He just knows that he prefers weeds over grasses because of the high protein content of the weeds. “I’d even eat poison oak if there was any here,” he said between chomps of weeds. Billy is the property of Ray Holes, a horse and cattle rancher near White Bird, Idaho. Holes purchased 450 head of goats in the late 1990s to control yellow star thistle, which had inundated the steep hillsides overlooking the lower Snake River canyon. The goat weeding proved so successful that he began renting goats out in 1997, charging about $100 per acre. Today, Holes’ 8,000 biological con- trol agents with their four-chambered stomachs constitute the largest contract grazing company in the Pacific North- west—perhaps, in the nation.

Ray’s wife Lisa says Billy got his taste for certain foods inside his mother’s womb since his mother was a working nanny who munched weeds while pregnant. But Billy had to learn to acquire a taste for knapweed as he started this job along Gannett Road because his mother hadn’t included that weed in her diet while preg- nant with him. Not a problem, said Billy: “I’ll taste just about anything that resembles plant matter to decide whether it’s good to eat. But the idea that goats eat anything, including tin cans? That’s a myth. You’re confusing us with the Donner Party.” Billy isn’t much on unionizing, despite the fact that his is no eight-hour-a-day job. After all, he says, he’s hungry 24 hours a day.

Billy doesn’t lose any sleep worrying about wolves—his owner has only lost one goat to wolves in 13 years. Billy, whose family is made up of crossbred goat breeds such as Boer, says he’s aware that he’s gotten the goat of a few impatient bicyclists who are miffed by the Cocoa Puff-like turds he sometimes leaves on the bike path.

He finds his strokes in people like Hailey resident Dan Karlovich and his 9- year-old daughter Shelby who stopped to take pictures of him in Bellevue. “We don’t have to put 80 gallons of herbicide on this and that’s cool,” said Sweetwater’s Project Manager Paul Hop- fenbeck, as he watched Billy lunch on a weed-filled lot adjacent to Sweetwater. Billy says he hopes people don’t count on him to eradicate the weeds after one smorgasbord. He’ll stop the plants he’s eating right now from going to seed. But as Billy walks through the weeds, he’s pushing old seeds into the ground where they will likely germinate. It takes three to four years to eradicate the weeds, said Ray Holes, who is under a three-year contract here. “But, hey,” says Billy, “my digestive tract breaks down more than 95 percent of the knapweed seeds I eat.

Folk Fest and Arts & CraftsBy Karen BoSSicK

You might have expected the son of “Lonesome Dove” author Larry Mc-

Murtry to cut his teeth on the likes of Johnny Cash and Roy Acuff.

But when it came to writing, his penned his novels in the form of songs.

Whatever, it worked. “The simple fact is that James

McMurtry may be the truest, fiercest songwriter of his genera-tion,” noted Stephen King, in “Entertainment Weekly.”

The Texas songwriter and singer will bring his songs about the Bayou and Laredo, the lights of Cheyenne and even Pocatello to the stage of the 34th annual Northern Rockies folk Festival Friday night.

McMurtry will headline Fri-day’s show while The Gourds, a roots-rock bluegrass group from Austin, Texas, return to Hailey to headline Saturday’s show.

“It’s always the best party of the summer,” said Bellevue resident Don Yeager.

The two-day festival, which draws more than 5,000 music lovers from throughout Idaho, will be held at Hop Porter Park on Bullion Street in Hailey. The festival begins at 5 p.m. Friday and 11:30 a.m. Saturday and runs until 10 p.m. both days.

This year’s festival is spon-sored by Albertsons and D.L. Evans.

As in previous years, the festi-val will promote student artists, as well as national talent like McMurtry and The Gourds.

“We think we have to get them on stage, not only to help them financially but to share their tal-ents with the community,” said

organizer Pete Kramer.Tickets are $16 for Friday

and $21 for Saturday or $32 for both days, purchased in advance online at northerrockiesfolkfes-tival.com. Tickets are also avail-able at Albertsons and Shelley’s Deli in Hailey and Chapter One book Store in Ketchum. Active military will be admitted free.

There’s more to the festival than the singing.• The inaugural Northern Rock-

ies Arts and Crafts Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday by the old Blaine County Courthouse on 1st Ave. S. and Croy streets. Booths will include puppets, beads, fiber arts, watercolors, winter hats, natural skin care

and unique clothing.• A car show will be held

at McKercher Park at the southern entrance to Hailey on Idaho 75 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, with live music and things for the kids to do.

• The bi-annual Friendship Quilt made especially for the North-ern Rockies Folk Festival, will be raffled off, along with a White Otter rafting trip.

• There will be a Pickin’ Party at noon Sunday for any musician who wants to join.

• And the music doesn’t end with the festival 10 p.m. curfew. The Sun Valley Brewery will hold a Post-Fest Party at 9:30 p.m. Friday featuring Folk Festival performers Quailfish. There is

no cover charge.• There will be a variety of food

booths, along with beer and wine served up by Sun Valley Brewery. People may bring picnics to the park but not dogs or bikes.

• There’ll be camping on a first-come first served basis for $10 a night at Lions Park, a stone’s throw from Hop Porter Park.

• Stepped-up recycling will be offered by the Environmental Resource Center. Site Based Energy’s mobile solar energy unit will provide energy for all food vendors.

James mcmurtry will headline Friday’s show. courteSy PHoto

the annual music event of the sum-mer, the three-day Braun Brothers re-union Festival, will once again be held in the beautiful central idaho moun-tains of challis. the dates are august 11-13. and, along with idaho’s favorite sons, reckless Kelly and micky and the motorcars, there will be plenty of new and seasoned texas and local acts. this years stellar cast includes grammy award winner rodney crow-ell, texas music icon robert earl Keen and the skillet-hot bluegrass of the greencards.

this year’s event is even more unique due to the fact that several of the artists are releasing new albums this summer, including…reckless Kelly,

micky and the motorcars, randy rog-ers, cody canada, the greencards, and robert earl Keen.

When asked for the lowdown on this year’s event, muzzie Braun, event promoter and performer, said, “the amount of talent this year will be phenomenal. rodney crowell will be performing in a very intimate setting on thursday evening– that will surely be a highlight.” muzzie goes on to say that appearances by idaho legend Pinto Bennett and his Famous motel cowboys, the Braun Family and a slew of other great acts will earmark this event for a guaranteed good time.

An Angel Wows ThemPHotoS & Story By Karen BoSSicK

If you’ve ever wondered what an angel sounds like, you got your answer Sunday evening.

A sell-out crowd at the Sun Valley Summer Symphony’s ben-efit concert found themselves in the arms of an angel as 11-year-old pop-opera prodigy Jackie Evancho transported them with pure, joyous, unaffected notes that may be the most powerful to have ever graced the Sun Valley Pavilion.

Evancho was like a modern-day Orpheus, who could charm even a stone with his song, as she sang 11 songs, including Puccini’s “O Mio Babbino Caro,” “The Impossible Dream,” and Pinocchio’s “When You Wish Upon a Star.”

The little girl, who does pen-guin waddles in her white patent leather shoes to calm her nerves before taking the stage, didn’t sing “Somewhere,” which she recorded with Barbra Streisand. But she did sing “A Time for Us” from “Romeo and Juliet,” along with “All I Ask of You” from “Phantom of the Opera.”

She rolled her Rs as she sang Italian opera, let loose with a joie de vivre on “To Believe” and reached down inside of herself for emotions she isn’t old enough to have experienced on songs like Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel.”

And when she was finished, her face changed and she became a little girl again, waving at the audience in little girl fashion.

“It’s almost like she’s channel-ing the opera greats,” said Susan Snyder.

“It’s amazing that a girl that young can sound so mature,” said Britta Gaeddert.

“The poise that comes out of Jackie is incredible,” said Benefit Chair Maggie Sturdevant.

Every seat in the 1,561-seat Pavilion was filled and addi-tional seats were set up on the terraces and behind the regular seats.

Gretchen Van Ert brought her 15 children and grandchildren as part of her birthday celebra-tion. Hemingway fifth-grader Bennett Snyder gave up an evening of mountain biking because, he said, “I think I need to hear classical music.”

Don Leonard and Kathy Mal-lane threw their support behind the symphony because “Where else do you see a symphony like this?”

And even a totally deaf woman attended, exclaiming that she could “hear” Evancho’s angelic voice by feeling the vibration in the Pavilion railing.

All witnessed an amazing showcase of youth doing utterly amazing things with violin, piano and voice in a benefit per-formance that has found a way to be nothing short of phenom-enal every year.

Ryu Goto, the Harvard phys-ics grad who made his concert debut at 7, sounded almost other-worldly while playing Ravel’s “Tzigane.” His gypsy-like ren-dering of Saint-Saens’ “Rondo Capriccioso” was enchanting while his banjo-like plucking on his solo encore sent a murmur through the audience.

And Cuban pianist Alfredo Rodriguez treated the audience to an explosive yet elegant per-formance of Gershwin’s “Rhap-sody in Blue” that took every bit of the athleticism embodied in the running shoes he pumped the piano pedals with.

Hardly anyone left before the finale—a testament to the won-der of the evening.

As Evancho returned for an encore, gateskeepers allowed those who had been sitting on the lawn fifty yards away from the Pavilion the opportunity to come forward and get a glimpse of the child sensation.

About a hundred people—many of them children them-selves—came forward, ringing the Pavilion. Many wiped away tears as Evancho pumped her arms in the air polishing the last notes of her sweet sounding voice.

“I want to thank you guys so much for coming here tonight,” she said in her suddenly little girl voice as a chorus of “awws” ran through the crowd. “It was so much fun and you were a great audience.”

“She’s an angel,” said Sun Val-ley Summer Symphony School of Music Director Kim Gasenica.

Jackie evancho started singing at age 8 after she had her tonsils removed, her brother said. it’s not her lungs or her vocal chords that set her apart from other 11-year-olds; rather, it’s the way her brain is able to coordinate her lungs, throat and vocal chords, according to university of Pittsburgh Voice center doctor clark rosen.

greta Hansen chats with Benefit chair maggie Sturdevant during a reception of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the Sun Valley terrace before the concert.

“Where else do you see a symphony like this?”

Symphony Seeking

Your Smiles By Karen BoSSicK

Planning on sitting in the first few rolls of the Sun Valley Pavilion during the

symphony concerts?Don’t forget to smile. The camera crew that shoots

footage for the jumbo screen on the lawn kicked it up a notch on Monday night, getting some fantastic footage of Pianist Jean Yves-Thibaudet from a vantage point looking out onto the audi-ence.

And onlookers looked WAY TOO SERIOUS.

Meanwhile, Photographer Nils Ribi, who landed a photo of Sun Valley’s national mountain bike races in the Wall Street Journal last week, says the symphony wants to put your photos on the big screen prior to each night’s concert.

Take a picture of your fellow picnickers or something else of interest and send them to [email protected]

The photos will be posted on the evening of the next concert.

Much,” when he was fifteen. “Oh, it was a stupid love song,” Thorn recalls. “I was groveling; a wom-an broke my heart and I was try-ing to get her back.” Thorn has since evolved from writing about “girls and all of that stuff,” to topics more relevant to his cur-rent life. Thorn says the hardest part about producing music is waiting on a good idea to come, and he is happiest when he has a song finished. “It’s work writ-ing a song!” Thorn insists. “You have to say something in three minutes with very few words. Everybody has good ideas, but being able to finish them—that’s a different challenge.”

Before his days as a full-time musician, Thorn was a profes-sional middleweight boxer. In 1988 he fought Roberto Duran, considered by many to be one of the greatest boxers of all time. Although he lost the fight, Thorn says boxing taught him to take his talent as far as he could take it. “When I lost to Duran, I realized I wasn’t good enough to compete at the top level, so I stopped boxing. Although I was a pretty good boxer, for me to stay in it was bad for my health,” he explains. After retiring from boxing, Thorn was able to refo-cus on his music, where he found success.

When he is not touring, writ-ing or spending time with his family, Thorn’s favorite hobby is art. In addition to art shows, his most recent artwork is available in a coffee table book that is a companion to his new record. When I asked Thorn what he

would do given a free day, he re-sponded: “Sit in the living room with my two daughters, watch cartoons and have a big bowl of Fruit Loops.” “That sounds pretty good,” I said smiling. “No, it don’t sound pretty good, it sounds awesome,” he said laughing. While it is hard to be away from his family while on tour, Thorn plans on continuing to follow his passion for music. “I’ve been blessed with talent that has given me the ability to provide for my family,” Thorn says. “That is really something to be thankful for.”

Be sure to visit Paul Thorn’s website: www.paulthorn.com, and to check him out on Face-book where he updates his fans daily. The Bellevue concert begins at 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, August 9, with local band Old Death Whisper opening.

Walkin’ the galleriesBy Karen BoSSicK

Ketchum’s art galleries will be open from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, offering art lovers a chance to peruse new art, meet some of

the artists and enjoy wine and sparkling water.Here’s a look at what you can see in addition

to the art at Friesen gallery, Frederic Boloix, gil-man contemporary and Kneeland gallery (see additional stories for information on those gal-leries).

Harvey art Projects, at 391 1st ave. n., will present marina Strocchi’s “territoryscapes.” the richly colored paintings, which hover be-tween abstraction and landscape, portray her experiences living in the central australian des-sert with aboriginal artists of the region. they feature familiar icons of the northern territory, such as dogs, birds, trees, rocks and fish.

Jeannie catchpole and Steve Behal, 300 n. main St. between Starbucks and the Pioneer Sa-loon, will present collaborative acrylics on can-vas and linen.

gail Severn gallery, 400 1st ave. n., is high-lighting the work of gary Komarin, robert Poli-dori and luis gonzales Palma.

Komarin’s layering of paint in child-like form is abstract but sometimes contains shapes that are quite legible—a wig or a hat, for instance. the forms resonate when they are at once strange and familiar.

the latin american photographer luis gon-zales Palma’s use of symbolism and collage with his photography intensify the story and intensi-ty of the moment he has captured. using ortho-chromatic film, he pulls viewers in with a haunt-ing glimpse of the human condition, whether it ibe in the soulful eyes of a girl or the dream-like essence of a memory gone by.

Polidori, a montreal photographer, is known for his architectural and urban photography. He, for instance, won the World Press award for his coverage of the getty museum’s construction.

ochi gallery, is presenting “Five decades of William Wiley”—whose view of the world is full of puns, jokes, enigmatic texts, warnings of doom and cartoons--at both of its gallery spac-es—119 lewis St. and 350 Walnut ave. the show is a compilation of work originated by the Smith-sonian american art museum in 2009-10.

Broschofsky gallery, 360 east ave., is show-ing works by Bill Barrett, russell chatham, Bran-don cook, michael coleman, edward curtis, david dixon, glen edwards, Jan grotenbreg, tom Howard, Jack Koonce, William matthews, gordon mcconnell, and theodore Villa. also,a collection of pop art with works by lichtenstein & Warhol & contemporary furniture design of steel & wood benches by isaac arms.

expressions, a new gallery located next door to Broschofsky gallery, features the intricate bronze indian sculptures of dave mcgary.

Sun Valley center for the arts, Fifth and Washington streets, is featuring a new exhibit ti-tled the literal line: minimalism then and now. the exhibition includes paintings, works on pa-per and sculpture by carl andre, ruth laskey, Sol leWitt, Brice marden, agnes martin, Wes mills, Fred Sandback and richard tuttle—many of whose work is rarely seen outside of big city museums.

SFP, 680 e. Sun Valley road, features Stepha-nie Freid-Perenchio’s photographs of “eight mil-lion children displaced.”

gallery denovo, 320 First ave. n., is featur-ing Zhang He’s “impasto impression.” Zhang He’s vigorous abstractions subtly belongs to the encompassing chinese tradition as they express the age-old preoccupation of chinese art with the mysticism of nature.

david m. norton gallery, 511 Sun Valley road, offers wonderful western paintings.

mountain images gallery, 400 Sun Valley road, features the stunning photo-scapes of James Bourret.

toneri Hink gallery, 400 Sun Valley road, features beautiful log furniture by r.c. Hink and watercolors by lynn toneri, as well as jewelry and other pieces.

See Quantum Woman at Boloix’s this Friday. courteSy PHoto

By Karen BoSSicK

Julian Voss-Andreae digs quantum physics. And he has come up

with a most unusual way to explain it to Every Man.

The German physicist-turned sculptor welds together hundreds of pieces of stainless steel to show the idea of a moving object consisting of waves.

Frederic Boloix will be showing Voss-Andreae’s new 6-foot sculptures Quantum Man and Quantum Woman during Friday’s Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m.

The stainless steel sculptures almost disappear when viewed from some angles.

“It’s almost like you’ve taken 500 snapshots of something—and every-thing’s there,” Boloix said.

Voss-Andreae designs much of his work on com-

puter, writing programs to instruct the computer how to cut the steel. He recently finished welding together 1,336 individual pieces of stainless steel for a piece he calls ‘antibody molecule’ for the Scripps Institute. It resembles a custom-made puzzle superimposed on a giant bicycle spoke.

“He’s an incredible art-ist who’ been featured in “Science” magazine and on national TV,” said Boloix of the sculptor who studied quantum physics in Ger-many and art in Portland, Ore. “He’s just a brilliant, brilliant man.”

Boloix will display Andreae’s work, along with vivid red portraits by con-temporary Spanish artist Salustiano, at his Gallery on the second floor of the Friesen Gallery at 320 First Ave. N. in Ketchum.

Don your saddle shoes and poodle skirts Saturday night when the Sun Val-

ley Summer Symphony presents “Bandstand Boogie,” the catchy theme song for Dick Clark’s “American Bandstand.”

The free concert, which will feature guest pops conductor Michael Krajewski, will lead off an evening of jukebox favorites including songs of the Beach Boys, Mamas and Papas and John Denver.

“The all-orchestral pops is going to be really fun,” said the symphony’s executive director, Jennifer Teisinger.

The next night, Yefim Bron-fman, considered one of the most talented virtuoso pianists play-ing today, will perform Proko-fiev’s “Second Piano Concerto.”

“He’s amazing,” said Teisinger. “We’ve been trying to get him for years. He gets a huge sound out of the piano.”

Here’s a look at the week ahead:

Tonight—Conductor Alasdair Neale will lead the symphony in a performance of Sergei Rach-maninoff’s epic “Symphony in E Minor” with its raucous rondo finale.

Thursday—Cellist Amos Yang, who endeared himself to the audience last week with his enchanting performance of Saint-Saens’ “The Swan,” will perform Johannes Brahms’ “Concerto in A Minor for Violin and Cello” with the symphony’s Concertmaster, Jeremy Con-stant.

There will be a free pre-con-cert talk at 4 p.m. in the Sun Valley Opera House on John Adams’ “The Chairman Dances.” The foxtrot for orchestra was in-serted into the musical menu as

an example of minimalism in the collaborative “How Much Less is More” project the symphony is doing with the Sun Valley Cen-ter for the Arts and The Commu-nity Library.

Friday—Students from the symphony’s Summer Music Workshops will present concerts at 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. The eve-ning concert features advanced students and the Philharmonia Orchestra, Chamber Ensemble, Vocal Ensemble and the Sun Valley Youth Orchestra and Chorus.

Saturday—Pops night, which includes Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock” and a disco medley comprised of such songs as “I Will Survive” and “Y.M.C.A.”

Sunday—Pianist Yefim Bronfman (no relation to Edgar M. Bronfman who sponsors the symphony’s chamber series) performs Sergio Prokofiev’s “Concert No. 2 in G Minor for Piano.”

A free pre-concert talk on Nico Muhly’s “Wish You Were Here,” another piece illustrating mini-malism in music, will be given at 4 p.m. in the Sun Valley Opera House.

Monday—The orchestra performs Mozart’s Overture to “Don Giovanni” and Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 6 in F Major.” A free concert preview will be given at 4 p.m. in the Sun Valley Opera House.

The free concerts begin at 6:30 each night in the Sun Valley Pavilion, with the exception of Friday’s 3 p.m. student concert, which will be held in addition to that night’s 6:30 concert.

A big screen, made possible by Symphony patron Elaine Wynn and an anonymous donor, is set up on the lawn outside the Pavil-ion for symphony picnickers.

Symphony Pops NightBy Karen BoSSicK

It wasn’t too long ago that Andria Friesen was

chirping about her exhibition of glass master Lino Taglia-petra’s incredibly beautiful glass works.

Now she’s bubbling about a new exhibi-tion of glass work.

The exhibit, curated by part-time Sun Valley resident Geoff Isles, features eight artists--Nicole Chesney, Richard Jol-ley, Martin Klimas, Beth Lipman, Sibylle Peretti, Erica Rosen-feld, Pamina Traylor, and Ann Wolff, who was recently honored with the 2011 Glass Art Society Lifetime Achievement in Glass award.

“Geoff’s passion is glass—it’s what he breathes and lives for,” said Friesen. And he is on the cutting edge , the very pulse of contempo-rary art. You can’t even tell that many of these pieces are glass—they look like wax, or resin. These artists are pushing the concept of glass art as we’re used to seeing it.”

Isles, a glass artist and collector himself, said he deliberately chose artists not commonly seen in the Northwest. He developed the show primarily around glass wall art because it takes a different form than people are used to.

“Glass is always tableware. These are not traditional craft sense of glass but are learning toward the art side. I have no criticism of crafts—I love crafts. But I wanted something that people would not normally see.”

Beth Lipman’s work, for instance, explores the symbolism of 17th century still life paintings through glimmering creations made of clear glass. Erica Rosenfeld has taken the concept of quilting, sewing glass into material so she gets an amazing mosaic. And German art-ist Martin Klimas blows his glass works to pieces taking a photo-graph of it set off by the noise the projectile makes on impact.

“It’s quite an endeavor,” Isles said. “The images are just beautiful, yet violent at the same time.”

Isles will be present at Friday’s Gallery Walk. He also will give a talk at 5 p.m. Thursday at Friesen Gallery, ending his talk in time for people to attend the evening’s symphony.

A Car Lover’s NirvanaBy traViS Komar

Prancing stallions, raging bulls and blowing Mus-tangs, oh my! Dorothy,

we’re not in Kansas anymore! This is the 2011 Sun Valley Road Rally (SVRR).

Let’s do the math for this year’s rally: 12,273 horsepower, divided by 24 vehicles, times three miles, equals a cumula-tive 1,534 miles per hour—more than double the overall velocity achieved last year. Progress is a beautiful thing.

The SVRR is both an austere and completely unique form of fundraising in the Wood River Valley. Owners of high-perfor-mance cars pay thousands of dol-lars for the privilege to drive as fast as their vehicle and nerves allow on a closed, three-mile sec-tion of Highway 75 north of Ket-chum. This, combined with the raffling off a Porsche Cayenne Hybrid (won by John Kingston of Bend, Ore.), a sold-out gala dinner and auction, plus approxi-mately 250 paying spectators, has cemented the Blaine County Community Drug Coalition’s (BCCDC) primary fundraising event as a true contender in the Valley.

Perhaps the Drug Coalition’s director, Terry Basolo, said it best: “I’m just so excited with how well it turned out! We elevated our event to an entirely new level by using something every American loves—the auto-mobile!”

If Basolo had been any more excited when asked how he felt, he’d have been levitating three feet above the ground.

This year’s SVRR brought together both organizations and individuals from a multitude of sources and backgrounds: Cox Communications provided the muscle via very willing volun-teers; Atkinsons’ and Silver Fox Catering stepped up with spectator and driver amenities; and Porsche USA selected the SVRR for sponsorship. (Out of approximately 60 yearly events sponsored by Porsche USA, only 8 to 10 are devoted exclusively to charity, according to Cass Whitehead, lead instructor at the Porsche USA Driving School).

The backgrounds of drivers also reveal an amazingly eclectic lot of individuals. A partial list includes a potato farmer from Jerome, a postal worker from Pocatello, a local mechanic, a retired CEO, a professional pho-tographer, a transplanted Brit, and a scion.

Their steeds of choice (no pun intended to the herd of Shelby Mustang owners) were house-hold names synonymous with power, speed and glory—The Teutonic perfection of Porsche,

a feast of senses from Italiana, the elegance of poise distilled via England, and good old-fashioned brute horsepower represented by the Big Three from Detroit. Phantom Hill was, for five hours, transformed into a car lover’s Nirvana.

Spectator reactions ran the gamut of usual descriptive adjec-tives: “Wow!” “Amazing!” “I can’t believe it!” and “Holy $#&@, that Charger was LOUD!”

Upon further reflection, one spectator stated, “If you can go 200 miles per hour and not get pulled over, you must be doing something right!”

A rather amused Australian couple, Graeme (correct Aussie spelling) and Jackie, traveling through Idaho, remarked, “That was a bloody rippa! Pure gold!” According to Google, this is a positive response in Australian.

The drivers best symbolize the soul of the rally — men and women passionate about cars and speed. One Bellevue busi-ness owner liquidated more than half his car collection in order to purchase his high school dream car, a Lamborghini. A 26-year-old U.S. Postal Service employee, who works 60-plus hours a week in order to finance his Hennessey-prepared Corvette, upon being clocked at 188 mph, commented, “I went 188 mph in a headwind. I’m damn proud of that!”

Other mature (read older) drivers spoke of a history in motorsports and personal ac-quaintances with famed racecar drivers like Graham Hill, Dan Gurnsey and Mario Andretti — drivers who have person-ally competed in the Le Mans Classic, IMSA Series and Rolex Grand Am. For these veterans, the SVRR was a pleasant way to spend their Saturday afternoon. Grey hair goes well with dia-mond eyes and steel nerves…

As the symphony of V12s, V8s and flat-6s finally stretched

and faded across the Sawtooths, the fastest team was obvious. Tom Cruise said it best in Risky Business: “Porsche—there is no substitute.”

For the second year in a row, the potato farmer from Jerome, Bob Shillington, brought his A-game and a modified Porsche GT2 to claim the top speed this year: 197 mph. And that was achieved against a 5-7 mph headwind.

The second fastest driver was Corvette pilot Joshua “Mail-man” Fehringer from Pocatello, clocked at 188 mph (also driven in a headwind).

In addition, a most deserving special mention for the third fastest driver of this year’s SVRR, Wood River local Evan Downard, who screamed through the finish line at 187 mph in a Lamborghini Murciélago.

The exact amount raised for the Blaine County Drug Coalition is still being tallied; however, it is worth noting that the St. Luke’s Wood River Foun-dation has generously provided a $100,000 grant to the BCCDC.

At the end of the day, what is most important is to remember the reason for the SVRR—to provide necessary funding to en-able the Blaine County Drug Co-alition to continue in its struggle for our local youth. Few if any issues strike closer to home in our community than this.

Fellow Valley non-profits had best check their rearview mirror, because the SVRR will be pass-ing you by in 2012.

Born and raised in the Wood River Valley, Wood River High School senior

Lucy Paisley wouldn’t have it any other way. “It’s been amaz-ing growing up here. A lot of the kids say there’s nothing to do here but they’re crazy – espe-cially in the summer. I love to go to Magic with my friends and go to the rivers and hike, bike and run. We love to dive off the cliffs and go out Democratic Gulch or bushwhack off of Broadford Road. Running is a big thing to me, which I do with my friends, and I like to go about three or four miles, which is enough for me. At night we go to the movies, have bonfires and do other fun things.” Right now, Paisley splits time between her mom’s house in Hailey and her dad’s in Bel-levue. “There’s a lot more to do in Hailey but Bellevue feels like home to me because that’s where I grew up,” she said. “One of the great things about the Valley is that everyone knows you – which can be a curse as much as a blessing. The blessing is that everyone’s there for you and if something happens there are ten people there to help you. It’s a really tight-knit community. The downside is that everyone knows everything about you and if you have an embarrassing moment the whole town knows. It can turn out to be a bad day when you’re hanging out with everyone you know from third grade.”

Paisley has had the chance to do some travelling, especially on a travel club trip to Italy, Croatia and Slovenia. “It was a road trip across the Adriatic coast and it was an amazing experience. I would kill to go back. I got a chance to see new and excit-ing cultures all built on Roman ruins. Split in Croatia is my favorite of all the cities I’ve ever been to. In the States, I’ve been to Chicago and Portland a lot and I’ve visited Austin. “Chicago is really humid but I love the Art Institute and walking the Michigan Avenue Loop. Austin was a real experience and I may go to the University of Texas. The atmosphere was so great and there was such a young demographic – it was like one big street festival. I see myself living in a city for a few years but then see myself returning to a small town. When you come back from Chicago you can at least breathe again. After Austin, I felt for a few days that there was nothing to do, but then I felt that it was

great to be home, which I always do when I travel.”

This will be Paisley’s senior year at Wood River High School, where she maintains a 3.8 grade point average. Along the way, she attended Bellevue Elemen-tary, Hailey Elementary and Wood River Middle School. “The high school is a really great school and we’re lucky to have it. When you visit other schools you really appreciate the facility and that it’s so well funded. It provides awesome opportuni-ties and the staff is terrific. The teachers really know their stuff and are really helpful on A.P. (Advanced Placement) courses.” Paisley has already completed A.P. U.S. history, economics and composition. This year she will be taking statistics, literature and government. “After A.P. classes, everything just seems a lot easier. I really lean to the sciences, especially chemistry. I think sciences are connected to the real world and are all about problem-solving. It can show how things fit together which, for me, is more interesting than art or poetry, which can be analyzed in a million ways. I like things to be black and white. In college I hope to go out of state and to major in the sciences and go into medicine because I want to pro-vide for myself with a career.”

At Wood River, Paisley is a part of National Honor Society, for which she has to maintain a high grade point average and also commit to volunteer work. “It really feels good to have the honor. I would be upset if I wasn’t a part of it and I like to set a high standard for myself.” That high standard shows through in everything she does.

movie review

By JonatHan Kane

Into the weak summer mar-ketplace comes a true adult comedy—Crazy Stupid

Love—and, from of all places, a major Hollywood studio. Not your typical high-testosterone, gross-out-filled fare that we have become so used to, but a charac-ter-driven comedy that hits all the right notes. One of the big reasons for this is the superb ensemble cast that includes Steve Carell’s finest work on the big screen and a performance by Ryan Gosling that cements him as a true star. It also includes tremendous work by the always fine Julianne Moore and the ris-ing star of Emma Stone.

Crazy Stupid Love, as its title infers, is about love in all its pain and glory. It tells the inter-secting stories of a crumbling relationship, a surprising one, and all the pain of unrequited love. The twists and turns all come together in a climatic end

that is too good to give away. At its heart as a comedy is the rela-tionship between Carell, who has been kicked out of the house by his one true love, and Gosling, the ultimate player, who decides to take him under his wing. Carell’s tutelage is hysterical and ends up having major re-percussions. Along the way both he and his estranged wife have dalliances with Marissa Tomei and Kevin Bacon, who plays the cad so well. Eventually, Gosling is tamed by the beautiful Stone as he seeks to attain the life of stability that Carell had.

Much of the credit goes to the excellent screenplay by Dan Fogelman who is best known for his work in animation – Tangled and Cars. The laughs are all derived from the characters and their situations and never shoot for the low blows – which is a great relief. Credit also goes to the directors Glenn Ficarro and John Requa (Bad Santa). The performances are terrific, for which they deserve a lot of the credit, and their handling of the material and situations is both subtle and confident. Crazy Stupid Love is a welcome relief for those seeking something of substance.

horoscopes

Mercury goes retrogade on August 2Personal relationships that

are laden with ego-related needs, desperate emotions and other private agendas can only lead to a wild ride as Venus in Leo angles playfully with Uranus in passionate Aries. Mercury goes retrograde on August 2, add-ing even more excitement and drama.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You think you know your limits, but you couldn’t possibly. Those thresholds are always changing depending on the circumstances that surround the day. Entertain the thought that you may be capable of more than you’ve ever accomplished before, and act accordingly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will be tempted to include friends in all of your activities, but think twice about this. Your leisure time is sacred -- and so are your friendships. Unpredict-able elements could get in the way of both. If you’re on vacation this week or planning one, a fewer number of people involved will be better.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The subject of what you like is not up for debate. Probably, you couldn’t even change that now if you wanted to, and the same goes for a loved one. You’ll both be happy as you follow your fas-cinations. Sometimes they will be shared interests and other times not. You won’t worry about it either way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). As anyone who’s owned a book-store can tell you, closed books are far more interesting than open books. And the most valu-able books in the store are some-times sealed in packages so that only the buyer can look inside. Use this principle in your social

life. Your mysterious presence will be irresistibly attractive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have talents that bring you more joy than money. Though you sometimes dream of becoming a professional, your amateur status allows you purity of intention. Not needing to make money at the task frees you up to express yourself in the exact way you prefer instead of binding you to popular taste.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is easier to commit to the moment when you know that doing so doesn’t obligate you in the future. You will get such a strong charge from a certain “no strings” connection that you will not be remotely worried about what, if anything, will happen in the future with this person. The reward is intrinsic in the moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The unknown makes things appear scarier than they are. When you think back to your initial apprehensions upon entering a new situation, you will find most of them laughable. Now you rule the scene and understand almost everything about it. You can still relate to, and help, the newcomer who peers in fearfully.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everything you build starts with a foundation. This week, it seems to take forever to get that foundation set up. But these initial steps are so important that you should take all the time you need to do them correctly. Stay patient. Don’t sully the process with frustration. Keep putting lovely feelings into the atmosphere.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Money, in and of itself, is not very creative. Spending a

lot doesn’t guarantee a quality outcome. And often, throwing too much money at a situation can make it worse. Be judicious in matters of finance. You can be rich with a small amount of money -- you have done this before, and you will do it again.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Avoid being too scheduled. If you keep yourself busy up to the minute, the part of you that needs freedom is likely to rebel. The unexpected will happen, and your schedule will seem to laugh in your face. Leave lots of room for following your instincts and going with the energy that’s around you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have the best kind of cre-ativity this week. It doesn’t have to do with singing, painting, dancing or doing anything in particular -- it’s an attitude. You bring your essence to everything you do. Cleaning up, moving from place to place, doing your daily work -- you add a spark to it all. Life is your playmate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll work hard this week, though not at your usual responsibilities. You have your eye on the future and will be proactively creating a better one. Revitalize a tired scene, rekindle a lost feeling and renovate your physical world. Helpers are around you, but they will wait to offer assistance until the job is underway.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: It will be easier for you to make decisions because you realize that what you do matters less than how you do it. It is the love and devotion in your approach that will make it the best choice for you. August brings luck to your personal life. tws

Kagan’s Sculptures DedicatedPHoto & Story By Karen BoSSicK

Rod Kagan was a butcher who forged scraps of Idaho’s mining heritage

into modern-day totems.The mild-mannered sculptor,

who resembled Robin Williams in his wife-rimmed glasses and beard, created totems and columns that towered as much as 16 foot above the sagebrush scrabble surrounding his home north of Ketchum. And he ended up placing them in places like the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and the Radisson Hotel in Boca Raton, Fla.

Today at 2p.m. Kagan’s family and the City of Ketchum will dedicate the newly created Ka-gan Park. The park, just north of the YMCA on Saddle Road, features a sculpture series of six “Idaho Columns” that Kagan created in 1986.

The columns, arranged as Kagan arranged them, are set amidst benches and native grasses, which allow viewers to sit and contemplate both the art-work and the mountains beyond that Kagan cherished every time he drove to Baldy to ski.

Kagan, who cited a long slender grandfather’s clock his parents owned for his original inspiration, picked the site for the park himself shortly before he passed away in December of a brain tumor.

Gallery Owner Gail Severn said the Ketchum Arts Com-mission, which organized the project, felt that Kagan’s work was significant given Ketchum’s mining history.

“People wanted to remember that a sculptor of that caliber lived in Idaho,” she said. “He was internationally recognized artist. His vision of totemic form related to the Indians in this area, even back to Egypt. But he made them his, beautifully executing them.”

Kagan’s family donated the sculptures. Benjamin Castel-

lano-Wood and Gail Severn raised monies for transportation, installation, landscape design, ongoing maintenance, benches and plaques.

In-kind contributions were provided by Adam Elias of Elias Construction, Matt Morell of Morell Engineering, Architect Steve Pruitt, Doug Clemens of Clemens Associates,and Phreds Fabrication.

“The park has an outstanding view of Baldy and nothing will ever be built in front of it,” noted Severn.

Tim Kagan said Rod, who moved to Sun Valley in 1973, would be pleased to see the piece, which resided in his backyard in Chocolate Gulch for so many years, enjoyed by the entire Wood River Valley.

“Rod lived and created art here for close to 40 years, and he loved this community dearly,” Tim Kagan said.

Tax-deductible contributions are still being accepted in support of the project. Contact Benjamin Castellano-Wood at 208-726-0621 for more infor-mation.

rod Kagan’s “idaho columns” tower between 18 and 25 feet into the sky. Ka-gan built them with discarded metal from idaho mines and scrap yards, adding wheels, pulleys and cables to them. Kagan often decorated his totems and col-umns with “secret” crosses, fish, hearts and bowties, as well.

HEro’S JourNEY

A Sun Valley Adaptive Sports Summer Benefit

By Karen BoSSicK

Sun Valley Adaptive Sports will hold its first-ever sum-mer benefit on Thursday,

Aug. 11.The evening, titled “A Hero’s

Journey…” will start at 6 p.m. at the River Run Lodge with no host cocktails, wine and beer, appetizers and a silent auction.

Dinner will follow at 7:30 p.m. and will feature a live auction of items such as a golf and condo package in Hawaii, fly-fishing on the Big Lost River, a scenic flight and sniper training.

The evening will also feature a presentation by Col. David W. Sutherland, who has been involved in Kuwait, Operation Desert Shield, Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He is currently serving as Special Assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, focusing on Warrior and Family programs.

In that line he is on a “50 States in 50 weeks” tour that is taking him across the country to find resources and donor programs supporting return-ing warriors, veterans, their families and the families of the fallen.

The night will conclude with dancing to the Straight-Up Band.

Sun Valley Adaptive Sports works with disabled skiers, Spe-cial Olympics and troops who are recovering from combat-related injuries. It organized fly-fish-ing, whitewater rafting, skiing and other therapeutic recreation opportunities for 64 vets and their significant others this year. And this month it will hold the first Flight School for wounded warriors in the country, as it trains five veterans to paraglide off Baldy.

The name “Hero’s Journey” was chosen for the event because “it’s always going to be a journey for those people with disabili-ties,” said Erin Rheinschild, executive director of Sun Valley Adaptive Sports. “They’re never going to reach their destina-tion—it’s a process. In addition, the name honors those heroes of the military. We wanted a name that encompasses all we do and this fit.”

Tickets to the event are $150, available by calling 208-726-9298. tws

briefssummer camp youth

Make differenceSummer camp is known for friends

and outdoor fun, but at camp Perkins in the Sawtooth mountains of idaho, youth are also encouraged to help a world in need. this year, their Sum-mer mission Project is raising funds to benefit the lutheran malaria ini-tiative (lmi). lmi has joined other in-ternational organizations in a global effort to end malaria deaths in africa by 2015.

camp Perkins executive director Signe White explains, “We want chil-dren and teens to have a fantastic time at camp and develop life skills like confidence and independence, but we believe it’s also important to inspire a sense of responsibility as global citizens and foster a spirit of compassion and giving. the Summer mission Project provides an avenue to educate youth about a serious need and allows them to participate in making a difference.” last summer, the project benefited an orphanage in Haiti, and in 2009 it sup-ported the idaho Food Bank and the Hunger coalition of Blaine county. So far this summer, campers have raised $3,100 for lmi.

almost half the world’s population is at risk for contracting malaria, with over 90 percent of reported malaria deaths occurring in africa. the ma-jority of those deaths are pregnant women and children under the age of five. learn more about fighting this preventable and treatable disease at www.campPerkins.org/news.

Walmart could benefit hunger

this summer, employees from Walmart and Sam’s club Stores state-wide will award one of five idaho non-profit organizations a $100,000 grant through the Walmart Foundation associate choice Program. For the Hunger coalition, this award means wholesome food, welcome hope, and vital support services for hundreds of local families facing hunger and un-able to make ends meet.

Walmart associates can cast their votes from June 18 through august 6 for one of the following organizations: the Hunger coalition, idaho Public television, children’s Home Society of idaho, idaho meth Project or idaho Special olympics.

With seven interrelated programs, the Hunger coalition operates on the belief that it takes more than food to fight hunger.

as an honored participant in the Walmart Foundation associate choice Program, the Hunger coalition con-gratulates Walmart on their sincere dedication to hunger relief.

habitat for non-humanity

Birds – they are oratorsBy Bali SZaBo

Camping, especially in remote, quiet places, leads to frequent encounters

with various animals, small and large. One of those interac-tions is the wake-up call. In the Tetons, it’s invariably a squirrel. Above treeline, it’s the endan-gered pika. The squirrel jumps on top of the tent at dawn and lets out a loud screech no one can sleep through. In the Dakota Badlands, every morning it’d be a meadowlark, with its beak wide open, releasing its aria. I learned why poets and lyricists laud the bird. In Arches National Park, in Utah, I camped (with a wilderness permit) under a pinon, near a wash. The tent stayed cool, and in the morn-ing the tree came alive with an entire glee club in song. They kept it up for half an hour. It was pure enchantment, and it’s a big reason why I prefer tents to motels, though they both have their place.

At Fourth of July Lake, in the White Clouds, it’s always the birds. Some birds have their song down; others are a work in progress. Somewhere around 4 a.m., one of them started up—a tad early, even by avian standards. The first couple of trills went well, but then came the missed notes and the blown notes, the half-finished phrases. It all sounded like the bird need-ed a drink to clear its throat(s) or, possibly, had one drink too many, like the crooner in the shower trying on the ‘Impossible Dream.’

The halting birdsong was

probably a fledgling learning its particular language. Along with a few other animals (humming-birds, parrots, bats, elephants and humans), most birds have to learn their song. With birds, there are always exceptions, and endless variations on a basic pattern. Maybe it’s why they love music. An Eastern phoebe is not a vocal learner, posing a puzzle as to how the trait evolved. Much of animal vocalization is geneti-cally programmed. Birds don’t have to learn how to fly. Baby songbirds learn to speak just like infants: they hear, memo-rize, mimic and babble. What I was hearing was the fledgling’s learning curve that takes about a month—their first month.

‘Birdbrain’ is another one of those insults that apply more to humans than to birds. For instance, bats aren’t blind, but many people do have myopia. As in people, speech develop-ment takes place in the frontal

lobe. It turns out birds’ brains are far more sophisticated than we knew. For instance, recent studies have shown that their language is not limited to just calls, song and alarm. They learn syntax by listening, speak in sentences and have well-de-veloped grammar. Tape-recorded playback of a finch showed they only respond to properly ordered sentences, and not the jumbled ones. Their ability to analyze information and to reply in kind is far more advanced than any-thing a monkey could handle. This has major implications for our understanding of ‘complex-ity’—but more on that later. Allegedly, this is all of interest because of what we can learn about human cognitive develop-ment and frontal lobe damage repair after a stroke. For me, these wake-up calls are all about the birds, and plants do not have to have any human uses to be worthwhile.

wildflower walks

Lewis’s monkeyflowerBy Karen BoSSicK

Lewis’s monkeyflower is a showy, rose-colored, five-petaled flower that’s hard

to miss, as it often appears in bushy form.

It got its name from a young German botanist who clas-sified the botanic material collected by the Lewis and Clark expedition. The explorers are believed to have first spotted the flower at the headwaters of the Missouri River just below Lemhi Pass near the Idaho/Montana border.

It is also known as a red or rose monkeyflower, although it doesn’t resemble a monkey as much as a tuba, thanks to the tube-like petals with their lips.

The botanical name, “mimulus lewisii,” is believed to refer to the smile that its lips make.

The flower features two yellow stripes in its throat. Bees enter the mouth of the flower and crawl into its tubular corolla to pollinate the flower. They’re dusted with the yellowish pollen as their backs rub against the pollen-bearing anthers. They

then carry the pollen to the next flower, depositing their load as they enter the mouth and come in contact with that flower.

The plant has lance-shaped, sticky, hairy and slightly in-dented leaves that grow opposite one another.

It’s found during July and early August in wet places, such as the West Fork of Norton Creek in the Baker Creek area and Mahoney Creek in Green-horn Gulch.

editor’s note:Learn more about

wildflowers on a guided wildflower walk offered by the Sawtooth Botanical Garden.

The garden will offer its last walk of the season from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on a trail west of Norton Lake. Joining the walk will be Do-reen Saddler, who has do-nated the publishing rights of her wildflower guide, “Along Boggy Trails,” to raise funds for the garden.

The walk costs $10 for members and $15 for non-members and leaves from the garden, which is located at Highway 75 and Gimlet Road a few miles south of Ketchum. Walkers should bring water and lunch.

“We are members of a vast cosmic orchestra in which each living instrument is essential to the complimentary and harmo-nious playing of the whole.” J. Allen Boone

While shopping for the Hailey Library Garden Tour, in a local nurs-

ery, a quote on their blackboard caught my attention: “If tomor-row the world should fall to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.” I instantly related. Memories of the so-called Great Depression swept across my mind. People often ask me, “How was it living during those difficult times?” My answer is always the same, “I didn’t know anything else.”

Living on a farm in northern Missouri, my family didn’t have much financially; however, we had a rich supply of food. There were vegetables from our garden, milk and butter from the cows, eggs from the chickens, and corn from the fields. It was in nature and goodness that my life began its journey. With no radio and no television, I felt no fear.

Remaining calm and centered in today’s uncertain world is a challenge. Even though it has not been proclaimed a “Depres-sion,” our country is divided and

crumbling before our very eyes. The sounds of destruction rest heavily on our hearts.

Most of us, as human beings, do care about the sadness and suffering that revolves around us. Collectively, we still have much work to do. As individu-als, we each have the means and power to fine-tune our emotions and connect to a worldwide flow of positive energy.

Throughout the ages, men and women have sought to align their spirits with the creative power that surrounds us in na-ture. We each have a cosmic beat within us that connects to the rhythm of the Universe.

As you can see from the begin-ning of this article, I was not born into the digital world of Facebook, Twitter, and so on. I believe this is great if the pres-ent generation can manage their energy with awareness and at-tention to the global community.

The earth is at our feet wait-ing for our connection. Stand firmly upon it, and give thanks. Or, perhaps, plant an apple tree.

The U.S. electrical grid is a large interconnected elec-tric power transmission

and delivery network comprised of hundreds of thousands of miles of high-voltage transmis-sion lines and millions of miles of local distribution lines. Electric-ity is generated from a variety of electric sources—coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, natural gas and renewable (wind, solar, etc.) —across an alternating current (AC) network, which allows electric power frequency to be stepped up and down to give power operators the ability to safely transmit power over both short and long distances. There are three main components of an electrical grid: generation, transmission and distribution. Transmission voltages range from 765 kV at the upper levels down to 115 kV. Distribution

voltages are generally anything less than that.

In the U.S., power is gener-ated, transmitted and delivered by a wide variety of utilities: gov-ernment-owned power genera-tors like the Tennessee Valley Authority, investor-owned utili-ties like Pacific Gas & Electric, and smaller regional, municipal and rural utilities that serve much smaller populations. The regulatory structure of the U.S. varies by location. In some states, utilities are regulated monopolies that are empow-ered to generate, transmit and distribute electricity. In other states, the industry is deregulat-ed, meaning that utilities cannot own and operate more than a single grid component (genera-tion, transmission, distribution) at the same time.

Fishing RepoRtThe “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR Aug. 3, 2011By: Jim sAnTA

The Magic Fly - Spend any time behind the fly counter in any fly

shop and you’ll experience the ever present search for “the magic fly.” I’m here to tell you, it doesn’t exist. While my business is dependent on suggesting and selling flies, there is no one magic bug. While on any given day one fly may easily be the most productive, don’t fool your-self into believing that nothing else will work. Any good guide will tell you it’s much more about presentation. While one may have the most productive bug of the day, it’s worthless without a good presentation. When looking at flies the most important factors are size and profile. If you’ve got a reasonable match of these two factors and a good presentation, you’ll likely have success.

Now on some waters, especially spring creeks such Silver Creek, the bug selection is more critical. Most spring creeks are known for great mayfly hatches and with so much natural feed, matching the hatch becomes an important factor in the fish selecting your fly vs. all the naturals on the water. It needs to look like the real thing. Presentation however is even more critical in this situation as any un-natural movements of the fly will quickly give you away.

To illustrate the point being made I’ll use my friend Bruce as an example. Bruce is an ex-cellent fisherman and loves to fish anywhere, but in particular, the challenge of Silver Creek allures him. With the huge variety of spe-cific mayfly patterns available at the fly shop, Bruce can typically be found fishing a size 18 or 20 parachute adams, the most popular basic mayfly imitation in the west. Bruce has excellent presentation skills and catches a lot of fish in very challenging water. He matches size and profile and has the right presentation. While diverse selection of flies is advised, there is not one “magic bug”. There is a “magic presentation”.

For this week I will suggest having a bunch of size 16 mayfly patterns for daytime on the Big Wood and a bunch of size 14-18 caddis for the late evening hatch. On Silver Creek you may expect a mix of trico, baetis and cal-libaetis mayflies. And of course, presentation, presentation, presentation.

Starcatchers on Broadway

By Karen BoSSicK

The play version of “Peter and the Starcatchers” by “Jersey Boys” screen-

writer Rick Elice did so well off-Broadway that the producer of “Wicked” is making noise about taking it to Broadway.

In addition, Disney has designs on making a movie ver-sion, thanks to a youngster who told Disney executives that they should be making original con-tent like that of the book, rather than all the remakes it makes.

“Peter and the Starcatchers” was written by local detective novelist Ridley Pearson and Miami humor writer Dave Barry to answer the question of how Peter became the boy who would not grow up.

Said an AM New York review: “Spider-Man” could learn a thing or two from “Peter and the Starcatcher,” an endlessly imagi-native prequel to “Peter Pan” based on Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s children’s adventure novel.”

Breck Front Porch. courteSy PHoto

By Karen BoSSicK

Each owner has put their own unique stamp on the homes that will be fea-

tured on Saturday’s annual Tour of Homes.

Toni and Peter Breck, for instance, built their home to resemble a Belgian farmhouse after Toni was taken with the neutral muddy colors and weath-ered patina of such architecture.

David and Jill Hitchin’s home with its distinctive arched cop-per roof embodies the flavor of their travels, thanks to such fea-tures as the stone fountain they patterned after the Aga Kahn’s signature fountain in Sardinia.

Landscape Architect James and Ellen Gillespie remodeled a tumbledown board and bat-ten ski house into the epitome of simplicity and low mainte-nance—with a green roof on the guest cottage that’s planted with native plants that do well in shallow soil.

And architect Mark Pynn’s home built of native Idaho quartzite leads through a 6-by-8-foot pivoting glass door to a master suite with a huge cantilevered “sky terrace” with a 270-degree view to the north.

“This year’s homes are all very different,” said Tour Organizer Colleen Crain. “They include a very modern rock and glass home, a home with lots of water features and native landscaping, a home modeled after a Belgian farmhouse and a home with the feel of a national park lodge. And all of these homeowners have to

go the extra mile with their lawn because they live just far enough north that they get a lot more snow than Ketchum residences.”

You can see these homes for yourself on Saturday when The Community Library in Ketchum hosts its annual Tour of Homes.

The 32nd annual tour visits these four multi-million dollar homes just north of Ketchum between Lake Creek and Eagle Creek roads.

The bus-serviced tour begins at 10 a.m. at the library at 415 Spruce Ave. Tour-goers can see the homes until 4 p.m.

A garden party for tour-go-ers will be held with live music, finger sandwiches, quiche, fruit, cookies and other refreshments from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Stonegate home of Leslie and Neil Bradshaw.

Tickets are $75, available at the library or by calling 208-726-3493.

It consists of pieces of glass not much bigger than hair. But those pieces of glass

enable pulses of light travel at speed of light.

And the completion of The Community Library’s fiber optics project means that an Internet connection that had been on the verge of collapse is now one of the fastest in the West.

The library will now be able to stream high-definition videos in the lecture room and stream lectures to Idaho Public TV. And patrons at each of the library’s 35 computer stations will be able to call up a You Tube video without knocking out the system as just one You Tube video could do before.

Two budding teen-age philan-thropists—Victoria and Theo Wood—jumpstarted the fund-raising for the project, donating

$5,000 each to the project. Their donations were matched by their parents and inspired others in the community to donate to the project, which cost about $122,000 in all.

Syringa Networks donated $40,000 of labor to hook up the library. Then the Boise-based fiber optics business turned around and brought the tail-gate grill it takes to Boise State University football games to Ketchum to celebrate. Bill Coale and others from Syringa served up hamburgers and hot dogs to about 150 people last Thurs-day as the Community Library celebrated the completion of bandwidth project.

Humor columnist Dave Barry, who spoke at the library that evening, congratulated the library and the community for the addition: “Now you can waste time faster than ever,” he quipped.

calendar, from page 11 financial planning

By tracy SilVer, marKet PreSident, u.S. BanK

Having a good credit history is more important than you might realize. Not only does it give you

quick approval for a major purchase like a car, boat or home, it can also be your ticket to getting better interest rates on loans and credit cards, which can help you save money in the long run. It may also be a deciding factor for insurance companies, landlords and potential employers, who can legally view your credit.

One of the tools financial institutions like U.S. Bank use to gauge your credit worthiness is your FICO score. A FICO score is the credit score created by Fair Isaac Corporation. It ranges from 300 to 850, and a higher score tells banks and creditors that you have a positive track record for paying off your debt in a responsible and timely manner. Having a good score can make life easier in a variety of ways.

If your score is not where you want it to be, don’t worry. You can learn how to improve your score and keep it higher. Here are four steps you can take to help give your FICO score a boost:

1. Check your credit report. You can get a free copy of your credit report and determine your FICO score from each of the three credit reporting agen-cies at www.annualcreditreport.com.

2. Make your mortgage, credit card and loan payments on time. To err is human, and it’s easy to acciden-tally overlook making a payment before the due date from time to time. You may want to mark your calendar with a reminder a few days in advance of your monthly due dates or, for an even more low-maintenance method, you can set up automatic payments through online bill pay services so your payments will always be on time.

3. Be proactive if you see finan-cial roadblocks ahead. If you have an unexpected financial hardship such

as the loss of a job or major health problems and anticipate that you won’t be able to make payments on time, contact your lenders as soon as possible to notify them of the situation. Many times they will be able to work with you on alternative payment plans as long as you are being proactive and up-front with them.

4. If you need to establish or re-build your credit history, consider opening a small credit card ac-count. Maintaining a credit card ac-count in good standing is a great way to build a credit history that shows lenders you are responsible and creditworthy, BUT only do so if you are absolutely confident the debt will be repaid quickly. If used appropriately, credit cards are wonderful; but, if used inappropriately, they are extremely expensive and can end up being a financial noose around your neck.

Even if you are someone who doesn’t often use credit cards, or you don’t think you will need a loan in the near future, having good credit is important, and can open doors for when you truly need it. Check out U.S. Bank’s Credit Wellness Center at www.creditwellness.usbank.com to learn more about why credit matters and ways to improve your score. Videos and other resources are available, and you can even test your knowledge by taking an interactive quiz.

Just like your physical health, main-taining good credit health is an ongoing process, and your specific credit health needs will likely change over time. But with a little focus and attention annu-ally, you can reap financial benefits that will last a lifetime.

Improve Your Credit HealthThe Tragedy on

Grand MogulAuthor Discussion this

Thursday at Hailey LibraryBy Bali SZaBo

Mountains, like the sea, can be dangerous, and can take the life of the novice or the well-prepared.

On July 15, 2006, young mountaineer Jon Francis climbed the 9,733-foot Grand Mogul that rises at the head of Redfish Lake. For his descent, he chose a route less travelled, the Chockstone Couloir (gully) that tra-verses the north face. The long rock trench steepens (40-degree gradient) near its end and empties out into a debris/snowfield mix. The route was very doable but, as the Sawtooth Mountain Guides’ Erik Leidecker said, “Jon would have had to make a lot of good decisions.” Somewhere near here, a misstep cost Jon his life. His remains were found a year later in this snowfield.

Jon’s father, David Francis, a Minne-sotan, devout Christian and author of the book, Bringing Jon Home, will discuss all that happened after the fatal fall on Thursday, August 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the Hailey Public Library. The book recounts and indicts Idaho’s bare-minimum Search and Rescue (SAR) efforts, the great dedi-cation of the volunteers and the various technical aspects of official and unofficial SARs and human remains searches. This was an exhaustive effort into October: 114 search teams, 391 searcher days, 50 canine searcher days, and $40,000. A cadaver dog got a scent from the north face, but nothing was found until the following year, when the search was focused there.

David Francis needed closure. He also felt that Jon deserved a decent burial, and that his body decomposing and being picked apart by predators was not a dignified death. Here in the West, many think that if you die with your boots on, you die well, and Custer County Sheriff Tim Eikens said as much.

David Francis wouldn’t accept that and continued the unsanctioned search until his son’s remains were found on July 24, 2007.

Still GrowingAt my last yard sale, a woman

came with her young son. Whileshe rummaged through the kid'sclothes, the young boy lookedaround.

"Come here and try this," theMom said as she held up a shirtthat was clearly too big for him.When he refused it, she replied,"But you'll grow into it."

After a few minutes, she againcalled him over and held up anoth-er oversized shirt. He rolled hiseyes, but she encouraged, "You'llgrow into it."

The boy continued around thesale until he came upon a 52-inchscreen TV. Immediately he beganbegging his Mom to buy it for him.

"No," she replied. "It's too big." Pausing for a moment, the boy

looked up and said, "But I'll growinto it."

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,Our baby girl is due early nextyear. My husband and I havestarted shopping for the baby'sroom, but we can't believe theprice of everything in depart-ment stores. At yard sales I seeall sorts of cute clothes, toysand baby paraphernalia for afraction of the price. But I'mafraid of all the germs on sec-ond hand stuff. Any advice onhow to make used baby toys,stuffed animals, playpens,clothes, etc. "brand new" clean?

• • •Cash: If your think

the baby items areexpensive, wait untilthe teenager years whenshe wants to go shoppingfor clothes. Fortunately,yard sales are a great option foryou to outfit the baby's room.

Carry: As for the germs, it'squite simple to give your itemsthat "brand new" feel that youdesire.

Cash: First, let's run throughsome of the items you mentioned.When it comes to clothing, a sim-ple washing with laundry deter-gent should do the trick.

Carry: In fact, most stuffed ani-mals, if they are filled with poly-ester stuffing, can be washed inthe washing machine as well.

Afterward, just set them out todry. In the sun is preferred, asthey may take a while to dry thor-oughly.

Cash: That's how Carry stillcleans his stuffed animals!

Carry: Many of the toys youfind will be plastic. For these,there are many disinfectant spraysor washes that you can use to wipethem down or soak them with in atub of water.

Cash: If you'd like a solutionwithout the harsh chemicals, trymixing four tablespoons of bakingsoda with a quart of water. Thenwipe the toy with this solution,rinse or damp wipe and dry.

Carry: This procedure wouldbe the same for items like cribs,changing tables or playpens.However, just make sure youcompletely cover all the surfaceswhen you clean with any of theproducts.

Cash: There are some babyitems we suggest you avoid at ayard sale. These include personalitems like pacifiers, baby bottlenipples, etc. These items are fair-ly inexpensive so it's worth buyingthem new.

Carry: And if you ever have adifficult time finding toys, justpick up a cardboard box. We allknow the kids love those best!

Cost of KidsYou can't put a price on chil-

dren. However, you can put a coston raising them. According to thestudy by the U.S. Department ofAgriculture, a middle income fam-ily can expect to spend over$200,000 (when factoring in infla-tion) for food, shelter and othernecessities through age 17.Housing costs are the largestexpense averaging over $60,000or nealy 33 percent of the totalover the 17 years. Food ranks sec-ond at over $30,000 or about 17percent of the total. Toys,Toys & More Toys

In some states like Texas,California and Florida, the aver-age was even higher. With theincreased desire for electronictoys at earlier ages, you can expectthe average to increase in comingyears. So on your next trip to themall, consider following a fewyard sale signs on the way. It maybring your average cost down.

510 thank you notesMy Heart is filled with Gratitude! I’ve just recently spent the last ten days in Hailey and I can’t even imagine leaving without saying “thank you” to so many. It all began when I arrived to help my mom, Vee Riley, with her garden. Her garden was on the tour and together we made last minute finishing touches. To all the people involved from start to finish, thank you! For all the individuals and busi-nesses that gave so willingly, thank you! For Sun Summit South, for do-nating the Women’s “Simple” Cruiser Bike for the raffle, and finally to The Hailey Public Library for all that you do! Show your appreciation! Say thanks with a FREE 40-word thank you note, right here. e-mail your ad to [email protected].

518 ravesIf you missed the stellar (and some-times jaw-dropping) 7/26 episode of “America’s Got Talent”, go to http://www.nbc.com/agt and see that night’s acts -- particularly opera phenom LYN AGNES, 50-year-old PROFESSOR SPLASH (who jumped some 36’ 7” into just 12 inches of wa-ter!!!), 12-year-old singing sensation MONET, magician SETH GRABEL ... and Boise’s own SUPERWIND SKIP-PERS (dazzling synchronized jump-ropers!!!) Btw, they’ll soon be hold-ing auditions throughout the U.S. for season 7 of “AGT”, just in case you maybe think you’ve what it takes to score big there... :) That hilarious British comedy TV series, “Outnumbered”, that airs on Saturdays at 9:30 p.m. on channel 10 here currently is only available in For-mat 2 (for UK and Ireland DVD play-ers) -- not Format 1 (for North Ameri-can players) -- nor are episodes of the show apparently available at any of the websites I’ve checked (includ-ing Hulu, Fantast and BBC America). But numerous extended (and verrrry funny) clips of this BBC series can be seen at http://www.youtube.com. And later this year, the PBS site will have streaming episodes of “Out-numbered” seasons 1-3 (2007- 2010) that you can watch in their entirety online there. Stay tuned....
