IDAHO VETERANS’ GARDEN: Then and Now
Service Officer is available throughout the week with Na tional Service Officer on site daily to finalize or initiate sup port for veterans or beneficia ries requiring assistance.
This garden was developed to provide a special place for veterans to come to enjoy a place that honors them, their service to our country, and to provide a gathering place for their loved ones and themselves to enjoy to gether. Many times after a veteran comes home from an assignment, there is a difficult transitional period of adjustment when it comes to reintegrating into civilian life. This garden provides a “time-out” spot for them to mingle with family and friends and to enjoy the garden.

The Carnegie Library in Caldwell was one of eleven libraries built in Idaho with money from the Carnegie Corporation of New York from 1903 to 1914. The library has been a fixture of our town since its completion in 1914. The library was one of eleven On June 17th of 1979, the library was certified by the National Park Service as a national historical site. The architect/builder/engineer is unknown.Thebuilding was an ac tual library from its opening in 1914 until 1976. After that it was used, until recently,
Therapeutic Garden, but is now known as the Idaho Veterans’ Garden. The Caldwell Board of Realtors’ en dorsement gave the momentum needed to begin this project. It took off like a “wildfire,” with many other orga nizations, businesses, and the City of Caldwell jumping on the “bandwagon” to make it become a reality. Dan Pugmire became the project manager. Many veteran and community volunteers put in many hours to make this a place of peace and tranquility.

Caldwell takes care of its area veterans. Aside from having our Caldwell Veterans’ Memorial Hall, there is another special place for our Veterans to visit for a sense of peace and healing, The Idaho Veterans’ Gar den.The “Garden” started out through the mission of one woman, Gayle Strack, who had two sons in the military with both having served in Iraq, with one son returning with injuries. Though his injuries were sustained during his service, he was met with challenges and resistance while trying to receive a medical discharge. During this time, Gayle met Colonel Glenn O’Dell, who helped her through the protocol and procedures so her son could go home, where he could begin the recovery process for both his physical and emotional injuries. She then became aware of the challenges that returnees faced trying to apply for their disability benefits. She also wanted to do something to repay Glenn O’Dell for his help.When she asked Glenn what she could do, he asked her if she could get a Disabled Veterans’ Garden in Caldwell. She was very excited to have a chance to do this, and could see what a valuable asset such a garden could be to veterans and the community as a whole. And that is how this ball got rolling. It began with a pre sentation to the City of Caldwell and plans were made. Originally, the “Garden” was called the Veterans’

The City of Caldwell purchased the building, which is located at 1101 Cleveland Blvd, from the Caldwell School District and agreed to designate it as the Caldwell Veterans Memo rial Hall. Under a 100-year lease agreement with the City of Caldwell and the Caldwell chapters of the Disabled American Veterans, Veter ans of Foreign Wars and the

So whether it is a smart phone, a blanket, or the Zippo lighter that lit your first cigarette, everyone has a security object. Even dogs. Kyle Morgan
Happiness is a Warm Puppy with a Blanket
But Rusty had no sins he was trying to cover. There was no cat’s body hidden under the floorboards of his doghouse. This was not the canine version of The TellTale Heart. (Tell Tail Heart?) No, the reason Rusty carried a blanket in his mouth was that it was his favorite toy. Simple as that. And before

and fur. Its original purpose was to cushion the floor of Rusty’s doghouse, but this intent was clearly not con veyed to my canine. Instead, I watched as Rusty carried it around in his mouth like a four-legged Linus, leaving behind a dusty trail and not a hint of paw prints. This dog was covering his tracks, that was obvious. But the real
you ask, yes: he had other toys. Loads of them. Out in the country, anything can be a toy for a dog. A tennis ball, a stick, a gopher, any thing. Our backyard was a veritable redneck PetSmart. We had Frisbees, tennis balls, and more sticks than you can…well, shake a stick at! That’s how many sticks we had. You could build a pile of sticks, and still have one left over to shake at the other sticks! But did these assortments of toys meet my dog’s oral needs? Ap parently not. Instead, Rusty chose to walk around with this crusty old blanket in his mouth day in and day out. I was perplexed at how he thought this could be a fun game for us. He wouldn’t drop it by my feet on com mand like a stick or a tennis ball. I tried to play tug of war with him, but some strand would always catch on one of his teeth and I would have to decide if I wanted to lose the game, or risk having to place a small biscuit under neath his pillow as if the tooth puppy had visited in the night. The only time he would drop his blankie, was when all the moisture in his mouth had been absorbed into the fabric. Then he would run over to his water dish and just sit there, soak ing his tongue in the life-giv ing liquid. But this still wasn’t a victory for me. What was I going to do, throw it? Have you ever tried to throw a blanket? You won’t get far. And if you had seen that blanket, you wouldn’t have touched it with one of the many ten-foot poles we had lying around.

I’m glad I never had a security blanket as a kid. Not because I think they are stupid, or anything. But because I was six years old when my parents had to throw away every bit of clothing we had due to toxic mold. Can you imag ine having to explain to a child that their sense of se curity has to be burned in the backyard because it is infected with spores? I was fine getting rid of our blan kets. What I was not okay with, was losing my clip-on bowties! I loved bowties and baseball. Incidentally, Ken Rosenthal was my hero. We all have our secu rity blankets in some form these days. Most likely, you’ll find it in the palms of your hands half of the day. I’m convinced we are just one generation away from people hanging on to their first smartphones like the security blankets of old.
mystery is why? What aw ful deed is my dog trying to hide? Anyone who has ever had a dog knows it’s physi cally impossible for them to hide their shame. It’s written right there on their faces! Heck, you ask a dog “What did you do?” and they will lead you to the scene of the crime. If you ask a cat the same question, it will just slap you across the face and say, “Shut up you pathetic monkey, and feed me.”

It went on like this for months. As soon as I stepped outside, Rusty would immediately pick up his blanket, and begin to wander around the yard, making a playful “come and get me” sound that was comically muffled. I’d chase him around the yard, trying to get my hands on a few loose threads. I found that if I chased him fast enough, he would trip on the blanket and somehow end up on
Do dogs have security blankets? I pondered this question as I watched my yellow lab drag a blanket across the yard. It was a tattered, avocado-green blanket circa the 1970s. The kind that Mike and Carol Brady would use to tuck in the kids at night. But today, this decades-old blanket is covered in saliva, dirt,
the ground swaddled like a newborn baby. But as fun as this phase was, I knew it had to stop. He began to trample the plants in the garden, killing our hopes for fresh produce. And then the final straw hit our cam el’s back. My dad decided to plant grass in our yard. Rusty had other plans. Try as we might to keep him away, Rusty would waddle in, give a blanket state ment, then run away. The blanket had to go. During one of Rusty’s many water breaks, I made a run for it, snatched that blanket, and promptly tossed it into the burn barrel. Rusty spent the better part of that day looking for his blanket. I can’t be sure, but I swore I saw him that night, sucking on his paw. Mournfully.

This is important even in the first stages of counseling and medical treatment. Take a few minutes to take stock of what needs to be removed from your life because it does not help your mental condition. This includes people.
When I made the switch my blood chemistry improved, and I began to feel better generally. Food also tastes better. A number of physi cal impediments went away. Overall, I wish that I had found the plant-based way of eating forty years ago. I would still be older than dirt, but my body would not be as worn out.

One of the rays of sunshine in the treatment of PTSD is that it might disappear from life in general. However, for those of us who get to keep it (yippee!) there are ongoing things that you can do to help yourself control the problem. One thing that I have found that works is to control what goes into your mind.

The combination of physical labor and mental stimulation produces a positive change in my state of mind. After the activity, I am able to deal with the challenges of the day. Ex ercise does not need to be drudgery. Exercise can be enjoyable.Walking is an incredibly good form of exercise. It does not take special equipment, or a group of people. All that is needed is your feet outside pointed in a direction of your choice. A companion, dog, or person, to talk with along the way adds to the fun factor of the walk. Hiking through the countryside we have is an en joyable form of exercise. Pick something that is outdoors and go sweat. However, I agree with Mark Twain when he said, “Golf is a good walk spoiled”.Ifyou smoke: stop. One of the bad things about inhaling smoke is that it dramatically increases the concentration of carbon monoxide in your blood stream. This, in turn, decreases brain function due to the lack of oxygen arriving

I remember one of my first mowing customers in my youth. She was an elderly lady but she insisted I mowed her lawn with electric mower that required an extension cord. I wasn’t used to dragging a cord everywhere so suffice it to say I cut that cord a few times. She also had an electric string trim mer. You could probably say I really didn’t care for electric corded tools. When cordless tools started coming out they were very expensive to buy both the tool and the batter ies. So I didn’t jump in to buy them. Fast forward the quality and the price has drastically changed for the better. Almost all tools I own now are cordless
