Living With Grace, Goodness, and Cancer

Michael Hensel and Carol Penner are smart, witty, faithfilled, fun, lovers of life, their families and their communities. They both also have metastatic cancer. When I had the idea for this article, I wanted to make certain readers don’t walk away feeling pity or sadness. Neither Carol nor Michael want that, and this story needs to be about the miracle of the spirit, the awesomeness of modern medicine, the fact that when we meet someone, we have no idea the weight they may be carrying in their hearts, and gratitude and thanksgiving; especially gratitude and thanksgiving. Carol Penner is in her “mid-seventies” and was diagnosed with Carcinoid syndrome seventeen years ago. Cancer started in her small intestine and metastasized to her liver soon after. She has had surgery and a complete bowel resection. She has taken shots of cancer fighting medicine, first two shots twice a day at a lower dosage and now a shot once every month. She has never missed an appointment and she knows she has lived seventeen years with cancer and will likely die with, but not of cancer. Carol is my next door neighbor and my dear friend. She is a spitfire full of one liners and puns and nearly always has a smile on her face. She retired from a middle school

hot lunch program and she makes a mean bread pudding, which she freely shares with her carb loving neighbor. Michael was diagnosed with renal cell cancer five years ago, November 15th. His cancer started in his right kidney and his left ureter. He had surgery, and for a while, no cancer showed. About eighteen months in, a scan showed spots on Michael’s pancreas. A biopsy revealed it was his renal cell cancer metastasized. Since then, he has had his pancreas and spleen and part of his intestine removed. He had a clean CT scans for another period of time and then it was discovered he had cancer on his hip. Michael was advised that renal cell cancer responds to the same treatments that melanoma does. He was offered the opportunity to travel to Seattle for Interleukin II infusions. Interleukin II is a type of cytokine signaling molecule that regulates white blood cells responsible for immunity. An oncologist at Mountain States Tumor Institute in Nampa had a mentor from University of Washington who is a leading physician in the use of Interleukin II in treating renal cell cancer. Michael’s renal cell is the first case his oncologists know of to metastasize to a pancreas. The Seattle infusions were long and arduous, and hard on Michael’s body. He’d be infused for a week,

have a week off, and receive infusion again for a week. He stated they basically infuse until the body simply starts to shut down and has had all it can stand. The infusions were successful at first and doctors noticed the spot on his abdomen had shrunk and looked to be disappearing. However, after a second set of infusions in Seattle, nothing had changed. That was in February of 2018. About that same time, the FDA approved a new treatment for the cancer Michael has. He receives a daylong infusion every three weeks. These infusions, while invasive, are easier on him that the Interleukin was, and they are given locally. Michael was scheduled for a CT scan the afternoon of the day we met for this interview. CT scans are days looked at with mixed emotions. The scan may show there have been no changes. It may show his cancer has grown or spread. It may show the treatments are shrinking his renal cells. Michael is hopeful and optimistic and courageous. He is also scared. He didn’t tell me that, but I am scared for him, so I know he must feel fear to a degree. Carol was raised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Since her marriage to Bob Penner, she has gone to his church, a Baptist Church in Caldwell near her home. She talked

by Tammy Dittenber, Caldwell Perspective Editor

openly of how her faith has been a sustaining factor in her seventeen year journey with cancer. She said Jesus has shed His grace on her and He is her salvation. Carol has seen much precious life in seventeen years; grandchildren, great grandchildren, and she has seen Bob through his own health struggles. Michael spoke of those he met in Seattle at the University of Washington Medical Center, some children and some in their nineties. He said he prayed for others, feeling as though if someone deserved a miracle, it was not him. He also acknowledged the power of the prayers others have said on his behalf. He said he knows there is power in those prayers because of the tender mercies and miracles along the way. He said his faith has been a constant to carry him through. Michael spoke of his nine year old son, Audie, and the joys of watching him grow up. Michael will have had cancer for five years in a few short weeks. He knows he may always have cancer in his body. But his gratitude transcends his doubts and his faith is bigger than his fear. When asked what they would want readers to know about their walk with cancer, Carol simply said “God is good”. Michael spoke of the intercessory prayers on his behalf and how critical and powerful they have been.

Both Carol and Michael, at very different places in their lives, know that the next scan could show cancer spread, and change the course of life. But they also know that modern medicine, world class physicians, new treatments, research, faithful adherence to treatment, prayer and miracles, could give them another precious day and a thousand more after that. My hope is that readers take away from Michael Hensel and Carol Penner, that one never knows what the next person he encounters is carrying around. We may know their smile, the sparkle in their eyes, the detail with which then attend to our tax preparation, or oil change, or that they make a mean bread pudding. We know only the surface we see. There are thousands of metastatic cancer patients walking around living life, loving their families, serving their communities, waiting tables, or taking care of others, who feel only gratitude for the miracle of another day or week or year. This is a story of Thanksgiving. We are here to lift the load of another, to hold hands that hang down, and to be prayer sender or the prayer answerer every chance we get. Knowing Carol and Michael makes me a better person. I am grateful for the miracle each one of them is.

Hello Caldwell! I’m pleased to be at your service! My name is Tammy Dittenber, and I will be covering Caldwell news, and editing the Caldwell Perspective, until Chantele kicks

me out. I was born in Caldwell and lived here until I was 33. After a few years in Boise and Eagle, and twenty years in Middleton, my husband, daughter and I moved back to Caldwell in July of 2017. My parents and sisters live here, our youngest daughter attends the College of Idaho (GO YOTES), my husband is Director of the Caldwell Housing Authority, and the city of Caldwell is graven on our hearts! I was part of Caldwell when large department stores were the downtown places to shop (I worked at the Idaho Department Store and Model Market on 7th), and the downtown bustled. I was also here when the buildings emptied

and exodus left the City blighted and abandoned. I loved you through it all and had such high hopes. I feel nothing but excitement for what has already happened and what’s on the horizon! I routinely do happy dances upon hearing of the commitment, vision, and good works happening in our City. I believe in creating community, and I have a facebook page called Creating Community in Caldwell Idaho where I share my vision, as well as local current events. I am committed to Caldwell and I love sharing the great things that happen every day, right before our eyes, which often go unnoticed. My husband Mike and I have three children,

three granddaughters, and in our spare time (we never have spare time) we love dinners out, naps, and hitting a good movie on occasion. I believe in shopping where I live, so I try to patronize as many Caldwell businesses as I can. I am excited to be able to write some human interest stories, cover Caldwell service clubs, sharing projects and service opportunities, introduce new businesses, attend and report

on City Council meetings, and contribute to the Grace Corner as I can. If you have something you’d like to talk about or a story that needs told, you can contact me at editor@caldwellperspective. com. Please say hello when you see me around! I’m an introvert and a mingling failure, but if you speak up, I can carry on a decent conversation! Until then, practice gratitude and share your sparkle!

Boise Agility Runners and Climbers Club hold Fall agility Trial

The Boise Agility Runners and Climbers Club (BARC) will be holding its Fall North American Dog Agility Council (NADAC) competition on Friday-Sunday, November 9th, 10th, and 11th. Dogs and handlers competing in this event include regional, national and North American champions. Teams from the Treasure Valley and throughout the Northwest will be running over the duration of the weekend at the Canyon County Fairgrounds. The first dog will be on the start line at 8:30 a.m. and the competition continues throughout each day. Spectators are most welcome and admission is free. “Dog agility is all about building a bond with your dog, working as a team and having fun,” said Terry Lidral, who is a member of BARC and competes in agility with her 10 year old sheltie, Angie. “It’s a great way to keep your dog healthy and happy. There are different courses that offer different levels of challenges. There’s something for beginners as well as championship courses to challenge dogs and handlers who have reached a high level of skill.”

The purpose of the NADAC trials is to demonstrate the ability of dog and handler to work as a smoothly functioning team. The handler directs the dog through an obstacle course that consist of tunnels, weave poles, jumps, hoops and teeters without food, toys or hands-on direction. There are a variety of courses with differing obstacles and challenges for the handler. During the trial, BARC will be holding its annual benefit raffle. This year’s recipient of the raffle will be the Caldwell Police K9 Unit (CPK9). Funds will be used to assist the CPK9 in acquiring training equipment for their newly fenced in field in Caldwell. The equipment will not only be used for training, but will provide stress relieving recreation for the dogs that spend the majority of their time on duty riding around in cars. A meet and greet by the CPK9s is being planned for the event. Everyone is welcome to come and meet these very special dogs and their handlers. Please check out the BARC web site for times at boiseagility.org

Teachers can enter students their first year by paying only $6. See dates and contact information below. The Caldwell Fine Arts Music Festival is an annual event benefiting piano, violin, viola, and cello students and

their teachers. The festival has served the community since the early 1960s, when it was started by members of Caldwell Thursday Musicale. Caldwell Fine Arts has sponsored the festival since 2009.

Caldwell Fire Department celebrated Fire Safety Month by making visits to our local schools. This is a highlight of our job, getting out and being with the youth in our community. We have had the opportunity to teach about fire safety in several schools the past few weeks and the response was phenomenal. We talked specifically about the importance of practicing an escape plan with families to ensure in the event of a fire, everyone knows what to do. It is important to remember to test your smoke alarms. Working smoke alarms save lives by

This is the fourth year they have collaborated with Burger King to say thank you for all the officers do for the city of Caldwell. On October 13, 2018 the Caldwell Police Department held the first annual “back the blue” cornhole tournament, which was a huge success. All funds raised will help with construction of the new CPD K-9 facility. A huge shout out to Lt. Hoadley, his wife Mylinda, police administrative assistant Bianca Stevenson and her husband Austin, and the K-9 staff and family for making this tournament a major success. Thank you to Detective Heitzman for taking the time to make fifteen sets of cornhole boards, and a special thank you to CSO Gallagher, Stelzner, Johnston, and Carol

The Champions

Hoadley for sewing all of the cornhole bags together. CPD would also like to say thank you to all the businesses that donated; without your support, this event would not have happened. The champions this year were none other than Cpl. Bendawald and Cpl. Troyer (cheaters). Second place finishers were the “corn ballers”. The “corn ballers” were a great team; I know firsthand as they beat my team 21-6. There was a little controversy at the tournament. I was paired up with a partner who had never played cornhole. I do not want to mention any names but it rhymes with Sgt. Kershaw. I am very competitive and I do not like to lose. Therefore, I started a 364-day cornhole workout program for Sgt. Kershaw. We will be back and we will win this tournament next year.

“Line for Drivers License Renewal Lines” Dear Sheriff Donahue: I went out to the Graye Ln. DMV four different times to try and renew my driver’s license at different times of day each visit to this office. The 4th and last time (October 19th) we arrived at 0730 only to find a line across the front of the building and headed south down the street. I recently had my left leg amputated and am on crutches. There is no way I can stand in a line like that. I am sure there are other folks in the same or worse condition. I was fortunate enough to have my wife with me and she waited in the line until the doors finally opened at 0800. It took 1hr. and 45 minutes to get my driver’s license renewed. I called ITD to see what is going on and was told there has been a shift to a new system. The problems at the DMV offices are universal and there are lines like I encountered at every office in the State of Idaho. I asked

who is responsible for these lines at the local level and was told that person is you. I am imploring you to do something other than the status quo about these lines. I recently sent in a complaint via the online complaint form on your webpage about it only to get an email response from Joe Cox in the Assessor’s Office about lines at the Vehicle Registration offices. Who ever read my e-complaint obviously didn’t read my complaint. That is why I am writing this letter to you in the hopes my concerns will reach you. I would appreciate a written response to my letter about these ridiculous lines the people of Canyon County are forced to wait in every day to complete a simple renewal of their driver’s license. Regards,

You just want to go home, I will help you get there. Helping Treasure Valley Buyers & Sellers for over 19 years!

October 19, the staff of Caldwell Housing Authority got a jumpstart on Rake Up Caldwell. The whole crew, seen above, visited a disabled veteran in south Caldwell, and trimmed his large poplar trees, raked up brush, loaded debris and hauled it off for him. The trees have not yet lost all of their leaves, so the team will go back on November 10,

for Rake Up Caldwell and finish the job. This is just one of many groups in Caldwell with service hearts. As we took photos and talked with them about the project, they were laughing, smiles all around, and working hard. We know the homeowner and neighborhood are blessed by their efforts. If you or your church group, family, neighbors, service club, school

team, etc. are interested in being equally fulfilled and blessing others, go to City Hall at 8 am on November 10th, grab some tools and be assigned yards to rake. If you or someone you know who would benefit by having a happy crew show up to rake leaves, please call Susan Miller at City Hall 208-4553011, or email smiller@cityofcaldwell.org.

Work in Progress: Hand-Crafted Granola, Delicious and Nutritious

by Angela Matlashevsky

Imagine the best granola you’ve ever eaten; flavorful, not too sweet, and packed with real berries and nuts. Where can you find such a perfect combination of this delicious treat? Right here in Caldwell! The story of this perfect granola begins with Doug Sanders. Born in Pocatello, Idaho, Doug always dreamed of a profession in food. He desired to create delicious products with real ingredients that one might already have in their in-home pantries. The first step to achieving this dream was to educate himself. Doug underwent a grueling culinary arts program

in Vancouver, Washington, where for nearly nine hours each day he learned under culinary masters from the west coast and even the pastry chef to the Queen of England. The program earned him 72 college credits, after which he decided to further his education. Around this time family friends of the Sanders’ decided to sell their company, Nature’s Indulgence. They had started in Utah and produced hand-crafted granola using oats from Doug’s father’s oat mill, Highland Milling LLC. Knowing that his son wanted to step into the culinary business, Doug’s father asked the friends what they wanted for

the company; the cost was that of one year’s college tuition. Doug had a choice to make; go to school now and start up a company of his own later or buy a well-established company and get to working right then and there. He chose the latter. Now the owner of his own company, Doug moved Nature’s Indulgence to Caldwell, where his family roots go back over 100 years. He opened shop in a rented space that once stored wine, a literal giant refrigerator, and continued to expand on the work of his friends. Granola (originally known as Continued on page 9

Building Idaho’s First Ice Ribbon

The change in the seasons brings a huge change to Indian Creek Plaza, an ice-skating ribbon and rink! You may be wondering ‘how in the world are those people going to make an ice rink in the middle of downtown Caldwell’? First, dasher boards, which create the walls of the ice ribbon, are fastened onto the concrete in the shape of the ice ribbon and ice rink. Next, we build the ice one thin layer at a time. A refrigeration system built into the concrete helps freeze the water and keep the ice solid during periods of warmer weather. Paint is applied between layers of ice to make it white. Finally, the ice resurfacer finishes the ice to the perfect texture for ice skating! The entire ribbon building

process takes about three or four weeks, depending on the weather. ‘Ice making weather’ is a combination of temperatures near 40 degrees Fahrenheit, little to no sun exposure, and winds of less than 10 miles per hour. While we intended to open the ice-skating rink on November 10th, the predicted temperatures for November may delay when we can start building the ice. We will announce the official opening date on social media, our website and our email newsletter. Make sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, or visit IndainCreekPlaza.com.

recall thinking, “life could not get better than this. This is all I could ask for.” That evening, she heard the radio announce the bombing of Pearl Harbor. She said, “I felt a chill down my spine, like ice water, and I knew nothing would be the same.” She admitted she was scared. She said the newsreels and radio coverage was full of rumors and she distinctly remembered politicians after World War I saying, “no more war”. She said, “They lied.” Residents were ordered to cover their windows and stay indoors. She said everyone had their radios on and if one walked down the street, a steady news story could be heard from home to home. People wanted and needed to know what was happening and how it impacted them, but unlike modern time, real news was slow to come and it was all by radio. Betty said there was rampant fear of Japanese American citizens in the area. No one knew if they were friends or enemies and she remembers feeling conflicted and afraid. Prior to moving to Hollywood, Betty had traveled to Springfield, Illinois to visit a friend from high school. The young woman had a boyfriend and he had a friend who became a friend of Betty’s. Both boys were enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and Betty’s friend was on the USS Tennessee at Pearl Harbor during the bombing. Betting and the young man had been pen-pals and he had shared much of his experience in Hawaii, and now he wrote about what he had experienced at Pearl Harbor. The USS Tennessee had been damaged during the bombing but the crew was able to limp the ship across the Pacific Ocean to Bremerton, Washington. While stationed in Bremerton, the young man would hitchhike to Hollywood to visit Betty, whenever he had leave

time. It was from him Betty learned all about the Marines. “I learned the culture, the discipline, the values, and the ins and outs of the Marines”, Betty said. “I knew the Army had WAC (Women’s Army Corps), the Navy had WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service), and the Coast Guard had SPARS (United States Coast Guard Women’s Reserve), but the United States Marine Corps was the sole domain of men. Betty said, “The Marines were the first in. They had no place for women!” As the war went on, the Marine Corps began a campaign entitled “Free a Marine to Fight”, and began enlisting women to help with the war effort by filling stateside billets. Betty caught a bus into Los Angeles, found the recruiting station, walked in and signed up. She remembers raising her hand to the square as she took her oath to serve, “I had that ice water down my spine feeling again and the entire time, I was thinking, ‘there is no turning back now, I’m all in’!” Because enlistees had to be twenty-one and Betty was only nineteen, she had to get her mother’s signature of approval. Because the Marine Corps had never enlisted women, they had no facilities for them for training, housing or basically anything. So, Betty went home to Tulsa, and waited. She waited a few months, and in that time began regretting her decision. She was a long way from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and she thought the Marine Corps would be farther yet. She was back with her mother, whose strictness had not waned in spite of Betty having grown up. She remembers thinking, “If I had not left Tulsa, I’d have been stuck with 1920s Oklahoma mores for the rest of my life. Betty’s assignment with the Corps came soon. She re-

Betty Martin is a ninety-six year old spitfire, and that might be the understatement of the decade. Now living in Caldwell, she has been around the world and then some and has stories for every person, place, and experience, along the way. Betty was born in 1922 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her father died when she was ten, leaving her mother, brother and her, during a difficult time in American history. Betty said her mother was strict and one thing Betty knew was, “I did not like taking orders or obeying rules, I was a rebel from the beginning.” At the age of seventeen, Betty’s mother took her to visit her Aunt’s house in Hollywood, California. At that time, young people were wide eyed and innocent, and she was from Tulsa, where life was conservative with Midwest values. Hollywood was pure magic to her. Glitter and glamour and at night, the ocean air would come in and she could smell the gardenias and orange blossoms; Betty was sold. She noticed an art school about six blocks from her aunt’s house, and she begged her mother to let her stay with her aunt to attend school there. After what must have been some serious negotiating, at the tender age of seventeen, she was living in Hollywood, just above the boulevard, with Grauman’s Chinese Theater visible from her window. She attended art school and a short time later, her aunt’s family relocated and she moved into a one bedroom bungalow just a few blocks away, still a stone’s throw from Hollywood boulevard and all the glamour it offered up. This was a magic time for Betty. It was a magic time for America. Betty remembered, “One Sunday, I was lying on the sofa on my stomach, with my head hanging over the edge, reading the Los Angeles Times newspaper. I distinctly

ceived an assignment and bus tickets to Hunter College in the Bronx in New York City. The Marines had commandeered the college, cordoned off the streets and turned the entire area into a boot camp for women; the first one hundred fifty women to ever take on the title of US Marine. This was boot camp. This was real life and if Betty had not liked her mother’s strictness and taking orders, she was about to find out that indoctrination to the honor of being a Marine, was going to test her mettle. Betty Martin gives an especially harsh drill instructor credit for making her boot camp, and later her service, bearable. She said he would yell and, red faced, chastise the young women threatening each that any minor misstep would send her home and she’d be booted from the Corps. But after he’d rant and yell, under his breath he would say “you aren’t fit to be a Marine if you aren’t smart enough to get away with this” and “this” was whatever he was ranting about at that moment. Betty thought that fit nicely with her rebellious side and gave her impetus to spend time with the other young women plotting and planning how to twist the rules just a bit or get one over on the command. She said they turned it into a game and she felt it let her be herself, while marching to the Marine Corps strict rules. Every night was filled with the sounds of young women crying. Their daily routine included marching, inoculations, classes and plotting. The other young women knew if no one else was up to try something, Betty always was. Betty ultimately was sent to Cherry Point North Carolina Air Station, and was assigned as an aerial photographer. This, after she listed her preferred station as “Kansas”, knowing they were likely NOT to send her where she requested and knowing there was no Marine

base in Kansas! Betty and other photographers rotated duties and would load film canisters one day, develop film the next, take photos one day and have ambulance duty to photograph accidents, the next. She said she hated ambulance days. Betty was on a base with sixteen other young women, and two thousand young hot shot pilots, who were trained to fly the F4U Corsair into combat. She said the plane was a hot little thing and the pilots were young and brave, and when they left, it was never assured they would return. One of her vivid and most haunting memories is of a young Major who with one combat tour behind him was on base and while landing, caught a crosswind, which “rolled that plane up in a ball” with Major Withers inside. She said the only thing identifiable in the wreckage was a portion of the Major’s backside with his sand brown USMC belt in his pants. She had to take photos and develop them and Continued on page 9

Granula) was originally developed by James Caleb Jackson who served it at his health spa in 1863. Granola has since then had many revivals, taking on various shapes, uses, and flavors. Unlike most massproduced granola, the granola produced at Nature’s Indulgence is an old recipe that Doug hasn’t changed. It uses oats, whole grains, and real fruits and nuts among other natural ingredients and flavors. It is proudly “Idaho Preferred”, an honor only given to products where at least 20% of the ingredients are sourced from Idaho; Doug has more than doubled that margin, with 50% of his ingredients sourced locally. The main ingredient, oats, comes from farms in Caribou County and

as far as Coeur d’Alene, all of which are provided to him through his father’s mill, which supplied Nature’s Indulgence years before. Doug and his employees mix all their granola by hand, producing roughly 25,000 pounds of the delicious treat every year. Only a few changes have been made over the years, mainly switching to organic and non-GMO ingredients when possible. Doug uses ingredients that are familiar, like blueberries and maple syrup, as well as some that are a bit different, such as quinoa and hemp, to produce a variety of unique flavors. Along with selling his granola online, he now carries it in the Albertsons on Broadway Avenue in Boise and through various local ca-

fés. Doug bakes pastries in his facility as well, which can be purchased at our very own Roots & Co. and Indian Creek Steakhouse, where he works on the weekends. Doug Sanders’ dream was always to create great products with wholesome ingredients. Through his company he is one step closer to achieving his ultimate dream: to open a restaurant in Caldwell similar to Nampa’s Brick 29. Doug wants to create a place with a warm atmosphere and great food at a reasonable price. Doug says, “People have told me that a restaurant like Brick 29 won’t last in Caldwell; I think it can, it’s just no one has tried.”

she said she will never erase the images from her mind. Betty described the base and the walk she and the other young female Marines made to get to their duty assignments each day. They walked down the center of the tarmac between two rows of f4Us parked nose to nose in straight rows. She said the uniforms they gave the women were “bags” that were ill-fitted, and just hung. The skirts were long and the tops were baggy. All of the young women hated them, but the Corps was trying hard to assimilate these women without turning the base into the equivalent of a modern day dating site. Given to rebellion, Betty had let the other girls know she was fresh out of design school and could alter the uniforms to

make them “fit nicer”. So, one night, Betty backstitched and took the tops all in and shortened the skirts. The next day, as the women walked to their posts, the pilots fired up the engines of the planes and as the women walked in between, strutting their new and improved Corps issued uniforms, air caught their skirts and blew them around. Betty said it was a proud moment. No one ever required the uniforms be put back to the original. Betty’s time in the Marine Corps elicits the fondest of memories. She giggles at one incident which takes her back and right into another laugh about the next incident. She ultimately returned to California and went to work in an aerospace engineering firm

as a draftsman. There she met her husband. They had four children, three daughters and a son, and traveled the world with her husband’s employment. Her home is full of mementos from all the world over, and treasured memories. Betty’s husband is passed and one of her daughters died of an undiagnosed heart ailment while in adulthood. Betty said, “I don’t like hanging out with old people. I just don’t have anything in common with them.” She’s right. Betty says she will always tear up when she hears the Marine Hymn. The Corps shaped her and she, in some ways, I have to think, shaped it. Betty and her daughter were able to travel to Washington DC on an honor flight recently and she said it will be one of

and emails to the company, a total of $105 was lost. BBB offers these tips when shopping online: Know the advertiser. Check out retailers at bbb.org before you shop. Check a site’s security settings. If the site is secure, its URL (web address) should start with “https://” and include a lock icon on the purchase or shopping cart page. Be a savvy shopper. When shopping online, be sure to take your time, and read the fine print before submitting your order. Look for the return policy; although many online orders can be returned for a full refund, others have restocking fees. Some items cannot be returned; know before you buy. Protect personal information. Read a site’s privacy policy and understand what personal information is being requested and how it will be used. If a site doesn’t have a privacy policy, that’s a big red flag that it may be a scam. Double check before you click. Be especially cautious about email solicitations and online ads on social media sites. Many sketchy retailers advertise great deals or trendy clothing that don’t measure up to the promotional hype.

Beware of too-good-to-be-true deals. Look for and read the fine print. Beware of phishing. Phishing emails can look like a message from a well-known brand, but clicking on unfamiliar links can place you at risk for malware and/or identity theft. One popular scam claims to be from a package-delivery company with links to “tracking information” on an order you don’t remember making. Don’t click! Shop with a credit card. In case of a fraudulent transaction, a credit card provides additional protections; it’s easier to dispute charges that you didn’t approve. Debit cards, prepaid cards or gift cards don’t have the same protections as a credit card. Keep documentation of your order. Save a copy of the confirmation page or email confirmation until you receive the item and are satisfied. Be sure to know and understand the return policy and keep this documented with your purchase records. Keep a clean machine. Install a firewall, anti-virus, and anti-spyware software. Check for and install the latest updates and run virus scans regularly on your computer, tablet, and smart phone.

The Fall Caldwell Prayer Walk

Place of Grace

November is National Family Caregivers Appreciation Month Through the years I have found myself caring and providing care for my family members. As the oldest child it was my responsibility to our family to take care of my younger sister and brother. There were defined expectations that were strictly enforced by a belt Dad carried around his waist at all times. I know the few times he had to use it his “allergies would act up” and his eyes would become watery. As a parent now I understand, there is never enough time to do the things I want to do with the kids and the last thing I want to do is discipline them when I get home from the long hours I work. As a kid there

was a structured, known list of chores; dishes, laundry, vacuuming, bathrooms, lawn care and starting dinner. My mom is the best cook, so starting dinner entailed flouring and frying the chicken or rolling out the noodles to start drying for homemade chicken noodles and every night we peeled potatoes. As I grew older, grandma’s health began failing and I quit my job to take care of her. What treasured days those have become. Providing care for anyone, whether family or not, is hard but rewarding. In caregiving you are helping someone achieve something they cannot do on their own.. It’s not for the weak at heart.

A few years ago, I met Roger Price, owner of Home Care Solutions, Inc. He has a beautiful house (Home Sweet Home) with 12 beds for individuals who cannot live in their homes, but who want the comfort of a home setting, rather than a facility. In addition to the staff working at Home Sweet Home, 160 plus people work as caregivers. Many are family members of the person needing assistance, in addition to caregivers who are dedicated, caring professionals, who quickly become like family. A couple of years ago, I began working for Roger. My job was to match clients with caregivers. During the early part of my employment

with Home Care Solutions, there was a client I would help with any needs the family had. Erin lives with her dad, mom, and sister at their family home. She was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome around 2 years old. Rett syndrome is a brain disorder that is usually diagnosed between 6 and 18 months in females. Although we don’t share blood, this girl is my sister. Nonverbal, Erin makes her feeling and thoughts known and she is nothing short of ornery. Once a week, late in the evening I make my way to Erin’s to help with bath night. With November National Family Caregiver Appreciation Month, I wanted to tell Erin’s family how amaz-

Over 50 individuals including industry representatives from the greater Caldwell community and career technical educators from Caldwell High participated in a barbecue followed by a number of technical advisory committee meetings on the evening of Thursday, October 11th. During the barbecue, John Ross from the Idaho Department of Labor shared opportunities for educators and industry to collaborate in providing registered apprenticeships to advanced students in career technical programs. Advisory committee meetings for each program followed the barbecue and allowed the career technical educators a chance to share their vision and

Two Outstanding Adult Volunteers Helping Caldwell High’s Auto Program Gear Up

by Rob King, Caldwell High School District Community Liaison Caldwell High’s Automobile Technology program is gearing up for a big year. Under the leadership of Randy Ireland, the program has added two very skilled adult volunteers to help students prepare for the demanding and rewarding career field of automobile technology. The two volunteers are Nathan Holm and Jim McCreary. Nathan is originally from Oregon and became a selftaught auto mechanic. He moved from Oregon in 2015 and is presently working on a masters degree in counseling at Northwest Nazarene University. Nathan had his own towing company until 2009, and he was a classic mini-technician with Jett Motors in Portland for a time during his career. He loves to buy and restore cars. He was born with a congenital disease that led to a loss of most of his vision, but he is able to repair cars primarily through a unique capacity to L to R: Jim McCreary, Randy Ireland and Nathan Holm. diagnose problems through touch. Jim McCreary has lived in a variety of states during his life and has also served in the military. He was an auto technician for many years. He loves helping students learn both the technical and business skills of the auto industry. Jim had a great experience in his auto class in high school, and he wants to help provide that type of experience to Caldwell High students. Randy Ireland and the Automobile Technology program at Caldwell High are looking at introducing outreach programs to the middle schools and sponsoring an Alumni Day, a Drag Club, a Car Club and a day where students are exposed to local muscle cars. There is also an effort to work in collaboration with the auto technology program at CWI to help more students go on to CWI to earn a certificate or degree in auto technology.

Caldwell High has career technical programs in welding, auto technology, engineering/robotics, business (High School of Business), health occupations (including CNA and sports medicine), family and consumer science, and agriculture. It was an enjoyable evening of productive dialog between educators and industry representatives. Thanks to Ivak Cooper, Caldwell High CTE department head for grilling some great tri-tip beef!

Founders, Board members and dignitaries toss the first shovels

Last summer, through the financial support of the Caldwell Foundation for Educational Opportunity, I had the opportunity to attend the Lorenzo de Zavala Youth Legislative Session at the University of San Diego. Before I left, I was scared - it was my first time flying in a plane and being away from my family for a whole week. I had to step out of my comfort zone by being around people I never met before, in a new place I had never visited. My biggest challenge was putting myself out there. One hundred sixty students from across the U.S. attended. When I arrived to the campus, everyone had their own groups. The first two days were the most difficult; everyone knew each other and I was the odd one out. But this changed quickly after meeting my roommates. From there I began to make more friends. Breaking through this obstacle made the rest of the trip easier. The intent of the Session was to create a student government. First, we were asked to form parties. Elections for positions began at that point. I decided I would run for a justice. Making this decision was tough for me because I hate public speaking. Justices had to deliver a speech for primary election with their parties.

Although I won primary elections, I lost the second elections. Even though I didn’t get the position, I wasn’t upset. I still played an important role, being in the House of Reps. Next, everyone had to write a proposal. The purpose of the proposal was to come up with an idea that would positively enhance the Latino community. Our goal was to pass the proposals into law. Going to this conference was very inspiring, I was surrounded by such great leaders and meeting them changed my outlook on my potential. I built many new friendships and gained knowledge on how the government works and the different positions in office. I also gained confidence in myself and leadership skills that I didn’t know I had. This experience made the idea of making a difference and becoming an impactful leader more realistic than it was before.

Matt Strong and Monica White, co-founders, introduce Elevates first two commite students

On October 17, Monica White and Matt Strong, longtime Caldwell educators and administrators, stepped one pace closer to realizing their dream of opening a Career Technical Education focused school in Caldwell for students 6-12 grade. Elevate Academy, a charter school, is the first of its kind in the area and excitement is high. Welding, Metal fabrication, Construction Management, Culinary and Graphic Arts, Nursing, Fire Science, and other technical courses will be taught to the level of

certification or Associates Degree by utilizing dual credit capabilities. The Academy will operate on a year round basis with four days a week focused on traditional academic classes and one day a week directed solely to Career Tech Ed coursework. Founders enjoined with community stakeholders in a variety of trades and workplaces to assess what their needs are and how Elevate can help meet those needs. Idaho currently has 2.9% unemployment, and that means there are more jobs to

be done, than there are people to do them. Hiring a qualified workforce, with a strong work ethic, for jobs requiring technical or certificated skills, is a challenge for many local employers. R and M Steel, Rule Steel, West Valley Medical Center, Treasure Valley Community College and many other community partners have made significant financial and in kind contributions to see this Academy come to fruition. You can visit their website at www.elevate2c.org for more information.

Caldwell High School Boys Soccer Program

2018 saw the greatest year for the Caldwell High School Boys Soccer program. Coming off a year where the team lost in heartbreaking fashion at the State Championship Game, the squad rallied around this loss and vowed to make amends. With nine returning starters and fourteen seniors, this team had high expectations, but surpassed even their greatest measure of success. They went undefeated at 20-02, won their third district title in four years and despite having the toughest draw at the state tournament of any team in the field, they won all three games (including a battle against Wood River who defeated them last year at state) to take the first State Championship in 22 years and the first ever since boys soccer was sanctioned by the IHSAA. As of last week the team was ranked number 43 nationally by MaxPreps. Their dominance was reflected in the All Conference selections as well with Javier Rodriguez being named the Player of the Year while another five Caldwell players were awarded First Team honors (of 11 spots possible). In total there were eleven players honored for their outstanding work this season. With the most wins in school history, the only undefeated State Champions in conference history (any team) and both postseason tournament titles, this is without a doubt the greatest season ever at Caldwell!

Five Ways to Stay Active During the Holidays

1. Plan an active challenge for yourself and stick to it. Create your own active challenge for the busy holiday season. Whether it is doing a 15-minute yoga video three times a week, experimenting with a new gym class twice a week, trying a new weight-bearing exercise once a week, plan a challenge and stick to it. 2. Treat yourself. No, don’t treat yourself to another sugary snack or beverage. Treat yourself to portable fitness equipment or even new workout clothing, if it is within your budget. Investing in equipment or workout clothing will boost your motivation to use them and be active. Try investing in some equipment that you can bring with you while traveling, like resistance bands. 3. Start a family fitness tradition. Inspire your family and start a new family fitness tradition during the holiday season. Plan a walk after eating holiday dinners. Organize a game of tag

or hide-and-seek. Or, plan a holiday treasure hunt that gets the family out-and-about and off the couch. Make this a tradition by doing it each holiday and you will be helping to create a culture of health within your family. 4. Use your mobile device. Use technology to your advantage to stay active this holiday season. Download an app(s) or video(s) to your mobile device or watch an online video that will help you get moving. Some of these may be especially helpful when you are traveling or trying to avoid the outdoors during a winter storm. 5. Avoid the escalators or elevators and take the stairs. In one minute, a 150-pound person burns approximately 10 calories walking upstairs and only 1.5 calories riding an elevator, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While shopping this year, choose to take the stairs and walk an extra lap around

There are, however, shortcuts that I’ve used to make the task easier, one of which is learning how identify the visual weight of a picture. People are attracted to balanced things; we like our flowers to have radial symmetry (they look the same as you spin them around their centers) and our fireplace mantels to have the same mass of objects on both ends. When drawing, artists will often map out their pictures so that neither side is heavier than the other. This means that if you draw something that takes up space on one side of the picture, something else has to take up space on the other side. There is something

of an exception to this rule: when dealing with an area of focus, such as a portrait or a sun set, it is perfectly appropriate to make one area of your picture visually heavy in order to emphasize another area.

The RED lines divide the picture into three sections of perspective, the center waterfall being “heavier” than either the far off mountains or the cliff with the large tree. The sun circled in BLUE is a bright point that draws your eyes to the far mountains, ensuring they aren’t lost amidst the waterfall. The GREEN lines divide the picture in three horizontally, separating the calm water below from the busy center (where the girl is located) and the heights of the waterfall, mountains, and tree. This is a perfectly balanced picture, made possible when you take the time to study and practice weighing your objects so that you don’t tip the scale.

problems they face are universal. The story begins when water ceases to flow from the taps in Southern California, the Colorado River no longer feeding LA. Alyssa, the main protagonist, and her little brother are left on their own to survive, without water, for an un-foreseeable period of time.

NOT IMPORTANT...BUT POSSIBLY OF INTEREST

One of my earliest childhood memories is of the Sears Roebuck store on State Street in Boise. The store had a tack department, located in the southwest corner of the building with about a dozen saddles on display. The saddles were mounted on a specially-built wooden stands so customers could sit on them. This allowed perspective buyers to get a “feel” for the different styles. It also allowed small boys to climb aboard and imagine they were riding the range chasing bad guys

with Hopalong Cassidy and Roy Rogers. The saddle display was my first stop whenever we went to Sears. Sears Roebuck played a significant role in the lives of many families in the 1950s. Many homemakers wouldn’t even consider buying a washer, dryer or kitchen appliance that didn’t have the Kenmore brand name on it. A set of Craftsman mechanics tools was a male status symbol. If you broke a wrench or socket you took it back to Sears and it was replaced no questions asked. Guarantees don’t get any better than that. A big event every fall was the arrival of the Sear Roebuck catalog. It was several inches thick and weighed several pounds. Of special interest to me was the toy section filled with the stuff of which dreams were made. For several years I lusted after the Fort Apache action set which included a tin lithographed

stockade, a covered wagon and numerous plastic soldier and Indian figures in various poses. Fort Apache never appeared under the Christmas tree but a friend received one and I concluded the catalog picture and description were better than the real thing. One of the highlights of my youth came in the mid 1950s when I went to the State Street Sears store with Dad and returned home with a J.C. Higgins three-speed lightweight bicycle. They called that type of bike an “English Racer” although mine was made in Austria. I was possibly the first kid in Kuna with a threespeed bike. That trumped the lumbering single speed Schwinn Phantom “tank” bike which until then had been at the top of every boy’s wish list. As a teenager, I did my duck and pheasant hunting with a J.C. Higgins 20 gauge, boltaction shotgun. The firearm

The Purple Heart Metal

The Purple Heart medal, in its most basic form, started its existence during the Revolutionary War. It was called the Badge of Military Merit and it was created by George Washington. It was a piece of purple cloth that was cut into the shape of a heart with the word ‘Merit’ sewn onto it. Unlike the current medal, this badge was given for bravery, not for being wounded. Only three were issued. The first U.S.award for being wounded was in WW1. It was called the Army Wound Ribbon. It only lasted a month. It was replaced by the Wound Chevron which was worn on the sleeve of the uniform. After WW1, in 1931, General MacArthur decided to breathe new life into the old idea of a medal for being wounded. He gave his specifications to Elizabeth Will who designed the new Purple Heart. The medal was approved by congress on the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birthday. It was awarded retroactively to those who served in WW1 and earlier. The criteria for the new Pur-

ple Heart were a mix of the original Badge of Military Merit and the Wound Ribbon. Servicemen not only could receive the medal for being wounded by the enemy but also for meritorious performance of duty. The latter criterion was removed after the creation of the Legion of Merit medal in 1942. The Purple Heart medal then became eligible for those wounded in combat or killed in action only. Times have changed and the face of the enemy and his tactics has changed as well. Today, the Purple Heart can be awarded for injuries from chemical or biological attacks, for IED concussive brain injuries, for injuries sustained by domestic terrorism and even for friendly fire. The Purple Heart medal is a somber reminder that the recipient has paid a price for our freedom. Some have paid the ultimate price in sacrificing their lives for our country and for the men and women at their side. A piece of medal and some cloth can never equal the loss of a loved one or ease the pain suffered by those

even survived being run over by Gary Brown’s 1936 Chevy pickup. After that incident, I no longer had to lead birds flying from left to right across my field of vision, but hitting a target moving from right to left was a real challenge. In recent years, when Craftsman tools appeared on the shelves at Kmart, it destroyed the credibility of the brand as far as I was concerned. Then a news story appeared announcing the upcoming closure of Boise’s Sears store which had long ago moved from State Street to the Town Square Mall. Financial experts say the company’s days are numbered, another victim of poor management decisions and an economy fast becoming Internet based. Those saddles were really cool.

who survive. There is a quote that reads: A veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America,” for an amount up to and including their life. The Purple Heart is that blank check, now cashed. For those who have received the medal, you have our respect and deepest appreciation.

In this revealing series of photographs, James Mollison invites us to literally look through a window into the homes of children in many countries and circumstances. The simple portraits and biographies, along with pictures of children’s sleeping spaces, convey a message of universal childhood full of hope, insecurity, vulnerability, pain, and comfort. His call to action is that we might walk away changed.
