Caldwell Hosts Youth Forum

just being a bystander. In the final session students got back together within their same-school groups and developed an action plan to take back to their schools. Students came from Caldwell HS, Vallivue HS, Canyon Spring HS, and COSSA (in Wilder), and were selected by school administration as those with leadership potential who may not have seen themselves as leaders, and who may not have had the confidence to pursue leadership training opportunities on their own. Those who attended the Forum went back to their home schools with a voice in ways to improve their own schools as they see a need. They also become the pool from which administration draws when student leaders are needed for many tasks, including input into the specific issues identified in each school at the end of the Forum.

On September 16th, the College of Idaho hosted 75 high school students, school staff, college student advocates, and organizational staff at this year’s Caldwell Youth Forum. Funded primarily by local businesses, the Forum day began with registration at the College of Idaho campus, followed by “icebreaker” activities designed to get students comfortable with each other and to realize that though they are from different schools, they face many of the same challenges and are individually more alike than different. Students share challenges they are facing, and people who inspire them. After lunch mini-seminars included: alcohol awareness/prevention of alcohol abuse, with a focus on taking appropriate positive action and standing up to peer pressure; asset-based thinking, learning about effective communication—especially listening skills; and prevention of bullying with an emphasis on taking positive action rather than

PANEL APPROVES NEXT STEP FOR CALDWELL PLAZA
Urban Renewal Agency Supports funding for Plaza Expert to Assist The Caldwell Urban Renewal Agency (CURA) has voted unanimously to contract with an expert to support Caldwell’s effort to build a state of the art community plaza in its downtown. Indian Creek Plaza Committee Chairman, Kelli Jenkins presented the request to the CURA during Monday night’s open public meeting. The Indian Creek Plaza committee has been working toward the development of a programmed plaza that will draw between 300-2000 people downtown nearly 250 days of the year. Prior to the plaza’s development, a Programming, Development & Management Plan for the plaza must be developed to answer questions about development of the plaza and even the costs of the plaza. “We’re grateful that CURA has decided to fully support this effort,” said Kelli Jenkins, Chairman of the Indian Creek Plaza Committee. “This is yet another step in making the plaza a reality for the residents of our community.” A contract has been awarded to Main Street Square, Inc. Dan Senftner, is the CEO and President of Main Street Square and will act as the consultant for the professional services. Senftner has been the driving force behind the wildly successful plaza in Rapid City, South Dakota.
By John McGee
Following the unanimous vote, Caldwell Mayor Garret Nancolas declared, “we now see light at the end of the tunnel and that light is Indian Creek Plaza.” Senftner will work with The Indian Creek Plaza Committee, a group of local citizens, on the next phase of the project. Some of those services include basic operational expectations of the plaza, staffing needs, capital recommendations and infrastructure needs based on Senftner’s experience, event and programming needs for the approximately 250 programmed (events) days of the year. Senftner will be coming to Caldwell in October to begin the process. He will conduct a community workshop and work with local officials and community members to examine community assets, demographics, economy, strategic partners, funding options and to work with local business & property owners. Within a few months, Stenftner and the Indian Creek Plaza committee will deliver a “Programming & Operations Plan” that is unique to Caldwell. “This is the next logical step for us to plan for downtown Caldwell’s future,” said Jenkins, “Mr. Senftner’s efforts are a critical piece to this complex puzzle and together we will do what is right for Caldwell.”

Community Loses Advocate for Children, Rest In Peace Bob Holmes
New Businesses Downtown! Kudos to Urban Renewal!
By Leora Summers, Caldwell Perspective Editor
By Leora Summers, Caldwell Perspective Editor
Robert “Bob” Holmes was truly an advocate for children. He was a behind the scenes kind of guy who was always looking for ways to make the lives of children better. Bob will be sorely missed by The Mentoring Network where he volunteered not only as a mentor to children, but also as their CPA/Accountant. Donna Shines, Mentoring Network Organizer said, “up until the time of his death, he graciously gave of his time to share his expertise keeping our organization transparent and in-line with all of the laws governing nonprofits. Bob Holmes set the example and the memories we each have of him will live on in our work in Canyon & Owyhee county schools as we continue to serve and make the futures of more and more children a little brighter by listening and caring and showing up!” Benita Miller, Third Judicial District Court Administrator/ Canyon County Courthouse, reported that Bob also served as an advocate for thousands of abused and neglected children in court for kids in the child protection
system in Adams, Canyon, Gem, Owyhee, Payette and Washington Counties. He was a member of the 3rd District CASA Board of Directors for 18 years holding the office as Treasurer. He was also a founding member of the Third District Youth Court and has served on the Youth Court Board of Director’s as the Treasurer/ Accountant for the last 20 years. Bob has volunteered for 20 plus years providing services to the courts. He was a dedicated advocate to children. He served as a Mentor in the Mentoring Network Program. In 2012 Bob was recognized by Intermountain Community Bank with their Community Star Award and a $1,000 gift for The MN. What a treasure the children in our community had in Robert “Bob” Holmes. God Bless him. The family was so gracious in suggesting donations be made on Bob’s behalf to The Mentoring Network, 711 N. Dover Court, Nampa, ID 83651; OR to the 3rd Judicial Youth Court, P.O. Box 877, Caldwell, ID 83606.

Open house on September 11th for Painted Lady Salon and Sassy Gals Boutique
Two businesses had a joint grand opening on September 11th in the core of downtown Caldwell! They were previously located near each other outside the downtown core on Specht Avenue. They decided to join their efforts to find a place to relocate in a downtown core area and said they went to 3 or 4 Urban Renewal meetings to see if that agency would somehow help make that possible. After consideration, Urban Renewal presented them with an attractive lease, and downtown they came. They now Painted Lady Salon Owners L to R: Megan Weitz, Cindy Weitz and Alex Urresti
share a unique business space at 217 S. Kimball, previously the business space of Coyotes Wine Bar and Shop. Painted Lady Salon is located on the ground floor with Sassy Gals Boutique upstairs on the second level. Painted Lady Salon is a full service salon. One of the owners said that a lady had called to see if they did facials, and not skipping a beat, one of the owners ran out and got what it took to have that service for her and was ready to take care of her when she arrived. Sassy Gals Boutique Sassy Gals Boutique owner, Glenda owner, Glenda Blessinger, Blessinger says she spent 3 years at her other location on Specht Avenue and is excited to be downtown. Her shop includes jewelry, boots and western wear. She says the style of clothing in her boutique is really more trendy than just western with lots of fashionable styles. Go check it out! It was great to have Urban Renewal make it attractive for these businesses to locate downtown. This is Urban Renewal as it should be, revitalizing downtown by doing what it takes to get businesses back. Continue the progress and fill downtown up! Business begets business!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
By Laurisa Webster MD, R2 FMRI, RTT Program
Submitted photo
M y grandmother was a busy woman on a ranch in the Rockies. Life was paced at a rate that often pushed non-urgent matters, like routine doctor’s visits and health screenings to the end of the priority list. She had noticed lumps in her breast, and after some time lapsed, went to a physician. Unfortunately, by the time she obtained medical evaluation and was diagnosed with cancer, it had already spread throughout her body. She was diagnosed at age 61 with metastatic breast cancer and passed away at age 63. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. One in 8 women will develop breast cancer. It is estimated that 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the US. Considering the above statistics, it is no surprise that a lot of research has gone into developing recommendations for the screening for breast cancer. Current recommendations from the US Preventative Services
Task Force is that mammograms be performed on all women aged 50-74 years of age every two years. Starting screening earlier then 50 should be considered in a patient that is at a higher risk, such as family history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or other risk factors. Women older than 75 should have mammograms every 2 years if they are expected to live more than 10 yrs. Some providers choose to start mammograms at age 40; however, benefits and risks of early screening should be considered and discussed between the patient and provider. There are other guideline recommendations that vary slightly and some providers choose to follow different recommendations; however, the important part, is that all women, specifically if older than 50 years, should be having a discussion with the provider regarding if they need screening. In regard to self breast exams, it has not been shown that this helps detect breast cancer earlier. By all means, if someone does notice changes in their breast or lumps, this should be discussed with a physician regarding the next step for evaluation; however, routine breast exams are not required, especially if receiving routine mammograms.
The significance of screening is that detecting breast cancer sooner enables treatment to be initiated earlier. The success rate of earlier treatment is impressively higher. Studies have shown that 95% of women who were started on treatment plans within half a year of their diagnosis were still alive 5 years later compared to only 29% of women still alive when treatment was delayed 5 years. For early treatment to occur, breast cancer must be found early, which brings us back to the importance of routine screening. The point of sharing these numbers and facts is not to scare anyone or trigger paranoia, but to emphasize the importance of the early detection of breast cancer. My hope is that this article will prompt action that will allow other grandmothers and mothers to spend more years with those she loves. Laurisa Webster is a second year resident in Caldwell’s Family Medical Residency of Idaho’s Rural Track Training Program in Caldwell. Caldwell has been a training ground for family physicians for the past 20 years.
Caldwell’s Free Fit and Fall Proof Classes Judie Phariss is the Fit and Fall Proof™ Class Leader at the Caldwell Free Methodist Church and also organizes and leads some of the classes at the Caldwell Senior Center. As we age, our hips, knees and ankles get stiff and we may lose overall muscle tone and strength making us more prone to falling. Judie says there are three levels of abilities among participants. Some people may need a chair throughout the exercises, some need the chair some of the time and then there are those who don’t need the chair (but keep it close by). None of the exercises are done on the floor. Chairs, light one-pound weights, and stretching bands are used during these exercises. You may just drop in to check it out. For more information call Judie at (208) 880-9855.

Judie is demonstrating a balance exercise with husband Mike. She says the exercises are modified according to the participant’s balance and strength ability and the goal is to improve their balance to help prevent falls by recovering before the fall.
Mike and Judie demonstrate this strengthening exercise using stretching bands. This improves body core tone and strength. The bands have different strengths to help increase the level of strength as the participant improves.

Fit and Fall Proof Classes Offered to Seniors
By Ana Vidales
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every 18 seconds in the U.S. a senior adult is treated in a hospital emergency room as the result of a fall. From 2012 to 2014, falls were the leading cause of accidental death among Idahoans aged 65 and older. During this time, 88 percent of all unintentional deaths by falls were among individuals 65 years of age and older. Injuries from falls take time and money for treatment. Falls may also significantly reduce a senior adult’s independence and severely affect their quality of life. How can we decrease these alarming statistics? Many different factors contribute to falls. A first step to reduce falls is to discuss potential risk factors with your medical provider. In this discussion, you may include any physical limitations you have, how to make your home safer, medications you are taking, staying safe around pets and their toys, proper use of devices for mobility and if any of your health conditions limit physical activity. With your physician’s consent, regular physical activity or exercise helps to improve and prevent the decline of muscle strength, balance and endurance — all risk factors for falling. A fun and free way to exercise is through local Fit and Fall Proof™ classes. These classes offer low-tomoderate intensity exercises designed to reduce the risk of falls and improve mobility, balance and strength. They
are designed for individuals to exercise from a chair or a wheelchair if needed. Fit and Fall Proof classes also offer seniors an opportunity to expand their social network. Often, these classes become more than an exercise class. Participants become friends and plan social activities in addition to attending classes. Currently in Caldwell there are two Fit and Fall Proof™ classes offered. Caldwell Senior Center(Monday and Thursday: 10:00 am to 11:00 am) Caldwell Free Methodist Church (Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 10:30 – 11:30 am) Along with participating in a local Fit and Fall Proof™ class, you can also eliminate risk factors in your home. Five easy steps you can take to make your home fall-proof include: • Remove loose rugs and cords. • Make sure stairwells are welllit and have sturdy railings. • Repair broken or uneven steps. • Look for and pick up clutter on the floor like magazines, boxes, blankets, etc. • Make sure frequently used items are on easy-to-reach shelves.

Also served were brauts (boiled in beer and then bbq’ed) with buns onions, sauerkraut and different types of mustards to dress them up and last but not least, season fresh corn on the cob. Everyone brought varieties of German Beer, wine and soft drinks and a variety of desserts. It made for a fun party!
As you walk into the Rosenthal Gallery of Art, your ears are greeted by the metallic repetition of a clock-like click, clack, click, clack. The background noise of semis idling and the soft exhale of air brakes being released accompany the mechanical metronome. On a wall, a video projector shows a pumpjack dipping its head to the earth like a chicken pecking seed. The images and sounds are all part of the newest exhibit to hit The College of Idaho’s Rosenthal Gallery, Where the Antelope Play by Arin Lindstrom. The exhibition, which is on display now through Oct. 16, is the culmination of three years of research displayed as a body of video artworks. Using video, photography and audio to create an experience in a space, the work is a visual response to the effect of petroleum and gas exploration on Wyoming’s natural resources, wildlife habitat and ecosystems. The exhibition is free and open to the public. The Rosenthal Gallery is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you are unable to see the show during those times, or if you would like to schedule a private viewing, please make an appointment by contacting C of I art professor Dr. Garth Claassen at gclaassen@collegeofidaho.edu.

Odd Fellows Museum
To introduce the public to their organization, the Caldwell Odd Fellows Lodge No. 10 invites you, the public, to an ice cream social on October 10th at the Odd Fellows Museum (920 Grant Street) from noon-4 p.m. All are welcome. Go down and let them introduce themselves to you. You have probably driven by it a thousand times and never knew what it was all about. I know that I have. I can’t believe that it has been there since 1952 and that I have never wandered in. It is the Odd Fellows Museum for the State of Idaho. It is located at 920 Grant Street and is on the corner of Grant and South 10th Avenue. It has memorabilia from the earliest days of the organization, not only from Caldwell, but from all over the states and Canada. There are some regalia items from Silver City with Silver City’s silver adorning them. Many items are from the Odd Fellows Home, “the home on the hill” as it was called. The “home on the hill” was a retirement home for Odd Fellows prior to changing hands. It is amazing to see the variety of items from here and everywhere else within this museum. The museum is normally open two days a week, on Mondays and Fridays, from 9 a.m. to noon or by appointment. Odd Fellows is a fraternal organization that has been in Idaho over 150 years. Idaho City has the oldest lodge. The Caldwell Lodge is the 10th lodge instituted in Idaho but the 1st lodge in Idaho to get their charter (1884). There were 9 others under Oregon and Washington prior to Idaho becoming a state. Caldwell’s lodge chartered before they did after statehood.

A Place of Reflection Caldwell’s Densho Garden

Dan Pugmire! I know I’ve written about him time and time again, but I just can’t get enough of this guy! He’s been to the “dark side” and back. What an inspiration he is. He just graduated from Veteran’s Treatment Court on September 14th.
appearances, “no matter how far you get down the crapper, you can pull yourself out of the toilet. It was a hard, hard road to come back from. I’ve become a better person. I have good relationships with my children now and I am getting married. You can get back from the shame and I’ll be here for you guys.”
Garden) at 305 West Belmont Street. Ken has been putting in about 70 hours a week at the garden since April.
Dan Pugmire and Ken Batt I had heard about it before and was reminded of it while attending the last Caldwell Centennial Band concert of the season, Caldwell’s Densho Garden. So I made it my mission to find it and there it was, all tucked away behind the Caldwell Police Department on the bank of Indian Creek near 4th Avenue and Arthur Street. It was such a nice surprise to see this serene setting that honored our Japanese American citizens in such a special way. There were some benches for sitting, trees and shrubs found native in traditional Japanese gardens and a very nice donor wall with memory bricks on the ground leading up to it honoring loved ones. I looked it up and Densho means “Legacy” and this special place was created as tribute to 2nd generation Japanese Americans who settled in the Treasure Valley. It is a place where future generations can reflect on their past and appreciate the sacrifices that their predecessors made that gave them the opportunities that they have today. What a lovely place! Another hidden gem in Caldwell. Check it out!
Judge Southworth and Dan Pugmire Judge George Southworth presented him a certificate of completion for Veteran’s Treatment Court. Pugmire has been under control for 7 years with the issues that caused him to go through this process and has been off probation since June. He said he has had a lot of good support and it is “a blessing to be here.” When at the final stage (stage 5) of the program, he knew that success was around the corner. He said to other veterans present for their court
Terrence Biggers presents Dan with flag.
Dan was presented with a U.S. Flag and certificate signed by Mike Crapo, United States Senator that said, “This is to certify that the accompanying flag was flown over the United States Capitol. At the request of the honorable Michael D. Crapo, United States Senator, this flag was flown in honor of Veteran Dan Pugmire.” They declared a special day in Washington D.C. for Veteran Pugmire! What an honor! Directly following the progress report by Veteran Ken Batt to Judge Southworth, Dan Pugmire presenting Batt with a watch and a dog tag honoring him as the “Veteran of the Year 2015”for his service working at the Idaho Veterans Garden (formerly the Caldwell Veterans
Other veterans reported on their progress one by one to Judge Southworth. Southworth asked each one how things were going for them, if anything new was going on in their life and how that was going for them. He congratulated them for the progress they made and hoped they would continue to progress. If they faltered in the program, different sanctions were placed on them depending on their violation of their contract. They could still progress, but had to complete the sanction first. Veterans Court wants veterans to succeed and for many it is a work in progress. Following each report, each one picked a small reward and their name was put into a drawing for a graphite fly rod and a Target gift certificate. Veteran’s Court is an alternative sentencing court to help get veterans back on their feet after scrapes with the law after returning to civilian life. Due to their service, veterans may come back suffering from substance abuse and depression. Veterans are special people and this program gives them a little extra special consideration to help them move on with their lives as civilians. God Bless the program, Dan Pugmire and all our veterans.

About 9 p.m., September 27th, I was notified to go out and look at the moon and this is what I saw. It is called a “blood moon.” A blood moon is a lunar eclipse where the earth gets between the sun and the moon and the earth’s shadow is cast upon the moon causing it to look “blood red” hence the term “blood moon.” Actually this moon is even better than that because it is not only a full moon, but also a super moon so it is considered a “super blood moon.” This triple combination has only happened five times since 1900 and the next predicted super blood moon will happen in the year 2033. How’s that for a little trivia?
Katey Martinez, age 9, caught this big one in the Boise River in Middleton on September 13th. It was about 26 inches long and she caught him with a worm. What a big thrill for a little girl! Looks like maybe a squaw fish. Whatever the heck it is, it sure is a big one!

So now’s the time to trim back roses and shrubs to tidy them up a bit before winter. I don’t like to do heavy pruning until March or April of the next season because as this winter went you could lose more than just the top of the shrub you could lose the root also. So trim them back or shape them so they look orderly and maybe ready for Christmas lights. Perennials are and will die back on their own, best to let them do that. But to remember what’s there when they do, take pictures or put markers by them so in the spring you don’t think they’re a weed and pull them or spray them. It’s happened before. Fertilizers and preemergence. It’s a good time to prepare for spring in the fall. Once all the beds are clean and

Local Dirt Perspective Fall and Winter Planning #2
looking good you’re not quite done. In mid October to mid November is when I normally put down my fall chemicals. You’ll get the best wake-up call come spring because of this. Fertilize everything with the appropriate fertilizers. Pine trees and azaleas love acid fertilizers and most everything else like your basic lawn fertilizers. Put a good ratio down for your area and size of plants. The winter rains and snows will slowly dissolve these and yet leave them right in the soil till spring. Because plants tend to start activity far earlier than we realize so to have food present when they start stirring is the best way for them to start. Also spread pre-emergence in all your beds and tree wells because are plants too. Well next time, we’ll talk about putting up your garden tools and lawn equipment, unless some brave soul asks me a question.

Yes, it’s that time of year again. One of the signs is that the man I am standing behind at the grocery store checkout line has about 3 bags of mini Snickers candy bars, sealed bags of jerky, chips and beer. I knew it was going to be happening soon and here we go again. The hunters go through many preparations before heading up to “elk camp.” There is the sighting in of their rifles, the tuning up of their four wheelers, side by sides and what have you. The trailers and tents are being checked out to make sure they have what they need to be able to use them. It is quite a process
that goes along with their quest to “get the big one!” On the other side of it, those left at home, though they try to look sad at the departure of their loved one, are secretly waiting for the day their hunter leaves, so they can clean out the stuff he never used, but could never part with. Don’t tell him that’s what we do, or he may come home early and stop the process that delights us so. The amazing thing about this, is that when they come home, they never really know what’s missing. So ladies, kiss them goodbye, wish them luck and then get down to business! Ha!

The City of Caldwell is a community with a rich agricultural history deeply rooted in its early pioneer days. The City feels it is important to educate citizens and visitors to Caldwell of the lives of early settlers in order to gain full appreciation of the sacrifices that were made to create this wonderful community.

The museum’s beginnings date back to 1934, when the Idaho Native Daughters’ organization had the McKenzie cabin moved from the Curtis Park area to its present location. The museum is named after C. M. Van Slyke, a former Canyon County Commissioner and orchard farmer in the Sunny Slope region. Commissioner Van Slyke donated several pieces of farm machinery that are still displayed at the museum today.

Caldwell High School’s class of 1945 recently enjoyed their “Seventieth Anniversary Reunion.” Twenty-one classmates, about 20 percent of the total class, met for the last time on September 18th at the Caldwell Elks Lodge. They prayed, sang the Cougar Fight Song and enjoyed a delightful luncheon. They reminisced about their life experiences. Several World War II veterans were present. One from Vancouver, Washington had traveled to Washington D.C. last year as a participant in the National Honor Guard flights to visit the World War II Memorial plus Arlington Cemetery and other historic sites. The most enjoyable part of their activities was talking with old friends. The attendees voted to donate their remaining funds to Caldwell High School for the purchase of a new state and national flag.

Over the years, the museum grew with the additional donation of the Johnston Cabin, home to three bachelor brothers, an original caboose and refrigeration car from the Oregon Short Line and the Union Pacific railroads and various agricultural equipment, including three steam engines. The museum was run by the local Kiwanis Chapter until 2010, when ownership was transferred to the City of Caldwell. Since assuming ownership, the City has begun the restoration project with the help of grants
and donations. The cabins have been stabilized with new roofs, foundation repair, track lighting and the caboose has some received some much-needed repairs to the exterior.

“When apples were harvested, selected varieties were turned into cider. The apples were shredded and the press squeezed the apple juice out of the pulp. The shredded apples were placed in the top and someone turned the handle or used a small engine to drive the mechanism. When the bucket was full, it was moved forward under a round block. The crank was turned, and the block pressed the pulp into a solid block while juice ran down a wooden chute to a pail. The leftover pulp was often fed to pigs.”

As a small boy, I was able to live an adventurous boy’s dream in the early 50’s. My Uncle Bob Watson had a ninety-nine year lease on five thousand acres of government land near Duarte, California. The property was almost surrounded by the Santa Fe Dam. Uncle Bob raised several hundred hogs on part of the land. He had several hands that lived on the property...besides his own home. Being a real “Scotsman,” he convinced the city to deliver their garbage to his ranch instead of a land fill. He had free feed for his hogs and his business turned into a “million dollar” industry. I can remember seeing hundreds of pieces of silverware that people had accidentally thrown into the garbage. I was amazed. Besides raising hogs, he also raised horses, many being prized Palominos that he showed at horse shows. I felt very privileged and honored to be able to spend most of my summer vacation there and to accompany him to shows. For a city kid to have five thousand acres of land to investigate was unbelievable. I even had my very own horse to ride and the mare’s name was “Zang.” She was a huge Sorrel. I even rode her when she was in
foal. My little legs almost stood straight out from her huge girth. We would ride down to the dam in the winter time when the snow melt would run into the San Gabriel River, a lake would form and with the snowcapped mountains in the distance...it was an amazing sight, deserving to be on some type of postcard. Uncle Bob was an honorary member of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Posse and once a year they would come out and help him “break” his young horses. What a treat for a young city kid! The hands would take this city kid under their wings and let me “nander” around the pens. I have so many recollections of that time and still treasure those memories. Once a skunk somehow got into the chicken coop and killed several hens. Uncle Bob had to
shoot the varmint. I was in awe. The five thousand acres , of course, had game of all kinds. This attracted hunters of all types. Some were legal and some --not. I remember one occasion when my uncle and I were walking near the lake. i was complaining about the bees buzzing around our heads. My uncle realized it was winter and bees were pretty dormant. It was then he realized it was poachers shooting over our heads in an attempt to warn us away from their illegal traps! For a country born, city raised, kid to be able to experience these adventures was wondrous beyond measure. To be trusted with an animal and to be able to roam free at nine years old, was an honor I’ll always hold dear to my heart. Larry Gaukel (formally from Saugus, CA--but now Caldwell).

Take a look at your earnings record and make sure it is correct, as sometimes not all your income gets reported and your eventual benefit is based on your earnings, not your contribution. There are instructions for correcting mistakes and an estimate of your benefits at full retirement, age 70, and early retirement (62). It never hurts to know where you stand. Take the time to understand your Social Security benefit and talk to an expert if have any questions. Then take the rest of the day and go fishing.
IRS Phone Scam! By Leora Summers
By Larry Gaukel
I have been receiving this IRS scam phone call lately. It goes like this: “The very second you receive this message from IRS, we need you to call us back on IRS Hotline (202) 517-6444. I repeat, we need you to call us back on IRS Hotline (202) 517-6444. The issue is very time sensitive so before IRS takes any legal action against you, you need to call IRS as soon as possible.”
They are just preying on your fears! Just know that an initial contact with the IRS will never be from a phone call, but from an official letter in the mail. If you get one of these calls and you think you might owe taxes, you should call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. If you never received a bill or the caller threatened you, then call and report the incident to TIGTA at 1-800-366-4484.

The Caldwell Chamber of Commerce welcomed Micki Hempsmyer, new owner of Story & Company, to the Caldwell business community with a ribbon cutting on August 27th. When Micki heard that Ruth Story was selling the business, she felt that this was a divine opportunity and she just had to become the new
marketplace to serve her church as office manager, simplifying her life and allowing her to spend more time with her husband, Rick (a Caldwell native), who suffers from chronic illness. She is now so excited to become a part of Caldwell’s business community. “I am so impressed with the wonderful people of Caldwell, the beautiful women of Caldwell and their families, and with the supportive business community here as well as the town’s leadership,” Hempsmyer said. “I will be proud to be an active part of it all.” The name of the business will not change. Story & Company is located at 724 Arthur St. in downtown Caldwell. It will remain the same upscale resale clothing boutique with upscale consignment, new merchandise, jewelry and accessories. Welcome to Caldwell Micki!
One day, I hope to retire. I don’t have any desire to retire early because I don’t really know what I would do with myself and rather enjoy working. I would probably head down to the office everyday and bother the folks that were trying to get their work done. I just as well continue to work and make myself useful. That being said, when I do retire I’m not going to collect Social Security until I’m seventy. Simply by putting it off for three years and two months, I will increase the amount I receive by a little over 28%. There are a couple other tricks to maximize benefits but I probably won’t take advantage of them because they are gimmicks in my opinion, that serve to destabilize the program at a time when there are enough questions about its stability. I highly recommend you go to the Social Security website

When the welding was finished, Gavin and his friends raised the U.S. flag. After the flag was raised, he topped off the pole with a brass eagle which was donated and refurbished by United Metals in Caldwell. The concrete forms for the next two flag poles, a POW flag and an all military service flag, will be set up at a later date. Eventually a stone wall will be erected behind the flags and further landscaping will be done around the mound. All the materials were donated. Low’s Concrete donated the concrete.

Gavin Coyle, a Vallivue High School sophomore who belongs to Boy Scout Troop 112, sponsored by the 1st Church of the Nazarene in Nampa, chose to honor the Idaho Veterans Garden (formerly the Caldwell Veterans Garden) at 305 West Belmont Street, Caldwell through his Eagle Scout project. He wanted to create a special area where 3 flags will fly high honoring the garden. On September 11th, Gavin helped with the pouring of the concrete form in which to set the first of the 3 flags. Though Gavin didn’t dig the hole, he secured all the donated labor and products to complete this project. On September 21st, after the concrete was cured, Gavin secured

September 19th-what a great day of health-related and other services to our community that Compassion Caldwell provided
for many to folks who could not normally afford them. Special thanks goes out to Jim and Sharon Porter for spearheading this 2nd annual event. Thanks also goes to all the healthcare professionals and the many other volunteers who donated their time, materials and dollars to make this possible. The six months of organizing this event for medical and dental services to the folks of our community was a great investment in people. We commend you!

I have been a member of Caldwell City Council for 12 years, and I feel exciting changes coming in our near future. With our population reaching 50,000 citizens, our city will see many opportunities for growth and commercial development. I believe my experience on City Council helps our community move forward. I believe my years of experience on city council is value to the citizens. I am currently the only female on our council, and feel the decisions made for Caldwell’s future need female representation. I have been thrilled with the beautification efforts made by the city and business owners in our downtown. These projects will help a plaza and commercial development become realities to our downtown core. I am enthusiastic about Caldwell’s future!
Caldwell is my home, I grew up here, I am raising my kids here, and I have spent 30 years serving the citizens of this great city. Being an active member of this community is very important to me and I am excited to be a part of Caldwell’s future. I have very strong family and community values. I have relied on these values to guide my decisions in my leadership of the police department. I have been leader in tough times and have made many tough decisions and stood by the results. I am proud of what we have accomplished and excited to be a part of a bright future. I will always put the interest of our citizens first when making council decisions.
I think a healthy community is one in which everyone is represented and everyone participates. It is time that there was someone on the Council that represents the 35% Latino population of Caldwell. I am also excited about the energy there is in Caldwell right now regarding downtown. I am a business management graduate of BSU with 24 years’ experience working in the finance office of the City of Caldwell. I am knowledgeable in the financial day to day activities and operations of the city. Because of that experience I can offer a different perspective to the council regarding expense and revenue challenges the city faces. I am a good listener and have an honest and fair temperament.

I think Caldwell’s citizens deserve better representation, and that I have to offer. In my 76 years, I’ve had a moderate amount of experience, 9 years in the Idaho Army Guard, 60 years at Bennett Machine & Welding, 40 of those years as co-owner and manager. For 46 years I have been married to my wife, Ida, and for nearly 40 years, a father (2 sons, 1 daughter). Along the way we hosted 10 exchange students. In the last 11 years, my wife and I have attended many council meetings and several budget meetings.

“Yote Spirit”
Entertainment
Touchdown by quarterback J.J. Hyde, who was later injured and taken out of the game to take to the hospital. He will be out for the rest of the season.
On September 19th, the Yotes lost their home football game to the Southern Oregon Raiders (42-27). The Yotes won their first game of the season against Eastern Oregon (40-28), being their only win so far. However, they have certainly played competitively, only to lose in the last minutes to Pacific (35-34) on September 5th, to Montana Western (24-20) on September 12th and then again to Montana Tech (29-21) on September 26th. Let’s help spur them on during October! Come on yotes, just a little bit more...think like the Little Train That Could. “I think I can, I think I can!” Go Yotes! Show Yote Spirit! Wear PURPLE on “PURPLE FRIDAYS!” “We’re Loud! And We’re Proud!” That’s what these girls said and what an understatement if I ever heard one. They are the epitome of the “Yote Spirit” when it comes to watching the C of I play football.

Doggone Fun At Indian CreekByFestival Leora Summers
The dogs were in full attendance for the registration for the Dog Parade during the Indian Creek Festival. It was fun to watch them sign in. There were big dogs, little dogs, old and young dogs and dogs of all kinds. They were milling around smelling each other and giving each other the eye. All had a good time and I’m sure this will be another great event next year. Kudos to all their owners and to the City of Caldwell for giving this a try.
The answer is the Canyon County Landfill or Pickle Butte Landfill. When I asked the lady at the landfill what inspired them to have that particular speed limit of 17mph, she said that when the limit was 15 mph, people would go 20 or 25 mph, but for some reason when they tried 17 mph, they went the limit. Go figure!

Thea Sperelakis, a doctor with the “Doctors without Borders” program comes home when she hears that her father, a world renowned physician, was struck down by a hit and run driver, leaving him in what appeared to be a coma in the hospital in which he played an integral part. Her siblings wanted to pull all treatment, but Thea would not agree because she could not yet deem him “hopeless.” Thea’s suspicions that this was not an accident causes her to try to communicate with her comatose father and comes to find that he is able to communicate with eye movements. The news to others of this discovery has now put dear old dad and Thea in danger and a conspiracy begins to unfold. Dr. Thea’s responses to the ever changing situations are also colored by her Asperger’s Syndrome which also makes this an interesting thriller. This story is full of twists and turns. There is romance, danger and eventually enlightenment. This was a good read!
Book Review
By Amy Perry, Rubaiyat Book Store
“I Know a Little Greek (and his name is Timothy)” by Linda Going Varnes “I Know a Little Greek” is a primer on Greek based on the Timothy Letters in the Bible. This Christian-based primer begins with a retelling of Timothy’s story before moving into the language lessons. The lessons are easy to understand and follow, using Biblical quotes as examples. Underlined words are defined by “The New Strong’s Complete Dictionary of Bible Words” and footnote allow for additional Bible study. Illustrations by Ms Varnes are included in the book. I can recommend this children’s book to anyone interested in Greek.
