IN CAREY, LOTS OF WATER BUT NO CRISIS standing water pools in a farm field along u.s. highway 26 in carey on Friday. record snowfall last winter melted into near-record flooding in the Wood river valley this spring, but the u.s. bureau of reclamation’s regulation of outflows from the little Wood river reservoir above carey largely prevented flooding there. according to mayor randy Patterson, carey lake, which is typically marshland, is currently full to the brim. “actually, it’s not really flooding,” Patterson said. “it’s full, and it’s not very common that it’s full.” nonetheless, some low-lying agricultural lands have been covered by water.

Hailey residents persevere in flooded areas City could face challenges in paying for damages By TONY TEKARONIAKE EVANS

t’s been nearly two months since the Big Wood River first jumped its banks during what will almost certainly be a record spring flooding event in Hailey. The waters have now receded well below flood stage, yet numerous homes remain surrounded by water that continues to flow through neighborhoods in the southwestern part of the city. “At this point, I’m starting to get angry,” said Frank Silvoni, a resident of Della Vista Drive who was without electricity for seven weeks as water 2 feet deep surrounded his home. He ran four pumps 24 hours per day to keep water out of his house, borrowing power from a next-door neighbor. Silvoni and a contingent of his neighbors appear perplexed at why the city or county has not taken steps to reduce the

“There is a sense that the community has forgotten about this neighborhood.”

A water call potentially affecting hundreds of groundwater rights in the Wood River Valley has been dismissed. On June 7, Idaho Department of Water Resources Director Gary Spackman dismissed the petition from the Big Wood and Little Wood Water Users Association because the association lacked standing in the case. In response to a motion to dismiss the case, Spackman ruled that the association was not the proper party to bring the petition. Rather, individual senior water rights holders who are part of the association’s membership should file petitions, Spackman ruled. “Because the individual water right holders who are members of the association are indispensable to proper resolution of this contested case, the holders of individual senior priority water rights must petition for delivery of their water rights,” Spackman wrote in the ruling. “The association does not have standing to petition for delivery of its members’ senior priority water rights and to seek a general remedy for all the senior priority water right holders.” The association filed the petition in March, asking Spackman to regulate junior water-rights holders upstream. An attorney representing the association, Joseph James of Gooding, did not return a phone call seeking comment on whether the petition would be refiled. The association’s first petition was filed in 2015, but was dismissed in 2016. A district judge issued an order that the association had not properly filed the case or properly served the parties involved. A curtailment order affecting groundwater users in the Wood River Valley was possible if Spackman granted the 2017 petition. The cities of Ketchum, Hailey, Bellevue, two groundwater districts, Sun Valley Co., the Sun Valley Water and Sewer District, farmers and ranchers in the south valley and others joined the case in opposition to the petition. The association represented irrigators in the Gooding and Shoshone area, who divert water out of the Big Wood and Little Wood rivers and have water rights dating to the 1880s. The See WATER, Page 16

fter three years of revisions, Bellevue’s revised comprehensive plan and land-use map are now official. At the Bellevue City Council’s regular meeting Monday evening, residents applauded as council members unanimously (with the absence of Councilman Craig Wolfrom) approved the long-awaited plan and map. Both had been set for council action May 22, but a noticing error pushed the vote back a month. “It’s time, folks,” Mayor Chris Koch said. “Everybody that’s here that’s been working on it—thank you.” Community Development Director Diane Shay said in an interview that the revised plan included myriad changes made during the three-year revision process, but that the essence of the plan was to “permit responsible development moving forward.” “It permits the development of smaller lots, moving forward—of more dense development,” Shay said. “It’s more current in terms of current planning trends.” The plan was last updated in 2002. For the second consecutive meeting, the council voted to continue discussion on increasing water and sewer rates pending clarification of what certain accounts in the Water and Sewer departments’ budgets could be spent on. City Treasurer Kathy Clark said she had confirmed account balances and yearly carryover for both departments with the help of an auditor, but she and the auditor need to further review state code to determine how funds could be spent. Public Works Director Frank

Suwanrit explained that water and sewer funds are proprietary, meaning they are raised through fees and can be spent within the departments only as allowed by law because the budgets are isolated from the rest of city funds. “I need a better understanding of these numbers, at least for the sewer fund, so I have better numbers, so I can plug them into the spreadsheet” of rate increase projections, Suwanrit said. Councilman Robert Leahy also pointed out that Wolfrom previously requested information on how much of a cash down-payment the city would need to save within the Sewer Department budget to fund an eventual upgrade to the city’s wastewater treatment facility. Clark said she was still working to determine that information as of Monday evening. The council voted unanimously to continue the discussion of water and sewer rate increases to the body’s July 10 meeting.

istrative Department budget, rather than splitting costs into fees charged to all departments. In analyzing the departments’ administrative fees, Clark and Suwanrit found that even though the Water and Sewer departments are charged a combined $177,912 in administrative fees, the Administrative Department spends far less than that on those departments. Clark suggested adjusting that fee to $95,000 to compensate administrative time spent on those departments while bringing other costs into the Administrative Department budget. Aside from shuffling administrative expenses, Clark’s presentation on a draft Administrative Department budget also included $15,000 for new computers and $5,000 to compensate an unnamed city employee for work he or she does as the de facto city administrator, a position Bellevue currently does not have. The draft budget does not offer employee raises and has a net surplus of $805. Shay said in the Community Development Department budget workshop that “my budget hasn’t really changed substantially from last year.” Minor changes include a sign permit fee increase from $200 to $300 and a proposal to spend funds from an unfilled position within the department on compensation for City Clerk Amanda Karst for work she does in the department. Suwanrit said the Streets Department budget was largely unchanged from previous years. “It’s basically the same things we do from year to year,” he said.

The draft

budget does not offer employee raises and has a net surplus of $805.

Budget workshops The council also discussed reorganizing the city’s administrative fees. Currently, citywide administrative fees, such as internet bills and copier costs, are split among eight departments in “an arbitrary determination,” Clark said, with each department paying a fee to the Administrative Department for a percentage of administrative costs. In the meeting’s Administrative Department budget workshop, Clark proposed consolidating much of the administrative costs across departments into the Admin-

However, Suwanrit did propose that the city lease snowremoval equipment instead of continuing to buy and own equipment. He said repairs to the city’s grader put the department over budget in years past, and that leasing is “going to be better for us in the long run, just because of those repair bills.” Suwanrit said Hailey leases snow equipment on a five-year term and the equipment carries a five-year warranty, minimizing Hailey’s repair costs.

Other Bellevue news The City Council unanimously approved pursuing a purchase agreement to buy a fire truck from Hailey for $40,000. The truck, a 1996 model with 16,000 miles, is in far better condition than Bellevue’s 1983 truck with more than 80,000 miles, Fire Chief Greg Beaver said. Further, he said, the newer truck comes with “probably $40,000 of tools,” including ladders, hoses, nozzles and extrication equipment. “One [truck] similar to this would be $80,000 to $150,000,” he said. The city hopes to buy the truck with two payments of $20,000—one this fiscal year and the second next year. l The council authorized two new city credit cards—one for the Marshal’s Office and one for the Community Development Department. Those departments currently lack cards, Karst said, making some purchases difficult and complicating the city’s accounts payable. “Just in regard to paying bills in a timely fashion, it makes my life easier and it makes department heads’ lives easier,” she said. The council also approved raising all department credit card purchase limits from $1,000 to $2,500, but all purchases greater than $1,000 will require council approval. l

Ohio Gulch waste transfer station crews push dirt onto a fire in a construction debris pit in an effort to smother the blaze. Firefighting crews worked the fire beginning at 5:45 a.m. Friday, eventually knocking down the flames by 2 p.m.

Ohio Gulch pit fire extinguished Blaze erupted Friday morning, filled valley with smoke By JOSHUA MURDOCK Express Staff Writer

After filling the mid-Wood River Valley with smoke Friday morning, a fire at the Ohio Gulch waste transfer station north of Hailey was extinguished by that afternoon. The fire broke out during predawn hours in the area where construction debris is deposited at the transfer station. According to Wood River Fire & Rescue Assistant Chief Craig Aberbach, who is also the Hailey fire chief, crews were dispatched to the scene at 5:34 a.m. Aberbach was first to reach the scene, he said, arriving at 5:45 a.m. and followed by firefighters from Wood River Fire & Rescue and the Hailey Fire Department. “The challenging thing on that call was an ambulance was on a

medical call, so staffing was limited,” Aberbach said. Firefighting crews equipped with two fire trucks and five tenders doused the blaze with water at a rate between 400 and 1,000 gallons per minute, Aberbach said, eventually pumping 150,000200,000 gallons on the fire. At the same time, and where it was safe to do so, transfer station workers used heavy equipment to push dirt into the pit containing the fire in an attempt to smother the flames, he said. County Commissioner Jacob Greenberg, who also went to the scene Friday morning, said firefighters “worked really hard and did a great job.” Around 2 p.m., Aberbach said, no more flames were visible and new smoke was minimal, so firefighting crews began packing up while transfer-station crews con-

tinued to smother the fire with dirt. Aberbach said Tuesday morning that the fire’s cause would likely remain unknown. A number of circumstances could have led to the blaze, he said, offering examples of a discarded battery or household chemicals mixing together. “Something like that in the pit, it could’ve been burning for hours,” he said. “It really is impossible to tell.” Aberbach said the transfer station covers layers of waste with layers of dirt, creating earthen barriers between stacked layers of waste in the pit, which prevented the blaze from being larger than it was. Greenberg said the fire is likely to prompt the Southern Idaho Solid Waste District to reconsider what is allowed in the construction-debris waste dump.

Developers of a proposed gas station in north Ketchum have applied for a conditional-use permit, just as the City Council is preparing to consider a zoning amendment that would effectively ban the project. Would-be developer Roy Bracken and his team have been working on the proposal for more than a year. They spent months going through a series of hearings before the Ketchum Planning and Zoning Commission in 2016, until the commissioners voted to deny the project a conditional-use permit in December. The plan calls for redeveloping the Northtown Center commercial site, located at Main and 10th streets. Bracken, architect Steve Cook and attorney Ned Williamson revised the project plans and petitioned an appeal to the commission on June 8, allowing them to pursue a new conditional-use permit. Planning Director Micah Austin had rejected their request for a new permit this spring, based on his determination that the project was substantially similar to the version that was rejected in December. The team applied for a new permit, though that hasn’t been accepted by the city government yet. City spokeswoman Lisa Enourato said the city cannot accept a new application until the Planning and Zoning Commission has adopted findings of fact from the

June 8 hearing. The commission has its next regular meeting on July 10, but may schedule a special meeting sooner to consider the findings of fact, she said. In the meantime, on Monday, July 3, the City Council will debate an ordinance implementing a zoning amendment that would prohibit any gas station on Main Street. That would effectively bar the gas station project from advancing—if it takes effect prior to the application’s being certified as complete. The earliest date that such an ordinance could take effect appears to be July 12. Under Ketchum’s governing codes, any ordinance is required to be read on three days. That means the gas station ordinance would have to be read the first time on July 3, and then twice more at two future council meetings. The council can waive that requirement, if three-fourths of the council members vote to do that. The council has four members. To take effect, the ordinance has to be approved and published in the official newspaper in Ketchum, which is the Idaho Mountain Express, within three weeks of the date that it is signed. The paper’s deadline for submission of legal notices is normally the Friday before each Wednesday paper; due to the July 4 holiday, this week it’s Thursday. According to city code, the ordinance would take effect upon publication unless it contains a provision delaying that.

Planning Director Micah Austin had rejected their request for a new permit this spring.

A

GOP health care proposal is a gift to Democrats

health care bill written entirely by Republicans, without public hearings, much less Democratic amendments, may be the greatest gift to individual Democrats to come out of Washington in decades. How is that possible? Think about geography as well as demographics in considering who benefits and who pays. The demographics of the political parties have quietly flipped. Formerly Democratic union members, government employees, especially first responders and enlisted military, and those on the lower end of the income scale increasingly identify Republican. Wealthy and highly educated individuals and young people increasingly identify as Democrats. The latter demographic increasingly gravitates to urban centers, especially to blue California and New York. Creatives, tech and health care executives and millennials

Mountain Rides representatives say they are having trouble making the case to Ketchum and Sun Valley about the need for more money to retain bus drivers because “City Council funding partners want to see extra funding go to extra service.” Perhaps that’s why Mountain Rides is pushing a new airport shuttle service. The service looks like a solution in search of a problem and does nothing to solve Mountain Rides’ budget challenges. The public bus system serves Ketchum and Sun Valley with frequent service, commuter runs up and down the Wood River Valley and contract service outside the county. It has also tried new service for skiers to and from Galena Lodge. It started the airport service last winter, but it isn’t paying for itself. It is looking to hotels to come up with $35,000 to $45,000 to fill the gap. While airport shuttles from outlying cities to major airport hubs are common around the country, smaller community airports are generally served by taxi, ridehailing and hotel van services. Unless the cities’ mayors and council members are living in a sealed biosphere, they

the need for the airport shuttle fills more than a need to mollify some voodoo economic theory about bus service, Mountain Rides should drop it. As for the elected officials’ demanding more service, they need to step out of their biosphere and into reality.

ought to know that the resort area’s high cost of living and the 16-year low in the national unemployment rate argue against more service at the same price.

wealthy who will get the tax cuts live, adding to the economic bounty enjoyed by Democratic urban communities. Health care delivery in America accounts for as much as 20 percent of the economy. The Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act with its many faults at least opened room for a rational discussion about how the United States might join the rest of the developed world in providing health care as a right rather than a consumer choice. Encouragement of that debate is the real definition of bipartisanship. Prickly liberals that they are, Democrats aren’t thanking the Republicans. They have been pushing hard to stop a bill that is little more than a cynical attempt to create a campaign talking point. Meanwhile, the Republicans seem hellbent on transferring wealth from their supporters to the other side.

and their high-income jobs are expanding in increasingly blue cities in red states—such as Austin, Salt Lake City and Indianapolis. The Republican health care plan before Congress cuts an estimated $800 billion out of Medicaid. The largest insurer in the country, it covers 49 percent of all births, 30 percent of all disabilities, 60 percent of all children with disabilities, 79 percent of poor children and 39 percent of all children. It covers 64 percent of people in nursing homes. The Centers for Disease Control will lose $1.1 billion in public-health dollars. Cuts won’t happen immediately, but within five years, those dollars will migrate away from the areas where those most dependent on Medicaid live. Rural, less economically vibrant, more Republican areas will pay by losing services. Dollars from the Medicaid cuts will migrate into those urban centers where the

T

he U.S. air traffic control system has fallen woefully behind most of the rest of the world, but we may finally be on the cusp of a promising reform decades in the making. In testimony before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee last month, Reason Foundation Director of Transportation Policy Robert Poole identified three main problems with our existing system. First, the Federal Aviation Administration’s funding is volatile, subject to the caprices of Congress, and hasn’t kept up with technology and large-scale capital improvement needs. Second, the governance structure suffers from too many government agencies micromanaging the system and an FAA with an inherent conflict of interest, since it is responsible for both providing services and conducting investigations of those services. And third, progress and innovation have been stifled by a risk-averse culture

The Orange County Register published this editorial on June 21.

more interested in protecting the status quo. One solution, which has earned support from the White House and within Congress, is to replace the FAA’s taxpayer-funded Air Traffic Organization with a federally chartered nonprofit corporation sustained by user fees. This would provide more flexibility and funding stability, including the opportunity to issue revenue bonds to finance long-term capital investments. The structure would make it similar to organizations like the American Red Cross, U.S. Olympic Committee, federal credit unions or rural electricity and telecommunications cooperatives, Poole noted. Under the current system, “ATC is a high-tech service business that in the U.S. is trapped in a tax-funded regulatory bureaucracy,” Poole told us. “The natural incentive of a bureaucracy is to try to make sure that it looks good, and that’s not what you want.” The nonprofit corporation model would much better align incentives to serve customers, from airlines and private pilots to, ultimately, commercial airline passengers. Crucially, it would also depoliticize funding and operations decisions.

The idea is not so radical. In fact, more than 60 countries have adopted a form of “corporatization” over the past 30 years, leaving the U.S. as one of the relative few to do things the old way. And we do not have to look far for a positive example. Nav Canada, from our neighbor to the north, which operates the world’s second-largest air traffic system, adopted a similar format 20 years ago. In that time, its air traffic control fees have fallen 40 percent while its productivity has increased. The FAA’s unit cost of service, meanwhile, has increased by 66 percent during that time, even as flight operations have declined. Today, Nav Canada’s cost per flight hour is 26 percent lower than the FAA’s. It is clear that our air traffic control governance structure is as antiquated as much of the technology in use. Removing anti-competitive barriers and government interventions, from allowing for greater privatization of airports to adopting market-based pricing of gate slots and runway access, would improve the U.S. air transportation system even more, but the “corporatization” of air traffic control represents a positive, and probably necessary, first step.

Mike Wirth story was inappropriate On May 10, our community lost a good man. Mike Wirth was a joy to his family, a loyal and loving husband to Tami and a caring dad to Badger, Ping and Maggie Mae. We are fortunate to have had Mike and Tami as neighbors, as they exemplify what it is to be good neighbors, always considerate, always ready to help. Mike, with Tami at his side, worked hard to build The Wirth Co. They started alone and now many jobs have been created in our community. Mike always took the lead in working; he jumped in first and left last, never asking others to do more than he. He lost his life trying to help. His cry for help in that basement was answered too late. Who was served by publishing the salacious exposé of Mike’s private life? The Mountain Express news article only hurt family and friends and did no service to the community. We deplore this mean-spirited defamation. Mike Wirth contributed to making our community better. How many of us do that? His death was a tragic accident and we are poorer for his loss. JACKIE AND PETE ANDERSON Ketchum

Editor’s note: On the day Mike Wirth died while working in a flooded basement at a house north of Ketchum, the Idaho Mountain Express first heard about the incident on a police scanner. Communications between first responders indicated that there had possibly been an accidental, unattended death at the worksite on Eagle Creek Road. Because of the indicated nature of the incident—an accidental, unattended death—I sent a reporter to the scene and asked him to find out exactly what had happened. That same day, people in the community immediately started to contact the newsroom and other Express staff members seeking information about what had happened. Many people in the community had heard rumors about the incident and wanted the facts. Because the death was apparently accidental, was apparently unattended and questions were raised about the cause—and because it was garnering substantial interest in the community—the Express did what it is charged to do: It provided factual information about the incident in a short series of stories. Throughout this period of reporting, rumors were rampant and people regularly indicated that they were interested in knowing exactly what happened. In following this developing news story, we covered the initial reports—from official sources—of what happened in the basement, spoke to people close to Mike and followed what was happening with the investigation. We heard no objections to the original reporting. Eventually, the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office released an official autopsy report on the cause of death. In the story in question here, the Express reported the results of the autopsy report, without judgment and without embellishment. The report was part of the factual findings—by officials in charge of the matter—of what happened in the May 10 tragedy. The Express—in its mission as a news organization that provides vetted, factual information to the community it serves—was obligated to publish the contents of the report released by the Sheriff’s Office. The matter had developed as a legitimate news story, and the Express was duty-bound to finish its reporting on the story, no matter what the facts were. Had the Express not published the results of the report, certainly we would have been criticized for not doing our job, and those criticisms would have been justified. Rumors—which in some cases can be more damaging than the truth—would have carried on as the de facto truth of the story. One element of the work that news organizations do is to provide the facts that halt the rumor mill, to substitute speculation with truthful, sourced information. The reporting on the incident—including the story that stated the autopsy results—was not mean-spirited or defamatory. The information was published to serve the community, by providing an accurate record of an incident that wove its way into the minds of the public from the very beginning. We did not create the report—we simply followed our duty by reporting its contents. And, to suggest that the reporting was mean-spirited suggests that there was some subjectivity in the decisions made in covering the story. There was none. The Express does not report on unattended deaths that are deemed natural in nature. It does report on deaths that are accidental, are deemed by authorities to be questionable in nature or are public in nature. We are sorry for your loss, and we send our condolences to all of Mike’s family, friends and work colleagues.

We send our

condolences to all of Mike’s family, friends and work colleagues.

Attend meeting to oppose gas station Attention, Ketchum citizens. Mark your calendars and show up at any or all of the following meetings dealing with the Bracken gas station on Main Street across from the Knob Hill Inn. Bracken gas station, under the leadership of former P&Z Chairman Steve Cook, had been on the P&Z’s agenda for seven months, requiring two public hearings per month and hours of staff time, hardly covered by the $300 conditional-use permit fee and therefore paid for with your tax dollars. It was ultimately denied last December. On June 8, Bracken asked for permission to apply for a new conditionaluse permit, claiming that the design for the facility had drastically changed. Contrary to staff recommendation, P&Z again voted “yes” in favor of Bracken. Back up to March 2017: Having spent months in 2016 analyzing the traffic impacts of the Bracken gas station, Planning Director Micah Austin and Senior Planner Brittany Skelton initiated a zoning change to the location of gas stations in Ketchum. The City Council listened, and on March 20 asked the P&Z to come up with some wording for the proposed ordinance. It was, very simply, “No gas stations on Main Street.” The first P&Z public hearing was held April 10, and the second on Monday, June 12, when the P&Z voted in favor. The “text amendment” was forwarded to the City Council, and an essential public hearing was placed on its agenda for July 3 at 5:30 p.m. If the City Council votes to amend existing ordinances regarding “gas stations and electric vehicle charging stations,” it has two choices: (1) Waive the second and third public hearings and approve the ordinance on July 3, or (2) Schedule those two public hearings for July 17 and Aug. 7 before approving the ordinance. Time is of the essence because Bracken’s new conditional-use permit could be granted on July 8, hence grandfathering them in to previous gas station ordinances allowing Main Street location. Please show up on July 3 and support “no gas stations on Main Street!” If you can’t show up, please e-mail participate@ketchumidaho.org or write P&Z, Box 2315, Ketchum, ID 83340. RUTH LIEDER Ketchum

JUDY LEGG AND JOHN PRYOR Blaine County

Health care bill is a disaster I strongly oppose the Senate’s latest health care bill. My son is disabled and receives $800 per month on SSDI. Medicaid pays his Medicare Part B and Part D premiums. His medications are more than $1,000 per month. Could senators live on $800 per month? Of course not! So when Idaho runs out of Medicaid funds, who do they think will pay his Medicare premiums? Most people don’t realize that this bill gradually reduces federal Medicaid funding until Medicaid is eventually funded only by each state. Idaho can never make up the loss of federal funding, which means many thousands of Idahoans will be without any health care coverage, leaving the elderly, poor and disabled in dire straits. This bill is nothing more than a huge tax break for the rich. Some of the richest will get over $200,000 in tax benefits. How can the Senate justify giving the already wealthy a huge tax break by taking away benefits for the elderly, poor and disabled? KATHRYN L. OLSON Hailey

Come to the meeting at Ketchum City Hall on Monday. All it takes is for you to attend and make your voice heard. Making a difference for our beloved community, no matter where you live, matters. Take a walk along Main Street and as you head north, linger at 10th Street and Main. What’s in front of you? What’s to your right and left? Ask yourself what would you want for this special entrance gateway to Ketchum. Why not imagine into our future a multi-use structure where small businesses, exquisite condominiums and affordable housing could coexist? Traffic safety, pedestrian safety and biking safety should matter to you—it certainly does to me. We need you to come forward to let your voice be heard. Please write a note to the Ketchum City Council; participate@ketchumidaho.org and come to the meeting on Monday, July 3, at 5:30 p.m. (The gas station issue is first on the agenda.) JANE BEATTIE Ketchum

Gas station doesn’t fit location The idea of a gas station, proposed to be on Highway 75 at 10th Street, is an unfortunate idea when considering our scenic corridor and the hope that Ketchum will be able to join so many other “green” cities in conserving its beauty and environmental health. However, a major aspect of any future decisions regarding this site is that the traffic along that stretch of highway, already crowded and noisy, will be even more dangerous with the space needed for access to the station and with the increase of vehicles delivering and purchasing fuel there. I have been watching the traffic from my condo for several years and have noted many more backup jams and even more speed-limit abuses in the 25 mph zone. Today, I noted southbound traffic stopped up to 10th Street, crawling toward the center of town, and one of the vehicles had to be at least 40 feet long. Dangerous and unnecessary are the two most apt words for this project. JOELLEN COLLINS Ketchum

Sun Valley mulls options for planning By PETER JENSEN Express Staff Writer

The Sun Valley City Council will hold a special meeting Thursday to consider hiring the former community development director as an interim contractor. Jae Hill resigned from the job in June, and moved to take a new one in King County, Wash. While the city finds his replacement, Hill’s services could be retained on an interim contract. The council will discuss and vote on approving the agreement with Hill on Thursday afternoon. The meeting begins at 2 p.m. at Sun Valley City Hall, 81 Elkhorn Road. Hill’s contract would set his pay at $60 an hour, with a not-to-exceed amount set at $8,000 through Nov. 30. Mayor Peter Hendricks said Tuesday that the idea for retaining Hill is to consult him on an asneeded basis, if a major project or planning issue arises. The proposed contract includes tasks such as on-call support for two to four hours a week, as well as longrange planning, permitting review and public engagement, among other tasks. “I don’t expect it will be a very

A major hotel project in downtown Ketchum met a deadline with the city government last week to avoid expiration of its building permit. The Auberge Resort Sun Valley hotel will be located indirectly across the street from the Limelight Hotel on Main Street in downtown. The project was expected to break ground this spring, according to a timeline submitted to the city by developer Jack Bariteau in 2016. That didn’t happen, and Bariteau hasn’t said publicly what has caused the delay, or when his team will start construction. Bariteau was unable to be reached for comment because he was traveling Tuesday. The project did comply with the city of Ketchum’s deadline set by the hotel’s building permit, which was June 18 to show new work has been completed at the site. Crews poured concrete for a foundation control point at the southwest corner of the site, city spokeswoman Lisa Enourato wrote in an email. “The foundation control point is the beginning point from which other foundation sections are poured,” Enourato stated. A city building official inspected the control point June 16, and did a subsequent inspection on June 19, Enourato wrote. The project has another deadline for an inspection at the site on Dec. 16. Bariteau has until the end of 2018 to complete the hotel or his building permit lapses, according to a 30-month timeline that commenced when the city issued the building permit last summer. The Auberge Resorts Collection, which will operate the hotel after it’s built, states on its

website that the hotel will open in 2019. Once completed, the hotel will feature 62 hotel rooms as well as 12 luxury residences, a restaurant, bar, spa and meeting facilities, according to the Auberge website. The 12 residences include two-, three- and four-bedroom units and are listed for sale at prices ranging between $2.4 million and $4.2 million. The residences will be on the top floors of the building. During a Ketchum City Council meeting last fall, Bariteau and members of his team offered insight into the financing of the project, which they said was unusual for major hotel projects. Bariteau told the council it wasn’t possible for him to obtain loans from larger commercial banks such as Wells Fargo or Bank of America. Rather, he had to rely on private equity and debt, which carries higher interest rates. One loan would have to be repaid at 9 percent annual interest. In January, Bariteau and the Ketchum Urban Renewal Agency agreed on a reimbursement for $2 million in infrastructure costs. Bariteau’s company, Trail Creek Fund LLC, will spend that amount on undergrounding power lines, building sidewalks and installing sewer lines, water lines and drainages, as well as doing site prep. To help reimburse the company for those costs, the KURA will use taxincrement financing, which is derived from the increased property tax revenues that result from the development. Bariteau also has to build employee housing on a property at First Avenue and Sixth Street, across from the Idaho Mountain Express building.

big deal,” Hendricks said. “I wanted the availability to call him up.” The city is in the process of hiring a new permanent director, and is reviewing résumés. “We’ve gotten some résumés and we’re evaluating them now,” Hendricks said. “These things always take longer than you anticipate.” In the meantime, the city has a planning intern working in the Community Development Department and Associate Planner Abby Rivin is handling other planning and land-use duties. The special meeting Thursday will also include adopting the canvassed election results from May, when voters approved renewing Sun Valley’s “1 Percent for Air” local-option tax. But the bulk of the meeting will be devoted to reviewing the budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which starts in October. The council started reviewing the budget earlier this month, but Hendricks said he wanted to continue the work prior to the next regularly scheduled council meeting on July 6. He said his goal is to complete review of all revenue and operating expenses Thursday, so the regular meeting on July 6 can be devoted to other topics.

A Celebration of Wine. A Benefit for Arts Education

Please Join Us At

The group building the Argyros Performing Arts Center is preparing to break ground along Main Street in downtown Ketchum, and the public is invited to a ceremony Friday, July 7. The theater will replace the nexStage Theatre at the corner of Main and First streets. The Argyros will be 25,000 square feet, with space for a main theater of up to 450 seats, a 2,000-square-foot café, a 2,000-square-foot plaza and a studio theater that will contain up to 49 seats. The nonprofit Sun Valley Performing Arts Center is developing the project, which will cost $12 million. The group has raised a little more than $8 million, and is still raising money. However, it’s starting construction this summer. The theater is being named for two major benefactors to the project, George and Julia Argyros. The nonprofit group wants to open the theater with a gala celebration in fall 2018. The group has determined that the building and fees owed to the city of Ketchum will cost $8.75 million, equipment will cost $2.5 mil-

lion and an endowment will cost $750,000. The nonprofit already owns the land, which is worth $2.5 million. It received a benefit from the Ketchum City Council, which agreed to waive $3 million in parkingrelated fees for the project. The theater would have had its parking requirement waived if a revision to the city’s parking ordinance had passed earlier this year. However, the ordinance revision was held up, and the theater’s backers proposed culling out a small section devoted to waiving parking requirements for theaters and submitted it to the council. The council passed that revision. The Mott and Marks families have donated $2 million as seed money. George and Julia Argyros contributed $2.5 million to secure naming rights to the building. The nonprofit’s annual operating budget will be $1.3 million, once the theater opens and its operations become stable. It expects $700,000 to be earned, and $600,000 to be contributed. Until then, it expects to use the $750,000 endowment to help operations, according to a presentation by the nonprofit group.

The Idaho State Championship Criterium will close roads in downtown Ketchum on Saturday, as more than 70 cyclists are expected to race through town. The race’s start and finish line is on East Avenue at Fourth Street, next to Giacobbi Square. It’s partnering with the Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival, which runs from Thursday until Sunday. Riders from Utah, Idaho and possibly as far away as Mexico will participate, organizer Mark Lovlien said. The event is split into six races, including events for women and men. The races will typically last 40 to 45 minutes, though one will be 35 minutes and another will take 65 minutes. It costs $30 to register in advance of the event, and $35 to register on Saturday. Registration closes 30 minutes prior to the race. The event will have $1,000 in cash prizes, $500 in gift certificates and gear, as well as food, beer and music in Town Square. Sturtevants, the Limelight Hotel, the Ride Sun Valley Festival, Warfield Distillery and Smith Optics are sponsoring the event. The criterium race course starts at Fourth Street and East

Avenue and continues up to Walnut Avenue, where riders turn south until they get to Sun Valley Road. At that point, they turn and head west until they get to East Avenue, when the course shifts south to First Street.

LETTERS Continued from Page 9 serve the people of this state. Right now, the Republican agenda calls for replacing the Affordable Care Act with legislation that every responsible medical and senior-citizen organization has condemned and which if enacted would greatly harm a majority of the citizens of this state. Health care is a deadly serious issue that calls for more than a partisan response. Yet our representatives blindly sign on to the Republican Party legislation without assessing the harm it would do to a majority of the people of Idaho or proposing any modification. As always, it is politics as usual for our representatives. The majority of the state’s citizens simply do not have a voice. PAUL FIRSTENBERG Hailey

Thank you to bookstores I’d like to express my gratitude to Iconoclast Books in Hailey and Chapter One Bookstore in Ketchum for their willingness to either carry or special-order a book by a fellow Idahoan. In a day and age in which few question the status quo, the opportunity to share my months and years of work regarding LGBT issues means a lot to me—especially in an area where I’ve spent a considerable amount of time. I hope that people will be supportive of stores that give “locals” a chance. LANCE WELLS

Thank you, Blaine County Dispatch Center Thank you, Blaine County dispatchers who serve and protect our valley 24-7/365 days. With more than 450,000 annual visitors, the dispatchers provide coverage and communication to our first responders with professional and trained protocols. I had the opportunity to experience communications with the Blaine County dispatchers during numerous emergency search and rescues for residents and annual visitors. Last summer, two young teenage girls of a parent attending the Writers Conference became lost while hiking in our mountains. The dispatcher who received the 911 call from these lost and dehydrated girls stayed in communication with them via their cell phone to calm and guide them. The dispatcher, knowing the girls’ cell phone was low on battery, communicated to them to turn off their cell phone and call back every 20 minutes. Blaine County Search & Rescue executed the search with the help of the dispatcher providing vital location feedback from the lost girls and we located them just before dark. A successful and timely rescue. This is only one example to share on the life-saving impact that our trained and professional Blaine County dispatchers provide to our community. Thank you!

BRIEFS Blackman steps away from new job Former Blaine County School District Assistant Superintendent John Blackman has rescinded his acceptance of a new job as the principal of Flathead High School in Kalispell, Mont., after it was discovered that he had plagiarized the majority of an email introducing himself to school staff, the Flathead Beacon newspaper reported this week. Blackman was scheduled to leave his position in the Blaine County School District on June 30. “It was decided that it would be best if John rescinded his acceptance of the offer and not take the position as principal for Flathead,” Kalispell Public Schools Superintendent Mark Flatau wrote to school staff in a June 23 email, the Beacon reported.

The Barbres decided to stay at home without power for nearly two months, operating gas-powered pumps to keep water out of their home. Ben Barbre said he was concerned that if he did not make a concerted effort to save his home, the maximum $250,000 FEMA payout for damages would not be forthcoming. He has his own ideas as to why the river has continued to flood his home. “Heagle Park has stopped the water and pushed it back into our neighborhood,” he said. As of Monday, five more homes had electricity back on, but at least five others remained under mandatory evacuation orders. Triumph Drive resident Micah Austin said the city has done a “good job” in responding to the flooding, but he wonders if there is a plan moving forward. Austin, who works as planning director for the city of Ketchum, said 22 emergency streamalteration permits have been issued in that city to protect private property. “And that’s for far fewer homes than are affected along our stretch of the river,” he said. Austin said his home is likely to have damage from mold and his landscaping is a total loss. He said Hailey taxpayers will have paid an inordinate amount of money for emergency services in response to the flooding in his neighborhood. “That’s not fair to them,” he said. “The city has a responsibility to the rest of its citizens to make sure this doesn’t happen again next year.”

A home in the Della View subdivision of Hailey remains threatened by water from the Big Wood River.

OBITUARIES Richard Westbrook Emery Devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, friend and aviation pioneer, Richard Westbrook Emery passed away of complications from Alzheimer’s on his birthday, Saturday, March 4, at the age of 79. Born in Dallas, Texas, he lived his entire life in Dallas while also maintaining a residence in Sun Valley, Idaho. Richard’s aviation career was an early passion and his lifelong career. He served as president of the family business, Executive Aviation Services, president of Southwest Airmotive and KC Aviation. His leadership and innovative spirit led to the design and installation of the finest interiors and avionics in the business jet market and incomparable service for his customers. He served on the boards of the National Business Aviation Association, Frontiers of Flight Museum and the Nordam Group. He proudly served on the board of the Conquistadors, an organization of aviation industry leaders from around the world. His passion for the Conquistadors will always live on. Viva! Richard loved to spend time with his friends and family playing golf, hunting and fishing. He was honored to serve in Dallas as the president of Royal Oaks Country Club and proud to be a member of the Valley Club in Sun Valley. Family was the most important part of Richard’s life. He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Gay; son Richard and wife Maura; daughter Courtney Loving and husband Ward; son Marshall Stanford and wife Kenia; and his four grandchildren, Jack and Sam Emery and Warren and Lizzie Loving. Richard will always be remembered by his big, engaging smile and his gentle, loving manner. Alzheimers took Richard’s life but not his smile. It will live in our hearts. For those desiring to do so, contributions to his memory may be made to Hospice Care of the Wood River Valley, Box 4320, Ketchum, ID 83340 or Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood, Box 660, Ketchum, ID 83340.

Born in Wausau, Wis., on June 11, 1922, Phil Puchner attended Dartmouth College, where he competed in four ski disciplines and was captain of the Dartmouth Ski Team during his senior year. His studies were interrupted by World War II, when he enlisted in the 10th Mountain Division, serving in the Aleutian Islands and in Italy. After graduation from Dartmouth, Phil went to Sun Valley, Idaho, to work on the ski patrol and for the Sun Valley Ski School. Continuing to compete in skiing, he also received a degree in civil engineering from the University of Colorado. In 1959, Phil was hired to build an aerial tramway similar to a ski lift in Nepal, to be used for hauling freight over the mountains from India to Katmandu. This was followed by engineering work in Thailand and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). In 1968, Phil returned to Sun Valley to open an engineering and surveying office, while continuing to teach skiing. He served on the board of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation from 1974-1984. Phil also served one term on the Ketchum City Council. He returned to cross-country ski racing, competing regularly in the American Birkebeiner, an annual 50-kilometer race in Hayward, Wis., part of the FIS Worldloppet Marathon Series. In 1977, he made the 25% Club with a favorable race time, competing later in 16 or 17 Birkies, placing third in his class in his last race in 1998. Phil continued competing in crosscountry masters ski racing events until 2008, winning two silver medals in Masters World Cup competition. Locally, Phil skied in the annual winter cross-country event, the Boulder Mountain Tour, from its earliest days in the mid-1970s until the mid-2000s. He would help pack the trail the night before, in the days when there was no grooming equipment, and he then skied it with classic skis, generally finishing first in his age class. On Bald Mountain, Phil went from running the Harriman Downhill in the late 1940s and early ’50s to racing in local masters events well into the 1970s. Phil died peacefully June 21, 2017, at St. Luke’s Medical Center, Meridian, Idaho. He leaves his wife, Ann, his son, Christopher (Molly McGrath) of Fairbanks, Alaska, and Triumph (Hailey), Idaho, in addition to his daughter, Farleigh Byers, grandchildren, Joshua J. Byers (Ashley) and Bradford P. Byers, and three greatgrandchildren, twins Jarrit and Karder and Paisleigh Byers. For those wishing to make a memorial contribution, the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation would be most appropriate. A celebration of his life will be held in the Wood River Valley at a later date.

Trudi Bennett McGonigal Trudi Bennett McGonigal left this world she loved behind on June 13, 2017. She arrived in the Wood River Valley with her parents and sister 62 years ago with the intent of spending a winter skiing in Sun Valley. Instead, the family stayed on to become some of the original locals from that era and Trudi lived most of her life in her beloved Bellevue, where she felt truly at home. A recent claim to fame was her renowned You Be the Judge booth at the annual Bellevue Labor Day Celebration. Trudi was an installation in the Bellevue post office, Norm’s Steak and Seafood Restaurant and Webb Nursery. Eventually she found her true calling in her creative artistry, hand-crafting jewelry for the Papoose Christmas Bazaar and various vendors and art fairs. She found a special kinship in the valley’s Idaho Master Gardeners Program, she displayed her love for both flora and fauna in the Bellevue Gardens Tour (and any passersby who accidentally happened up on her amazing perennial beds) and volunteered her time and expertise at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. Trudi added beauty to the world in everything her graceful, nurturing hands See OBITUARIES, next page

touched: the agates and gemstones, the amazing flower gardens gracing her yard and the people she welcomed into her life whom she loved and cared for. There are countless young adults both in the valley and those continuing their lives elsewhere who still affectionately refer to her as their “other mom.” Every event, hobby and human being she encountered she approached with an abundance of enthusiasm and zest. Trudi touched the hearts of so many people from all walks of life, but above and beyond all of her passions, interests and friendships, she loved and lived for her family, Josie, Ashley and Quinton. Trudi was preceded in death by her loving parents, Doris (D.O.) and Don (Bemco) Bennett of Ketchum and she is survived by daughters Josie Pusl of Boise, Ashley (Alex) Dyer, grandson extraordinaire Quinton and sister Kristy Bennett Turco, all of Hailey. A celebration of Trudi’s life is being planned for Sept. 2, at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden.

BRIEFS County to replace Adams Gulch bridge Blaine County will begin replacing the Adams Gulch Road bridge crossing the Big Wood River on Monday, July 10. According to a news release from the county Road and Bridge Department, the bridge will be upgraded to meet current standards and the road will be improved for about 200 feet on both sides of the bridge. The project will be completed in two distinct stages spanning 2017 and 2018. The north half of the bridge and road will be constructed this year and the south side during 2018. Traffic will be reduced to one gravel lane during construction of both stages and will be controlled by a temporary traffic signal. During the winter months, the county will provide two paved lanes through the project area. Construction hours will be 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays. Work will occasionally occur on Fridays and weekends. Residents in the area might experience high levels of noise during pile driving and due to large construction equipment. The contractor for this $1.7 million project is Wadsworth Brothers Construction from Draper, Utah.

Pop-Up coming in July. Would love to see you!

Advisory issued for Mormon Reservoir A health advisory has been issued for Mormon Reservoir in Camas County by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and the South Central Public Health District. The DEQ responded to a report of a cyanobacteria bloom on June 14, and reported that subsequent analysis has confirmed the presence of a species known to produce toxins. An additional visual inspection on June 21 confirmed that the algae are continuing to proliferate. Toxicology results are expected soon. According to a news release from the Health District, cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are ubiquitous in the environment but a few species are known to produce toxins that pose a threat to humans and other animals, particularly canines. The public is advised to take the following precautions: l Avoid exposure to water experiencing a harmful algal bloom. Take extra precautions to ensure children, pets, and livestock are not exposed to the water. l Pets that are inadvertently exposed should be washed immediately and thoroughly. l Do not consume water with a blue-green algae bloom. Neither boiling nor disinfecting removes the toxins. l If fish are known to have been exposed to a blue-green algae bloom, only consume the fillet portion (remove the fat, organs and skin). Wash hands after handling. According to Josh Jensen, public health program manager with South Central Public Health District, exposure to the toxins can cause liver damage, neurological problems such as muscle spasms, decreased movement, labored breathing, convulsions and possibly death.

Kids to make art in the garden Registration is now open for Daisy Doodles, a two-day exploration of book making, journaling and art under the mentorship a local artist at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden.

ULTIMATE CAGE FIGHTING ARRIVES FRIDAY AT CAMPION RINK—It’s “Friday Night Fights” on Friday, June 30 when Ultimate Cage Fighting arrives at Hailey’s Campion Ice House for a full night of fighting action. The doors open at 6 p.m. and fighting starts at 7 p.m., next door to the rodeo arena.

Cyclists pedal into holiday with Ride Sun Valley Festival is celebration of life on two wheels If Hailey’s Days of the Old West celebration showcases fourlegged life in the saddle, the Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival shines the Independence Day light on cyclists in the saddle atop twowheeled rigs. The seventh annual Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival will offer four days of bike-oriented events Thursday through Sunday, June 29-July 2 in the Sun Valley and Ketchum area. As Ride Sun Valley has said in its press releases, it’s designed as “a homegrown celebration of life on two wheels.” The Idaho State Championship Criterium on Saturday, July 1 has partnered with Ride Sun Valley to provide what should be one of the festival’s most entertaining spectator events in downtown Ketchum. Bike Festival highlights include the third stop of the 2017 SCOTT Enduro Cup presented by Vittoria on Saturday and Sunday, July 1-2. The Enduro Cup offers one day of backcountry racing, and one day of vertical on Baldy trails. SCOTT Enduro Cup has already visited Moab, Utah May 6 and Angel Fire, N.M. June 10-11. After its Sun Valley stop, the fourrace 2017 series winds up Aug. 26-27 at Park City, Utah. Male and female Pro Class Enduro winners ride away with a new Dr. Tray bike rack from Yakima. There will be a Yakima roof rack raffled off each day of the festival, too. Very popular as well is the Expo set up in Ketchum Town Square over three days, where bike manufacturers show off their new products. The festival includes guided “Local Stoker” tours June 30-July 2 that will introduce mountain bikers to some of the best singletrack in the area. “Easier” and “Longer” rides are offered, based out of the Ride Sun Valley Expo Area near Ketchum Town Square. Raffle proceeds will benefit the Wood River Bicycle Coalition. So be sure to grab a couple of tickets along the way. Visit ridesunvalley.com for the latest details and updates. Here are events by day:

Thursday, June 29 The city of Hailey unofficially kicks off the Ride Sun Valley Festival with SheepTown Drag Races Thursday, June 29, headquartered at Powerhouse. Preliminary drag races are from 7:30-10 p.m. on Main Street, followed by drag race finals from 10-10:30 p.m. on Main St. Race registration and Happy Hour is from 5-7:30 p.m. at Powerhouse Pub.

Friday, June 30 The SCOTT Enduro Cup presented by Vittoria offers free rider clinics from 2-5 p.m. at Ketchum Town Square. Separated by men/juniors and women, the clinics will include topics like positioning and technique, and will be followed by a group ride featuring skills demonstrations.

Saturday, July 1 Saturday is the first day of the summer season for lift-served biking on Baldy. The Sun Valley SCOTT Enduro Cup’s No. 1 stage will be conducted Saturday on Baldy, and the resort is accommodating the event by temporarily closing some trails Saturday.

Final event, about 8 p.m., is the elite Men’s Category 1/2 criterium for 65 minutes. Plans call for more than $1,000 in cash prizes as well as prizes from local sponsors. State championship medals will be given to the top three Idaho racers in each event. Over 70 riders may compete. The USA Cycling-sanctioned contest begins at 4 p.m. Saturday with the 40-minute Men’s Masters Cat. 4/5 race and 40-plus and 50-plus classes.

Exciting finish for Member-Member tourney

he weather couldn’t have been more perfect last Friday and Saturday for The Valley Club’s Member-Member golf tournament. A total 41 twosomes and 82 players took part in the two-day meet. Chris Stephens and Richard Davis survived a close call and a blind chip-off on the very first hole of Saturday’s “horse race” and used the momentum to capture their first-ever MemberMember title. In second place were Tift Mann and Richard “Rico” Albright. The third-place “show” team consisted of Suzanne Williams and Britt Palmedo. Stephens and Davis faced elimination in the three-team blind chipoff, using a chip of 4 feet, 8 inches to edge out Baird Gourlay and Mats Wilander by just three inches and advance to the next horse race hole. In the final match, Stephens and Davis delivered four wellplaced shots to nip Mann and Albright by a single shot. The tournament field, divided into six flights and comprised of two-person teams, played four different nine-hole formats Friday and Saturday. Friday’s rounds were a ninehole scramble followed by a ninehole best-ball format. On Saturday the nine-hole formats were a modified alternate shot followed by an aggregate (both balls counting). Valley Club Director of Golf Jaime Sharp said, “Anything can happen in the stroke play aggregate. “Both players play their own ball until the ball is holed. A player can take a 12 on a hole and knock their team from first to last place in a matter of minutes. It is a true test of nerves.” Those results determined first- and second-place teams in

All-event skier, engineer Phil Puchner passes away at 95 Wisconsin native first visited Sun Valley in 1941 By JEFF CORDES Express Staff Writer

Wisconsin native Phil Puchner, a Dartmouth College ski captain and original Sun Valley Ski Hall of Fame inductee in 2011, died peacefully Wednesday, June 21 at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Meridian. He was 95. Puchner, born June 11, 1922 at Wausau, Wisc., first visited Sun Valley as an 18-yearold Dartmouth College skier in 1941. He moved to Sun Valley in 1947 to work on Bald Mountain’s ski patrol and ski school with fellow 10th Mountain Division U.S. Army veterans Nelson and Eddie Bennett. He lived here for the 70 years since, defined by his love of skiing in the Idaho hills. For the first 40 years of his long and productive life, Puchner was a highly accomplished alpine ski racer. For his final 40-plus years, he was one of the top cross-country skiers in the country and in the world for his age class. An engineer by trade, Puchner was a strong competitor who once finished third in the famous Harriman Cup alpine downhill on Baldy. Puchner turned his focus to Nordic skiing in the mid-1970s and never looked back. “I keep

meaning to get up there (Baldy) and make a few runs, but I never get around to it,” he once said about his switch from alpine to cross-country. Instead, Puchner competed for 18 consecutive years in the American Birkebeiner 50-kilometer cross-country ski race in his native Wisconsin, earning a podium age class finish in his final Birkie at age 70, in 1992. He consistently finished the Boulder Mountain Ski Tour north of Ketchum. In 2004, Puchner, 81, competed in the Masters World Cup at Lillehammer, Norway and finished the 20-kilometer classic race in 2.31:12. Four years later when the Masters World Cup visited McCall, Puchner, 85, was fourth in the 85-plus class for 15k at 2.24:51. Not bad for one of the original American four-event ski competitors who insisted with self-deprecating wit that crosscountry was his worst event. Former Mountain Express columnist Dick Dorworth, writing about then 75-year-old Puchner prior to the 1998 Boulder Mountain Ski Tour, said, “Puchner was one of the first Americans who lived and organized his life to be able to ski. He is one of the few of his generation who is still at it.” Late in his life, the soft-spoken Puchner who was also well known for his chuckling laugh said that he couldn’t think of anywhere else in the world that he’d like to live than the Wood River Valley. As a youngster reared in ski jumping country, Puchner learned to ski jump on the local wooden lift. When someone built a T-bar on Wausau’s Rib Mountain and provided access to 400 vertical feet, “we all learned to downhill ski,” Puchner said. Puchner, then a high school sophomore, said a couple of “old Norwegians” taught he and his schoolmates the basics of the four main disciplines of skiing—downhill, slalom, crosscountry and ski jumping.

Phil Puchner, pictured at the time of his Sun Valley Ski Hall of Fame induction in 2011. He competed in all four events at Dartmouth, but World War II interrupted his studies in 1942, and Puchner served with the mountain-savvy 10th Mountain Division troops in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska and also during the intensive Italian campaign. After graduating from Dartmouth, he moved to Sun Valley and worked in various jobs on Baldy—helping to build the current ski patrol shack atop the mountain. He raced the first of his five Harriman Cup downhills ending with a 1952 podium result. Using the GI Bill, Puchner attended University of Colorado in 1949 and gained a degree in

civil engineering. At Colorado, he met Northwestern University graduate Roberta Muriel Corby, who became better known locally as Corby Dibble in later life. They married in 1951 and son Chris was born in 1953. Puchner’s engineering projects included Galena Road and Jackson Lake Lodge. He spent two years in Nepal helping to build an aerial freight tram in Katmandu. He did engineering work in Thailand and Bangladesh in 1963. In 1968, Puchner opened an engineering and surveying office in Ketchum and became involved in civic life. He served one term on the

Ketchum City Council. He also served on the board of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation in the non-profit’s formative years, from 1974-84. Many of the final years of Puchner’s life were spent happily with his second wife, Ann Puchner, and of course with his new love of Nordic skiing. He contributed to the Boulder Mountain Ski Tour as both a competitor and a volunteer, and enjoyed being around the younger, avid Nordic skiers. A celebration of Puchner’s life will be held later in the Wood River Valley. His family suggests memorial contributions be made to Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation.

Legion stays hot with unbeaten homestand Wood River (15-3) enters holiday break on a roll The weather has been scorching hot. So has the Wood River American Legion Wranglers baseball team. Wood River (15-3) completed an unbeaten eight-game homestand Monday evening with an 11-2 and 10-2 sweep over the Kimberly Astros at Hailey’s Founders Field. Coach Lars Hovey’s Wranglers, reigning State “A” American Legion tournament champions, improved their Area C “A” West Division record to 10-0 with twinbill sweeps over the Buhl Tribe, Burley Green Sox and the Astros in a five-day span. The Wranglers, winners of 13 consecutive games, are averaging 9.7 runs per game this summer, and yielding only 4.3 runs each game. In the 13-game win streak, their average is 11.8 offense and 3.9 defense. Providing solid pitching have been Hailey righthanders Kyle Nelson (3-1) and Jett Erickson (4-0), and lefthander Christian Hovey (4-0).

Kyle Nelson had his best outing Saturday—scattering six hits and allowing no earned runs in a 5-2 complete-game win over Burley’s Green Sox. Nelson (76 pitches, 4 K, 1 BB) had 12 ground ball outs and three double plays. Nelson prevailed in a quickly-played pitcher’s duel with Burley lefty Trevyn Wells (105 pitches, 6 hits, 3 earned runs). Christian Hovey’s opposite-field two-run triple cracked open a tight 2-2 contest in the home fifth, and Hailey batted around for another score. First baseman Andy Ruiz (2 runs) and catcher Ike Buxton added two hits apiece. Erickson (4 hits, 3 BB, 10K) earned the win in Saturday’s 6-2 nightcap victory over Burley. Ruiz tripled, Buxton (2 hits) added a double, Nic Tidwell (2 hits) walked twice and Erickson added a double. Monday, hard-throwing righty Buxton (5 IP, 87 pitches, 2 hits) whiffed 11 Astros and earned his first win behind a 13-hit Wranglers offense in the 11-2 opening-

game victory over Kimberly. Wood River scored runs in five of the six innings. Clean-up hitter Buxton (2 runs, 2 RBI) and Ruiz (3 runs, 2 RBI) each belted a triple, double and single, and Hovey (2 hits) drove home four runs. Tiernan Naghsh (2 hits, triple) reached base four times. Tidwell was the winning pitcher in Monday’s 10-2 Wranglers nightcap victory.

Last week’s Legion wins In last Tuesday’s Founders Field debut, Wood River trounced Jerome’s AA Cyclones 21-13 and 11-5. The 29-hit opening game represented the most runs Wood River has scored, 21, and the most runs Hailey has yielded, 13. Wood River (19 hits, 9 walks) started fast with a nine-run first and eight-run third for a 17-3 lead in the opener. Top hitters were Buxton (triple, 3 runs, 3 RBI), Blake Nelson (3 runs, 2 RBI), Kyle Nelson (3 runs, 2 RBI) and Ruiz (3-run triple).

Adding two hits each were Huck Sprong, Naghsh (2 runs, 2 BB, 2 stolen bases) and Erickson (2 runs, 2 RBI). Tidwell (2-2), a righthander, picked up his first win of the summer Thursday in the 11-3 opening-game home victory over Buhl. He allowed four hits in five innings and whiffed eight batters. Kyle Nelson (4-for-5, double, 2 RBI) and Erickson (3-for-5, 2 RBI) were productive. So were Hovey (triple, 3 runs, 3 BB), Ruiz (2-run double) and Naghsh (2 hits, 2 runs). In the Buhl nightcap, Wood River led only 5-3 but put away its 8-3 triumph with a three-run sixth. Hovey pitched into the fifth inning for the win, striking out nine and walking none. Ruiz earned the save with two-plus innings of no-hit work, in the process whiffing three. Erickson tripled and doubled, Buxton drove home two and Hovey was hot (2-for-2, double, 3 RBI). For the two Founders Field games, Wood River out-hit Buhl 20-13.

Baldy Buddy Hike sends 90 up River Run Morning hike for charity and exercise Ninety participants featuring 66 hikers and 24 team racers joined Saturday’s fourth annual Baldy Buddy Hike to raise money and awareness for Camp Rainbow Gold. The community event took place on the service road from the bottom of River Run to Roundhouse—a distance of 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) over 2,000 vertical feet. Co-organizer Bill Nurge of Ketchum’s HardCore Training Center said, “Lots of families, friends and married couples hiked up River Run to the Roundhouse where they were met with cheers, refreshments and lots of raffle prizes donated by local merchants.” Anna Droege, 78, was the senior hiker, and the youngest were a pair of six-year-old girls who did the entire course without any assistance. Clocking the fastest times were 55-year-old Bill Nurge (29:30) and his 44-year-old coed teammate Brooke Hovey (31:32). Their combined 1.01:02 for first among Coed Teams was less than a minute behind last year’s course record. Not far back and competing in their first Buddy Hike as a coed team, were elite mountain runners Kevin Tuck, 61, from Phoenix—an eight-time

XTERRA Trail Run national champion—and his teammate Kelli Lusk, 47 (1.06:35 team). Michael Lynch and Jeannie Lynch won Married Team (1.29:03). Colter Brehmer and Shelly Brehmer (1.35:11) took Family Team honors. Special hand-painted mugs (donated by Local Color) were awarded to the top married, family, and coed teams. Here are Saturday’s top team results, with individual times in parentheses: Married Teams: 1—Michael Lynch (42:55) and Jeannie Lynch (46:11) for 1.29:03. 2—Grady Burnett (44:23) and Heather Burnett (53:32) for 1.37:55. 3—Mike Feltman (1.07:58) and Leslie Feltman (56:42) for 2.04:40. Family Teams: 1—Colter Brehmer (38:01) and Shelly Brehmer (57:10) for 1.35:11. 2—Dave and Gemma Tedesco (1.15:27) and Tedesco sisters Darian and Dylan (1.15:27) for 2.30:54. Coed Teams: 1—Bill Nurge (29:30) and Brooke Hovey (31:32) for 1.01:02. 2— Kevin Tuck (30:24) and Kelli Lusk (36:11) for 1.06:35. 3—David Gilbert (39:42) and Carmen Finegan (42:49) for 1.22:31. 4— Jeff Camps (46:11) and Tatyana Gray (50:08) for 1.36:16.

89 anglers cast their lines at McClatchy fish derby Camp Rainbow Gold benefit Magic Reservoir south of Bellevue was the site of the seventh annual John McClatchy Memorial “Big Fish” fishing derby Saturday. There were 89 anglers, and the fishing was a challenge. But the spirits were high and the cause was a good one. Donations of $7,500 were raised for Camp Rainbow Gold, bringing the derby’s sevenyear fundraising total for CRG to over $30,000. Winning the $1,000 first-place “heaviest fish” prize was Karel Kaiser, at 3 pounds and 2.8 ounces. Cash prizes were paid to seven anglers in the Adult Division, and five young fishermen in the Junior class. This year, $2,165 was paid out in cash prizes to the top fishermen, meaning over $8,000 has gone to cash prizes in the derby’s seven years. John McClatchy, a native of Philadelphia who came to Sun Valley in 1978, was a skier, carpenter, fishing and hunting guide and heavy equipment operator. He died of cancer July 22, 2010 at the age of 55. Results follow. All fish taken were rainbow trout: Adults: 1—Karel Kaiser 3 pounds, 2.8 ounces ($1,000). 2—Craig Werley 3 lbs. ($500). 3—Ben Parker 2 lbs., 14.4 oz. ($250). 4—Michael Smith 2 lbs., 13.6 oz. ($125). 5—Margaret Kacalek 2 lbs., 12.2 oz. ($50). 6—Marlys Ivie 2 lbs., 10.4 oz. ($50). 7—Doug Beall 2 lbs., 9.8 oz. ($50). Kids/Juniors: 1—Parker Bridge 2 pounds, 10.6 ounces ($50). 2—Trenton Shappee 2 lbs., 5.6 oz. ($30). 3—Emma Harrelson 1 lb., 14.6 oz. ($20). 4—Tyler Gratteau 1 lb., 13.2 oz. ($20). 5—Lakai Paiga 1 lb., 11.2 oz. ($20). Sun Valley golf pass raffle winner: Jamie Bridge of Bellevue.

Tennessee’s roads were the challenge for Ketchum cyclist Sara Youmans Saturday—and she responded with a bronze medal in a national individual time trial near Knoxville. Youmans, 21, finished third among the U-23 women during the USA Cycling Pro Road and Time Trial National Championships that visited the Knoxville area for the first time. Racing for Therapeutic Associates of Portland, Ore., Youmans lined up in the first wave of racers on a twisty and technical three-lap 23-kilometer (14.3 mile) course that was slick and treacherous from the morning rain. In the humidity Youmans (34:54.19) finished behind U-23 winner Emma White, 19, of Delanson, N.Y. (33:02) and secondplace Margot Clyne of Boulder, Co. (33:32). Women’s Pro 1/2 winner after three laps of the 4.8-mile ITT circuit was reigning Union Cycliste I nter n ation a le (UCI) time trial champ Amber SARA YOUMANS Neben of Lake Forest, Ca. (30:27).

FISHING REPORT B

Y

BILL MASON

Sorry for my delinquency on reporting but as my mother used to say, if you have little or nothing good to say about something, say nothing at all. That has been the situation of our fishing for the last few weeks. Based upon a rather stunning, almost unbelievable report of our percentage of snow water equivalent still remaining (USGS), we have a long way to go before things clear up. And when all waters finally become fishable, the high water velocity will limit what and where we can fish. We’ll find entirely new rivers and streams from what we’ve come to expect when things do subside. So, with 4th of July weekend here, we will have fishing. But it will be limited. Let’s have a look see: SILVER CREEK—Typical for this time year (I never did back-flips about late June), success is being found but for the most part, the fishing has been tough. That’s because hatches have been sparse and a bit inconsistent. Until our good hatches begin appearing in July, this is what you will find. PMDs, Beatis and some Callibeatis are present but not timely nor in great quantity. PMD Parachutes #16-18, Crippled PMDs #16-18, Beatis Spinners #20-22, Lt. Olive Parachutes, Beatis Sparkle Duns #2022 and Partridge Spinners #16 need to be carried depending on what is seen on the water. Many fish are being found by nymphing. Pheasant Tail Nymph, Flashback Pheasant Tail Nymph and Poxyback PMD Nymphs #14-18 will do the job. In addition, Foam Rubber-Legg Ant and Beatle imitations #12-14 and maybe some Blue Damselfly patterns will find some fish as well. Good luck. BIG WOOD RIVER, BIG LOST RIVER DRAINAGE, WARM SPRINGS AND TRAIL CREEK—All are high off-color and ragging thus making them unfishable and dangerous to wade. Even the Upper Salmon is no picnic. PENNY LAKE/LAKE CREEK/GAVER’S LAGOON (HAYSPUR)—All will be heavily planted for the 4th of July thus making the fishing exceptional. Various baits and small dry Flies and Nymphs fished with a stripping action, should do the trick.

Jim McClatchy (left), co-organizer with Willy Cook of Saturday’s John McClatchy Memorial fishing derby, congratulates first-prize winner Karel Kaiser. He landed a 3 pound, 2.8-ounce rainbow trout for the grand $1,000 prize at Magic Reservoir.

SOUTH FORK OF THE BOISE—Because the river has been so high below Anderson Ranch Dam, not many reports have come out of the area. Even the boat put-ins and take-outs have been in question. It is still high in volume (3500 cfs), so floating the river will be your best option. But a word of caution is needed. Because of the extremely high flows, much of the stream bottom and log jams have shifted and moved around (to the good), many of which are unseen. Scouting the river may be wise. Salmon Flys may start to be active and Dark Rubber-Legged Nymphs #8 will find fish. It might be early but be on the lookout for the adults as well. Various Streamer patterns will find fish.

Condominium complexes sitting empty waiting on AirBnB suckers. Businesses underpaying. The valley is seeing the effects. Unaffordable housing, not having employees because of the greedy, rich taking advantage of the non rich. Do something about it! Don’t complain, get involved! YOU can make a huge impact on Ketchum’s future by making your voice hard at Ketchum’s City Council Meeting – July 3 at 5:30 pm – to decide if gas stations will be banned from Main Street. If you speak out, our elected leaders will listen! H & S’s: Guess those twenty somethings aren’t as reliable as you had hoped. Maturity comes with age. If the sound of a blaring horn upsets you so, then maybe you should pay attention, slow down, learn how to drive, or perhaps, all 3. If you continue to run red lights, expect to hear more blaring horns directed your way. Listen here all you passive aggressive parents, does it really matter if your kid is a skateboard or a scooter rider? Aren’t you just happy they are out of the house doing something? Also, FYI make them ALL wear helmets, just saying! Neighbors please do not throw your trash, empty soda cans, and beer cans over your neighbors fence and into their yard. It’s rude and disrespectful. People commute because they can’t afford to live here. The people who work in this valley should be able to afford to live here. Otherwise, where is the community?

AROUND TOWN

Idaho architect to discuss his connection to Frank Lloyd Wright Landscape architect Henry Whiting will give a talk titled “Landscape Into Architecture: Living With Frank Lloyd Wright in Idaho” tonight, June 28, at The Community Library in Ketchum from 6-7 p.m. As a young man, Whiting moved to Idaho to help with the design and drawings for his parents’ new house in Sun Valley, built by architect Neil Morrison Wright. After immersing himself in Frank Lloyd’s Wright’s aesthetic and philosophy, Whiting commissioned a contemporary protégé of Wright’s, architect Bart Prince, to design a house at the mouth of Greenhorn Gulch. Today Whiting lives in Frank Lloyd Wright’s only Idaho building, the Archie Teater studio in Bliss, which he has comprehensively restored over the past 35 years. An expert in Wright’s vision of the harmonious relation of architecture to landscape, Whiting’s lecture will focus on his history with these three buildings.

Company of Fools will open its 2017-18 season with Aaron Posner’s “Life Sucks,” a comedic yet heartfelt reworking of Anton Chekhov’s classic “Uncle Vanya.” By ANDY KERSTETTER

A

Express Staff Writer

nyone who has spent much time on earth can probably agree on one truism: Life sucks, sometimes. But other times, it doesn’t. That simple statement could describe one of the messages of “Life Sucks,” an adrenaline-fueled, modern rendition of Anton Chekhov’s classic “Uncle Vanya” by American playwright Aaron Posner (“The Chosen,” “My Name Is Asher Lev”). The fast-talking comedy is a playful reworking of Chekhov’s famously reserved play, following a group of old friends, exlovers and estranged family as they gather over a weekend to grapple with life’s questions, each other and even the audience. Company of Fools is bringing Posner’s play to the Liberty Theatre stage in Hailey starting Thursday, July 6, and running through Wednesday, July 19. Tickets are $35 for members of The Sun Valley Center for the Arts, $40 for nonmembers, $35 for seniors 62 and older and $15 for students.

Grappling with life’s questions ‘Life Sucks’ to open Company of Fools’ 2017-18 season Tickets can be bought online at www.sunvalleycenter.org or by calling 578-9122. Directed by Company of Fools Associate Director Ilana Becker, the cast consists of Andrew Alburger, Jana Arnold, Chris Carwithen, Cleo Gray, Neysa Lozano, Joel Vilinsky and company founding member Denise Simone.

Joe Levine designed the set, for which he went back to the play’s roots for inspiration. “In the script, Sonia makes mention to the audience that this is an odd, impressionistic, deconstructed home, and so we took that as the template of how the whole design would go,” Levine said. “So I went and looked at the original production of Chekhov and took that as an inspiration visually.” While the plot and character dynamics closely resemble those of “Uncle Vanya,” Simone said “Life Sucks” is very relatable to modern audiences. “With Chekhov, we tend to watch a little more passively,” she said. “It’s hip and it’s got a musicality about it that moves the story forward. But it’s also brilliantly sort of adapted from Chekhov.” The cast and crew would say it’s a misnomer to call “Life Sucks” a caricature of “Uncle Vanya”—Posner’s respect and admiration for the source material shines through. “I think the characters are really spoton to Chekhov, but through Aaron Posner’s See ‘LIFE SUCKS’, Page 3

Sun Valley Forum returns July 5-8 Global experts to discuss issues of energy, resilience By ANDY KERSTETTER Express Staff Writer

When Aimee Christensen moved to Sun Valley seven years ago, she brought a wealth of knowledge about sustainability and resilience issues with her from 20 years of experience in policy, law, investment and philanthropy—and she brought that experience to bear on Sun Valley. “I realized we had a lot of risks facing us, from the climate changes we’ve been seeing to local energy issues and the economic downturn,” Christensen said. “I came to the realization that we had an opportunity to take those risks and turn them into opportunities.” Thus, she began the annual Sun Valley Forum, via the Sun Valley Institute,

which she founded. Her goals for the forum have been twofold: Bring tech and business leaders to the valley to discuss new innovations and also to get such innovators interested in doing their work in the valley. “I realized that putting together the right people in a room can spark all sorts of new ideas and collaborations,” Christensen said. See FORUM, Page 5

With the 2017 total solar eclipse coming up in August as well as discussions by local municipalities to establish a Dark Sky Reserve in the Wood River Valley and Stanley Basin, many people’s thoughts are turning toward the night sky and the celestial objects it contains. Policymakers, recreationists and astronomers aren’t the only ones with the night sky on their minds—artists of all stripes have focused on the dark expanse for years, and in recognition of the night sky’s prominence in art, the Sun Valley Center for the Arts will present a special art exhibition titled “Night Watch.” The exhibition will open Friday, June 30, and last through Aug. 26, at The Center at 191 Fifth St. E. in Ketchum. There will be an opening celebration on Friday, June 30, from 5:30-7 p.m., at The Center, which will include complimentary refreshments and is free to the community. “The night has long been a subject for painters, poets and photographers,” The Center stated in a release. “Evoking danger and excitement as well as mystery and awe, night is a time of renewal and change, altering form from sharp clarity to elusive shadows. Night is also a time of secrets, when prayers are whispered and rituals offer the promise of transformation.” The exhibit will present the work of contemporary artists who expose the many ways that people’s lives and dreams are framed by night. Contemporary artists whose work is in the exhibition are: Peter Alexander, a celebrated sculptor and pioneer of the Light and Space movement in mid-20th-century New York City. His works in this exhibition are gouaches of stars and desert landscapes. Vija Celmins, who is internationally recognized for her

‘LIFE SUCKS’ Modern rendition of ‘Uncle Vanya’ has less subtle characters

Continued from Page 1 filter and what he wants to explore about the many ways life can—and cannot—suck,” Simone said. Arnold said the characters are less subtle than in “Uncle Vanya,” and that they present themselves as they are. “There’s not a lot of subtext the audience won’t hear,” she said. Becker said the plot carries some strong parallels with “Uncle Vanya,” with some fun surprises sprinkled throughout. “It’s almost like you’re watching the original and yet they’ve taken each page and they’ve split it open and you’re able to see inside,” Carwithen said. “It’s almost like we help make it that much more relatable.” While those familiar with Chekhov’s play will find the parallels and “Easter eggs” enjoyable, the cast agrees that prior knowledge of “Uncle Vanya” is not necessary. “I hadn’t seen or read Uncle Vanya, so I went into this fresh,” Arnold said. “This story definitely tells itself, and it tells it in a real, raw, honest, lifelike way. This is a play every audience will relate to, because it gives them permission to be human.” And although then Artistic Director John Denise Simone Glenn had been slated to direct “Life Sucks”— Cast member of which he chose—before his tragic passing earlier “Life Sucks” this month, the cast and crew are striving to carry on Glenn’s vision for the play. “I’m directing with John’s vision, and we’re calling it co-directing because he is very present as we work on this piece together,” Becker said. “He’s very much present throughout this entire process and what you’ll see on stage.” The cast and crew prefer to think of the production as a celebration with, and not a tribute to, Glenn. “It feels like he’s right here telling the story with us,” Simone said. Arnold said the play resonates deeply with all the cast members as it did with Glenn. “Our job is to keep this from being a tragedy but a celebration, because that’s what the play is meant to be and that’s what I feel John would want,” Arnold said.

What do you do when you’re a singer-songwriter on the go without a band, and with no prospects of finding one soon? You find one anyway, even if the other members are thousands of miles apart. That was Hailey rocker Kelly Martin’s idea back in 2008 after he left the Boise acoustic rock band CrashFour, which disbanded in 2008 after 10 years together, having performed more than 400 shows and produced four albums. When the band dispersed, Martin married fellow band member and violinist Rebecca Gourley, and set off with her on a cross-country adventure, moving from Boise to North Carolina, Texas and eventually Hailey. The singer-songwriter was still writing music, but because he and Rebecca moved around so much, it was difficult to form a band. “I always tell people that finding the right band members is like trying to find the right husband or wife. There is a musical connection that few understand,” Martin said. “Sometimes it takes a while to find the right fit.” He began to explore other options, eventually finding an online community called GrooveZoo that allowed him to collaborate with musicians all around the world. GrooveZoo is a free collaboration site specifically designed for musicians and songwriters. It allows people to collaborate with or hire musicians, mixing engineers and mastering engineers to produce music that is ready for sale or licensing. It also allows people to easily find or match with other members, transfer recording files, post session discussions and manage contracts. Martin uploaded his song “Stop and Drop It” to the site, and Leandro Chernicharo, a guitarist from Rio de Janeiro, contacted him to say he liked the song and wanted to add to it. “I really liked his material and wanted to be a part of it,” Chernicharo said. “Creating songs over the internet is a great way to work with people you may never have had the chance of working with before.” Chernicharo enhanced Martin’s song by adding a guitar hook, leads and rhythm. “From that point, I realized that I could still record full band songs even if I didn’t have a live band to work with,” Martin said. Martin’s musical sojourns in cyberspace eventually gave birth to The Haywire Hopeful recording project, which comprised Martin on vocals and Chernicharo on guitar, as well as Smokey Fennell, a steel guitar player from Edmonton, Alberta, and Jay Carros, a drummer from New York City. Martin also used Facebook to contact musicians he knew who also added to the recordings, including Rob Hill, a bassist from Boise; Harley Wright, a drummer from Boise and one of CrashFour’s original drummers; John D. Stefan, a drummer, guitarist,

The Haywire Hopefuls, an acoustic rock band based in Hailey, recently released its debut album, “About That Time,” which coalesced out of lead singer Kelly Martin’s collaboration with musicians on the internet.

“Finding the right band members is like trying to find the right husband or wife. There is a musical connection that few understand.” Kelly Martin

Singer-songwriter for The Haywire Hopefuls keyboardist and bassist from Boise; and Rebecca Martin, his wife, a violinist from Twin Falls and original CrashFour member. The 10 songs, all of which Martin wrote, recorded by the group online make up the bulk of the new album “About That Time,” the debut album of Martin’s band that grew out of the recording project.

From cyberspace to face to face Martin and his wife moved to Hailey in 2010, while he was still recording with people online. Martin made one music video per month for 10 months of the songs he’d written, and posted them on his website. Soon, The Haywire Hopefuls band would begin coalescing in person. Martin met Haywire Hopefuls lead guitarist Harry Schultz in 2015 at open mic night at the Silver Dollar Saloon in Bellevue. “[Schultz] was a great guitarist, and I kept a mental note that if I ever started a live band, he would be at the top of my list,” Martin said. A few weeks later, he and Rebecca met Haywire Hopefuls drummer John Thomas while playing an acoustic set at diVine Wine Bar in Hailey. Thomas had just moved to the area from Maine. “My usual line when I meet new people is, ‘Do you play bass or drums?’ To my surprise, he was the first person to ever say yes,” Martin said. “I finally felt that I met the right people to start a band.” The quartet began practicing the songs that Martin had recorded online with Chernicharo, Fennell and Carros. Since meeting Thomas and Schultz, the four-person live Haywire Hopefuls have penned four more songs together, which are on the album as well.

“Being in a band is very timeconsuming, so we never know who will be available to play the live shows or who will be on the recordings,” Martin said. “That’s where the name comes from. Trying to make it all happen can go very haywire and we are hopeful that it will come together in one form or another.” Martin said the band’s sound has been compared to that of Live and the Dave Matthews Band, though Martin said the sound will probably be transformed the more they write and play together, especially considering the eclectic musical backgrounds that the others bring to the table—Schultz and Thomas bring elements of funk and blues and even math rock to the table. “The more we write together as a band, the more I believe our sound will evolve,” Martin said. Martin also said the group has begun playing with Ellen Sanders from Oakland, Calif., a cellist with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, whose cello music meshes well with Rebecca’s violin. And while The Haywire Hopefuls’ live concerts will be performed by the quartet who met in the valley, the songs they play—and “About That Time” itself—will carry the contributions from Chernicharo and the others who jammed with Martin on GrooveZoo. “We plan to write and record the next album this winter and release it next summer,” Martin said. “About That Time” is available on most online music stores such as iTunes and at the band’s live shows. The band performed at the Boise Music Festival on June 24, and will play at the Wicked Spud in Hailey on Wednesday, July 19, at 6:30 p.m. For more info, visit its website at www.haywirehopefuls. com.

FORUM Sun Valley Forum to feature new breakout work sessions Continued from Page 1 The forum features dozens of speakers from a wide range of backgrounds and expertise, including environmentalism, technology, agriculture and investment. It will be held this year at The Limelight Hotel in Ketchum from July 5-8. In the past, the forum focused mostly on presentations by the various speakers, but this year, Christensen has added special breakout work sessions. “That allows for a lot more interaction and work together,� she said.

“I realized that putting together the right people in a room can spark all sorts of new ideas and collaborations.� Aimee Christensen

Founder of the Sun Valley One session will carry a strong focus on energy issues, including renewable energy, energy storage and micro grids. One speaker whom Christensen is excited to host is David Freeman, who will speak about renewable energy. Freeman was the first public energy official appointed in the country, appointed

by President Lyndon Johnson in 1967. Later, President Jimmy Carter appointed him chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1977, where he cut sulfur dioxide emissions in half. He led the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the New York Power Authority and other municipal power agencies in the country. “He has a long history of running major power systems in the U.S.,� Christensen said. Freeman will offer a look back at how energy systems have changed and discuss the need for faster transformation to new power systems, such as micro grids. In addition to presentations by policy and technology experts, a number of storytellers will speak at the forum, including Robert Swan, the first person to walk to both the North and South poles. “He has great stories,� Christensen said. “Also, he will take a trip to the South Pole with his son Barney to raise awareness about the risk facing this beautiful place, using only renewable energy on the expedition so they don’t become part of the problem.� For more information about the forum and to register for events, visit www.sunvalleyforum.com. VIP passes are $750, while regular forum passes are $475 and local business, local nonprofits and local students can attend for $150.

Classic rock to invade Sun Valley Pavilion Sun Valley Opera festival kicks off with British Rock Royalty By ANDY KERSTETTER Express Staff Writer

S

un Valley Opera will kick off its 2017 Opera Festival in style with a trip back in time to 1960s and 1970s Britain with a special tribute concert to classic rock icons. On Thursday, July 6, British Rock Royalty, a cover band specializing in emulating The Who, Queen, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, will perform at the Sun Valley Pavilion starting at 8 p.m. for Sun Valley Opera’s annual fundraising concert. Tickets range from $150 for the concert alone and upward for more premium seating and to donate to the nonprofit music organization. British Rock Royalty is fronted by lead singer Brody

Dolyniuk, a self-taught musician who got his start in music by playing in piano bars in the 1990s before his love of classic rock took over. As an only child who often moved, Dolyniuk spent a lot of time listening to an eclectic record collection that included Elvis, Motown, country, movie soundtracks like Smokey and the Bandit and Ronco compilation records. “I guess you could say I’ve been a fan of music and comedy as long as I can remember,” Dolyniuk said. He’s been performing classic rock music since 1997, when he formed the Las Vegas group Yellow Brick Road, which originally was an Elton John tribute that morphed into a classic rock cover band. “So British Rock Royalty is really just me homing in on four of the big British rock greats,” Dolyniuk said. “I feel it makes an interesting format—it’s sort of four trib-

ute shows in one.” The two-hour show also will include a dazzling light and laser show and video. “I’ve also developed my technical expertise in sound, lighting and video, and this show serves as a great platform to show off those skills as well,” Dolyniuk said. From “Comfortably Numb” to “Kashmir,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” to “Pinball Wizard,” Dolyniuk will play the biggest anthems and a few surprises. The concert is cosponsored by Sun Valley Resort. A Diva party will take place the evening before. Diva tickets include a cocktail party July 5 in a private home with entertainment by Dolyniuk and premier seating at the July 6 concert in the Sun Valley Pavilion. For more information and to order tickets, go to www. sunvalleyopera.com or call 726-0991.

“It’s sort of four tribute shows in one.”

Opera fundraiser concert with British Rock Royalty. When: Thursday, July 6, starting at 8 p.m. Where: Sun Valley Pavilion, 1 Sun Valley Rd., Sun Valley. Cost: $150 minimum. Tickets available online at www.sunvalleyopera.com.

Express photo by Roland Lane Below: At the end of school for the 2016-17 year, the outgoing fifth-grade class at Ketchum’s Hemingway Elementary School gave a special present to retiring principal Don Haisley. Tracey Thomas presented a custom-made eight-foot bench to the grade school. The bench was designed and built by Larry Gardner in Hailey. A.C.

More sure signs of summer are the Ketchum Farmers Markets held Tuesdays from 2-6 p.m. and the Hailey Farmers Markets on Thursdays, also from 2-6 p.m. each week. One of the most popular booths is run by the so-called “Pie Lady,” Connie Fawcett, who doles out a tasty pie to a customer here. And there are many others waiting in her line for cherry, marionberry, raspberry, apple, rhubarb, peach, huckleberry and other dessert delights. Express photo by Willy Cook

Yummy picnic foods By TRESA ERICKSON You’ve enjoyed going on picnics since you were a kid. Oh, how you loved the foods your mom tucked into the tattered wooden picnic basket. The salads were so crisp, the sandwiches scrumptious and the homemade cookies to die for. Times have certainly changed since then, but the fun of picnics has not. This summer, you’re going to take your own kids for a picnic in the park. Here are some quick recipes to ensure you serve them a great lunch.

Cheese and Fruit Kabobs

Get ready for a hot time By RONDA ADDY Summer is just around the corner. While winter is hard on vehicles, summer can be equally as hard. Engines overheat, batteries get weakened and tires have to deal with hotter conditions, all of which could lead to a breakdown and being stranded on the highway waiting for help. Let’s get your vehicle ready for summer, shall we? Take off the snow tires. They’re not real useful when there’s no snow on the ground, plus using them on dry pavement will wear them out faster. If you don’t use snow tires, check all the tires, even the spare, to see that they are properly inflated. Check your owner’s manual for the proper tire pressure and to find out if you need to adjust the pressure to compensate for the hot temperatures. Properly inflated tires can improve gas mileage and they will last longer. Checking and changing your engine oil will also help prepare your vehicle for the coming summer months. Motor oil is available in different levels of viscosity; this refers to the thickness of the oil. Many of the motor oils available on the market today are multi-viscous, meaning the thickness of the oil can change depending on its temperature. The warmer the oil, the thinner it is; the thinner it is, the less lubrication that will

get to the engine. In the summer, you should change the viscosity of your oil to compensate for this problem. Check your owner’s manual for their recommendations regarding what oil works best for what climate. Before the hot summer months arrive, be sure to check the various fluids in your vehicle. Make sure the transmission fluid is at the right level and doesn’t look dirty or smell hot since heat can affect how effective the fluid is. Check the owner’s manual for the right type of transmission fluid to use and how often it should be replaced. Check the power steering fluid to make sure it’s at the right level and condition. A low power steering fluid level can result in damage to the power steering system and burnt or dirty power steering fluid can cause power steering failure. Check the brake fluid to make sure it’s at the right level and condition. If the brake fluid is low, it could be an indication of excessive brake wear or a fluid leak. If the brake fluid looks like coffee, it may be contaminated or full of moisture. To remedy the problem, it is a good idea to flush the brake fluid and check the brakes. The belts and hoses in today’s vehicles are designed to last a long time, but that isn’t to say, they won’t fail. Have them inspected, and if it’s been some time since they have been replaced, consider doing so again.

Hot weather puts a strain on your battery. Consider having your battery tested if it is more than three years old. Also check the posts and connections for signs of corrosion. If your battery has removable cell caps, check the water level. If you don’t know how old your battery is, consider replacing it, especially if you are planning a trip. And always carry jumper cables with you. The ideal mixture of coolant and water for a vehicle’s radiator is 50/50. Deviation from this could cause performance problems in the summer as well as in the winter. Water only in a vehicle’s radiator boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas an equal amount of water and antifreeze will boil at a higher temperature. To check your antifreeze mixture, you can get an antifreeze tester at any auto parts store. The average windshield wiper lasts about a year. If your wipers look dried out or they aren’t making contact with the window, it’s time to replace them. Also check your wiper fluid reservoir to make sure it has plenty of windshield wiper fluid. Preparing your vehicle for summer may sound time consuming and complicated, but just think about what could happen if you don’t. You don’t want to be stranded, especially in the seering heat.

1 8-oz. pkg. cheese, cubed 16 seedless red grapes 16 strawberries 4 kiwi, peeled and quartered 1 4-oz. vanilla pudding cup 1 6-oz. strawberry yogurt cup Alternate cheese cubes, grapes, strawberries and kiwi chunks on wooden skewers. Serve as dippers with pudding and yogurt.

Ham Pineapple Sandwiches 1 15-oz. can crushed pineapple, drained 1 c. sugar 1 c. walnuts, chopped 1 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened 2 T. milk 24 slices whole-grain bread 60 thin slices deli ham Combine pineapple and sugar, bring to a boil and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Add walnuts. In another bowl, stir cream cheese to soften, adding just enough milk to make mixture spreadable. Blend in pineapple mixture. Spread onto 12 slices of bread. Top with 5 thin slices of ham and remaining bread slices.

Peanut Butter-Banana S’mores Peanut butter Marshmallow creme 1 banana, sliced Chocolate syrup Graham crackers Spread some peanut butter and marshmallow creme onto a graham cracker. Add a couple slices of bananas and a squirt of chocolate syrup. Top with another graham cracker and squeeze together.

The wet and wild vacation By CRAIG W. ARMSTRONG Some people like a nice relaxing vacation. A vacation filled with sun, sand and drinks that contain little umbrellas. But there are some people who prefer their vacations to be full of adventure. If you prefer adventure and don’t mind getting wet (and I mean soaked), how about the exciting experience of whitewater rafting? No matter what part of the country you call home, there is probably a whitewater experience near you. But before you start paddling, there are a few things to consider. First you need to know that there is an international scale that ranks rapids based on their level of difficulty. They range from Class I to Class VI. This is important when deciding on your destination. You will need to choose the water that best suits your skill level. Class I is referred to as “flat water.” It’s for beginners and has small waves and limited obstacles.

Class II is the next step and requires some experience in maneuvering. This class still contains relatively mild waters. Class III is for the beginner through the intermediate paddler. This class usually has age and weight requirements. The rapids on these waters are considered moderate, with waves that require some skill in maneuvering. Class IV is where things start getting serious. These waters are for the advanced. While these waters are somewhat predictable, they are fast and turbulent. This class requires boating skills and being in good physical shape is important. Class V is for the advanced and experience whitewater rafter. These waters are often so difficult to maneuver that rescue can be difficult should something go wrong. Class VI, yeah, you don’t want any part of this. Trips down these waters are not offered commercially. Let’s focus on the first few classes. With each trip you should be offered plenty of instruction, both classroom and practi-

cal. Make sure when booking a trip that the company operating the trip has a solid safety rating and good reputation. So what can you expect when whitewater rafting? Obviously you’re going to get wet, actually, soaked is a better way to put it. You may be spending hours on the water, so expect to get some sun. Be sure to wear plenty of sunscreen and make sure it is waterproof. Remember to protect your noggin. Any reputable rafting trip companies with require and supply helmets. You may think that being able to swim is a requirement. While it does help to be able to swim, it may not be necessary, depending on the trip. Always wear a life jacket, whether you can swim or not. Depending on the trip you choose, you may enjoy a lazy float down a beautiful river or an exciting thrill ride on water. Different trips include different amenities. Do your homework and choose the trip which is best for you and your family. While others get their tans by lying on the beach, you can say you earned yours fighting Mother Nature and having a blast doing it.

1 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened 1/4 c. mayonnaise 1/2 c. pecans, chopped 10 slices raisin bread Beat cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in pecans. Spread onto five slices of bread and top with remaining bread slices. Cut each sandwich into three strips, pack and serve.

Rocky Road Bars 1/3 c. honey 2 T. butter 4 c. miniature marshmallows 6 c. honey oat cereal 1 c. peanuts, chopped 4 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate, chopped Microwave honey and butter on high for 1 minute and stir until well blended. Add marshmallows and toss to coat. Microwave 1-1/2 minutes, or until marshmallows are puffed, and stir until well blended. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Press into greased foil-lined 13x9-inch pan. Cool and cut into bars. These are just some of the many picnic food recipes your kids are sure to enjoy. You will find hundreds more in cookbooks and online, many of which you can get the kids to help you make.

Individuals and organizations can register to participate in the parade, Bacon said, and registration is open through July 3, though he strongly encouraged people to register earlier. Overall, Bacon said, The Chamber will “pretty much break even” on costs for the day’s events—primarily the parade, RiverFest and fireworks—and is looking for donations to the fireworks fund.

July Fourth will be filled with expressions of patriotism and community events, including antique fairs, parties, beer gardens, physical activities, a drink mixing competition and a pancake breakfast. And, of course, the iconic Fourth of July Parade down Main Street.

Also scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon will be a Bloody Mary drink-mixing competition featuring the Hailey Hotel, The Red Shoe, Restaurant 103, Sun Valley Brewery and Zou 75. “Bars and restaurants in Hailey are competing and you win—who’s serving the best Bloody Mary?” states a schedule of events. “Bragging rights are on the line!” Bacon said that pitting local restaurants and bars head-to-head to see who mixes the best Bloody Mary is part of The Chamber’s effort to bring a variety of new events to Hailey’s Fourth of July festivities. Following the parade, at least two afterparties will kick off in Hailey. Jersey Girl restaurant will hold an after-party beginning at 1:30 p.m., and the third annual Draper Preserve RiverFest, featuring a kids carnival, will take place at Lion’s

Park and the Draper Preserve beginning at 1 p.m. This year’s RiverFest features concerts by Up a Creek and singer Rebecca Scott, as well as a beer garden, food and craft vendors and free ice cream. The kids carnival, presented by Spirit n’ Motion Athletic School, is new for 2017. RiverFest is hosted by The Chamber and the Wood River Land Trust. Beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Hailey Rodeo Grounds, the Sawtooth Rangers’ Days of the Old West Rodeo will hold its final night of competition, including professional bull riding. And to finish a day of celebrating our nation, at dusk Hailey will continue an Independence Day tradition enshrined in American lore since the Virginia Gazette reported it occurring on the nation’s first Independence Day celebration, held in 1777—fireworks.

Fireworks safety Igniting fireworks is illegal in unincorporated parts of Blaine County, but residents can shoot off certain kinds of fireworks within city limits. In Hailey, the fireworks cannot move beyond a 10-foot radius or explode. That prohibition includes rockets and firecrackers. Additionally, fireworks are not allowed in public parks or other public areas. Hailey has fireworks stands that sell “safe and sane” fireworks that residents can ignite legally within city limits. Residents should also avoid placing still-hot fireworks in garbage cans or waste receptacles, because that can start fires. They can be left alone to cool off prior to disposal, or residents can soak them in water first.

River Valley. Many years ago, Independence Day celebrations in the valley ended in the afternoon and dusk was followed by darkness. “The generosity of donors, willing to step up and help this community, created the fireworks we still enjoy today, but we’re in danger of going back to a Fourth of July without fireworks.”

It’s hard to imagine Hailey without fireworks on the Fourth of July. This year, as in years past, revelers will be able to cap off their celebrations of Independence Day with the annual fireworks show. The show commences after dusk—typically a short while after 10 p.m. The fireworks will be ignited from a spot near Wood River High School, so be sure to stake out a good vantage point to witness the splendor. Sun Valley will also have a fireworks show on the Fourth of July. In Sun Valley, the first Sun Valley on Ice show of the summer will be offered, featuring 2017 U.S. gold medalist and bronze medalist Karen Chen and 2017 U.S. silver medalists Madison Chock and Evan Bates. After the ice show is finished, Sun Valley Resort will set off its fireworks display above Dollar Mountain. The resort will also offer a free clinic teaching residents and visitors how to cast with fly rods, along with Yoga on the Mountain and a performance by pianist Joe Fos at the Duchin Lounge. The Hailey Chamber of Commerce set up a campaign on the website gofundme on June 14, with the aim of raising $20,000 to support the fireworks show there. The show has relied on private donors in the past, including some donations from actor Bruce Willis, but the chamber wrote on its campaign page that the private donations it once relied on have dropped off in recent years. While the chamber has contributed money to ensure that the show goes on, it’s seeking help

Classic valley antique shows return for Fourth of July holiday By ANDY KERSTETTER Express Staff Writer

From cowboy boots and guns to mid-20th-century Americana and antique wood furniture, there will be something for everyone at this year’s Fourth of July antique markets in Hailey and Ketchum. All three antique markets will run Saturday through Monday, though not everything at them may be antique—shoppers might find repurposed or unique modern items in the mix as well.

Hailey’s Main Street Antique Art and Crafts Market Coordinator and promoter Dana Jo Cameron of Blue Cow Antiques is organizing the market for the 17th year in a row and is bringing in vendors from across the country. The market this year

More than 30 vendors will display their wares this year. Cameron said antiques from the Industrial Revolution are still hot with collectors of all ages, while collectors in their 30s and 40s are currently most interested in mid-20th-century extralong sofas in floral, orange and avocado green colors,

“the more outlandish the better.” She also said that antiques magazines are showing more vintage yard items this season.

Fourth of July Antique Market Alee Marsters will organize the market at Roberta McKercher Park for the 25th year in a row this year and is bringing in dozens of vendors as well as ice cream and lemonade stands. There will be a large variety of items at this year’s market: vintage linens, fine

The World Famous Bucking Car has had different looks over the years, including this iteration from 2009.

One last run for the World Famous Bucking Car The mysteries of its inner workings are finally explained By TONY TEKARONIAKE EVANS Express Staff Writer

Elbie’s World Famous Bucking Car of Hailey will buck and shimmy down Main Street one last time during this year’s Fourth of July parade. Impossible to miss, the red, white and blue ’72 Thunderbird has bounced and wobbled down like a drunken sailor on Independence Day since the 1980s. “I have to be honest with you,” said Tracey Thomas, the wife of the Bucking Car’s current owner and technician. “We have kids in college and so this is going to be the last year.” The idea for the car was brought to the valley when Jack Basolo and mechanic Elbie Bellon came to the valley from Montana to sell cars at the Ford Dealership in Hailey. They brought the idea for the Bucking Car with them. The Bucking Car was created under a veil of secrecy at Elbie’s Automotive on Main Street in Hailey, which Bellon operated for 18 years until its closing in 2009. After retiring, Elbie passed the legacy of the Bucking Car to his protégé and lube job specialist Richard Cabitto, the husband of Tracey Thomas. “We’re going to miss Elbie,” Cabitto said at a retirement party for Elbie. “As far as bosses go, he wasn’t half bad.” Cabitto, 48, confessed in a rare interview that there have actually been a number of Bucking Cars over the years. He said they take a beating and don’t last long, sometimes sending sparks out from under the bumpers. Cabitto has dutifully maintained the latest version of the Bucking Car for 10 years. It defies

Craig Aberbach has braved several cold Western winters since moving to the Wood River Valley in 2013.

Craig Aberbach to serve as grand marshal

FOR MORE INFORMATION 208.622.2135 / SUNVALLEY.COM

Fire chief has been a ‘force of nature’ for city of Hailey By TONY TEKARONIAKE EVANS Express Staff Writer

The Hailey Chamber of Commerce has named Hailey Fire Chief Craig Aberbach as the grand marshal for the Hailey Fourth of July Parade. Aberbach and his wife, Vicki, will ride in an honored position during the parade. “Being chosen for grand marshal is an incredible honor,” Aberbach said. “I feel this recognition should be equally represented with all the great people in the community, especially those I work with at the city of Hailey and the Hailey and Wood River fire departments.” Aberbach moved from sunny south Florida to accept the position of fire chief in November 2013. Since that time, Mayor Fritz Haemmerle has often congratulated him for his key role in bringing about increased consolidation of services of south valley fire departments. Aberbach also serves as assistant chief of Wood River Fire & Rescue. “Craig has been a force of nature for the city of Hailey,” Haemmerle said. “He has immersed himself in our community in the most positive way and is fully deserving of being the grand marshal.” Lately, Aberbach has been serving as incident commander during flood events, patrolling city streets and keeping families informed about rising floodwaters. “Having the support of Vicki

has made the transition from South Florida a great experience,” he said. “Prior to 2013, I had never seen a change of season or been exposed to a real winter. I absolutely love the change of seasons here and what each different season has to offer.” The Aberbachs may have gotten more than they bargained for during last winter’s extreme weather. “In Florida, I’ve seen hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, flooding and wildfires, everything except freezing weather and deep snow and avalanches you have here,” Aberbach said. “This past year, the community has been faced with many challenges, from near-record snowfalls to an extended flooding event. The way the community comes together shows what a great place we live in. This is one of the greatest community attributes and why I love living here.” Aberbach has also found time to support a variety of Blaine County School District programs and serves as a board member for the Senior Connection. Several years ago, Aberbach established the Fire Explorers Program for high school kids interested in joining the Fire Department. Several of his recruits have graduated from the fire academy and are now working on fire departments part-time while they attend colleges. “I like helping people—that’s the reason I became a firefighter,” he said.

Reigning U.S. women’s figure skating champion Karen Chen is co-headliner of Sun Valley on Ice’s July 4 opening show. Chen, 18, is expected to be a favorite for one of three U.S. women’s singles berths at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics.

It’s vintage and traditional, yet Sun Valley on Ice skates on the cutting edge of popular music and trends nearly each Saturday summer night. And that’s something to brag about for the longest-running of all Idaho entertainments, 81 years young and still percolating with freshness and creativity. Sun Valley on Ice figure skaters, taking their cues from catchy music, will spin the scenes and sounds of outdoor magic beginning with the first of seven summer ice show performances on Tuesday, July 4. “We have a strong cast of headliners,” said 2017 Sun Valley on Ice director and producer Scott Irvine. “In a pre-Olympic year, it’s exciting to see firsthand how skaters are coming into things. They’re poised to do some great things at the Olympics, and they’re here.” Up to 40 skaters, ranging from the youngest of the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club kids to many of the world’s best skaters, will unveil the first of a full summer of amazing group numbers and solo routines in front of thousands of spectators. Headliners like top U.S. female contenders Karen Chen, Ashley Wagner and Gracie Gold are poised to entertain. Nathan Chen has emerged into an Olympic hopeful, and Jason Brown is hot on his heels. Irvine said about Nathan Chen, who has skated in Sun Valley on Ice since age 11, “It’s been phenomenal to see his transformation up close and personal. We’ve love it that Sun Valley gets to play a part if he ends up standing on top at the Olympics. “Chen is so talented, and so easy to work with. He’s still on the road to finding out what he is as an artist and as a skater.” Johnny Weir along with reigning Olympic ice dancing gold medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White are coming back to Sun Valley ice. So are 2015 U.S. ice dancing champs Madison Chock and Evan Bates from Michigan. Just about all of this summer’s Sun Valley headliners performed on Scott Hamilton’s 31st annual Stars on Ice Tour, which started April 13 after the 2017 World Championships and went to seven American cities through May 21.

In that respect, the tour and their encore performances in Sun Valley this summer are previews of the Olympic-qualifying 2018 U.S. Championships at San Jose, Calif., in January—and possibly of the 2018 Olympics. But Sun Valley on Ice is much more than that. “In our shows, we celebrate the whole idea and concept of Sun Valley. It’s a place where people come for an escape, to find someplace that’s entirely different, a resort with a grand tradition based on being outdoors,” Irvine said. Glow necklaces and holiday fireworks will be on full display under the stars for the Independence Day show. Yet the skating itself is front and center in Sun Valley on Ice. Though it’s the 81st summer of ice shows at Sun Valley, it’s the sixth season of the Sun Valley on Ice format that debuted in 2012. That format compressed the Sun Valley Ice Show summer schedule from 14 or 15 weekly shows down to seven in 2017. It asked solo skaters in the weekly ensemble to rotate their numbers from week to week, providing a fresh look to each show. “You’ll never come to Sun Valley and see the same show two weeks in a row,” Irvine said about how it works. Sun Valley on Ice has focused more attention on the ensemble group numbers—showing the audience many skaters skillfully moving on ice together to great music. “There’s something special about 20 skaters moving in unison to the music, and hearing their blades on the ice in the night air,” Irvine said. “We make sure the show flows well to keep the audience engaged.” Sun Valley on Ice choreographer Stephanee Grosscup from Utah has been working for months to bring together the themes for the group numbers. She starts talking with Irvine in January about her ideas. A big part of the process is coming up with the music. Grosscup started skating in the Sun Valley Ice Show 41 years ago while working as a skate shop rental employee. She spent 22 summers as a soloist See ICE, next page

Sun Valley on Ice 2017 schedule and specifics

Express photo by Willy Cook

Three-time U.S. champion Johnny Weir, always popular with Sun Valley audiences because of his flair and skating abilities, is headliner for Sun Valley on Ice’s Labor Day weekend finale.

Sun Valley on Ice brings stars to valley Continued from previous page in Sun Valley and was on the choreographic team for the Salt Lake City Olympics. Irvine said, “We put in hundreds of hours here for our seven performances. We try to give all of our skaters creative freedom. We like that their personalities have a chance to show through at each show.” He added, “Stephanee has raised the bar for our production numbers. She does a remarkable job with powerful pieces, while paying homage to the Sun Valley themes.” Remixes of familiar music, whether New Age or popular from the past, are the foundation of the group numbers. Irvine said group numbers begin with “Into the Wild,” music by indie rock recording artist Laura Pergolizzi (known as LP). “It sets the whole tone for the show about freedom, escape and the Sun Valley experience,” he said. This year’s remembering-the-roots throwback to the tux-and-tails Duchin Room era at Sun Valley is a jazzy Peter Gunn and Night Train number—all vintage and nostalgic, with glamour afoot. Six ensemble skaters will invite the audience to “Come With Me,” a pure imagination piece from “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” “It ties the show together with a creative moment,” Irvine said. The next group number is a new version of the 1968 Simon and Garfunkel classic “The Sound of Silence,” this one done simply, quietly and powerfully by Disturbed. “It focuses on pure skating, and should be a hit,” Irvine said. Justin Timberlake’s Grammy Award-winning “Can’t Stop the Feeling” from the 2016 movie “Trolls” will be the foot-tapping finale number that wraps everything up with a “can’t stop the Sun Valley feeling” takeaway, Irvine said. Skate shop Manager Daisy Langley has been in charge of costumes, finalizing the proper color palette and fitting for the costumes. Ice show technical director Jay Cutler has worked with Irvine on the lights and sounds of the show.

There have been lighting upgrades, Irvine said, that will “expand the color combinations we can use, and enhance the production value.” Stability in the ensemble, with virtually all the performers returning year after year, has been very positive for the Sun Valley on Ice experience. “We have repeat guests here, and the same holds true for our ensemble,” Irvine said. “They’re my friends, and all are driven to perform. “The skaters have found there is something special that keeps them here. They like to challenge themselves, and push the envelope, and bring something new to the audience. They don’t want to disappoint.” The world-class ensemble group features ice dancers Kimberly Navarro and Brent Bommentre, the 2008-09 U.S. ice dancing bronze medalists. Always creative and engaging, Craig Heath and Ashley Clark will have a few tricks up their sleeves—Clark with her light and fire show, and Heath with his dazzling costumes and fresh interpretations. The summer ensemble includes Ryan Bradley, 33, the U.S. national champion six years ago. He is joined by Salt Lake City’s Erin Reed. Pairs skater Natalia Zaitseva, a new mom, will be back performing with partner Jonathon Hunt, 2013 World Junior Pairs bronze medalist and Ice Theater of New York skater. Returning to Sun Valley for a sixth year is comic skater and Disney on Ice showman Jason Graetz from Montreal. Also back and still as gracious and athletic as always are Frank Sweiding and Anita Hartshorn, U.S. Open and world pro pairs champions. Rounding out the ensemble are Ty Cockrum, Cari Maus, Darlin Baker, Lauren Farr, Neil Shelton and newcomer Adam Kaplan, who has worked abroad previously with choreographer Grosscup in the American Theater on Ice. A welcome facet of Sun Valley on Ice is the appearance of Sun Valley Figure Skating Club youngsters performing each show. There are 17 kids, ages 8 and under, enjoying skate teacher Natalie Zaitseva’s choreography. They will incorporate “Be Our Guest” music from “Beauty and the Beast,” with a little “Ice, Ice Baby,” hiphop, and see what they come up with.

Headliners like

top U.S. female contenders Karen Chen, Ashley Wagner and Gracie Gold are poised to entertain.

New this year for all seven Sun Valley on Ice performances is a private VIP Meet and Greet package. It entitles buyers to meet ice show headliners for a photo-and-signature session two hours before each show. Limited hotel packages are available in Meet and Greet. Call 800-786-8259 to book. The Fourth of July show starts around 9:40 p.m. capped by holiday fireworks. By the end of August, Sun Valley on Ice shows will begin at 8:45 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. because of the shortening of daylight. Each show lasts 70 minutes and is held rain or shine. After the first show on Tuesday, July 4, Sun Valley on Ice will be staged each Saturday through Sept. 2 except for July 8, July 15 and Aug. 19. Independence Day holiday ticket prices range from $49 to $159, plus fees and tax. All seating is reserved. Those prices also apply to the July 22 performance with Meryl Davis and Charlie White, and to the Labor Day weekend finale featuring Johnny Weir. For the other four shows on the schedule, ticket prices are less—ranging from $29 for bleachers to $139 for the Lodge Terrace dinner and show. Comfort seats for bleacher patrons are available for $12. Advance reservations are recommended. Daycare during the Ice Show is available at the Sun Valley Playschool, 622-2288. Call the Sun Valley Recreation Office at 622-2135 or visit www. sunvalley.com for details. Summer headliners are: l Tuesday, July 4—Reigning U.S. women’s figure skating champion Karen Chen, 18, from Fremont, Calif., came up with a clutch performance at the 2017 World Championships in Finland when she landed six triples in her free skate and finished fourth. The placement assured three 2018 Olympic women’s berths for the U.S. Making their second visit to Sun Valley on Ice are Michigan-based ice dancers Madison Chock, 24, and Evan Bates, 28, the 2015 U.S. champions and 2016 world bronze medalists. Partners for six years, Chock and Bates placed second at this year’s nationals in Kansas City. l Saturday, July 22—Record-setting Olympic ice dancers Meryl Davis, 30, and Charlie White, 29, from Michigan announced in February that they won’t compete during the 2018 Olympic season. But they continue to perform in ice shows. The two-time world champions and six-time U.S. winners took a step up from their 2010 Olympic silver medal to win the 2014 Olympic gold medal at Sochi, Russia. They became the first-ever U.S. ice dancing Olympic gold medalists. “Consummate Sun Valley favorites,” Sun Valley on Ice director and producer Scott Irvine said about the elegant Davis and White. l Saturday, July 29—Nathan Chen, 18, from Salt Lake City, Utah is returning to Sun Valley on Ice for a seventh year. But this summer, Chen is truly a great U.S. men’s hope. The 2016 U.S. bronze medalist, Chen won his first U.S. men’s national title at Kansas City, Mo., in January 2017 by landing five quadruple jumps in a single free-skate program. That was a first, and his point score of 318.47 was a record. “We’ve watched Nathan grow from a charming little kid to a handsome young man,” Irvine said. “I’ve always found him very entertaining. The technical level of skating he incorporates in his program, well, he makes it look effortless.” l Saturday, Aug. 5—Three-time U.S. skating champion and 2014 Olympic bronze medalist Ashley Wagner, 26, from Alexandria, Va. A picture of determination and practice-makes-perfect style, Wagner was last year’s World Championship silver medalist— the first World Championship medal for a U.S. ladies singles skater in 10 years. “A great performer,” Irvine called her. She spins and jumps clockwise, against the grain of the skating norm. But it’s the skating that’s been the one constant in the life of military brat Wagner, who moved nine times in 10 years as a kid. l Saturday, Aug. 12—Fan favorite Jason Brown, 22, the 2015 U.S. men’s champion and 2014 Olympian from Highland Park, Ill., and Los Angeles, Calif. Brown, known for his ponytail and captivating performances, shrugged off a stress fracture and skated to third place in the 2017 U.S. Nationals at Kansas City. Irvine said, “Jason gets in front of the crowd and just shines.” l Saturday, Aug. 26—Two-time U.S. women’s singles champion Gracie Gold, 21. She placed fourth in the 2014 Olympics and repeated her national championship from that year in 2016. In 2015-16, she placed fourth at worlds. Massachusetts native Gold has changed coaches and is looking forward to a concerted drive toward making the 2018 U.S. Olympic women’s team. l Saturday, Sept. 2—Johnny Weir, 32, 2008 world bronze medalist and three-time U.S. men’s champion (2004-2006) from Pennsylvania. Weir has become one of the sport’s most engaging television commentators along with sidekick Tara Lipinski, the 1998 Olympic gold medalist. “Johnny always gets the crowd going, and he’s just as excited to be here in Sun Valley,” Irvine said. “He and Tara are phenomenal with their television work. They are both into current fashion. Young skaters connect with them.”

Hailey heritage gets down and dirty at rodeo Days of the Old West Rodeo brings alive cowboy tradition of old By JOSHUA MURDOCK Express Staff Writer

go toward supporting therapeutic horsemanship, high school rodeo competitors, 4-H clubs and skijoring events. In addition to regional heritage, this year’s rodeo will specifically honor two patriarchs of the Sawtooth Rangers—Bill Sherbine and Ted Uhrig—who died in the year since the 2016 rodeo. “They served in every role throughout the years,� Lancaster said, explaining that Uhrig helped organize the rodeo in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, and that Sherbine was involved through more recent years, as well. He said the pair would be honored during each of the rodeo’s three nights this year because attendees and participants should understand the lifelong dedication they gave to the organization, and to honor the work still done by each man’s families.

When the roads in town were dirt and time slipped past a bit slower, the Wood River Valley’s ranchers, cowboys and cowgirls spent their days on horseback, tending to livestock in their fields and on the open range. But winds of change in decades past swept agricultural activity southward, mostly out of the valley, pushing the bulk of the region’s ranching and farming to the Camas Prairie, Bellevue Triangle and Picabo Desert south of the Wood River Valley. In homage to the valley’s bygone cowboy culture, and as a tribute to the farmers and ranchers remaining in a valley now more focused on tourism, the Sawtooth Rangers’ annual Days of the Old West Rodeo, to be held July 2-4, offers more than 70 years of Nonstop excitement Hailey rodeo heritage spread over Each night of the Days of the three nights of competition, enterOld West Rodeo will be packed tainment and celebration.

RODEO Rodeo will provide 3 consecutive nights of Western fun Continued from previous page a cloverleaf pattern and then blast back out of the arena. Barrel racing is timed, and riders receive a time penalty if they knock over a barrel when rounding it. In steer wrestling, sometimes called bulldogging, cowboys on horses will ride alongside a steer, leap from their saddle and grab the steer around the neck to wrestle it to the ground. In tie-down roping, a cowboy lassos a calf using rope tied to the horn of his horse’s saddle, dismounts the horse, runs the length of the rope and ties the calf’s legs together. Team roping sees a pair of cowboys, each on horses, working together to rope a calf. One cowboy ropes the calf’s head, spinning it around and throwing its rear legs into the air. In a split second, the other cowboy attempts to lasso the calf’s momentarily outstretched rear legs to bring it to the ground between the cowboys. In breakaway roping, a single cowgirl on a horse attempts to rope a running calf but does not tie the calf or bring it to the ground. Multiple events involve cowboys attempting to remain astride a bucking animal for more than eight seconds. If they remain on for that time, they’re scored based on their ride and the stock they were on.

AAA projects that more than 44.2 million Americans will travel as part of their Independence Day plans. With an additional 1.25 million travelers compared to last year—a 2.9 percent increase— ready to take to the road, sea and sky, this year’s Fourth of July travel volume is expected to be the highest on record. “An improving job market, high consumer confidence and relatively affordable gas prices will motivate many Americans to visit loved ones for food, fireworks and fun this year,” said Matthew Conde, public affairs manager for AAA Idaho. “More than ever, Americans celebrate the Fourth of July as an essential holiday getaway.” Idahoans will share in the experience. More than 221,000 will travel over the holiday weekend, defined as the five-day period from Friday, June 30, to Tuesday, July 4. About 188,000 will drive, and almost 18,000 will fly.

All major travel modes on the rise

“We expect prices to climb with increased demand, but that won’t interfere with anyone’s party plans.” Here’s a seven-year retrospective of Idaho gas prices for the July 4 holiday: l 2010 - $2.91 l 2011 - $3.66 l 2012 - $3.71 l 2013 - $3.78 l 2014 - $3.69 l 2015 - $2.95 l 2016 - $2.48. While pump prices in Idaho and the Rocky Mountain region have recently ticked higher in response to early seasonal demand, supplies are abundant across the U.S., the AAA reports. In many parts of the country, high inventory has overwhelmed demand to put downward pressure on gas prices, but that could change as summer travel picks up the pace. AAA expects to rescue more than 338,000 motorists this Independence Day weekend. “The primary culprits are flat tires, lockouts and battery issues,” Conde said. “As busy as it’s going to be, it would be wise to have your vehicle inspected by a trusted repair shop before hitting the road.”

AAA says 37.5 million Americans will drive to their destinations, an increase of about 3 percent over last year. Another 3.44 million will board a plane, and Plan ahead air travel will rise by 4.6 percent. “Take some time to do a litThe other modes of transportation will also climb, with travel tle research before you travel,” by cruise, bus and train increas- Conde suggested. “If you know what to expect, the expeing 1.4 percent to 3.27 million travelers.

In the Road Apple Roulette raffle, game players try to predict where horses will leave droppings, or “road apples.�

Players, horses throw down for Road Apple Roulette In other places, betting on horses is common, but not like this By JOSHUA MURDOCK Express Staff Writer

Horse droppings haven’t been a common sight on Main Street in Hailey since the road was dirt and ranchers trotted through town atop four-hooved companions, but people are hoping to see the road covered during the Hailey Rotary Road Apple Roulette fundraiser this Fourth of July. Here’s how it works: The Fourth of July parade route on Main Street in Hailey is sectioned off into 10,000 squares using GPS technology set up by Galena Engineering. Participants can buy as many squares as are available for $5 apiece, and if a horse leaves droppings on a purchased square, the owner is given an entry into a prize drawing held at the end of the parade. After the parade, winners will be posted online at www.roadappleroulette.org and will also be notified via telephone. “We raise a lot of money other ways, but this is our biggest one,� Hailey Rotary Secretary Carolyn Lister said. Lister said last year’s roulette grossed more than $61,000 and netted more than $52,000 after almost $8,500 in expenses, most of which were advertising costs. “It’s the advertising that gets us,� she said. Of the money raised at the roulette and other events, 97 percent is spent locally. Lister said that in 2017, as Rotary spends the money it raised in 2016, $39,000 will go toward local grants and $1,200 will be spent internationally. Local beneficiaries have included Wood River High

School’s Model UN and Business Professionals clubs, Company of Fools, Wood River Middle School’s CHOICES program, Kiwanis, Mountain Rides pass sponsorships, childhood literacy programs, Women Deliver and Rotarun Ski Club. Internationally, a small portion of funds helps one Rotary member travel to San Salvador to build homes. Lister said scholarships constitute $20,000 of funds spent locally this year. Rotary is also building an endowment fund to send two Wood River Valley students per year to agricultural school. Generously donated prizes include: l $5,000 cash. l Half-day river trip from Payette River Co. l 42-inch high-definition TV. l 15-day season ski pass to Sun Valley. l One-week vacation in Mexico. l Gift certificates to businesses including Atkinsons’, CK’s Real Food and Zou 75. Grid square tickets can be purchased at www.roadappleroulette. org or from: l Sage Bookkeeping. l Luke’s Family Pharmacy. l Shelly Siebel-Edward Jones. l Cindy Unger—dentist. l Ron Reese-Ree Construction. l Kelly Young—D.L. Evans Bank. After buying squares, participants can find where their squares are on the parade route by entering a square tag number into a search tool on the event’s website. jmurdock@mtexpress.com

Following a winter of hefty snowfall, the Wood River Valley community is now turning its attention to the vast trail systems that surround it. Justin Blackstead, trail crew foreman for the Ketchum Ranger District, said he and his crew have been working diligently to clear debris to make the trails more appealing and safe. “I was impressed with the community this year and their trail ethics,” Blackstead said. “They were being responsible and patient. Overall, people have been nice and courteous.” Blackstead urges hikers to step over downed logs and branches, if possible, rather than hike around them. If enough people hike around a fallen tree, it can create a scar up and around the tree, causing more work for the trail crew. Zach Poff, recreation/winter sports program manager for the Ketchum Ranger District, suggested that hikers call the Forest Service and give reports on trail conditions. “We have 440 miles of trails, and as much as we’d love to be out there looking everywhere every day, we can’t,” Poff said. “That’s how we hear about major problems—people call in.” Poff added that hikers should be careful when hiking this time of the year. Creek-crossing can be dangerous, as a lot of backcountry trails don’t have bridges. When encountering wildlife, hikers are advised to keep a safe distance between themselves and elk, moose or deer, as it’s calving season. “They’ve had a pretty stressful winter and they’re starting to recover and look good,” Poff said. “If you see elk, moose or deer, they’ll probably have babies around.” Poff added that this is also a

great time of year for bird watching because a lot of birds are nesting now. Here is a list of some popular hikes in the valley:

with the popularity of the hike called for a partnership on maintenance of the trail. “We did a bunch of work on Proctor,” Blackstead said. “It was a good collaboration with us and Sun Valley’s trail crew. We had both crews giving it a huge facelift. It’s one of the most popular trails in our community, especially for hiking, so we jumped on it.”

Pioneer Cabin: This is easily one of the most well-known local hikes because of its difficulty, terrain, distance and views from the top. The 8.5-mile loop takes two to three hours on the climb. For the full effect, hikers should carve out an entire day to experience the views. The trail ascends through old-growth fir forests on the trail before providing gorgeous views of the Pioneer Mountains. The cabin sits at an elevation of 9,400 feet. Built in 1937 by the Union Pacific Railroad as a ski hut, its condition has deteriorated over the decades. However, a group of volunteers began to refurbish it last fall. Technically, the hike is open, but much winter debris remains on the trails, and hikers should beware of about 12 large trees down. To get there, take Sun Valley Road northeast for five miles and turn right on Corral Creek Road No. 137. Travel 3.8 miles to the trailhead No. 122.

Bald Mountain: A list of summer favorites wouldn’t be complete without Bald Mountain. As much as it’s a skiing favorite, Baldy has its summer perks. In the thick of summer, it’s open to both hikers and mountain bikers. There are 13 trails covering 34 miles. Currently, there are only a few trails open, as cleanup on River Run is underway. People can hike up Bald Mountain, a very challenging trek, or they can buy a lift ticket and take hikes starting higher up on the mountain. The lifts opened for operation beginning June 23. From the base of River Run, the Bald Mountain Trail leads to a scenic overlook. Maps and additional information can be found at www.sunvalley.com.

Proctor Mountain Loop: This is another hiker favorite for its proximity to town and rewarding views. The loop is only 5 miles, but is labeled as most difficult. The trail is accessible from the Ernest Hemingway Memorial along Trail Creek Road in Sun Valley. The top offers a beautiful view of Bald Mountain and the Sun Valley Lodge. Hikers are also treated to a bit of history, as one of the world’s first three chairlifts, all built at Sun Valley, sits nearby on Ruud Mountain. Some remnants remain of the Proctor Mountain chairlift, built in 1936 for Sun Valley’s opening. The heavy snowfall combined

Adams Gulch area trails: Adams Gulch is a favorite for hikers and mountain bikers alike, and trail managers considered maintenance there a priority. “We’re seeing some pretty massive effects,” Blackstead said. “The problems that we saw on Adams Gulch Road were fixed. We took a mini excavator and fixed everything up to Eve’s Gulch, which had some damage. We’re just seeing spots where [the trails] need more maintenance than usual.” Adams Gulch has a wide variety of trails, from Sunnyside, Shadyside and Citizen’s Trail, which are easy hikes, to Eve’s Gulch, Pork Chop, Adams Gulch Trail See HIKES, next page

HIKES Rewarding hikes abound in the Wood River Valley Continued from previous page and Harper’s Trail, which are more difficult. Lengths of each trail vary from 1.5 miles to 14 miles. To get to Adams Gulch, drive north of Ketchum on state Highway 75 for 1.5 miles. Turn left at Adams Gulch Road, then follow the road for three-quarters of a mile to the trailhead, turning right after crossing the bridge, then left at the next intersection. The area is great for bird watching. Fox Creek-Oregon Gulch trails: Farther north from Adams Gulch are the Fox Creek and Oregon Gulch trail systems. These include North Fork Loop, Chocolate Gulch and Saddle Trail, with distances ranging from two to 9.8 miles. According to Blackstead, there was major cleanup on this trail system, and his crew worked hard to open as many trails as possible. “Fox Creek had seen some considerable damage, especially to all the small wooden bridges throughout the trail,” he said. Blackstead and his crew again partnered with another group for trail maintenance at Fox Creek; this time it was the Wood River Bike Coalition. “There are approximately five bridges that will need major rebuilding,” he added. “There’s a lot of damage, but most of it is down near the bottom next to drainage creeks. Any damage

The challenging trek to Pioneer Cabin, foreground, rewards hikers with astounding views of the Pioneer Mountains. that is higher up on the slopes has done pretty well. All of Oregon is fine, which I was really surprised about.” Baker Lake and alpine lakes: Baker Lake has become one of the more satisfying trails because of its short distance (only 2 miles) with a high degree of difficulty. While it seems like a long hike, just before your legs can get tired, hikers are presented with a beautiful alpine lake open to fishing.

To get there, drive north of Ketchum on Highway 75 for 15.5 miles. Turn left onto Baker Creek Road No. 162. While driving to the Baker Lake trailhead, hikers will be tempted with numerous other alpine lake trails such as Mill Lake, Norton Lake, Prairie Lakes and Miner Lake. All trails are labeled difficult with varying distances from 2 to 5 miles each. Because of the heavy snowpack, hiking Baker will be fun,

but challenging near the top. Hikers should be aware of the last quarter of the hike, as it could be covered in snow. There are also large amounts of water runoff that merge into Baker Creek. As of late June, Baker Lake was still three-quarters frozen. That will create tough fishing, but most fishermen who venture up will at least be able to enjoy the hike itself. Trails to the other alpine lakes are technically open, but are difficult as trees and snowpack block

passage. This is the case for Norton Lake, where hikers will come across multiple snow patches right from the beginning. At around the 1-mile point, hikers will be confronted by a big snow patch with a large tree on top blocking the trail.

The crisp, cobbler, crumble, grunt, slump or buckle. What do these all have in common? They are all fruit desserts baked with a sweet “pastry” topping. They’re also the epitome of a fresh summer dessert — although I have been known to turn apples and pears into crisps in the fall. Still, a hot summer fruit dessert topped with vanilla ice cream is the essence of summer. I am partial to a crisp which is fruit topped with a combination of “crisp” oatmeal, flour, butter and sugar and sometimes nuts. The topping ranges from streusel to granola and completely covers the fruit. Since the topping is everyone’s favorite part of the dessert, I add pecans to make the crisp topping even more crunchy and substantial. I think of it as the dessert version of granola. The crisp is sometimes referred to as a crumble or a buckle when a more classic streusel topping is used. Cobblers are generally topped with batters or biscuits and the topping is spooned on to the fruit leaving space that the fruit can bubble up and show through. Grunts or slumps are like cobblers and the name is purported to come from the sound that the fruit makes as it cooks and emits steam through the spaces between the biscuits. No matter how it is topped, I love to grill this dessert. Even though the process is similar to baking it in the oven, it is much more dramatic and you will surely impress your friends and family. In the summer, I make a crisp almost every week. Right now, I am making it with strawberries and rhubarb, but it is good with whatever fruit you find at the market. Make sure that the fruit is ripe, and mix it with a little bit of sugar, citrus and cinnamon. The addition of Grand Marnier is optional but one that I always opt for as it makes a big difference in the depth of flavor, and marrying all the ingredients. If you don’t have Grand Marnier, add a bit of bourbon or your favorite citrus or nut liqueur. When you toss the fruit with the sugar and cornstarch, be sure to mix well and let the fruit sit for 5 minutes to bring out the natural juices and mix again. When baking, make sure that you bake long enough for the cornstarch and fruit juices to bubble up and turn opaque or your crisp will taste slightly raw and gritty instead of silky smooth and fruit tart. The tale-tell sign of a crisp that is done cooking is the drips of this juice running down the side of the dish. The dessert is made for easy entertaining since you can assemble it early in the day and bake it just before you want to eat it and serve it hot-off-the grill, or bake it in advance and serve it at room temperature. If I am baking it while we eat, I put the crisp on the grill over indirect medium heat when I take the meat off the grill. That way, it is bubbling and hot when everyone is ready for dessert. I

love the drama of lifting the lid of the grill in front of my guests and seeing their eyes light up with the thought of a grilled fruit crisp. Either way, it is enhanced by a scoop of best-quality vanilla ice cream! STRAW BERRY-RHUBARB CRISP WITH PECAN TOPPING Servings: 10. Start to finish: 110 minutes (20 minutes active). Topping: 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup regular or quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant) 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2teaspoon kosher salt 1/2cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, cut into small pieces Filling: 3 pounds strawberries, cleaned and halved (about 5 generous cups) 2 cups chopped rhubarb, about 3 stalks 1/3 cup granulated white sugar 1 orange, zested and juiced (about 1/2 cup total) 1 lemon, zested and juiced (about 1/2 cup total) 2/3 cup sugar in the raw 1/4 cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, optional Build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill. Or preheat oven to 350 F. Make the topping: In a large bowl, combine all the topping ingredients except the butter. Work in the butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles large, coarse bread crumbs. Set aside. Make the filling: In another large bowl, place the strawberries. In a smaller bowl, toss the chopped rhubarb. Add the orange juice, lemon juice, orange and lemon zests, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon; mix lightly. Add the Grand Marnier, if using. Set aside for 5 minutes. Place the fruit mixture in a deep round baking dish or souffle dish. Top it evenly with the streusel mixture. In a grill, place the dish in the center of the cooking grate over indirect medium heat, cover the grill, and bake. In the oven, set the dish on a sheet pan and place in the center of the oven. Bake for 60-90 minutes, or until the juices bubble over the baking dish, and are clear, and the top is browned. Chef’s note: For those of you used to making fruit crisps, you may be surprised by the longer cooking time, but the rhubarb takes longer than most fruit to cook. I made this twice, and the first time that I took out the crisp at 60 minutes, the rhubarb was still crunchy. Ninety minutes resulted in a perfect texture. Transfer the baking dish to a cooling rack. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired. Elizabeth Karmel is a barbecue and Southern foods expert.

American independence sparked democracies

OPEN DAILY 9AM TO 8PM 208.622.2276 | SUNVALLEY.COM

Revolutions ensued in France and South America By SAM ERICKSON Creative Outlet

When the fledgling colonies declared their independence and their right to self-govern, they had no idea what kind of change they would create throughout the rest of the world. The American Revolution instilled the ideas of democracy and self-determination in people around the world and set off a chain of events, reverberating into the 20th century. The French Revolution is closely tied with the American Revolution. Long used to monarchy and the divine right of kings, the masses of people in France were inspired by the successful American Revolution and the ideas of the Enlightenment, which had also influenced American thinkers. These ideas asserted that every person had inalienable rights and the abilities to be productive citizens of the republic. The aristocracy did not give in peaceably. Unlike in the American Revolution, the battles for France were internal and took place on French soil. Bastille Day marks one of the seminal moments in the history of the revolution, when the Bastille prison was stormed by mobs. This event marked the beginning of the French Republic and is celebrated with parades and martial music to this day on July 14. While the French Revolution was bloody and eventually led to Napoleon’s leading the country as dictator before it returned to a republican form of government, the movement for independence continued to grow. Napoleon deposed King Ferdinand VII in Spain, and that offered the far-flung members

of the Spanish empire an opportunity. A weeklong series of events took place in Argentina, the second largest country in South America, in May 1810. While Spain had tried to keep the ideas of the Enlightenment and news about the previous revolutions from its colonies, banning all literature related to it, the movement toward independence was unstoppable. In Buenos Aires, an extraordinary group of citizens met to decide the fate of the country and supported a military junta. A formal declaration of independence was finally issued at the Congress of Tucumán on July 9, 1816. Independence Day in India is celebrated on Aug. 15. It was nearly 170 years after the American Revolution that India was able to detach itself from the British Empire. Many people, including Gandhi, first called for an independent state at the beginning of the century, but it took nearly 40 years to build a movement large enough to convince the British. The British finally relented and granted independence in 1947, separating India into three separate territories—Pakistan, India and East Pakistan, now called Bangladesh. Today, flag hoisting is the primary celebration on this Indian national holiday, with cultural programs and patriotic dances and programs throughout the country. Most Americans recognize the essential values of self-rule and democracy marked by the Fourth of July. While not the first to experiment with these ideas, the Founding Fathers were the first to put democratic reforms into action. They were the model for many democracies to follow.

The Lewis-Lemon General Store, built in 1887, is one of Ketchum’s most-visible historic buildings. The Main Street structure has been the site of many businesses, including the Cornerstone Bar and Grill, which closed in the spring.

CHECK OUT KETCHUM’S HISTORY Tour of city provides view into Ketchum’s pioneer days By EXPRESS STAFF On July 4, 1882, four prominent Ketchum men saw the fruits of their partnership come to life, when the Guyer Hot Springs Resort opened to host the city’s Independence Day celebration. The opening of the resort two miles west of Ketchum, near Warm Springs Creek, marked the beginning of an era in which several high-profile buildings were erected in the growing city. Circa 1884, Isaac Ives Lewis, a onetime Montana banker and one of the founding partners in the Guyer Hot Springs Resort, built the Isaac Lewis First National Bank on Main Street. That same year, miner Robert Emoric Leonard and Boise U.S. Marshal Joe Pinkham built the LewisLemon General Store across from Lewis’ bank on Main Street. The building—built from locally made brick—was used as a wholesale and retail grocery business that sold clothing, hardware and other provisions. The structure was built with the encouragement of Lewis, who eventually partnered with his son-in-law, William Howard Lemon, to operate the site. In 1887, A.W. Comstock built a prominent brick building further north on Main Street, at what is now the street’s juncture with Sun Valley Road. The Comstock-Clark Mercantile building became one of the focal points of the community and was a hub of activity during the construction of the heralded Sun Valley Lodge in the 1930s. All three of the Main Street buildings today remain part of the downtown Ketchum landscape. The Issac Lewis First National Bank has been renovated and is now a showroom for Rocky Mountain Hardware. The Lewis-Lemon General Store was

renovated to house the Cornerstone Bar and Grill, which closed in the spring. The Comstock-Clark Mercantile building is now the site of an Italian restaurant and wine bar called Enoteca. While a simple stroll down Main Street renders a glimpse into Ketchum’s past, history enthusiasts wanting a more in-depth look at the city’s early days can take a rewarding self-guided walking tour. Tips can be found at the Sun Valley Museum of History, located on First Street in Forest Service Park. The Historical Society can help give people an education in the history of some two-dozen historic structures in central Ketchum. Much of the history included in the city comes from Ketchum’s boom days in the 1880s, when hundreds of industrious pioneers arrived in the city to seek a fortune in the region’s mines. “By the end of 1884, Ketchum boasted 13 saloons, four restaurants, two hotels, three blacksmith shops, six livery stables, seven stages per day, two banks, a drug store, a bookstore, a weekly newspaper, a brewery … and many establishments euphemistically referred to as ‘female boarding houses,’” the Historical Society brochure notes. It adds: “Life wasn’t dull in Ketchum’s boom days. The Ketchum Keystone (newspaper) reported nonchalantly in 1885: ‘A great week for killings and births. The former in preponderance!’” For many participants, the highlight of the walking tour is the historic Ketchum Ranger District complex, located at Washington Avenue and First Street. The city-owned complex is today the site of numerous historic buildings, a public park and the Sun Valley Museum of History. For more information, contact the Ketchum-Sun Valley Historical Society at 726-8118.

Yellowstone tries to stop mussels’ spread By ASSOCIATED PRESS

it’s here! on stands now

JACKSON, Wyo.—Yellowstone National Park officials are installing barriers in front of boat launches in an attempt to prevent invasive mussels recently discovered in Montana from spreading to the park and into the Columbia River Basin. Invasive mussel larvae have been found in Montana’s Tiber Reservoir and are suspected in Canyon Ferry Reservoir. They can spread quickly, clogging pipes, displacing native species and causing other environmental problems. The moveable barriers will be installed at launches at Yellowstone and Lewis lakes to keep uninspected boats from entering the lakes when check stations and entry points aren’t staffed in the early mornings and at night, the Jackson Hole News and Guide reported. They will keep unin-

spected boats from entering the lakes when check stations and entry points are not staffed. “We don’t want to be known as the park that allowed zebra mussels to enter the Columbia Basin,” Yellowstone fisheries supervisor Todd Koel said. The Columbia River Basin is the network of waterways from Canada to Wyoming and across the Pacific Northwest that drains into the river that flows into the ocean. Yellowstone rules require that all watercraft are inspected. Park officials use high-temperature pressure washers to make sure that vegetation, animals and debris are removed from boats before they arrive at boat launches. Most vessels used in the park’s waters come from Montana, Wyoming and Idaho, according to boater registration data.

ASPEN, Colo.—Aspen hosted the Food and Beverage Festival last weekend, and it was a busy, busy time in Aspen. The event draws a very well-heeled crowd. Consider that it costs $1,650 for a weekend pass. This is the 35th year for the festival. The event was launched in 1983, when June was a somewhat slower month in Aspen. There were 50 winemakers pouring for just 300 guests. It was an instant hit, but not a financial success. That didn’t come until a pairing several years later with Food and Wine Magazine and a rebranding as the Aspen-Snowmass Food & Wine Classic. “And, as they say, the rest is history,” The Aspen Times writes. Now, the festival attracts big-name chefs from far away to talk about chocolate and whatever else. For example, the first seminar on Saturday morning had renowned chef Daniel Boulud holding a skinned rabbit high in the air. “Once you go rabbit, you never go back,” he said. It wasn’t the only time he dangled a dead animal in the packed house at the “Exotic Mediterranean” seminar, Times correspondent Rose Laudicina wrote. What ensued were “three delicious dishes inspired by the Mediterranean with three wine pairings. The second octopus—two of them, followed by a more sedate honey-glazed eggplant.” Outside the tent, on Aspen’s malls, municipal code enforcement officer Jim Pomeroy was trying to keep order. “It’s like a mosh pit in there,” he told the Aspen Daily News. Pomeroy’s job was to ensure that people weren’t trying to hawk goods, competing with businesses that buy licenses and pay sales and property taxes. One of the offending businesses was a woman trying to sell handcrafted mirrors. But he also had to tell two girls working for Red Bull, wandering around the mall, handing out free samples of the energy drink, that it was a no-no. Food and wine organizers demand that guerilla marketing be stamped out, lest it water down the exposure of the brands paying big bucks to get in front of the well-heeled attendees. But what about the 11-year-old with a lemonade stand? The municipal code officer didn’t say close it down, reports the Daily News. Instead, he told the proprietor’s father that the enterprise would have to move a block away, to avoid creating congestion.

GRAND LAKE, Colo.—Few among us have been hit by lightning. Barbara Stemple was hit and lived to tell about it. That was three years ago. It was an August day of clear, blue skies. She is now hoping to join a group who have undergone what she has gone through, she told the Sky-Hi News. “A lightning strike kind of scrambles a person’s brain,” she said. “It changes your whole neurological system.” Survivors can suffer short-term memory loss and ear aches, also depression and chronic fatigue. Survivors often feel as though their thought processes are delayed, which is why many are loath to talk about their experience.

FRISCO, Colo.—In terms of mood-altering substances, beer, wine and liquor still outpace marijuana. But the Summit Daily News reports that marijuana is gaining on alcohol, as measured by sales tax collections. Alcohol last year generated $346,000 for the town, compared to $213,000 from marijuana. But the liquor sales do not include what is sold in restaurants and bars. Legal sales of marijuana began in 2014. Will volumes slow after this initial spurt? “No, I don’t think so at all,” said Patrick Linfante, assistant manager for Native Roots, the busier of the two marijuana stores in Frisco.

JASPER, Alberta—Filling all the jobs in Jasper’s high summer season is always a challenge. This year seems worse, reports the Jasper Fitzhugh. In early June, 380 jobs were available, more than double the number of jobs posted at the same time last year. “We’re already seeing managers making beds in hotels,” said Ginette Marcoux, executive director for the Jasper Employment and Education Centre. “That usually doesn’t happen until August. The fact that we’re seeing that in June is telling.” Why is this? She cited the lack of housing, fewer university students and changes to Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker program. Employers in the low-wage service sector cannot access that program if the regional unemployment rate is 6 percent or higher. The unemployment rate in that part of Canada stands at 6.9 percent. As for university students, employers may not favor them because they leave when schools resume in mid-August, when tourist season continues.
