanes or some-thing?” quizzed one of the kids.
What the children didn’t know was that since last year, after coming into possession of the enlightening maps that our crew was about to extract from the
cave, I had worked out a legal claim over the forty untaken acres. Standing under the an-cient wooden arch gave a better perspective, as from the light there we could see that the lava terrain of our new land clearly held a darker color then the surrounding sun-parched earth did. I remembered hearing that during the Borah earthquake of ’83 there were some heavy rum-blings in the Picabo desert and I wondered if the earth here at the time had expanded unnoticed with a small lava flow, thus giv-ing birth to this uncharted land. Later on, an INL seismologist confirmed this to be true and right now beautiful Amy’s star-struck eyes practically popped out when I formally announced that this land ripe for claiming next to the new airport would soon be ours and the silver safely tucked away would fund whatever positive foundation we wanted to construct upon it…
abOUt the aUthOr:Twice, when Jim Banholzer has taken Polaroid photos of indigenous arti-facts, unusually colored swirls, not noticed before, have inexplicably ap-peared in the background. He lives in an old dynamite shack, where he feels fairly safe from the over-bombard-ment of outer-communication influ-ences. Not turning the TV on much, except for baseball or The Discovery Channel, helps this mood. At this stage in his life, Banholzer feels like his man-cave is a good energy spot, somewhat conducive to productive writing.

Bill Sutcliff survives fall
By KAREN BOSSICK
Many people thought Bill Sutcliff was a goner.
But the Ketchum man is expected to make a near-full recovery, if not a full recovery, after falling 20 feet off a roof onto a cement patio.
“A lot of people are still coming up to me all sad because they hadn’t heard that he had pulled out of it,” said Sutcliff’s girlfriend, Narda Pitkethly. “I want to get the word out that Bill is alive and do-ing well. He’s a miracle and it’s because of all the pockets of people praying for him.”
Sutcliff, a native of Ketchum, has been a famil-iar figure around Ketchum his entire 55 years. He has worked as a pharmacist, a fly-fishing guide and a ski instructor and been an active member of The Sun Club.
On June 5, he fell off the roof while washing windows. A co-worker found him lying in a pool of blood and he was Life-Flighted to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise.
Doctors reduced the swelling in his brain and did what they could to revive their comatose patient. But after nine days prospects looked grim enough that they began talking with Bill’s siblings about pulling the plug. Pitkethly cried all her tears and said her goodbyes.
“He’d suffered a concession in a bike accident last summer and told us that he never wanted to be in a situation where he couldn’t fish or ski again so we knew he wouldn’t want to live if it meant being a vegetable. But then one doctor said, ‘Let’s give him 24 more hours.’ And he came to the next day,” said Pitkethly.
Today, Sutcliff is walking with assistance and standing on his own. He likely will have to learn to speak again, said Pitkethly.
But he’s already managed to say three words—words that sounded like heaven to Pitkethly’s ears.
“He said, ‘I love you,’ ” Pitkethly said in a whis-per.

Reynolds wins the Erwin Kett
InvitationalErwin Kett, Hailey, treated students of the
WRHS Chess Club to a relaxing day of chess, free from the competiveness of formal tournaments at his house on Saturday, June 19. Erwin is a long time supporter of the WRHS Chess Club and has volunteered his time and money to support students of the high school in their scholastic chess endeavors. Invited to participate were WRHS alumni and graduates, and friends of the chess club. The venue attracted BSU graduate student and two-time State Champion, Garrett Reynolds and other chess notables such as Jeff Roland, Boise and Jeff Baggett, Ketchum.
The event totaled 18 kids and adults and fea-tured four rounds of G/60 games. G/60 means that each player gets 1 hour to complete their game. These were relatively slow time controls for the high school students, but rather fast controls for the adults who are used to playing four to six hour tournament games. Award sections were broken down into juniors, high schoolers, and adults with all players playing each other in one open section.
The tournament was Rocky Mountain Chess rated with no significant upsets. Garrett Reyn-olds coasted with four wins. In between rounds, he helped players and analyzed games providing welcomed learning. Four players tied with three points: Jamie Lang, Shane Taylor, Jeff Baggett, and Jeff Roland. Former WRHS Champion, Nick Bruck finished in 6th place with 2.5 points, claimed the top high school position. Desmond Porth, 1.5 points finished as the top junior.
Alumni present included WRHS Champion Taylor Walton, Bughouse Champion Kitt Connor, Blitz Champion Danny Mills, and Tyler Jaramillo. Souvenir trophies were provided by Adam Porth and lunch for all players was provided for by the Kett’s. For other local chess events or to support the WRHS Chess Club, contact Adam Porth, 450-9048 or visit the WRHS Chess Club website: www.wix.com/aporth/WRHS-Chess-Club.

80 attended scholarship BBQDollars for
Scholars won’t
appear in the credits be-sides Sean Dahlman’s name when he writes a sweeping mu-sical score for some Hollywood film.
But Dahlman has already acknowledged the organization’s role in making that happen.
Dahlman was one of 27 graduating seniors this year who received scholarships from the Wood River Valley Chapter of Dollars for Scholars.
The students came from all five Valley high schools, includ-ing the new Sage School. They’ll use their scholarships to fan across the country—from Miami International University Art and Design to Humboldt State Uni-versity, from Loyola Marymount University to Boise Medical College.
Dahlman will use his scholar-ship to pursue a major in music and a minor in environmental studies at the College of Idaho where his tuition is $30,000 a year.
Dahlman said he chose the College of Idaho because it is close to home, it’s in his beloved state of Idaho and it offers him the prestige he feels is necessary to compose and write music for films and TV.
“The scholarship made achieving my dream one step closer,” said Dahlman, who has performed with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony School of Music and the Wood River Com-munity Orchestra. “It made a huge difference, especially since my parents are heavily cash-strapped right now. They’re sup-porting three college students.”
About 80 people came together Thursday night at The Valley Club to ensure that next year’s high school graduates will get an extra boost, as Dahlman did.
The Louisiana-style barbe-cue featured a killer barbecue
chicken recipe served up by Paula Rubel. It also offered an array of prizes to bid on, includ-ing a week-long stay in a condo at Vero Beach, Fla., offered up by Sherry Propst, some Christi-na Healy jewelry, and a plethora of attractive floral arrangements fashioned by Sara Petit.
“C’mon guys. It’s so much cheaper than a marriage coun-selor,” quipped auctioneer Phil Doerflein, as he auctioned off the flowers.
“You can’t take it with you so you might as well do something good with it,” said supporter Dayle Fowler.
Since 1995 Dollars for
Scholars has awarded more than $350,000 in scholarships, said organizer Audrey Bashaw. Thursday’s BBQ raised about $15,000 for next year’s scholar-ships.

Wildflower tour on Dollar MountainStory and Photos
By KAREN BOSSICK
Lara Rozzell gets down on her knees along a trail winding across the
backside of Dollar Mountain and squints at a clump of mountain bluebell.
“The bluebells are too big for bees to get to the nectar. So sometimes they take bites out of the back of the flower,” she ex-plains to a group of people that have gathered around her.
“There are more than 350 known bees in Utah. But I don’t see nearly so many here,” the botanist adds.
Rozzell is in the midst of a wildflower hike for the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. Each week she or other naturalists lead the curious tromping through sage-brush, along creeks and in woods on a scavenger hunt of sorts.
Those who attend come away with deeper appreciation for tiny blue-eyed Marys and other things that might otherwise go unnoticed.
“It’s amazing how we have all this out here and I completely ignored it for so long,” says Sun Valley resident Ted Witt. “One day I said: This is ridiculous. If anybody has any natural curios-ity at all, they should check it out.”
Rozzell sits down next to a clump of longspur lupine and talks about their tendency to cross breed as the hikers marvel at the mix of yellow and maroon colors on the flowers which grow in profusion on Dollar Mountain.
What you can’t see, Rozzell says, is the fungi on their roots. Lupine need that fungi to grow, she adds.
The larkspur attracts butter-flies with a very long tongue, Ro-
zzell says, siding up to a purple flower with a notable spur.
“They don’t have the promis-cuous pollen confusion you get when insects frequent dozens of different plants,” she adds.
In contrast, the vetch—a wild sweet pea—is pollinated by in-sects that use their back legs to open the flower and get the food out . As they do, they get dusted with pollen which they then carry to the next plant.
Indian paintbrush adds a splash of color to any landscape. But it’s a partial parasite that feeds off other plants.
Rozzell picks a pink ball off a sagebrush and opens it to reveal a grub inside.
Galls are cancerous growths on sagebrush, she says. But they allow insects a spot to grow in a safe environment before they eat a hole in the gall and fly away. The shape and color of the gall is determined by what insect created it.
Rozzell stops at a tall herba-ceous plant with featherly leaves and white flowers.
She pulls off a leaf and chews on it.
“Sweet cicely is called that be-cause it’s so delicious,” she says as others begin acknowledging the taste of anise. “People use its
roots for medicine. “It’s important to get all the
senses involved,” she adds. “If you just use your eyes, that doesn’t work..”
Don’t try the taste test on a death camas, however, she cautions, pointing to a pyramid-shaped white flower.
The Sawtooth Botanical Garden plans to continue its Wildflower Walks through mid-
July this year because of the prolonged growing season, said Allison Kennedy, the garden’s education director.
The walks are held from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., leaving from the garden at Highway 75 and Gimlet Road. Cost is $10 for garden members and $15 for non-members. To register, call 208-726-9358.
Lara Rozzell talks about the lupine as Gun taylor and Allison Kennedy look on.
this is often called a false dandelion, but many prefer the term “mountain dandelion.”
the vetch is often confused with the lupine.

CSI student Kate Gren is heading back to Poland
“I have been very fortunate that so many people at the College of South-ern Idaho in hailey have made it pos-sible for a foreigner from Poland, like me, to benefit from your education system,” said CSI art student Kate Gren. After completing eight semes-ters of study at CSI, Gren is graduating with an associate’s degree in art. “It has been a wonderful experience. Just last fall I was able to join a photogra-phy workshop in King City, California, and meet a friend and coworker of the great Ansel Adams himself. It’s mo-ments like these that are truly unfor-gettable.”
Gren’s photography won the “Best Photography” award at the CSI stu-dent art show in twin Falls last year, and she was invited to join the Phi theta Kappa organization for her aca-demic excellence. Some of Gren’s pho-tographs are on permanent display at the National Steinbeck Center in San Miguel, California.
Gren has been awarded numerous Blaine County scholarships to help pay her foreign student tuition. She was also awarded the Lauterback Educa-tional trust Scholarship, and the Juliet Boone Memorial General Scholarship. “After graduation I will return to Po-land and open a photography and art studio,” Gren stated. “It has been my great pleasure to meet and befriend many of my professors and I really want to thank everybody for all the help I have received so far.”
In addition to her photographs and drawings, Gren also makes one-of-a-kind masks that were recently dis-played at the Blaine County Campus, and are now available for purchase. “I have to admit that I will be very sad to leave,” Gren added. “I have spent full, challenging years here that have helped push me forward, and evolve me as an artist, as well as a person, to get me closer to my dream career.”
For more information about Gren, summer and fall classes, and scholar-ship opportunities call the CSI Blaine County Center at (208) 788-2033.

Growing roots with Diva Sally DonartThe evergreens that
Sally Donart planted outside
her cabin retreat-like home north of Ket-chum four decades ago now stretch 40 and 50 feet into the blue Sun Valley sky.
The other seeds she planted have grown just as much.
A bill she championed in the 1960s paved the way for mental health services in communities across Idaho. The Crisis Hotline she helped start has grown to be a vital part of the Wood River Valley. And the smart land use practices she championed as editor of the Ketchum Tomorrow newspaper have helped maintain the quality of life in the Sun Valley area, even as growth as taken Ketchum beyond the two paved roads that were here when Donart first came for a visit.
That work was a large part of the reason Donart was inducted into the 2010 Blaine County Heritage Court this month. The Court honors longtime residents for their contri-butions to the Valley.
Donart first began coming to Sun Valley in 1949. She, her attorney husband James and their three children—Gretchen, George and
Sara (Gorham)—would throw a casserole in the
car and drive up from Weiser, staying at a Quonset hut that had been turned into a Ketchum hotel.
On Sunday morn-ings they’d join six
or seven other skiers packing down snow with
their skis on Upper Canyon or Exhibition. And, in return,
Ski Patrol Director Nelson Bennett would give them a turkey and gravy lunch and a free pass to ski the rest of the afternoon.
In 1972 they moved into a home that James built on the site of a former hay farm in the Lake Creek area.
“We came for the skiing and stayed for the people,” says Donart, a shock of white hair falling in her eyes. “One time when it was a poor snow year I asked people at the lifts why they’d come, knowing the snow wasn’t good. They told me: You have the best restaurants in the country and the nicest people.”
“Pappy Rogers—Sun Valley’s first general manager—set the tone for Sun Valley in those years,” Donart adds. “He’d go out and greet guests with such graciousness. Then he’d go into the kitchen and talk to the help with the same degree of respect.”
It was while her husband was serving as state senator that Donart began lobbying the Legislature to establish community mental health centers so people could get help before they needed institutionaliza-tion.
After moving to Ketchum, she helped start the local Crisis Hotline and served as its executive director. She took her turn as president of the Idaho Mental Health Associa-tion and as vice-president of the National Association for Mental Health. And she lobbied the Legis-
lature on behalf of the Idaho Nurses Association.
Donart also took on the editorship of the weekly newspaper Ketchum Tomorrow for two years, using the newspaper to fight for land-use planning to maintain the quality of the Valley.
She prides herself that she was such a stickler for accuracy that the county commissioners once used her article for the official minutes
when they failed to take minutes one time. And she also started the practice of giving out newspapers for free to ensure that the ads got into the hands of the people who needed to see them.
“Our focus was ‘government is us,’ ” she says. “It was important to me to let people know what was hap-pening so they could get involved.”
Sally Donart was recently crowned as part of the 2010 Blaine County Heritage Court, along with Fern Stephenson, Phyllis Stelma and Jean Pyrah.

Donart took a job as head librarian at The Community Library when she decided it’d be nice not to worry about dead-lines.
And at the age of 58 she returned to school at J.F. Ken-nedy University in Orinda, Calif., where she got a clinical psychology degree specializing in relationships, grief and post-traumatic stress.
At 83, Donart has been forced to rein in her activities because of a knee replacement that’s outlived its warranty and an autoimmune disease she believes stemmed in large part from her busyness.
“I was trying to save the world by myself yesterday,” she says.
But she still mans the phones for the Blaine County Demo-crats, which she chaired four years, even though she longs for the slower, more thoughtful pace that preceded the modern-day incivility that she says has resulted from the 24-hour news cycles and battling commenta-tors.
She’s continued to follow conservation issues, donating three acres of land that include the Lake Creek beaver ponds and another 13 acres of nearby hillside to the Wood River Land Trust.
And she still works as a psychotherapist, often while her black cats named Lena Horne and Licorice look on.
“My clients won’t let me retire,” she says. “And counsel-ing has been one of the most interesting parts of my life. I’ve learned so much about human nature. I admire the indomitable spirit of people who’ve been devastated but want to be whole again. The best advice I’ve been able to give them is to stay in the moment. The moment’s what’s here now.”

Ice shows to feature Lysacekby Karen bossicK
Evan Lysacek, who bested Russian competitor Evge-ni Plushenko in a heated
showdown at the 2010 Winter Olympics, will headline the Sun Valley Ice Shows this summer.
And audiences will also get a sneak preview of a 10-year-old who could become the Evan Lysacek and Evgeni Plushenko of the future.
The shows, which kick off on Saturday and run through Sept. 4, will feature most of the 2010 U.S. champions in gold, silver and bronze, said ice show producer Lana Breazeale. They will also feature some old favor-ites like Viktor Petrenko, Brian Boitano and Sasha Cohen.

The Salt Lake City youth started figure skating at 3 and includes the triple toe and triple salchow among his feats. ABC World News featured Chen as their Person of the Week during February’s Winter Olympics in Vancouver. But he won’t be old enough to compete in an Olym-pics until 2018.
Summer cast members skat-ing week in and week out will include Olympic bronze medalist Jozef “Jumpin’ Joe” Sabovcik; Ashley Clark, two-time U.S. Figure Skating Association gold medalist; U.S. senior cham-pion skater Craig Heath, who performed 10 double axels in a
row for Disney’s “Toy Story on Ice”; and Darlin Baker, who has performed with The Ice Theater of New York.
The shows will include a wheel act from Germany, which features a performer doing a number in a wheel seven feet in diameter.
Evan Lysacek, who bested Russian competitor Evgeni Plushenko in a a heated showdown at the 2010 Winter olympics, will perform at the August 14 Sun Valley Ice Show. this summer’s shows will feature most of the 2010 U.S. champions in gold, silver and bronze, and will include some old fa-vorites like Viktor Petrenko, Brian Boi-tano and Sasha Cohen.

Do you have joint or muscle pain? It may be your posture. According to
the Egoscue Method of posture alignment, the “design posture” of the human body is to have the load-bearing joints of the shoul-ders, hips, knees and ankles at 90-degree angles to each other from the front and side views. Stand up and take a look – are your shoulders level, hips square and feet pointed straight ahead?
Deviation from this “design posture” can lead to pain as a result of musculoskeletal dysfunctions and compensa-tions. Dysfunctions are when the body’s musculoskeletal system loses the ability to perform everyday movements for which it is created. This can lead to com-pensations, where the muscles begin engaging in actions and movements for which they are not intended. Since the muscles move the bones, the result of these dysfunctions and compen-sations can be seen in postural imbalances.
The goals of posture align-ment therapy are: rediscover the body’s design, restore function, and return to health.
The Egoscue Method is based on the concept that the body develops and is maintained through motion and responds to stimulus. Postural deviations that cause pain are typically the result of not enough motion and muscle atrophy, or too much of the same, repetitive movements and muscle over-development and imbalances. To return the body to postural balance, the Egoscue Method uses a personal-ized program of stretching and
strengthening exercises called Egoscue-cises (E-cises) that re-mind the body of proper posture and retrain muscle mechanics. The results are pain reduction or elimination, return to an active lifestyle, looking and feeling younger, increased strength and balance, greater energy and more enjoyment in daily activi-ties.

cise Science from the University of Arizona. She has been working in the wellness field for over 16 years.

The report for this week picks up where last weeks report left off. As was the case a week ago Silver Creek remains the main focal point,
so let’s get right to it. There has been an increase in the variety on the menu for the inhabitants of the creek. In addition to the pmd and baetis that have provided the main food source in the preserve, some green drakes and even some callibaetis have appeared. This makes any of these 4 mayflies a possibility, so be prepared as the fish may key in on any one of these. Small nymphs, pheasant rump (a.k.a trout crack), damsel nymphs and beetles are also all good selections.
Downstream of highway 20 the brown drake hatch which had been strong at the beginning of last week took a bit of a break with the cooler temperatures mid and late week. Whether this comes back with some warmer days and evenings is all speculation. It’s certainly possible, but I wouldn’t place a bet on this one. The only way to know is to go.
As far as our freestone streams are concerned, we saw well below average flows around Memo-rial weekend followed by well above average flows the following week. Right
now things are about average for late June and we’ll expect as usual for all of these waters to come into shape in early July. Penny Lake and Lake Creek Lake are stocked and remain great options to have some family fishing fun with the kids. Please stop by Sturtevants

Fishing RepoRtThe “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR JUne 23, 2010 • By: Jim sanTa

by Karen bossicK
In 1993 a homemaker-turned-Episcopal priest became increasingly disenchanted
with the traditional Christian response to subjugate God’s creation.
It made no sense to baptize people by washing their sins with polluted water that itself had been sinned against, rea-soned Sally Bingham.
“We are the people who profess a love of God and God’s world. As such, we must be stewards and caretakers of the Earth.”
In response, Bingham founded a nonprofit organization called the Regeneration Project. The Project created a national Inter-faith Power and Light Campaign to unite all faiths to combat global warming.
Today, more than 4,000 churches, synagogues, Bud-dhist temples and mosques in 23 states practice conservation methods to reduce their carbon footprint, including buying green electricity generated by wind and solar power.
And Bingham—environmen-tal minister at Grace Cathe-dral in San Francisco—is still spreading her gospel of taking care of God’s creation.
She’ll do that Friday night when she talks about “Shared Purpose: A Religious Response to the Climate Crisis” at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 201 Sun Valley Road in Ketchum. The free talk, which examines the link between faith and envi-ronment, starts at 7 p.m.
Bingham will sign copies of
her recent book, “Love God, Heal Earth,” afterwards.
Bingham also will preach at the church’s 8 and 9:30 a.m. services on Sunday.
Bingham is being brought by St. Thomas’ Green Team, which has been working for the past year to reduce that church’s carbon footprint.
“One of the things Sally Bing-ham has said that impressed me is that ‘the environment is an issue of compassion, not poli-tics,’” said Mary Malkmus, who heads up the Green Team. “Here in our Valley we have so much of nature to enjoy. But with that comes the responsibility to pro-tect it for future generations.”
Bingham: creation and environment
Sally Bingham will speak on “Shared Purpose: A Religious Response to the Climate Crisis” at St. thomas Episcopal Church in Ketchum this Friday.

Bold strokes, vibrant colors and a whimsical inter-pretation of her subject
matter define Lane Letourneau’s paintings. Using bright acrylics on canvas, Lane loves to paint all kinds of things. But most of all she loves to tackle animal subjects: from Idaho foxes to sub-Saharan giraffes to neon frogs.
But her painting has to come second to her homework.
Just 10-years-old (turning 11 in June), Lane has been paint-ing and drawing her whole life. She started working with acrylic paints and real canvas a year ago after an art teacher intro-duced her to the medium.
“You can do a lot of things with acrylics,” Lane enthuses. “You can mix different colors and make new ones. I love the effects you can get with the
colors and different sizes and textures of paint brushes.”
As for her choice of subjects, Lane’s interest is primarily in taking what exists in nature and working it into a more abstract, conceptualized image.
“Animals are fun,” said Lane. “They’re so cute and you can work to make them look really different than they are.”
Lane is a rising sixth-grader at Sun Valley’s Community School. She has lived in the Wood River Valley for three years after moving here from Connecticut. When she isn’t painting (or doing homework), she figure skates competitively, skis, studies dance and helps a lot with her younger siblings.
Lane will show her paintings at the Ketchum Arts Festival, July 9-11.

briefsThe Haute Trash
Fashion Showthe Haute trash Fashion Show
will showcase garments made from thrown-away materials, modeled by local models of all shapes and sizes to generate awareness of the need for sustainable to-go containers through-out the Wood River Valley.
the coming event is a response to the “sea of plastic” that now floats in the Pacific ocean. this toxic stew, twice the size of texas, weighs almost 3.5 million tons and floats between San Francisco and Hawaii. Eighty per-cent of the debris originated on land, and could have been easily prevented (San Francisco Chronicle, oct. 19, 2007).
Since 2002, Haute trash has pro-duced over 100 shows, reshaping so-cietal views on beauty, recycling and, ultimately, trash. outfits are designed from an assortment of thrown-away materials such as construction fenc-ing, food packaging, inner tubes, soda pop tops, coffee cups, plastic bags, and other salvaged materials.
the fashion show will be held at 6 p.m. on June 24 at the nexStage the-atre in Ketchum. tickets are $10 and are on sale now at the Building Ma-terials thrift Store in Hailey and 24/7 Clinical Skin Spa in Ketchum. tickets will also be sold at the door.
2009 Idaho Smart Growth Award
Sweetwater was awarded certi-fication by the United States Green Building council for Leadership in the Energy and Environmental Design Neighborhood Development (LEED ND) pilot program. Sweetwater is one of the first 40 neighborhoods in the world to receive this sustainable cer-tification.
Sweetwater proves that smart growth can be compatible within ru-ral communities. It restores the com-munity fabric, combining historical elements with new and provides am-ple areas and features to encourage neighbors to connect and socialize. Green Strategies include treated and infiltrated 100 percent of storm water runoff onsite, ensuring recharge and quality of underlying ground water; exterior light fixtures designed to re-duce light pollution and increase night sky visibility; reused surface parking by placing most parking within ga-rages below residences, thus lessen-ing storm water runoff, heat island effect and encouraging neighbor-hood walkability. http://www.epa.gov/dced/awards/sg_awards_publi-cation_2009.htm-Planted over 1,000 tress and provided cold roof colors to reduce the heat island effect; de-signed development around a central park with a rich variety of greens and a series of pedestrian pathways to en-courage community connections in-ternally and to the greater area.
Botanical drawingExplore the beauty of flowering
plants and learn traditional botanical art techniques to create realistic plant portraits in this weeklong workshop offered by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, July 12–16.
Students will work with graphite to study the variety of exciting forms, structures and textures found in live plant material. the goals are keen ob-servation of details, accurate drawing and full tonal contrast for drawings with exciting three-dimensional form. Wednesday through Friday, students will work in watercolor to paint a sim-ple flower arrangement or flowering plant. At the end of the week, students will have learned precise brushwork techniques such as dry brush, how to quickly and accurately match colors of plant life and the correct use of val-ues, and will leave the class ready to embark on a challenging and fulfilling lifelong hobby.

Banker snubs regulatory bill
by Karen bossicK
The financial regulatory bill that Congress is work-ing on is almost certainly
needed.But the bill as it stands will
make it more expensive for bor-rowers to get fixed rate loans, a CEO for Zions Bank told a group of investors at the Sun Valley Lodge Dining Room this past week.
“It’s a bill that does almost nothing to address the problem,” said Harris Simmons, corporate CEO of Zions Bancorporation. “It’s nothing but a Christmas tree on which to hang a lot of things.”
Simons, who spoke as part of Zions Community Speaker Series, said that legislation that will almost certainly be signed into law in the next few weeks will require institutions to have “living wills.” It will allow fed-eral regulators to more closely regulate some institutions. But at the end of the day the concept of “too big to fail” will still be with us, he said.
Harris said it gets his dander up when people say banks aren’t lending.
Banks are lending, but quali-fied borrowers aren’t borrowing, he said. Companies of all sizes have more cash on balance today than any time in the last 60 years.
Harris also urged those hav-ing trouble making payments on property to work with their loan officers.
“Banks don’t want to foreclose on property. They almost always take a loss when they do,” he said.
“It’s better to work with a borrower. My advice is to keep talking and we’ll try to meet you half way.” twp

A Lot to LearnAs the store manager for a

He was verybright, but no matter how manytimes I showed him the correctprocedure, he'd stock items inthe wrong aisle or price themincorrectly.
One morning I found himmaking mistakes again andwent to talk with him. "I'm try-ing to give you the benefit of thedoubt," I explained, "but youhave to find a way to makefewer mistakes during the day."
"Okay," he thought for amoment. "Maybe I should takea longer lunch!"

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,I've been working the same jobat the same desk for ten yearsand I'm bored to death. I want tofind another job, but to be hon-est, the ones I find through theonline job sites or the classi-fieds seem just as boring. Thenthe other day I saw a TV pro-gram with all sorts of interestingjobs. One guy who was anaccountant now makes his liv-ing as a scuba instructor on atropical island. Another personwas able to buy and keepdesigner clothes as a personalshopper. The best onewas a personal assis-tant to a movie star.They got paid to hob-nob with big-timeactors. How can I get ajob like that and how come Inever see them advertised inthe newspaper?
• • •Carry: I once thought about
becoming a movie star, but itturned out I made a much betterout-of-work actor!
Cash: It is true that most of thejobs you mentioned won't befound in the classifieds. Althoughpossible, it's unlikely that TomCruise would place an ad when heneeds a new personal assistant.Most jobs like that are handled
through referrals.Carry: If you're considering a
career change, you should dosome homework beforehand. Theformer accountant turned scubainstructor probably had a love ofscuba diving and was active in thesport for many years beforechanging careers.
Cash: For a drastic change likethat you'll need to search outopportunities. Join an associationor group that works with thosetypes of jobs and start reading thetrade magazines associated withthe profession.
Carry: The job as a personalshopper may sound like a lot offun if you love shopping, butremember that it's still a job.
Personal shoppers are usuallyevaluating a store, the productsand the personnel. They have todo paperwork, account for themoney they spend and shop withspecific goals in mind.
Cash: Before you go look for anew job, take a look at what kindof work you enjoy and would bestfit your personality. Do you like tobe in an office or would you ratherbe outside? And would the changein career work for you financially?
Carry: The classifieds can be agreat place to start. It offers avariety of employers, typicallywithin commuting distance, andmay have your perfect profession.
Cash: After all, the best jobs arethe ones that don't seem like work.

509announcementsWood River Land Trust is looking to highlight its highest level of Trout Friendliness by certifying more Gold Standard lawns. The Trout Friendly Lawn program promotes simple steps residents can take in yards and parks throughout the Wood Riv-er Valley to conserve water and pro-tect water quality and local fisheries.
A certified Trout Friendly Lawn is: 1) water-wise, 2) reduces or eliminates the use of synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, and 3) uses native and drought-tolerant plants. The Gold Standard asks residents to choose a certain number of Trout Friendly practices, such as establishing a ‘no-mow zone’, planting native and drought-tolerant plants, or eliminat-ing the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. If you are interested in certifying your lawn Trout Friendly, or for more informa-tion, call Sam Phillips at Wood River Land Trust at 788-3947, email [email protected] or visit www.troutfriendly.org. **25**
