STORY AND PHOTOSBY KAREN BOSSICK

A couple of years ago a young man dropped into St. Thomas Episco-pal Church while on vacation and

asked if he could play the organ.The ears of those working in the

church perked up as the young man put his hands to the keys and his feet to the pedal, the powerful sounds reverberating through the church.

The impromptu performance turned into a job interview more than a year later when church choir director Dick Brown announced he was going to resign.

It turned into a job when Joel Bejot took over as choir director and organist for the church.

“It was one of those most mysteri-ous timing things,” said the Rev. Ken Brannon of the practice session that turned into a job audition. “Organists are not easy to come by—it’s a special skill set, but one that’s very important to us. When Dick heard him practicing, he said, ‘This guy knows how to play.’“

“With Joel, you have an outstanding musician as well as someone who has a wonderful manner with the choir—he’s a gentle spirit with a subtle sense of humor. He comes from a Lutheran back-ground so he brings an ecumenical back-ground to his work. And he’s also good at a cappella chanting,” Brannon added.

Joel didn’t come alone, though. His wife Jessica is the new director of chil-dren and families.

“She has a proven track record work-ing with young people. She’s interested in equipping families, deepening their life of faith. She’s especially gifted with electronic media and has already helped redesign our Web page. And she’s not afraid to look at things in a fresh way,” said Brannon.

The Bejots and their three daugh-ters—9-year-old Emma, 6-year-old Alaina and 2-year-old Iris—came from Castle Rock, Colo., a suburb of Denver where Joel was the Cadet Chapel director of music at Faith Lutheran Church.

But Jessica grew up in the Wood River Valley, the daughter of Eric and Kathleen

Schwartzenberger. Her father helped open Williams Market where he worked in the meat department. Her mother works for the City of Ketchum.

“A lot of my school friends moved back this year, including a school counselor and the principal at Bellevue. And one of my children’s teachers—Ms. Cey—was my teacher,” Jessica related.

Church receptionist Vicki Riedel, a member of the church, said the Bejots are “wonderful parents with delightful children.” “Joel makes me laugh all the time. He has a wonderful spirit. He’s quick to laugh and fun to be around,” she added.

Joel Bejot stepped up to sing a duet with Sara Gorby at the Girlfriends Luncheon, a fundraiser for St. Thomas Playhouse in February.

Get To Know Your Mini-Triceratops


The chameleon perched on Emily Parker’s finger looks like a mini-triceratops.

Two horns stick out below its eyes; a third sits on its snout.

It’s one of about 160 species of chameleons, which is Greek for “lion on the ground.” A native of Kenya and Tanzania, it is usu-ally bright green but can change color quickly depending on mood, health and temperature, said Tammy Hood, the Sawtooth Botanical Garden’s education director.

And it’s likely to be one of the hits of this year’s Bug Zoo at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden just south of Ketchum.

This year’s Bug Zoo, which kicks off with a cocktail party and festival, will look totally different from past Bug Zoos.

Physically, it will look differ-ent, thanks to a variety of new arrangements, including a cave for nocturnal creatures that has been erected with black lights and Christmas lights in the visitor center.

And it will feature more and bigger critters than ever before, including several chameleons, tarantulas, geckos and snakes.

The critters include a Goliath bird-eating spider, whose hissing can be heard 16 feet away; a Chinese water dragon that will bite and shed its skin; a veiled chameleon from Saudi Arabia and Yemen that appears to be wearing a helmet; a crested

The veiled chameleon that Emily Parker is holding can flatten its body to resemble a leaf when it lives in the trees. Males have small spurs on their rear feet.

This Goliath bird-eating spider, which be-longs to the tarantula family, is the second largest spider in the world going by leg span, which can grow as long as 11 inches. Found in marshy swamps in the rainforests of Guyana, northern Brazil and southern Venezuela, Goliath spiders are nocturnal. They’re aggressive and will attack—females sometimes eat their mates. Its hissing can be heard 16 feet away. P.S. Despite their name, they rarely eat birds—they prefer rodents, frogs, toads, lizards, snakes, cock-roaches and crickets.

PurdyBY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

“What a good guy.” That was the general consensus of all us Idahoans when they heard the news on April 14th, last, that Bud Purdy had passed away at his home in Picabo at the age of 94. “What a truly good guy.” That would have made Bud smile. That’s all he ever wanted people to think about him. He treated folks like he wanted them to treat him. He knew everybody—from an honest cowboy on his ranch to the governors and top politi-cal figures of the state—and treated them all in the same way. Everybody wanted to be Bud’s pal. He was open and kind to young people on the way up and patiently gave them advice; he respected and revered those who were coming to the end of their lives and pointed out their accomplishments. He paid top wages to cowhands and

negotiated huge contracts and projects with some of the top people in Idaho industry. He was the main cog and fundraiser for the St. Luke’s hospital simply because it was the right thing to do. He was, simply, a good guy.

It was quite an honor to be invited for Sunday breakfast at the Purdy house. Flap-jacks, eggs, bacon, sausage, juices, coffees and endless mirthful conversations inter-rupted by phone calls from around the country and a new invited guest stopping by for good food and good cheer. Only politics and religion were avoided for the peace of all concerned. Rather, one would hear about the plans for the week, about the new duck nest down the way on Silver Creek, or about what Nick should do about that broken fence gate on the far side of the ranch that Bud had spied on his weekly flight around the ranch. Nick would

laugh and say he would look into it as he really didn’t have much to do.

The relationship between Bud and oldest son Nick was a wonderful thing to expe-rience. Nick really loved his dad and would do anything for him and the ranch and did so with joy all of the time. You see, Nick is also “a good guy.”

Many folks will miss Bud from around here. His pres-ence in any gathering was sparked by his knowledge and down-to-earth humor. His benevolent role in the community helped many quietly and without fanfare. He loved the ranch and his extended family and its wonderful history, his cattle, the fields, the barns, the work crews, the irrigation pipes, the wildlife, Silver Creek, the sheep, great stories that have come down through the years. But of all, he loved Ruth the most. She was the one who made it all worth-while. Theirs was a union for all time.

So, here’s to the man who we all knew and loved. Here’s to one of the last real good guys. Rest in peace, Bud.

Josh Keefer was among members of the Lee Gilman Gorillas who took part in the inaugural Sawtooth Gelande Quaffing Championships held Friday evening at Ketchum Town Square. The object—shared by Keefer and teammates Wes Powell, Josiah Rosser and Kristen Mitchell—was to slide beer down a long table to team-mates who caught it and downed it before it landed in a pile of snow. Others who attempted to down the most in a certain period of time included the Pabst Blue Ribbon guys.

STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

John Balint thinks he’s found a way to save a billion gallons of water over the

next year and save homeowners money at the same time.

Balint, who chairs the Saw-tooth Botanical Garden board and owns Evergreen Landscap-ing, is working with landscape contractors to install automatic sprinkler system controllers in 2,000 homes over the next couple years.

“It’s something we’ve been talking about for a few years—something we thought the Sawtooth Botanical Garden could spearhead that would have a big impact on the community,” he said.

The key is putting a new generation of smart irrigation controllers to work regulating water. Smart irrigation control-lers have built-in water saving features including sensors that shut off the water during rainy periods.

“We’ve had smart irrigation controllers but they cost $3,000. Now a new generation of less ex-pensive controllers makes them more affordable,” said Balint.

“If we can save 20 percent of a couple million gallons of water, that’s a significant savings. And with the drought we’ve had the past couple years and the fact that wells are getting metered, this is a good time to roll out the program. Even local towns will benefit because they’ll save money on infrastructure.”

The average house in the valley uses 300,000 to 600,000 gallons of water a year—“a lot of water,” according to Balint.

Balint says he has several landscape contractors with more than 1,700 clients who have agreed to educate their clients

New Program Aims To Cut Water Use In Valley

about the potential cost savings. Homeowners who can’t afford the $500 to $800 cost of installation up front can set up a payment plan in which they would pay as they save money on water, Balint said.

Balint said he and two other water experts will assist contrac-tors with site inspections free of charge. He hopes to add addi-tional landscape contractors next year. Balint said he was inspired to do the program after learning of similar programs in Twin Falls, Boise and other places across the nation.

“Hunter Sprinklers, one of those supplying smart irrigation controllers, says the way we’re doing the program is the best they’ve ever seen,” he added.

Balint said he is working with suppliers to see if he can secure a group discount rate for Valley homeowners.

“The controllers are about as cheap as it’s ever going to get to install, and with water prices go-ing up, it’s a good deal,” he said.

John Balint learned to perform a few magic tricks at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden’s circus fundraiser last summer. He’s hoping to work a little additional magic when it comes to conserving water in the Valley.

Nora Jones:Baking Up Treats

student spotlight

Each week, Jonathan Kane will be profiling a local high-school student. If you know someone you’d like to see featured, e-mail [email protected]

BY JONATHAN KANE

Nora Jones has a sweet tooth. The Wood Riv-er High School junior,

carrying a 3.83 grade point average and graduating a year early, often finds herself in the kitchen. That’s because the Picabo resident just loves to cook – especially bake. “My passion in life is cooking,” Jones said. “My goal is to become a pastry chef as a career. I love to bake and it started at an early age be-cause my mom was at home and I would help her in the kitchen. My earliest memory was of baking cookies. I like sweet stuff.” In eighth grade Jones took a cooking class at the middle school and to-day finds herself in the culinary class. “I do as much baking at home as I can but with home-work sometimes it can be a little tough. I like to cook but baking is my favorite because I don’t like working with raw meat and I love doing the decorations on cakes.” In fact, Jones’ favorite to make is layer cakes. “There are multiple steps involved. First, you bake the layers, then assem-ble the cake with frosting, and finish off with the decorations. Usually I make one a week and the family eats it or we share it with neighbors.” In class, Jones is learning all the aspects of cooking. “We meet four times a week in the school’s kitchen. We started with food safety and learned all the rules regarding preparing food. Then we did labs where we would experiment with different recipes to preparing

full meals – salads, entrées and desserts.” Her favorite meals to prepare are noodles or rice dishes. “I really love to prepare sauces like Alfredo and pesto. “I’m most comfortable being in a kitchen. I like using all the tools and it’s fun to prepare food for other people and see their reaction and watch them enjoy it.” She is also a part of the FCCLA – an organization that has state competitions in areas like cooking and sewing. As part of that, she goes every Thursday

to the Commu-nity Campus to set the tables for the Rotary Club luncheon. “We practice things like napkin folding and the correct way to set up a table. It’s really fun and you learn a lot doing it.”

Her senior project this year was rather

unique. She job shadowed a county sheriff for 18 weeks for about 10 hours a week. “I got the chance to ride with three officers. I really wasn’t sure I could do it. We also toured the jail. To be honest, when I rode, not much happened and it was a little boring. I also worked with the school resource officer at Wood River. The reason I chose this is because I wanted to do something that I had absolutely no background in. I would see them driving in their cars and wondered exactly what it was that they do. I learned that they take nothing for granted and take their job very seriously.” The same can be said for Jones’ approach to life.

Two Wood River Valley youth have received honor-able mentions in the Idaho

Junior Duck Stamp Art Contest. Taylor Rixon received honor-

able mention in the kindergar-ten-through-third-grade portion of the competition. Larsen Bier received honorable mention in the fourth-through-sixth-grade portion of the competition.

Also submitting art was Harp-er Mallett.

All three entered art at the suggestion of Poo Wright-Pul-liam, an avid birder and the naturalist for the Ketchum Parks and Recreation afterschool program.

“Ducks are awesome. The way they eat is really cool,” said Rixon. “Some even dive for their dinner.”

Youngsters Don’t Duck Stamp Contest

The contest is part of the federal U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Junior Duck Stamp Program. Each state winner is entered in the national contest and the winning artwork is shown on the 2014-2015 Junior Duck Stamp.

The idea is to rejuvenate the nation’s passion to teach young-sters about wetlands habitat and waterfowl conservation to re-connect them with the outdoors. The artwork of Rixon and Bier will be shown at the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, just outside of Nampa, during the next few months.

For their efforts, the kids get a year-long subscription to Ducks Unlimited magazine (Puddler magazine for younger kids). They also get a year’s membership in the Ducks Unlimited Greenwing program.

BY BALI SZABO

I step out into the Habitat with shovel, spade, mattock and wheelbarrow each day to do

what has to be done. The list is always longer than the time available, so I am pulled hither and yon, to and fro, trying to do everything at once. In doing this, I am the engineer of renewal, hope, optimism and love, all things Spring stands for. It is said that if you want to know the meaning of life, ‘get thee to a garden.’

Unfortunately, before I step into this little paradise I have to read the paper, listen to CNN, and tune in to another reality. I write this on April 15th—the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing. In an article for this paper last year, I paid tribute to Boston and its people. I used a picture of peace and happiness, the golden dome of the Statehouse, the locals sun-ning themselves amid the tulips of the Boston Common. With the Red Sox’s 11 a.m. game and the Marathon, this was the best day of the year. Capistrano. Mardi Gras. Cherry blossoms. New Year’s Eve in Times Square. The Parade of Roses, the Run For The Roses. These are our cele-bratory moments. For Boston, its moment in the sun has become a day of mourning, a memory no amount of Spring flowers will ever color over.

Today is also Jackie Robinson Day. All Major League players will wear his number 42. The offices of the Atlanta Braves are receiving hate mail directed at the great Hank Aaron for breaking Babe Ruth’s home-run record. In a recent article, hammerin’ Hank wrote that he hopes no one will ever have to go

Hate Doesn’t Take A Day Off

through his ordeals on his way to breaking that milestone. Jack-ie Robinson would second that. Next up are the gay athletes who are starting to come out. The tale of that reception has only begun.

Also today, a ’deranged’ man goes berserk in Kansas and shoots up a Jewish community center, and tanks are rumbling menacingly in Eastern Ukraine. Troubles have always plagued the world. Every peace has been won with blood, and lost with blood. Hate, evil and delusion remain the old and the new normal. There’s even an adage in American politics – ‘If you want to get elected, hate somebody.’ There is also a corollary to that: ‘The greatest sin in politics is sincerity.’ These maxims work on the world stage as well.

We may have a glimmer of the divine in us, but our capacity for compassion, for absorbing all the pain in the world, is limited. Because we are not entirely di-vine, we experience compassion burnout. We can only carry so much of the burden. So today I work my tiny plot with a heavier heart than usual, but I do it on behalf of all the living. I refuse to sever my umbilical connection to the world, to the universe, re-gardless of the pain it will surely bring. In my life, if I can help it, love never takes a day off.

Ketchum psychotherapist Melissa Boley and her husband Tom Boley, a

former Outward Bound and Community School teacher, have opened a new retreat center near the mouth of Muldoon Canyon in Bellevue.

They named it The Rising Form Institute, after the ripples of the new form you see as fish rise to the surface of water.

The center, which is where the May 3 Resiliency Workshop will be, was artist Joe Castle’s

Rising Form Institute Offers Quiet Retreat At The End Of The Road

studio before he moved to Santa Barbara.

The 2,400-square-foot facility is separate from the house. It has a stained concrete floor, making it good as a gym. It has a garage door for those who might need to move some big pieces into the facility.

There’s a ping pong table and hula hoops for those taking a break. It opens onto a canyon where those attending retreats can hike or observe nature and the manicured five acres sur-rounding it invite contemplation with reflective spaces, gardens and fruit trees.

It is big enough to be used for movement workshops, hula hoop classes, board retreats, fund-raisers, healing arts seminars or seminars.

“It’s a fantastic property for spring, summer, fall, winter—all seasons,” said Tom Boley. “And we just want to work with peo-ple, offer it to them for what they can afford. We want to use it for everything from art to psycho-therapy. It’s far enough removed that people will feel they’ve got-ten away from town for the day yet not so far you have to make a major effort to get here.”

The Seder plate featured something different but something that made a

whole lot of sense in Idaho.There—amidst the horserad-

ish that signified the bitterness of Hebrew slaves in Egypt and a sweet mixture of chopped nuts and grated apples that signified the mortar used by the Hebrew slaves to build the pyramids of Egypt—was a potato.

The potato was introduced on the plate by the Wood River Jewish Community’s student rabbi Jeremy Simons because of a Passover service he participat-ed in with Jews from the Soviet Union while a rabbinical student in Jerusalem.

“They don’t have parsley, which is usually dipped into salt water to represent the tears of the Hebrew slaves in Egypt. Instead of parsley, they had the potato,” said Simons, a fifth-year rabbinical student at Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles.

Eighty-five people crowded into the American Legion Hall last week to celebrate Passover, which marks God’s liberation of the Hebrew people from slavery in the Egypt of the Pharaohs more than 3,300 years ago.

Table centerpieces were topped with pictures of boils, lice and pestilence—a reminder of the 10 plagues God inflicted upon the Egyptians before Pharaoh let His people go.

Matzo crackers sitting on the table reminded those present that the Israelites had to leave so quickly that they couldn’t wait for bread to rise.

“This is the bread of afflic-tion—the bread which our ancestors ate in the wilderness,” said Simons. “With a mighty arm, God freed us from Egypt from the house of bondage, from slavery in Egypt.”

The evening’s service was the condensed version of the Pass-over. Some such services last seven hours, said Cheryle Hall.

Night Of Bitter Herbs: “It Brings Families Together”

“The Seder was always special in our family,” said Marilyn Schwartz, whose relatives left what was then the Aus-tro-Hungarian Empire (now the Ukraine) to come to America.

“It’s part of our story, and we love to tell our story,” added Schwartz, whose ancestors helped dig New York City’s subways and build the George Washington Bridge.

The Passover service attracted a sizable number of attendees from other religious faiths, including St. Thomas Episcopal Church and Light on the Moun-tains Spiritual Center.

Among them: Mary Handels-man. She grew up in the Bible Belt of Texas but had once been asked to read in the temple by her late husband’s family, who were Jewish, so she felt like she had a foot in both worlds.

“Both faiths have improvised slightly different versions of God. But the bottom line for both is that God is God and I am not,” said Handelsman, who attends St. Thomas.

This year’s Passover was marked by the reminder that anti-Semitism still exists in the world. In this case, the most recent reminder was the alleged shootings by a man with a long history of anti-Semitism of three people at a Jewish community center and a Jewish assisted-liv-ing facility in suburban Kansas City.

“In the light of what happened yesterday in Kansas City, it’s important that we’re all here together,” said Enid Rawlings, who heads up the Wood River Jewish Community’s board with Juli Roos.

The solemn moments were followed by a jovial breaking of bread—or, at least, matzo—as Sun Valley’s executive chef John Murcko prepared a feast of chopped liver, gefilte fish, matzo ball soup, brisket, potato kugel and chocolate tort drizzled with raspberry sauce.

The Wood River Jewish Community has 155 mem-bers and has grown 37 per-cent in the past 18 months, said Claudie Goldstein, the community’s executive director. Sixty-six percent are part-time residents and 34 percent are full-time residents.

Goldstein said she expects the community to grow even more with the introduction of the com-munity’s new rabbi. Rabbi James Mirel, rabbi emeri-tus of Temple B’nai Torah in Bellevue, Wash., will be available to visit members in hospitals in addition to starting an Introduc-tion-to-Judaism class.

He also plans to lead a trip to Israel in March 2015, start a community klezmer band, hold a com-munity-wide Chanukah party on Dec. 23, 2014, conduct a comparative reli-gion seminar in February 2015 and hold an adult bar/bar mitzvah program.

His wife Julie Mirel, who sang the role of “Car-men” when Boise’s Morri-son Center was dedicated, will serve as this year’s High Holy Day cantor.

Judith Smooke, Claudie Goldstein and Richard Smooke were among those in attendance.

Student rabbi Jeremy Simons interspersed his journey through the Passover with jokes. “How did the matzo do in Las Vegas?—It was going for broke, each drop of wine we pour is hope and prayer that people that we can be rid of plagues that threaten everyone.”

wife Kelli served as head wait-ress.

The service ended, as always, with the phrase “I-shana ha-baah, bi-rushalaim”—“Next year in Jerusalem.”

It started during the medieval period by those who certainly meant it as a literal wish for transportation to Jerusalem in the coming year, said Simons.

“The Jerusalem they prayed for may have been based on an actual city, but it was really a prayer for a better future,” said Simons. “…Transportation to a land free from oppression, suffering and poverty… a world filled with freedom, joy and prosperity.”

“We love Passover because it brings so many people together,” said Jennifer Bernbaum. “And it brings family together.”

When you think of the state of Nebraska, trees aren’t exact-ly what first pops into your mind; but surprisingly enough, Nebraska is the founder and home of the national holiday of Arbor Day, a day devoted to the planting and celebration of trees. It all started with a man named J. Sterling Morton (1832 - 1902) who was serving as the secretary of the Nebraska Territory in the 1870s. Morton deeply valued trees and strongly encouraged tree planting in order to protect the soil from erosion, to use as

On January 4, 1872, Morton proposed a tree-planting holiday to be held on April 10 of that same year where he offered prizes to the person or group who planted the most trees. Arbor Day was proclaimed an official Nebraska state holiday in 1874. In 1885, Arbor Day became a legal holiday and thousands of people, including over 1,000 schoolchildren, came out to celebrate and plant trees. Other states adopted Arbor Day

Concerts Start May 4

The Great 50 Days of Easter Concert Series kicks off on May 4 and

ends June 1 at St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Sun Valley Road.

All concerts are free. Light hors d’oeuvres will fol-low each concert. Donations will benefit the Barry Keller Fund.

May 4, 4:00 p.m.—The Sundance Trio, which has performed throughout the United States and in the United Kingdom, will perform. Based in Utah, the trio was formed in 2005 to perform trios written for oboe, bassoon and piano. Trio members are oboist Gera-lyn Giovannetti, bassoonist Christian Smith, and pianist Jed Moss. Giovannetti and Smith are faculty colleagues at Brigham Young Univer-sity’s School of Music where they also perform together in the resident woodwind quin-tet Orpheus Winds. Moss is a solo and collaborative artist.

May 10, 6:00 p.m. Potluck and concert by Jaime Thietten. Thietten, a young Christian artist, has toured in New Zealand, Can-ada and the United States. She has recorded five solo albums, sharing the faith she carries through life’s ups and downs. Attendees are invited to bring a dish to share.

May 18, 4:00 p.m. Stu-dent recital.

June 1, 4:00 p.m. Organ recital by Joel Bejot, who has performed throughout the United States. Bejot will perform works by J.S. Bach and Charles-Marie Widor, as well as “Suite Mediévale” by Jean Langlais.

Joel grew up in Ainsworth, Neb.—home to Bejot Feedlots. A longtime church choir member, he began playing piano at 6 and organ in the eighth grade.

“The organ is the king of instruments,” said Joel, who earned a degree in theology at Concordia University in Nebras-ka. “I was impressed with their power. They have a symphony of sounds at your fingertips.

“And your feet,” his wife re-minded him.

Though described as “a cere-bral academic,” Bejot looks for music that will move people in the spiritual sense—music like Shaw’s “With a Voice of Sing-ing,” which he performed during Easter Vigil.

“I like all the different colors. It’s a modern piece that evokes all kinds of colors, from the tini-est whisper to the loudest roar,” he said.

Come May 4, Bejot will begin celebrating the Great 50 Days of Easter with the first of four con-certs. He will perform an organ recital for the final performance on June 1.

“One of the cool things about the Anglicans is their tradition of raising young singers. We’ll be using curriculum from the Royal School of Church music. And we’ll have the kids perform at church services, maybe even at some public function in the future,” he said.

Jessica’s heart lies in fami-lies, beginning with the birth process. She serves as a labor doula, attending to the births of more than 150 babies at home in water and at hospitals. She’s a lactation educator, midwife as-sistant and even a henna artist, creating elaborate henna belly art and ankle art for pregnant women.

While in Castle Rock, she founded Birth ROCKS!—a baby boutique and pregnancy wellness center. She also mentors birth workers through her Dream of Doula Birth Services.

Among the things she’s plan-ning for children at St. Thom-

as is an Artist-in-Residence program—four weeks of special Sunday school in which the chil-dren and St. Thomas Playhouse will create an experience of per-formance, public speaking and song culminating on Father’s Day.

She plans to tap into the many grandparents in the community with two months of special Sun-day school where the “grands” of the parish can impart their knowledge ranging from astron-omy to gardening in a program called “Grand Days of Summer.”

One thing you won’t see her do is sing in the church choir.

“I prayed to God in college that he would give me the gift of music. He laughed and gave me Joel instead,” she said.

She can’t wait, however, to identify ways to support young families in the community.

“Many of young families today have no grandparents or parents nearby to help,” she said. “These families need to be supported. We need to figure out what they need and be there for them. And we need to empow-er families to take care of one another.”

The organ at St. Thomas Episcopal Church is electronic—it has no pipes. But it has a nice sound, said Joel Bejot.

BEJOTS, from page 1

throughout the 1870s and 1880s and several U.S. Presidents have proclaimed Arbor Day as a national holiday. In Idaho, we celebrate Arbor Day on the last Friday in April to capitalize on the best growing conditions for trees. This year, in the spirit of Arbor Day, everyone should get outside and plant a tree to commemorate the occasion and join in the celebration of trees. Then take a selfie and share it in honor of Arbor Day at Facebook.com/ERCSunValley.

Earth Day may seem like a peaceful holiday where we clean up our environment

and celebrate the natural beauty of the planet, but that hasn’t always been the case. The first Earth Day, April 22nd, 1970, was dreamed up by Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator from Wis-consin, to raise awareness about air and water pollution and force the issue of environmental degradation onto the national political agenda. Nelson and his staff organized rallies, protests, and demonstrations across the country in what he defined as a coast-to-coast “national teach-in on the environment,” ultimately involving 20 million Americans. The support generated by the first Earth Day inspired the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. Earth Day 1990 went global to tackle another big issue, worldwide recycling

efforts and sustainability. This event mobilized 200 million people in 141 countries and brought environmental issues to the world stage, leading to the United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. In 2000, Earth Day organizers focused on global climate change and a push for clean energy. Over 5,000 environmental groups and 184 countries organized peace-ful events that reached out to hundreds of millions of people to raise awareness about these global issues. Earth Day 2000 sent the loud and clear message that citizens around the world wanted to see action related to alternative energy, sustainabil-ity, and our changing climate. You can enact change in our community by participating or hosting a variety of events. How will you celebrate Earth Day 2014? Find inspiration at Face-book.com/ERCSunValley.

Ketchum Named Tree City USA by Arbor Day Foundation Tenth Year in a Row

Ketchum has been named a 2013 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation for its commitment to effective urban management. This is the tenth year in a row that Ketchum has received the honor. Requirements include having a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. “Ketchum’s trees give us cleaner air, improved storm water management and in-creased property values,” said Juerg Stauffacher, parks and natural resources superintendent.

Doors open at 10:00 am and attendees will be greeted with music performed by the Wood River Community Orchestra. Dick Brown will give a pre-opera lecture on Mozart’s comic operas and the on again/off again of the popularity of this work. The lecture begins at 10:15 am and the opera begins at 11 am and ends at 3 pm.

Music Director James Levine conducts the Mozart’s beloved com-edy about testing the ties of love. The title, Così fan tutte, literally means “Thus do all [women]” and is popularly used to mean “Wom-en are like that”. Although it was first performed in 1790 it did not make its U.S. debut until 1922 at the New York Metropolitan Opera. It ranks 14th in most performed operas.

Tickets are available for purchase at any time at the theatre box office - $24 General Admission, $20 Seniors and $18 Student. For more information about Sun Valley Opera go to www.sunvalleyopera.com.

Mozart’s CosÌ fan tutte to be Broadcast Live from the NY Met in HD

The 2014 WRECC attracted teams from the valley’s four major elemen-tary schools: Bellevue, Woodside, Hailey, and Hemingway and 40 chess players with most of the players com-ing from Woodside. The champion-ship was a senior project concept that Nick Bruck Began in 2010 and is now a yearly staple for the students.

Church receptionist Vicki Riedel, a member of the church, said the Bejots are “wonderful parents with delight-ful children.” “Joel makes me laugh all the time. He has a wonderful spir-it. He’s quick to laugh and fun to be around,” she added.

BY JONATHAN KANE

Well, it rained for 40 days and 40 nights and the 500-year-old Noah

and family survived, along with two of every creature on earth. So the story goes. In Darren Aronofsky’s new far-fetched film Noah, Hollywood has to supply so much more. Bad guys; giant, ludicrous rock monsters; and an insane Noah spice things up. To only have been at the pitch meeting where the film’s story line was discussed and sold. In Hollywood, more is more.

This is particularly disap-pointing because Aronofsky (The Wrestler, Black Swan) is so talented. With a script that he wrote with Ari Handel and a lead performance by Russell Crowe, this Noah is cut from a different cloth. In this film, he is a bit of a maniac and on a quest to ensure that humankind dies an ignoble death. The original story just didn’t have enough zest for today’s audiences. In the movie, the Creator speaks (but is

The Great Flood

Rating:never heard) to the quiet family man and told that the descen-dants of Cain have fouled up the grand plan and that he must build an ark to survive the com-ing storm and apocalypse. To ac-complish this task, he is aided by the giant rock creatures called the Watchers who look like they came out of a bad Harry Harry-housen movie. Their emergence completely lost me, and at that point I kind of checked out. The bad guys, led by Ray Winstone, appeared and gave Noah his archenemy. Later, he stows away on the ark and fights Noah to the death – something that only Hollywood could come up with. In the film’s best story line, a barren, orphaned woman played by Emma Watson becomes pregnant with the magical help of Noah’s father (Anthony Hop-kins) with Noah’s son Shem (not Shemp — although that would have been more entertaining!). Will Noah love and embrace the child, or end its life to what he thinks fulfills the Creator’s desire? You’ll have to wait for the DVD to come out.

Fishing RepoRtTHE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR APR. 2 FROM PICABO ANGLER

There is only a month before the general trout season opens in

Idaho! This means Silver Creek, the Big Wood, the South Fork of the Boise and a few other famous fisher-ies reopen for the summer season. If you are a fly tier it is time to sit down at the vice and start cranking out patterns. The following is a list of must have early season fly patterns.

On Silver Creek there are two major hatches that should be on the water weather permitting. They are the Baetis and the Pale Morning Dun. It is also prudent to have a few other flies for the opener. You will want big Stink Bugs, Cal-libaetis, Ants and Beetles. The Stink Bug is among our favorite patterns for the first few days of the season. Fished like a grasshopper this fly produces big fish! If it is windy out or the water just has a little chop to it, then this fly can make the difference between fishing dry flies or not.

If the weather allows, and the Big Wood is fishable for the opener, the two dry flies you don’t want to be without are Royal Stimulators and Yellow Turks Tarantulas. The fish also respond well to nymphs. Bead Head Prince Nymphs and Epoxy Back Green Drake Nymphs.

The South Fork of the Boise is going to be the most interesting river upon the opener. It’s anyone’s guess what the flows may be, and if they will even allow boating. If you go, the Girdle Bug fished deep is a great bet. Prince Nymphs, Red Squirrel Nymphs and Hares Ears are all great choices.

There are several things to keep in mind as we approach opening day. The most important one is safety with high flows. Keep an eye on river levels and make sure that if you are fishing around the opener and we are experiencing runoff, wear a wader belt, fish with a friend, and leave “fido” at home. Wading staffs are also a good idea.

Another thing to keep in mind and to have at the ready is your float tube. If you need a new tube, let us know, we’ll have one ordered up for you! With that said, if you are looking for us online check out www.picaboan-gler.NET.

We are receiving product daily at Picabo Angler, and filling in what people need the most, so if you are after anything particular before the opener let us know!

Happy Fishing Everyone!

Trauma specialist Melissa Boley just returned from the

Philippines where she worked with a world-class trauma expert helping Filipinos recover from the super-typhoon that battered the Philippines in Novem-ber 2013.

It’s the kind of work that would benefit every com-munity, including the Sun Valley area where the stress level can be amped up in the blink of an eye when some-thing like the Beaver Creek Fire rampages through the valley.

That’s why Boley and Elaine Miller-Karas, co-founder and director of the Trauma Resource Institute, are offering a introductory workshop on Miller-Karas’ Community Resiliency Model from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 3.

The workshop, which is open to the public, will be held at Boley’s Rising Form Institute, 331 Bayhorse Road in Bellevue. Attend-ees must register online by going to traumare-sourceinstitute.com. Click on “trainings,” scroll down to “crm-basic trainings” and click on the one for Bellev-ue.

The training costs $200. Group discounts for three or more and scholarships are available.

If participants are in-terested, Boley and Mill-

Trauma Expert To Offer Workshop On Community Resiliency

er-Karas will replicate the five-day workshop they did for social workers and reli-gious leaders in the Philip-pines.

Boley accompanied Mill-er-Karas to the Philippines where PBS filmed their work teaching social work-ers and religious leaders and treating victims of the typhoon.

Miller-Karas, an adjunct professor at Loma Linda’s School of Social Work, co-created the Trauma Re-

siliency Model and the Com-munity Resiliency Model. She used it in Louisiana fol-lowing hurricanes Rita and Katrina; in San Bernardino County (Calif.) after the 2008 fires; in China after the Sichuan earthquake; and in Haiti after the Janu-ary 2010 earthquake.

She also has used it with active-duty military and veterans, working with personnel at Walter Reed Medical Center and at the Wounded Warrior Chronic Pain Conference in San Diego.

“Her model is seen as one of the premier crisis theory models to stabilize people,” Boley said. “It used to be critical incident was the big thing but they are deciding that is not as good at stabi-lizing the nervous system—it’s actually making it more activated.”

Just five months out, Filipinos are starting to rebuild. They’ve cleared out most of the rubbish and built new plywood shacks covered with palm fronds. But many of the people are still walking around like zombies—frozen in their re-sponse to the disaster that wiped out entire families in some cases.

“Initially, the Red Cross and other groups come in with shelter and food. Then the mental health special-ists come in. Our goal was to get them back to living life. To do that we taught them six different skills,” Boley said.

Boley shared a few of those skills in a communi-ty workshop following the Beaver Creek Fire. The first step is tracking or observing what is physically occurring in the body in terms of phys-iological symptoms such as heart rate, temperature and breathing.

“That tells you whether you’re out of the resiliency zone, which is where you’re balanced in body, mind and spirit. It’s where you have the most adaptability to deal with outside stresses,” Boley said.

Those who are amped up are more vigilant—a lot of Filipinos get nervous and can’t sit still when it starts raining. They can’t focus

“The other side is having

no energy, sleeping all

the time, having no

motivation, being

depressed—not doing

what needs to be done to get your life back

together.”-Boley

on what needs to be done, which is rebuilding and get food supplies together.

“The other side is having no energy, sleeping all the time, having no motivation, being depressed—not doing what needs to be done to get your life back together,” Boley added.

The movie “Captain Phil-lips” offers a good example of how someone can become frozen after a near-death experience, Boley said. “He could barely talk to the peo-ple who rescued him. At the end, he was starting to re-alize he had survived. A lot of people in the Philippines haven’t realized they’re still alive.”

Boley said she and her co-workers asked them questions like: When did you know you were safe? When did you know you had survived? When do you feel most playful?

“This brings them back into the resiliency zone because they know they have resources,” she said. “It’s creates a new story—a story that they’re alive. And you can do this very quickly, within a couple hours.”

STORY AND PHOTOBY KAREN BOSSICK

Idahoans are familiar with how climate change can warm rivers, killing salmon

and stressing trees, leading to beetle kill and increased risk of wildfire.

But climate change is also a moral justice issue, and the peo-ple that are impacted the most from it are those who did the least to cause it, such as impov-erished people in Africa, Aimee

Warming Climate: We Still Can Turn This Thing Around

Christensen told members of the Hailey Rotary Club last week.

In a message timed to coincide with Earth Day, Christensen said that climate change is expected to exacerbate poverty in developing countries and in-crease the number of pockets of poverty in developed countries.

Christensen, a Community School graduate and environ-mental consultant who has worked with dozens of Fortune 500 companies and been fea-tured on Bloomberg and other shows, said she relies on the

Intergovernmental Panel on Cli-mate Change as the best source of information about climate change. The panel is made up of scientists from around the world who are nominated by their gov-ernments to serve on the panel.

They have to vote on their level of consensus, she added.

While we’ve always had cyclical weather, we’ve never had more than 300-parts-per-million carbon dioxide gas in the Earth’s atmosphere. Now we’re at 400 parts per million, Christensen pointed out.

The negative effects of un-abated climate change include the loss of plant and wildlife species, which could have led to new medicines and the spread of West Nile disease in the north-ern United States, she said.

We’ve had 25 climate-related disasters, which each exceeded $1 billion in the last two years and claimed 1,019 lives com-bined.

The United States, which used to be a global climate energy leader, has only six companies among the top 30 climate energy companies today.

But we still can turn things around before our climate passes the critical instability phase, Christensen said.

Denmark expects to be fos-sil-fuel free by 2050. Microsoft has pledged to become carbon neutral—that is, achieve net-ze-ro emissions for its data centers, software development labs and employee business travel. Costa Rica plans to be carbon neutral by 2021. Walmart is working toward a goal of being supplied 100 percent by renewable energy.

Bangladesh and Reykjavik, Iceland, are already at 100 per-cent renewable energy.

In 2013 for the first time ever the United States installed more solar than world leader Germany. Since 2007 wind-gen-erated energy is up 309 percent, solar-generated energy up 607 percent and coal generation down 25 percent. The Air Force has pledged that 50 percent of its domestic flights will use renew-able fuels by 2016.

And putting solar on homes is now considered a better invest-ment than Standard & Poor’s in 13 states.

“Even if you don’t believe in climate change, do it anyway be-cause of the economic benefits,” Christensen advised.

Rotary Club member Red Bloedel took a survey of fellow Rotarians, which showed 88 percent of those present were

favorably inclined to a Hailey Rotary Initiative concerning climate change.

Bloedel said he was intrigued by how receptive Idaho Power is to rooftop solar electric panels and solar farms with friendly financing for home installation.

He added he was awed by Christensen’s optimism: “The chart showing the horrible accel-eration of greenhouse gases in just the past 50 years was a real eye-opener. And she showed how serious things are with 90,000 high-temperature records and 38,000 low-temperature records being broken in the United States in just the last four years.

“Yet, in the face of some very terrible climate projections of extreme weather, forest fires, smaller snowpacks and a host of other climate issues, she was hopeful we can turn this around before our climate passes the critical instability phase.”

A few good deeds you can do for the environment:

•Turn off the water when you’re brushing your teeth.•Use cold water for laundry.

•Unplug your toasters, coffee makers and Vitamix machines during the day.•Drink locally brewed beer

and organic wine.•Buy LED lightbulbs, which

last 20 years and use just 87 cents worth of energy a year.

the Minnie Moore Room of the Community Campus on Fox

Acres Road in Hailey.

Aimee Christensen said even this past week brought newer, stronger evidence that most of the climate change is due to human activity.

It would have been enough for 10-year-old Cole Schieven to spend a Sunday afternoon

up to his elbows in clay and compost.

But the aftermath may be even more fun for a 10-year-old.

Schieven now has an arsenal of seed bombs he can throw into the woods to replenish areas that were ravaged last August by the Beaver Creek Fire.

“Seed bombs originated in Ja-pan. They’re part of an ancient technique called ‘Tsuchi Dango,’ which means ‘earth dumpling,’” said Tammy Hood, the education director for the Sawtooth Botan-ical Garden.

“They were reintroduced in 1938 by a Japanese microbiolo-gist, Masonobu Fukuoka, who pioneered in the world of sus-tainable agriculture by initiating ‘natural farming,’ which involved using no weeding, pesticides, fertilizers or filling,” she added.

A half-dozen people, including Schieven and his mother, Arlene Schieven, turned out recently for a Native Seed Bombs class of-fered at the Sawtooth Botanical

Garden by local horticulturist and florist Natalie Rose.

Together, they made seed bombs—“magical” little nuggets of clay, compost and native seeds that they could toss in their yards or in the forests to nourish areas that have been blighted by fire or drought.

“It’s important that whatever you throw is native,” said Rose,

who used to work with the U.S. Forest Service. “You don’t want to spread non-native seeds on Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service land because they can out-compete native seeds.”

Rose showed the group how to make the seed bombs by rolling

The clay is squished together over the compost/wildflower mix.

The Green Guerrillas made seed grenades from balloons filled with tomato seeds and fertilizer in the 1970s. They tossed them over fences into empty lots in New York City to make the neighborhoods look better.

Planes dropped seed bombs over Hawaii in the 1930s to revegetate inac-cessible mountain areas after forest fires.

Seed bombs are also used in Africa to revege-tate barren land.

Yumi Skugawa suggests that you soak your seeds for an hour or overnight in compost tea, discarding any seeds that remain floating, before making your seed bombs.

a ball of clay and then punching an indentation in it. The more natural the clay the better, since it’s being thrown in the wild.

The clay is filled with a mix of compost and seeds. Mountain hollyhock, erigonum, owls’ claws, yarrow and agastache were sin-gled out for sunny areas.

Others, like monkeyflower and blue geranium, were set aside for shady and riparian areas. As they dry out, the balls of clay and compost create an environ-ment for the seeds to grow, Rose said. Now is a good time to toss the bombs to allow the seeds inside them to compete with the weeds.

Rose cautioned participants that they need a permit to collect native seeds on public lands. But she will be selling native seeds and plants at Rooted in Nature behind Luke’s Pharmacy at 14 W. Bullion St., beginning in early May.

“When I collect seeds for the Forest Service, I collect over many miles,” she said. “I collect-ed this penstemon from Galena to Ketchum. That increases the diversity. The bigger gene pool means more vigorous plants. And, ethically, it’s the right thing to do.”

Tammy Hood, the Sawtooth Botanical Garden’s education director, shows how you can use a slingshot to lob a seed bomb.

“I like the music the station runs,” Butterfield said. “I like that it isn’t canned. I like that it isn’t made up by someone some-where else.”

The station is trying to raise $25,000 to put an antenna up on Baldy so it can have a farther reach.

Right now the station can be heard from Hailey to Phantom Hill north of Ketchum, said Dana DuGan, who has a talk show on the station.

“WOW-STUDENTS PARTNERS WITH NONPROFITS TO CREATE GENEROSITY

Meet the Valley: Scott Runkel

As a child, I was always throwing myself in situations where I became part of nature, appreciating its amazingness, diversity, and

endless surprises, while capitalizing on all its grandeur for food and fun. Seining shiners (a 3 inch long baitfish) for an upcoming fishing trip, I understood that a few would need to die at the end of my hook to catch dinner to feed my family. I saw my role in the ecosystem, and that if I was responsible, there would be enough fish left to reproduce for next year. I would always carefully pick the “too small” shiners and other living treasures out of the net and sand, revive them, and make sure they lived another day. Spending that extra time seemed like a worthy and obvious price to pay in return for what I was getting: an amazing day fishing and a window into an unbelievably, fine-tuned ecosystem. I was always shocked when I would come across the bycatch of other fisherman rotting on the beach.

Fast forward thirty years, I am still drawn to ecological service, finding ways to “save those shiners” so our children will have the same opportunities I have gotten to enjoy. I am lucky to be a teacher. Imagine being surrounded by people who only see possibilities not barriers. People who look for solutions without dwelling on all the reasons why a new idea will never work. That’s life teaching at the Community School and working with students who are open to new ideas, search for them in fact, and who truly want to make the world a better place. Unfortunately, I hear the Great South Bay on Long Island is only a shell of the bounty I enjoyed. However, I am heartened by the passion and spirit of so many who are working to right the wrongs and make the world a better place.

Wood River High School Junior Class partners with Hailey Ice

WOW-Students mission is to inspire and expand generosity in Blaine County. WOW empowers students to make a difference and take responsibility

for their community, inspiring others to follow.

Like us on Facebookwow-students.org WOW-students is a 501c3 non-profit

As the snow is melting and the sun is shining there are a lot of exciting things

happening in the Wood River Valley. While winter sports are moving to the back of our minds, there are still opportunities to help enhance our cold weather recreational activities.

Hailey Ice, Inc. is a private non-profit Idaho 501(c)3 established in 2000. They started as a group of parents and outdoor enthusiast who joined forces to provide an outdoor sheet of ice for the families and children in with Wood River Valley. Since then they have expanded their goals to create a fully enclosed rink that will provide an affordable activity for students and families.

Sarah Benson has been the Executive Director of Hailey Ice, Inc. since 2012. She is heavily involved in hockey in the valley, her whole family being comprised of avid hockey players, so she is a natural fit for this position and full of enthusiasm.

“ We are working towards providing another safe place to come hang out and participate

in fun, physical winter activities.”

Currently the ice rink, located at Wertheimer Park (Hailey Rodeo Grounds), operates annually from Christmas through February, weather dependent. Hailey Ice, Inc. heavily relies on grant funding, generous donors and local volunteers to help build the ice rink every year. They offer a free-skate program; providing skates, sticks and gear for children and families from all over Idaho, encouraging them to try a new sport in a safe environment.

During the 2013-2014 season the students from the Wood River High School Junior Class

seized the opportunity to give back in more ways than one. They jumped in headfirst in their partnership with wow-students, donating funds to accommodate a paid attendant to help with the free-skate program and extend it into the weekends. Similarly, they volunteered their time assisting with sponsored fundraising events throughout the winter. With the help of their teacher, Wendy Baumgartner-Jones, the Junior Class exemplified the effort wow-students is promoting by creating generosity experiences for the students in the Wood River Valley.

Hailey Ice, Inc. has big plans moving forward. Having been approved by P&Z for a permanent facility last week, they plan to break ground in the next month and spend the summer laying the pipe for the refrigeration, pouring the concrete slab and installing the ice plant creating a permanent home for our very own local valley ice rink. Fundraising effort are still in place to complete this project and for more information please contact Sarah Benson at [email protected] or visit their website at http://www.haileyice.org.


Nip Nipping In The BudPositive Puppy Dog Training, LL CP.O. Box 806 Sun Valley, Idaho 83353208-578-1565www.positivepuppy.com

Some of the most popular breeds in the West and in compe-tition are border collies, Austra-lian shepherds and blue heelers. These dogs are hard workers, tough, intelligent and beautiful. Their roots are in working cattle ranches and amongst Basque sheepherders. Many people are lured to these breeds because of their ability to work hard; com-pete at a high level in nearly any sport; their ability to partake in outdoor activities; and their trainability.

In recent years the numbers of these breeds have increased in proportion to their popularity. But, we have also been made aware of some problems that can be associated with these breeds. It would appear that the old adage “their biggest strength is also their biggest weakness” would hold true for these beauti-ful creatures.

I often get calls about these breeds chasing cars, bicyclists or cross-country skiers and nipping at heels. While these breeds were bred to herd livestock, the nipping, or “flossing,” behavior is not always desired in the working dog. Nipping becomes an overwhelming desire for the pet dog when the quick move-ment of the recreationist arouses him. The dog that chases and nips in this way is not necessar-ily being “bad”; he simply has no constructive outlet for his need and desire to work. He can’t herd sheep, so the people walking by will do.

These behaviors are not exclusive to the herding breeds, either. Many mixed-breed dogs,

whose heritage we do not know, may possess these behaviors as well!

Many times the herding dog or mixed-breed dog that has the herding instinct, brought up in the pet home, has no outlet for his intense need to work. The working dog would probably not display some of those nipping be-haviors if he has an outlet for his work ethic and endurance. If not addressed by a knowledgeable owner, this intense need to work can find its way into socially unacceptable behaviors that may escalate into dangerous confron-tation for the passerby, and legal entanglement for the owner.

The best way to deal with this potential problem is prevention.

1. Working dogs need jobs. If they don’t have a job, they will make one up that doesn’t neces-sarily fit into our society. Give your dog a job! Do competitive obedience; get a ball-throwing machine for the backyard; do agility. Teach your dog to do jobs around the house, like picking things up off the floor for you every morning. Or have him retrieve a fly ball or Frisbee—anything that lets the dog use his mind and body.

2. Teach your dog basic obedience, especially sitting next to you when out on the trails. A strong “stay” and “come” command are imperative. Take a leash along on your walks and attach it to your dog’s collar when someone comes by.

3. Don’t let your dog run free in the neighborhood. This allows your dog to create jobs of his own, choice like chasing cars,

bikes, other dogs, etc., without your knowledge.

4. Practice good leader-ship that the dog understands. Be a fair but firm and consistent leader to your dog. Have him do simple things like sitting for meals, sitting at the door, and walking on a leash from time to time. There are lots of excellent books that talk about fair and meaningful leadership.

5. Teach good bite inhi-bition with your dog as a puppy. Dogs need to know early on that putting their teeth on a person is unacceptable. This can be taught with positive reinforcement. Hand feeding meals and waiting for a soft mouth before giving him the food is always helpful.

6. Understand what purpose your particular dog was bred for. Try to incorporate a productive activity for your dog that gives him an outlet for that natural instinct, whether that instinct is for hunting, herding or working.

All these prevention methods work well for any breed with a bit of extra energy and a need for speed. The herding breeds are marvelous animals whose intelligence makes them top contenders in many dog sports. Understanding the purpose an individual dog was bred for will help in providing quality of life for that dog. Being aware of breed-specific instincts and putting into action a prevention program is simply the best way to deal with any potential prob-lems your dog may develop.

Prevention is always the best medicine!

There’ll be bug-themed appe-tizers, such as ladybugs made out of tomatoes. Patrons can make their own concoctions out of 15 different condiments at a Bloody Mary bar. And, of course, there’ll be all the critters to eyeball.

The Bug Zoo Festival will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday. It is free but suggested donations

of $5 for individuals and $10 for families will be gratefully accepted to help cover the costs.

Shayna Gelskey and fellow members of the Interact high school group will facilitate a scavenger hunt and other games and arts and crafts related to bugs.

And several local youngsters are bringing their ball python, king snake and other exotic pets for a show and tell.

Following the festival, school tours will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays.

The Bug Zoo will be open to the public free of charge 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends through May 10.

Twenty-four sixth- and seventh-graders from The Sage School have worked every Tues-day for seven Tuesdays to clean aquariums and help get the zoo ready, said Hood.

BY KATE RILEY

My mom spoke softly into the phone. I stared at the hills outside my bed-

room window just three blocks from her home. It wasn’t long before tears pooled in my lower lids. We decided we would get together as a family and join Dr. Tom Archie for further discus-sion. While Dr. Archie gave my mom some options, I watched her intently. She wasn’t going to have anything to do with med-ical treatment even if it meant retarding the growth of numer-ous malignant lesions. This was a choice I would honor.

“I just want everyone to let me die.” In my years of volunteering for Hospice, both in California and Idaho, I have heard these words before. My reactions have ranged from stunned, to mildly surprised, to supportive. I some-times found myself speechless; searching for the right response or denying the very meaning. I often responded with, “What do you need right now?”

This time was different, very different. It was my mother who stood before me in her pink bathrobe and said, “I just want everyone to let me die. I’ve had a full life and I have no regrets. My oversoul is calling me back.”

“Kate, the cancer has

spread to the bones…”

-Vee Riley

Looking From The Outside In: Living In The Mystery

The words flowed. She knows something I don’t know. She is living in the mystery. What I do know is my mother is making plans for a good death and our family is supporting her to make that happen. We’re all in this together. She is teaching me through the practice of dying, acceptance and reverence. What a gift.

She is welcoming friends and delights in short visits. If some-one has difficulty supporting her in her acceptance, she speaks openly about it. She is fearless and genuine. Someone asked her recently for words of wisdom and

she said, “Be true to yourself” – Yes, wisdom for all of us.

A hospital bed was delivered and set up in her bedroom. We’ve named it “The Royal Roost” and it faces a new direction with a different view of her property; affording her a new perspective at a time when she is fully pres-ent for her own death. I tiptoe up to her bedroom door and check on her frequently, just as I did with my newborn son; such an intimate and loving interlude.

Even with the pain, excruci-ating at times, it hasn’t stopped her from expressing gratitude for her life, for her beautiful home and meditation garden, and the people in her life. It hasn’t stopped her from choosing what she will wear during the cre-mation – a white silk robe. The cremation container has been picked up, which will be collaged and then stored until it’s needed. My mother will take part in the artwork. She is known for cre-ating vision boards and holding collage workshops. I can’t wait to see what she does with this one! In the meantime, my heart is breaking—this, too, is part of it all.

I love you, Mom.

BY CHRISTINA TINDLE M.A. CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY

Spring arrived for the first time this year when the direct rays of the

sun crossed the equator into the Northern Hemisphere on March 20th at 12:57 a.m. Eastern time. From that moment through the end of May, many feel spring fever burning within, experienced as increased vitality, energy and positive well-being. Interest-ingly, early American colonists initially described spring fever as a disease; hence, the term “fever.” Pilgrims complained of weakness, fatigue, depres-sion, anemia, gum disease, and irritability after long winters. Scurvy, a vitamin C deficiency from a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables, was apparently the original spring fever. Today, scurvy is rare so that nega-tive association with spring was long ago replaced with a pervasive view of upsurges in mood and energy triggered by positive associations of warm weather, romance, summer vacations, and outdoor recre-ation.

Research indicates that spring fever is activated more by physiological respons-es to seasonal changes than psychological, though, spe-cifically from increased light from longer days. Additional sunlight lowers production of melatonin in our bodies—a hormone that governs sleep cy-cles and depression, both which heighten during winter. Dr. Michael Terman, director of the Light Therapy Unit at the New York State Psychiatric In-stitute at Columbia-Presbyteri-an Medical Center in Manhat-tan, defined spring fever as “…the beginning of the end of the ‘winter blues’…” The Spring Equinox is the temporal turn-ing point on the calendar, and “that’s when the population as a whole starts to report a higher energy level, decreased sleep, reduced eating and an alleviation of depression,” says Terman. As melatonin lowers in the body, there’s a corre-sponding increase in the “hap-piness hormone,” serotonin, a powerful mood-elevating neurotransmitter. Less sleep hormones along with elevated moods are a winning combina-tion for most.

But not all. Some people react poorly to increased light, at least initially. Dr. Rosenthal, director of sea-sonal studies at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, noted that, “Suicides and hospital admissions for depression and alcoholism reach a peak in spring.” That echoes T.S. Elliot’s verse: “April is the cruelest month…” written in The Wasteland. Some folks easily adapt to the physiologi-cal change to light with upbeat reactions while others, curi-ously, become more melancholy first and may be at risk to misinterpret their mood and life-view as depressing or a constant struggle. It’s uncom-fortable, yet time limited. For the spring-fever-challenged, knowing how your body adjusts helps prevent over-reacting to discomfort.

Either way, everyone can shift moods and energy into higher gear simply by set-ting positive intentions. Spring signals renewal, rebirth and

Spring Fever: Friend Or Foe?

regrowth. It’s a time to focus on positive changes especially if you face difficulties. Rath-er than become listless and depressed because you believe you fell short when compared to the happy ones during spring, use this time to reboot. Here’s a list of questions to help align intentions for a more satisfied life:

•What are you doing when you are at your best?

•What are your top five strengths?

•What strengths do you want to develop?

•Put your life purpose in a sentence that sums up who you are and what you want to accomplish.

•Review your answers to the four questions above and design an action-plan to imple-ment immediately.

Strengths are fairly easy to survey now with the focus on positive psychology. Google anything on that sub-ject and you’ll find a multitude of tests, most free, to help iden-tify and rank your particular qualities. Filmmaker Tiffany Shlain of the Moxie Institute shot a brilliant 8-minute video, The Science of Character. She posits that when individual strengths are utilized, people become happier and more suc-cessful. Go to: letitripple.org to view this inspiring film.

Herminia Ibarra, professor at INSEAD, The Business School of the World, and author of Working Identi-ty: Unconventional Strategies for Reinventing Your Career, stated, “We learn who we are in practice, not in theory—by testing reality, not by looking inside.” Action is the key to happiness rather than self-ab-sorbed thought. Interrupt repeating patterns of behavior that haven’t worked (remember the jingle: More of the same doesn’t change); take action to improve work satisfaction; enjoy a simple hike or quick trip; learn something new; or reconnect at more meaningful levels in relationships. The personal awareness gained can enable movement out of an un-comfortable funk or accelerate new direction using heightened energy and enthusiasm. Spring fever marks a time when tran-sitions occur more readily.

Go ahead and thor-oughly clean your home or garage if you want. Then add time to spring clean your mind and emotions for refreshing diversity to old routine. Even if your life is great, improvement is wired into most individu-als and pushes for expression through creativity, love, or work. Corporate cultures can also reflect expression for positive change. Take Nike’s successful marketing campaign: Just Do It. Davide Grasso, Nike global chief marketing officer, shared, “For twenty-five years we’ve been inspiring people to Just Do It… we’re taking ‘Just Do It’ to a whole new place, showing people a new way to set goals and think about their own athletic potential, then helping them to achieve those goals through products, services and inspiration.” If winners with longstanding success contin-ue to reach higher potential, that’s motivation for us all. Use spring fever as a cue to implement positive change and surprise yourself: Just Do It.

This may have been the last weekend for skiing on Baldy and grooming on the North Valley Nordic trails, but mountain bikers were out in full force on the Hid-den Valley and Bullion Connector trails in Bullion Gulch west of Hailey. The trails are already dusty, despite a full load of snow in the faraway Pioneer Mountains. Photos: KAREN BOSSICK

Skiing Gives Way To Mountain Biking

Ketchum Named Tree City USA by Arbor Day Foundation Tenth Year in a Row

Ketchum has been named a 2013 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation for its commitment to effective urban management. This is the tenth year in a row that Ketchum has received the honor. Requirements include having a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. “Ketchum’s trees give us cleaner air, improved storm water management and in-creased property values,” said Juerg Stauffacher, parks and natural resources superintendent.
