This talk will take place at St. Luke’s Hailey Clinic in the Carbonate Rooms. All Brown Bag lectures are free and no pre-registration is required. Call St. Luke’s Center for Community Health for information on this or other educational programs at (208) 727-8733.

Valley Creek Preserve Meeting
6-8PM / Community Center / Stanley
The public is invited to attend the next meeting of the Valley Creek Preserve Community Planning Process on Thursday, Sept. 22 from 6-8 p.m. at the Community Center in Stanley. The Valley Creek Preserve was established by the Wood River Land Trust in 2015 to protect salmon habitat, wetlands and the scenic views of the stunning Sawtooth Valley. Since then, the WRLT has been working with the U.S. Forest Service, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Idaho Governor’s Office of Species Conservation and the City of Stanley to come up with plans and goals for best managing the preserve.
“The Land Trust is excited to work with the community of Stanley to develop a management plan that protects the fish and wildlife habitat of Valley Creek and also creates an asset for the entire community and its visitors,” said Keri York, WRLT director of conservation.
The Valley Creek Preserve covers 34 acres along the northern edge of the Stanley community. It includes wet meadows and a one-mile stretch of Valley Creek. Historically, the creek and its tributaries have been home to a variety of native fish species like steelhead, bull and westslope cutthroat trout, and sockeye and Chinook salmon. Chinook and other species still spawn in Valley Creek, making the small mountain stream critical habitat.

Film Noir Series
7PM / Magic Lantern Cinemas / Ketchum
The third annual Sun Valley Film Noir Series is back and will continue its Thursday evening film screenings on Sept. 22 and 29. The noir classics will all be shown at 7 p.m. at the Magic Lantern Cinemas in Ketchum. Once again, Greg Olson, film director at the Seattle Art Museum, selected the theme for the 2016 film series, “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye.”
“The past is haunted,” Olson said. “It’s over. Live now. Live fast. Grab all the money you can, the dames, the booze, the big prize. Laws, rules, limits – who cares? But if you’re just living for today, you might have to kiss tomorrow goodbye.”
The 2016 Sun Valley Film Noir Series will continue this week with “The Killers” (1946), directed by Robert Siodmak and starring Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner and Edmond O’Brien. This film is based on Ernest Hemingway’s story of the same title. Why does a big, strong guy (Burt Lancaster) not run from two men who want to kill him? The darkly alluring Kitty Collins (Ava Gardner) has a lot to answer for.
Tickets will be $10, available at the Magic Lantern Cinemas box office the day of each film. For details about this exciting annual film event visit www.facebook.com/sunvalleyfilmnoir or for any interest in becoming a supporter, email Jeannine Gregoire at jeanninegregoire@gmail.com.
